I have a parallel process to hide a tile if the player happens to explore a certain map too early. After the player has gone through this part of the game, it goes to a blank event page permanently.

However, since it's specific to this map, I don't want the process to be running foreeeever while the player isn't even on the map.
The process checks for game progress, changes the graphic to a normal wall tile if it needs to be hidden, and then exits event processing. I didn't ask it to "erase event" because I don't want it to erase the event's graphic.
