InvalidCastException: Cannot cast from source type to destination type.
Hey developers! I get the error in the description (InvalidCastException: Cannot cast from source type to destination type.) while trying to run the following script
SNIP
case "Player1":
gameObject.guiTexture.enabled = true;
guiTexture.texture = player1; //Error here
break;
SNIP
Why?
Thanks! //Tommy
As a rule, try to always define your variables in a strict manner by stating its type...
var player1: GuiTexture;
That way the error messages will make more sense, and the code will be much less prone to mistakes and run-time errors. In fact, I would recommend adding
#pragma strict
to the start of your javascript files to force the compiler to complain about issued that usually it will "let slide".
What's wrong is that player1 doesn't contain information for a Texture type and/or has already been typed as something else. GUITexture.texture is expecting an object of type Texture and you are passing it a different type.
What is player1? It is obviously not a Texture. You will need to include more code than just this for anyone to conclusively tell you why it isn't a Texture.
@ start of script i have var player1 = guiTexture;, which i have later on selected a GUI texture for. Won't work?
Okay, so i added #pragma strict to the script, and i got this error instead:
BCE0022: Cannot convert 'UnityEngine.GUITexture' to 'UnityEngine.Texture'.
It dosn't make any more sence to me. If it can't convert it, how can i solve this?
$$anonymous$$y bad... var player1: Texture2D; or var player1: Texture;
I can't remember how javascript will handle it, so try both.
Legendary, it works fine. Still, i can only show i texture, i need it to be a GUI texture, since om using it as a popup menu for each character. Any ideas?
