can_appoint_char_to_court_position

The comment above it in the file

IMPORTANT: This should be used before most instances of appoint_court_position - CU
Checks that you can employ a specific character to a specific court position at a given moment. This prevents errors from randomly trying to already hire the holder of that court position in some cases.
Trigger should be used in the scope of the hiring liege
$COURT_POS$ is the position to which you want to appoint a character
$CHAR$ is the character you wish to appoint

What it checks

• 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.

can_appoint_char_to_court_position = {
	save_temporary_scope_as = hiring_liege

		can_employ_court_position_type = $COURT_POS$
		employs_court_position = $COURT_POS$
