BoolUnaryOperation
Flip a true to a false
- BOOLEAN
BoolUnaryOperation is as small as ComfyMath gets: one operation, Not, which flips a boolean - true becomes false and vice versa. There's no dropdown decision to make here, because there's only one thing a unary operation on a boolean can even mean. You reach for this when you've computed a condition somewhere else in the graph (with BoolBinaryOperation or FloatBinaryCondition, say) and you actually need the opposite of it - "run this unless X" instead of "run this if X."
How it works
a (BOOLEAN, default false) in, its inverse comes out. That's the entire operation.
The inputs and outputs that matter
- op - technically a dropdown, but with a single choice (
Not) there's nothing to pick between. - a - the boolean to invert.
- Output - a single BOOLEAN, the logical opposite of
a.
Installing it
ComfyUI Manager: search ComfyMath, install, restart. Manually:
cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes && git clone https://github.com/evanspearman/ComfyMath
then restart. No extra pip dependencies, no models - the whole pack installs in under a minute.
Common issues
Given how simple this node is, there's really only one thing to know: it doesn't route anything on its own. Inverting a condition is only half the job - you still need a downstream node built to actually consume a boolean and branch or gate on it (rgthree-comfy's Any Switch is a common choice for that), since ComfyMath's own node set doesn't include a general switch. This node just gives you the flipped answer; something else has to act on it.
Because it's a single, trivial pure-function node - no external calls, no state, nothing that touches the filesystem or a model - it's about as low-risk as a custom node gets, and correspondingly the least likely node in this whole pack to ever be the actual cause of a problem you're debugging. If your workflow isn't behaving the way you expect after adding a Not, the far more likely culprit is what you're feeding into it or what's consuming its output, not the inversion itself.
Same standing note as the rest of ComfyMath: no active maintenance since roughly early 2024 by community accounts, which for a node this size genuinely doesn't matter - there's nothing here that a ComfyUI update is likely to break in the first place.
Worth a mental note if you're new to the pack: ComfyMath keeps unary and binary operations as separate node types throughout (BoolUnaryOperation here versus BoolBinaryOperation for two-input logic, and the same split for floats, ints and the generic NUMBER type). If you go looking for Not and land on BoolBinaryOperation's dropdown instead, you're one node off - its eight operations are all two-input gates, and inversion lives here.
