Hello, i am trying to build a typerwriter text animation, but when i ran it nothing happend, i have to wait like 3 mins for the animation to start
i heard it's because you have to set the starting after delay timer to 0?
how do you do that?

charred swallow Oct 7, 2023, 4:15 PM

#

Hey @acoustic fjord ! It should be something like on delay 1ms

#

Could you share an img of your interaction?

acoustic fjord Oct 7, 2023, 4:25 PM

#

oh sure

#

@charred swallow

#

i dont got img perms

charred swallow Oct 7, 2023, 4:28 PM

#

acoustic fjord i dont got img perms

Could you get verified in #verification ? That should help!

acoustic fjord Oct 7, 2023, 4:28 PM

#

oh ok

#

#

so when i run it, it takes around 3 mins for it to start

#

each varient has a 200ms delay

#

i got this off a tutorial

#

a person complained about it not running in the comments, and the person who posted the video responded with this

#

by starting timer does it mean the very first letter at the top, do i set it to 0 ms, it makes it 1ms though

#

plus i tried that and it still didnt work

#

so now it's just like this

charred swallow Oct 7, 2023, 4:32 PM

#

1ms should be fine 0 is not possible

acoustic fjord Oct 7, 2023, 4:32 PM

#

lemme try again

#

#

i made it 1ms

#

still doesnt work

#

just frozen

acoustic fjord Oct 7, 2023, 4:33 PM

charred swallow Oct 7, 2023, 4:46 PM

#

Hm that is definitely weird. I can tell that on my end it is working, so your interactions are setup correctly. Have you tried resetting the laptop or something?

#

Or could you try opening it from another device perhaps? like your phone or something?

acoustic fjord Oct 7, 2023, 4:47 PM

#

lemme restart my pc, i dont got enough experience in this

#

100%

charred swallow Oct 7, 2023, 4:47 PM

#

no you good! this seems more like a bug on Figma's part, and not a problem with what you are doing!

acoustic fjord Oct 7, 2023, 4:49 PM

#

i restarted my computer

#

its working

#

wait

#

it was working for a sec, then it stopped

charred swallow Oct 7, 2023, 4:52 PM

#

hmm thats weird

acoustic fjord Oct 7, 2023, 4:52 PM

#

so its working for u, but not for me weird

#

just to make sure

#

i just click on frame 1, then hit the run button

#

just right click then hit the run button?

charred swallow Oct 7, 2023, 4:55 PM

#

left click i think but yeah

#

i mean you can also select it the way you have been selecting it

acoustic fjord Oct 7, 2023, 4:56 PM

#

this is so weird

charred swallow Oct 7, 2023, 4:56 PM

#

you can try reporting it as a bug to figma

#

but i think it is working

#

im not sure why not on yours though

acoustic fjord Oct 7, 2023, 4:58 PM

#

we cant fix it

charred swallow Oct 7, 2023, 4:59 PM

#

i mean it doesnt seem to me that there is a problem with your setup since it does work

#

so it is more a bug from figma why it doesnt always work for you

#

you can try to open it from other devices and see if they work on other devices

acoustic fjord Oct 7, 2023, 4:59 PM

#

ok

charred swallow Oct 7, 2023, 4:59 PM

#

eg your phone or if you have another laptop or if you have someone next to you with another laptop etc

#

but it does work on my side, and it did work for you also for a second after you restarted your pc, so there is no problem with your setup.
