Message boxes can be force-closed with: uiNamespace setVariable ["BIS_fnc_guiMessage_status", false];

Calling this function can cause an game crash. When doing this you have to spawn the function or add an spawn around it so you can use the result: [] spawn { private _result = ["Are you sure?", "Confirm", true, true] call BIS_fnc_guiMessage; // Use _result here };

NOTE: This function only exists along with mission display (findDisplay 46). If this function is called before with -skipIntro parameter enabled (see Arma 3: Startup Parameters) it will result as Void.
