Hi everyone, I’m trying to make an if statement that checks if a gameobject’s doesn’t equal a specific tag.But the if statement isn’t working and the code is executed.Any idea what is wrong?

public bool somebool = false;
void Update(){
RaycastHit hit;

if(Physics.SphereCast(gameobject.transform.position, 1f, gameObject.transform.forward, out hit, 50)){
if(gameObject.tag != "SomeTag"){
somebool = true;
     }
  }
}

I think what you want is this:

public bool somebool = false;
void Update(){
RaycastHit hit;
 
if(Physics.SphereCast(gameobject.transform.position, 1f, gameObject.transform.forward, out hit, 50)){
if(hit.collider.tag != "SomeTag"){
somebool = true;
     }
  }
}

You should try using gameObject.CompareTag().

    public bool somebool = false;
    void Update(){
    RaycastHit hit;
     
    if(Physics.SphereCast(gameobject.transform.position, 1f, gameObject.transform.forward, out hit, 50)){
    if(!gameobject.CompareTag("SomeTag")){
    somebool = true;
    }
    }
    }

I hear it’s faster than the other way as well.
