Hi there.

I'm back using Inquisit - version 5 is quite different from previous versions (although it has been a while)....

I'm keen to assign some parameters based on Group number. According to this post:https://www.millisecond.com/forums/Topic23124.aspx I can use the <variable> function - but there is nothing in the help about this function? I'm not sure whether the function should still be used or not?

I want to set up different numbers of trials etc, depending on the group number. So I was thinking:

<variables>
/group = (1 of 2) (blocktrials=blocktrialsGroup1)
/group = (2 of 2) (blocktrials=blocktrialsGroup1)
</variables>

<parameters>
/blocktrialsGroup1 = 24
/blocktrialsGroup2 = 44
</parameters>

Then when I call the parameter
<block runExp>
/stop = [
values.count_sequence == parameters.blocktrials]
</block>

It of course doesn't work (in the above example I don't actually have a parameters.blocktrials so not that surprising). But I've tried to have an empty parameter and then make /blocktrialsGroup1 a value, I've tried to have them all as values, but I'm not getting anywhere. But I'm also not sure whether the variable function should be used or not?
Advice appreciated
Thanks
