Tagging Objects Doesn't work :(

Development Programming & Scripting

Hi,

it might sound starnge but I can’t figure out how to tag objects properly. Here’s what I did:

  1. I created a Cube and set it’s tag to “Walkable” in the Details Tab

  1. I went to the level blueprint and created a reference to that cube in order to compare it’s tag to “Walkable”

  1. If I run the game, it obviously doesn’t recognize the Cube’s Tag

Do you have any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks and best regards,
Daniel

In your first image, you set a Component Tag. In your second image, you ask: Actor has tag? Actor and Component are not the same thing. You can A) Set an Actor Tag instead or B) Ask: Component has tag?

Thank you very much! That solved the problem! I’m having a Unity background and there you can only tag objects and not their components so I didn’t realize the difference between Component and Actor tags in UE4 :slight_smile:

Best regards!
