So I made some adjustments to the ball in my game and to avoid an unwrapping optional value error, I commmented out the following
//didMoveToView
self.physicsWorld.gravity = CGVectorMake(0, 0)
self.physicsWorld.contactDelegate = self
let fieldBody = SKPhysicsBody.init(edgeLoopFromRect: self.frame)
self.physicsBody = fieldBody
self.physicsBody!.affectedByGravity = false
self.physicsBody!.usesPreciseCollisionDetection = true
self.physicsBody!.dynamic = true
self.physicsBody!.mass = 0
self.physicsBody!.friction = 0
self.physicsBody!.linearDamping = 0
self.physicsBody!.angularDamping = 0
self.physicsBody!.restitution = 1
self.physicsBody!.categoryBitMask = CollisionTypes.Floor.rawValue
self.physicsBody!.contactTestBitMask = CollisionTypes.Ball.rawValue
// Prepare the ball - physics engine.
ball.physicsBody = SKPhysicsBody(circleOfRadius: ball.frame.width/2)
ball.physicsBody!.affectedByGravity = true
ball.physicsBody!.restitution = 0.8
ball.physicsBody!.linearDamping = 0
ball.physicsBody!.friction = 0.3
ball.physicsBody!.dynamic = true
ball.physicsBody!.mass = 0.5
ball.physicsBody!.allowsRotation = true
ball.physicsBody!.categoryBitMask = CollisionTypes.Ball.rawValue
ball.physicsBody!.contactTestBitMask = CollisionTypes.Floor.rawValue
ball.physicsBody!.collisionBitMask = CollisionTypes.Floor.rawValue
}
I did that, my game launced but as soon as toucheBegan, the same error popped up. I do not know how to get around all of these unrwapping errors. I am new to swift and not sure how i should adjust thse physics. My contactBegin looks this:
func didBeginContact(contact: SKPhysicsContact) {
let bitMaskAAndB = contact.bodyA.categoryBitMask == CollisionTypes.Floor.rawValue &&
contact.bodyB.categoryBitMask == CollisionTypes.Ball.rawValue
let ballAndBoardMask = CollideType.Ball.toMask() | boards.usedCollideMasks
// ball and board, handle it by board delegate
if bitMaskAAndB | ballAndBoardMask == ballAndBoardMask {
let boardNode: SKNode! = contact.bodyA.categoryBitMask == CollideType.Ball.toMask() ? contact.bodyB.node : contact.bodyA.node
let board = boardNode.bind as! BoardDelegate
board.didBeginContact(boardNode, ball: ball, contact: contact, game: self)
}
// ball and ceil => stop game
else if bitMaskAAndB == CollideType.toMask([.Ball, .Ceil]) {
stopGame()
}
// ball and floor => stop game add explosion or fall off screen
else if bitMaskAAndB == CollideType.toMask([.Ball, .Floor]) {
stopGame()
}
}
func didEndContact(contact: SKPhysicsContact) {
let ballAndBoardMask = CollideType.Ball.toMask() | boards.usedCollideMasks
// ball and board, handle it by board delegate
if contact.bodyA.categoryBitMask | contact.bodyB.categoryBitMask | ballAndBoardMask == ballAndBoardMask {
let boardNode: SKNode! = contact.bodyA.categoryBitMask == CollideType.Ball.toMask() ? contact.bodyB.node : contact.bodyA.node
let board = boardNode.bind as! BoardDelegate
board.didEndContact(boardNode, ball: ball, contact: contact, game: self)
}
}
EDIT: I set up my physics world to the suggestions you made and adjusted my didBeginContact fun however with the following code, I am getting multiple errors regarding: cannot convert value of type bool to UInt32.
PS. thank you for your help and patience, this is all new terminology and Im doing my best to understand. :)
