how to show sprites images in unity

I am creating a card game (52).I have a single sprite in my Unity and Its having all playing card in a single image and I adjusted through sprite editor and it shows different values (card_1,card_2 etc) for each card.

I have 8 slots ( is layout group is best ? or some other way ? )in the game area and I need to display any 8 cards into these slots using c#. In order to happen this , I have started with array and I find difficult to read from sprite and show each cards in slot.

Can any one guide me best practice and how to do ?

 

To access a Sprite use GetComponent <Image> ().sprite.

Code (CSharp):

1. public Sprite mySprite;
2.  
3. public void Awake ()
4. {
5. gameObject.GetComponent <Image> ().sprite = mySprite;
6. }

Not too sure if this is what you are after exactly, or if it's the arrays you are struggling with?

 

Thanks for your reply. I have a large sprite as I have mentioned it has sub images ( card_0,card_1 etc). It can be seen from unity by pointing out to my large sprite. I need to load all sub images to array and need to display in Game. I am not getting an idea how to pass these images and also which image system I should choose in design area ( please note that I should be able to move this image from Game). I hope as it is Sprite I can move these images when its show in design area.

 

I think you might need to start with the learning section to get familiar with some general concepts of unity.

As for your current issue, it sounds like you imported a Sprite sheet to unity and sliced it up to "individual images". If you expose a Sprite array "public Sprite[] mySpriteArray" in script, you could drag and drop all the individual sprites there. Use the little lock in the inspector, so the inspector does not change when you change the selection
