setowner command is broken

[Gamecube]

So i was using cheats, but i noticed that the setowner command is broken, i entered "setowner 452 GRE" but it said "invalid state id", what is causing this?

That doesn't seem to be a technical problem, so I moved it to the General Discussions.

According to http://www.hoi4wiki.com/Console_commands the syntax of that command is "setowner [country tag] [state id]", not "setowner [state id] [country tag]". So I'd assume that's why you ran into that problem.

Not obvious, but if you want to own a state: select state, then enter setowner [country tag]
Without state id.

I had the same problem and a different older thread said to use the op cmd, but that no longer works, and after 1 day goes by it all switches back to the original owner of the state so I accidentally just tried something new by clicking on soviet territory I opped and then did setowner ger 244 and it worked but then I saw it wasn't doing the ones I didn't have selected so then I selected and now I am happy I can set up my custom worlds with central power victories easier.

Thank you very much, this problem really pisses me off, so also the Internet is full of idiotic tips like the one from lukas, which is 100% likely in real looks like "🤓".

By the way, I can also add that to get rid of a lot of bugs in the game, after such commands are better to immediately save and load saving.
