List error c#

I am trying to load images in my resource folder so that I can cycle through them during run time to animate 2D characters. I am getting an error when I try to Add the textures into the array. I’m new to this List…normally I use arrays. Anyone see the mistake?

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class ImageAnimation : MonoBehaviour 
{
	
	public string fileName;
	public bool loop;
	
	private float pictureRateInSeconds = 0.04166666666666666666f;
	private List<Texture2D> imagePictures;
 	private int imageCounter;
 	
	void Start()
	{
		imagePictures = new List<Texture2D>();	
		
	}
	
	

	void InitializeImage(string fileName)
	{
		Object[] imageTextures; 
		imageTextures = Resources.LoadAll( "TestImages", typeof(Texture2D));
		for(var i = 0; i < imageTextures.Length; i++)
		{
			  imagePictures.Add(imageTextures *);*

It always helps if you list the exact error you’re getting along with the code.

In this case I can see that imageTextures is an Object array, whilst List obviously expects Texture2D types. I’m not sure exactly how Resources.LoadAll works (whether there is a generic version that will return Texture2D’s etc) but you can just cast the texture when you pull it from imageTextures:

imagePictures.Add((Texture2D)imageTextures*);*

Edit: if that’s not it, list the error you’re getting so we know what the actual problem is :slight_smile:
