This was the problem:
The timer started wasn't working, I realize I didn't specify that in the first post. The reason is because the 'if button pressed and variable at this' was below other if queries, but when I tried to change it to an elif I got the error 'expected statement but got 'elif' instead'. I don't know why, but moving it to the top of the code didn't mess anything up, and seemed to fix the problem.
Let me know if you have any other suggestions.
