Swift Game Development - Third Edition

Adding the particle emitter to the game

We will attach our new emitter to the Player node, so the emitter will create new white circles wherever the player flies. We can easily reference the emitter design we just created in the editor from our code. Open GameScene.swift and add this code at the bottom of the didMove function:

// Instantiate a SKEmitterNode with the PierrePath design: if let dotEmitter = SKEmitterNode(fileNamed: "PierrePath") { // Position the penguin in front of other game objects: player.zPosition = 10 // Place the particle zPosition behind the penguin: dotEmitter.particleZPosition = -1 // By adding the emitter node to the player, the emitter moves // with the penguin and emits new dots wherever the player is player.addChild(dotEmitter) ...
