War = x & war_with = x in effects?

[Wave]

According to Descartes' mod guide where triggers and effects are listed you can use war_with = x as effect, in events for example.

Has anyone ever done this? I've been fighting with it for 2 hours now and haven't got it working.

Casus belli works with

casus_belli = from
from = {
casus_belli = THIS

But war_with doesn't seem to do anything anywhere.

If it is important to know this event I'm doing works in two parts, first your neighbor has event which triggers another on you and you should then end up at war with them.

This is IMO nicer way because then you'll have some idea why you suddenly are at war instead of single event and then war without telling to other side.

Could that actually be the problem? Both sides need to have war_with to make it work?

PS. Typos (if you find some) are due typing with crappy phone

Little update:

I've managed to find out something. You must have both of them to make anything happpen so the code looks like

war = yes
war_with = x

Unluckily I haven't found out what to put on x's place. If you use
war_with = {
any_neighboring_country = {
government = tribal
}
}
You'll have crash to desktop.

I also tried the same thing Ijtzoi used with casus belli in brython mod,

war = yes
war_with = from
from = {
war_with = THIS
relation = { who = THIS value = -150 }
}
(simply copied the original totally working code and replaced 'casus belli' with 'war_with')
But in game the message says "declare war on relation change (-150) between . and you" so it doesn't work either.

I'm running out of ideas soon and I'd be happy to hear if someone knows or has a guess how to do it.

You have the right idea, I'm on my phone so I can't check anything right now but I don't think you need the war=x line.

The FROM tag works a little differently. It works like a THIS tag, but refers to a country that received an event that triggered your current event, meaning you'd need to write a second event for the country you want to go to war with, and that'd need to trigger this event.

It'd be far easier to change the scope to the country you want to war with in the effect, and then use war_with = THIS.

Sorry, that's the best answer I can give without access to my computer for a specific example.

I can't actually explain what I just learnt from that sentence but it really gave me light bulb above my head Thank you.

I tested that but still I haven't got war_with = x working alone (see the code box below). It seems that war = yes makes the message say "Declare war on ." but I still need to find the way to tell the comp which nation I want to declare war on.

Here was the try to make other country declare war against me.

random_country = {
			limit = {
				neighbour = THIS
				government = tribal
				NOT = { alliance_with = THIS }
			}
			war_with = THIS
		}
