Couldn't quite follow all of this. But whenever someone has a problem with their program retaining previous values, I suspect that they failed to properly use a global variable to hold the value. See the "Using E-Basic" chapter in the User's Guide that came with E-Prime.<br>
<br>
BTW, shouldn't the line<br>
Total = 2000+Total+Youwon- Youlost<br>
instead read<br>
Total = Total+Youwon- Youlost<br>
? And shouldn't Total be initialized somewhere once to 2000?<br>

I am using the e-prime to modify the IGT. Everything is working fine except that the previous total payoff cannot be remembered. This leads to a problem that every time a new card is selected, the total payoff is not added from the previous total payoff in the last trial but is added from $2000 in each trial. For example:<br>
<br>
Subjects start with $2000,<br>
<br>
Trial no.1: Won $ 100; Lost $0; so the Total is $2000+$100-$0= $2100<br>
Trial no.2: Won $100; Lost$300; so the Total should be $2100+$100-$300=$1900<br>
<br>
BUT, in my design, the Total is $2000+$100-$300=$1800<br>
<br>
The script I wrote in InLine object of the Total payoff calculation is:<br>
<br>
<br>
If strHit="Image1" then<br>
List 1.run c<br>
<br>
Youwon=List1.GetCurrentAttrib ("Gaintrial")<br>
Youlost=List1.GetCurrentAttrib ("Losstrial")<br>
Total = 2000+Total+Youwon- Youlost<br>
<br>
("Image1" is Deck A.<br>
"If strHit...means if the mouse click on Deck A, then run List1"<br>
"List 1" is the payment schedule of Deck A.<br>
"Youwon" is the amount of money won in each trial.<br>
"Youlost" is the amount fo money lost in each trial.<br>
"Gaintrial" is the attribute of List1 and is the winning schedule of Deck A.<br>
"Losstrial" is the attribute of List1 too and is the losing schedule of Deck A.)<br>
<br>
The amount of "Youwon" "Youlost" and "Total" are displayed on the feedback slide.<br>
<br>
<br>
I am not sure where I am wrong, so I hope people who know how to solve this problem may help me out!<br>
<br>
Thank you very much!<br>
<br>
Fan<br>
