Interact with NPC using Tag

Hi guys.

I have a NPC named "Douglas@Idle" which I have given the tag "NPC". I want in my script to check if the tag is present, then play audio.

When I enter "Douglas@Idle" collision zone the trigger is working, but I get "TAG=Undefined".

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class DouglasPoliceStation : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     // Variables
8.     private GameObject npc; // The None playable character
9.     private bool triggering; // check if the player is collider with NPC
10.  
11.     // Sounds
12.     public AudioSource npcLine1;
13.     public AudioSource playerAnswer1;
14.  
15.     public AudioSource npcLine2;
16.     public AudioSource playerAnswer2;
17.  
18.  
19.     private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
20.     {
21.         if(other.tag.Equals("NPC"))
22.         {
23.             // If the NPC has tag "NPC", then set the game object to triggeringNPC
24.             triggering = true;
25.             npc = other.gameObject;
26.  
27.             // Play "Hello" + answer
28.             npcLine1.Play();
29.             playerAnswer1.Play();
30.  
31.             // Play "Mission" + answer
32.             npcLine2.Play();
33.             playerAnswer2.Play();
34.         }
35.         else
36.         {
37.             print("TAG=" + other.tag);
38.         }
39.     }
40.     private void OnTriggerExit(Collider other)
41.     {
42.         // If the NPC has tag "NPC", then set the game object to null
43.         triggering = false;
44.         npc = null;
45.     }
46. }
47.  

 

DoulasPoliceStation.cs is on Douglas@Idle, but you're checking other.tag. That means you're checking the tag of the object that triggers Douglas@Idle, not Douglas@Idle. You should probably be checking the tag for "Player" instead, and remember to set that tag for the player object in the inspector.

 

Thanks, that worked.
