(1) Since this function will not delete a player unit, a useful multiplayer application is the removal of AI created by players leaving the game.  If you run '''deleteVehicle''' for every playable soldier, the AI units will be removed.

'''deleteVehicle''' ''unit1''<br>
[[Category:Scripting Commands Arma 3|{{uc:{{PAGENAME}}}}]]
will result in some very strange, and unwelcome, things happening.  A safe way to delete ''unit1'' if it is, or might be, inside a vehicle is:

[[Category:Command_Group:_Object_Manipulation|{{uc:{{PAGENAME}}}}]]
[[unassignVehicle]] ''unit1''<br>
''unit1'' [[setPos]] [0,0,0]<br>
'''deleteVehicle''' ''unit1''
 
(3) If you '''deleteVehicle''' ''unit1'' you cannot use ''unit1'' later in commands like '''? alive''' ''unit1'' ''': hint "he's alive"''', it will cause a Crash to Desktop. So you have to ask '''? isNull''' ''unit1'' ''': exit''' before using any command (this goes especially for addon scripts).
