Global Variable keeps reverting to zero when entering a new map

[DoomeDx]

My map has special keys that can unlock cabinets that contain weapons and ammo. I want those keys to carry over to the next level, however, it doesn't work as intended since it keeps reverting back to "0'' when the new map is loaded.

 

CODE:

Cabinet Script

#library "cabinet"
#include "zcommon.acs"
bool PowerOn = FALSE;

global int 2: cabinetKeys;

script "cabinetKeyFound" (void){
	cabinetKeys++;
	HudMessage(s: "Cabinet Card acquired"; HUDMSG_PLAIN, 0, CR_GREEN, 0.5, 0.27, 3.7);
	HudMessage(s: "Card Count:", i: cabinetKeys; HUDMSG_PLAIN, 0, CR_GREEN, 0.5, 0.32, 3.7);
}

Map01 and Map02 import the cabinet library using...

#import "main"
#import "cabinet"
#include "zcommon.acs"

 

Any ideas on how to make the variable carry over to the other map? I've been trying things for over an hour

Fixed it. I was importing the variables while also using a LOADACS lump. Apparently that causes problems. All good now
