Cannot implicitly convert type 'Int' to 'T'

Question

I can call Get(Stat); or Get(Name);

But when compiling I get:

Cannot implicitly convert typ

Answer 1

You can simply cast like below,

public T Get(Stats type) where T : IConvertible
{
  if (typeof(T) == typeof(int))
  {
    int t = Convert.ToInt16(PlayerStats[type]);
    return t as T;
  }
 if (typeof(T) == typeof(string))
 {
    string t = PlayerStats[type].ToString();
    return t as T;
 }
}
