Use the count command for this.  Put the following code in your trigger's condition field:

"alive _x" count units grp1 < 1

THis counts how many units in grp1 are alive, and if that number is less than 1 (i.e., 0--all are dead), then the trigger will be activated.

 Another thing you can do is: create a trigger, then group it to the leader of the group you'll be checking whether they're alive or not. Re-open the trigger, and where the 'None' box is, you should instead get 'vehicle'. Click on this box and select 'All group members', 'Not Present'. You'll get the exact same affect, without using code. Hope this helps!

Another alternative is the countside command. This command is life specific (ie. it doesn't count dead dudes).

So the condition:

West countside units group == 0

Can be used when you want a trigger to go off when all members of a group are dead ;)
