ComfyUI Node: 🔶 Restart & Activ Frame - Advanced

🔶 Restart & Activ Frame - Advanced:

The chaosaiart_restarter_advanced node is designed to manage and control the restart and activation of frames within your AI art generation workflow. This node is particularly useful for scenarios where you need to reset and restart processes based on specific conditions or changes in parameters. It ensures that all connected nodes are synchronized and restarted when necessary, providing a seamless and efficient workflow. The node tracks the current frame and restarts the process if the version parameter changes or if certain conditions are met, such as reaching the end of a sequence. This functionality is essential for maintaining consistency and ensuring that your art generation process can adapt dynamically to changes without manual intervention.

🔶 Restart & Activ Frame - Advanced Input Parameters:

Version

The Version parameter is an integer that determines the current version of the process. Changing this parameter will trigger a restart of all connected nodes, resetting the activation frame to the start. This is useful for ensuring that any updates or changes in your workflow are applied consistently across all nodes. The minimum value is 0, the maximum value is 18446744073709551615, and the default value is 0.

Start

The Start parameter defines the starting frame number for the process. This parameter is crucial for setting the initial point of your frame sequence. It ensures that the process begins from the specified frame, allowing for precise control over the workflow.

End

The End parameter specifies the ending frame number for the process. This parameter is essential for defining the endpoint of your frame sequence, ensuring that the process stops or loops as required.

Mode

The Mode parameter determines the behavior of the node when it reaches the end of the frame sequence. Options include "Loop___Restart_at_End", "stop_at_End___1x_Restart_at_End", and "Endless___1x_Restart_at_End". This parameter allows you to control whether the process should loop, stop, or continue endlessly, providing flexibility in managing the workflow.

restart

The restart parameter is a boolean that forces a restart of the process when set to true. This parameter is useful for manually triggering a restart, ensuring that the process can be reset at any point as needed.

🔶 Restart & Activ Frame - Advanced Output Parameters:

ACTIV_FRAME

The ACTIV_FRAME output parameter indicates the current active frame number. This parameter is essential for tracking the progress of the frame sequence, providing real-time information on the current frame being processed.

RESTART

The RESTART output parameter is a boolean that indicates whether a restart has been triggered. This parameter is crucial for synchronizing connected nodes, ensuring that they are all restarted when necessary.

Info

The Info output parameter provides detailed information about the current state of the process, including whether a restart has occurred and the current active frame. This parameter is useful for debugging and monitoring the workflow, providing insights into the node's operation.

🔶 Restart & Activ Frame - Advanced Usage Tips:

• Use the Version parameter to manage updates and changes in your workflow, ensuring that all connected nodes are restarted and synchronized.
• Configure the Mode parameter based on your specific needs, whether you want the process to loop, stop, or continue endlessly.
• Monitor the Info output parameter for detailed insights into the node's operation, helping you debug and optimize your workflow.

🔶 Restart & Activ Frame - Advanced Common Errors and Solutions:

"Chaosaiart - restarter_advanced: restarted by Next Version"

• Explanation: This message indicates that the process was restarted due to a change in the Version parameter.
• Solution: Ensure that the Version parameter is set correctly and that any changes are intentional. This will help maintain consistency in your workflow.

"Chaosaiart - restarter_advanced: restarted by changing input"

• Explanation: This message indicates that the process was restarted due to changes in the input parameters.
• Solution: Verify that all input parameters are set correctly and that any changes are necessary for your workflow. This will help prevent unintended restarts.

"Chaosaiart - restarter_advanced: restarted End, loop started"

• Explanation: This message indicates that the process reached the end of the frame sequence and restarted due to the loop mode.
• Solution: Check the Mode parameter to ensure it is set to the desired behavior. Adjust the End parameter if necessary to control the endpoint of the frame sequence.
