Changing variable value based on multiple conditions

[Kevin Snyder]

I’m trying to change the value of a variable based on four different conditions so that in each condition the value of the variable will be different. I’m trying the code below, but running into some errors. Is there a better way to tackle this?

if (myProp && !altKey)
{var myControl = myEffect + " " + myGroup + " " + "-" " " myLayerName}
else if (!myProp && altKey)
{var myControl = myEffect}
else if(!myProp && !altKey)
{var myControl = myEffect + " " + "-" " " myLayerName}
else if (myProp && altKey)
{var myControl = myEffect + " " + myGroup};

Hi, just so that I understand correctly: The four conditions HAVE to be based on the 2 different variables myProp and altKey and their different states? Can you share some more details why 1 variable wouldnt be enough?

You can’t have strings like that without + between them. Try this

if (myProp && !altKey) {
var myControl = myEffect + " " + myGroup + " " + "-" + " " + myLayerName;
} else if (!myProp && altKey) {
var myControl = myEffect;
} else if (!myProp && !altKey) {
var myControl = myEffect + " " + "-" + " " + myLayerName;
} else if (myProp && altKey) {
var myControl = myEffect + " " + myGroup;
}
