exit on AddChartBubble

Hi,
I am using a script which displays a number of labels on an indicator line using addchart, see pseudo code below.
If none of the conditions apply the label should not display.
As the conditions are quite extensive I rather not use all the conditions over again in the (first) time condition, but rather at the end of the color assignment if-then-else exit use something like a double.nan - but thinkscript does not allow this.
I can't seem to come up with a clever alternative, any suggestions how to deal with this?

JavaScript:
AddChartBubble(
  yes
, baseline
, " label text "
,      if cond1 then color1
  else if cond2 then color2
  else if etc. etc. (8 conditions in total)
  else  # do not show chartbubble / double.nan does not work
, yes);

first thing,
just post the real code. no one is doing anything super secret, that hasn't been seen before.

learn and use the correct terms. your code is for a bubble, but you are calling it a label and addchart.

can you pull out some of the conditions and combine them to make its own formula, set to some variable? then reference that variable within the bubble.

or if things are getting that complicated, maybe separate out the formulas into 2+ bubbles?
try to group together conditions that have the same color.

combine all the valid conditions that would turn on the bubble, into a OR formula. then use that variable as the visible parameter.
def seen = ( cond1 or cond2 or cond3 or ....);
addchartbubble( seen, ... )

could pick a color the same as background color, ( black on black) then the bubble wouldn't be seen.

Thanks @halcyonguy for the suggestions. The real code is not super secret but a bit messy and lot's of lines/temp stuff which might add unnecessary confusion.

Setting the background color to black on black helps a little but that will sometimes overlap with other chartbubbles. I was hoping there was an easy way to exit the color assignment part of the AddChartBubble function but that seems not to be the case.
