Hello,

I've created the following script on inquisit, but it does seem to be working. It does not show any errors either tho. Every time I try to run the experiment, the subject window pop up and then automatically goes back to the script (experiment does not begin). And if I try to open the experiment by clicking its icon, inquisit does not open, so I have to first open inquisit, then open the study otherwise it would never open!!!

Do you guys know what I could do?
Thanks in advance.
CCG

Remember how I told you all people are either Green or Orange?
^^Well, this machine is going to pick for you and tell us whether you are going to be a Green or and Orange.
^^It can do this because it works kind of like flipping a coin. That’s right, it’s a really special machine and it will decide whether you’re a Green or an Orange.
^^All you have to do is to put your hand on it, like this… If we wait a few seconds the machine will tell us whether you are a Green or an Orange.
^^Are you ready to find out what you are?

Okay, now we're going to do something a little bit different, now I'm going to read you some stories and then ask you some questions. There are no right or wrong answer; I just want to know what you think.

-Press G for Green and O for Orange-

You know when you play at school or with friends?
^^Okay, I'm going to show you some pictures of people and I just want you to let me know which person you would rather play with"

We're almost done! I just have few more questions. You ready?

-Type Orange or Green, depending on the answer that has been given by the kid
