Array of tags, gettings tags using CompareTag

Question

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out a way to use:

 public string tags[];

Then implement the tags in:

 hit.collider.CompareTag()

Instead of doing:

 if(hit.collider.CompareTag("Tree") || hit.collider.CompareTag("Logs") || hit.collider.CompareTag("Animal"))

However I can't find a way to put the tags in CompareTag that work, what would be the best way of doing this or going around this? Thank you! :)

Something like this maybe. Method takes your hit, then compares it in a loop. and to be even more awesome, just make it an extension method for colliders.

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class CompareTag : MonoBehaviour
 {
     [SerializeField] string[] tags;
 
 
     // Returns true if hit has the tag
     private bool CheckTag(RaycastHit hit)
     {
         Collider coll = hit.collider;
         for (int i = 0; i < tags.Length; i++)
         {
             if (coll.CompareTag(tags[i]))
             {
                 return true;
             }
         }
 
         return false;
     }
 }
