more than 4 response buttons

fran

Hi,

I would like to specify more than 4 response buttons using the mousetrap_response item? Is that possible?

I wrote the following code, but it only seem to work if I limit it to the first 4 buttons.

__warning_message__

draw textline text="Please start moving" x=0 y=0

__end__

set update_feedback yes

set timeout infinite

set start_coordinates "0;0"

set skip_item no

set sketchpad ""

set save_trajectories yes

set reset_mouse yes

set number_of_buttons 8

set mouse_buttons_allowed "left_button;right_button"

set max_initiation_time 1000

set logging_resolution 10

set description "Tracks mouse movements"

set correct_button "[stimulus]"

set click_required yes

set check_initiation_time no

set button8 "x=-352 y=-352 w=64 h=64 name=cs8"

set button7 "x=-480 y=-32 w=64 h=64 name=cs7"

set button6 "x=-352 y=288 w=64 h=64 name=cs6"

set button5 "x=-32 y=416 w=64 h=64 name=cs5"

set button4 "x=288 y=288 w=64 h=64 name=cs4"

set button3 "x=416 y=-32 w=64 h=64 name=cs3"

set button2 "x=288 y=-352 w=64 h=64 name=cs2"

set button1 "x=-32 y=-480 w=64 h=64 name=cs1"

set boundaries "upper=no lower=no left=no right=no"

Also (not essential) is there a way to specify the buttons as circles rather than rectangles, I tried to replace "w" and "h" with "r" but it did not seem to work.

Thanks!

Hi,

unfortunately, you can only specify up to 4 buttons when using the mousetrap_response item.

However, if you use the underlying Python class called MT_response in an inline script, you can also specify more than 4 buttons.

More information about the Python class can be found here: https://github.com/PascalKieslich/mousetrap-os/blob/master/plugins/mousetrap_response/mousetrap_response.md#importing-the-mt_response-class-for-python-inline_scripts

And a corresponding example experiment called mousetrap_response_python.osexp can be found here: https://github.com/pascalkieslich/mousetrap-os/tree/master/examples

Best,

Pascal
