As i'm starting to work with selector combinator i have already hit the wall, selector combinator cannot choose index by variables, only by constant number, so it means we cannot have a direct control on passed signal, to choose which one can be chosen, instead multiple selector comb has to be used if im correct
Instead of constant numbers can we add:
- using variables as integers?

Another thing is, selector combinator's select input option only picks one signal at a time, what about signal groups? Signal groups cannot be passed as a whole
What i mean is, we have a group of signals which could be passed as an index 0, and below index 1 in order from top to bottom

I cannot agree with statement suggesting that constant index is the only option, have you even tried clicking on the index slot and choosing a signal in the gui?

yes i have, have you tried that?
As im clicking on index choosing any signal, for example X with value 2 the output in selector combinator interface is only value 2

Either you are misunderstanding something or i am misunderstanding what you are trying to tell.

Variable index is already possible, value of a signal chooses index of a signal to be output, index signal itself is excluded from the selection. Second part about selecting multiple signals is unrelated in the discussion right now.

Oh wow, i found something confusing for me if you click on set constant, and also pick a signal for example B it will pick only the integer number
EDIT: Confusing here is that you can also click on the signal when choosing only constant value, i think we should [gray out/disable] signal picking when focusing 'set constant' window
but if you click on the check mark next to normal quality list it works fine, it will pick signal


what about second part of my post? is there any way to pick up groups?
