Prefab somehow doesnt use given Sprite

Hi,

So I am making a object shooting little bullets and for that I made a prefab for the bullet.
Based on a Value the bullet should change its Sprite and because its a prefab I cant attach them manually so I had to use Resources.Load.

So I made a Resources folder in the assets folder and put only the given Sprite "Bullet_Normal" in it but it still doesnt work. What am I diong wrong? And how could I fix this?
Also all the other functions with Rigidbodys a.s.o. all work perfectly and only the sprite is missing when running the game.
Thanks in advance

Code (CSharp):

1. public class Bullet : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     // Start is called before the first frame update
4.     Sprite spriteB;
5.     Rigidbody2D rig;
6.     float moveSpeed;
7.     GameObject player;
8.     GameObject gunPoint;
9.  
10.  
11.    
12.     void Start()
13.     {
14.         //
15.         SetBulletType(0);
16.         //
17.  
18.         rig = gameObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
19.         gunPoint = GameObject.Find("Gunpoint");
20.         gameObject.transform.position = gunPoint.transform.position;
21.         player = GameObject.Find("Player");
22.        
23.         moveSpeed = 100f;
24.         SetVelocity();
25.         gameObject.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().sprite = spriteB;
26.     }
27.  
28.     // Update is called once per frame
29.     void Update()
30.     {
31.      
32.     }
33.  
34.     void SetVelocity ()
35.     {
36.            rig.velocity = player.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().transform.up * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
37.     }
38.  
39.     public void SetBulletType(int type)
40.     {
41.        switch(type)
42.         {
43.             case 0:
44.                 Debug.Log("BulletType: Normal");
45.                 spriteB = Resources.Load("Bullet_Normal", typeof(Sprite)) as Sprite;
46.                 break;
47.  
48.             default:
49.                 Debug.LogError("BulletType not found");
50.                 break;
51.         }
52.     }
53. }

its a prefab I couldnt attach a sprite manually because

 

I don't know of any reason a prefab should prevent you from attaching the sprite directly, so going to need to know what issue you're running into there. Also, what behavior are you getting here?

 

You need to assign the Sprite to its SpriteRenderer. What you've done is get a reference to the sprite. It has yet been told to render anywhere. On the next line after line 45 try this (it'll only work if your bullet has a SpriteRenderer).

this.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().sprite = spriteB;

 

This worked! Thank you
