In the stream gate component, you can only input one entity. The slider will define which gate to provide the output(one gate) so how are the other gates of use? Loving the tutorials, btw! Thanks you for all of them!

Hi Dee,
Thanks for your kind words and great question! So the way I usually use the stream gate component is to cycle through options using the input slider.
Let's say I have a grid of points as my input for my stream gate and I want to have 3 outputs:
The first output 0, I connect to a rectangle component
The second output 1, I connect to a polygon component
And the third output 2, I connect to a circle component.
Now Using the input slider I can cycle cycle between my rectangle, polygon or circle options using this slider.
Obviously you can make this as elaborate as you want, but the main idea is a method to cycle through options.
Best,
Arie
