stop execution when you click "Run the current line or selection"

In RStudio, is there a way to stop the execution of your script in case you execute a selection?

My problem is that most of "my users" love to select the whole script and click "Run the current line or selection (Ctrl+Enter)" instead of sourcing the script.

I have some stop commands inside my script, to stop execution and warn the user what is wrong. But selecting everything and running, the script will just continue. Is there a way around this, to force the ongoing execution to stop?

just a minimal example:

if(TRUE) stop('stop here')
print('continue')

I guess it is easier to explain people not to execute the selection but sourcing, but this anyhow often happens in my working group.

You can add {}for all project like :

{if(TRUE)  stop('stop here')
print('continue')
}

than Ctrl+A Ctrl+Enter

give you 

> {if(TRUE) 
+   stop('stop here')
+ 
+ print('continue')
+ }
Error: stop here
