@Wang Z2

If you could send in your model or a sample model then we would be able to see exactly what you are trying to do. The easy answer, I think, might be to just write that value to a Global Variable instead of to a treenode?

You use the sampler tool and get a treenode reference to the node:

Model.find("Tools/UserCommands/command1/number1")

Then you need to get the value of this node:

Model.find("Tools/UserCommands/command1/number1").value

If you want to see that this works, you can write in the command2() the print command:

print(Model.find("Tools/UserCommands/command1/number1").value);

If you reset the model and execute the user command "command2()" in a script console window the value of the node is written in the output console.
