controlling teamcity steps using powershell

I have the following scenario.

I have 5 build steps in teamcity for a project . I want 5th step to be executed only if the branch is master. The team city process should exit without executing 5th step if the branch is not master. Is it something I can achieve through powershell?

I think the only way to do this is to have a powershell step as step 5 which simply checks the current branch (%teamcity.build.branch%) and errors if its not master, then have the step that you want to run which is currently step 5 as step 6.

Team city doesn't always like to fail if the powershell steps fail, especially in versions before the current one.

To get around this we use the as the source script, but it assumes the script you want to run is in source control:

& "%teamcity.build.checkoutDir%\Path\To\PowershellScript.ps1" "%teamcity.build.checkoutDir%" 
Write-Host "The result was of the previous script was " $LASTEXITCODE
Exit $LASTEXITCODE

The linked answer contains more options depending on which version you are using, so I'll assume you can find exactly how to get a failure to stop the build there.
