I heard that FindGameObjectWithTag is faster than GameObject.Find. But why?
Although they both are strings, why are there performance differences in them?
Does tag work differently than name?
I want to know why FindGameObjectWithTag is faster than GameObject.Find.
Hi @mon10lur49
Because not all gameobjects have a tag by default(they have Untagged as their tag)
therefore:
number of gameobjects with tag <= number of gameobjects
so it’s faster
As far as I know, tag is not a string, really. That’s why there’s GameObject.CompareTag method. Tag is internally converted from string to some simple value
