Selecting one condition for practice before the actual routine

[Bruno_Dalpiaz]

Hey @dvbridges

I’m approaching this issue using what you posted on my last topic.

Introductory text on each routine for first iteration only
To ensure instructions appear on your first iteration of the experiment only, see the code component in the attached Builder file - we will use EMRI as an example. In the code component, you need to initiate a counter at the beginning of the experiment:

cancelEmriText = 0

Then, add the following at the beginning of a routine, to ensure the text is only written on the first iteration:

    cancelEmriText = cancelEmriText + nReps2 # nReps2 because see EMRI loop handler
    emriText.setText("Intro to EMRI")
    emriText.setAutoDraw(True)
    win.flip()
else:
    continueRoutine = False
    pass

Then, at the end of the routine, turn off autodraw:

if cancelEmriText > 0:
    emriText.setAutoDraw(False)
    win.flip()

I tried this in the rmet_exemplo loop and it’s almost working, but the main problem is that the image I need to appear is not showing, just a gray rectangle. Also, the rmet_example loop is repeating everytime, like rmet_exemplo routine → oRMET (until all the conditions are finished). The rmet_exemplo routine shows a gray image with the word options that will appear next in the oRMET routine. Let me know if you need a better explanation.

What can I do to select the image I desire to appear in this routie example?

here are the coder specifications:
Begin experiment:
cancelimagem_exemplo = 0

Begin Routine:

if Tarefas_loop.thisN <= 2 and not cancelimagem_exemplo > 0:
    cancelimagem_exemplo = cancelinstrucoes_1 + nReps1
    imagem_exemplo.setAutoDraw(True)
    win.flip()
else:
    continueRoutine = False
    pass

End Routine:

if cancelimagem_exemplo > 0:
    myText.setAutoDraw(False)
    win.flip()

Maybe a command different from the .setText one. Any suggestions?
