Carrying values across layouts

Hi.

I have an energy bar issue.

I want the player to be able to collect items that add to an energy bar, but it is resetting between layouts thus:

Event sheet:

Any suggestions?

thank you

ps

(object 'Global' property is set to 'yes')

Instead of using a local variable on the sprite, you could just use a global variable and problem solved..

Sorry! Sorry...

Global variables. Wasn't thinking.

sorry.

Thank you Little Stain!
