- Go to and drag Global Variable right below the line ····#·add·other·actions...¬
All of the commands inside an event should have a green block ···· in front of them and will only run when signalled.
- Change the variable that comes after the keyword global to left_count.
The keyword global allows us to change the value of a variable inside of an event.
