How to check if a specific SKAction with key is running

I have an SKAction that is triggered running withKey:"running". I also have other actions with keys. In my case I would find it handy, if I could check if eg SKAction with the key "running" is currently running or not.

Something like:

if (mySpriteNode.runsAction("running")) {
    // do some magic code
}

For now I just found that I can look if there are actions in general applied to a node, like

mySpriteNode.hasActions

Does someone have an idea?

if myspritenode.action(forkey: "some key") != nil {
 //runs if action is active
}

This solution worked for me.

I found this method. It might be what you need:

func action(forKey key: String) -> SKAction?

If an action exists that matches the key, the action object is returned. Otherwise, nil is returned.

You can use it like so:

if let _ = mySpriteNode.action(forKey: "someKey") {
    // action is running
} else {
    // action is not running
}
