ComfyUI Node: 🔶 Any Switch, by Frame

🔶 Any Switch, by Frame:

The chaosaiart_Any_Switch node is designed to facilitate dynamic switching between two sources based on a specified mode. This node is particularly useful in scenarios where you need to alternate between different inputs in a controlled manner, such as in animation frames or iterative processes. By providing a flexible switching mechanism, it allows you to create more complex and varied outputs without manual intervention. The node can operate in two modes: "One Time: 1-2-2-2.." and "Switch: 1-2-1-2..", giving you the ability to choose the switching pattern that best suits your needs. This functionality is essential for AI artists looking to add variability and control to their workflows.

🔶 Any Switch, by Frame Input Parameters:

mode

This parameter determines the switching pattern of the node. It has two options: "One Time: 1-2-2-2.." and "Switch: 1-2-1-2..". In the "One Time" mode, the node will output the first source once and then continuously output the second source. In the "Switch" mode, the node will alternate between the two sources with each execution. This allows you to control how the sources are alternated, providing flexibility in your workflow.

source_1

This is the first input source for the node. It can be of any type, making it versatile for various applications. The value of this source will be used based on the selected mode and the current state of the node.

source_2

This is the second input source for the node. Similar to source_1, it can be of any type. The value of this source will be used based on the selected mode and the current state of the node.

restart

This optional parameter allows you to reset the node's state. When set, it will restart the switching process according to the selected mode. This is useful if you need to reinitialize the switching sequence during your workflow.

🔶 Any Switch, by Frame Output Parameters:

Info

This output provides a string containing information about the current state of the node, including which source is currently being output. This can be useful for debugging and understanding the node's behavior during execution.

SOURCE_X

This output provides the current source value based on the switching logic. It will be either the value of source_1 or source_2, depending on the mode and the current state of the node. This allows you to dynamically switch between different inputs in your workflow.

🔶 Any Switch, by Frame Usage Tips:

• Use the "One Time" mode when you need to initialize with one source and then continue with another source for the rest of the process.
• Use the "Switch" mode for alternating between two sources in a repetitive manner, which is useful for creating animations or iterative processes.
• Utilize the restart parameter to reset the switching sequence if you need to reinitialize the process at any point in your workflow.

🔶 Any Switch, by Frame Common Errors and Solutions:

"Invalid mode selected"

• Explanation: This error occurs when an invalid mode is provided to the mode parameter.
• Solution: Ensure that the mode parameter is set to either "One Time: 1-2-2-2.." or "Switch: 1-2-1-2..".

"Source input missing"

• Explanation: This error occurs when one or both of the source inputs (source_1 or source_2) are not provided.
• Solution: Make sure to provide valid inputs for both source_1 and source_2 parameters.

"Restart parameter not recognized"

• Explanation: This error occurs when the restart parameter is not correctly set.
• Solution: Ensure that the restart parameter is set correctly if you intend to use it. If not needed, you can omit this parameter.
