Three possibilities in order they should be executed next time...
1) Search the forums
2) Read the CreateUnit tutorial
3) Ask Mr.Peanut

Code: [Select]

"xxxx" createUnit [_pos,_grp,{BOBs=this ; this addEventHandler ["killed",{_this exec "enemykill.sqs"}]},0.5,"PRIVATE"]
If the script "enemykill.sqs" or "isdead.sqs" or whatever you call it

Code: [Select]

_this select 0 will be the dead unit.

I just took a look at my code above and saw an extra double quote. I have removed it from post above. Try again.
