Break if with Form Base

emilybraley

Hey there,

New to OpenSesame but wanting to end a sequence in a loop if a certain response is given on a form. Currently using a rating scale and cant get the sequence to "break if" '[variable]='0' . Any help would be awesome

Hi @emilybraley,

This can have many different causes.

Is your variable supposed to take an alphanumerical value as opposed to a numerical value? The way you've written your condition means that the task will check your variable against a string containing zero, and not the actual numerical value 0 (because you used '[variable]='0' instead of [variable]=0. Also, when expressing conditions in that field, you should use == instead of =, so it should be [variable] == 0. Incidentally, from Open Sesame 4, it is no longer necessary to use the [ ] symbols in the "break if" field to refer to a variable, you can simply write variable == 0.

Hope this helps,

Fabrice.
