Required Fields Based on Drop Down

Question

I'm creating a form where I have people registering for an event.There is a drop down list for users to select 0-4 people in attendance. Below that, we have 4 spaces for each person attending.I'm looking for a script that will only show the field and make it required based on the number of people. Ex)---User selects 0 (0 Value) people in attendance from the dropdown (labelled as FEG)Fields "NameA", "NameB", "NameC", and "NameD" are hidden and not required. ---User selects 1 (225 Value) person in attendance from the dropdown (labelled as FEG)Field "NameA" is made visible and required. Fields "NameB", "NameC", and "NameD" are hidden and not required. ---User selects 2 (450 Value) people in attendance from the dropdown (labelled as FEG)Fields "NameA" and "NameB" are made visible and required. Fields , "NameC", and "NameD" are hidden and not required. ---User selects 3 (675 Value) people in attendance from the dropdown (labelled as FEG)Fields "NameA", "NameB", and "NameC" are made visible and required. Fields "NameD" is hidden and not required. ---User selects 4 (900 Value) people in attendance from the dropdown (labelled as FEG)Fields "NameA" and "NameB", "NameC", and "NameD" are made visible and required. I've tried a few scripts, based off of other things I've seen, but it's not working out for me.

Use this code pattern. Place it as the custom Calculation script of "FEG":

if (event.value=="0") {
	this.getField("NameA").display = display.hidden;
	this.getField("NameA").required = false;
	this.getField("NameB").display = display.hidden;
	this.getField("NameB").required = false;
	this.getField("NameC").display = display.hidden;
	this.getField("NameC").required = false;
	this.getField("NameD").display = display.hidden;
	this.getField("NameD").required = false;
	this.resetForm(["NameA", "NameB", "NameC", "NameD"]);
} else if (event.value=="1") {
	this.getField("NameA").display = display.visible;
	this.getField("NameA").required = true;
	this.getField("NameB").display = display.hidden;
	this.getField("NameB").required = false;
	this.getField("NameC").display = display.hidden;
	this.getField("NameC").required = false;
	this.getField("NameD").display = display.hidden;
	this.getField("NameD").required = false;
	this.resetForm(["NameB", "NameC", "NameD"]);
} // etc.

I added to it a command to clear the hidden fields, so you don't get values that shouldn't be there when exporting the form data.

Does 225 Value mean 225 is the export value for a selection of 1, and 450 is the export value for a selection of 2, etc.?
