Unity does not think my sprite is a sprite

So I am having this problem where it said my image is a sprite but when i try to put it in the image component it does not take it here is a image for the stuff you need to see and this is a 3d game

thats not a sprite thats a texture

a sprite is created from a texture

look for the sprite that is created by the texture on your asset hierarchy

it does not have one all i did was drag in a png then put it as sprite

btw i am still online so plz replay

Did you install the 2D Sprite package correctly using the Package Mangler?

If not, hurry to the documentation and get that in there.

no let me try that

nope that not the problem

You have it set for multiple above. Is this one sprite or many? If it’s one, set it to Single.

You should be working directly from the Unity Manual for importing this stuff as it comes with specific steps and screenshots.

Thanks so much that was the fix this took way took long

The solution to this is always to wiggle more wires and to wiggle them faster.

dupe the image
put another image in
find another sprite in your game, verify how it was done
make a new image
review the docs
look at another project you did
make a new project, try it afresh
bam bam bam bam
etc

Don’t stop… think of yourself like a hyperactive bloodhound that smells something delicious… dig in until you find the issue.
