Give tag to player

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi, the lost dev,

I am working on my own horror game. Everything is fine while doing it but there is a question that I wanna know how to do it. How do I give a tag to a player using CollectionService?

#2

What type of tag are you talking about, chat tag?

Hi YTDevlog,

So if you just want to get all of the players, you can just do

game.Players:GetPlayers()

But if you wanna tag someone you can just do

local CollectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")
CollectionService:AddTag(Player,"TagName")

Hope this helps!

Aright found this article too, may add on to your solution.

It like, you are giving a tag to a player using CollectionService

#6

I would just do
what @TechnologyUser would do

local CollectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")
CollectionService:AddTag(Player,"Player1")
#7

Where to put this script?Workspace?ServerScriptService?

Hi,

So you would put this in a script. I’m not quite sure what you’d be using this for.

I am making a piggy ai script:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local CollectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")

local events = ReplicatedStorage.Events
local attackEvent = events:WaitForChild("attackEvent")

local caty = script.Parent
local humanoid = caty.Humanoid

local attacking = false

local function attack(target, catyPart)
	if not attacking and humanoid.WalkSpeed > 0 then
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(target)
		attacking = true
		
		humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
		target.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
		
		-- caty.Head.Jumpscare:Play()
		
		attackEvent:FireClient(player, caty)
		
		local attackAnim = humanoid:LoadAnimation(humanoid.Attack)
		attackAnim:Play()
		attackAnim.Stopped:Wait()
		
		target.Humanoid.Health = 0
		
		humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
		attacking = false
	end
end

local function detect(part, catyPart)
	local character = part.Parent
	if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character) then
		if CollectionService:HasTag(character, "PLayer") and character.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
			attack(character, catyPart)
		end
	end
end

humanoid.Touched:Connect(detect)

Ohhh I see now, so when the round starts, you will need to get all of the players and assign them the “PLayer” tag so that the AI can locate them and chase after them.

So I would assume you’d want something like this

for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
CollectionService:AddTag(v,"PLayer")
end

This would give everyone the tag when you start a round. Then when the “piggy” kills someone, you’d have to set their tag to something else so that the AI wouldn’t like try to go to them in the lobby.
