Be aware that spawning this function will set enableSaving to true. Quick workaround: _savingEnabled = savingEnabled; _handle = [player, "myText"] spawn BIS_fnc_establishingShot; waitUntil { scriptDone _handle }; enableSaving [_savingEnabled, false]; Or, if you can't wait the end of the establishing shot: _savingEnabled = savingEnabled; _handle = [player, "myText"] spawn BIS_fnc_establishingShot; _handle spawn { waitUntil { scriptDone _this }; enableSaving [_savingEnabled, false]; };

In order to change the camera to TI or NVG mode execute the following right after BIS_fnc_establishingShot was spawned. true setCamUseTI 1; The effect will automatically be terminated once the establishing shot ended.
