Hi Dave,

Thanks for your reply. I followed everything you said and now what happens is that when I press on the keys (either e or i - doesn't matter), it automatically goes to the next page without letting me play the game. What do you think the problem might be?

Thanks!

I cannot tell you without you providing the relevant code. If I were to hazard a guess, you have probably misspecified the /branch attributes. You *must* use keyboard scancodes as already detailed in my previous reply.

Hi Dave,

Here's the relevant code for one of the conditions. I don't think I'll be able to solve this without your help. Thanks in advance!

Please review my 1st reply where you will find all of this already covered. You need to do this

<trial yourturnexcludedbyA>
/ stimulusframes = [1=ball3, blank2, blank1]
/ validresponse = (*enter scancode for player 1 key*, *enter scancode for player 2 key*)
/ inputdevice = keyboard
/ branch = [if (trial.yourturnexcludedbyA.response == *enter scancode for player 1 key*) trial.player1turnexcludedbyA3to1]
/ branch = [if (trial.yourturnexcludedbyA.response == *enter scancode for player 1 key*) trial.player2turnexcludedbyA3to2]
</trial>

throughout. For help with scancodes please review the respective documentation topic and see Tools -> Keyboard Scan Codes...
