Best way to manually move/rotate a physicsBody in SpriteKit iOS

Question

What is the best way to manually move or rotate a physicsBody in SpriteKit? The move will be invoked when the user touches the screen.?

An important requirement is that the physicsBody must move to and stay in the new position/rotation until the touch has ended. That being said, simply applying an impulse will not suffice.

Help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

two ways you can rotate and move a body

1)

ontouch for rotation

sprite.physicsBody.allowsRotation=TRUE;

ontouch for change x

-(void)didSimulatePhysics {

sprite.physicsBody.velocity=CGVectorMake(50, 0);

}

and second way you can do it by skAction but make sure your physics body is not dynamic

[SKAction moveBy:<#(CGVector)#> duration:<#(NSTimeInterval)#>];
[SKAction rotateByAngle:<#(CGFloat)#> duration:<#(NSTimeInterval)#>];

give a name to every action and remove it when a touch ended
