Well, I don't know how temp. vars act, but I was talking about variables that won't exist in (as example) a function called by the function, like

function foo() {
foovar = "hello";
bar();
}

Now function bar shouldn't have access to foovar, yet it does and it is one big source for errors.
Like when you use some function someone else made, and it changes a variable you use in your function that calls this 3rd party function.

EDIT: A-hah, so temp. vars replace them Well, that answers my question, thanks very much.

Yes it can be confusing sometimes, but it was the only way in the old scripting engine to pass parameters to the called function so it cannot be just removed. It could be possible to add the possibility to modify the scope of variables by serveroptions may be, although it can be even more confusing if the same script works differently from server to server.
