UnityException: Tag: is not defined

Question

I'm following the Unity Roll A Ball Tutorial but I'm having an issue picking up the spinning objects. Whenever I roll over them I get this error:

UnityException: Tag: PickUp is not defined. PlayerController.OnTriggerEnter (UnityEngine.Collider other) (at Assets/Scripts/PlayerController.cs:30)

I've made sure my tag PickUp is exactly the same as in the code, and still it doesn't work. I've been trying to fix this for a long some so any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

You have to add the tag(PickUp) from the Editor before you can reference it from script.
