Hello!
In my experimental study, avatars are moving towards each other to measure social distancing behavior. Participants are asked to indicate within 30 seconds the least appropriate distance between these avatars by pressing the spacebar. If participants do not respond in time, I would like to include a timeout (10 seconds break for the participants with a text - stating that they did not respond in time and the trial will begin again). Afterward, the trial after this message should start again.
I thought about using the responsetrial function and /responsetrial = (noresponse, sametrial*) to restart the trial after the error message. However, it did not work and I do not know how to include it. Do you know how I could adjust my script to include a timeout + restart of the trial?
As the available space is already used, I will upload the ZIP file as a response to this message.
Thank you in advance for helping!
