Use inverse of Boolean variable to show/hide layer

This has been mentioned here:

I am looking for the availability to HIDE a layer when a Boolean variable is TRUE and SHOW it when it is FALSE. So, the inverse of the default/current behavior. I want to do this without using components.

Use case: When a variable is true, show one frame. When that same variable is false, show a different frame.

I can get basically this by using two different variables:

but it would be more convenient to be able to do it with just one. Just give me a Boolean toggle when the variable is used to say if the variable should be inverted or not.

    Two years later and we still dont have this functionality. Figma could improve a lot its prototyping capacity by integrating conditional rendering based on booleans. Currently everytime im working on a prototype that needs conditional rendering i have to duplicate a single boolean so that each one affects one layer by its own, and it is a real headache that makes us work slower.

      Chiming in to express a need for this, but more specifically for properties on a component, not necessarily as a true “variable”.

      My use case: “entangling inverse states of layers via boolean”
      e.g. “Copy Block” layer paired with “Copy” Boolean.

      When “Copy” boolean = TRUE, “Copy Block” is visible. 
      At that same moment, I need “Logo” to be toggled off/invisible.

      I’m essentially entangling layers together so they can not exist together. The Boolean drives that.
      So “Copy” means “no logo”, and “No copy” means “logo”.

      Enabling this feature unlocks a lot more versatility without having to make individual variants for all these situations.
