Gameplay Tags for Game Creator 2

Gameplay Tags for Game Creator 2 gives Unity projects a centralized, searchable vocabulary for gameplay state, object identity, factions, damage types, quests, interactions, and other classifications.

Instead of scattering booleans and hand-typed strings across Actions, Conditions, prefabs, and scripts, define a tag once and reuse it throughout the project:

Character.State.Stunned
Damage.Type.Fire
Faction.Enemy
Quest.Main.Completed
Interaction.Usable.Door

When to use Gameplay Tags

Use tags for state, identity, category, or capability. Use variables or custom data for quantities, timers, object references, user-facing text, and values that require math, ranges, or sorting.

For example, Damage.Type.Fire describes what a damage event means; a numeric variable should store its damage amount.
