No, they don't need a constantly running check.  Think about it. The only time you should check for when you get all the numbers is the precise moment you enter a number, not a parallel event, it's extremely wasteful. And changing the display of the numbers only needs variables, not switches, it's hard to explain, but the events can change pages without needing a separate parallel event. You already have a variable, that's all you need.

Come to think about it... Wait for a bit.  I'll make a prototype with my own version of a code puzzle and show you how it can be done better, without it turning into spagetti and relying on so many parallel events, and I'll send you a link so you can look. That is if I'm right... If I'm wrong I'll eat my words lol.

Anyway, here's my own version of a code breaking puzzle using event numbers...

As you can see, you don't need parallel events for this particular thing you wanna do. Everything is done through a common event and the boxes in which you input numbers in. Far, far less for you to maintain and create.

Hopefully it's useful to you. If not, it's certainly useful for me! Your game gave me great ideas for number inputting puzzles in my own games!

LMAO wow that's simple. It took me hours and hours and hours of painstaking copypasting and manually editing the switches for those parallel events.

Yeah, I understand why you did what you did, it's weird how RPG Maker only allows you to set event pages by variables above a certain number... You can use it for a variety of things, as I'm sure you can imagine, like tracking story progress and such.

Thanks a bunch, I'd really like to know how to do it. I'll even update the game with the new events. I'm pretty dumb when it comes to anything that isn't default on RPGMaker.

Yeah, no problem! Again, it was helpful to me as well, I never really thought of doing codes the way you did them! I'll play it again when you do!

Do you have an email, Barako? It's so stupid how itch doesn't have private messages.

Sure! It's barakothepirate@gmail.com.
