Question

I’ve recently decided to subclass my sprite, but I am a bit clueless on how to add them to a scene. At the moment, I have created my CCSprite subclass, using New File>Cocos2d>CCNode>Subclass of… CCSprite. Then, I have made my sprite in the Sprite.h file:

@interface Mos : CCSprite {
    CCSprite *mos;
}

Once this is done, in the Sprite.m I code this:

@implementation Mos

-(id) init
{
    if( (self=[super init])) {

        mos = [CCSprite spriteWithFile:@"sprite_mos.png"];

    }
    return self;
}

What I want to know is how to then add this sprite into my game’s scene.

Here is how to correctly subclass CCSprite as the documentation says:

@interface Mos : CCSprite {
    // remove the line CCSprite *mos;
}

@implementation Mos

// You probably don't need to override this method if you will not add other code inside of it
-(id) initWithTexture:(CCTexture2D*)texture rect:(CGRect)rect
{
   if( (self=[super initWithTexture:texture rect:rect]))
   {

   }
   return self;
}

+ (id)sprite
{
    return [Mos spriteWithFile:@"sprite_mos.png"];
}

@end

Then in your code, you can use Mos normally:

Mos *mos = [Mos sprite];
[scene addChild:mos];
