Swift Spritekit - AdMob Banner on Game Over Scene Only

[Brett]

I programmatically created a game and added a banner to my GameViewController.swift.

It works great but it displays on every scene and I only wanted to display the banner in my MainMenu and GameOver scenes.

Would I be able to do that?

Code samples below:

GameViewController.swift

    var bannerView: GADBannerView!

 

     

    override func viewDidLoad() {

        super.viewDidLoad()

         

        if let view = self.view as! SKView? {

            let scene = MainMenuScene(size: CGSize(width: 1536, height: 2048))

             

            // Present the scene

            view.presentScene(scene)


 

            view.ignoresSiblingOrder = true

            view.showsFPS = false

            view.showsNodeCount = false

        }

         

        // In this case, we instantiate the banner with desired ad size.

        bannerView = GADBannerView(adSize: kGADAdSizeBanner)

         

        addBannerViewToView(bannerView)

         

        bannerView.adUnitID = "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/2934735716"

        bannerView.rootViewController = self

        bannerView.load(GADRequest())

    }

     

    func addBannerViewToView(_ bannerView: GADBannerView) {

        bannerView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false

        view.addSubview(bannerView)

        view.addConstraints(

            [NSLayoutConstraint(item: bannerView,

                                attribute: .bottom,

                                relatedBy: .equal,

                                toItem: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide,

                                attribute: .bottom,

                                multiplier: 1,

                                constant: 0),

             NSLayoutConstraint(item: bannerView,

                                attribute: .centerX,

                                relatedBy: .equal,

                                toItem: view,

                                attribute: .centerX,

                                multiplier: 1,

                                constant: 0)

            ])

    }

MainMenuScene.swift 

//when clicking start button to move to GameScene

//want to display banner here

                let sceneToMoveTo = GameScene(size: self.size)

                let myTransition = SKTransition.fade(withDuration: 0.5)

                self.view?.presentScene(sceneToMoveTo, transition: myTransition)

GameScene.swift

//then when the game is over this code will run to go to the GameOverScene

//do NOT want to display banner here

        let sceneToMoveTo = GameOverScene(size: self.size)

        sceneToMoveTo.scaleMode = self.scaleMode

        let myTransition = SKTransition.fade(withDuration: 0.5)

        self.view!.presentScene(sceneToMoveTo, transition: myTransition)

GameOverScene.swift

//want to display banner here

Hi Brett,

Thanks for reaching out to us. You simply would have to hide the BannerAdView when a new Scene is being presented and only show for the scenes you require. I would suggest that you have a manager class to handle this and determine when to show and when not to.

Thank you for your help. 

This is new to me and I was unable to find examples of a manager class. Would you please direct me towards a source where I can read on the subject and/or see examples of this functionality.

Would all of this be done within the GameViewController.swift? Or would I need to add code to the game scenes as well?

Hi Brett,

This is a pure implementation issue and you can handle it via the Game Scene by delegating to the rootVC, where the BannerAdView is residing, whether to show or hide it from the screen. We do not have a sample app for this. That said, we will not be able to provide any official support for third party frameworks. If you have any other concerns regarding the SpriteKit implementation, I'd suggest that you post your concern on StackOverflow.
