Set Shakker Labs Union ControlNet Type (SetShakkerLabsUnionControlNetType) - ComfyUI-KJNodes

The Set Shakker Labs Union ControlNet Type node receives a CONTROL_NET input and, based on the type parameter selected by the user, sets an additional parameter named control_type within the model.

The Set Shakker Labs Union ControlNet Type node is used to modify the type identifier of the incoming ControlNet model. Its core function is to allow users to specify or automatically detect the control type for a particular ControlNet model, ensuring it is correctly identified and processed in subsequent generation steps.

Node Function

This node receives a CONTROL_NET input and, based on the user-selected type parameter, sets an additional parameter named control_type within the model. Its technical implementation relies on a predefined mapping dictionary, SHAKKERLABS_UNION_CONTROLNET_TYPES, which maps human-readable type names to internal numeric identifiers. When "auto" is selected, the node clears this identifier, allowing subsequent processes to determine it automatically.

Node Parameter Description - Set Shakker Labs Union ControlNet Type

Connection Inputs (Inputs)

Parameter Name	Data Type	Required	Default Value	Value Range/Options	Description
`control_net`	CONTROL_NET	Yes	-	-	: Receives a CONTROL_NET model object to be processed, serving as the base input for the node's operation.

Control Parameters (Parameters)

Parameter Name	Data Type	Required	Default Value	Value Range/Options	Description
`type`	COMBO	Yes	auto	"auto"	: Specifies the control type for the ControlNet. Options include "auto" and all key names defined in the `SHAKKERLABS_UNION_CONTROLNET_TYPES` dictionary. Selecting "auto" delegates the determination to the system.

Output

Parameter Name	Data Type	Description
CONTROL_NET	CONTROL_NET	: Outputs a copy of the CONTROL_NET model with the updated control type parameter.

Usage Scenarios

In a complex workflow involving multiple different control conditions (such as depth maps, edge detection, pose maps), this node can be placed after a ControlNet loader. For example, when you are unsure of the specific type of a ControlNet model or need to forcibly specify its type to ensure compatibility with a particular preprocessor, you can use this node to set or reset it.

Notes

Please note that the effectiveness of this node depends on whether downstream nodes or workflows recognize and utilize the additional control_type parameter. If subsequent processes do not rely on this information, the setting may not produce the expected effect.
