How do i fix this error? Cannot implicitly convert type `Sprite' to `UnityEngine.Sprite'

Question

Hi im making my first 2d platformer following a tutorial. i made a healthUI using similar heart system to Zelda hearts.

I finished my script for both player and the health HUD and im getting this error:

Assets/Scripts/HUD.cs(21,25): error CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type Sprite' to UnityEngine.Sprite'

this is my code:

using UnityEngine; using System.Collections; using UnityEngine.UI;

public class HUD : MonoBehaviour { public Sprite[] HeartSprites;

public Image HeartUI;

public GameObject player;

void Start() { player.GetComponent(); }

void Update() { HeartUI.sprite = HeartSprites [player.GetComponent ().curHealth]; }

}

@Maltrane You somehow have two classes named Sprite, and the compiler is getting confused with which is which.

You could be more specific, by replacing:

 public Sprite[] HeartSprites;

with

 public UnityEngine.Sprite[] HeartSprites;
