I am using the userData of an SKSpriteNode to save custom data into it. I have initialized the userData with value through this line of code:
oscIcon.userData = NSMutableDictionary()
oscIcon.userData?.setValue("0.01",forKey: "rValue")
print("init value = \(oscIcon.userData!["rValue"])")
I then use this userData value in another function :
print("using value = \(oscIcon.userData!["rValue"])")
let tempValHold = oscIcon.userData!["rValue"] as! CGFloat
selectedNode.zRotation = tempValHold + (translation.y * 0.01)
However, I am getting a crash with error Fatal error: unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value
Printing the value in the first chunk of code returns
init value = Optional(0.01)
while printing the value from the second chunk returns this
using value = nil
I am not able to figure out why my saved userData just disappears.
Thanks in advance
