How do I edit in a claim to a title?

[unmerged(19596)]

Specifically, I want to edit in a claim by the Seljuks to the King of Egypt title so they will go after them.

On another note, if I give the Seljuks a claim to Emperor of Byzantium, will they be more inclined to attack them? I know that claims on other religions are effectively useless for declaring war, but if it helps guide them to do it, I'll be happy.

title = {
	tag = FRAN
	tier = kingdom
	holder = {
		character = { type = 10 id = 55500 }
		startdate = {
			year = 1337
			month = january
			day = 0
		}
	}
	claim = { id = { type = 4712 id = 90000 }      
		  character = { type = 10 id = 54500 } 
	}
}

This is how it is done by Paradox. You would copy the claims section, put it into the Egypt title, find the ID of the King of Seljuks and put that id in the character ID section.

I was trying to do something similar to this, but one thing I'm unsure of. So the you have the character ID for the title holder and the char ID for the person with the claim on the title, but what is the other ID number? Does each claim just get its own ID number, or does that number refer to something else?

What I ended up doing was load the game as the character who I wanted to give the claim, then grabbing the title, saving the game, and copying the claim ID number from the saved game to the scenario_titles file.

for the other ID, go to the head of the savefile, look at something like this...

    optionfile = "scenarios\save games\autosave.eug.cfg" 
    id = { type = 4712 id = 1000000 }

put in the other ID slot for the claim an ID above the one in the code (1000000), and replace this with an higher number.

Example

this...

	claim = { id = { type = 4712 id = 1000001 }      
		  character = { type = 10 id = 54500 } 
	}

then this...

    optionfile = "scenarios\save games\autosave.eug.cfg" 
    id = { type = 4712 id = 1000002 }

From my 1066 titles file:

title = {
tag = FATI
tier = kingdom
holder = {
character = { type = 10 id = 3096 }
startdate = {
year = 1066
month = january
day = 0
}
}
claim = { id = { type = 4712 id = 500000 }
character = { type = 10 id = 3040 }
}

This doesn't work. What have I done wrong?

you're missing one of these } at the end
