How to turn off thermals... ?

[BL1P 35]

How do you turn off thermals on ALL weapons and Items ?

I have used the DisableTIEquiment on vehicles created in the mission, but cant seem to figure out how to disable the Titans and the laser desigators thermals for example.

Ideally would like to Globally disable the ability to use all thermals in the mission.

Yours hopefully.

Just remove the weapons.

Just remove the weapons.

I thought about that, But I would like to keep the weapons but without the thermals.

Not without a replacement AddOn.

Just removing the weapons from your mission is the easy and realistic way.

ANd I think not many people will try to scan the area with the termal scope of an Titan :D

What a shame then :(

By the way I have seen players using the thermals on an empty titan just to scan an area for player infantry.

This is the Solution I am using atm.

init.sqf

execVM "naughtyThermal.sqf";

naughtyThermal.sqf

_layer = 85125; 

while {true} do 
{ 
if (currentVisionMode player == 2) then
	{ 
	  	//hint "Thermals are active";
		_layer	cutText ["FLIR Mode Requires Maintenance. Please Turn off Thermals.","BLACK",-1];
		waituntil {currentVisionMode player != 2};
		_layer cutText ["", "PLAIN"];
	};
	sleep 1; 
}

If I could do SetcurrentVisionMode player that would be better :/

Thanks Yink.

Thanks to BL1P for the kickstart with the script - I have made some changes to restrict certain items completely and cripple others ...

This all works great , however the player can change his view distance once zoomed in and retain that range until the next time he uses the thermals. I need to put a loop somewhere that checks if the player is still in thermal mode and apply the view distance settings ...

any help appreciated to refine this ;)
