Hi, so im trying im making a GUI by hand (as in not using unity’s built in GUI system) and I’m changing the sprite renderer’s sprite on this empty object every time the player clicks something. I want to know if there’s a way to check for a gameobject’s sprite name? I want to check if the gameobject is using the sprite that I specifically write out I mean.

if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Z))
			{
				if (spikedskinZEquip == false)
				{
					TurnAllZSlotsOff();
					spikedskinZEquip = true;
					spikedskinXEquip = false;
					spikedskinCEquip = false;

					ZitemIcon.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().sprite 
						= Resources.Load("SpikySkin", typeof(Sprite)) as Sprite;

					////if(XitemIcon.renderer. == "SpikySkin")
					XitemIcon.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().sprite 
						= Resources.Load("", typeof(Sprite)) as Sprite;
					////if(CitemIcon.renderer.material.name == "SpikySkin")
					CitemIcon.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().sprite 
						= Resources.Load("", typeof(Sprite)) as Sprite;
				}
			}

You see those parts where I put “////” I want to try and check for the name of the sprite of these gameobjects, and if the name is the same, I want to change the attached sprite, as shown. Does anyone know to accomplish that…? I tried using renderer.name and material.name… but they aren’t it. The only other way I could think of accomplishing this is by using tags.

Make a texture variable and in that variable store the sprite you want to test against.

Then compare the sprite in the variable with the sprite of any other gameobject. If they are the same, do something.
