This is a function I made to draw pipes in an angry birds knockoff I made:
def drawPipes():
#Pipes 1
if pipes1 == 1:
topPipe1Y =300
botPipe1Y =400
screen.blit( topL, ( col1X, 0))
screen.blit( botS, ( col1X, 400)) <-----This part keeps getting the error.
elif pipes1 == 2:
topPipe1Y = 200
botPipe1Y = 300
screen.blit( topM, ( col1X, 0))
screen.blit( botM, ( col1X, 300)) <-----This part keeps getting the error.
elif pipes1 == 3:
topPipe1Y = 100
botPipe1Y = 200
screen.blit( topS, ( col1X, 0))
screen.blit( botL, ( col1X, 200)) <-----This part keeps getting the error.
#Pipes 2
if pipes2 == 1:
topPipe2Y =300
botPipe2Y =400
screen.blit( topL, ( col2X, 0))
screen.blit( botS, ( col2X, 400)) <-----This part keeps getting the error.
elif pipes2 == 2:
topPipe2Y =200
botPipe2Y =300
screen.blit( topM, ( col2X, 0))
screen.blit( botM, ( col2X, 300)) <-----This part keeps getting the error.

screen.blit( topS, ( col2X, 0))

My issue is that when I try to run my program I get an error saying
TypeError: argument 1 must be pygame.Surface, not tuple.
I have no idea what to do, sometimes I am able to run it and sometimes I am not. My surface is called screen and I have used the same syntax in multiple other programs where I have used pygame but I have never had this issue. If anybody can help me I would really appreciate it. If you need to see my entire program it is here:
