Group: Forum Members Posts: 9, Visits: 49	Hello, I would like to have inquisit randomly select the text colour for a text element for a given trial, which will either be red or green. It needs to be random selection but for each trial type I should be able to have half of the trials in red letters and half in green letters. Is there something I can do with the /txcolor attribute or do I need to add some kind of dependency for /select? I am not sure how to do this. I was thinking I may need to individually program the red and green trials and then do this using noreplace selection for the blocks, but that becomes very tedious because I have a lot of different trial types. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
