Referencing an Asset in your Script

Howdy.
I'm fairly fresh to the Unity scene, so pardon this seemlingly novice question. The reason I'm making a post about it instead of googling it is because, well, I don't know how really to ask it. I've tried different combinations, none of which had satisfactory results.

I'm doing a little script that chooses a texture randomly for my object. The problem I'm having though is how I go about assigning my textures to variables - i.e., do something along the lines of

Code (csharp):

1. texturething = Assets/Materials/thetextureiwant.jpg
2. renderer.material.mainTexture = texturething

Looking through the Boo documentation on the Unity website, I found AssetDatabase and all of its functions, and figured it would be my knight in shining armor; however, it is only apparently available in the Editor. Ergo, I can not use it in my script.

So, how do I go about this?

Thank you!

 

Use public variables and assign them in the inspector:

Code (csharp):

1. public textures as (Texture2D)
2.  
3. def Start ():
4.     renderer.material.mainTexture = textures[Random.Range(0, textures.Length)]

This didn't work, nor does it answer my question of how I access my textures in my script.

 

It does work (I had tested it to be sure, since I don't normally write Boo), and it precisely answered your question...look at the code; it shows exactly how to access your textures in your script (along with "assign them in the inspector"). If that's not what you were actually asking, then please rephrase.
