Cannot implicitly convert type 'UnityEngine.Texture2D' to 'UnityEngine.Sprite'

Hello, i have an issue with changing image of button via script.
When i write buttonImage.image=newImage i get error mentioned in the title of this thread.

New image is a texture2D, it must be changed to sprite but i dont know how to do that. Please help me

 

Convert your texture asset to sprite.

 

Changed it to sprite , but still im getting that error

 

Can you show me the code where this happens? Maybe i can help you better than.

 

Are you sure? You set it to Sprite in the import settings of the texture.

 

You would have to Create your sprite from the texture

you can use the static Sprite.Create Method for this

 

In script
public Texture2D itemIcon;

later this itemIcon = Resources.Load<Texture2D>("Item Icons/"+name);



And in other script im using GUI.DrawTexture thats why i cant change itemIcon to sprite because id be getting error in DrawTexture function. I must change itemIcon to sprite somehow

 

so why not just change it than?

as BoredMormon stated you would have to change it in the import settings.

other than that i can't see the problem with Resources.Load<Sprite>("Item Icons/"+name);

 

Because if i change it to Resources.Load<Sprite>("Item Icons/"+name); i will get tons of errors in code where i do GUI.DrawTexture

 

try use the public Texture2D ThisTexture; and drag the texture from your assets in the inspector instead.
