Dot Probe Script Issue-- Image not appearing despite being selected

Hello,

We worked off the sample dot probe paradigm script to create our own experiment, which worked just fine when we ran it on Mturk a few weeks ago. However, we made a few changes, and now we cannot get certain images to show up on the screen during the task, despite the data file saying that the images were selected. 

Basically we have four types of image pairs. Two of the types show both of the images just fine. However, the other two image pairs are basically the same image twice, and in these trials, one of the images does not show up. Despite the two images being the same .png file, we have each image selected from two separate lists to try and prevent any confusion in the script. 

The script is long and complicated, so I'm not sure which part to paste here. We have compared our original script to our current one over and over,and for the life of us, cannot find the issue! Any help whatsoever would be appreciated. 


Thanks so much,

Jen
