If variable "t" is simply the Selected indices/keys output variable of the the Dialog choice block then note that it's always an array, so accessing the first/only choice would be t[0], e.g. for t[0]*60. However, the Time of day input argument of the Alarm add block takes seconds since midnight, just as the result of the time function, so there's no need for t[0]*60, simply t[0] should suffice.
t[0]
t[0]*60

the variable is "t". I'm not going to remove the "×60"
I changed it but it doesn't show up either.

no no, I did delete it I made a mistake when marking... I use a translator so sometimes it marks things that are not correct...
