Change Texture2D variable

Question

When I hover a trigger, I want the cursor to change to a Texture2D of my choice, but I can't figure out how to change that variable.

I have t$$anonymous$$s "Main" script on my camera to give a custom cursor:

using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;

public class Main : MonoBehaviour {

 public Texture2D cursorImage;

 void Start()
 {
     Screen.showCursor = false;
 }

 void OnGUI()
 {       
     GUI.DrawTexture(new Rect(Input.mousePosition.x - 64, Screen.height - Input.mousePosition.y - 64, 128, 128), cursorImage);
 }

T$$anonymous$$s is my trigger's "TriggerObject1" script

using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;

public class TriggerTable1 : MonoBehaviour {

 void OnMouseEnter()
 {
     //Switch cursor code
     GameObject.Find("Main Camera").GetComponent&lt;Main&gt;().cursorImage = don't know what to put here;
 }

Create a folder called "Resources" in your project. Put your texture inside the folder. Then use somet$$anonymous$$ng like t$$anonymous$$s:

void OnMouseEnter()
{
//Switch cursor code
GameObject.Find("Main Camera").GetComponent<Main>().cursorImage = Resources.Load("YourTextureName");
}

T$$anonymous$$s is how I do it (in Javascript). Just put the name of your texture inside the double quote marks.

Thanks, that works, except I needed "as Texture2D" at the end: GameObject.Find("Main Camera").GetComponent().cursorImage = Resources.Load("trigger") as Texture2D;
