Making any given instance of a CCNode reactive to touch

Question

So in my project I am using Cocos2D with CocosBuilder. I have assigned a few of my characters to be subclasses of CCNode with child CCSprites, etc.

I want these CCNodes to be reactive to touch - for example, if I touch any of them, they'd play a context sensitive animation. I only want to know how to make the node reactive to touch (or perhaps, having the layer reactive to touch which detects whether you've touched a sprite or not), the animation part is fine.

Any ideas? that would be lovely.

Turns out that this is fairly easy. In the header file of your class, you must define the class as implementing the protocol , like so:

@interface Foo : CCNode <CCTouchOneByOneDelegate>
{

}

and you must implement onEnter and onExit like this:

- (void)onEnter
{
    [[[CCDirector sharedDirector] touchDispatcher] addTargetedDelegate:self priority:0 swallowsTouches:YES];
    [super onEnter];
}
- (void)onExit
{
    [[[CCDirector sharedDirector] touchDispatcher] removeDelegate:self];
[super onExit];
}

and you must implement ccTouchBegan (if you're using the OneByOneDispatcher)
