Use of property node to get value from control

[Tombech84]

Hello All

I know that you should keep the use of local variables to a minimum to avoid race conditions. Is this the same problem if using property node from eg. a numeric control?

The reason I want to do this is to keep wires from crossing when I need to use a control from one side of the diagram in the other side of the diagram..

Basically to make the diagram simple and nice to look at.

Hope this makes sense! 

Have a nice day! 

Kind regards

Exactly. It also possibly creates race conditions and should not be used. Using wires to connect the terminals is the only "save" approach.

Additionally, the performance decreases by the following order:

- terminal (+)

- variable (0)

- property node set to value (-)

Thats why I love this forum; posted the question and 4 minutes later the answer is here:o)

Awesome! 

Thanks for the very quick response Norbert!

Have a nice day!

Without seeing your diagram if you are running into issues with crossing wires you might want to consider reorganizing your code. Perhaps a different architecture such as a state machine or a producer/consumer architecture would help to clean things up. If you are looking to use locals or property naodes to cleanup the diagram that is usually a sign that some code cleanup is required.

Hello

Well the code isn't bad at all, I just wanted to avoid crossing lines in general I think it is ugly 🙂

The reason I asked was just to avoid one line crossing 5 others, so thats all! 

But i appreciate the suggestion!
