If the node is not working correctly, wouldn't it be better for you to raise an issue with the node author?

I thought, maybe someone here would know the answer
and maybe it is working correctly, that im doing it wrong

@IvarMvl

This node hasn't been updated for more than 3 years.
But it's a simple node, so you need to count the number of msgs until 3 and get an output?
Maybe I can post another solution.

5

so when you put the node in a closed loop it loops 3 times through the fist output and the fouth time its meant to send the message to a second output out of the same node so it can break off

6

Do you need the first output? it seems to me that it's only used for the _loopController.

7

this is what the node help said

.
Allow a message to pass through this node for an specific number of times, after which it will be discarded, unveiling the ability to limit the loops over a flow to N times.

If Else Output is activated, a second output is enabled that will receive the message once when the repetitions have been exhausted

8

A simple function (set Outputs to 2) to replace the repeat node (not really sure it's what you need)

var count = context.get('count') || 0;
var msg2 = {};

if (count < 3) {
    count++;
    msg2 = null;
} else {
    count = 0;
    msg2 = msg;
    msg = null;
}

context.set('count', count);

return [msg, msg2];
