Terrain Splat 0 is null

Unity Engine
1 
SplatPrototype[] terrainTexture = new SplatPrototype[1];
        terrainTexture[0] = new SplatPrototype(); 
        terrainTexture[0].texture = (Texture2D)Resources.Load("Assets/Standard Assets/Terrain Assets/Terrain Textures/Grass (Hill)");
        t.terrainData.splatPrototypes = terrainTexture;

The last line produces the error “Terrain Splat 0 is null”

What am I doing wrong?
I have tried different paths for the asset. Can’t figure it out, the path should be right.

Just guessing here, but maybe the spaces in the path could create a problem. Other than that, I know the “Standard Assets” folder is somewhat sealed and hard to reach from other folders and such. You might want to try placing it in another folder.

I got the error when I deleted the splat map from the terrain from the asset folder, not triggered by one of my scripts but by unity itself.

Thanks, I tried it but without luck. Any other ideas?

I found the error.
To load a resource at runtime, it seems it must be placed in a folder(or subfolder to) called “resources”.
I found this, and I now have GoodDirt.

arggggggg how stupid is that. Been trying to apply a texture to a terrain for over a week now.
Thanks for posting your solution.

The errors about terrain splats are because you have a terrain with empty texture references Select your terrain, and make sure all the entries defined in the “Paint” tab are assigned to valid textures.

And with an irrelevant answer too. It’s not quite a record, but it must be close.
