I get this error and a ctd:

Hidden/Spoiler:

Message Severity: 3

C:\Battlefront2\main\Battlefront2\Source\LuaHelper.cpp(312)

CallProc failed: (none):0: attempt to compare nil with number

stack traceback:

	(none): in function `RandomSetupCIS'

	(none): in function `ScriptInit'

My guess is that I have to separate the math.random functions, but i'm not entirely sure how.

The error means that something you are using is not defined (so set to nil). Your script compares the value of "RandomSetup" many times -- but you don't define it. I'm guessing you forgot to replace it with either RandomSupport, RandomHeavy, RandomSpecial, and RandomOfficer, depending on the instance. Try fixing all the "if xxx and RandomSetup < xxx then" lines.

Exactly the issue (sort of), I actually noticed this myself, and changed it. This, however, still did not work, so I defined individual functions for each class, as can be seen in my new script:

end

end

It works quite well now, and you were spot on.
Though I may try it again without all the functions...

EDIT: yep, you don't have to separate them into separate functions (no RandomSupport() etc.)
