SKAudioNode else/if off/on Case

Question

I'm new to Swift coding and trying to figure out how to make looped audio with on/off function while touching a Node. I figured that the best way for me to implement it is through SKAudioNode, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong in the following code. When pressed on the Node - the SKAudioNode Starts to play, and then, after pressing to switch the sound off - the sound doesn't stop. When pressed another time - the sound overleaps on the previous one. Putting the whole essential piece here. Thank you in advance.

import SpriteKit
import AVFoundation

I'm creating a boolean here to trigger if sound is on or off:

var firesoundon = false

Setting up a scene next.

class GameScene2: SKScene {

    override func didMoveToView(view: SKView) {
    setUpScenery()    
}


private func setUpScenery() {


    //BACKGROUND
    let background = SKSpriteNode(imageNamed: backgroundImage, normalMapped: true)
    background.anchorPoint = CGPointMake(0, 0)
    background.position = CGPointMake(0, 0)
    background.zPosition = Layer.ZBackground
    background.size = CGSize(width: self.view!.bounds.size.width, height: self.view!.bounds.size.height)
    background.lightingBitMask = 1;
    addChild(background)


    //FIRE

    let fireLayerTexture = SKTexture(imageNamed: fireImage)
    let fireLayer = SKSpriteNode(texture: fireLayerTexture)

    fireLayer.anchorPoint = CGPointMake(1, 0)
    fireLayer.position = CGPointMake(size.width, 0)
    fireLayer.zPosition = Layer.Z4st        
    addChild(fireLayer)

    let firePath = UIBezierPath()
    firePath.moveToPoint(CGPointMake(0, 0))
    firePath.addCurveToPoint(CGPointMake(115, 215), controlPoint1: CGPointMake(5, 170), controlPoint2: CGPointMake(90, 190))
    firePath.addCurveToPoint(CGPointMake(150, 260), controlPoint1: CGPointMake(115, 215), controlPoint2: CGPointMake(120, 295)) //curve1
    firePath.addCurveToPoint(CGPointMake(180, 280), controlPoint1: CGPointMake(150, 260), controlPoint2: CGPointMake(155, 350)) //curve2
    firePath.addCurveToPoint(CGPointMake(225, 280), controlPoint1: CGPointMake(180, 280), controlPoint2: CGPointMake(210, 395)) //curve3
    firePath.addCurveToPoint(CGPointMake(250, 260), controlPoint1: CGPointMake(230, 280), controlPoint2: CGPointMake(245, 290)) //curve4
    firePath.addCurveToPoint(CGPointMake(290, 220), controlPoint1: CGPointMake(250, 260), controlPoint2: CGPointMake(280, 270)) //curve5
    firePath.addLineToPoint(CGPointMake(380, 200))
    firePath.addLineToPoint(CGPointMake(380, 0))
    firePath.addLineToPoint(CGPointMake(0, 0))
    let fireNode = SKShapeNode(path: firePath.CGPath, centered: false)
    fireNode.alpha = 0.2
    fireNode.zPosition = Layer.Z4st+1
    fireNode.lineWidth = 2
    fireNode.strokeColor = SKColor.whiteColor()
    fireNode.fillColor = SKColor.blueColor()
    fireNode.position = CGPointMake(size.width/2, 0)
    fireNode.name = "fireNode"

    self.addChild(fireNode)

Creating a Fire on/off function:

func fireTurnsOnOff () {

    let playguitar: SKAudioNode
    playguitar = SKAudioNode(fileNamed: "guitar.wav")   

    if firesoundon == false {

        addChild(playguitar)

        firesoundon = true
        print("firesoundon is == \(firesoundon)")              
    }

    else if firesoundon == true {

        let stopguitar = SKAction.stop()
        playguitar.runAction(stopguitar)
        print("GuiterStopped")

        firesoundon = false
        print("firesoundon is == \(firesoundon)")            
    }       
}



override func touchesEnded(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
    for touch in touches {

        let touchLocation = touch.locationInNode(self)
        let node: SKNode = nodeAtPoint(touchLocation)

      if node.name == "fireNode" {
          fireTurnsOnOff()
        }

     }
}

Answer 1

Every time you are pressing the sound button you are creating a new instance of SKAudioNode which probably causes the sound issues.

Take theses two lines

let playguitar: SKAudioNode
playguitar = SKAudioNode(fileNamed: "guitar.wav")   

out of

 func fireTurnsOnOff() {...

Than put

  let playguitar: SKAudioNode

above DidMoveToView as a class/global property and

  playguitar = SKAudioNode(fileNamed: "guitar.wav")  

inside didMoveToView.
