Tag & Layer

7 min

You can use the Tag and Layer functions from Unity for developing a World.

Tag

You can use the Tag function the same way you used it in Unity.

❗️ Caution You can use up to 64 Tags.

Below is an example code for setting a tag for a ZEPETO character.

import { ZepetoScriptBehaviour } from 'ZEPETO.Script';
import { ZepetoCharacter, ZepetoPlayer, ZepetoPlayers } from 'ZEPETO.Character.Controller';

export default class PlayerTag extends ZepetoScriptBehaviour
{
    private zepetoCharacter :ZepetoCharacter;
    
    Start() 
    {
        ZepetoPlayers.instance.OnAddedLocalPlayer.AddListener(() => {
            this.zepetoCharacter = ZepetoPlayers.instance.LocalPlayer.zepetoPlayer.character;
            // Set Player Tag
            this.zepetoCharacter.gameObject.tag = "Player";
        });
    }
}

Below is an example code for using the Tag function.

import { ZepetoScriptBehaviour } from 'ZEPETO.Script';
import { GameObject } from 'UnityEngine';

export default class TagExample extends ZepetoScriptBehaviour {

    Start() {
        let findObj = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("customTag");
        if (findObj != null) {
            console.log(`name : ${findObj.name}`);
        }
    }
}

Layer

You can use the Layer function the same way you used it in Unity.

❗️ Caution You can use Layers number 20 to 27.

The following is an example code to set a layer for the ZEPETO character.

import { ZepetoScriptBehaviour } from 'ZEPETO.Script';
import { ZepetoCharacter, ZepetoPlayer, ZepetoPlayers } from 'ZEPETO.Character.Controller';

export default class PlayerLayer extends ZepetoScriptBehaviour
{
    private zepetoCharacter :ZepetoCharacter;

    Start()
    {
        ZepetoPlayers.instance.OnAddedLocalPlayer.AddListener(() => {
            this.zepetoCharacter = ZepetoPlayers.instance.LocalPlayer.zepetoPlayer.character;
            // Set Player Layer
            this.zepetoCharacter.gameObject.layer = 20;
        });
    }
}

The following is an example code for using the Layer function.

import { ZepetoScriptBehaviour } from 'ZEPETO.Script';
import { Camera, Input, Physics, RaycastHit } from 'UnityEngine';

export default class LayerExample extends ZepetoScriptBehaviour {

    Update() {
        if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)) {
            let ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
            let ref = $ref<RaycastHit>();

            let layerMask = 1 << 20;

            if (Physics.Raycast(ray, ref, 100, layerMask)) {
                let hitInfo = $unref(ref);
                console.log(`name : ${hitInfo.collider.gameObject.name}`);
            }
        }
    }
}
