Named input nodes with condition?

[KingChaos]

Hi,

 

i got an "Object node" made by a marionette. It has the inputports of all named input-nodes in the marionette wrapper.

 

so far so good.

 

is there any Way to make the not needed Inputports diasappear?

f.E. i got 3 pulldown inputselectors. After selecting the first pulldownoption, some other in pulldown 2 should not be "pickable" or make the third input disappear?

 

can this node be somehow valved or anything else?

I don't think there is a way to make not needed inputs not show.  You could program the script to ignore those inputs when they are not needed.

The question is: why do you have input ports, that you don't need. Please show us an example network within a wrapper and the wrapper from the outside.

if i have a network which places cabinets along a polygon, behind each segment 1 cabinet.

 

in the OIP i need for each segment popups for the (red) symbol to select which has to be there, i dont know how i only got the popups in the same count as the polygon segments has.

 

Also wenn das Polygon 5 segmente hat, brauche ich auch nur 5 popups zum auswaehlen des symbols.

 

Momentan habe ich das hart eingebaut, dass ich immer 6 segmente habe.

Yes sry it sounds strange, they have to be dynamically on/off with condition fE.

 

if i have a 1. selection what makes selection 2 invalide fE.

There was a hidden feature, that isn't reliable, where you could place a 2D locus on ports that you aren't using and it would hide them from exposure in the OIP. I haven't tested this recently and it's not documented as it's not a reliable method, but worth a shot if you'd like.

 

Another option - you may be able to attach a pass node to the input node to hide it. Also untested, but I think it would work.

but this pass node i cant deactivate by condition?
