ComfyUI Node: Delay Text Node (Creepybits)

Delay Text Node (Creepybits):

The DelayTextNode is a utility node designed to introduce a deliberate pause in the processing of text data. This node is particularly useful in scenarios where you need to synchronize text output with other processes or simply introduce a delay for effect. By leveraging this node, you can control the timing of text output, making it ideal for applications that require precise timing or pacing, such as interactive installations or timed text displays. The node operates by pausing execution for a specified number of seconds before returning the input text, allowing for a seamless integration of timed text elements into your creative projects.

Delay Text Node (Creepybits) Input Parameters:

seconds

The seconds parameter determines the duration of the delay before the text is returned. It is a floating-point number, allowing for precise control over the delay time. The minimum value for this parameter is 0.1 seconds, ensuring that even the shortest delays can be implemented. The default value is set to 1.0 seconds, providing a standard delay that can be adjusted as needed. This parameter is crucial for controlling the timing of text output, enabling you to synchronize text with other timed elements in your project.

text

The text parameter is the input string that you wish to delay. This parameter accepts any string value, which will be returned after the specified delay. The text input is essential for the node's operation, as it is the content that will be delayed and subsequently outputted. This allows you to manage the timing of text display in your projects effectively.

Delay Text Node (Creepybits) Output Parameters:

text

The text output parameter is the delayed string that is returned after the specified pause. This output is identical to the input text, but its delivery is controlled by the delay specified in the seconds parameter. The delayed text output is crucial for applications that require precise timing, as it allows you to manage when text is displayed or processed in relation to other elements in your project.

Delay Text Node (Creepybits) Usage Tips:

• Use the seconds parameter to fine-tune the timing of your text output, ensuring it aligns perfectly with other timed elements in your project.
• Consider using this node in interactive installations where text needs to appear at specific intervals to enhance user engagement.

Delay Text Node (Creepybits) Common Errors and Solutions:

Delay duration too short

• Explanation: The specified delay duration is less than the minimum allowed value of 0.1 seconds.
• Solution: Ensure that the seconds parameter is set to at least 0.1 seconds to avoid this error.

Text input is empty

• Explanation: The text parameter is empty, resulting in no content to delay.
• Solution: Provide a valid string for the text parameter to ensure the node functions correctly.
