I was just wondering if it was possible to have four factions on a map at once. I mean, only two would be playable, but I don't know if there can be more than three sides on a map.

Edit: Whoops! Put this in the wrong forum. Staff, could you please move this to the BF2 modding forum?

Yep, when I get time tonight I'll post the Geonosis Uber lua, which does just that (REP, CIS, Geonosians and Jedi)

Ok, thanks. Is it also possible to have all 4 of them fight against each other, and is it also possible to give all four sides CPs?

Absolutely. I wouldn't advise making it a conquest game if you're going to have four teams capturing CPs, though. (Although it might be fun to try.)

Here's an example from one of my wave modes, which has seven teams (obviously not all against each other, but it's possible) running around at once: You can see how easy it is to set them up (and how they are allied with each other). All you need to do to get them to spawn from a CP is assign the CP to their team number. (Use the invisible CP for AI teams.)

Thank you! I'm still warming up to .lua code, but I get the gist of it.

And here's the Geonosis code:

I have a question, in the tutorial on the FAQ, it says something about setting a AI goal to Deathmatch.
Does this come in anywhere? Because I have tried to make a team, but they arent appearing in battle.

Edit: It's in Mav's but it isn't in Teancum's?

Mine's just a snippet of the code. I put all of my AddAIGoal() functions near the top. Sorry for the confusion.

Oh right, Thanks. I was just wondering.
Did you put it under:
function ScriptPostLoad()?

You can, but his and mine both come from ScriptInit() right under SetupTeams.
