Get enum's value as font style-CodePudding

I have created an enum of 3 fonts as shown in script below. I am trying to assign the respective selected font from the inspector window. Unfortunately I do not get the value selected, instead I get an error. What am I doing wrong?

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using TMPro;

public class TextScript : MonoBehaviour {

 public enum fontStyleEnum // your custom enumeration
    {
        Bold, 
        Underline, 
        Italic
    };

    public TMP_Text textMesh; 

    public fontStyleEnum fontStyle;
    
     public void Start(){
        textMesh.fontStyle = FontStyles.fontStyle.value; //I get the error here
    }
}

CodePudding user response：

Variable you are assigning is using enum TMPro.FontStyles and you are trying to assign your fontStyleEnum type.

Assing it any of TMPro.FontStyles enum and it will work.

CodePudding user response：

FontStyles does not have a field called fontStyle.

You have to take your enum and cast it to FontStyles.

See:

public void Start()
{
    textMesh.fontStyle = (FontStyles)fontStyle;
}
