When you add commands to an event, you must be sure they have ···· in front of them.
- Go to and drag Global Variable right below the line ····#·add·other·actions...¬
- 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.
