Multiple visibility states using double lookup, not working.

I am attempting to create a dynamic block simulating multiple visibility parameters using a double lookup.

 

The dynamic block is a custom keynote based on the needs of the client.  There is a large combination of visibility states, whether there is 0-4 arrows on the left and 0-4 errors on the right, and any combination of the two.  I am 90% of the way there, except when I select from the left side the condition doesn't change until I change the selection on the right side even though the default "0" value is what I want.  Can anyone please help!  I am new to creating dynamic blocks.

 

Thank you!

David

You are using Position1 as an input parameter for the Lookup22 (input table of the double lookup).  The as-drawn value of an input parameter must match a row on the double lookup.  That row must match the default visibility state (topmost row in the dialog).  You have 0L 0R as the default visibility state.  In order to match that row on the double lookup, the X,Y base positions for Position1 should be 0,0.  With it moved to 0,0 the visibility states work fine.  

 

I would mention that you might want the arrow that is shown in the 1 states to also appear in the 2 state.  It seems likely that someone will place the 1 arrow and then realize they want 2 arrows instead only to have the arrow they already placed disappear and be replaced with two new ones.

I have another question on a different block, but similar idea.

 

I am working on a dynamic block that has (4) components to it. The first one has (2) visibility states, the next has (3), the next has (3) and the last has (4), leaving me 72 combinations... not to mention there are (2) possible heights. Is there a way to accomplish this without having to create 72 visibility states?  I would also like a stretch action on the middle portion.

 

Please see attached.


Thank you!
