EmAySee Random String SelectorFourChoice

The four-way random string selector - the biggest fixed-size member of this pack's picker family. Four string inputs, one random.randint(0, 3) roll, one winner out. If your variation pool is a tidy four (four style tags, four character descriptions, four poses), this is the node for it.

How it works

string_input_1 through string_input_4 in, RANDOM_SELECTED_STRING out. Every run picks a uniform random index 0–3 and returns the matching string, so each slot gets exactly a 1-in-4 shot. Wire the output to a CLIP Text Encode, a prompt combiner, a filename prefix - anywhere a string flows.

The honest version

The implementation is the same handful of lines as the 2- and 3-way versions, plus one more branch. And one thing to know: the code prints the random choice to the console on every run (print(random_choice)), which is harmless but means your ComfyUI log will fill with single digits if you run this in a tight batch loop. Nothing breaks; it's just noise.

Seed? No.

There's no seed input and no way to replay a pick. That's consistent with the 2- and 3-way siblings: these are unseeded by design, for pure variety. If you need reproducibility, the pack's 20-slot EmAySee_RandomStringSelector takes a seed. And if four fixed slots are the wrong shape - you want a bigger pool, or slots that appear and disappear as your needs change - that same 20-slot node is the scalable option.

Installing it

Part of ComfyUI_EmAySee_CustomNodes. ComfyUI Manager → search the pack title → Install, or:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/EmAySee/ComfyUI_EmAySee_CustomNodes
# restart ComfyUI

Under EmAySee_Utils, no dependencies. Note the display name renders as "EmAySee Random String SelectorFourChoice" with no space - it looks like a typo in the menu but it's just how the author registered it.

Bottom line

Four inputs, one roll, zero configuration. It's the picker you reach for when your pool is exactly four and you'd rather spend zero seconds setting it up.
