iOS Pinch Zoom Start from Previous Scale

Question

I want to do a pinch/zoom having the zoom start at the current scale. I have tried the following code:

@objc func pinchedView(recognizer:UIPinchGestureRecognizer) {

    if (recognizer.state == .ended)  {
        lastScale = 1.0
        return
    }

    let scale = 1.0 - (lastScale - recognizer.scale)
    let zoomInAction = SKAction.scale(to: cameraNode.yScale + scale, duration: 0.25)
    lastScale = recognizer.scale
    cameraNode.run(zoomInAction)
}

The problem is that it keeps getting smaller and smaller no matter which way I pinch. How can I correct this?

Answer 1

I think you might instead want to initialize lastScale to 1.0 when your gesture begins.
