This is going to sound like a lot of work (cos you'll need to have it in the init-line, or as part of the spawn script for every unit ), but you'll probably have to add an event handler to every unit you want to delete. Straight from the comref:

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE"> object addEventHandler handler

Operand types:

object: Object

handler: Array

Compatibility:

Version 1.85 required.

Type of returned value:

Number

Description:

Format of handler is [type,command]. Check scripting topic Event handlers for more information. Index of currently added handler is returned.

Example:

player addEventHandler ["killed",{_this exec "playerKilled.sqs"}] <span id='postcolor'>

Play around with that a bit and it should help.

add a call to a script for each of your units you place.

[this] exec "cleanup.sqs"

where this is your unit you want to track.

then in cleanup.sqs watch if your unit has died, wait some delay, then deletevehicle that unit. You will have a copy of this script running for each unit but there's no looping looking what what is dead or alive this way.

The best way of doing this would be to use an eventhandler like MintyBoy suggested.

Add this eventhandler to the leader of each group:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> "_xaddEventHandler [""killed"",{_this exec "delete.sqs"}]" foreach units group this

Make a script file called delete.sqs:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

_unit = _this select 0

~10

deleteVehicle _unit

exit

Excuse my ignorance Red but l get a error when putting this in group leader's init. Where would l put the group leader's name ? Thank you

The problem was with the quote marks within the eventhandler, it should have looked like this:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">"_x addEventHandler [""killed"",{_this exec {delete.sqs}}]" foreach units group this
