In line problems

[mich]

Hi Jim,

1. When you declare a variable (dim...), visual basic always sets it to 0.
Therefore, add the dim part to the user script (in the menu, view, i think)
and the counting in the inline.
2. I would suggest using goto statements and adding labels to where you want
to go (if it's on the same timeline). For example, I usually have a trial
counter (as above) and a statement "if trialcounter <> 98 then goto
AfterTheBreak". Thus, you always skip the break unless it's trial 98.
But beware of goto-spiderwebs! 

Cheers,

Dear E-Prime Experts,

I have designed an experiment that has 196 trials, and I wanted to introduce
a
text page after trial 98 offering a rest period to the participant. My
problem
is twofold:

1)First of all I tried to get e-prime to keep track of what trial we are on
by
referncing the “Block” attribute. I did this as follows:

Dim Trial
Trial=c.GetAttrib (“Block”)

However, when running it, e-prime did not recognise block as an attribute.
So I
tried to create my own:

Dim Trial as integer
Trial = Trial + 1

This also did not work.

2)Secondly, I placed the “rest” page in my trialproc timeline, and tried to
get
e-prime to access it via an 'inline' at the end of the timeline:

If Trial = 98 then
Rest.run
        'referncing my textpage for the rest period
Else fixation.run
	'this last line is trying to get e-prime to revert to the beginning 
        'of the trialproc timeline if the trial is not 98. This doesn't work
End if

How do I get e-prime to keep track of the trial number, and how do I
introduce a
rest page if a certain trial number is satisfied?

Yours in confusion!
