I am having trouble with Decoy Drill. I am collecting way too much gold before building a decoy. If I take out the pice of code that says totalGold=0; after building a decoy, my guy simply stops.

Thoughts?

```python
var decoysBuilt = 0;
var totalGold = 0;
loop {
  
    var coin = this.findNearestItem();
    this.moveXY(coin.pos.x, coin.pos.y);
    var value = coin.value;
    totalGold = totalGold + value;
    
    
    if (totalGold >= 25) {
        this.buildXY("decoy", this.pos.x, this.pos.y);
        decoysBuilt = decoysBuilt + 1;
        totalGold=0;
    }
    
    if (decoysBuilt >= 4) {
        break;
    }
        
}

this.say("Done building decoys!");
// Go to Naria and say how many decoys you built.
this.moveXY(14, 36);
this.say("I have built "+decoysBuilt+" decoys.");

```

pro tip. put three of these characters on a line by itself both before and after your pasted code. `

Try using the `this.gold` from your sense stone on this one, since you can’t count the gold you incidentally pick up on the way to get your target coin just by summing `coin.value` numbers.
