<dd class="note">''Notes from before the conversion:''
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>

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.<br>
To circumvent this limitation, [[Armed_Assault:_Actions_List#Eject|eject]] the unit first, before deleting it.

<dd class="note">Deleting a vehicle that has units in it can (but not always will) cause some weird bugs, for example "locking" the unit in freelook mode making it unable to turn or use the action menu, or leave "ghosts" of vehicle crew members if those were deleted after the vehicle deletion (deleting the crew before the vehicle works, as in the above example).
