Abstract
A design platform facilitates development and management of interactions and events involving objects in a virtual environment, such as a gaming environment. Each object, or type of object, can have one or more tags applied. The tags are used to determine a rule to enforce when an event occurs with respect to an object, or the object interacts with another object in the environment. This can include, for example, determining an animation, sound, or action to trigger for the object. A set of rules can be defined, where each rule is associated with a set of tags. A custom expression can provide logic to be evaluated to determine which rule to apply for an interaction, where the script can specify certain tags, or groups or tags, that must be present, or not present, for the rule to apply. The tags for a given object can be updated dynamically during gameplay.
