You are comparing an `SKTexture` to a `NSString`. – Sam Fischer Mar 23 '15 at 13:21 — Sam Fischer, Mar 23 '15 at 13:21

For this you would be better testing to see if your texture is equal to another texture, not a string. The test you might want to try is,

if([red.texture isEqual:[SKTexture textureWithImageNamed:@"GoldDot.png"]]){
     NSLog(@"gold!!!");
else{
}

Then simply give the name of the texture you are looking for.

This probably wouldnt work. A separate texture instance, even though derived fromt the same image will not return equal using that method. – ZeMoon Mar 23 '15 at 13:21

To compare SKTextures, have a look at this answer.

A cleaner alternative would be to set the name of the SKSpriteNode as the image you are setting.

NSString *textureName = @"GoldDot";
SKSpriteNode *node =[SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithImageNamed: textureName];
node.name = textureName;

Afterwards, just compare the name

if ([red.name isEqual:@"GoldDot"]) {
   NSLog(@"gold!!!!");
}
