haha sorry, forgot to tell you about it.
When I created it, I overlooked something which essentially just gave it all away lol oh well.
Battery sent me a pm earlier a lil of how he did it, but I don't exactly understand it haha but it did make me realize a flaw. 🤦♂
Anyways, good luck with the others! 🤗
