Hi,

I'm new to coding and Inquisit and I'm trying to randomize what options are available for subjects to select using radiobuttons. I have 8 total options, but only want 2 options presented at a time, and for these 2 to always be presented together for that particular subject. I would like to have these pairs randomized so each subject gets a different set of pairs. 

Also, is there a way to block out a radiobutton option after it has been selected once? For example, if subjects are always directed back to the options screen where they can select from the 8 (or 2) different options, could I make it so people aren't able to select their past choices?

Here is what I have so far for anPost New Topicother condition (where subjects can select from all 8 topics at once).

Thank you!

As for generating random pairs, you'll need to do something like this.

<list options>
/ items = ("option a", "option b", "option c", "option d", "option e","option f", "option g", "option h")
/ selectionrate = always
</list>

<values>
/ pair1a = ""
/ pair1b = ""
/ pair2a = ""
/ pair2b = ""
/ pair3a = ""
/ pair3b = ""
/ pair4a = ""
/ pair4b = ""
</values>

<expt>
/ onexptbegin = [
  values.pair1a = list.options.nextvalue;
  values.pair1b = list.options.nextvalue;
  values.pair2a = list.options.nextvalue;
  values.pair2b = list.options.nextvalue;
  values.pair3a = list.options.nextvalue;
  values.pair3b = list.options.nextvalue;
  values.pair4a = list.options.nextvalue;
  values.pair4b = list.options.nextvalue;
]
/ blocks = [1=examplesurvey]
</expt>

<survey examplesurvey>
/ showquestionnumbers = false
/ showpagenumbers = false
/ pages = [1=pair1page; 2=pair2page; 3= pair3page; 4=pair4page]
</survey>

<surveypage pair1page>
/ questions = [1=pair1]
</surveypage>

<radiobuttons pair1>
/ caption = "Pair 1"
/ options = ("<%values.pair1a%>", "<%values.pair1b%>")
</radiobuttons>

<surveypage pair2page>
/ questions = [1=pair2]
</surveypage>

<radiobuttons pair2>
/ caption = "Pair 2"
/ options = ("<%values.pair2a%>", "<%values.pair2b%>")
</radiobuttons>

<surveypage pair3page>
/ questions = [1=pair3]
</surveypage>

<radiobuttons pair3>
/ caption = "Pair 3"
/ options = ("<%values.pair3a%>", "<%values.pair3b%>")
</radiobuttons>

<surveypage pair4page>
/ questions = [1=pair4]
</surveypage>

<radiobuttons pair4>
/ caption = "Pair 4"
/ options = ("<%values.pair4a%>", "<%values.pair4b%>")
</radiobuttons>

I'm not clear on what exactly you want to do regarding "is there a way to block out a radiobutton option after it has been selected once."
