Battlefront II Mission LUA Guide wrote:The SetupTeams sections will determine a few things. The team specifies which team the team being defined is (1 or 2) which gets it’s value REP from the variable that we defined above. If you recall, we defined REP = 1, therefore, the first team we set up here will be team 1. units = 20 specifies that there will always be 20 units on the field at any given time. You can play with these values if you want to have a huge battle, but be careful, as this will create much more strain on your system. The PC should be able to handle a pretty big load though. 64 on 64, or even higher should be pretty easily doable.

Reinforcements = 150 specifies that there will be 150 reinforcements. These values do not have to be the same for each side, so if you want to start out one team with some kind of disadvantage, you can offset that by giving that side more reinforcements for example. The other lines should be pretty self-explanatory. These specify which units will occupy which slots in the character carousel. You could (if desired) make one of your units a hero that is always available to any player.

The numbers in these lines define min and max numbers for these units. For example, we have 20 units total on the play field. The soldier unit is set to 9 min and 25 max. What this means is that there will ALWAYS be 9 soliders on the field, 1 rocketeer, 1 engineer, 1 sniper, 1 officer, and 1 jet trooper. The second number sets the max, so there will never be MORE than 25 soldiers, 4 rocketeers, 4 engineers, etc. The minimums are filled up first, and then the the game will fill up to the max’s randomly until the 20 unit maximum units on the field is hit. You should never have you minimums exceed your total number of units allowed on the field (in this example, the minimums would never be set to more than 20 in total.)

SetupTeams{
rep = {
team = REP,
units = 20,
reinforcements = 150,
soldier = { "rep_inf_ep3_rifleman",9, 25},
assault = { "rep_inf_ep3_rocketeer",1, 4},
engineer = { "rep_inf_ep3_engineer",1, 4},
sniper = { "rep_inf_ep3_sniper",1, 4},
officer = {"rep_inf_ep3_officer",1, 4},
special = { "rep_inf_ep3_jettrooper",1, 4},

Let's start with this, for the last question. As for the original post, I believe there are threads (I vaguely recall at least one) dealing with human players taking an AI player's spot somewhere on the forums. Perform a search and see what you can find.
