well simplified and understood. Thank you.
thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you like it!
absolutely amazing video! Fantastic!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you like it!
Serezha, thanks a lot!! You're a great teacher!
😅 thank you!!
Thank you Sergei!
Thank you too!
Very concise explanation. Thank you!
Thank you for feedback! Glad you liked it!
super nice, thanks !
I’m happy you like it!
The best explaination so far regarding the variables I was not able to understand others but your stuff is cool . Im subscribing to your content. Peace!
Thank you for feedback! I’m glad it helped!
Amazing. Thanks
Glad you liked it!
Thanks a lot! This is awesome:)
Glad you like it!☺️
Amassing tutorial thank you 🎉
You’re welcome 😊
I can tell. Figma got the most resourceful and smartest and most innovative people in web app right now.
totally agree with you!🤝
you can become a great teacher
Thank you so much! I’m working on it!☺️
plz, continue the series. Your content is really great. Can you fix the sound issue? It will be really helpful
Sure, I’ll try! Thank you for your feedback!
@@Sergei-Chyrkov hi , i am not getting the change to option in prototype it is in disable state only
Hi! Please check: 1 - if you are working with a Variant inside the Component. 2 - if you have any other interactions on this object, there should only be one.
Nice and simple to understand the whole process, i was asking for local variants for individual who are using free plan in figma how can we use that?
thanks for feedback! I think on a free plan you can only use one mode.
Thanks for the tutorial! In addition to this, is it possible to change the minus button to "disabled" (when there's a Disabled variant) state when the number hits 1?
Thanks for feedback! Sure, you need to make a separate “disabled” variant of the component and than add a conditional in prototype to activate “disabled” variant when it hits 1. I hope this helps!😌
Hi. At around 5:35s, why did you add a second auto layout? The minus, plus and O were already in auto layout. Thanks!
Hey!👋 yes, probably you can leave in one AL, but I guess I'm doing automatically because when you will be building it for example in Framer/WebFlow or HTML, I believe you'll will need this extra AL for better structure.
Thank you Sergei, because that was a wonderful explanation. Please, I have a question. I copied the final work in 3 copies, and the moment I clicked + on one of the copies, the numbering was added in three layers. How can you fix the numbering of the three layers to be independent, thanks in advance.
Hey! Correct, you need to make different variables for each case, because Figma sees it like one same component.
Thank you for this! I have a question. When i did this and use various instances, when i click + or - they all change. Do I need to create multiple versions manually or is there a way to duplicate without them all controling each other?
Hey! Thanks for feedback! Yes, since you are changing one specific variable A, which affects another specific variable B, will change all the B variables. In this case you need to make other modes or different variable pairs. I hope this helps!🙌
@@Sergei-Chyrkov thank you!
You are welcome!
If I need multiple counters, how do I make them count independently? Clicking the "plus" button on one counter seems to trigger the others whether I click them or not. Thanks in advance for any tips/advice!
Hey!👋 it is a great question. The problem it that your using the same variable for all counters. Try to make separate variables for other counters.
I have just followed this and works great. Only issue I am having is that when I have more than one counter on the same page it is applying to all of them, rather than just the one that is clicked. Is it becasue I made it into a reusable component? If not any soloutions?
Yes exactly, that’s because you are using same variables and component in all cases. Try to set up different variables for each case.
@@Sergei-Chyrkov makes sense, thanks for the reply
you are welcome!
Hi! Great video, is there a way to duplicate the counter and have them operate separately? I duplicated it and tested it in presentation mode but when I press the "+" button, it triggers both counters. Thanks!
Ah, just saw another comment about adding another variable and using the new one for each counter. THANK YOU!!!!!
Thanks for the feedback! It is correct. This happens because both counters are using the same variables. Try to make different variables for each counter.
@@Sergei-Chyrkov Thanks! I have 2 counters. Top one starts at 2 and bottom one starts at 0. They can both be adjusted either way. I added a reset button but I cant figure out what interaction will reset the counters to their respective numbers, 2 and 0.
hi! try to use variables as a starting point and set the conditional to equal these variables so that number will not go lower than the number.
I used this and when you put multiple counters in a frame, they all do the same thing. How can I get them to work indvidually?
That’s correct because you use the same component and variables. Try to use different variables for each component.
08:45 the separate set variable is not available for the free Figma version so what will I do?
I guess you’ll need to get a Pro license … 🙂
@@Sergei-Chyrkov That's sad 😢, is there any other possible way?
unfortunately )
Hi, I get stuck renaming layers. When I hit Command + R, it just reloads my page. I've scoured the internet on how to get to renaming layers but all the shortcuts does not get me there. Help!
Hey! I guess this happens because you are using Figma in your browser. Try to do it in Figma App, it should work.
If I'm using multiple counters, how can I make them move independently? Currently, whenever I click the "plus" on one button, it triggers the counter on all my buttons at once.
yeah thats kinda annoying
true, this is because you are using one component. Try to use separate variables for each counter.
hello friend, is there a way to make an animations with variants set to switch after a delay and have a frame count when swapped to?
i want to make an animation where it plays a loop 5 times and then switches to a variant of the animation for 1 pass. is that possible?
Hey! Yes, I believe you can make it by creating an interactive component and setting after delay with a loop animation there. Check out my other video on my channel about Like Counter, it may help. Good luck!🙌
if i am not wrong, setting multiple variables is available only on the paid version of Figma, is that true?
Yes, to use multiple "Modes" you need to have Pro License
He forgot to say that we can only use variables in interactions if only we have premium 🤣🤣
Are you still using free version!?😱😱
tell me shortcut
CMD+R for Mac and CTRL+R for Win
plz, what can I do when the digit in one card is O and in other cards can be various from 0 to 15 for example? And there are three cards on the screen (like counter of likes): the first has 0 likes, the second has 3 likes and the third has 7 likes. I as a user can add one like each card 🙏It's easy if you start from 0 - everything works correctly, but if you start from any other number it doesn't work. Because it resets the digit to 0 and works from there.
hey! I guess you can have several different values in your variables (e.g. 0, 3, 7), so these will be your starting points for each card. Then you'll have to play around with conditionals and do some Math 😅
it's not for free this variable
yes some of the features are only available on the paid licenses
This is variable??🤨
yes) local variables)
3:21 come again plz..i using laptop not MAC
try CTRL+R
corrijo, estas usando windows no mac. la tecla Cmd es Crtl en Windows
Thank you)))
How can we get the paid version for free😂
That is a good question!🤔😅
@@Sergei-Chyrkov 😂 really ...there are so many features which is not in free version😣😢😭
well that's life😅 are you doing your work for free?) probably no, so you have to pay for your tools)
se necesita Figma de pago para implementar este tipo de funciones en los prototipos, pero gracias por enseñarnos
Unfortunately yes, some functionality is limited in a free license version
