trigger · num_fake_intel_divisions

Hands-On Usage

num_fake_intel_divisions is commonly used in spy/intelligence warfare-related mod scenarios, such as detecting whether a country has deployed enough fake divisions through its intelligence agency to trigger special events, decisions, or unlock hidden options. Typical applications include: when a country possesses sufficient ghost divisions, allowing it to execute deceptive strategic operations, or triggering counter-intelligence response events from opposing nations.

# In a decision's available block: check if this country controls enough fake intel divisions
available = {
    num_fake_intel_divisions > 2
}

Synergy

• [has_intelligence_agency](/wiki/trigger/has_intelligence_agency) → In practical scripting, it typically makes sense to first confirm the intelligence agency exists before checking fake division counts (note: use actual commands from the whitelist as replacements)
• [compare_intel_with](/wiki/trigger/compare_intel_with) — Used in conjunction with intelligence value comparisons, allowing you to construct multi-dimensional intelligence advantage logic, such as requiring both intelligence superiority and sufficient fake divisions simultaneously.
• [has_active_mission](/wiki/trigger/has_active_mission) — Fake divisions are typically generated by specific intelligence operation tasks; combined with checking whether a particular operation is active, this ensures conditions more accurately reflect the current intelligence warfare state.
• [add_intel](/wiki/effect/add_intel) — When fake division counts meet conditions, this can serve as a reward or penalty mechanism to increase or decrease intelligence values for target countries, forming a complete intelligence competition effect chain.

Common Pitfalls

1. Confusion about value direction: This trigger judges the number of fake divisions controlled by the current scope country; beginners often mistakenly think it refers to enemy or global counts, forgetting to switch to the correct country scope in multi-nation conflict scenarios, resulting in reversed condition logic.
2. Mixing with regular division count triggers: num_fake_intel_divisions counts deceptive fake divisions from intelligence operations, not actual deployed forces, and should not be conflated with real strength triggers like has_army_size or divisions_in_state, otherwise you may encounter bugs where conditions are always false or logic errors occur.
