Set Shape Position and Draw on Shapes

Coding

Hello! This is related to a Generating Shapes on top of Shapes using Mouse, but I felt I changed the script enough to make a new post. I cut up my larger script to just have the parts that are relevant to post here, and you’re welcome to look at the abridged script/try running it if you would like to download:
ShapePosSetScriptExample.py (3.2 KB)
Anyways, I am still struggling to get the Gabors to appear in replacement of the rectangles in this script. Here is the most relevant code:

all_pos = [pos_0_0_0, pos_0_0_1, pos_0_0_2, pos_0_1_0, pos_0_1_1, pos_0_1_2, pos_0_1_3, pos_0_2_0, pos_0_2_1, pos_0_2_2, 
           pos_1_0_0, pos_1_0_1, pos_1_0_2, pos_1_1_0, pos_1_1_1, pos_1_1_2, pos_1_1_3, pos_1_2_0, pos_1_2_1, pos_1_2_2, 
           pos_3_0_0, pos_3_0_1, pos_3_0_2, pos_3_0_3]

#========================================================================================#
# RECTANGLES & GABORS
rect = visual.Rect(win, width = 50, height = 50, units = 'pix', lineWidth = 5, lineColor = 'black', opacity = .2, autoDraw = False)
gabor = visual.GratingStim(win, tex = 'sin', mask = 'gauss', texRes=256, units = 'pix', opacity = 1,
                               size = 60, sf = .13, ori = 0, contrast = 1, name = 'gabor1')
#========================================================================================#
for i in range(0, 10): 
    rects = []
    for p in all_pos: 
        rect.pos = p
        rects.append(rect)
        rect.draw()
    win.flip(); paused = True

    while paused: 
        pressed_pos = []
        for r in rects: 
            if mouse.isPressedIn(r): 
                r_pos = r.pos; print(r_pos)
                gabor.setPos(r_pos)
                gabor.draw()
        if kb.getKeys('space'): 
            paused = False
    win.flip()

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions to get multiple shapes to appear after the rectangles disappear! Thank you all so much!!

Dear lilih,

You are only checking the last rectangle position, not all possible rectangles. So you essentially are just doing the same check for each position in your “all_pos” list.

r in rects (containing the object of “rect”). There is only one object “rect” ever. You never make more of them
Try making different named rectangles for each position, rather than just one rectangle object.
