deleteVehicle object


Operand types:

object: Object

Type of returned value:

Nothing

Compatibility:

Added in version 1.34

Description:

Delete any unit or vehicle.

Only vehicles inserted in editor or created during mission can be deleted.

Player unit cannot be deleted.


Example:

deleteVehicle tankOne


Comments:

(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.

( 2) If unit1 is a living unit that is currently located inside a vehicle then
deleteVehicle unit1
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:

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

(3) If you use deleteVehicle unit1 you cannot use unit1 later in commands like ? alive unit1 : hint "he's alive", it will probably cause a Crash to Desktop. So you have to ask ? isNull unit1 : exit before using any command (this goes especially for addon scripts).
