Resource Not Found Error

Hello, I posted a whie back about an issue I was having with presets and their parent objects. I decided to try a new approach that would not use any presets in hopes of avoiding these kinds of errors. I am now having an issue with the Resources folder that I have in that when the script I have attempts to retrieve a text resource from the folder, it cannot seem to find it. I looked up solutions, and it appears to me that I did exactly what the Unity manual explains, but it does not seem to be working for me (Here is the manual if you want to see it: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/LoadingResourcesatRuntime.html ). Am I missing something? Here is the code and error messages in case it is relevant.

Code (CSharp):

1. using System;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4. using System.Collections.Specialized;
5. using System.Runtime.Versioning;
6. using System.Security.Cryptography;
7. using UnityEngine;
8. using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
9. using UnityEngine.UI;
10.  
11. public class QuizManager : MonoBehaviour
12. {
13.  
14.     public GameObject canvas;
15.  
16.     GameObject CreateText(Transform canvas_transform, float x, float y, string text_to_print, int font_size, Color text_color)
17.     {
18.         Font arial;
19.         GameObject UItextGO = new GameObject("question");
20.         UItextGO.transform.SetParent(canvas_transform);
21.  
22.         RectTransform trans = UItextGO.AddComponent<RectTransform>();
23.         trans.anchoredPosition = new Vector2(x, y);
24.  
25.         arial = (Font)Resources.GetBuiltinResource(typeof(Font), "Roboto-Bold.ttf");
26.  
27.         Text text = UItextGO.AddComponent<Text>();
28.         text.font = arial;
29.         text.text = text_to_print;
30.         text.fontSize = font_size;
31.         text.color = text_color;
32.  
33.         return UItextGO;
34.     }  
35.  
36.     public void Start()
37.     {
38.         GameObject UItext = CreateText(canvas.transform, 100, 100, "Question 1", 24, Color.black);
39.  
40.        
41.  
42.     }

 

I'm not sure that call will work, and I also don't think you want the

.ttf

in their either.

In any case, given you put the font in Resources correctly, you could simply use this:

Code (csharp):

1. arial = Resources.Load<Font>("Roboto-Bold");  // don't add .ttf suffix

 

This fixed it for me, Thank you!
