Question by LMan · Jun 02, 2013 at 12:58 AM · tagstagginggroupscomparetag

Comparing Tag Groups

So I noticed that one can group tags in the tag/layer manager- ie. "Item/pickup" I was wondering if there was a way to check if an object is just in a specific group. Like in the Item/pickup example, I just want to know if the object is in the "Item" group. Thanks Much! -LMan

Hey,

Yes, its a simple if check:

 if (gameObject.tag == "pickup"){
     // Do stuff because I am a pickup
 }

Or if you have multiples tags you could check it using a switch:

 switch (gameObject.tag){
     case "pickup":
         // Do stuff here
         break;
     case "item":
         // etc
         break;
     case "player"
         // etc
         break;
     default:
         // this case must be included
         break;
 }
