Changing Tags during run time

does anyone know how to set the 'code' to change a tag during run time? for example right now it has "TagA" and when it hit a trigger, It is given a new tag for example "TagB" while the game is still running.

    As in collision/actor tags or just a name that is displayed?

    I still don't really understand, but this is what I think you mean...

    In the actor that you want the tags, create a new Text attribute called 'Tag'. Have the attribute set to 'Tag1'. When it collides with another actor/you tap it/however you want to change the tag, just add a rule saying if self.Tag IS Tag1 then change attribute self.Tag to Tag2.

    Is this what you mean?

    change attribute -> self.tags to "whatever" should work.

    I just did it in my game for an actor, when the player actor collided with another actor, I changed the other actors tag to 0, then reset it next level. Good way to get around destroying and respawning actors if you don't want to reload levels.
