Calling Resources.Load on a texture is not working

Question

I'm trying to load a Texture from the Resources folder but it keeps on returning null.

t = (Texture)Resources.Load("Circle") as Texture;

The circle texture has an extension of .tga.

What programming language? – Scarification

Added the C# tag for you. – Scarification

Why cast to Texture and then try to parse the result to a Texture again? – Theurgy

t = Resources.Load("Circle") as Texture; – Cottier

I tried it this way too, I thought that maybe not casting it might've been the problem. – Cottier

What about the path? Is it Assets/Resources/Circle.tga ? – Faulty

Yes, that is the path. – Cottier

public texture t = Resources.Load("Circle") as Texture; Try if that gives you some sort of error debug. Or that it still stays null . IF it stays null check capitalisation of your circle. Also check in editor if stays empty ofcourse ;) – Sticktight

Answer 1

You must put Circle.tga in Assets/Resources folder. Plus if you have subfolder, for example Resources/Textures/Circle.tga then do like this:

Texture t = Resources.Load("Textures/Circle") as Texture;

"You must put Circle.tga in Assets/Resources folder." Thanks for this line. – Eme

Answer 2

The extension of the file isn't necessary. So this is correct:

t = (Texture)Resources.Load("Circle") as Texture;

This is not:

t = (Texture)Resources.Load("Circle.npg") as Texture;

Single Texture File

Texture File should be added into Resources folder After that use below lines of code for load texture

var Texture_1 : Texture2D;
Texture_1 = Resources.Load("TextureName");

For Folder

Folder should be in kept into Resources folder After that use below lines of code for load folder of textures

var textures : Object[];
textures = Resources.LoadAll("FolderName");

Thanks, my problem was the "Resources" folder, I did not know that. – Renettarenew

@Massimiliano Uguccioni thanks... that fixed my problem.

Steps to use Resources.load:

1. make sure its in the Resources folder
2. reference full relative path without Resources: eg: textures/texture1 where textures is a folder inside Resources
3. like Massimiliano Uguccioni said dont include file extension
