It counts how many times a person presses spacebar after 'picking up garbage'. A picture of garbage appears, and when you press spacebar the picture dissappears and a new one will appear in a random time interval. So sometimes the new picture appears immediately, sometimes it takes a couple of seconds. This is done witch counter. We have included a text element in the corner of the screen which shows the number of times spacebar is pressed. The problem is, the counter delays the moment the picture is presented, but it also delays the text element which shows the number of times spacebar is pressed. This is because they are both included in the trials. When playing the game it is distracting that the text with the score also disappears and reappears. Would you know a solution for this, while still counting the number of times someone presses spacebar? Thank you, Sanne > The problem is, the counter delays the moment the picture is presented, but it also delays the text element which shows the number of times spacebar is pressed. This is because they are both included in the trials. I cannot comment on that because you did not share how you actually did this, i.e. the actual code. There is no reason per se why a trial cannot present one stimulus at time X and another stimulus at time Y. One need not delay the other. > When playing the game it is distracting that the text with the score also disappears and reappears. Would you know a solution for this, while still counting the number of times someone presses spacebar? Set the <text> element's /erase attribute to false. Thank you! The erase attribute actually solved the problem :)

I followed the instructions I found online, but there seems to be an error. The subjectid is coupled correctly. The problem is that when clicking the start button when Inquisit opens directly redirects you to Qualtrics. The finish page immediately opens, without the Inquisit game actually playing. I start to think there is something wrong in my script, but I am don't know what the problem could be. This is the link to the Qualtrics survey: https://psychru.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/preview/SV_bCq7EvFp4xmtv25?Q_SurveyVersionID=current&Q_CHL=preview I also attached the data files of Inquisit. The start file is the batch file "garbage_game" Thank you in advance for your help!

The start file is the batch file "garbage_game" Thank you in advance for your help! Sanne Your batch script tries to assign conditions based on subject number: <batch> /subjects = (1 of 2) /file = "surroundings.iqx" / groupassignment = subjectnumber </batch> <batch> /subjects = (2 of 2) /file = "environment.iqx" / groupassignment = subjectnumber </batch> Condition assignment is a mathematical operation, i.e. for this to work, subject IDs must be strictly numerical. Qualtrics IDs are not numerical, they're strings of letters and numbers, i.e. alphanumerical. As a consequence, no condition applies, and the batch immediately ends without any of the scripts having been run. Change the /groupassignment method to groupnumber and select an appropriate group ID generation method in your web experiment's settings.
