Question about setting up inputs on custom nodes

[TooManyDemons]

Some of the core nodes only reveal an additional input slot if the first one is filled. I would like to set up this function in my own custom nodes. Could someone please tell me how to do this?
I noticed a 'visible if' slot and read about it in the manual, but am still not exactly sure how it works. It's something I'd probably use more often, but I can't find a tutorial specifically on using it.
Thanks in advance

Hey pawnswizard,

the VisibleIf-function is simply a description about the visibility of a node or a parameter.
It is driven by the values (inputs) of parameters, this is why you'll need to start with 'input["name"]'.

You can't make primary inputs visible based on other primary inputs, unfortunately. The 'input' just works with Integer, Float and Boolean values. What you can do, though, is to create a Drop-Down list or something else that will let you choose how many primary inputs you want (like in the multi switch nodes)

Hope that helps

Thanks, i'll look into it. Time to do some experimenting.
