Hi all! I am trying to get participant’s result from a slider in the previous routine. I tried get.Rating function but it is not working. My exp looks like this right now: slider + feedback

Slider:  
In my\_slider routine I have a my\_slider1 component

my\_slider routine looks like this:

Feedback:  
In islider\_rating, I have a code and a text

code:  
rating = 0 before experiment, and  
rating = my\_slider1.getRating() in “begin Routine”

Text:

It always shows up 0, which is the value I initialized “rating” with. I am wondering why isn’t rating updated with the real slider rating?  
Can some one help me with this issue? Thank you very much!

Best,  
Fan

Hello Fan\_Bu,

you need to set the Text to **set every repeat** instead of **constant** (default).

Best wishes Jens
