Create a sprite from a class that inherits CCSprite - c++

Question

I have a Balloon class (see this) that inherits from CCSprite. I have given it properties like balloonSpeed and balloonStrength. I seem to be having problems in it, though.
What I want to do is that when I make an instance of the Balloon class, I want it to do the following:
Give it a texture (a PNG file of a balloon).
Set properties like balloonSpeed and balloonStrength.
Add actions to make it move and accept touch input.
When the object is touched, I want to:
Count if # of taps = balloonStrength. if so, destroy Balloon.
I have done a simpler version of this where a Balloon object is destroyed when it is touched. I want to apply OOP and custom classes here but I can't seem to get the right way of doing it.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

then the h file should looks like below:
#include "cocos2d.h"
using namespace cocos2d;
class Balloon : public cocos2d::CCSprite, public CCTargetedTouchDelegate {
public:
float balloonSpeed;
int balloonStrength;
int numberOfTaps;
virtual void onEnter();
virtual void onExit();
virtual bool ccTouchBegan(CCTouch* touch, CCEvent* event);
virtual void ccTouchMoved(CCTouch* touch, CCEvent* event);
virtual void ccTouchEnded(CCTouch* touch, CCEvent* event);
};
and in your touch method:
bool Balloon::ccTouchBegan(CCTouch* touch, CCEvent* event){
CCPoint touchLocation = this->getParent()->convertTouchToNodeSpace(touch);
if (CCRect::CCRectContainsPoint(this->boundingBox(), touchLocation)) {
this->numberOfTaps++;
if(this->balloonStrength == this->numberOfTaps){
this->removeFromParentAndCleanup(true);
}
}
return true;
}
you can use it after you add the blueBalloon as a child of a layer or node as below:
blueBalloon->balloonSpeed = 2.0f;
blueBalloon->numberOfTaps = 0;
blueBalloon->balloonStrength = 5;
