ComfyUI Node: Incrementer

Incrementer:

The MasqueradeIncrementer node is designed to provide a simple yet effective way to increment a given integer value within a specified range. This node is particularly useful in scenarios where you need to cycle through a series of values repeatedly, ensuring that the output remains within a defined maximum limit. By leveraging the modulo operation, the node ensures that the incremented value wraps around once it reaches the maximum value, making it ideal for tasks that require periodic or cyclic behavior. This functionality can be beneficial in various creative and computational contexts, such as generating unique identifiers, managing cyclic animations, or controlling iterative processes in a seamless manner.

Incrementer Input Parameters:

seed

The seed parameter is an integer value that serves as the starting point for the increment operation. It determines the initial value that will be incremented and wrapped around based on the specified maximum value. The seed parameter accepts values ranging from -1 to 0xffffffffffffffff (18,446,744,073,709,551,615), with a default value of 0. This parameter is crucial for setting the initial state of the incrementer and can be adjusted to control the starting point of the cyclic sequence.

max_value

The max_value parameter is an integer that defines the upper limit for the increment operation. It specifies the maximum value that the incremented seed can reach before wrapping around to zero. The max_value parameter accepts values ranging from 1 to 0xffffffffffffffff (18,446,744,073,709,551,615), with a default value of 1. This parameter is essential for controlling the range of the cyclic sequence and ensuring that the output remains within the desired bounds.

Incrementer Output Parameters:

INT

The output parameter is an integer value that represents the result of the increment operation. This value is obtained by taking the modulo of the seed with the max_value, ensuring that the output cycles within the specified range. The output is crucial for applications that require a cyclic sequence of values, as it provides a consistent and predictable result based on the input parameters.

Incrementer Usage Tips:

• To create a cyclic sequence of values, set the seed to your starting value and adjust the max_value to define the range of the cycle.
• Use the MasqueradeIncrementer node in scenarios where you need to generate unique identifiers or control iterative processes that require periodic behavior.

Incrementer Common Errors and Solutions:

ValueError: Seed value out of range

• Explanation: This error occurs when the seed value is set outside the acceptable range of -1 to 0xffffffffffffffff.
• Solution: Ensure that the seed value is within the specified range and adjust it accordingly.

ValueError: Max value must be greater than zero

• Explanation: This error occurs when the max_value is set to a value less than 1.
• Solution: Ensure that the max_value is set to a value greater than or equal to 1 to avoid this error.
