Sticky variables don't get correct values

Yes, that’s true, I needed to figure out how to get proper values out of the stickies, first. You know how it is, first the calculation should be correct then you continue on with the gimmicks. Previously I managed to make such functionality using multiple components: using data inputanddata output components change_slider_domain_v1.4.gh (7.0 KB). The problem I have here is that it appears to read/write with 1sec delay, and the value converges to the correct one too slow. Also, it requires a…

And not to the pictures I’ve sent to you over PM, which should stay in PM.

Now concerning this:

@piac

You can divide all the “Bulb settings” into a single input, and use your own class to input that as a single input. Make sure your input classes are immutable , and it will behave just great.
Then do the same for “Parallel Midship settings”… etc. Group them into settings/info/modes (like “Custom Mesh settings” works for inputting settings with sliders in “Mesh Brep”).

I learnt how to create custom types, but afterwards how can I get the data from them still avoids me. i.e. from goo to get the 3d object for example. But that’s a topic for a new thread (from the hundred yet to be created).

@piac

and use the way Grasshopper is supposed to work.

I wonder if Karamba guys got the same answers from McNeel when they were developing their very appealing and useful customization to their components? Btw I’ve read some of the threads on the old forums and McNeel were very helpful customizing how components look. Tasting the double standard, or perhaps over the years attitude towards customers changed? There were examples, a lot of them. The problem for them not being helpful to me is that they are in VB or Csharp. Especially VB is simply unreadable to me.
