Is there a way to convert a string to a number? Specifically an Integer?

    If you are talking about changing a string of numerical characters (such as "125"), into an integer, the answer is yes.

    Just use a change attribute behavior:
    Change Attribute: self.myInteger To: self.myNumString

    Thanks... I guess the variables are like var's in java rather than typed variables in C.

    GameSalad runs on Lua if that's helpful...

    Numbers contained in strings can be used as integers. You can perform maths on them etc. Normally there's no reason to specifically convert them.
