How to add selective cloud?

Silly question but how to do I add selective cloud?
If I wanted to check mark between different settings inside?

Using ReverseEngineeringMACD.

Inside we have these plots:
plot PMACDeq;
plot PMACDlevel;
plot MA_PMACDeq;
plot PMACDsignal;

If I wanted to choose cloud between only 2 of those how would I write cloud feature on bottom of the code.
Thank you

Here is the default TOS code for ReverseENG.

You can select an input for a topline and bottomline from the 4 plots for your cloud. You can change the color of the clouds at the input scareen.

When only 2 values in formula I use this:
AddCloud(fastAvg, slowAvg, Color.green, color.red);
But in the rev eng one I am trying to get done there are 4 values and I dont know how to make selective cloud from input menu screen.

The part of code was added to your code to allow you to choose what 2 plots can be used to add a cloud. It was in the code provided below the image above. The imputs have a dropdown of choices. Just click on the ones you want to use at each input.

Ruby: 
input showcloud = yes;
input top    = {default PMACDeq, PMACDlevel, MA_PMACDeq, PMACDsignal};
input bottom = {PMACDeq, default PMACDlevel, MA_PMACDeq, PMACDsignal};
def topline;
switch (top){
case PMACDeq:
    topline = PMACDeq;
case PMACDlevel:
    topline = PMACDlevel;
case MA_PMACDeq:
    topline = MA_PMACDeq;
case PMACDsignal:
    topline = PMACDsignal;
}
def bottomline;
switch (bottom){
case PMACDeq:
    bottomline = PMACDeq;
case PMACDlevel:
    bottomline = PMACDlevel;
case MA_PMACDeq:
    bottomline = MA_PMACDeq;
case PMACDsignal:
    bottomline = PMACDsignal;
}
DefineGlobalColor("T", Color.GREEN);
DefineGlobalColor("B", Color.RED);

AddCloud(if !showcloud then Double.NaN else topline, bottomline, GlobalColor("T"), GlobalColor("B"));

amazing thank you! Havent seen that code before in any other indicator Ive used, so thank you. If i wanted arrows is there a global feature for that too?

Here is an example of controlling the plot of Arrows through an Input ShowArrows. You can also control the color of the arrows at thee Input screen.

The image shows the arrows limited to the count set at 2.

Capture.jpg
Ruby: 
def Data = close crosses above average(close, 8);

input showarrows = {default all, count, none};

#Limiter to only Plot number of Arrows based on Arrowcount
input arrowcount = 2;
def Count    = CompoundValue(1, if data then Count[1] + 1 else Count[1], 0);
def Display  = (HighestAll(Count) - Count) + 1;
#

plot arrow = if showarrows==showarrows.none or showarrows==showarrows.count and display> arrowcount then double.nan else data;
defineGlobalColor("A", color.green);
arrow.setpaintingStrategy(paintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_UP);
arrow.setdefaultColor(globalColor("A"));
arrow.setlineWeight(5);

Much appreciated but I cant get this to work for some reason. I copied and applied but it doesnt paint like the other arrow scripts. Still playing around with it. Thank you and do admire always everyone here that takes time to help!

Here is both up/down arrows that may be more what you were looking to see.. You can control the plots and colors of the arrows at the input screen.

Code: 
def Data = if close crosses above Average(close, 8) then 1 else if close crosses below Average(close, 8) then -1 else 0;

input showarrows = {default all, count, none};

#Limiter to only Plot number of Arrows based on Arrowcount
input arrowcount = 2;
def Count    = CompoundValue(1, if Data then Count[1] + 1 else Count[1], 0);
def Display  = (HighestAll(Count) - Count) + 1;
#

DefineGlobalColor("A", Color.GREEN);
DefineGlobalColor("D", Color.RED);

plot arrowup = if showarrows == showarrows.none or showarrows == showarrows.count and Display > arrowcount then Double.NaN else Data == 1;

arrowup.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_UP);
arrowup.AssignValueColor(if Data == 1 then GlobalColor("A") else GlobalColor("D"));
arrowup.SetLineWeight(5);

plot arrowdn = if showarrows == showarrows.none or showarrows == showarrows.count and Display > arrowcount then Double.NaN else Data == -1;
arrowdn.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_DOWN);
arrowdn.AssignValueColor(if Data == 1 then GlobalColor("A") else GlobalColor("D"));
arrowdn.SetLineWeight(5);

Still cant get these ****ers to show up. I like the indicator and arrows just catches my eye when I chose to not have the clouds on.
I tried even using numerical and up down arrows in input screen. But no arrows show up with script pasted or as mentioned numerical option. I must be missing something really simple. ALL count none no matter what I chose nothing prints.
Thank you

I just copied and pasted the above code and it worked. Here is a link https://tos.mx/IBoLxQa to the image below.
