Accessing Data Dam's delay and mode

Hi.

This script allows one to access Data Dam component via the NickName of its first input (was made possible thanks to Anders Deleuran’s comment) and set Data Dam’s delay to such of one’s preference.
The script also exposes Data Dam’s mode of operation, allowing you to switch between “Always, Never and Delayed” modes.
You can manually expire the dam by interacting with “Force update” button, which is useful for heftier projects.

Feel free to use, share and modify the provided file as per your needs.

Have you tried the data signal component?

No, I’ve never heard of it, and I can’t seem to find a component with an exact name. If an external plugin is required, I can’t use it.

Edit: I see it’s specific for Rhino 9 WIP. I, unfortunately, can’t use that as well.
