WELLSY50'S PROFILE

I keep getting an error when I try to "battle" test or battle enemies in my game.
everything else in my game works well.

Script 'Cache' line 75: Type Error occurred.
cannot convert nil into String.

I thought it may have been a script I was testing so I deleted the script & it didn't fix the issue.

I'm currently using a hud script and a side view battle script they are working perfectly (Have been for 2months) I have battle tested loads while they where in place with no problem.
I thought maybe I accidentally messed up the "Cache" script so I copied & pasted "Cache" from a new game with no result.

Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on!?

I would be happy to send my game to anyone who may have ideas on a fix

Version 1.0
by Woratana
Release Date: 13/07/2008
This is the minimap script based on KGC Minimap in XP.



I Found this great mini map it is plug&play

can someone please show me (Exact details I'm really poor at scripting) how to make items/npc's show up on the map a differant colour.

I've been trying to pull this off for a while now but cant get it to work.

I want a map that (I already have ready) that I can look at by using my invetory.
I have tried to call it in a common event but it wont work. alos it would be great if I could check my map & see exactly where Iam in the world.

dunno magi.......
all I want is to combine two items to cook 1 item
common events maybe?

what would the value of fifa 08 be compared to fifa 10
