https://perchance.org/mytestgen#edit In this generator, I have a suit list that consists of 5 areas: mask, cape, boots etc. The other two lists are "camera" and "actor". So, camera can zoom-in on a certain body part, and I need it to output only that section of clothing, leaving everything else out-of-frame. That I solved. But there's a third dimension to it. The third list is Actor, some characters cannot wear certain clothes because of their characteristics, for example, mermaid can't wear bottom clothes. Help me add that third dimension into the output line to filter it out properly, please.

You should select the actor first, to filter the clothes that it can wear. Then, select the camera to further filter the clothes that would be displayed that depends on the framing.

EDIT: Here is a test gen for it: https://perchance.org/ho5e2n0vwt

btw, .some is a neat method, I overlooked it before.

Thanks for your answers! You gave me some good ideas there. But dynamic odds is what I was trying to avoid because I have 200+ suits, not just batman uniform, I can't spell it out in each of them and was trying to make one line rule for them all. Index 0 - png, index 1 is top, index 2 is mid, etc.

You can have each of the suits into a single list, then control that parent list. E.g.

Uniform
  https://user.uploads.dev/file/53321b33603b8f9f386fb870db73ad65.png
  [Top] ^[camera.includes("top") && actor != "dryad"]
  [Mid] ^[camera.includes("mid") && actor != "angel"]
  [Low] ^[camera.includes("low") && !["mermaid", "minotaur"].includes(actor)]
  [Rear] ^[camera.includes("rear") && actor != "angel"]
  [TopMidLow] ^[["top", "mid", "low"].some(a => camera.includes(a))]


Top
  batman mask ^[specificCostume == "batman"]
  ...

Mid
  batman suit with batman logo on the chest, batman gloves, batman belt ^[specificCostume == "batman"]
  ...

Good idea but that would be a hell of a job to track all the pieces across different lists plus specification for each piece where it goes. Since I'm lazy I just did:

Uniform
  https://user.uploads.dev/file/53321b33603b8f9f386fb870db73ad65.png
  top=batman mask
  mid=batman suit with batman logo on the chest, batman gloves, batman belt
  low=batman pants, batman boots
  rear=batman cape, mask straps on the back of the head
  noZoom=[this.top], [this.mid], [this.low], partially visible batman cape on the sides

and then just call it like [Uniform[camera]]. I can easily filter out different actor specifications now.
