'PsychoPy: make trials happen with keypress until routine ends at time x
I have a routine with multiple possible trials (in a loop), and the participant must press a key to go to the next trial. I want these trials to go on (with keypresses) until a certain time has passed of the routine, say 5 seconds, regardless of how many possible trials are left in my conditionsFile. At the 5-second mark, the routine should end. (If this is relevant: each trial is only displayed once.)
I've tried a few things, all of which only end up making the routine skip to the next trial after 5 seconds, but still going through all the possible trials, i.e. not ending the routine at 5 s. For example, I've tried adding:
# ------Prepare to start Routine "Images"-------
continueRoutine = True
routineTimer.add(5)
and then
# -------Run Routine "Images"-------
while continueRoutine and routineTimer.getTime() > 0:
I've also tried adding this to the while sequence from above:
if image.status == STARTED:
# is it time to stop? (based on global clock, using actual start)
if tThisFlipGlobal > image.tStartRefresh + 5.0-frameTolerance:
# keep track of stop time/frame for later
image.tStop = t # not accounting for scr refresh
image.frameNStop = frameN # exact frame index
win.timeOnFlip(image, 'tStopRefresh') # time at next scr refresh
image.setAutoDraw(False)
Can anyone help?
