ROBOT/PILOT TAG SYSTEM (not as in tag team but as in hashtag)

In SRW games, certain pilots might have abilities that are affected by a certain type of unit: For example, in SRW Z2 the character Setsuna F. Seiei has an ability where he will deal extra damage to Gundam-type enemies and to enemies that are "equipped with a Solar Furnace" in the story, despite Solar Furnaces not being a gameplay element otherwise.

This kind of system, I figure, is best done by allowing the user to place Tags on pilots and robots, which can then be used to interact with other systems.

For example, let's say we want Ryoma from Getter Robo to deal more damage on Mechasaurus-type enemies. We would need to create a "Mechasaurus" tag, add it to all the enemies of that type, and then give Ryoma a skill with the requirement of him being in a fight against an enemy with that tag.


The way I figure the process for this is basically as follows:

1. Make a pilot/unit
2. In that pilot/unit, access some kind of "tag editor", which would essentially just be a plain text editor
3. In that editor, add in tags in the format

tag 1,tag 2,tag 3,etc

With the comma acting to separate tags.

The tag system, like this, could be used in the following ways:


1. Skills, abilities and etc. that require interactions with a specific type of robot/pilot

2. For a revamp of the unit/pilot whitelist: Instead of having each robot list all the different pilots that can ride it, we can, for example, do something like
-Gundam has the "Mobile Suit" tag
-Amuro has the "Mobile Suit" tag under what robots he can pilot
-Maybe, if we have a way to change a pilot's tags, we could also allow for something like skills that, if learned, let a pilot use different types of units?
