A node that allows you to switch between execution flow

How to install it in ComfyDeploy?

Head over to the machine page

  1. Click on the "Create a new machine" button
  2. Select the Edit build steps
  3. Add a new step -> Custom Node
  4. Search for Floodgate and select it
  5. Close the build step dialig and then click on the "Save" button to rebuild the machine

ComfyUI Floodgate

This is an Extension for ComfyUI, which allows you to easily control the logic flow!

<p align="center"><img src="workflow.png"></p> <h3 align="center">Motivation</h3>

While Hires. Fix (or similar workflows) can significantly improve the output, it also takes a longer time to process. Thus, many will simply run the base resolution until a good seed is found before enabling it. However, for ComfyUI this means connecting and disconnecting multiple nodes every single time...

<h3 align="center">Solution</h3>

Introducing, Floodgate! <br> Simply toggle between the logic flows. No more reconnecting multiple nodes!

<h3 align="center">How to Use</h3>

Connect the output of a node (eg. LATENT) to the source of the Floodgate node, then connect each path to the desired remaining workflow. Simply click on gate_open to toggle between the paths to take. The path not chosen will not be executed. Furthermore, since ComfyUI caches the intermediate results, opening the Floodgate will not require the precedent nodes to be processed again!

<h3 align="center">Features</h3>
  1. Connect any arbitrary types
    • (input/output types still have to match)
  2. Multiple Floodgates in one workflow
  3. Control each Floodgate individually
<hr>

Note: The logic flow is parsed during the queuing stage, not the execution stage. As a result, the boolean value has to be already determined when you press Queue Prompt, such as from the toggle or a primitive node. If you use a node that outputs a boolean during execution, this will not work.
