Ok I am making a gold splitter for the MUD Chalacyn Nights, and well it kind of works and kind of doesn't.

Triggers:

Pattern: You get %1 gold coins.
Value: #math sgold (%1/@tmem))
splitit

Variables:
@sgold
@tmem
@plist

Aliases:
Name: splitit
Value: give $@sgold @plist
[This alias just hands out the gold to each member]

Name: +pm
Value: #math tmem (1+@tmem)
#VA plist {%1}
'Added %1 to list. Number of members @tmem
[This alias adds a player to the variable plist and adds 1 to the variable tmem]

Name: -pm
Value: #math plist %1-%1
#math tmem @tmem-1
'Removed %1 from list. Number of members @tmem.
[This alias removes a player from the varibale plist and subracts 1 from the varible
tmem]

Ok with the code as is, I cannot figure out how to set the variable @tmem to = 1 to start and step one when I add another member (the = 1 meaning myself). Another problem I am having is when I add another member (2 or more) the @plist variable adds them like so [KasumiBalthamos] so if there are 3 members it trys to give the gold to member KasumiBalthamos instead of 2 other seperate members. If this is hard to understand, I'm a newb at zMud and trying to learn...if you have answers or comments you can email me at more2minds@yahoo.com

Thanks, and Help if you can

Is plist a string list, or is it set as text?

Ok i solved the first problem about the splitter not including me, it does now, the variable tmem stats at 1 and steps from there when i had players. i used

#var tmem {1} and it works now, I just can't figure out how to set @plist to a string list.

Ok I now have figured out how to make plist a string list,

#var plist {%1}
#additem {%1}

but know I can't figure out how to make it write to the next value so i could have

1 Balthamos
2 Kasumi

instead of overwriting the value of 1 like it's doing now....

1 Balthamos becomes 1 Kasumi when i try to add Kasumi to the group.

Help please if you could.

How about a complete rewrite (untested but its from me so it should work :P) Disable your current triggers and copy/paste this script in the command line (where you type mud commands) and hit enter. Please read the corresponding help files for all commands used to get a better grasp on how this script works
COMMANDS USED:
#TRIGGER, #VARIABLE, #ADDITEM, #DELITEM, #FORALL, #ALIAS
FUNTIONS USED:
%eval (basicly like #MATH but Im addicted to using %eval)

#TRIGGER {You get (%d) gold coins.} {#VAR sgold {%eval(%1/%eval(%numitem(@plist)+1))};splitit}
#NOOP This trigger correctly divides the gold for your @plist and YOU (+1)
#ALIAS splitit {#forall @plist {give ~$@sgold %i}}
#NOOP loops through plist and gives @sgold to each member
#ALIAS +pm {#ADDITEM plist {%1}}
#ALIAS -pm {#DELITEM plist {%1}}
#NOOP Adds and deletes members to and from @plist stringlist

Wow thanks nexela it worked i added a lil bit of my own style and had to fix 1 error in your code but it worked. Thanks your your help. BTW your error was:

#TRIGGER {You get (%d) gold coins.} {#VAR sgold {%eval(%1/%eval(%numitems(@plist)+1))};splitit} ^
