I would like to know how to set up Admob Interstitial ads when I present my GameOverScene. What should I do to show the ads only sometimes when the game gets over? And how do I implement this in Swift?
Im referring to this post How to call admob interstitial ad using swift, spritekit and xcode? but i'd like to know how to call the ads in between scenes.
EDIT Here is the code I used to present the ad
class GameViewController: UIViewController, GADInterstitialDelegate {
var interstitial = GADInterstitial()
var intersitialRecievedAd = false
let defaults = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
interstitial.delegate = self
self.interstitial = createAndLoadAd()
let timer = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(0.5, target: self, selector: "checkIfAdIsToBeDisplayed:", userInfo: nil, repeats: true)
//Scene implementation, boring stuff, got nothing to do with the ads...
...
}
func checkIfAdIsToBeDisplayed(timer:NSTimer) {
if defaults.boolForKey("adToBeShown") == true && intersitialRecievedAd == true {
showInterstitial()
defaults.setBool(false, forKey: "adToBeShown")
intersitialRecievedAd = false
} else {
}
}
func interstitialDidReceiveAd(ad: GADInterstitial!) {
intersitialRecievedAd = true
}
func createAndLoadAd() -> GADInterstitial {
var ad = GADInterstitial(adUnitID: "...")
ad.delegate = self
let request = GADRequest()
request.testDevices = ["..."]
ad.loadRequest(request)
return ad
}
func showInterstitial(){
if self.interstitial.isReady {
self.interstitial.presentFromRootViewController(self)
self.interstitial = createAndLoadAd()
}
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Release any cached data, images, etc that aren't in use.
}
override func prefersStatusBarHidden() -> Bool {
return true
}
}
This code uses a timer to constantly check whether the gameOverScene has been presented. When the gameOverScene IS presented, I assign true to the "adToBeShown" bool.
This is not the best method, so could anyone tell me how to directly call the ad when a scene is presented?
