[sgot7324]

Godot Version

v4.2.2

Question

is it possible to make…?

for first i have variable gun1= get_node(“/root…”), gun2, gun3(they are texture node)

and i have variable type =“gun”
iconindex = (some index)

and i created add = type + str(iconindex)

now, when i write gun1.texsture = …
it works
but if i write add.texsture =… it isn’t works

so, i have add with value “gun1”

Can you share a short, complete, script showing what is working and what isnt (and notate what you expected it to do)?

Try get(add) instead of just add.

Invail set index ‘texture’ with value of type string

[gertkeno]

You only need the name of the node. Unique names will not help here though, all of your guns need be a child of the same node.

var gun_parent: Node2D = %Gun1.get_parent()
var gun_name: String = "Gun" + str(add)

var new_texture = load("res://assets/icons/"+add+lvl+".jpg") # must load resources
gun_parent.get_node(gun_name).texture = new_texture

for reference get_node("Gun1") is the same as $Gun1

Make sure to paste your scripts, it will be formatted correctly if between three ticks like so

```
type or paste code here
```

Would you have to use load or preload to get the texture?

Reply From: Inces You want to set texture of a sprite with a png file. What You did is force the texture tu load an image. All You need to do is : var sprbullet = Sprite.new() sprbullet.texture = load("res://bullet.png") Hey, thanks for the info! Really helped me a lot. Savio | 2021-10-12 20:33

Or this

Load textures at runtime from outside the res file system

Reply From: miremrie I’ve had success with this code loading .png in Godot 4.0 stable. There is an example in docs for ImageTexture var image = Image.load_from_file(path) var texture = ImageTexture.create_from_image(image) brush.texture = texture Here, path is an absolute path received by FileDialog picker, with file in the desktop folder, brush is a TextureRect Tried on Windows 10. Seems to work in exported project also.
