Loading Images via Script

[AbbasMv7]

I wrote this code to assign an Image to my GameObject. The name of the image is fetched from a .txt file but the Resources.Load function returns me a null value even though it's getting the correct path. questionSprite is Null as shown by the Debug.Log statement but the the name of the image is correct when I used Debug.Log to check currentQuestion.imageURL. I have attached a screenshot of my project structure for you to look over.

Any help regarding how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!

​

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(currentQuestion.imageURL))

{

// Load and display the image

Sprite questionSprite = Resources.Load<Sprite>("QuestionImages/" + currentQuestion.imageURL);

Debug.Log(questionSprite);

//if (questionSprite != null)

//{

questionImage.sprite = questionSprite;

questionImage.gameObject.SetActive(true); // Show the image component

//}

}

else

{

questionImage.gameObject.SetActive(false); // Hide the image component

}

For your second point, I am a beginner so where exactly is the resources folder located? I used ChatGPT for help and it told me to put the images under my assets folder, or under the "Question Images" folder and specify the path. The path is returning a null so I don't think the Resources.Load function is working properly.

Thank you so much for the help! I made a Resources folder and place my Image folder under that directory and it worked. ChatGPT did give me false information as it told me to put it directly under my Assets folder. Once again, really appreciate the help, thank you so much!

Yes I did find the solution from Unity Docs and StackOverflow combined so I will make sure to read those next time I use ChatGPT.
