Is there an “OR” expression?
Hi everyone,
I’m not good with expressions, can anybody tell me if this is possible:
Basically, I have 5 Expression Controls checkboxes and 1 Layer with a mask.
I want to change it’s Mask Expansion value from 32 to 0 if either one of those checkboxes is checked.
Is it possible?

You use || for OR, like this:
if (effect(“Checkbox Control 1”)(“Checkbox”).value ||
effect(“Checkbox Control 2”)(“Checkbox”).value ||
effect(“Checkbox Control 3”)(“Checkbox”).value ||
effect(“Checkbox Control 4”)(“Checkbox”).value ||
effect(“Checkbox Control 5”)(“Checkbox”).value)
32
else

Works perfectly! Thanks a lot Dan!

Keep in mind that the expression language is essentially an extended form of JavaScript, so the answer that Dan gave you could be found in a JavaScript reference, like this:
