Notes

Note that this way of removing elements from an array will not work if those elements are themselves arrays. Example: [[0,0,0],[1,1,1],[2,2,2] ] - [1,1,1] Will not remove the element [1,1,1] from the first array. A more practical example: [ getPos unit1, getPos unit2, getPos unit3] - getPos unit3 Will not remove the position of unit3 from the first array.
