ok i realize that the syntax for #T+ is Syntax: #T+ classname/id [type]
but since there are no examples that include all of the options i havent a clue if the / is there or the []....

at any rate this is what im trying to do,
I have an alarm reenable my eat herb aliases after a certain period of time, but also if i eat an herb, i want to turn off the alarm trigger, because the condition the alarm was waiting for was satisfied. The problem is...since i use

Maybe this will sound just to basic, but what if you put that alarm in a Class folder and just enable disable it with the #T+ #T- syntax

Specifying the type will solve your immediate problem, keep in mind that alarms are special kind of trigger.
#T- my_trivial_alarm_name trigger

I would suggest that if you are going to use #T- with the alarm you make it static instead of temporary.

Or, just untrigger the alarm, since you'll be creating it again next time you need it anyway, instead of disabling it.

To piggyback a question on the same topic, is there a way to have the #T work on either a folder OR a command?
like if I have a folder called Quest and an trigger ID'd as Quest. Can you tell #T WHICH one to turn off? I know the easy way is NOT to have a folder AND a trigger with the same name, but that's not always an easy thing when importing codes and forgetfullness :-)

Oh, and as a side note: if you have a folder/trigger named with a space, as in, Quest Triggers you can put "'s around the text like this:
#T+ "Quest Triggers"
Just something I learned the other day when i was cleaning up my folders and renaming them and putting spaces without thinking :-)

Your question was already answered, DeathDealer. You need to specify the TYPE in the #T+ or #T- command:

#T+ Quest class
#T- Quest trigger

This will cause ZMud to only look at the specified type of setting, instead of accidentally turning off the wrong item.

bleh, yer right. thought that it had said #T- my_trivial_alarm_name_trigger
Also correctly reading the help file "In case of name conflicts, you can specify the type of setting (alias, trigger, macro, button, path, variable, status, class, speed) to search for. " shoulda made it damned obvious to me Embarassed
