What Are Outfit Tag Chips?
Outfit Tag chips let you detect when a player is wearing a specific RRO avatar item using tags. This is super useful for triggering special events in your Room! For example, if a player enters wearing an item with a specific tag, you could let them unlock a hidden door, trigger a particle effect, or get access to a special area!
Rec Room devs have used these chips for a ton of projects to open or show doors, and have reactive interactions within those environments. Here’s a few examples:

We see a lot of potential for creativity using these chips so we decided to roll out the feature to the entire creator community! Use the Outfit Tag chips to give players access to unlock doors, trigger effects, or display hidden features in your room. You can even try combining these with particle effects, audio clips, or animated elements to give your rooms a twist!
How Outfit Tag Chips Work
There are two components to the Outfit Tag chips:
- Player Outfit Slot Flag Constant: This is the chip which allows you to select which avatar outfit slot to check.
- Player Get Equipped Avatar Item Tags: Reads the tag based on the outfit slot flag chosen.
Using the Tag List, you can determine if a player is wearing an item with a special tag and set up actions.
This example will check the outfit slot to see if the avatar item here is tagged as an “Elseware” item
