Create a new Tag

Introduction

All tags are stored inside a script named GamePlayTag, you may edit it on your own need. It is a huge Enum. Every Tag is represented by a name and a unique number.

The number of each tag should be unique to avoid unexpected behaviors.

Tags are toggled on the Action State component.

For a non-script view, you can find a scriptable object named GamePlayTagHelper in the same folder. Click on the helper and you can find all the tags listed in the Inspector.

Instructions

Step1: Add a new tag in GamePlayTag

• Open GamePlayTag in script view.

• Add a new tag with a unique number to the GamePlayTag enum.

Example: add chain5 as a new tag

There is no special constrain to the number except uniqueness.

However, in order to better manage the folder hierarchy, we suggest that numbers of the same group of tags should be close to each other.

• Back to Unity Project, click on GamePlayTagHelper .

• In Inspector, right click on the helper and choose Refresh to update it.

Right click to Refresh

• After refreshing, the new tag should be listed in Folders/Other.
