ck2-How do I destroy useless temple?

[ModsNewbie]

Hi, I am playing as King of Ireland and I just invaded France.

To my displeasure and great horror, I found out that idiot AI Charlemagne has been building two churches in Paris.

I want to create a mod that will enable me to destroy that useless extra church and build something else-like a castle or city.

How can I achive this? Please help!

You can write something like this in a new text file in the decisions directory :

settlement_decisions = {
    destroy_temple = {
        only_rulers = yes
        filter = realm_owned
        ai_target_filter = owned
        
        from_potential = {
            ai=no
            is_ruler = yes
        }
        
        potential = {
            holding_type = temple
        }
        
        allow = {
        }
        
        effect = {
            destroy_settlement = THIS
        }
        
        revoke_allowed = { always = no }
        ai_will_do = { factor = 0 }
    }
}

It create a settlement decision you can use by right clicking the coats of arms of the barony you want to destroy.

thanks for the swift reply. so just to be sure, if I want to destory any type of holding, do I just add holding_type = city and holding_type = castle under the potential section?

Yes, either with a different decision or you can set various type in potential, in a "OR" block

        potential = {
            OR = {
                holding_type = temple
                holding_type = castle
            }
        }
