	However if you were to lookup the class side of any of those men, it would obviously still return west. So there's no definitive way of determining their side, without tracking it or applying assumptions.

Dr Eyeball: killed EH, side, mixed sides

killed EH, side, mixed sides

+* Hi, regarding KilledEH... "If one or both are dead, you cannot reliably determine their true side. Even looking up their class side can be inaccurate in advanced cases, (like mixed joins)."
-----
+* It's already documented under [[side]]: "Once dead, a unit will be on the civilian side." Just try, side _deadBody returns civilian.
-Hi, regarding KilledEH... "If one or both are dead, you cannot reliably determine their true side. Even looking up their class side can be inaccurate in advanced cases, (like mixed joins)."
+By 'mixed join', I'm referring to the technique of changing the default side of a unit by having them join and be led by a person from another side of higher rank. Eg: 3 west infantry (with let's say private rank) grouped with 1 east officer with colonel rank with his 'presence' set to zero, will effectively make the 3 infantry men belong to side east. There is no command to determine that from a dead body.
-Really? Can you provide some illustration of these assertions as I'd liked to have a look at the issue too. Also, what do you mean by a 'mixed join'?

	:Definitely works! Even recently caused a script error in your trigger color selection (editor rev. 734), because somebody was deleting triggers inside the mission :D --[[User:Kronzky\|Kronzky]] 20:47, 1 October 2008 (CEST)

			* I have used it a few times - in my real-time Merlin editor, for IED's, objectives, etc in both SP & MP. It definitely disables the trigger and I have never seen a problem with it yet.

			I guess the confusing part is if you display a trigger in a format statement, it shows something like "276361: <NO SHAPE>", then even after you delete it, it still shows the same value although it has been disabled.

			I'm not sure what would happen if you attempt to manipulate it after that. Does it still exist as a disabled trigger in some usable form, or is it truly deleted.
