Private Texture array

Hi,

Does anyone know how to call textures into script through an array privately.

for example I have this.

private Texture[ ] numtex = new Texture[10];

void Start(){
numtex = Resource.LoadAll(“Sequence”) as Texture;
//I get an error, cannot convert type unityengine.Object[ ] to unityengine.Texture via reference conversion

// The next code snippet I have also done this and it works
numtex = Resources.FindObjectsOfTypeAll();
//but I have no idea where unity is drawing from since I am getting images ranging from the ones I want located in the Resource folder, to prefab screenshots to material screenshots so forth which are not.
}

also this second way scares me that it would be very processor intensive.

Any thoughts on how I could correctly call a series of textures into script privateley so I dont have to drag and drop through a public access modifer?

numTex = Resources.LoadAll<Texture>("Sequence");

Your code also would have worked, but you were trying to cast to Texture instead of Texture[ ]

you need to cast it as a texture, as “Resources.LoadAll” returns an array of Type “Object”.

To load privately you are pretty limited, resources, or getting a reference from elsewhere, can I ask why you want to load the same sequence at runtime each time?

Thanks for the quick reply’s!

Daniel thanks for helping me with that syntax. It works great.

Matt thanks for the insight. I am making an image sequence that is triggered based on an object vector coordinates. I just didn’t want to have to call a bunch of textures to save me some time. I am very new to unity so I hoped that answered your question.
