  Sounds like a problem I just had and it got answered by TheMadExile.
  @giucorreias :

  javascript doesn't like me and I don't like javascript

  Hehe, It's quite the opposite in my case. Please provide us your <<widget>> source, otherwise this can't be correctly answered.

  I actually managed to fix it on my own!
  I was trying to update the variable's value without calling the passage again (that would be bad because I use append to give the player a battle log and calling the passage again would erase it). I solved it by using <<replace>>.
  Still! Thank you for the answers. Sorry to have bothered you all~

  In case anyone is wondering, this is what I'm working with (still very much incomplete):
  

  <<widget "EndBattle">>
  	<<if $char.health gt $combatEnemy.health>>
  		<<append "#main-fight">><br>You have won!<</append>>
  		<<set $char.health to ($char.health - $lostHP)>>
  				<<replace "#char-health">>$char.health<</replace>>
  	<<else>>
  		<<append "#main-fight">><br>You have lost!<</append>>
  		<<set $char.health to ($char.health - $lostHP)>>
  				<<replace "#char-health">>$char.health<</replace>>
  	<</if>>
  <</widget>>
  
  <<widget "EnemyTurn">>
  	<<set $enemy_pts to (random(1, 20) + $combatEnemy.attack)>>
  	<<set $combatRound to ($combatRound + 1)>>
  	<<if $evade>>
  		<<if $enemy_pts gte $e_pts>>
  			<<set $lostHP to random(1, $enemyWeapon.damage)>>
  			<<if $lostHP gte $char.health>>
  				<<EndBattle>>
  			<<else>> 
  				<<append "#main-fight">><br>You have been hit! You lost $lostHP HP. It is now round $combatRound.<</append>>
  				<<replace "#combat-round">>$combatRound<</replace>>
  				<<set $char.health to ($char.health - $lostHP)>>
  				<<replace "#char-health">>$char.health<</replace>>
  			<</if>>
  		<<else>>
  			<<append "#main-fight">><br>You have successfully evaded! It is now round $combatRound.<</append>>
  			<<replace "#combat-round">>$combatRound<</replace>>
  		<</if>>
  	<</if>>
  <</widget>>
  
  <<widget "Evade">>
  	<<set $evade to true>>
  	<<if $eqArmour.armourtype eq "light">>
  		<<set $e_pts to (random(1, 20) + $athl.mod + testGameMod($att.dex))>>
  		<<EnemyTurn>>
  	<</if>>
  	<<if $eqArmour.armourtype eq "medium">>
  		<<if testGameMod($att.dex) gte 2>>
  			<<set $e_pts to (random(1, 20) + $athl.mod + 2>>
  			<<EnemyTurn>>
  		<<elseif testGameMod($att.dex) lt 2>>
  			<<EnemyTurn>>
  		<</if>>
  	<</if>>
  	<<if $eqArmour.armourtype eq "heavy">>
  		<<set $e_pts to (random(1, 20) + $athl.mod>>
  		<<EnemyTurn>>
  	<</if>>
  <</widget>>
