Whenever I use my variables, something weird happens…
I'm doing a shop thing, quick project for fun, and I can't use a certain variable for a total.
When I go into my project, I look for mistakes, but it doesn't seem like there are any.

What it looks like:

when this sprite clicked
change [Total v] by (6)
broadcast [Expensive Apple v]

and

when this sprite clicked
change [Total v] by (1)
broadcast [Cheap Banana v]

If you don't know what I mean, here's a quick preview of my script!:

Project isn't shared. I'm off to bed (11.30 here) but you might get more help if you make sure it's shared.

If you share the project I could help.

when green flag clicked
forever
say [Never give up]
say [Stay focused]
say [Stay positive]
say [Stay strong]
end

I think I know what you mean.
Instead of having

change [Total] by ()

Put,

set [Total] to ((Total) + (6))

Why would that help?

More likely there are two variables called Total, at least one of them having been declared locally to one of the sprites.

Wow, thank you so much, Cuffrox!
That really helped.

As @gtoal said though, there's no reason why that would help so there's something else going on.

True, true, but- One thing… Let's stop quoting over and over again.
