OS (e.g. Win10): Mac OS Catalina (10.15)
PsychoPy version (e.g. 1.84.x): 3.2.4
Standard Standalone? (y/n) If not then what?: y
What are you trying to achieve?: A new row in the output .csv file for every iteration of a loop (responses, RTs, etc.)
My data keeps getting overwritten every time the loop restarts with new stimuli.
I’ve visited this post already since it’s the exact same issue as I am having, but I can’t figure out how to fix it in my experiment since I’m not using the builder. Specifically, I was trying to find where the ‘is trial’ box from the loop handler is located in the code, but I was unsuccessful.
My code (apologies for the strange mix of psychopy / plain python code):
