Have a trigger with the condition !alive vehicleName, where vehicleName is the name of the vehicle in question. You can put whatever code you like in the on Act box.

Nice Idea Thanks!

depending on the situation, this condition may also come in handy:

({alive _x} count crew [i]vehiclename[/i] == 0) 

sometimes AI dismount from a vehicle that was damaged, but not fully destroyed, so this condition is met if there's no alive unit in the given vehicle.

I'm still pretty new to SQF, how exactly would I use that bit of script? In a trigger Activation?

you can put that line in the condition field of a trigger. This is the easier option if you are not so comfortable with .sqf yet.

if you want to use this in a .sqf script (-> would have to be checked in a loop), it will have to look like this:

if ({alive _x} count crew [i]vehiclename[/i] == 0) then {[i]code to deduct cash from the player[/i]};

i would recommend you use the trigger option for starters, as the sqf version would need some further adjustments, like making sure the player's cash is only deducted once etc.
