Control opacity with multiple checkbox selections
Hello,
I am doing language versioning and I have been using this expression for controlling which text will be shown for which language https://i.imgur.com/puIGXzB.png
if(comp(“Language”).layer(“Language”).effect(“EN”)(“Checkbox”)==0) 0 else 100;
But now I need particular text to be shown only in some languages but not in others.
How can I extend this expression to include only languages I need. For example, I want to show it when my checkbox is on EN, DE, ES but not show on other ones?
Thank you.

Hi!
If I understand correctly your issue is to show only one language at a time- so I suggest a different approach:
Use dropdown menu (expression control) that contains the languages and using the sourceText of the text layer with a switch/case expression to select the correct text content according to the dropdown selection.
This way you will only need to use and code one layer.
Cheers!

Hi Liran, thanks for anwer.
But no, with a current expression and set up I can just choose language and it will show all my text that has this expression for the chosen language.
My issue is how to show 1 text layer in some languages, and not in others.
I can duplicate this text couple of times and just apply this expression for each language, but I want to do it on one text layer if possible.
Also, I have no idea what switch/case expression is and how to do it.
The thing is most of the text layers have different positions and sizes etc, so I can’t just use one text layer to show each text, need to have a separate text layer for each text and each Language.
This method I am using works great for me. I just need to figure out how to do what I need. -
Like this
if EN,DE,ES is checked show this layer, else (don’t show it), simple as that. Just need to extend the current expression to include this or make a new one -
Like this maybe:
L = comp("Language").layer("Language");
cb1 = L.effect("EN")("Checkbox").value;
cb2 = L.effect("DE")("Checkbox").value;
cb3 = L.effect("ES")("Checkbox").value;
cb1 || cb2 || cb3 ? 100 : 0
