Apologies if this stuff is super obvious but I haven’t found any documentation that explains how to get around the newly added executeAsModal.

The code below worked as expected in API1 but after adding the await exeModal(() =\> {} around the batchplay i’m not sure how get feed the result to the if statement after

```auto
const exeModal = require('photoshop').core.executeAsModal;

   //Checks to see if the layer has a mask
   async function checkMask(layer) {

     layer = app.activeDocument.activeLayers[0].name

      await exeModal(() => {

      const result = batchPlay(
         [
            {
               "_obj": "get",
               "_target": [
                  {
                     "_property": "hasUserMask"
                  },
                  {
                     "_ref": "layer",
                     "_name": layer
                  },
               ],
            }
         ], {
      });
      console.log(result[0].hasUserMask)
   }) //<-- how to get result outside the exeModal?

      if (result[0].hasUserMask == true) {
         await deleteUserMask();
      } else {
         return
      }
}

```
