Custom BOOL getter/setter in Objective-C

In my iPhone app I have a BOOL named isAddressCell. This works fine, and I can call this without an issue:

[cell setIsAddressCell:YES];

However, I have looked around at creating a custom setter method and had no luck creating one and it appears my BOOL is never actually set. I have below the setter method code I have tried which fails.

All I want to do it when setIsAddressCell is called, depending on the value, certain other actions will occur.

Current, non-functional setter method:

@property (nonatomic, assign, setter = setIsAddressCell:) BOOL isAddressCell;

-(void)setIsAddressCell:(BOOL)addressCell
{
    if (addressCell)
    {
        //Do stuff...
    }
    else
    {
        //Do different stuff...
    }
}

I was being a dummy. Tell if I am still doing it wrong, but I should have it like this:

-(void)setIsAddressCell:(BOOL)addressCell
{
    if (addressCell)
    {
        //Do stuff...
    }
    else
    {
        //Do different stuff...
    }

    isAddressCell = addressCell;
}

isAddressCell = addressCell;

That bit is the key, I stupidly didn't set the value at the end of my manual setter method. Doh.
