triggers that match only with a predefined variable

I successfully assign variable target to Player1
What I'd like to do is only match a trigger when Player1 is acting.

my trigger looks like this
^(@target) swings up into a tree\.$
I'd like it to fire only when Player1 swings up an noone else. Where do I go wrong? Its works when I use CTRL+SHIFT+F12 and the name used is only what I've assigned as the target. But tromping around the forest with my assigned target swinging up into and down from trees the trigger doesn't match.

Thank You very much.

erm. FAQ 22. Ill take the () off @target and test it out
