ComfyUI Node: Playbook Number (External)

Playbook Number (External):

The Playbook Number node is designed to handle numerical inputs within a specified range, providing a flexible and robust solution for managing integer values in your AI art projects. This node is particularly useful when you need to ensure that a number falls within a certain boundary, such as setting parameters for rendering or other computational tasks. By allowing you to define minimum and maximum limits, the Playbook Number node helps maintain control over numerical inputs, preventing errors that could arise from out-of-bound values. Its primary function is to parse and validate an input number, ensuring it adheres to the specified constraints, and it can also handle default values when necessary. This makes it an essential tool for artists who need to manage numerical data efficiently and effectively in their creative workflows.

Playbook Number (External) Input Parameters:

id

The id parameter is a string input that serves as an identifier for the node. It is used to parse the input number, and while it is not required to be a digit, if it is a string representation of a number, it will be converted to an integer. This parameter does not have a minimum or maximum value but defaults to "Node ID".

label

The label parameter is a string input that provides a descriptive label for the node. It helps in identifying the node's purpose or function within a larger workflow. This parameter is purely for organizational purposes and does not affect the node's execution. It defaults to "Node Label".

min

The min parameter is an integer that defines the minimum allowable value for the input number. It ensures that the parsed number does not fall below this threshold, providing a safeguard against invalid or undesired low values. The default value is 0, and it is displayed as a number.

max

The max parameter is an integer that sets the maximum allowable value for the input number. It acts as a ceiling to prevent the number from exceeding a certain limit, which is crucial for maintaining control over the numerical data. The default value is 100, and it is displayed as a number.

default_value

The default_value parameter is an optional integer input that specifies a fallback value to be used if the id does not represent a valid number. This ensures that the node can still function even when the primary input is invalid. The default value is 0, with a range from -2147483647 to 2147483647, and it is displayed as a number.

Playbook Number (External) Output Parameters:

number

The number output parameter is an integer that represents the validated and possibly adjusted input number. It is the result of parsing the id parameter and ensuring it falls within the specified min and max range. This output is crucial for subsequent nodes or processes that rely on a controlled numerical input, ensuring consistency and reliability in your workflow.

Playbook Number (External) Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the id parameter is a string representation of a number if you want it to be parsed as an integer. This will help the node function correctly and produce the expected output.
• Use the min and max parameters to set appropriate boundaries for your numerical inputs, preventing errors and ensuring that the values remain within a desired range.
• Consider setting a default_value to provide a fallback option in case the id does not represent a valid number, ensuring that your workflow remains robust and error-free.

Playbook Number (External) Common Errors and Solutions:

Invalid ID Format

• Explanation: The id parameter is not a valid string representation of a number.
• Solution: Ensure that the id is a string that can be converted to an integer, or provide a valid default_value to be used as a fallback.

Out of Range Value

• Explanation: The parsed number exceeds the specified min or max limits.
• Solution: Adjust the min and max parameters to accommodate the desired range, or ensure that the input number falls within these boundaries.

Missing Default Value

• Explanation: The id is invalid, and no default_value is provided.
• Solution: Specify a default_value to ensure the node can produce an output even when the id is not a valid number.
