Inside a custom function, how can you know if noop is enabled ?

[Frédéric Lespez]

Hi,

Inside a manifest, you can know if noop is enabled thanks to the $clientnoop variable[1].
But inside a custom function, how can you know it ?

For now, I added a parameter to my function in order to send the value $clientnoop. But it is not very elegant.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance for your help.
Fred

$clientnnop is a fact [1]
You can access facts from functions e.g. by using lookupvar(‘clientnoop’) [2]
