I’m trying to change the texture of my TextureRect when I click it. I was hoping that I could set all the frames in the animation, set it to 0 fps and just change to whichever frame I wanted, but I don’t see an option to do that. Alternatively, is there a way that I could just set the texture in code, e.g something like …

MyImage.Texture = "res://Graphics/image.png"

That doesn’t work but I’m trying to find some way to change the texture in code.

Texture is a Texture property, you can’t assign text to it like you wrote.
You should load the texture from the path instead, because then load will return the proper texture:
MyImage.texture = load("res://Graphics/image.png")

Not working for me, I’m getting an error - Invalid set index ‘Texture’ (on base: ‘TextureRect (Kit.gd)’) with value of type ‘StreamTexture’.

Sorry, it’s lowercase texture.

Oh yeah, lol, it was that simple. Thanks, I’ve accepted this as the best answer.

By example for Godot4 with C#

var texturePath= "res://textures/gui/maps/forest.png";
var texture2d = (Texture2D) GD.Load(texturePath);
MyTextureRect.Texture = texture2d;
