bool Returns true if GameObject has same tag. Returns false otherwise.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        if (other.CompareTag("Player"))
        {
            Destroy(other.gameObject);

    }
}

Parameters

Returns

bool Returns true if GameObject has same tag. Returns false otherwise.

Description

Checks the GameObject's tag against the defined tag.

This overload of the method, which takes a TagHandle, can be faster than the overload which takes a string, particularly if the same TagHandle can be reused for many calls.

// Immediate death trigger.
// Destroys any colliders that enter the trigger, if they are tagged "Player".

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    private TagHandle _playerTag;
    public void OnEnable()
    {
        _playerTag = TagHandle.GetExistingTag("Player");
    }

    void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        if (other.CompareTag(_playerTag))
        {
            Destroy(other.gameObject);
        }
    }
}
