Over riding two If/Else statements
I have a project which requires switching back and forth between 2 y-positions depending on the input data. Occasionally there is a need to manually adjust for a third line or special characters so I want to keep a ‘value’ option available to me.
I have set up with 2 check boxes connected to the y-position.
Each statement works individually but the second if/else statement seems to nullify the first
What am I missing?
Thanks
Line1 = (effect("Single Line Position")("Checkbox"))
Line2 = (effect("2 Line Position")("Checkbox"))if(Line1 == true)1666.5;
else value;if(Line2 == true)1582.5;
else value;______________________

You could combine them like this:
Line1 = effect(“Single Line Position”)(“Checkbox”).value;
Line2 = effect(“2 Line Position”)(“Checkbox”).value;if(Line1)1666.5
else if(Line2)1582.5
else valueNote that Line 1 will have priority if both checkboxes are checked.

You are Da Man.
Thanks. No matter how many tutorials I do, there is always something that escapes me.

A question….
Does the code: Line1 = effect(“Single Line Position”)(“Checkbox”).value;
Assume the .value is true? Is that a default for a boolean .value?
If not, don’t know how the further code : if(Line1)1666.5: knows that the box is checked.
I know other codes have default assumptions.
Thanks again for the help.

Yes, the value of a checkbox evaluates to true if checked, false if unchecked.

Sorry for bugging you again… I think I am a little confused about
if(Line1)1666.5
If the checkbox for the Line 1 variable is unchecked, it would be false.
Wouldn’t the above line then interpret that an unchecked box would result in 1666.5?
Essentially…
if(effect(“Single Line Position”)(“Checkbox”)==false)1666.5
Or does a false value simply ignore the statement?

If variable Line1 is false (corresponding checkbox unchecked), it skips the 1666.5 and moves to the else if part. If variable Line1 is true, it accepts 1666.5 as the result, and ignores the else if and else parts.

Thanks. That makes sense.
I appreciate your time and wisdom.
