Is there any way to return a list of all existing tags so that one could declare a public variable that would show a popup list of all existing tags in the inspector for a script? Something like the way I can declare:
public var theMask : LayerMask;
but for tags?
There is GameObject.tag, so it depends on what you’re doing. To get all tags in the scene, you’d have to iterate through all objects and collect them as you go. I suppose you could iterate through LayerMask.LayerToName and dig them out of there, but it looks like it does not include the ‘canned’ tags like ‘MainCamera’
You can use EditorGUI.TagField for the editor, but I suppose you mean in-game. I do not know about that. A dirty way would be an object with an array woth all the tags, and you'd have to update it when you add a tag, but it kind of sucks ...
– BerengerI'm also looking for a solution for this. To be clear and if I understand the question correctly, this is not during run-time, it's for setting a value in the inspector before run-time. For example in my case, I want to make a trigger zone that triggers only if objects with a specific tag go through. Instead of writing the name of the tag in a public String variable, I want to select one of the available tags from a dropdown menu in the inspector. Is this possible? Thank you!
