However some items in the face plate need more than one condition for their visibility. For example a button cant be visible unless the PLC 'auto' bit is on. I tried it with a faceplate script, but internal tags cant be used in an internal script, which is just silly. I tried to extend the external visibility bit to an array length of 5 to allow for some external bits to use in the internal scripting, but cant attach an internal data type to a bool tag with more than 1 array length. Doeas anyone have any internal scripting ideas for face place visibility in this way? Thanks!

The sample script to set the tag with two conditions are, IF condition 1 = true & condition 2 = true... THEN SET TAG "visibility tag" ELSE RESET TAG"visibility tag" END IF.

Siemen-Stains Posts: 101 Rating: (0)	Im not sure if I explained clearly enough.....I will try to explain in a different manner; My face plate is used like a popup, for example if you click on a 'valve' graphic, it sets an internal tag 'true' the faceplate uses this in the property interface to set all the face plate visibility attributes 'visible' HOWEVER, some items in the faceplate also rely on PLC conditions to be visible, BUT the visibility atribute of any item can only have one tag assigned to it. Therefore the visibility tag of some items need to be conditioned in script with multiple conditions for visibilty. None of the PLC visibility conditions should be active unless the popup visibility is enabled. EG If "Visibility tag from graphic click" = true AND "PLC auto on" = true THEN "Faceplate internal bool visibility tag" = TRUE I want then to use "Faceplate internal bool visibility tag" as my visibility tag, but cant because face plate internal tags dont seem to work in faceplate scripts. Hope I made it a bit clearer
