Hello,

I am coding a few experiments that I need to timeout after a certain amount of time has passed. When I add the timeout variable in expt, it skips some of the blocks in the experiment. I need each of those blocks to be self paced so I cannot have the block timeout. 

Has anyone had this problem or have any suggestions of how to fix it?

Thank you so much,
LS

It skips some of the middle blocks in the experiment (the one's that I specifically need to be self paced). 

Of course I want it to stop the experiment as soon as the timeout time passes. 

Thank you for your help!

That would suggest a mistake in the code or some *really* weird bug. Can you provide a condensed example (fewer blocks, shorter timeout) that exhibits that behavior?

Additionally, how would you like the script to behave if the timeout runs out in the middle of a given block? Terminate immediately? Allow participant to finish the current trial? Allow participant to finish the current block?
