Only show last 4 hour high, low and close

I'd like to only have these lines shown for the last full four-hour session. Here's what I have so far:

################FOUR HOUR############################
input Four_Hour_Aggregation = AggregationPeriod.FOUR_HOURS;

plot Four_Hour_h = high(period= Four_Hour_Aggregation);
plot Four_Hour_l = low(period= Four_Hour_Aggregation);
plot Four_Hour_c = close(period= Four_Hour_Aggregation);

Four_Hour_h.SetDefaultColor(Color.Red);
Four_Hour_h.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
Four_Hour_l.SetLineWeight(3);

Four_Hour_l.SetDefaultColor(Color.Uptick);
Four_Hour_l.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
Four_Hour_l.SetLineWeight(3);

Four_Hour_c.SetDefaultColor(Color.Orange);
Four_Hour_c.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
Four_Hour_c.SetLineWeight(3);

Solution
can we get this code to only show the last 4 hour not the current?

The above script has been modified to plot a 'specific', x_number's input of HLC Aggregation lines.
The default is to extend the specific HLC lines to the right.

To only show the last 4 hour and not the current: input display = specific, and input x_number = 2.

Code:
#HLC_DisplayLines
input display = {default x, specific, all};
input x_number  = 2;
input Aggregation = AggregationPeriod.FOUR_HOURS;
input Extend_specific = yes;

def count = if close(period = Aggregation) then count[1] + 1 else count[1];

def h = high(period = Aggregation);
def l = low(period = Aggregation);
def c = close(period = Aggregation);

plot Agg_high = if display == display.x
                   then
                       if HighestAll(count) - count <= x_number - 1
                       then h
                       else Double.NaN
                else if display == display.specific
                     then if Extend_specific == yes and HighestAll(count) - count < x_number - 1
                          then HighestAll (if HighestAll(count) - count == x_number - 1
                                           then h
                                           else Double.NaN)
                          else if HighestAll(count) - count == x_number - 1
                               then h
                               else Double.NaN
                else h;

plot Agg_low = if display == display.x
                   then
                       if HighestAll(count) - count <= x_number - 1
                       then l
                       else Double.NaN
               else if display == display.specific
                    then if Extend_specific == yes and HighestAll(count) - count < x_number - 1
                         then HighestAll (if HighestAll(count) - count == x_number - 1
                                          then l
                                          else Double.NaN)
                         else if HighestAll(count) - count == x_number - 1
                              then l
                              else Double.NaN
               else l ;

plot Agg_close = if display == display.x
                    then
                        if HighestAll(count) - count <= x_number - 1
                        then c
                        else Double.NaN
