Question check if raycast hitted object is a certain tag and then do something

Hi
i have this script

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class DragRigidbody : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public float forceAmount = 500;
8.  
9.     Rigidbody selectedRigidbody;
10.     Camera targetCamera;
11.     Vector3 originalScreenTargetPosition;
12.     Vector3 originalRigidbodyPos;
13.     float selectionDistance;
14.  
15.     // Start is called before the first frame update
16.     void Start()
17.     {
18.         targetCamera = GetComponent<Camera>();
19.     }
20.  
21.     void Update()
22.     {
23.         if (!targetCamera)
24.             return;
25.  
26.         if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
27.         {
28.             //Check if we are hovering over Rigidbody, if so, select it
29.             selectedRigidbody = GetRigidbodyFromMouseClick();
30.         }
31.         if (Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0) && selectedRigidbody)
32.         {
33.             //Release selected Rigidbody if there any
34.             selectedRigidbody = null;
35.         }
36.     }
37.  
38.     void FixedUpdate()
39.     {
40.         if (selectedRigidbody)
41.         {
42.             Vector3 mousePositionOffset = targetCamera.ScreenToWorldPoint(new Vector3(Input.mousePosition.x, Input.mousePosition.y, selectionDistance)) - originalScreenTargetPosition;
43.             selectedRigidbody.velocity = (originalRigidbodyPos + mousePositionOffset - selectedRigidbody.transform.position) * forceAmount * Time.deltaTime;
44.         }
45.     }
46.  
47.     Rigidbody GetRigidbodyFromMouseClick()
48.     {
49.         RaycastHit hitInfo = new RaycastHit();
50.         Ray ray = targetCamera.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
51.         bool hit = Physics.Raycast(ray, out hitInfo, 10.0f);
52.         if (hit)
53.         {
54.             if (hitInfo.collider.gameObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody>())
55.             {
56.                 selectionDistance = Vector3.Distance(ray.origin, hitInfo.point);
57.                 originalScreenTargetPosition = targetCamera.ScreenToWorldPoint(new Vector3(Input.mousePosition.x, Input.mousePosition.y, selectionDistance));
58.                 originalRigidbodyPos = hitInfo.collider.transform.position;
59.                 return hitInfo.collider.gameObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
60.             }
61.         }
62.  
63.         return null;
64.     }
65. }
66.  

and on row 52 it says if (hit)
could i somehow change it so if it hits an gameobject with a certain tag it would do something

 

Code (csharp):

1. if (hit && hitInfo.collider.gameObject.tag == "my_tag")

should do the trick. You can check any number of other conditions as well.

This is very similar to the check on line 54 where you make sure that the object has a RigidBody.

 

Yes but "CompareTag" seems like a more Unity way of doing things. Thanks!

 

Thank u both so much <3
