Question by vladcodirla · Sep 04, 2017 at 11:00 PM · resources.loadstring formatting

Loading sets of images into arrays using Resources subfolders and string.Format

Hello,

Basically what I have working now is a set of images in the Resources folder, named "frame0001", "frame0002" and so on. This I can load into a Texture2D array with no problem using the syntax:

 for (int i = 0; i < numberOfFrames; ++i)            
         frames[i] = (Texture2D) Resources.Load(string.Format("frame{0:d4}", i + 1));

What I want to do, is to make a couple of subfolders in the Resources folder, say Panel_1 and Panel_2, put sets of images in each, and load them into the array selectively. I can't get the syntax to work however, needing to specify both a path and string.Format in the argument. I'm thinking something like this:

 if (panelWanted == "Panel_1")
             for (int i = 0; i < numberOfFrames; ++i)            
                 frames[i] = (Texture2D)Resources.Load("Panel_1" + string.Format("frame{0:d4}", i + 1));               
 else if (panelWanted == "Panel_2")
             for (int i = 0; i < numberOfFrames; ++i)
                 frames[i] = (Texture2D)Resources.Load("Panel_2" + string.Format("frame{0:d4}", i + 1));

I also tried using Resources.LoadAll in various shape and forms such as:

 frames = (Texture2D)Resources.LoadAll("Panel_2");

but I keep getting errors like:

Cannot convert type UnityEngine.Object[]' to UnityEngine.Texture2D'

I'm sure there's an easy solution but I just can't figure out the correct syntax. Any help is appreciated.

You should try using the generic version of the Resources.Load method, the one with the form Resources.Load(path). Ignore those quotation marks :P

Also I think you are missing a backslash "/" in your path. The backslash means you are accessing a subfolder in the resources folder. The path should be:

"Panel_1/" + string.Format(blabla, i + 1)

and the same for Panel_2
