Making time flow

In my game I have to have time progression. I have a global
event that every 3o seconds I add one to a counter that
represents an hour, every time the hour counter reaches 12
to add a day, and reset the counter to 0, and if the day reaches seven the hour and day counter reset to zero, and the week counter gets one added to it.
The problem is this, even though I have all three counters in each frame, when I jump from from frame to frame, the counters seem to reset. Unless I stay on a frame for the full 30 seconds, my hour counter will not increase. Any thoughts?

Check the Global Object option in the Counter properties

Make sure you drag that counter into each frame, and not create new duplicated counters as they won't retain the same value
