| Returns [[true]] if [[sleep]], [[uiSleep]] or [[waitUntil]] commands can be used in current scope. Usually when suspension is not allowed but used, for example when code is executed in [[Scheduler#Unscheduled_Environment|unscheduled environment]], the script engine would ignore any suspension command and throw error: "Suspending not allowed in this context".

{{Feature | Informative |The definition of [[Scheduler#Scheduled_Environment|scheduled]] and [[Scheduler#Unscheduled_Environment|unscheduled environment]] is not the same as whether or not the script execution can or cannot be suspended. For example while .''sqs'' and .''fsm'' scripts are [[Scheduler#Scheduled_Environment|scheduled]] (i.e. added to the [[Scheduler|scheduler]]: [[diag_activeSQSScripts]], [[diag_activeMissionFSMs]]), they cannot use [[sleep]] or be suspended like [[execVM]] or [[spawn]] scripts can, therefore [[canSuspend]] for these types of scripts will return [[false]]. }} | |||
