How can I call a method from another swift file in GameViewController?

I have a button that I have created in storyboard that lives on my game game screen. It has an IB action in GameViewController() as follows:

   @IBAction func buttonPressed(sender: AnyObject) {
        GameScene().myCustomMethod()
    }

In my GameScene lives myCustomMethod() which will spawn enemies, however the code above doesn't work properly. If I add a println("button was pressed") in the IBAction, I get that print out in the console but myCustomMethod won't execute and spawn the enemies as expected.

Can anyone help me or explain how to resolve my issue? Thanks

In your method, you create a new GameScene object each time. You should only create it once (at initialization), and then always call myCustomMethod on this object.

var gameScene: GameScene!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    gameScene = GameScene()
}

@IBAction func buttonPressed(sender: AnyObject) {
    gameScene.myCustomMethod()
}
