Can you send the block where you set the value ? ---

From my experience, using rose, light blue and orange blocks together gets rapidly complicated. As addition to @AcrobatEpee s question, you might want to make a log, by adding labels to your project for testing reasons and set the labels each time variables are declared. Then you can see the value of the variables. ---

Despite various reports, my recent experience suggests that global variables are still working with errors. Use variables from functions instead. To do this, add a function block to the working field and in it set a parameter with the desired name — the block of this variable will appear in the palette. ---

I also suggest to make it the way @actech said, we already have a full topic about that which I invite you to visit. Nice day 🙂 ---

See what kind of data is stored in a variable. If the fixed block works, and the variable does not work, then the problem is with the value that is stored in this variable. Create another variable and assign it a fixed value and use this variable in get #. Doesn’t that work either ??? ---
