how to add in a Barsheld to trailing stop loss

[0Predictions]

Any idea how to add in a Barsheld to this portion of the below script (highest(high, ATRLength)))? I'm using this on a N day breakout strategy and using the ATR as a trailing stop loss. tyia.

def trailStopLong = (if UseClose then highest(close, ATRLength) else highest(high, ATRLength)) - atr;
def longStopPrev = if IsNan(trailStopLong[1]) then trailStopLong else trailStopLong[1];
def LS =if close[1] > longStopPrev then max(trailStopLong, longStopPrev) else trailStopLong;

def trailStopShort = (if UseClose then lowest(close, ATRLength) else lowest(low, ATRLength)) + atr;
def shortStopPrev = if IsNan(trailStopShort[1]) then trailStopShort else trailStopShort[1];
def SS =if close[1] < shortStopPrev then min(trailStopShort, shortStopPrev) else trailStopShort;

def dir = if close > shortStopPrev then 1 else if close < longStopPrev then -1 else dir[1];
def direction = dir;

you can't make up words, like barsheld, and expect others to know what you are talking about.
you will have to explain some more on what you want to have happen.
