ComfyUI Node: LimitNumber

LimitNumber:

The LimitNumber node is designed to ensure that a given number falls within a specified range. This node is particularly useful when you need to constrain values to avoid exceeding certain limits, which can be crucial in various computational and artistic processes. By setting minimum and maximum boundaries, the node helps maintain control over numerical inputs, ensuring they stay within desired thresholds. This can prevent errors and ensure consistency in your workflows, making it an essential tool for managing numerical data effectively.

LimitNumber Input Parameters:

number

This parameter represents the input number that you want to constrain within a specified range. It can be of any numerical type, such as an integer or a float. The node will evaluate this number and adjust it if it falls outside the defined minimum and maximum values.

min_value

The min_value parameter sets the lower boundary for the input number. If the input number is less than this value, the node will adjust the number to be equal to min_value. This parameter ensures that the input number does not go below a certain threshold. The default value is 0, with a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 0xffffffffffffffff.

max_value

The max_value parameter sets the upper boundary for the input number. If the input number exceeds this value, the node will adjust the number to be equal to max_value. This parameter ensures that the input number does not exceed a certain limit. The default value is 1, with a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 0xffffffffffffffff.

LimitNumber Output Parameters:

number

The output parameter number is the adjusted value that falls within the specified range defined by min_value and max_value. If the input number was within the range, the output will be the same as the input. If the input number was outside the range, the output will be the nearest boundary value (either min_value or max_value).

LimitNumber Usage Tips:

• Use the LimitNumber node to prevent numerical values from exceeding predefined limits, which can be particularly useful in scenarios where out-of-bound values could cause errors or unexpected behavior.
• Adjust the min_value and max_value parameters according to the specific requirements of your project to ensure that all numerical inputs are appropriately constrained.
• This node can be used in conjunction with other nodes to maintain data integrity and consistency across your workflow.

LimitNumber Common Errors and Solutions:

Input number is not a valid numerical type

• Explanation: The input provided is not a valid number (e.g., a string or a complex object).
• Solution: Ensure that the input is a valid numerical type, such as an integer or a float.

min_value is greater than max_value

• Explanation: The min_value parameter is set to a value greater than the max_value parameter, which creates an invalid range.
• Solution: Adjust the min_value and max_value parameters to ensure that min_value is less than or equal to max_value.

Input number exceeds the maximum allowable value

• Explanation: The input number exceeds the maximum allowable value defined by the system (0xffffffffffffffff).
• Solution: Ensure that the input number is within the allowable range and adjust the max_value parameter if necessary.
