If you run deleteVehicle for every playable soldier, the AI units will be removed.
<code>deleteVehicle unit1</code>
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:
<code>[[unassignVehicle]] unit1<br/>
unit1 [[setPos]] [0,0,0]<br/>
deleteVehicle unit1</code>
''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.
<code>[[if]] ([[alive]] unit1) [[then]] {[[hint]]"He is alive"} [[else]] {[[hint]]"Oh no he's not"}</code>
