The results on my project are unstable, sometimes the first is right and the other two are wrong, other times the first and third are right and the second is wrong, despite the variables being shown at the correct value. The only difference for your code, is that I'm using the "trigger once" event instead of using the "on start of layout", because this code is inside a function. Do you think this could be the problem?
Some screenshots:
Honestly, your questions are getting very weird you know that?
How can I know what you did in your project? I don't know and honestly, I don't have the time for debugging your project.
I gave you already two working versions and I just tested them again they seem to work without any bugs so whatever problems you having is on your side.
You have 3 choices:
1-(Copy & Paste) my exact code in your project and use that as it works 100%, I'm thinking why you didn't do that?
2-Start Debugging your project as you do with any other game, I don't think it will take you long to find out what's wrong though. Again I'm thinking why you didn't do that?

https://www.construct.net/en/tutorials/checking-for-errors-in-browsers-5
3-Leave this project, as it looks, is too difficult for you and do some C3 tutorials to start learning the basics when you think you improved your skills come back to this project and you will see how easy was to solve if you just use the "Debugger" + some basic skills.
I say this because if you have to come back with every little error you have then not sure how you gonna finish any small Game.
I strongly recommend Option 2 but for this, you need to take the time and debug as you will learn from that also for your future projects. The problem I see is you are always in a hurry and that there is always a deadline to showcase the example etc... so that's why you don't take the time to study the examples or debug your own code so this is a big problem as Game dev needs time and focus.
I think I helped you already with your main issue so for me, I'm gonna have to end here as I don't have time even for my own projects so I will pass it to anyone else who wants to give it a try, though I wouldn't recommend it as it looks like you are not willing to put effort to learn, sorry I have to tell you the truth, normally I wouldn't mind keeping going the back and forward as long as it takes but on this thread, I'm really scratching my head where are we going with this.
Also, there is option 4 that just came to my mind:
I'm pretty sure you can find it on Fiver or any other Services like that, someone that you can pay small money to so it can guide you and answer any questions you will have, like a personal coacher (24/7).
And think this is the option that you are looking for as here on the forum I will be surprised if anyone will have the time for that when it could work on his own projects.
I hope you don't take this too personal.
