Find Child By Tag

Instance

Tag

SearchDepth

Slots

The Find Child By Tag node finds a child object below the instance (Slot) that matches the given Tag (String).

Using this node in a continuously evaluating chain will generate considerable frame lag, proportional to the number of children that have to be searched through. It is recommended to cache the result rather than searching every game tick.

Inputs

Instance (Slot)

The slot to scan for child slots from.

Tag (String)

The tag to look for below Instance (Slot).

SearchDepth (int)

How far to search for a child with a tag that matches the given Tag (String).

Examples: 0 > Search immediate children. 1 > Search children of slot including those slot's children. -1 > Search infinitely far down (HEAVY)

Outputs

* (Slot)

The result of the search.

Examples
