EXC_BAD_ACCESS code GPFLT or code 1

I'm building a game based off flappy bird, using the game template and swift. When I first created the game, everything ran fine, no bugs (so it seems), no crashes. But, when the bird hit a barrier, I wanted the bird to smoke on his way down. I figured out how to add a particle emitter, and get the bird to smoke when it hits a barrier, and follows the bird until it hits the ground. Everything works good, until I hit the "OK" button on the showing score screen... and then the app crashes and i get the EXC_BAD_ACCESS code GPFLT or code: 1. Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong?

If I do;

targetNode = player , the smoke follows the bird, but is aimed to the right, but game works like its supposed too.

targetNode = self , the smoke follows the bird, and is aimed up like its supposed too, but game crashes.
