# Gameplay Tag

#### GameplayTags are names used to classify and describe the state of an object.

They are useful for categorizing and identifying the properties or status of an entity (ASC).

For example, a character being "stunned" could be assigned a "State.Debuff.Stun" gameplay tag to represent its current condition. These tags can replace traditional boolean or enum-based handling and enable boolean logic to determine if objects possess specific tags.&#x20;

But they can also be used to represent other things unrelated to the ASC.&#x20;

Examples of gameplay tags include "Enemy.Boss", "Weapon.Ranged", "Environment.Underwater", and "Status.Poisoned".

#### GameplayTags are used to identify which [GameplayCues](https://feliperoddd.gitbook.io/gasify/gameplay-cue) will be triggered.

They are registed in the Cue Library to associate a gameplay tag with a prefab to be instantiated.
