Apple Game Frameworks and Technologies: Controller Reference Node (p. 182)

In the paragraph that begins “Switch to the GameScene.sks file” I am clearly doing something wrong. When I right-click on the controller node and choose Copy, all I am doing is copying the controller node name. When I right-click again, there is no Delete option (only Cut). If I choose Cut, it simply cuts the name from the node; it doesn’t delete the node. Then if I go to Controller.sks and right-click and choose Paste, it simply pastes in the controller name.
Please help. Thanks.

Hey, @rpitman.

Sorry for the incredibly long delay in getting back to you. I’m not sure if you figured out what happened yet, but in case you didn’t…

I suspect the issue here is that Xcode thinks you’re trying to edit the name of the object rather than the object itself.

In the following example, notice the object is highlighted, and the options I mention in the book are available:

image
image542×456 33.4 KB

However, in the next example, the object’s name is highlighted, so your options are different:

image
image716×668 60.3 KB

Hope that helps!
