Multiple touch enabled CCLayers, top layer not consuming touches

Question

I have 2 CCLayers stacked on top of each other; both are touch enabled. I want the top CCLayer to respond to and consume touches and the bottom layer to not react to the touches that the top layer consumes.

The top layer has a CCTouchBegan method that looks like this:

- (BOOL) ccTouchBegan:(UITouch *)touch withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
    NSLog(@"touched!");

    CGPoint location = [touch locationInView:[touch view]];
    location = [[CCDirector sharedDirector] convertToGL:location];

    //DO STUFF WITH TOUCH

    return YES;
}

The bottom layer has a CCTouchesEnded method that looks like this:

- (void) ccTouchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
    //choose one of the touches to work with
    UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
    CGPoint location = [touch locationInView:[touch view]];
    location = [[CCDirector sharedDirector] convertToGL:location];

    //DO STUFF WITH THE TOUCH
}

The result is that the top layer does not consume the touches or even respond to them at all. Only the bottom layer responds to the touches.

We need more information than this to answer your question. What are these layers containing? How are they being set up? Where are they being added to the screen? — Alexis King, Jul 13 '12 at 19:51
if you use ccTouchBegan then you have to use ccTouchEnded (not ccTouchesEnded) — CodeSmile, Jul 13 '12 at 22:10
@jonathanlking Yes it does very much. This is the source of my problem. — TheDanman, Jul 13 '12 at 22:14

in your first layer you use method from CCTargetedTouchDelegate. CCLayer register self as CCStandardTouchDelegate. That's why your second layer responds to the touches.

Is there any way I can register the top CCLayer as a CCTargetedTouchDelegate? – TheDanman Jul 13 '12 at 22:13
