[Scripting Question] I'm getting this weird error...

[TatsuR1SE]

---------------------------
PKMN Aspiration

Script 'Scene_Intro' line 18: TypeError occurred.

cannot convert Fixnum into String
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

For some weird reason I keep getting this error whenever entering the game. I know its something wrong with the intro because I can play the game if I don't include the intro. This only just started happening when I messed with the graphics (credits, title etc) and the pokemon cry that happens in the intro.

Please help. Thanks!

class IntroEventScene < EventScene
  def initialize(pics,splash,viewport=nil)
    super(nil)

end



class Scene_Intro
  def initialize(pics, splash = nil)
    @pics=pics
    @splash=splash
  end

  def main
    Graphics.transition(0)
    @eventscene=IntroEventScene.new(@pics,@splash)
    @eventscene.main
    Graphics.freeze
  end
end

That is my scene_intro script.

You have a number somewhere you need some text. A string is "text with quotes around it like this". This is probably a filename.

It's hard to tell what line 18 is from what you've posted. If you have a number in a variable that you want to convert into a string you can use to_s. e.g.

myVar = 11
myVar.to_s # == "11"
