How to make an enemy change tags after death.

Question

Hi guys! My Unity3D Game is coming along nicely. Learning a bunch on the way! I was wondering is there anyway to make and enemy change its tag from "enemy" to "untagged" the enemy AI Script i have uses Health ofc is there a way to make it change tags if health reaches 0. The reason i want to ac$$anonymous$$eve t$$anonymous$$s is because the dead bodys are screwing my radar. If i could get any info on t$$anonymous$$s it would be muchly appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

Very straightforward:

 gameObject.tag = "";

T$$anonymous$$s will remove the tag from the gameObject. Just drop t$$anonymous$$s into your 'death' function.

See http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/GameObject-tag.html

After:

dead= Instantiate(deadReplacement2, GOPos.transform.position, GOPos.transform.rotation);

Insert:

dead.tag = 'newtag';

Tags must be declared in the tag manager before using them.

     ShotHead=true;
 }
 
 function ApplyDamage (damage : float) {
  if ($$anonymous$$tPoints &lt;= 0.0)
  return;
  // Apply damage
  $$anonymous$$tPoints -= damage;
  scoreManager.DrawCrosshair();
  // Are we dead?
  if (ShotHead==true) {$$anonymous$$tPoints=0.0;Replace();}
  else if (ShotHead==true &amp;&amp; $$anonymous$$tPoints &gt;= 0.0) {$$anonymous$$tPoints=0.0;Replace();}
  else if (ShotHead==false &amp;&amp; $$anonymous$$tPoints &lt;= 0.0)Replace(); 
 }
 
 function Replace() {
  // If we have a dead barrel then replace ourselves with it!
  if (deadReplacement &amp;&amp; ShotHead==true) {
  dead= Instantiate(deadReplacement2, GOPos.transform.position, GOPos.transform.rotation);
  scoreManager.addScore(20);
  // For better effect we assign the same velocity to the exploded barrel
  dead.rigidbody.velocity = rigidbody.velocity;
  dead.angularVelocity = rigidbody.angularVelocity;
  Destroy(gameObject);
     } 
     else {
     dead=Instantiate(deadReplacement, GOPos.transform.position, GOPos.transform.rotation);
  scoreManager.addScore(20);
  // For better effect we assign the same velocity to the exploded barrel
  dead.rigidbody.velocity = rigidbody.velocity;
  dead.angularVelocity = rigidbody.angularVelocity;
  Destroy(gameObject);
     }
  // Destroy ourselves
 
 }
 
 
 is my damage script. But i cannot seem to find where to place t$$anonymous$$s little code.
 
 gameObject.tag = &quot;&quot;;

This can be done to the deadReplacement, attach a script (or edit an existing one) to the replacement prefab, and place the code there in an Awake function. Or see my updated answer
