Use tags to assign a player to a team
The logic in the following example checks if the tag has a string rather than if it’s equal to a string to allow for more flexibility with the name of the tag. You can change this logic so that it checks for an exact match.
info
The following example uses the Contains
method, which is case-sensitive by default. You can make it case-insensitive by passing the System.StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase
method.
Automatically assign a Player to a team
The following script automatically sets a NetworkVariable called Team
based on the tag.
A Player with a Red
tag automatically sets the Team
NetworkVariable to Red
. A Player with a Blue
tag automatically sets the Team
NetworkVariable to Blue
.
using Unity.Netcode;
using UnityEngine;
using Unity.Multiplayer.Playmode;
public enum Team { Blue, Red, }
/// A player with a team that is automatically assigned
/// based on the tag of the client that owns them
public class Player : NetworkBehaviour
{
public NetworkVariable<Team> team = new (writePerm: NetworkVariableWritePermission.Owner);
void Start()
{
var localClientId = NetworkManager.Singleton.LocalClientId;
if (!team.CanClientWrite(localClientId))
{
return;
}
var mppmTag = CurrentPlayer.ReadOnlyTags();
if (mppmTag.Contains("Blue"))
{
team.Value = Team.Blue;
}
if (mppmTag.Contains("Red"))
{
team.Value = Team.Red;
}
}
}
