Notes from before the conversion:

If you run deleteVehicle for every playable soldier, the AI units will be removed.

deleteVehicle unit1

will result in some very strange, and unwelcome, things happening.

A safer way to delete unit1 if it is, or might be, inside a vehicle is:

unassignVehicle unit1
unit1 setPos [0,0,0]
deleteVehicle unit1

This is because you cannot call deleteVehicle on a unit (soldier) who's currently inside a Vehicle.

The line below works just fine for units that have been deleted.

if (alive unit1) then {hint"He is alive"} else {hint"Oh no he's not"}

Units in vehicles cannot be deleted.
It doesn't matter whether it's the default crew (e.g. {driver car1}), or a unit that has been placed into a vehicle (e.g. {unit1 moveInCargo car1; deleteVehicle unit1}). In either case the unit will stay alive and visible in its position.
To circumvent this limitation, eject the unit first, before deleting it.

In Arma 2 deleting units in vehicles work. Trigger with the code below will remove APC, crew and the group that is moveincargo'd. {deletevehicle _x} foreach crew (thislist select 0); deletevehicle (thislist select 0);
