How to add more output to a multi switch grayscale

Community Beginner ,
May 31, 2023 May 31, 2023

Hello, 

currently I want to have more then 20 outputs for my multi_switch_grayscale. I tried already a couple of things. 

I added more blend nodes, change the outputs to 20+ and higher.

change the Visible if to 20+

 

But my multi switch doesn't change after 20, it stays on 20, even it has way more nodes connected.

Did I forget something to change?

Hi

I've just added an additional 5 inputs to the multiswitch grayscale ( attached below ) and it works.

To do it I had to :

Open the reference, copy it and paste it into a new package for editing

Add the additional inputs, label each and ensure the visible if statement was added to each (incrementing the last number each time).

Add the additional blend nodes. I actually just used Ctrl+D to duplicate the previous then edited the Opacity function again incrementing the integer for each new node

Did you edit the function graph that drives opacity for each additional blend node?

You are right, I indeed didn't change the opacity layer.

I changed the opacity layers now, but I still won't go further then 20

I edited the graph input parameter for Input number to make the max 25

I edited the graph input parameter for Input Selection gain making the max 25.

Then I changed the graph label and name and saved the package

Thank you very much Dave, your file works for me, and I was able to add extra slots. Still not sure why my last one didn't work. I didn't do anything different this time. But at least it works now! Thanks!
