Hi there, I'm new at Inquisit and this is my first time on the forums, so I have no idea if I'm raising the topic correctly.
I have been trying to create a typing task on Inquisit 4 that will allow me to know when someone first starts typing an answer and when someone stops typing. This part is currently working now, thanks to a lot of help from others, but it is the ending where I'm stuck. I want to add in a button that can be clicked on with the mouse, so that people can move on when they are finished. However, I can't seem to get that to work in Inquisit.
This is the current script:
<trial exppos> / stimulustimes = [1=blank,black,answer] / inputdevice = keyboard / validresponse = (16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,28,14,51,52,57,79,2) / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response == 16) values.letter = "q"] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response == 17) values.letter = "w"] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response == 18) values.letter = "e"] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response == 19) values.letter = "r"] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response == 20) values.letter = "t"] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response == 21) values.letter = "y"] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response == 22) values.letter = "u"] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response == 23) values.letter = "i"] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response == 24) values.letter = "o"] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response == 25) values.letter = "p"] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response == 30) values.letter = "a"] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response == 31) values.letter = "s"] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response == 32) values.letter = "d"] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response == 33) values.letter = "f"] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response == 34) values.letter = "g"] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response == 35) values.letter = "h"] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response == 36) values.letter = "j"] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response == 37) values.letter = "k"] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response == 38) values.letter = "l"] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response == 44) values.letter = "z"] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response == 45) values.letter = "x"] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response == 46) values.letter = "c"] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response == 47) values.letter = "v"] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response == 48) values.letter = "b"] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response == 49) values.letter = "n"] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response == 50) values.letter = "m"] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response == 28) values.letter = "~n"] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response == 57) values.letter = " "] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response == 51) values.letter = ","] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response == 52) values.letter = "."] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response != 14) {setitem(item.letter,values.letter,1); setitem(item.answer,values.answer,1)}] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response != 14) values.answer = concat(getitem(item.answer,1),getitem(item.letter,1))] / ontrialend = [setitem(item.answer,values.answer,1)] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response == 14) values.answer = substring(getitem(item.answer,1),0,length(values.answer)-1)] / ontrialend = [if (trial.exppos.response == 14) setitem(item.answer,values.answer,1)] / ontrialend = [values.currenttime = values.currenttime + trial.exppos.latency] / branch = [if (trial.exppos.response == 2) trial.end] / branch = [trial.exppos] </trial>
<trial end> / ontrialbegin = [values.amount = 0; values.cumulative_time = 0; values.answer = ""; values.letter = "";values.currenttime = 0;values.select = values.select+1] / stimulusframes = [1 = blank] / recorddata = true / timeout = 1 </trial>
<item letter> /1 = "" </item>
<item answer> /1 = "" </item>
<values> /amount = 0 /cumulative_time = 0 /answer = "" /letter = "" /currenttime = 0 /select = 1 </values>
<text answer> / items = ("<%values.answer%>") / position = (50%,75.5%) / erase = false /txbgcolor = (255,255,255) / txcolor = (0, 0, 0) / size = (39.5%,19%) / valign = top </text>
<shape blank> / shape = rectangle / size = (100%,100%) / color = (255,255,255) / erase = false </shape>
<shape black> / shape = rectangle / size = (40%,20%) / color = (0,0,0) / erase = false / position = (50%,75%) / valign = top </shape>
Is there any way to add in a button so that people can move on from this task with a simple mouseclick?
A second question is: does it matter what kind of keyboard someone has? The current code makes use of the scancodes as a valid response, however, would it matter if some uses an azerty keyboard instead of a qwerty keyboard?
I hope my questions are clear.
Many thanks in advance,
Wenkuo

It would have been easier for you to use a simple <openended> element and log its firstcharlatency and lastcharlatency properties.

Set <trial end>'s /inputdevice to mouse, have it display a <text> or <picture> element to serve as your "button", define that object as the trial's /validresponse. It is not possible to have multiple /inputdevices in a given <trial> element, i.e., you cannot have <trial exppos> accept input from both mouse and keyboard -- it's either one or the other. > A second question is: does it matter what kind of keyboard someone has?

Yes, this matters. On a standard QWERTY keyboard, scancode 16 maps to "Q". On an AZERTY keyboard, scancode 16 maps to "A" (and so forth). The code you have in <trial exppos> will treat every keyboard as having a QWERTY layout.

Hi Dave,
Thank you for the fast reply!
I'm still unfamiliar with Inquisit and programming in general unfortunately, so this might sound a bit stupid, but how do I go about combining the openended element and first/lastcharlatency? I've looked at the openended element before, but I had no idea that something like that was possible.
Many thanks in advance,
Wenkuo

E.g.
<block myblock> / trials = [1=myopenended] </block>
<openended myopenended> ... </openended>
<data> / columns = [date, time, subject, ..., openended.myopenended.firstcharlatency, openended.myopenended.lastcharlatency, ...] ... </data>

Thank you! It's working perfectly now.
