Apologies if this is a bit vague. How to I get Construct to register a series of actions in order and then respond to the string that it's read. For example, I have a set of sprites set out like a phone keypad that can be clicked on individually. What is the best way to log a set of clicks in order (like a phone number) and have an event trigger for individual number sequences?

Thanks in advance!

Add an instance variable "code" to each sprite. Set unique 1-number or 1-letter codes. When any sprite is clicked/touched, add its code to the end of a string, then check if this string ends with a specific sequence of characters. So something like this:
On Click on KeypadSprite Set keySequence to keySequence& KeypadSprite.code if right(keySequence, 4)="1234" ... do something if right(keySequence, 5)="IDDQD" ... do something else

There is also an addon you can try:
