[opensesame] Different behaviour running experiment on OSWeb and Opensesame
Dear all,
I am an OpenSesame newbie, I love how intuitive it is and how well written the documentation is! Still, I have a problem with the implementation of my experiment in OSWeb. Here it is:
I want a cue to be rotated when presented at the bottom of the screen. My solutions work on OpenSesame, but they don't work on OSWeb.
The cue and the proper rotation follow:
A. I insert in the sketchpad two cues (one with 0° rotation and the other with 180° rotation) and use the "show if" parameter:

Quickrunning on Opensesame it rotates the cue, it doesn't rotate it when testing on browser (No compatibility problems detected).
B. I define a "rotation_cue" variable and use inline javascripting to set the rotation variable at every trial.
Inline Javascript (tried both in "prepare" and in "run"):
Again, quickrunning on Opensesame it rotates the cue, it doesn't rotate it when testing on browser (No compatibility problems detected).
Also, trying to debug the second option, I noticed that the rotation_cue variable is properly assigned (before the cue appearing). So, my guess is that there is no problem with the inline JavaScript:
Thank you for your attention.

HI @DamianoG ,
Rotation of
imageelements is not supported by OSWeb yet (v1.3). (The compatibility check won't catch that, but I will add it to the documentation.)As a workaround, you can create two differently rotated versions of the cue and use the rotation as part of the filename (instead of the
rotationkeyword) in the script, like so:file="cue3_[rotation_cue].png".Does that make sense?

Hi Sebastiaan,
that makes a lot of sense! Thank you very much! It works and it is a beautiful workaround.
