open plot for non-standard 8 & 12 hour aggregation periods?

Does anybody know how to accomplish this?

You can plot a variety of standard aggregation periods up to 4 hours, but what about 8 and 12? I need a study that marks the open of these candles and know it's possible, I just can't figure it out based off of the TOS self help site/library. Their DailyOpen code is below:

Code:
input aggregationPeriod = AggregationPeriod.DAY;
input showOnlyLastPeriod = yes;

def prevPrice = open(period = aggregationPeriod)[-1];
def price = open(period = aggregationPeriod);
plot DailyOpen = if showOnlyLastPeriod and !IsNaN(prevPrice) then Double.NaN else price;

DailyOpen.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(2));
DailyOpen.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
 
We are limited by the capabilities of TOS and that would include available aggregation periods... We have to live within those limitations... The list of aggregation periods is what it is... I am not aware of any workarounds to accomplish the task of non-standard aggregation periods...

@rad14733 thanks for the insight, that's too bad... would aggregating three 4-hour periods be something that you can conceive of?
 
I don't know how
It's a logic problem... You start out by . . . . starting... That's how I tackle logic problems every day...

About a week ago we had a member ask a question but I don't just jump when someone has wants... Last night I was working on something else that had some correlation to that members want so once I had my wants and needs done I ventured further and came up with something that the member or someone else can expound upon... If nothing else just keep the idea in the back of your mind and maybe you'll have an epiphany someday while off on another tangent... Happens all the time for me... One of my mantras is "The more you know, the more you know!"... My other one is "There's a lotta out there out there!"...

Merry Christmas...!!!

Thanks for taking the time to share this valuable wisdom. I meant don't know how I would start aggregating three 4H periods. Merry Christmas to you, too.
