Starter Tag Preset¶

A ready-to-use gameplay tag library for action RPG projects built on GAS. It covers 21 namespaces and roughly 135 tags -- ability types, AI behavior, combat results, damage classification, crowd control, equipment slots, input mapping, and more.

You can use the whole set as-is, cherry-pick the namespaces you need, or treat it as a starting point for your own tag architecture. Every tag includes a DevComment so the purpose is visible right inside the Unreal editor's tag picker.

Designed for the GAS Bible

These tags align with the patterns used throughout this guide -- the damage pipeline, buff/debuff system, common abilities, and the tag architecture page. If you're following along, this preset gives you a running start.

How to Use¶

There are two ways to get these tags into your project.

Option A: Copy the .ini files (recommended)¶

Each collapsible section below contains a complete .ini file ready to save. Copy the block and save it to your project's Config/Tags/ directory with the filename shown.

YourProject/
  Config/
    Tags/
      Tags_Ability.ini
      Tags_AI.ini
      Tags_Animation.ini
      ...
    DefaultGameplayTags.ini

Unreal reads all .ini files in Config/Tags/ automatically when ImportTagsFromConfig=True is set in your DefaultGameplayTags.ini. No code changes, no restarts -- just save the files and the tags appear in the editor.

Option B: Add tags manually¶

Open Project Settings > Gameplay Tags and add tags one by one. This works fine for small additions, but for 135+ tags the .ini route is significantly faster.

Before You Copy Everything¶

Don't blindly copy all 135 tags

Unused tags have near-zero runtime performance cost -- they're just entries in a hash table loaded once at startup. But having hundreds of irrelevant tags clutters the editor tag picker and makes it harder for designers to find what they need. Start with the namespaces relevant to your game and add others as needed.

You can filter tag dropdowns per-property using the Categories meta specifier:

// Only shows tags under Weapon.* in this dropdown
UPROPERTY(EditDefaultsOnly, meta=(Categories="Weapon"))
FGameplayTag WeaponTag;

Renaming tags is painful

Anything referencing the old tag name breaks silently -- no compile error, no warning, just things stop working. Effects won't match, abilities won't block, cues won't trigger. Get your naming right early. It's safe to remove unused tags (nothing references them), but renaming active tags requires finding and updating every reference.

Safe to start broad, prune later

If you're unsure whether you need a namespace, include it. Removing unused tags later is trivial -- just delete the lines from the .ini file. The risk of having too many tags is clutter, not performance. The risk of missing a namespace is having to retrofit it later when your project is larger.

Global Settings¶

Before adding tag files, make sure your DefaultGameplayTags.ini has ImportTagsFromConfig=True. This tells the engine to scan Config/Tags/ for additional tag files.

DefaultGameplayTags.ini

[/Script/GameplayTags.GameplayTagsSettings]
ImportTagsFromConfig=True
WarnOnInvalidTags=True
ClearInvalidTags=False
AllowEditorTagUnloading=True
AllowGameTagUnloading=False
FastReplication=False
bDynamicReplication=False
InvalidTagCharacters="\"',',"
NumBitsForContainerSize=6
NetIndexFirstBitSegment=16

Setting	What It Does
`ImportTagsFromConfig`	Enables loading tags from `.ini` files in `Config/Tags/`
`WarnOnInvalidTags`	Logs a warning when code references a tag that doesn't exist
`FastReplication`	Enables integer-indexed tag replication (enable once your tag set is stable)

Ability Tags¶

Types of abilities, delivery methods, and activation failure reasons. Used for ability classification, tag requirements, and UI feedback when activation fails.
