I have put a script and some actions into a button. The script is in the first place of the actions order. What I like to do is to stop the actions for this button if the script finds some conditions which I check within an if statement.

Is there a command like stop() or break() or something which stops the script and prevents that the following actions are executed?

Thanks in advance for any hint.

Put the subsequent actions in an If action, dependent on a variable set in the script checking.

Put the following between script lines
break
or
return


Cheers

I'm afraid neither of those will work in this case - or indeed at all in the way you seem to be suggesting.
break provides a way to escape early from a loop (i.e. for or while loops). return returns a value from a function. Calling either outside of those uses will result in undefined behaviour and will not prevent any subsequent Opus actions being called. Script cannot directly affect standard actions; only by interaction with page/global variables.

Hello Tarantoga,

here's my view on your issue:

You currently have :

Script
{ bla bla bla
}
Action 1 (e.g. show image1)
Action 2 (e.g. show image2)

So everytime the button is pressed, all the above are executed.
You need the following:
Script
{bla bla bla
but if a condition is met
then stop here
}
Action 1 (not executed)
Action 2 (not executed)


What I would do is:

Script
{bla bla bla
if condition is met (e.g. if x=2)
then set variable actionstop = true
}

If actionstop = false then
Action 1
Action 2
Else (nothing)

I think that this was suggested by Duncan Lilly, only I elaborated a bit!

Hope I got it right!

Thank you very much for your suggestions.

I think a stop command for all actions could be useful. Maybe this is an idea for the wishlist?

Thanks again.
