Checking parentheses
 
Ok, weapons in a mud have a description like this:
(Zion Made) A mythical, Adamantium battle axe is no longer a blade of fate.

Here's the problem, I try to do a trigger, but the () is messing it up and Zmud isn't recognizing it or is trying evaluate or something. Anyone know how to fix this?

You need to use an escape character. Parentheses are usually used in a trigger pattern to assign what is between the parentheses into variables %1-%99:

Pattern: ~(Zion Made~) A mythical, Adamantium battle axe is no longer a blade of fate.
