SKSpriteNode Targeting - objective-c

Question

So RIGHT NOW my code presents 7 playing cards. If the playing card is pressed it moves removes the card from the playerCard array and adds it to the playedCards array. The problem is, is move the card I target it with a SKNode in the touchesBegan method;
-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
CGPoint location = [touch locationInNode:self];
SKNode *node = [self nodeAtPoint:location];
if ([node isKindOfClass:[CardSpriteNode class]]) {
Okay, no problem, the card moves up. The problem is, All the other cards left in the playerCards now need to move i.e ( tighten up ) as they were originally. Here's my formula for distances between them;
int cardsLaid = i * (cardDisplay.size.width / 3);
So I can now get the cards that are originally displayed and the ones that are touched, to form a nice gap between them.
What I need to do is to move the cards back to a nice gap, after one of the cards between them has been moved
for (int i = 0; i < [playerCards count]; i++) {
int cardsLaid = i * (cardDisplay.size.width / 3);
CGPoint forPoint = CGPointMake((0.5 - (self.frame.size.width / 4)) + cardsLaid, 0.0);
playerCards[i] //Here I need to target each skspritenode.name for each playerCards
[??? runAction:[SKAction moveTo:forPoint duration:0.6]];
}
So I need to target each SKSpritenode.name by the names saved in the playerCards MutableArray. Then once I've targetted a spritenode I need to move it where the ??? is.
Here's my entire touchesBegan method if it helps.
-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
CGPoint location = [touch locationInNode:self];
SKNode *node = [self nodeAtPoint:location];
if ([node isKindOfClass:[CardSpriteNode class]]) {
int add = (int)[playerCards count] * (cardDisplay.size.width / 3);
CGPoint origPos = CGPointMake(-self.frame.size.width/2.8 + add, -218);
if ([cardsPlayed containsObject:node.name]) {
//Card is already played, return to original position and remove from array.
CGPoint point = origPos;
[node runAction:[SKAction moveTo:point duration:0.6]];
node.zPosition = zPosCount;
zPosCount += 1;
[cardsPlayed removeObject:node.name];
[playerCards addObject:node.name];
NSLog(#"this ran");
} else {
//Card is not already played, position to add card and add to array.
amountOfCardsLaid = (int)[cardsPlayed count] * (cardDisplay.size.width / 3);
CGPoint point = CGPointMake((0.5 - (self.frame.size.width / 4
)) + amountOfCardsLaid, 0.0);
[node runAction:[SKAction moveTo:point duration:0.6]];
node.zPosition = zPosCount;
zPosCount += 1;
[playerCards removeObject:node.name];
[cardsPlayed addObject:node.name];
for (int i = 0; i < [playerCards count]; i++) {
int cardsLaid = i * (cardDisplay.size.width / 3);
CGPoint forPoint = CGPointMake((0.5 - (self.frame.size.width / 4)) + cardsLaid, 0.0);
playerCards[i]
[??? runAction:[SKAction moveTo:forPoint duration:0.6]];
}
}
//Hide.Unhide buttons
if ([cardsPlayed count] == 0) {
if (addButton.hidden == FALSE) addButton.hidden = true;
if (cancelButton.hidden == FALSE) cancelButton.hidden = true;
} else {
if (addButton.hidden == TRUE) addButton.hidden = false;
if (cancelButton.hidden == TRUE) cancelButton.hidden = false;
}
}
}
The gap I need to close is on the bottom playerCards

Answer 1

SKNode *tempNode = [self childNodeWithName:playerCards[i]];
