Checking mobilization options from the battle scope

[MoralMonster]

Hi everyone. I want to make a small mod for myself which will add some special battle conditions that will trigger for attacker/defender army if it has activated certain mobilization options. I know that previously it was possible and some modmakers did things like thas. But after Paradox reworked warfare and introduced military formations, I don't know how to implement it. Would be grateful for any help.

Looking at a few different files, there is a scoping option commander_military_formation which comes from the commander/character scope and that can then use the mobilization trigger.

So something like

scope:character = {
    commander_military_formation = {
        has_mobilization_option = mobilization_option:mobilization_option_flamethrowers
    }
}

Thank you. And how can I check if the formation has a certain combat unit type?

There are several examples through the files, if you search for "unit_type" you'll find some

For example, in the vanilla battle conditions file there is formation_navy_unit_type_fraction and there is a similar one with "army" instead of "navy".

There is another scope trigger any_combat_unit that might work.

P.S. If you use Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code (or a similar program), you can search through the entire game folder for terms, which makes it somewhat easier to find examples of script that might do what you want. I use both programs and that's how I found these terms.
