Because there is no such variable.
Yes, it's not possible to decide which items the player
has when the level starts, and which not.
Well, you can either use fl_thief in the whole level.
Or, you construct some additional part which requires
the extralifes as well. The easiest would be additional
lasers which would have to be blocked.
I think, when you position these additional lasers in a
clever way, the player might have to puzzle out which
lasers to block.
