I & others sometimes have to chain several _ Switches together... wouldn't it be easier to have versions that are like a Switch merged with a Selector? That way, if you need to merge in another input, just connect it to the bottom of the "Multi-Switch", rather than connect another branch to the tree:

Great idea.. 🙂

Yes, that would be convenient 😍 . I've had a few times when that'd be handy with bool - $h1t 🙂 . Having a new input appear after connecting the 2nd feed to an and/or gate would save time and real estate.
Butt first, let's get 'j' back on the road...

That would make layouts neater. In the meanwhile, you can do this:
Left column is equivalent to the right.

Cool tip that I can live with. Just not intuitive w/out seeing it first. I've seen other examples of feeding an input with multiple links, just haven't sat down to figure out the howto's and why's yet.
I'll definately keep this tip in a lighted closet 🙂

Point well taken; I added labels to help make things clear. Keep in mind SM (usually) automaticly will translate Bool in to Int values, so True = 1 False = 0 logic And = all must be True logic Or = only one needs to be True

😊 Yours was clear Infuzion, I was referring to others I've seen in the past. A simple example I tried was with string components on the tooltip help. Sometimes if I feed 2 string components into the help text link, it does a strcat(string1, string2);. Sometimes it does a *string1 = '\0';. If it's supposed to do strcat(), which is intuitive, it's not consistent . 😕 .
I suppose it takes in a way as Oddson put it using the bigess/bigosh method - By Guess and By Gosh when it works 🙂

I believe I said trial and error... 😉

Isnt this the way Reaktor works?
Feels kind of obvious that it is the way it should work. Either automatic new input or a built in properties that lets you set the N inputs.

+lots. Needn't even have lots of inputs - all you need to do is to have a single input that passes whatever value is associated with the most recent trigger, maybe with a special symbol to show that it doesn't share the usual 'sum all inputs' behaviour (a knid of 'most recent value' bus) I think this would be better because you wouldn't need so many seperate links to receive inputs from outside the current module - and could even feed in multiple wireless sources.
