Hello,
I am trying to customize an existing experiment (4 person cyberball) such that the user is shown each non-human player's cumulative total number of tosses (as a score) each time the ball is passed around. I've added code to show a "score" and have created values for the score that are set to increase by 1 each time the player receives the ball (values.count_player2throws += 1, etc;). However, I can't quite figure out how to get inquisit to update the stimulus screen such that the new score is shown to them. I'm fairly new to the program and am assuming that the problem has something to do with the ontrialstart/ontrialend commands(?) I think that the value of the counter is updating correctly, but just can't figure out how to then show that updated counter after each pass of the ball on the stimulus screen.
I've looked around at other posts asking how to add a counter, how to show a clock, etc (which is how I've gotten to where I'm at now) but am otherwise stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

*Purpose*
This script implements the Cyberball paradigm based on:

the Internet. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 79, 748-762.

acceptance. Behavior Research Methods, Instruments, and Computers, 38, 174-180.

http://www1.psych.purdue.edu/~willia55/Announce/cyberball.htm *Task*
Participant plays ball with 3 other participants (= the computer). It can be predefined with what
probability the computer includes/excludes the participant into the ball game.
DATA FILE INFORMATION:
The default data stored in the data files are:
(1) Raw data file: '4PlayerCyberball_raw*.iqdat' (a separate file for each participant)
build: Inquisit build
computer.platform: the platform the script was run on
date, time, subject, group: date and time script was run with the current subject/groupnumber
blockcode, blocknum: the name and number of the current block
trialcode, trialnum: the name and number of the currently recorded trial
(Note: not all trials that are run might record data)
Trialcode Explanation:
Examples:
"1to2" => in this trial player 2 (participant) throws the ball AFTER getting it from player 1
"1to3" => in this trial player 3 throws the ball AFTER getting it from player 1 (random selection decides whether player 3 throws to player 1)
/player: stores the current player
/recipient: stores the recipient of the current ball toss (1, 2, 3, 4)
response: the (participant's) response
latency: the response latency in ms (for trials in which player 1 and 3 "play", the latency
is the randomly selected trialduration)
/count_ignore2: counts how often player 2 (participant) was "ignored" before a throw (resets every time
player 2 gets to throw the ball)
(2) Summary data file: '4PlayerCyberball_summary*.iqdat' (a separate file for each participant)
script.startdate: date script was run
script.starttime: time script was started
script.subjectid: subject id number
script.groupid: group id number
script.elapsedtime: time it took to run script (in ms)
computer.platform: the platform the script was run on
/completed: 0 = script was not completed (prematurely aborted); 1 = script was completed (all conditions run)
/showpictures: true = pictures of players are onscreen (default)
false = no pictures are presented
/showlabels: true = labels of players are onscreen (default)
false = no labels are presented
item.player1.1-
item.player4label.1: images and labels used for the various players
/max_trialcount: maximum number of trials (= passes between all players) played
/ignore2_streak1: the number of times player 2 (participant) was ignored before player2 (participant) gets to respond for the first time
/max_ignore2: the longest streak of ignoring player 2 (participant) in the game that participant experienced
before being able to respond
/count_player2throws: counts the number of times that player 1 gets to throw the ball
/count_player2throws: counts the number of times that player 3 gets to throw the ball
/count_player2throws: counts the number of times that player 2 (participant) gets to throw the ball
/meanRT_player2: mean latency (in ms) of player 2 (participant)
/count_12: counts the number of times that player 1 throws to player 2 (participant)
/perc_12: percentage of player 1 throws that play to player 2 (participant)
/count_21: counts the number of times that player 2 (participant) throws to player 1
/perc_21: percentage of player 2 throws (participant) that play to player 1
/meanRT_21: mean latency (in ms) of player 2 (participant) decisions to throw to player 1
(same for player 3 and 4)
/perc_sameplayer: percentage of player 2 (participant) throws when player 2 throws the ball back to the player who threw the ball to participant
Note: random selection -> 1/3 times of all player 2 throws
/perc_otherplayer: percentage of player 2 (participant) throws when player 2 throws ball to the player who didn't threw the ball to participant
Note: random selection -> 2/3 times of all player 2 throws
/meanRT_sameplayer: mean latency (in ms) of trials in which player2 (participant) throws ball back to the player who threw the ball to participant
/meanRT_otherplayer: mean latency (in ms) of trials in which player2 (participant) throws ball to a player who didn't threw the ball to participant
EXPERIMENTAL SET-UP
* Participant plays ball with 3 other players for 50 trials.
The number of trials can be edited under section EDITABLE PARAMETERS.
* By default, all players are represented by names and pictures.
Names and pictures can be edited under section EDITABLE STIMULI.
To remove names or pictures go to EDITABLE PARAMETERS.
* By default, player 1 throws the ball to participant (=player2) with a pre-determined probability (default: 14% of the times)
as does Player 3 and 4 (default: 14% of the times). The probabilities can be edited under EDITABLE LISTS.
The player schedules can further be customized to dictate specific/fixed throw sequences for each of the
"computer player".Go to section EDITABLE LISTS for further instructions.
* Decision Times for Player 1,3 and 4 are controlled by expressions.cyberdecisiontime under
EDITABLE PARAMETERS.
STIMULI
picture examples are provided by Millisecond Software. They can easily be edited under section
Editable Stimuli
INSTRUCTIONS
can be edited under section Editable Instructions
EDITABLE CODE:
check below for (relatively) easily editable parameters, stimuli, instructions etc.
Keep in mind that you can use this script as a template and therefore always "mess" with the entire code to further customize your experiment.
The parameters you can change are:
/max_trialcount: maximum number of trials (= passes between the players) played
/showpictures: true = pictures of players are onscreen (default)
false = no pictures are presented
/showlabels: true = labels of players are onscreen (default)
false = no labels are presented
NOTE: parameters.showpictures and parameters.showlabels cannot be set to false at the same time.
/ cyberdecisiontime: selects without replacement (noreplace) one of the 4 decision times for players1,3 and 4

We have found that the best way to do this is to have you play an on-line ball tossing game with other participants who are logged on at the same time.
In a few moments, you will be playing a ball tossing game with other students over our network. The game is very simple. When the ball is tossed to you, simply <%expressions.buttoninstruct2%> the player you want to throw it to.
What is important is not your ball tossing performance, but that you MENTALLY visualize the entire experience. Imagine what the others look like. What sort of people are they? Where are you playing? Is it warm and sunny or cold and rainy? Create in your mind a complete mental picture of what might be going on if you were playing this game in real life.
Okay, ready to begin? Please <%expressions.buttoninstruct1%> 'Start' to begin."

Note: by default players 1, 3 and 4 throw to player 2 roughly 14% of the time (1 out 7 times)
The item lists of these schedules can be further controlled by setting a specific/fixed throw sequence:

/items = (3, 4, 2, 3, 4, 4, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 3, 3, 2, 3, 2, 4, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 3, 3, 4)
/selectionmode = sequence
(if selectionmode = sequence => it is suggested to create the list as long as (parameters.max_trialcount/2)
to ensure that the beginning of the list does NOT get repeated)
