Now I'm having trouble of a different kind with temp triggers. Here's the mud output and the code:

beezlebob gives you 1 IMP token(s).

#TRIGGER {(%w) gives you 1 IMP token~(s~).} {token;#temp {ImpLuvins Tokens: (%d)} {#va playerfee %1;#sh @playerfee}} "baggame"

This creates a temp trigger just fine. But it has

#va playerfee

instead of

#va playerfee %1

How can I get it to do what I need?

Never mind. I found a way to do it.
I just use &%dplayerfee in the trigger itself. Wish I could delete this post now... *blush* Please tell me how to create a temp trigger in a specific folder though?

#TRIGGER {(%w) gives you 1 IMP token~(s~).} {token;#temp {ImpLuvins Tokens: (%d)} {#va playerfee %%1;#sh @playerfee} {baggame}} "baggame"

#TRIGGER {(%w) gives you 1 IMP token~(s~).} {token;#temp {ImpLuvins Tokens: (%d)} {#va playerfee %%1;#sh @playerfee} "baggame"} "baggame"

should also work, and put the temp trigger in the baggame class

It shouldn't be executing #va playerfee with no argument. What should be happening in this case is that the %1 from the first trigger is expanded throughout it and so the %1 in the temp trigger is replaced with the name of whomever gave you the token(s).

So, if anything, it should be #va playerfee beezlebob

Now, to fix this, we need to defer the expansion of %1 in the temp trigger. We do this with an additional %.

So instead of %1, we use %%1. When the main trigger executes, it expands it one level and gets %1 instead. This is then expanded when the temporary trigger is executed which is what you want.

And to create a temp trigger in a class, use the exact syntax you used for this main trigger, except use #TEMP instead of #TRIGGER.

So:
#TRIGGER {(%w) gives you 1 IMP token~(s~).} {token;#TEMP {ImpLuvins Tokens: (%d)} {#VAR playerfee %%1;#SHOW @playerfee}} "baggame"} "baggame"

Edit: this has been one of those cases of taking too long to post a reply and 2 people squeezing in before you. Sorry for any redundancies :P
