Display an input on dynamo player based on Boolean value

Hi,

Is it possible to display an input (string or number node) on dynamo player based on Boolean value selection from user?

Are you saying you want to show one of two possible inputs based on another selection?
A) The selection wouldn’t be seen until after the graph ran to even be able to make the change.
B) The is input state exists before the run (same issue as above) and can’t readily be changed.

What is the need for two inputs? You can use a string input for both strings and numbers and just convert the value afterwards.

Nick, i think i can do it by providing a pullout menu and an option to override the value. Then i can evaluate or modify the value based on the user selection of the Boolean. Thank you.

Yes, you can definitely use a conditional to make sure your graph uses the correct value. But I don’t think you’ll be able to control whether the optional value shows in the UI or not.

Nick,

Its actually working fine by reading the selection of the user (true or false) Boolean.

Another tip…
If you pin a note to the node, it will show as a description in Dynamo Player. Then the node name doesn’t need to be as long :slight_smile:
