What are you trying to achieve?:
Display a series of looped images in rapid succession without delays or lags.
What did you try to make it work?:
Tried to include static components to preload images.
What specifically went wrong when you tried that?:
Condition in loop did not execute properly and images were not presented as they should’ve been.

Hello! I am trying to present a series of ‘location’ images before presenting a final ‘person’ image in a looped sequence. Namely, 1-4 ‘location’ images are randomly presented, anywhere between 500-1000ms each, before a ‘person’ image is randomly presented for 650ms. There are 18 possible ‘location’ images and 80 possible ‘person’ images. However, when I do this, it starts out fine, but after a while there is a noticeable delay, when the last ‘location’ image switches to the ‘person’ image. The delay grows longer and longer until the ‘person’ image doesn’t show anymore. Here is a screenshot of the Builder:
‘ContextLoop1’ specifies the ‘location’ images, and ‘trials1’ specifies the person images (as well as how many times this whole thing repeats, which is twice).
I believe that this happens because it takes time to load the images; however, I am not sure what the best way to preload the images would be given how quickly the images need to be presented. Please advise!
