Gh-Player how to set up Get with preview

[Tom_P]

question

gh_player_toggle_00.gh (9.9 KB)

the attached definition is just a minimal demo with some fake logic / geometry generation.
I am interessed in the 3rd step (“Get Boolean” when the definition is played.

-_grasshopperplayer "....gh_player_toggle_00.gh"

is there any possibility to set the Get Boolean to not finish the command, but preview the result ?

correct command behaviour - no output

gh_player_toggle_01.gh (9.4 KB)

setting at least (1) / at most (9999) in the Get Boolean context Menu i can get the behaviour i would love to see.
But I can not finish the input with pressing enter. (only after clicking 9999 times ;-D)
so there never be any result in the doc…

is this a bug ?
do I miss something ?

how to use the Get-Components to generate preview while the user is interacting. (the same question can be applied to Get Number and others…) ? is this possible ?
check rhino’s rectangle command.
_rectangle 0 100 345
while typing 3 4 5 you will see a preview…

( I know this can be done with a plugin and display conduit … but I would love to see a vanilla gh solution)

thanks

@kike
looks like you are involved with the player - functionality.
may I ask you to have a look at this topic - or address it to the right person - thanks.

Hi @Tom_P,

Now Get Boolean will expose a ‘Toggle’ option if it has a default value.

To finish the ‘Orientation’ get you can enter a value with the keyboard, click on False, True or hit Enter to accept the default value in <>.

Now you also have the Undo option that allow you to go back to the previous get.

This will be available on 8.14.

To implement what you suggested on your second question I would wait to 9.x.
