How to assign an image to the Texture class in script
I have a variable of class Texture and I want to assign an image to it without using the Inspector. I want to assign the image to the class Texture in the actual script. I couldnt find the answer in the documentation. Anyone know how to do this?
Not sure of your question You can assign one texture to another:
Texture tex1;
Texture tex2;
tex1 = tex2;
But in order for this to be meaningful, you have to get the texture from somewhere:
Assign one of them in the inspector.
Load the texture from Resources()
Create the texture from scratch
$$anonymous$$odify an existing texture
...
What i want to do is assign an actual image file(image.png .jpg)to the Texture variable inside the script without using the inspector.
You have two choices. If the image file comes form Assets/Resources, you can use Resources.Load().
var tex : Texture = Resources.Load("ImageName") as Texture;
If the file comes from a directory on the machine, or if it comes from the net you can use the WWW class:
var url = "file://C:/someplace/ImageName.png";
var www : WWW = new WWW (url);
yield www;
var tex = www.texture;
Thanks! that's what I was looking for! works like a charm!
