var dialog = new Window("dialog"); 
    dialog.text = "Dialog"; 
    dialog.orientation = "column";

    dialog.spacing = 10; 
    dialog.margins = 16; 

var checkbox1 = dialog.add("checkbox", undefined, undefined, {name: "checkbox1"}); 
    checkbox1.text = "Enable Fog"; 

var checkbox2 = dialog.add("checkbox", undefined, undefined, {name: "checkbox2"}); 
    checkbox2.text = "Checkbox";

    function setFx(lyr)
{
      var eg = lyr.property("ADBE Effect Parade");
 var fx = eg.addProperty("VIDEOCOPILOT 3DArray"); 

	fx.name = "Element"
	fx.enabled = true;
// Element/Scene Settings This property cannot be Scripted!


}

    
    
 if (checkbox1.value == true) {

//           alert ("checkbox1");
     //  fx.property("VIDEOCOPILOT 3DArray-1202").setValue(1);//Enable Fog
}else  if (checkbox2.value == true) {
    alert ("checkbox2");
}else  if (checkbox3.value == true) {
    alert ("checkbox3");
}else  if (checkbox4.value == true) {
    alert ("checkbox4");
}else  if (checkbox5.value == true) {
    alert ("checkbox5");
} else {
//       alert ("na");
}

if ( app.project.activeItem instanceof CompItem) {
	var sl = app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers;
	if ( sl.length>0){
		setFx(sl[0]);
	}
}

only one value from checkbox gets added when checked why isn't others being added

 if (checkbox1.value == true) {

//           alert ("checkbox1");
 fx.property("VIDEOCOPILOT 3DArray-1202").setValue(1);//Enable Fog
}else  if (checkbox2.value == true) {
  //  alert ("checkbox2");
    fx.property("VIDEOCOPILOT 3DArray-1458").setValue(2000000);//Camera Far Plane
}else  if (checkbox3.value == true) {
    alert ("checkbox3");
}else  if (checkbox4.value == true) {
    alert ("checkbox4");
}else  if (checkbox5.value == true) {
    alert ("checkbox5");
} else {
//       alert ("na");
}

It sounds like maybe you just need a bunch of if statements, rather than a cascading if/else, like this:

if (checkbox1.value == true) {
	// checkbox 1 code
}
if (checkbox2.value == true) {
	// checkbox 2 code
}
if (checkbox3.value == true) {
	// checkbox 3 code
}
// etc.
