Is it possible?...

  I was wondering if you could incorperate in-game variables into windows. For example: You want the number that variable #1 equals in a common pop up window. Would you use anything other than the draw_text method? When I tried that, it said it could not convert fixnum to string. Please help. Thanks!

You can use $game_variables[X] where X is the ID to refer to variables. And you need to use following syntax for the draw_text:

Code: [Select]

self.contents.draw_text(x, y, w, h, string, align)

(but you know that already.)

You should also be careful with strings. Numbers are not strings until you "convert" them to such with .to_s

For example:

Code: [Select]

num = 5
self.contents.draw_text(0, 0, 320, 32, 3.to_s + " - 1 is " + num.to_s)


You will get as output

3 - 1 is 5

But using

Code: [Select]

num = 5
self.contents.draw_text(0, 0, 320, 32, 2 + " - 1 is " + num)


will result in the same typeerror you just got.

You my friend ... are the best! I can't thank you enough for the help.
