How to detect double tap in spritekit

Question

I use this touch.tapCount in touchesBegan and try to print the value but it never return 2.

Any idea why? It can be 1,3,,5,7,9, .... but not 2,4,6,8,10, ...

override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {


    if let touch = touches.first {
        //print(touch.tapCount)
        if ((touch.tapCount) == 1) {
            player.animatedPlayer()
            jump = true
        }
    }

}

@BehrouzPooladrag Hi, system still can not detect the double tap. Is there any property need to be set-up for double tap? — vhao91, Mar 30 '19 at 09:08
check your touch.tapCount data if it increased, it would be ok, and you can run your function after that. — Behrouz Pooladrak, Mar 30 '19 at 09:51

You should use UITapGestureRecognizer to handle tapEvent. the numberOfTapsRequired property make this detect DoubleTap only

 override func viewDidLoad() {
     super.viewDidLoad()
     var tap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: 
     #selector(self.handleTapGesture(gesture:)))
     tap.numberOfTapsRequired = 2
     self.scene?.view?.addGestureRecognizer(tap)
 }

 @objc func handleTapGesture(gesture: UITapGestureRecognizer) -> Void {
    // do something here
 }

Hope helpfull!
