Reply To: Self Paced Reading Timed Reminder

Hi,

Yes, you can use a Key element and its callback command to (re)start a Timer element whenever the space bar is pressed, and display the message after that timer has elapsed:

newController("DashedSentence", {s: "Hello world, bye Earth"}).print()
,
newText("reminder", "<em>Press Space to see the next word</em>").center().print()
,
newTimer("reminder timer",2000)
,
newKey(" ")
  .callback(
    getTimer("reminder timer").stop(),
    getText("reminder").hidden(),
    getTimer("reminder timer").start().wait(),
    getText("reminder").visible()
  )
,
getController("DashedSentence").wait().remove()
,
getText("reminder").remove()
,
newButton("Continue")
  .print()
  .wait()
