Hi, everyone. Is there a straightforward way in Inquisit 5 to display a word in the center of the screen and, with a keypress, move it diagonally - that is, toward the lower-left corner with one keypress, lower-right corner with another keypress, and similarly upper-left and upper-right?

To add - ideally, I'd like to be able to set how quickly the motion happens. For instance, it would take 2 seconds for the word to move into a particular corner. Thank you!

This should be possible using the /animation attribute of the respective <text> elements. Something like this should work, I think.

<text stimulus>
/ items = myitems
</text>

<item myitems>
/ 1 = "A"
/ 1 = "B"
/ 1 = "C"
/ 1 = "D"
</item>

<text stim_to_lower_left>
/ items = myitems
/ select = text.stimulus.currentindex
/ animation = path(2000, -1, 50%, 50%, 10%, 90%)
</text>

<text stim_to_lower_right>
/ items = myitems
/ select = text.stimulus.currentindex
/ animation = path(2000, -1, 50%, 50%, 90%, 90%)
</text>

// press e to move to lower left
// press i to move to lower right
<trial mytrial>
/ stimulusframes = [1=stimulus]
/ validresponse = (18,23)
/ branch = [
    if (trial.mytrial.response==18) trial.to_lower_left else trial.to_lower_right
]
</trial>

<trial to_lower_left>
/ stimulusframes = [1=clearscreen, stim_to_lower_left]
/ validresponse = (0)
/ trialduration = 2000
</trial>

<trial to_lower_right>
/ stimulusframes = [1=clearscreen, stim_to_lower_right]
/ validresponse = (0)
/ trialduration = 2000
</trial>

<block myblock>
/ trials = [1-4 = mytrial]
</block>
