Can't get trendlines to plot

This was written for a Renko chart. I don't think will work on other types of charts. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Try as I might I can't figure out why my trendlines won't plot. I think it is something really obvious but ....

In the code below if I add the second trendline plot statement block or anything below the first one entitled

//Draw Trendlines for Pivot Highs

Then none plot. If you comment out Everything below this plot area this trendline plots fine. Also if you change the IF statement in the plot area below entitled

//Draw trendlines for Tops


from if TOP<>Top to 1 > 0 then both the trendline plot above but the second one plots a new trendline for every new bar. I was trying just to have one new trendline plotted each time the pivoth or top value changed but keep extending to the right until a new value is created.

Maybe there is a better way also.




 
Code
Input: 	TextOffset(.25),
		UpLVol(1000),
		DnLVol(1000);

vars: X(0), PivotL(0), PivotH(0), HHigh(0), LLow(0), Top(0), Bottom(0), 
	  PHBarNumber(0), FirstLHBarNumber (0), PLBarNumber(0), DrawCreek(0), DrawIce(0), HHPBarNumber(0),HLPBarNUmber(0), TXT_UT(""),
	  JOC(0), JOCValue(0), FTI(0), FTIValue(0), Spring(0), UpThrust(0), SpringPrice(0), UpThrustPrice(0);


//UpTrends and Tops

If C<C[1] and Upticks[1] > 0 Then Begin //Is a Pivot High
	
	If C[1] > PivotH Then // Higher High Pivot
		HHigh = 1;
	 	DrawIce = 0;
	 	DrawCreek = 0;
	 	HHPBarNumber = BarNumber;
	 
	
	If C[1] = PivotH and HHigh[1] = 1 Then //This is Double Top in an Uptrend Draw Ice at prior pivot high's low
	 	HHigh = 1;
	 	DrawIce = 0;
	 	HHPBarNumber = BarNumber[3]; 
	 	
	 If C[1] = PivotH and HHigh[1] = 0 Then //This is Double Top in a DownTrend
	 	HHigh = 0;
	 	DrawIce = 0;
	 	HHPBarNumber = BarNumber[3];
	 	 
	If C[1] < PivotH And HHigh[1] = 1 Then Begin   //Top - Is Lower than previous pivot high & Last Pivot High was higher than previous pivot high/First LL
		    
			HHigh = 0;
			Top = PivotH[1];  // This is uptrend top 
			PHBarNumber = PHBarNumber[1];
			DrawIce = 1;
			FTI = 1;
			FTIValue = PivotL;
			
			
			//Text For First LH
				 				 
				 Value1 = Text_New(Date[1], Time[1], High[1] + Range * Textoffset , "1stLH");
				 Text_SetColor(Value1, Black);
				 Text_setstyle(Value1, 2, 1); 
				 
			//Text For On The Spring Board Dn 
				If Upthrust = 1 Then Begin 
					Value2 = Text_New(Date[1], Time[1], High[1] + Range * Textoffset , "On SpringBoard");
				 	Text_SetColor(Value2, Black);
				 	Text_setstyle(Value2, 2, 0);
				 	UPthrust = 0;
				 End;	 
				 
	  End;	
		
		PivotH = Close[1]; //Set Last Pivot High Price
		PHBarNumber = BarNumber[1];		 	
End;
		
	//Draw Trendlne for pivot Highs 
	
	If PivotH <> PivotH[1] Then Begin
			Value3 = TL_New(Date[1], Time[1], PivotH, Date, Time, PivotH);
				Tl_setcolor(Value3, Blue);
				Tl_Setstyle(Value3, Tool_Dotted);
				//Tl_setsize(Value3, 1);
	End
	Else Begin 
		If PivotH = PivotH[1] Then 
			Value4 = TL_SetEnd(Value3, Date, Time, PivotH);
	End;
			
	
	//Draw Trendline For Tops 
	
	If top <> Top[1]  Then Begin 
		Value5 = TL_New(Date[1], Time[1], Top, Date, Time, Top);
		Value6 = Tl_setbegin(Value5, Date[BarNumber[1] - PHBarNumber[1] +1], Time[BarNumber[1] - PHBarNumber[1] +1], Top);
			Tl_setcolor(Value5, DarkGreen);
			Tl_setsize(Value5, 1);
	End
		Else Begin If Top = Top Then 
			Value7 = TL_SetEnd(Value5, Date, Time, Top);
	End;
