How do you use tags?

[maddawik]

Let's say I am making a text-based adventure game, and I want to make use of tags for triggering different events in my game (effects on the screen, images changing, etc.). I'm having difficulty understanding what the intended flow is for checking tags. I find that when I try to use them, they are just text that is spit out as part of continue_story().

Is current_tags the way to check this?

inkgd/addons/inkgd/ink_player.gd

Line 218 in ff64af3

var current_tags: Array setget , get_current_tags

I know dynamic tags in ink 1.1.1 aren't currently supported, just asking about basic tag usage. Although it seems like the way tags currently are working for me seems buggish (I definitely could be using the class wrong), I thought it would be helpful to open a discussion for others to understand tag usage.

I figured out my issue, for anyone else that finds tags buggy and not working I will share my own problem.

InkPlayer.current_tags is the way to do this. I was using the latest version of Inky and Inklecate which use 1.1.1 of ink with the current version of inkgd which is not compatible and will actually break tags from working at all.
