quick question I haven't been able to find a quick answer to:

if you add a scheduler to a node, do you have to add that node to a parent node for the scheduler to run? I'm trying to run a scheduler on a node without actually adding that node. Is this the expected behavior? Should I just use an NSTimer instead?

thanks,

yes. the node should be part of the hierarchy.

I don't recommend the use of NSTimer.
If you want to schedule a "tick" in a cocosNode or any other object I recommend using the Scheduler:
```
Timer *timer = [Timer timerWithTarget:self selector:@selector(bla:) interval:1.5f];
[[Scheduler sharedScheduler] scheduleTimer: timer];
```
