Display instructions at the start of each block?

Display instructions at the start of each block?

Peter Holland asked 6 years ago

Is there a simple way to display specific instructions on screen at the start of each block? I could kludge it by making a specific trial type with only a text label target and the instructions in there, but that would need to be in a separate block to avoid it being randomised into the other ‘real’ trials of that block. 
Thanks for the help

Hi Peter,
I think what you have suggested – a separate block with a single trial – is a good way to go. Any other ideas I’m coming up with are far more hacky and difficult to manage. Using a separate block means you can have an easy to manage split in the logic of your stateflow code based on a TP table parameter – instruction trial vs work trial.
Is there a different way you’d like to see something like this work? We are always open to suggestions for new features. 
Cheers!

Thanks for the very rapid response Duncan,No I’m happy with that solution, it’s just I’m fairly new to the Dexterit-e software and wanted to check I wasn’t missing anything purpose built. Cheers!

As a slight extension of this, is there anyway of doing multi-line text labels? Either through ascii characters in the VCODE (I’ve been trying to use the dynamic text example and modify it) or the Dexterit-E target table? I could strategically place a few separate boxes if not.

Hi Peter,<br><br>There's nothing built in to do multi line text unfortunately. Strategically placing multiple targets is the only way to go. <br><br>Cheers!
