Using the Editor (multiplayer attributes), unchecking "enable AI" in lobby, will make playableUnits as a public variable, updated by each JIP.
On the other hand, be aware that non-played (playable) units simply don't exist!
i.e. If you name 8 playable units: u1..to u8, then 2 players in game: u3 & u6
playableUnits will return [u3,u6], and true for isNil "u1", isNil "u2"... until another player takes the slot.
