ComfyUI Node: Playbook Float (External)

Playbook Float (External):

The Playbook Float node is designed to handle and process floating-point numbers within a specified range, ensuring that any input value is clamped between a defined minimum and maximum. This node is particularly useful in scenarios where you need to maintain numerical stability and prevent values from exceeding certain thresholds, which can be crucial in various computational tasks or graphical applications. By providing a mechanism to parse and constrain float values, the Playbook Float node helps maintain consistency and reliability in your workflows, making it an essential tool for managing numerical data effectively.

Playbook Float (External) Input Parameters:

id

The id parameter is a string that serves as a unique identifier for the node. It is essential for distinguishing this node from others in a network or system. The id should be a non-empty string, and while it is not directly used for numerical operations, it plays a crucial role in node management and organization.

label

The label parameter is a string that provides a descriptive name for the node. This label helps users easily identify the node's purpose or function within a larger system. Like the id, it is not used in calculations but is important for clarity and documentation.

min

The min parameter is a floating-point number that defines the lower bound of the acceptable range for the float value. It ensures that any input value is not less than this minimum threshold, thereby preventing underflow or undesired low values. The default value is 0.

max

The max parameter is a floating-point number that sets the upper limit of the acceptable range for the float value. It ensures that any input value does not exceed this maximum threshold, thus preventing overflow or excessively high values. The default value is 1.0.

default_value

The default_value parameter is an optional floating-point number that provides a fallback value if the input id is invalid or not provided. This value is also clamped between the min and max parameters to ensure it remains within the specified range. The default value is 0, with a step increment of 0.1, and it can range from -2147483647 to 2147483647.

Playbook Float (External) Output Parameters:

float

The float output parameter is the resulting floating-point number after the input value has been parsed and clamped within the specified range. This output is crucial as it represents the validated and constrained numerical value that can be used in subsequent operations or processes. By ensuring the float value is within the defined bounds, the node helps maintain numerical integrity and prevents errors related to out-of-range values.

Playbook Float (External) Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the min and max parameters are set appropriately to cover the expected range of your input values, preventing unnecessary clamping.
• Use descriptive id and label values to make it easier to manage and identify nodes within complex systems or workflows.

Playbook Float (External) Common Errors and Solutions:

Invalid ID

• Explanation: The id parameter is either empty or not a valid string representation of a number.
• Solution: Ensure that the id is a non-empty string and, if necessary, represents a valid number.

Default Value Out of Range

• Explanation: The default_value is outside the specified min and max range.
• Solution: Adjust the default_value to ensure it falls within the min and max limits.
