String to list

Hi unkargherth,

I'm not quite getting a clear picture of what you're suggesting here. Any chance you could explain a bit more - thanks 🙂

Oh you mean like you do with bus modules -

input1,input2,input3 ect

But a selector does not use names though? why not just use the bus module? Also half the examples on the forums use selectors and multiplexers so if the current modules were changed stuff might not work anymore. It would be better to make completely new modules for that type of thing.

Couldn't you just replace the preset string inside the module (that reads "Input1, Input2...") to an Input connector?

OK. I explain better ( if i could)

instead of having a multiplexer one index, N inputs and one output, what i want is a NEW module with one index, one input and one output

the index works as normal, the input is a string of space or comman seprated values and the ouput is at normal

Then when i set the index to x i get on output the xth element of the input list. If x is bigger than total num elements then i get the last ( or we could include a warp swicth that makes the list "circular")

Then instead of having many origins of values, we have only one, maintaining the posibility of select between them

As a nice plus, you get the posibility of changing Origins on runtime ( simply rebuilding the input string

More or less the same for the multiplexer

Colateral thinking: take this as a Popup without gui capabilities

Clear enough now?

Here, a screenshot of what should be ( from my POV)

If its about numbers, use the graph (just like I used it here)

ah, gotcha. That is neater! I would vote for a comma-delimited list personally.

For that matter, I wish the conncter-type for string-arrays was different than a vague (S).

I've see it, but the whole idea would be "type agnostic", ie i've used a list of numbers in this example, but a list of strings should be posible ( in fact perfect should be a list of anything, but i find hard to define a view as a string)
