Wait, is this on a script tile? If so you HAVE to have a setvar at the end and put it in the var box on the script tile. About the other thing, all you have to do is use a free flag/var. I'm pretty sure there's a list of used flags/vars in XSE, just use the one after the highest used one and up. If that doesn't work I know that flags 1000 and up are free and vars 6000 and up are free.
