Question by tsikerdekis · Oct 15, 2015 at 06:12 PM · errormovietexturemovie

Cannot cast from source type to destination type for Movie Texture

I am getting this message for all my objects that run a specific script. Here is the script:

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class test : MonoBehaviour {
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start() {
         ((MovieTexture)GetComponent<Renderer>().material.mainTexture).Play();       
     }
     
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () {
         Renderer r = GetComponent<Renderer>();
         MovieTexture movie = (MovieTexture)r.material.mainTexture;
         if (!movie.isPlaying)
         {
             movie.Play();
         }
     }
 }

You need to add an extra pair of parenthesis so that it casts mainTexture and not Renderer:

 ((MovieTexture)(GetComponent<Renderer>().material.mainTexture)).Play();

For some reason I keep getting the same error message. The video is playing but the errors persist

Strange... So it compiles fine but shows the error at runtime? What kind of error - is it console log error/warning?
