I see. You just don't know what !?GE does. Here is a quote from ERM help:

Quote:This is a "global" event with number #.
The # must be first in the Event text (the event title doesn't matter).
This number WON'T APPEAR later in message text in the game as long as it's used by a trigger.
Example:
Global event with text "1230There you are!" transforms to "There you are!" with number 1230.
