Yes, these are covered by the help topic for the /select command:

Hello, 3x,

If I want to find the role of "current" or "linked", they can be found in Help of Inquisit?

Best Regards.

Malte is absolutely correct. Thanks for adding this! In this case, using "current" instead of "linked" would be the way to go...

Dave is right, in principle, but see the last post in this thread:

http://www.millisecond.com/forums/Topic1593.aspx

In short, the "linked" option is considered deprecated and should be replaced by "current" or "next".

Best wishes, Malte.

The meaning of life, err, I mean, linked:

The two counters <counter oddsa> and <counter payoffa> are linked. First, one of the items from oddsa is selected (randomly without replacement), e.g. 70. Because of the linked setting, the corresponding element from payoffa automatically gets selected, e.g. 30.

Best,

The following syntax is from the framing script. Can you tell me What is meaning of "linked"?

<counter oddsa>
/ select = noreplace
/ items = (10, 20, 30, 40, 60, 70, 80, 90)
</counter>

<counter payoffa>
/ select = linked(oddsa)
/ items = (90, 80, 70, 60, 40, 30, 20, 10)
</counter>

By the way, I need a script that having computation role in screen, for example, the number or text " 4+5= " flashed in the screen, and then the subject can give the result "8" by the keyboard. Which friend have it? Many thanks.

Best, Hehe
