Pinescript - Plot line only over x candles

I would like the output from the indicator below to be the lines not continuous but only over 5 candles. Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to draw a Plor line over just 5 candles yet. I would also like the line to be a continuous line and not a dashed line. I tried this option but then the indicator output no longer works properly:

line.new(bar_index - 3, level1, bar_index + 3, level1, color=level1_col, width = 2)
line.new(bar_index - 3, level2, bar_index + 3, level2, color=level2_col, width = 2)
line.new(bar_index - 3, level3, bar_index + 3, level3, color=level3_col, width = 2)
line.new(bar_index - 3, level4, bar_index + 3, level4, color=level4_col, width = 2)
line.new(bar_index - 3, level5, bar_index + 3, level5, color=level5_col, width = 2)
line.new(bar_index - 3, level6, bar_index + 3, level6, color=level6_col, width = 2)
line.new(bar_index - 3, level7, bar_index + 3, level7, color=level7_col, width = 2)
line.new(bar_index - 3, level8, bar_index + 3, level8, color=level8_col, width = 2)

Here are the plot outputs of the indicator in the original:

plot(level1, style = plot.style_line, color=level1_col, show_last=1, linewidth=2, trackprice=true)
plot(level2, style = plot.style_line, color=level2_col, show_last=1, linewidth=2, trackprice=true)
plot(level3, style = plot.style_line, color=level3_col, show_last=1, linewidth=2, trackprice=true)
plot(level4, style = plot.style_line, color=level4_col, show_last=1, linewidth=2, trackprice=true)
plot(level5, style = plot.style_line, color=level5_col, show_last=1, linewidth=2, trackprice=true)
plot(level6, style = plot.style_line, color=level6_col, show_last=1, linewidth=2, trackprice=true)
plot(level7, style = plot.style_line, color=level7_col, show_last=1, linewidth=2, trackprice=true)
plot(level8, style = plot.style_line, color=level8_col, show_last=1, linewidth=2, trackprice=true)

Here is the indicator:

//@version=5

quick_pivot_lows = src=="Close" ? ta.pivotlow(close, left,quick_right) : ta.pivotlow(low, left,quick_right)

level1 = src=="Close" ? ta.valuewhen(quick_pivot_high, close[quick_right], 0) : ta.valuewhen(quick_pivot_high, high[quick_right], 0)

level5 = src=="Close" ? ta.valuewhen(pivot_high, close[right], 1) : ta.valuewhen(pivot_high, high[right], 1)
level6 = src=="Close" ? ta.valuewhen(pivot_lows, close[right], 1) : ta.valuewhen(pivot_lows, low[right], 1)
level7 = src=="Close" ? ta.valuewhen(pivot_high, close[right], 2) : ta.valuewhen(pivot_high, high[right], 2)
level8 = src=="Close" ? ta.valuewhen(pivot_lows, close[right], 2) : ta.valuewhen(pivot_lows, low[right], 2)

level1_col = close >= level1 ? color.lime : color.orange
level2_col = close >= level2 ? color.lime : color.orange
level3_col = close >= level3 ? color.lime : color.orange
level4_col = close >= level4 ? color.lime : color.orange
level5_col = close >= level5 ? color.lime : color.orange
level6_col = close >= level6 ? color.lime : color.orange
level7_col = close >= level7 ? color.lime : color.orange
level8_col = close >= level8 ? color.lime : color.orange

plot(level1, style = plot.style_line, color=level1_col, show_last=1, linewidth=2, trackprice=true)
plot(level2, style = plot.style_line, color=level2_col, show_last=1, linewidth=2, trackprice=true)

plot(level5, style = plot.style_line, color=level5_col, show_last=1, linewidth=2, trackprice=true)
plot(level6, style = plot.style_line, color=level6_col, show_last=1, linewidth=2, trackprice=true)
plot(level7, style = plot.style_line, color=level7_col, show_last=1, linewidth=2, trackprice=true)
plot(level8, style = plot.style_line, color=level8_col, show_last=1, linewidth=2, trackprice=true)

It is a dashed line because of trackprice=true so you need to delete those.

plot() has an argument called show_last which does exactly what you want and is set to 1 in the code.

show_last (input int) If set, defines the number of bars (from the last bar back to the past) to plot on chart.

Just change it to 5 and you will be good.
