Text depending on radiobutton response

There is a text element where the participant can see everybody's points, like: Me: 10 points Jennifer: 15 points John: 5 points Matthew: 6 points Then, there is a radiobutton asking if the participant wants to substract 10 points from one of his partners' accounts. I dont know how I can make the tex change according to the radiobutton response... I would be very grateful for any help! (And sorry for my bad English, I hope you understood what I meant...) Best, Elina

It's preferable to use variables to keep track of the players' points and use simple math to adjust the amounts based on response: <values> / me_points = 10 / jennifer_points = 15 / john_points = 5 / matthew_points = 6 / deduceamount = 10 </values> <block myblock> / trials = [1-3=deducepointspage; 4=endpage] </block> <caption playerpoints> / caption = "Me: <%values.me_points%> points Jennifer: <%values.jennifer_points%> points John: <%values.john_points%> points Matthew: <%values.matthew_points%> points" </caption> <radiobuttons deducepoints> / caption = "Deduce <%values.deduceamount%> points from" / options = ("Jennifer", "John", "Matthew") </radiobuttons> <surveypage deducepointspage> / ontrialend = [if (radiobuttons.deducepoints.response=="Jennifer") values.jennifer_points-=values.deduceamount; ] / ontrialend = [if (radiobuttons.deducepoints.response=="John") values.john_points-=values.deduceamount; ] / ontrialend = [if (radiobuttons.deducepoints.response=="Matthew") values.matthew_points-=values.deduceamount; ] / questions = [1=playerpoints; 2=deducepoints] </surveypage> <surveypage endpage> / questions = [1=playerpoints] </surveypage>
