New page

'''Tags''' are a way of referring to [[Actor|Actors]] while playing a deck. Tags consist of a word, such as '''#wall''' or '''#player''', which can then be referenced inside [[Rule|Rules]].

== Adding and removing tags ==
When editing a deck, you can add tags to a [[Blueprint]] by opening the [[Inspector]] and navigating to the '''General''' tab. Blueprints can have many tags. All actors created from this blueprint will begin with this set of tags.

While a deck is playing, you can use the '''Add tag''' and '''Remove tag''' [[Response|Responses]] to change tags on specific actors.

== Common uses for tags ==

=== Colliding with certain actors ===
The [[Trigger]] for '''When this collides with an actor''' has an optional '''tag''' parameter. For example, if you want to do something when the player hits a wall (but not any other time), you could change the trigger to '''When this collides with tag #wall'''. Now the trigger will only fire when the player hits actors tagged '''#wall'''.

=== Telling certain actors to do something ===
The '''Tell actors with tag''' [[Response]] causes only those actors to perform whatever logic you want. For example, to destroy all oxen in the card, you can say: '''Tell all actors with tag #ox: Destroy this actor'''.

=== Moving toward another actor ===
The '''Move toward another actor''' [[Response]] can be filtered by tag. For example, to make the enemies chase the player, you could say: '''Move toward the closest actor with tag #player'''.
