Changing sprite of a different object with a button

Question

I am making a bestiary inventory system, and on the left there's the item's and on the right there's the big item and description. I know how to change the text/description although the image is not changing. I tried it with sprites (SpriteRenderer) and it didn't work, but I can't figure out to test it out with images. alt text

Create a reference to the Sprite

 //The Image Component in the UI
 public Image icon;
 //The Sprite from your resources
 public Sprite image;

and set it with

 icon.sprite = image;

That should do it

Like this? Image says "CS0246: The type or namespace 'Image' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Wait that might just be because I forgot to add using UnityEngine.UI; alt text

Add

 using UnityEngine.UI;

to the top of your script
