/if variable is >=1
run 1
run 2
run 3
run 4
run 5
:end
/if won game is on
break loop
end

Get rid of the loop and change your common event's trigger to "Parallel". Parallel events process once per frame in the background while active. You'll need to choose (or create) and assign a switch to the event, too; the event will only process while that switch is on.

It's generally advisable to have a Wait command in there too, either at the start or the end. Doing so eases the pressure on the CPU. "Wait 60 frames" will cause the event to execute ~ once per second, which is generally sufficient.

i seen that i could add a trigger to a common event and it wanted to me to select a switch but i never knew what i was supposed to do. i learn something new every day with this software.
