Mouse undefined

  Hi @zach_researcher ,

  
  

  Indeed, you can't use the Mouse object in an inline_javascript item like you can in a Python inline_script. But you can use a mouse_response item and then use the resulting cursor_x and cursor_y variables in a subsequent inline_javascript item. Two things come to mind:

  
  

  • Are you sure you are in the Run tab of your inline_javascript item? Otherwise the variables won't exist yet...
  • Are you using the vars. notation (instead of the usual var.), like so?

  
  

  console.log(vars.cursor_x)
  

  
  

  If you upload your experiment here, we can have a closer look, if needed.

  
  

  Good luck!

  Hi @lvanderlinden ,

  I actually sorted it out! I'm not sure if there's a way around this but each time I mentioned the variables I wrote it as vars.cursor_x and vars.cursor_y. I also defined both variables as 0 at the beginning of the experiment

  Thanks,

  Zach
