response timeout

[marijesoto]

Dear Jeremy,

I am aware that there are several posts on the forum about this topic, but nonetheless I was not able to fix my problem.

In this specific section of the experiment, I want participants to use the mouseclick to select one of three presented words, and if they don´t respond within, let´s say, 5 seconds, then automatically the options (3 words) whould dissapear, and the button (“passar”) should appear for them to click to go to the next trial.
When I tried the callback funtion with a timer function on the selector, it almost worked, but then he did not show the little purple frame around the selected word anymore 🙁
Could you help me out?
Thanks so much.

Stretch of script:

Template("Bloco1B.csv", variable =>
    newTrial("Bloco1",
    newText("pal1",variable.pal1),
    newText("pal2",variable.pal2),
    newText("pal3",variable.pal3)
    ,
   newCanvas("canvas12",1000,130)
        .add(325,50,getText("pal1"))
        .add(450,50,getText("pal2"))
        .add(575,50,getText("pal3"))
        .css("font-size","1.3em")
        .print(),
        
        newSelector("pal_sel")
        .add(getText("pal1"), getText("pal2"), getText("pal3"))
        .frame("dashed 3px violet").log().wait()
        ,
    newTimer(200).start().wait(),
    getCanvas("canvas12").remove(),
    
    newButton("passar","Clique PARA VER a próxima tela.")
    .center()
    .css("font-size","0.8em")
    .print("center at 51vw","middle at 20vh")
    .wait(),////////////

    //getText("perg").remove(),
    //getText("perg2").remove(),
    getButton("passar").remove()


)
    .log("Group", variable.Group)
    .log("item", variable.item)
    .log("pal1", variable.pal1)
    .log("pal2", variable.pal2)
    .log("pal3", variable.pal3)
    .log("letras",variable.letra)
    .log("tiporel", variable.tiporel) 
    .log("pos_alvo", variable.pos_alvo) 
)

Hi,

As long as you keep the 200ms timer before removing the Canvas, you should see the frame for 0.2s:

newTimer("timeout", 5000)
,
newSelector("pal_sel")
    .add(getText("pal1"), getText("pal2"), getText("pal3"))
    .frame("dashed 3px violet")
    .log()
    .callback( getTimer("timeout").stop() )
,
getTimer("timeout").start().wait()
,
newTimer(200).start().wait()
,
getCanvas("canvas12").remove(),

Jeremy
