[behzad1]

thank u GerdW

can u tell me how can I use of visibilty of an object? for example, I Have 5 water tank but I want see just 2 of them. user Enter 2, and 3 water tank invisible.

Hi behzad,

when you have more than one instance of the very same indicator you should use an array…

Use an array of "water tanks" and set the number of visible elements using a property node!

Hi GerdW and tnx

I used Array, but Array cant output binary number to control more than 1 object. can I set to binary numbers?

Hi behzad,

but Array cant output binary number to control more than 1 object. can I set to binary numbers?

How is "water tank level" related to outputting binary numbers?

When you have numeric controls you can set them to show binary formatted number in their property dialog (when they are using integer represantations!).

tnx,

visibility block input of water tank is true false or binary format. I cant find binary format for an array, can u address me please?

Hi behzad,

to requote my post: "set the number of visible elements using a property node!"

The number of elements is NOT a boolean value, it's an integer…

[behzad1]

No, i want invisible some of object(some of tank) in running program. each object has invisible block that active with a boolean number.

Hi behzad,

you need to wire a boolean wire to each "visible" property node…

Please attach a picture so we know waht you are talking about!

[behzad1]

I attached the picture.

we dont know the number of tank, result, I want user select invisible tanks with an array with zero one boolean number.

Hi behzad,

when you want tu use this array to control visibility you should make it an integer array…

Use ">0" comparison followed by IndexArray to get your bits!

Other approach: use a scalar integer numeric input, set it's display format to "%b" and use "number to bool array" to get your boolean array controlling the visibility…
