What is missing!??!?

am programming a game on unity "Frogs'n'Logs". MVS (Microsoft Visual Studio) came up with the error:

Severity    Code    Description Project File    Line    Suppression State
Error       UnityException: Tag: player is not defined. Solution 'Frogs and Logs' ‎(3 projects)   Assets/Scripts/FlyPickup.cs 9

My code:

using UnityEngine;

public class FlyPickup : MonoBehaviour
{

    void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        // if the collider "Other" is tagged with player...
        if (other.CompareTag("player"))
        {
            Destroy(gameObject);
        }
    }
}   

Thank you!

Did you intend to put this question in the "Game Development" category? You can still change it by clicking on the box with the three dots and chosing "edit question".

I agree with Steven Parker. While the code inside the Game Development track is done in C#, this particular question references material specifically associated with the Game Development track. As such, I'm going to move your question over to the correct category, which will hopefully facilitate in getting a speedier answer! :sparkles:

Hi there, Angus Eliott! I believe you have simply made a typo. It's saying that the "player" tag is undefined, because it is undefined. There is, however, a "Player" tag. Remember, capitalization matters. Just about everything is case-sensitive. Try correcting the lower case p to an upper case P and see if it works!

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
