Hello Everyone,
I've downloaded Inquisit lab 5 , the BART, and the BART-Y scripts. Everything runs well, but I would like to add a small counter to the upper right hand corner of the BART task screen .
What I would like is a basic counter that starts as soon as the subject starts the task, and counts down from 10:00 minutes (or 15:00) to 00:00. Once it hits 00:00, I would like the numbers to turn red.
Does anyone have any pointers they could give me on how to do this?

You'll want to add a <clock> element to the script and display it (probably via the <block>'s /bgstim). Configure it to count down from the desired amount of time. https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/v5/html/language/elements/clock.htm

What may be the problem, is it not displaying properly with the BART images ? Also, how do I exit out early from the test monkey and an experiment- I tried the Esc key and it did not work Thank you very much for your help

Pressing ESC is not supposed to end a script.

I did not realize it was a stimulus element as well. Thank you for your help

Hello,
I'm also using Inquisit 5. My problem related to the timer is that it will not run until after all the stimuli are presented. Specifically, I would like participants to work on a word puzzle for 3 minutes while they can see a timer counting down from 3-min. However, if some finish early, they can move on to the next phase by clicking on Continue after 30s. It all works fine in Inquisit 6, but when I set it up in Inquisit 5, the timer will not change after until 30s has passed. Basically, from 3:00 - 2:30, the clock will not change. Any suggestions?
<html wordsearch>
/ items = ("word search.html")
/ position = (35, 50)
/ size = (80%, 80%)
</html>
<clock timer>
/ mode = timer
/ resetrate = block
/ txcolor = black
/ txbgcolor = cadetblue
/ timeout = 180000
/ position = (90%, 90%)
/ format = "mm:ss"
/ size = (5%, 5%)
</clock>
<text Continue>
/ items = ("Continue")
/ size = (10%, 5%)
/ position = (50%, 95%)
/ txbgcolor = grey
/ vjustify = center
</text>
<trial wordsearch>
/ stimulustimes = [1=wordsearch,timer;30000=Continue]
/ timeout = 180000
/ inputdevice = mouse
/ validresponse = (Continue)
</trial>
