cocoa touch - Cancel ccTouch on State Change in Cocos2d-iPhone -

could please with issue having canceling touch event when character dies. have character controller (touch sprite , drag left/right move) based on screen x-axis. controller class subclass of ccnode , has required methods register touch touchdispatcher. cctouchbegin, cctouchmove & cctouchend works fine, while cctouchmove in action , character dies want reset controller, player position start location on screen not trigger until lift finger(thus cctouchend) triggers reset player/controller in gamelayer(cclayer) fires.

i thought adding cctouchcancel method trick not getting fired. each of touch event methods first checks controller's state (idle, active, stop) before doing actions. have update method handle dragging checks controller.state == active before allowing player drag/move character.

in gamelayer's update method when character dies, set controller.state = stop. in controller's update method stop state, call [[[ccdirector shareddirector] touchdispatcher] removedelegate: self]; same code in onexit method, touch event not canceling. touch event stopping if lift finger. state change made in gamelayer fires

please advise.

i figured out why character's controller not changing state stop when character dies. had implemented cctouchcancel method not getting triggered, touch event never cancelling until lifted finger off screen.

i had implemented update: (cctime)delta method, in checking active state , performing action. after commenting out update method, worked expected. there no need update method cctouchmove method handles continuous touched location detection long finger touching screen, no need run update method.
