Is there way to retrieve the list of tags for an animation?

[gooser]

I see: CheckTags(), HasTag(), RemoveTag(), ToggleTag(), but no GetTags(), something like:

 

string[] GetTags()

 

??

 

Thanks Ashal!

I agree, a functionality like this would be great.

 

Returning them as a single string separated by ", " might be faster and more convenient, though.

Not one built in, as I don't see much use for such a function. Any tag that might be relevant to what your doing with the animation can be simply checked with HasTag(), the actual list of tags should be otherwise useless.
 
But if you really need a list of all the tags, getting them isn't really that hard with a small bit of scripting. Here's a simple way to get them all into a string array.

string[] function GetTags(sslBaseAnimation Animation)
	;// Get animations StorageUtil accessors
	quest Storage = Animation.Storage
	string TagsKey = Animation.Key("Tags")
	;// Get number of tags animation has
	int i = StorageUtil.StringListCount(Storage, TagsKey)
	;// Create empty tags array sized to the number of tags there are
	string[] tags = sslUtility.StringArray(i)
	;// Loop through tags in StorageUtil and set the Nth tags element
	while i
		i -= 1
		tags[i] = StorageUtil.StringListGet(Storage, TagsKey, i)
	endWhile
	;// Return tags array containing all the animation tags pulled out of StorageUtil
	return tags
endFunction

While I don't see much use for such a function; since I essentially just wrote it here, I'll go ahead and include it in SexLab 1.40.

I only need it to understand SL better. I'm writing a developer-only mod that essentially taps all of the key events in SL and writes to the papyrus log relevant info, actors, animation names, tags, etc. It's not essential, but thanks for working it out for me.
