Tag

Tags are Strings that Resonite uses to label slots, Dynamic Variables (Triggers & Receivers), and other objects that require a tag.

How To Use

Tags can be used as a simple label, or it can be part of a complex system. Tags can also be swapped for other tags through ProtoFlux, especially when driving a receiver. Here are the following things that require tags:

• Slots have a tag field
• Dynamic Impulse Receiver node (including the Async variant)
• Dynamic Impulse Trigger node (including the Async variant)
• Find Child By Tag node
• Find Parent By Tag node
• Has Tag node
• Get Tag node
• Set Tag node

Rich Text Formatting

Rich Text Formatting (also known as RTF) tags are used to change how the text renders.

Haptics

There are tags for the Haptics system which allow for more control when using these devices. Here is a list relating to tags:

• TagHapticPointMapper component
• DirectTagHapticSource component

Tagging For Slots

Sometimes you need to mark a slot to have a certain effect to it, there are components that do that found in Transform -> Tagging within the component browser. Here is a list of them:

• AssetOptimizationBlock component
• DestroyBlock component
• DestroyRoot component
• DuplicateBlock component
• GrabbableReparentBlock component
• NoDestroyUndo component
• SearchBlock component
• TeleportBlock component
• TeleportPassthrough component
• TeleportSurface component

Similarly, there is the Assets -> Tagging category that contains the following components:

• HierarchyMaterialTarget component
• MaterialApplyPolicy component
• MaterialRelay component
• MeshRendererMaterialRelay component

Why Use Tags

(ToDo)

Unknown Tags

• ValueTag
• ReferenceTag

Currently the Delegate Tag Component will crash users in the world when there is an invalid input! DelegateTag With Invalid Type Makes World Unjoinable - Issue 919
