blackmail_target_with_secret_effect is a scripted effect in Crusader Kings III, written at line 56 of its file. A call passes 2 parameters: SECRET and TARGET. The game's script calls it in 11 places, among them …: Opposition Research (event councillor_spouse_intrigue.1004), A Loose Tongue (event feast_lifestyle.2002) and Befriend: The Price of Trust (event befriend_outcome.8007). Patch 1.20.1.2, from game/common/scripted_effects/00_secret_effects.txt.

The comment above it in the file

adds a blackmail strong or weak blackmail hook for current scope against TARGET based on SECRET type
Always use with is_blackmailable_secret_trigger

What it does

  • If

    • $SECRET$ = { is_criminal_for = $TARGET$ }
    • can_add_hook = { target = $TARGET$ type = strong_blackmail_hook }

    Then

    • add_hook = { target = $TARGET$ type = strong_blackmail_hook secret = $SECRET$ }

    Else if

    • $SECRET$ = { is_shunned_for = $TARGET$ }
    • can_add_hook = { target = $TARGET$ type = weak_blackmail_hook }

    Then

    • add_hook = { target = $TARGET$ type = weak_blackmail_hook secret = $SECRET$ }

• the game's own tooltip text · ◦ our reading of the script line · code the script where neither exists

“They” is whatever it runs on (the scope it is called in). The scripted triggers and effects it calls link to their own pages; $PARAMETERS$ stay as written: each call fills them in.
