Make the colours transition to a different colour with a fade ?

Hi Shaun, glad you got it, (it's good to see people try to figure out issues them selves) did you just add the following code what was already there?

[UIView animateWithDuration:1.0 animations:^{

 UIColor *randomColor = [self.colorWheel.colors objectAtIndex:[Utility randomNumberBetween:0 max:self.colorWheel.numberOfColorsInArray]];


        self.view.backgroundColor = randomColor;


    self.funFactButton.tintColor = randomColor;

    }];

I was wondering if you could help me with a problem from one of my own projects i'm working on which is a game. When the player reaches a certain score, he/she will be awarded a medal. If the players reaches a score of 25 the first time round. Both medal animations play at the same time which is not what i want. I want the first medal animation to be played then wait until completion and then the second animation will be player after. Got any ideas ?

From the following code below i'm expecting... when the player reaches a highscore of 25 or over and if the second medal has NOT been used, it will play the firstmedal animation and then wait 10 seconds and follow it up with the secondmedal animation. But it doesn't and the waitForDuration method is defective. Both animation run at the same time??? confused! ?

 //SECOND MEDAL
    if ((_HighScore >= 25) && (self.usedSecondMedal == NO)) {


        //IF THE PREVIOUSE MEDALS HASN'T BEEN USED
        if (self.usedFirstMedal == NO) {


           // ADD THE FIRST MEDAL ANIMATION
            SKAction *firstMedal = [SKAction runBlock:^{
                [self addFirstMedal];
            }];

           //WAIT 10 SECONDS
            SKAction *wait = [SKAction waitForDuration:10.0];

            //ADD THE SECOND MEDAL ANIMATION
            SKAction *secondMedal = [SKAction runBlock:^{
                [self addSecondMedal];
            }];


            //SEQENCE TO ADD THE FIRST MEDAL, WAIT AND THEN ADD THE SECOND MEDL
            SKAction *seqence = [SKAction sequence:@[firstMedal, wait,secondMedal]];
            [self runAction:seqence];
        }



        //IF THE PREVRIOUS MEDAL HAS BEEN USED WHICH IN THIS CASE IS THE FIRSTMEDAL
        else {
            [self addSecondMedal];
        }

    }

Try re-writing it as:

//SECOND MEDAL
    if ((_HighScore >= 25) && (self.usedSecondMedal == nil)) {


        //IF THE PREVIOUSE MEDALS HASN'T BEEN USED
        if (self.usedFirstMedal == nil) {


           // ADD THE FIRST MEDAL ANIMATION
            SKAction *firstMedal = [SKAction runBlock:^{
                [self addFirstMedal];
            }];

           //WAIT 10 SECONDS
            SKAction *wait = [SKAction waitForDuration:10.0];

            //ADD THE SECOND MEDAL ANIMATION
            SKAction *secondMedal = [SKAction runBlock:^{
                [self addSecondMedal];
            }];


            //SEQENCE TO ADD THE FIRST MEDAL, WAIT AND THEN ADD THE SECOND MEDL
            SKAction *seqence = [SKAction sequence:@[firstMedal, wait,secondMedal]];
            [self runAction:seqence];
        }



        //IF THE PREVRIOUS MEDAL HAS BEEN USED WHICH IN THIS CASE IS THE FIRSTMEDAL
        else {
            [self addSecondMedal];
        }

    }

I'm not saying that it will fix it, but I've never seen a line written like yours. I'm also wondering if this line:

[self runAction:seqence];

Should be written as:

[self runAction:@"seqence"];

I don't know much about writing game apps so I based this off other things I know.

thanks but all doesn't work.. first error says "Comparison between pointer and integer ('int' and 'void')". And second error is saying incompatible pointer types sending 'NSString' to parameter of type 'SKAction'

Are those the errors that you got from my code? Because in the [self runAction:sequence] I did create an NSString. And what lines are the errors on?

yes and where is the string, i don't see any string in the code ?

If you changed:

[self runAction:seqence];

to:

[self runAction:@"seqence"];

you created a string out of "seqence". BTW, should"seqence" be spelled as "sequence"?

As I thought about your issue I got the idea that maybe you could have the first medal appear, set a timer for nothing to happen for 10 seconds with NSTimer and then have the second medal appear as addressed in this video.
