	sleep 1;
};

Thank you good sir

For the newbies like myself; where does one add this? In the Mission Config.cpp file, under CfgExileCustomCode and place the SQF in the mission?

I have mine under Exile.Namalsk\Scripts\disablethermal.sqf
Then in the init.sqf I have [] execVM "Scripts\disablethermal.sqf";

I have tested this script and it doesn't stop players from spamming "N" to quickly change between vision options.

An updated version of the above script, to utilise Exiles threading system

thermalsOffline = 
{ 
	if (currentVisionMode player == 2) then
	{
		_layer = 85125; 
		_launchers =["launch_O_Vorona_brown_F","launch_O_Vorona_green_F","launch_I_Titan_short_F","launch_O_Titan_short_F","launch_B_Titan_short_F","launch_Titan_short_F","launch_Titan_F","launch_O_Titan_F","launch_I_Titan_F","launch_B_Titan_F","HMG_static","Laserdesignator","Laserdesignator_02","Laserdesignator_03"];

			_layer	cutText ["FLIR Mode Disabled. Please Turn off Thermals.","BLACK FADED",999];
			waituntil {currentVisionMode player != 2};
			_layer cutText ["", "PLAIN"];
		}
		else
		{
			if (alive (getConnectedUAV player)) then		
			{
				["ErrorTitleOnly", ["Thermal Imaging OFFLINE"]] call ExileClient_gui_toaster_addTemplateToast;
				_layer cutText ["FLIR Mode Disabled. Please Turn off Thermals.","BLACK FADED",999];
				waituntil {currentVisionMode player != 2};
				_layer cutText ["", "PLAIN"];
			}
			else
			{
				vehicle player disableTIEquipment true;
			};
		};	
	};
};
[
	0.1,
	thermalsOffline,
	[],
	true,
	false
]
call ExileClient_system_thread_addTask;

 

and just call it from initPlayerLocal, no need to run it in init (client and server)

call compileFinal preprocessFileLineNumbers "DisableThermal.sqf";
