I found the problem!
I tried storing the variable before starting the timer, storing the variable was fine, starting the timer wasn't.
I then looked into the variables, and found that it was stored as "0 seconds". I'm pretty sure it could work if the variable was stored as only "0" without the "seconds" next to it.
Think I can modify it on my own so it can better fit in my project without involving you working on a fix that not everybody would need?
