Are you talking about something 3D interacting with stories and the cut plane? It doesn't sound like you are, it sounds like you want to turn a symbol off and on.
The key is the global variable GLOB_CH_STORY_DIST (S~), which describes the relationship between the currently displayed story and the object's home story. I don't know if this will do everything you want. You will have to tell it explicitly what stories to show on; parameters for ranges and skipping stories will be clunky but should work in theory.
The object would be shown on All Stories, then you would have IF/THEN conditionals to draw the geometry, or not, based on the current story.
When viewing the object's home story, S~ = 0. One story up, S~ = 1. Two stories up, S~=2. One story down, S~ = -1. Etc.
Simplest case, you have a checkbox for a parameter, showOnStoryAbove.
IF S~=0 THEN !! always show on home story
!! draw stuff
ENDIF
IF S~=1 AND showOnStoryAbove=1 THEN
!! draw stuff
ENDIF
(You'd never do that, you'd just use the story display setting.)
More complicated, an integer parameter for showOnHowManyStoriesUp:
IF S~=0 THEN !! always show on home story
!! draw stuff
ENDIF
IF S~>0 AND S~<= showOnHowManyStoriesUp THEN
!! draw stuff
ENDIF
A gap followed by another range would be more complex again.
To be clear, S~ relates to the home story of the object, not to story 1 or anything like that. So the user would be indicating stories relative to the object, not to the actual story structure of the project. (You could convert S~ to the absolute story by using the "Story" REQUEST.)
I think you will get a weird behavior on stories where the code stops anything from being drawn. (E.g., the current story is 6 stories up and the object should only show through 5.) I think you get a dot like the object was missing or erroneous. In the past I have seen that cause errors on 'showing' stories. For safety, always have the object draw something, even if it's just a tiny line with a non-printing pen.
