Zugg Software :: View topic - Problems expanding vars in a trigger creation line

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone knows how to do this. Its really simple and I've tried a lot of things with no luck. It seems creating a trigger within an alias won't expand vars. I've tried [],{},(), '',"",%string(),%expand() etc with no luck.

Here is the alias:

#ALIAS al_add {
#VARIABLE descript %left( %-1, %pos( xxx, %-1)-2);
#VARIABLE keyword %right( %-1, %pos( xxx, %-1)+3);
#ECHO Descript: @descript;
#ECHO Keyword: @keyword;
#TRIGGER {@descript} {@Item_List = %push( @keyword, @Item_List)} {auto_loot|Items}} "Utility Aliases"

Here's the resulting trigger:
#TRIGGER {@descript} {@Item_List = %push( @keyword, @Item_List)} "auto_loot|Items"

Any ideas to get those vars to expand?

try <>'s around them? worked for me before when i played a godwars mud and was making transporters and alias'

#BUTTON 3 {Transporter} {
#PR transtype "Transporter to where?"
#PR nowwhat "What do you do once there?"
#PR whatfor "What is the item name?"
c 'continual light'
get ball
claim light
quest light transporter
quest light name @transtype
c spellproof @transtype
c resistance @transtype
put @transtype bag
#AL @transtype {#T- Quests;get <@transtype> bag;wear <@transtype>;activate <@transtype>;wear torch;put <@transtype> bag;<@nowwhat>;complete card <@whatfor>}
#save
} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} "" {} {} {}

Used Pretty Print
Syntax Colourizer

The #PR would make the variable btw
