InstantForum 2017-1 FinalMillisecond Forumshttps://forums.millisecond.com/Millisecond ForumsMon, 09 Nov 2026 07:16:36 GMT20https://forums.millisecond.com/Topic34400.aspxHi all,<br/><br/>according to the Inquisit 6 help and in line with an old forum post for Inquisit 4, it looks as though Inquisit can only record whether the mousewheel is moved as a response to a trial, but not whether that movement was upwards or down. Just wanted to confirm: is this still the case? If so, is there any way to read a mousewheel movement's direction via code or something in order to set up an / isvalidresponse property? For example, I can treat the mouse cursor position as a "response" (albeit without writing to the trial's response property) using code like:<br/><br/>/ isvalidresponse = [abs(mouse.y - display.screenheight/2) &gt; 100]<br/><br/>Is there anything analogous I could do to read a mousewheel input's direction?<br/><br/>Many thanks!<br/>Thu, 09 Jun 2022 21:28:32 GMTAKrishnahttps://forums.millisecond.com/Topic34401.aspx<blockquote data-id="34400" class="if-quote-wrapper" unselectable="on" data-guid="1654809840680" id="if_insertedNode_1654809839970" contenteditable="false"><a class="quote-para" unselectable="on" style="display: none;" href="#" data-id="34400" title="Move Cursor Below" contenteditable="false"><span unselectable="on">+</span></a><a class="quote-delete" unselectable="on" style="display: none;" href="#" data-id="34400" title="Delete Quote" contenteditable="false"><span unselectable="on">x</span></a><span unselectable="on" class="quote-markup">[quote]</span><div unselectable="on" class="if-quote-header" contenteditable="false"><div unselectable="on" class="if-quote-toggle-wrapper"><a class="if-quote-toggle quote-link" href="#" data-id="34400" title=" ">&nbsp;</a></div><span unselectable="on" class="quote-markup">[b]</span>AKrishna - 6/9/2022<span unselectable="on" class="quote-markup">[/b]</span></div><div class="if-quote-message if-quote-message-34400"><div class="if-quote-message-margin" contenteditable="true">Hi all,<br/><br/>according to the Inquisit 6 help and in line with an old forum post for Inquisit 4, it looks as though Inquisit can only record whether the mousewheel is moved as a response to a trial, but not whether that movement was upwards or down.
