Unable to change Tag of Gameobject using Script
I have gone through all the existing answers for this, including the documentation, but I am still not able to change the tag of the gameobject during runtime. This is the code:
GameObject currTile; void Start () { currTile = gameObject.GetComponent(); currTile.tag = "Unpickable"; //I have also tried putting in gameObject.tag = "Unpickable"; }
Even after this, the tag remains unchanged. Please help me out with this,, thanks!
Is unity giving any exception? Unpickable Tag is present in your tag list? If don't please add Unpickable in your tag list then try your code.
I got the tags to work by removing the currTile variable itself, and by using gameObject directly. Do you have any idea why it was unable to create a reference to the gameObject?
Thanks for your help
the way of referencing gameObject was wrong. you are writing currTile = gameObject.GetComponent(); you cannot reference gameObject like this. you could write currTile = gameObject; or if you have to reference you could make gameObject public and drag n drop gameObject. But beside all this, if your script is attached on gameObject. You dont need to reference. Directly access gameObject using gameObject.
