Section titled “@tag”

@tag <tag>
@tag/list [<pattern>]
@tag/add <tag>=<object>
@tag/remove <tag>
@ltag with the same switches

A tag is a name for an object. Softcode written #<tag> or tagref() finds the object on any game, where a dbref differs from game to game. @tag keeps the world’s tags and needs the config.admin permission. @ltag keeps your own, which only you (and your objects) can use, on objects you control.

With no switch, the command shows the dbref <tag> names, or #-1. /list lists the tags whose names match the wildcard <pattern>. A tag name is up to 32 letters, digits, _ or -, not only digits; case does not matter.

A world’s tag wins over your own of the same name. An object takes at most 16 tags, and your own only while it has fewer than 5. A tag names its object for that object’s lifetime: once the object is destroyed, the tag names nothing.

> @tag/add weather=#42
Tag weather added for #42:1793154718015.
> @trigger #weather/update

Output: #weather is #42, so the second line triggers #42/UPDATE.
