Hello all!
I'm brand new to Inquisit and have found myself in a bit of jam. The basic idea of what I would like to do is to populate an array with 4 pictures. These pictures would be randomly chosen from a set of pictures within a category, which would be randomly chosen from a set of 10 categories. Further, no category can repeat within the array (e.g. if the first position of the array has an object from category1, then the second, third, and fourth positions can not have an object from category 1, and so on). I also have to have a mask object and test object chosen from the same category as the corresponding array object (e.g. first array position has a picture from category1, then the mask and test object which will appear there will be from category1). I can get the array to populate with objects, my issue is with the categorization aspect and not repeating categories as well as being able to select masks and tests from the same category.
So, I'm wondering if something along the lines of the following is going to head me in the right direction:
<items categories>
/1 = "category1"
/2 = "category2"
...
/10 = "category10"
</items>
<items category1objects>
/1 = "cat1.jpg"
/2 = "cat2.jpg"
...
</items>
And then something like:
<list possibleCategories (or "possibleobjects"?)>
/items = (1, 2, 3, 4...10)
</list>
If this is in the right direction, how could I call the set of objects from a category after initially selecting a specific category? If this isn't going in the right direction, does anyone have an idea of how to go about this or can they direct me to something that could show me?
Hopefully this is all clear. If not let me know and I will try and clarify.
Thank you soooo much for the assistance!
