'must' in conditionals

We can use modals like 'should' 'would' and 'will' in the subordinate clause of a conditional sentence that refers to the future.

I.e. If it happens (then), you will/would/should leave

Can we use modal 'must' in a conditional sentence in the same way?

I.e. If it happens (then), you must leave.

Or do we have to use 'will have/need to' instead?

I.e. If it happens, you will have/need to leave.
