I used to use a way to designate a target that i can not get to work now after the upgrade and it ate my settings.
This is what i THINK it was

#Alias t @target=%1
#Variable target <no comments>

all i get now is syntax error in the compiled code window
what did i do wrong?

#Alias t target=%1

You assign variables with variable=val, not @variable=val
It was possible the 2nd way in zMUD, though not correct. It's only used in CMUD for indirect variable assignment, which it doesn't look like you need here.

CMud is much more strict about syntax then zMud was. First you should use braces correctly around the script parameter for the #ALIAS. Second using an @variable is generally not what you want when assigning a value to a variable.

#ALIAS t {target=%1}
