Hi all,
I am trying to build an experiment that places 9 items on the screen, one of which is a target and 8 of which are
'filler' items. The target can appear randomly at each location; and the filler items are placed around it in a circle, an example image in the attachment.
A complication is that sometimes the setsize will be 9 and at other times 7 or 5; this means that the position of the fillers changes
depending on the set size.
I have currently build a long 'if statement' for each filler item that check the position of the target and places the fillers around it, like so:
/ filler_position1 = if (values.hpos1==27) values.absolute_h_2_set5; if (values.hpos1==24) values.absolute_h_3_set5; etc
/ filler_position2 = if (values.hpos1==27) values.absolute_h_3_set5; if (values.hpos1==24) values.absolute_h_4_set5; etc
/ filler_position3 =
etc, etc
(hpos1 is the horizontal position of the target item which is chosen at random)
My question is if there is a more concise way to achieve the placement of these fillers, any suggestions welcome,
Roelof
