Show INT
A print() for your integer wires
- STRING
Show INT is a debugging node, full stop. You wire an integer into it - a seed, a step count, a size pulled off another node - and it displays the value in the UI and hands the same value back out as text. It's the ComfyUI equivalent of a print(), for people who'd rather glance at the graph than read the console.
There isn't much mechanism to it, and that's the point. It's an output node, so its result shows up in ComfyUI's output area. It converts the incoming int to a string and returns it as a STRING output. One detail worth knowing: forceInput is on, which means you can't type a number into the box - it has to come from another node's output. That's deliberate: this is a wire-tapper, not an editor.
Where it earns its place: you're iterating on a seed or debugging why a workflow only works with certain dimensions, and you want to see the actual value flowing through a wire without adding a whole preview node. Or you've built something with a math node (this pack has Int and Float math operations too) and want to sanity-check the result mid-graph. And because it passes the value through as a STRING, you can chain it into a text display or save node if you want the number in your output metadata. It's a sibling to Show Text and Show Float in the same pack.
One quirk to know before you hunt for it: the category is registered as "ZSQ/Stinrg" - a typo for "String" in the author's code. So the node doesn't sit under a neatly spelled "ZSQ/String" folder; use the search box and type "Show INT" instead. Also, it's registered with INPUT_IS_LIST = True, so it expects list-form inputs like the pack's other text utilities - in practice that just means feeding it a batched integer works fine.
Install is the same for every node in this pack: ComfyUI Manager, search "zsq_prompt", install, restart. Or by hand:
cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/windfancy/zsq_prompt
then restart ComfyUI. The requirements.txt is heavy (transformers, opencv-python, onnx, ultralytics, timm) but almost all of it pays for the pack's image and segment side - this node needs none of it and no model files. The README is essentially empty, so expect no docs.
Honestly, you'd install this pack for its stylers and image tools, not for this. But when you need to see what an integer is doing, it beats squinting at the console - and that's a fair job for a tiny node. One last thing: if Manager ever tells you zsq_prompt conflicts with another pack while you don't even have it installed, that's a known false alarm. Ignore it unless your graph actually uses these nodes.
