RunAction,CCCallFuncN with multiple Variables - Cocos2D - xcode

Question

Is there any way you could send 2 parameters with RunAction?
You see im trying to move a sprite with a label on top, and I have made separate functions for each. Similar to this.
[sprite runAction:
[CCSequence actions:actionMove, actionMoveDone, nil]];
id actionMoveDone = [CCCallFuncN actionWithTarget:self
selector:#selector(spriteLabelMoveFinished:)];
Now, I've got 2 questions,
1-Is there any way to send 2 or more parameters????
2-I was wondering if there's any way to save some memory and do both with one action?
- (void) spriteMoveFinished:(id)sender
{
CCLOG(#"Sprite move finished");
Sprites *sprite = (Sprites *)sender;
[self animateSprite:sprite];
}
- (void) animateSprite:(Sprites *)zprite
{
CCLOG(#"We're animating sprite"):
Sprites *sprite = nil;
sprite = zprite;
int actualDuration = sprite.speed; //property of sprite
// Create the actions
id actionMove = [CCMoveBy actionWithDuration:actualDuration
position:ccpMult(ccpNormalize(ccpSub(_player.position,sprite.position)), 10)];
id actionMoveDone = [CCCallFuncN actionWithTarget:self
selector:#selector(spriteMoveFinished:)];
[sprite runAction:
[CCSequence actions:actionMove, actionMoveDone, nil]];
}
- (void) spriteLabelMoveFinished:(CCLabelTTF *)sender
{
[self animateSpriteLabel:sender];
}
-(void)animateEnemyHP:(CCLabelTTF *)zpriteLabel
{
CCLabelTTF *spriteLabel = nil;
spriteLabel = zpriteLabel;
int actualDuration = spriteSpeed; //another property
id actionMove = [CCMoveBy actionWithDuration:actualDuration
position:ccpMult(ccpNormalize(ccpSub(_player.position,spriteLabel.position)), 10)];
id actionMoveDone = [CCCallFuncN actionWithTarget:self
selector:#selector(spriteLabelMoveFinished:)];
[spriteLabel runAction:
[CCSequence actions:actionMove, actionMoveDone, nil]];
}
Now, this 4 functions are kind of obvious.
1-Move Sprite if sprite ended moving, we move it again.
2-Move Label towards the same position with the same speed, if the label finishes moving, we move it again.
They both go to the same place.
Is there a way to mix this 4 functions into 2?
If so, how can I send 2 parameters when the action finishes?
Thanks for your help and your time, have a great day!

Answer 1

To send more than one parameter, instead CCCallFunc you can use CCCallBlock and call a block of code. Inside the block, you can call your method (selector) with any parameters you want.
A simple example:
CCAction *actionMoveDone = [CCCallBlock actionWithBlock:^()
{
[self spriteMoveFinished:param1 withParam2:param2 andParam3:param3];
}];
And a better way is use "self" as block parameter, to prevent memory allocation:
CCAction *actionMoveDone = [CCCallBlockN actionWithBlock:^(CCNode *myNode)
{
[(MyClass*)myNode spriteMoveFinished:param1 withParam2:param2 andParam3:param3];
}];

Answer 2

try to simplify, that will undoubtedly save 'memory' ... I normally do this with a class that extends CCNode, for example my SoldierMapLayout class does. In the SoldierMapLayout node, i put in the soldier stance animation (idle, walking right-left-up-down), a health bar, an optional label, a 'HP hit' animation when appropriate, an 'XP gained' animation when appropriate, a 'poison cloud' over the head, etc... and i move the node when the whole thing needs to move. A single animation, with a single call back on move completion.
