deleteVehicle

Description

Deletes an object. Only objects inserted in the mission editor and objects created during the game's progress can be deleted by this command. Terrain objects and players cannot be deleted.

Note
The actual object deletion, when the object becomes objNull, happens on the next frame after command execution, but there are some object modifications that happen immediately. For example if the object is a unit in a group, it immediately becomes groupless (isNull group _unit; // true).
