===Number Checking Player Numbers===

The ''ONLY'' way to filter a single player with Number Check is to make sure that only that 1 player's NumVar passes the NumCheck! If multiple Players have their Number {channel} pass a NumCheck at the same time, ''ALL of them'' are placed into the EXTRA[add] mod list by Number Check

This makes it a pain to READ a Player Number {channel} or Game Value... see the next section if you don't believe it!

'''You MUST Make 1 (and only 1) Player's Number {channel} Pass A Number Check To READ That Player's Numbers Or Game Values!'''

This is because only these Actions can read Player Number {channels} or Game Values:

*Number Change
*Score Change
*Spawn Order Change


Numbers or Game Values are only read in the '''<span style="text-decoration: underline;">CHANGE</span>''' section at the bottom of these Actions by choosing

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Source</span>=Number
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Scope</span>=Object
'''<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Object</span>=ACTIVATOR'''
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Number</span>=Player + <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Channel</span>={channel}
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Source</span>=Game Value
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Game Value</span>={list}... player game values are: Score[player], Shields<3 types>, Health<3 types>, and Spawn Order
'''<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Object</span>=ACTIVATOR'''

Only 1 object (meaning Player) can be this Object=ACTIVATOR because the only other option is Object=THIS, which is the object the script was added to!

Plus, no further filtering options are available after Object=ACTIVATOR, so if Number Check passes along more than 1 Player to this Object=ACTIVATOR, we have no way to choose which Player gets selected!

*Conditions seem to all be checked to see if they need to be evaluated and only the ones that do get sent to the "Action Phase" to be evaluated and execute if the condition passes and their Actions are then run
*For Number: Check as long as the Number being checked has changed or is marked Dirty, it will get sent to the "Action Phase" to be evaluated in the order of older script first (lowest number). Each script is fully evaluated and its actions executed before moving to the next one. This means that if a Number is Dirty but wouldn't pass a script's condition at first, but an earlier script changes that Number so that it now would pass the later script's Number: Check condition, that later script (which seems like it wouldn't trigger) does trigger and the Actions are executed.
*Technique: We can target any players & dirty a number channel using Number Change: Force Dirty=ON, Operation=Increment, Constant=0 and next tick all the Number Checks for that player channel will activate & perform their test to see if the script should trigger
