How to detect if its loop or not.

[AntiFros]

For example:

While 1
Sleep(100)
check()
Sleep(100)
check()
Sleep(100)
check()
Sleep(100)
check()
Sleep(100)
exitloop
Wend

Func check()
If "loop" then
exitloop
Else
anotherfunc()
Endif
Endfunc

What is the sense of this? If you check inside a loop, if it's a loop, the result is everytime true.

While 1

Since it's a 1, it's always going to be inside a loop, unless you call ExitLoop.

You won't be able to exitloop inside of a function (unless you specifically have a loop in your function).

You can return a boolean from the function, which can conditionally exit the loop with an if then statement.

Currently, your 'loop' is technically not a loop, since you ALWAYS exit after calling the function 4 times...you might as well just have the four function calls

Example

Global $i = 0
Global $iMax = 4

While True
    Sleep(100)
    If check() Then
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
Wend
ConsoleWrite("Loop is completed" & @CRLF)


Func check()

    If $i = $iMax Then
        Return True
    Endif
    $i+=1
    ConsoleWrite("Will continue the loop" & @CRLF)
    Return False
Endfunc

oh, your real question is how to see if you are calling your function from inside the loop, while inside the function...no, that can not be done, through a command, but can be done through logic, and default params, like such:

While True
    check(True)
    ExitLoop
Wend
check()
ConsoleWrite("Loop is completed" & @CRLF)
Func check($bInsideLoop = False)
    If $bInsideLoop Then
        ConsoleWrite("Function called from INSIDE a loop" & @CRLF)
    Else
        ConsoleWrite("Function called from OUTSIDE a loop" & @CRLF)
    EndIf
Endfunc
