Tags Metadata

A simple config system which stores metadata for tags inside collections.

O_TagMetadataCollection: This is the class that hosts a collection of metadata

Example:

To have the system pick up your collection, go into Project Settings -> Plugins -> TagMetadata Settings and add your collection to the array.

O_TagMetadata: The object that is added to the tags Metadata array to grant the tag whatever data you want to add.

Example:

The system comes with three functions to retrieve the metadata:

Example to retrieve the metadata:

Notes

• All of the collections are hard referenced by the config, meaning they are loaded at all times. Be very mindful of what assets you are referencing and always use a soft reference.

• This system is meant for fixed variables, modifying any variables on the metadata objects during runtime is not recommended.

Base Classes

• O_TagMetadata - The metadata object that will host your custom data.

• O_TagMetadataCollection - The collection that hosts the metadata objects and associates them with a tag.
