Schedule a Selector With Arguments?

Hi guys,

I need to perform a selector after a certain amount of time. At first I figured I could just schedule a method with the Cocos2d director then unschedule it right after it runs the firs time, but I don't think I can pass arguments (2 arguments) to it right?

I suppose I could use a couple of Cocos2d actions (DelayTime + CallFuncND) and store my objects in an array which I would pass through CallFuncND, but that seems pretty bloated.

Something similar (in a non Cocos2d fashion) would be:

[self performSelector:NSSelectorFromString(abilitySelector) withObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:unitMatch] afterDelay:3.0f];

Any tips would be appreciated!

You can't schedule a selector with additional arguments without changing cocos2d.

Read all of this post. There are a few solutions in it.

By the way, the action sequence approach above is fine. It all runs in the Scheduler so it's efficient.
