Escaping when parsing

[Runakai1]

I am not entirely sure if this is an user error or something with skript.
Skript version: 2.5 alpha3
Mc: Paper 1.15.2

excaping | and () while parsing works and throws no error. The list is returning none, display name when debugging returns the correct name

Code:

command spawnentity:
	trigger:
		spawn a pig at player
		set display name of last spawned entity to "&b(&c&l!&b) &7[&6Level&7] &7| &c999"
	
command parse:
	trigger:
		set {_list::*} to display name of target parsed as "&b\(&c&l!&b\) &7[&6Level&7] &7\| &c%integer%"
		send "%{_list::*}%"

you have to escape the (, |, [ and ] as they have special meaning in skript patterns which is what you're making via the parse expr. is that what you are reporting? i'm a little confused

[Runakai1]

I am just bad at formatting my code correctly on github.. I am escaping ( and | as the error told me when i wasnt escaping it but the list is returning none. It didn't say to escape [ and parsed without errors

It's probably because the & characters aren't converted in syntax strings from the parse expression.

I removed the color codes and it is still returning none

command spawnentity:
	trigger:
		spawn a pig at player
		set display name of last spawned entity to "(!) [Level] | 999"
	
command parse:
	trigger:
		set {_list::*} to display name of target parsed as "\(!\) [Level] \| %integer%"
		send "%{_list::*}%"

Does (display name of target) parsed as "\(!\) \[Level\] \| %integer%" work?

It does. Maybe adding a warning to escape [ and ] would be handy

[FranKusmiruk]

Could you check whether the parse error expression shows that information?

I hope I used it correctly. I Used the code without escaping [ ] and with escaping it. Both didn't return anything however escaping [ and ] resulted in correct parsing as stated previously

command parse:
	trigger:
		set {_list::*} to (display name of target) parsed as "\(!\) [Level] \| %integer%"
		send "%{_list::*}%"
		send "%parse error%"

[Runakai1]

Is this being worked on?

You wouldn't really be able to add a warning for this, since the syntax \(!\) [Level] \| %integer% is valid, [] denoting an optional group.
For the colour codes, it could be an idea to first convert colour codes in the syntax string, before using it.
