Place a time limit on a task?

[Libod]

If I want it to jump to the next trial after a certain amount of time for each trial, do I have to type in the number for each trial (for example 4:1000 if I want to switch to trial 4 after 1000ms) or is there a symbol that just means "next trial"?

You mean to skip out of a trial after x millliseconds have passed? If so, you could just apply a min-max value using the ! symbol in your style file. e.g., setting a min-max value of 0-1000! for that trial would do this (see Help on min-max).

Thanks. I didn't want to use the min-max first because it never seemed to work but I found another thread about that (in the Troubleshooting forum) with a replacement file to download and now it all works. Thanks again!
