SKSpriteNode Stuck with init(edgeLoopFrom:) - SKPhysicsBody

Question

I have a separate class called "Floor" with below.

class Floor: SKNode {
    override init() {
        super.init()
        //let edgeFrame = CGRect(origin: CGPoint(x: 1,y: 1), size: CGSize(width: 1078, height: 1950))
        //self.physicsBody = SKPhysicsBody(edgeLoopFrom: edgeFrame)

        let borderBody = SKPhysicsBody(edgeLoopFrom: self.frame)
        borderBody.friction = 0
        self.physicsBody = borderBody

        // Apply a physics body to the node
       // self.physicsBody?.isDynamic = false

        // Set the bit mask properties
        self.physicsBody?.categoryBitMask = floorCategory
        self.physicsBody?.contactTestBitMask = nailDropCategory
        self.physicsBody?.collisionBitMask = balloonCategory
    }

    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemted")
    }
}

I basically have falling SKSpriteNode's that start at the top of the screen and goes to the bottom where it touches the "Floor" and removes itself then restarts from top again. Issue I'm having is all my SKSpriteNode keeps getting stuck on top and not falling through the border around the frame of the screen. How can I tell my application to ignore those specific nodes and let them in? Appreciate any help!

Here is the object that is moving left and right on the screen but it just falls off the side of the screen without the edgeLoop

if let accelerometerData = motionManager.accelerometerData {
            if UIDevice.current.orientation == UIDeviceOrientation.landscapeLeft {
                balloon.physicsBody?.velocity = CGVector(dx: accelerometerData.acceleration.x * -500.0, dy: 0)
            } else {
                balloon.physicsBody?.velocity = CGVector(dx: accelerometerData.acceleration.x * 500.0, dy: 0)
                }
            }
        }

Answer 1

What is happening is that your objects are hitting the top boundary of the edge loop and not being able to make it into the scene.

there is several ways you can do you this, if you absolutely needed the edge loop on the sides I would suggest elongating the loop to be higher than the scene and creating the objects inside the loop but above the visible area. However since you haven't given any indication that you actually need the loop on the sides all I would do is get rid of the edge loop detection.

create a box that is the width of the scene and say a 100px high then put a physics body on it of type floorCategory. then put this box 50 px below the bottom of the screen. Assuming that your floor sprite box has an anchorPoint of 0.5, 0.5 this will hide the box below the screen and the top of the box will sit flush with the bottom of the screen.

Now you will be able to detect when your objects hit the bottom of the screen and you will no longer have to worry about them passing through the edge loop at the top.

OR

an example of elongating the loop would be...

You create a rectangle taller than the screen (green border in the image) to apply the edge loop to, not to the screen size itself
