How to find a image of a certain name

Hi i am looking for a image in my scene so i can set that to a Image reference in my script, how would i do it i have tried this but it says can not convert Unity.Engine.Ui.Image to System.Collections.Generic.List<Unity.Engine.Ui.Image>

here is the code

Code (CSharp):

1. List<Image> images = new List<Image> ();
2.  
3. images = (Image) FindObjectOfType (typeof (Image));
4.         for (int i = 0; i < images.Count; i++) {
5.             if(images[i].name == "Resource_Counter"){
6.                 resourceCounter = images[i];
7.                 Debug.Log(resourceCounter);
8.                 images.Clear();
9.                 break;
10.             }
11.         }

 

You want FindObjectsOfType and you want an array, not a list.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. Image[] images = FindObjectsOfType(typeof(Image)) as Image[];
3.  

 

thanks, though a list would work the same but thanks

 

that code throws
Assets/Scripts/Gui Scripts/SpawnMiner.cs(15,77): error CS0039: Cannot convert type `UnityEngine.UI.Image' to `UnityEngine.UI.Image[]' via a built-in conversion
i tried typecasting it too

 

Did you add the S to FindObjectsByType()? Can you post the entire script?

 

i did it a different method so i no longer need it but thanks for the help
