Question

I’m subclassing a class.
I’m overriding a init method. This one: -(id)initWithSomething:(Something*)somet;

this would look like this (in the subclass)

-(id)initWithSomething:(Something *)somet with:(int)i{

    if (self = [super init]) {
     //do something   
    }

    return self;
}

But now I want to call the init in the superclass too.

How would I now do this? Mayby this way?

-(id)initWithSomething:(Something *)somet with:(int)i{

    if (self = [super init]) {

    }

    [super initWithSomething:somet];

    return self;
}

Typically like this:

-(id)initWithTarget:(CCNode *)someTarget
{
    self = [super initWithTarget:someTarget];
    if (self)
    {

    }
    return self;
}

It’s the responsibility of super to call the vanilla init selector if it needs to.
