Description of the problem:
I have two internal loops, trials_neg and trials_pos: if participants are assigned short_start == 1, I want to skip trials_pos the first time they encounter it; there is an outer loop, outerLoop, with nReps == 2. In Javascript for Pavlovia (I’m not familiar with javascript), I am stuck!
In Each Frame, I try the following with no result:
if (short_start == 1) {
if (counter == 1) {
outerLoop.finished = true
}
else if (counter > 4) {
outerLoop.finished = true
} else {
continueRoutine = true
}
}
if (short_start == 0) {
if (counter > 3) {
outerLoop.finished = true
} else {
continueRoutine = true
}
}
Whether I use outerLoop.finished = true or currentLoop.finished = true doesn’t make a difference. I want to make it possible to skip trials_pos, and it doesn’t make a difference, whether this inner loop is skipped, or if the outer looped is restarted.
This works in the python part:
#counter
counter += 1
#if short_start group, we should exclude pos_trial on the first run
if short_start == 1:
if counter == 1:
break
elif counter > 4:
break
else:
pass
if short_start == 0:
if counter > 3:
break
else:
pass
In Begin Routine, I put
var short_start
var counter
counter++;
thinking that it will add 1 to the counter for each loop through trials_pos, and sometimes it says that short_start and counter are not defined, and I put them there, but it is probably wrong.
I know that there are other similar topics, but I simply cannot figure this one out.
Thank you!
