Multiple IF statements syntax question
Can anyone help with some IF statement syntax? No errors are shown, but this just doesn’t seem to work, to control whether an object comes in from left, top, right or bottom based on a slider (1-4):
if (comp("ObjectControl").layer("Control").effect("Direction")("Slider")==1) {
horiz=3050}
if (comp("ObjectControl").layer("Control").effect("Direction")("Slider")==3) {
horiz=-3050}
if (comp("ObjectControl").layer("Control").effect("Direction")("Slider")==2) {
vert=2550}
if (comp("ObjectControl").layer("Control").effect("Direction")("Slider")==4) {
vert=-2550}
else{
horiz=0
vert=0
}[easeOut(time,inPoint,inPoint+1, value[0]+horiz, value[0]),ease(time,inPoint,inPoint+1,value[1]+vert,value[1])]
I’m sure it’s the IF statements, as using:
horiz=3050;
vert=2250;
[easeOut(time,inPoint,inPoint+1, value[0]+horiz, value[0]),ease(time,inPoint,inPoint+1,value[1]+vert,value[1])]achieves a result, albeit just one of the four I need.

i think you want to use else if… but you’re also missing some semicolons at the end of each line.
if (comp("ObjectControl").layer("Control").effect("Direction")("Slider")==1) horiz=3050;
else if (comp("ObjectControl").layer("Control").effect("Direction")("Slider")==3) horiz=-3050;
else if (comp("ObjectControl").layer("Control").effect("Direction")("Slider")==2) vert=2550;
else if (comp("ObjectControl").layer("Control").effect("Direction")("Slider")==4) vert=-2550;
else{
horiz=0;
vert=0;
}[easeOut(time,inPoint,inPoint+1, value[0]+horiz, value[0]),ease(time,inPoint,inPoint+1,value[1]+vert,value[1])]

I think I’d do it like this:
horiz=0;
vert=0;
d = comp("ObjectControl").layer("Control").effect("Direction")("Slider").value;
if (d==1) horiz=3050
else if (d==3) horiz = -3050
else if (d==2) vert = 2550
else if (d==4) vert = -2550;
offset = easeOut(time,inPoint,inPoint+1, [horiz,vert],[0,0]);
value + offset

Many thanks, Dan. This code worked a treat!

Thanks for taking a look, Kevin.
This gave me an expression error, unfortunately. Though, Dan has supplied a re-write (below) which works.

Hello there
I want to use multiple if with a checkbox controller. when the first checkbox is checked, first if works.
for the second checkbox, I have another if statement.
and finally, for the third checkbox, I will have another if statement.
How can I do this kind of expression?
