Sprite into texture alpha stretch problem

I’m making a Doom-styled game and I’m having trouble with the enemy sprites.

I’m using a panel to display the sprites and then I made this code to turn the sprite into a texture:

    //ignore the array of sprites, pretend there's only one sprite
     public Sprite[] spr;
        // Update is called once per frame
        void Start()
        {
            var texture = new Texture2D(2, 2, TextureFormat.ARGB32, false);
            // set the pixel values
            texture = spr[0].texture;
            // Apply all SetPixel calls
            texture.Apply();
    
            // connect texture to material of GameObject this script is attached to
            panel.GetComponent<Renderer>().material.mainTexture = texture;
        }

My solution so far has been to go into the settings of this new texture and changing from Opaque to Cutout. But how do I do that in the script?

I’m not sure what you mean by changing the texture from opaque to cutout - these settings are a part of the shader and so would be adjusted via the material (assuming you’re using the standard shader);

Material mat = panel.GetComponent<Renderer>().material;
mat.SetInt ("_Mode", 1);    // Rendering modes are [0-opaque, 1-cutout, 2-transparent]

Although I’m not sure why you can’t just create a material in Editor with the right settings and use that. As a side note, most of your texture code is unnecessary;

// Creating a new texture here does nothing as it is about to be overridden
var texture = new Texture2D(2, 2, TextureFormat.ARGB32, false);
// Override the texture with the sprite's one
texture = spr[0].texture;
// This also does nothing as the sprite's texture hasn't been changed
texture.Apply();
     
panel.GetComponent<Renderer>().material.mainTexture = texture;

Instead, you can just use the sprite texture directly;

mat.SetTexture ("_MainTex", spr[0].texture);
