Can I modify this "merge top level groups" script to hide layers if the original group was hidden?

[Mark Paterson]

I found a script on this community that merges top level groups into individual layers. It's ALMOST perfect for what I need EXCEPT I need it to respect the original visibility of the top level Layer Group and apply that to the merged layer. Currently when run it turns the visibility of all layers to ON regardless of the original Layer Group visibility. How can this be modified? Thank you!

activeDocument.activeLayer = activeDocument.layerSets[0].layers[0];
activeDocument.activeLayer = activeDocument.activeLayer.parent;

while (app.activeDocument.layerSets.length) {
    activeDocument.activeLayer = app.activeDocument.layerSets[0];
    executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("newPlacedLayer"), new ActionDescriptor(), DialogModes.NO);
    activeDocument.activeLayer.rasterize(RasterizeType.ENTIRELAYER);
}

I believe that was an alteration for a different use case, here is the original from @SuperMerlin

    activeDocument.activeLayer.rasterize(RasterizeType.ENTIRELAYER);
}

Two alternative scripts here:

Ah ok, good to know the origin of the script. I tried that, and the two alternative scripts, but all of them have the same result: hidden layer groups get turned into visible layers. I need each merged layer to retain the visibility status of the original layer group. I don't know how to modify it to achieve this.

I can see that @r-bin sorted this out. As you didn't provide screenshots to illustrate I obviously didn't understand.

while (app.activeDocument.layerSets.length) {

    var vis = app.activeDocument.layerSets[0].visible;        
    activeDocument.activeLayer = app.activeDocument.layerSets[0];

    executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("newPlacedLayer"), new ActionDescriptor(), DialogModes.NO);
    activeDocument.activeLayer.rasterize(RasterizeType.ENTIRELAYER);

    activeDocument.activeLayer.visible = vis;
}

Works great, thank you!
