How do I change a UIBezierPath.currentPoint to a SKSpriteNode.position?
Here are the appropriate code snippets:
func createTrainPath() {
let startX = -tracksWidth/2,
startY = tracksPosY
savedTrainPosition = CGPoint(x: startX, y: startY!)
trackRect = CGRect(x: savedTrainPosition.x,
y: savedTrainPosition.y,
width: tracksWidth,
height: tracksHeight)
trainPath = UIBezierPath(ovalIn: trackRect)
trainPath = trainPath.reversing() // makes myTrain move CW
} // createTrainPath
Followed by:
func startFollowTrainPath() {
let theSpeed = Double(5*thisSpeed)
var trainAction = SKAction.follow(
trainPath.cgPath,
asOffset: false,
orientToPath: true,
speed: theSpeed)
trainAction = SKAction.repeatForever(trainAction)
createPivotNodeFor(myTrain)
myTrain.run(trainAction, withKey: runTrainKey)
} // startFollowTrainPath
So far, so good (I think?) ...
Within other places in my code, I call:
return trainPath.currentPoint
I need to convert trainPath.currentPoint to myTrain.position ...
When I insert the appropriate print statements, I see for example:
myTrain.position = (0.0, -295.05999755859375)
trainPath.currentPoint = (392.0, -385.0)
which obviously disqualifies a simple = , as in:
myTrain.position = trainPath.currentPoint
Since this = is not correct, what is ?
After more investigation, my guess is that .currentPoint is in SKSpriteNode coordinates and .position is in SKScene coordinates.
