URL of experiment: spacegame_real_beforemergence [PsychoPy]
Description of the problem:
Hi, I am running quite a complicated experiment that has several nested loops and jumps across routines – therefore I hestiated to post here, because I believe that it might be tricky to describe it fully. Anyway, here it is:
I am reading an excel file into each loop: opt_exp_loop and the loop called exp_loop. Depending on different conditions that need to be fulfilled by the participants, the name of each excel file changes in order to read in a new excel file for the nex time around.
It works out with the inner loop (opt_exp_loop) which calls four stimuli correctly from the correct file.
However, it does not work for the outer loop (exp_loop) even though the correct excel file name is printed into the logfile. This problem only occurs online only but runs smoothly locally. I have tried to integrate the new excel file at multiple instances:
a) at the the ‘checkswitch’ routine in the ‘each frame’ tab
b) in the ‘finish_exp’ routine in the ‘begin each routine’ tab
c) pred_stim_exp in the ‘each frame’ tab
So this means, I am checking stuff in ‘checkswitch’ and according to some conditions met, it should change the name of the excel file for the next time around → which would affect the path for the stimuli that are being read for ‘pred_stim_exp’ routine.
The details of the loops look like this (this is the one not working:)
I would be super helpful for any help as I have been trying to solve this now for a long time. If you need more information or access to the experiment, do let me know.
Thanks,
Nadescha
