Rechange gameObject Tag

This code already exists;

1) an Object reaches a Trigger
2) OntriggerEnter
2 a) a counter changes his state
2b) the gameObjects` tag changes because the object shall trigger the counter only once

Solutions (ideas)

I press a special key and the game.objects` tag will return to the original state.

I tried to use this function in void Update: but I do not know how to change the game Object again. In Void update the call "other.gameObject.tag ="specialtag" does not work.

Here the code:

Code (CSharp):

1. public class csFileName : Monobehavior {
2.  
3. void OnTriggerEnter (Collider other)
4. {
5. if (other.gameObject.tag == "Ball")
6. {
7. other.gameObject.tag = "ball_deactivated";
8. }
9.  
10. void update()
11. {
12. if (___SPECIAL_BUTTON_IS_PRESSED)
13. {
14.  
15. !!--> Here Solution: Change objects` tag to "Ball" again
16. }
17. }
18. }
19.  

Please show me how this could work.
I definitely need a player controlled version of tag changing. OnTriggerExit versions won´t help, because the ball may hit the object more than once. I want to avoid that the counter changes his state uncontrolled.

 

If you look it up in the Unity Script Reference you will find: "Tags must be declared in the tag manager before using them".
You can assign tags to objects if you have already declared them in the tag manager.
This will work if you've made a tag called "ball_deactivated" in the tag manager. The tag manager can be found by going to Edit -> Project Settings -> Tags

New
Tags were already defined in the tag manager.Thank you.

 

you have OntriggerEnter and not OnTriggerEnter, in the original posted code. If that helps

 

Please read the thread. It is about Problem solving and not such helpless hints like yours. Thank you.

 

As you put it so nicely i will keep my Helpless hints to myself. Good luck with your problem.

 

Sorry, I am done. I am writing on a huge project every day. So, I am little bit sensitive for hints like these.

 

I don't know if you solved it, but the snippet you shared solved my one specific problem. I'm starting on Unity and this is crutial for a proyect that I'm doing, thank you so much.
