Are there any commands to check for favours?

[Pancakelord]

So I'm trying to come up with a mod that will let the defender in a war use their favours over other empires to call those empires into the war (the more favours they hold, the higher the chance the other AI will say yes) - in exchange for "voiding" those favours and some influence cost.

However in the event file I am trying to find commands that will let me take the current empire and detect if it holds favours:

1. see if [country] holds any favours from anyone at all (if no, end event chain)
2. see which countries/countryIDs [country] holds favours over
3. see how many favours [country] holds for each respective country

Spent the little while searching for anything related to favours and I am turning up a blank.
Anyone know if some sort of "favour_count" or "empire_owes_target_favours" function exists?

I've copied in my event file and on action file below for reference.

On action file

Spoiler: [07_on_actions.txt] (calls 1st event)

# A war is beginning, executed for every country in the war.
# Root = Country
# From = War
on_war_beginning = {
    events = {
        WarfareFavoursMod.1 # Call the initial mod event when a war is declared.
    }
}

    ##STUFF FOR LATER

The three things related to favors listed in the trigger docs are num_favors (a check) add_favors (an effect) and remove_favors (another effect).

Thanks for that! ah ... they spell it the american way without a "U", explains why it didn't come up.

remove_favors is definitely useful for what i need, to clear expended favours
i'm not sure if num_favours could be used to see all favours the current AI owns, as it just checks against a specific country (I could cycle through and check every valid country ... but that really wont do wonders for performance).
