Close| tag | The tag to check for on the GameObject. |
bool
true if the GameObject has the given tag, false otherwise.
Checks if the specified tag is attached to the GameObject.
The example below calls CompareTag on a Collider to check if it has the Player tag.
// Immediate death trigger. // Destroys any colliders that enter the trigger, if they are tagged "Player". using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;
public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour { void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other) { if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("Player")) { Destroy(other.gameObject); } } }
Additional resources: GameObject.FindWithTag
| tag | A TagHandle representing the tag to check for on the GameObject. |
bool
true if the GameObject has the given tag, false otherwise.
Checks if the specified tag is attached to the GameObject.
This overload of the method, which takes a TagHandle, can be faster than the overload which takes a string, particularly if the same TagHandle can be reused for many calls.
The example below calls CompareTag with a TagHandle on a Collider to check if it has the Player tag:
// Immediate death trigger. // Destroys any colliders that enter the trigger, if they are tagged "Player". using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;
public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour { private TagHandle _playerTag; public void OnEnable() { _playerTag = TagHandle.GetExistingTag("Player"); }
void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other) { if (other.gameObject.CompareTag(_playerTag)) { Destroy(other.gameObject); } } }
