COMMANDS

note: This section will ultimately be much larger and it is currently highly incomplete and actively under Construction -- for now, see the examples and the dictionary.

I think the easiest way to learn all the commands that PsyScript can use is to study the dictionary. Just drop a copy of PsyScript onto your script editor, and it will show the dictionary.

In the dictionary, clicking on each command will showthe syntax and a brief description. Also pay good attention to the classes and their properties, especially the application class properties.

A couple of quick examples here will get you started.

Setting Variables

To set an PsyScript property, just say set propertyName to value

Examples:

set background color to red

set word color to {0,0,64000} -- blue

set response type to sound response --built in voice key

Advanced: you can set many properties within a trial string

Display Instructions

display instructions [{string or list of strings to display}] [from alias] [for milliseconds]

Examples

display instructions "hi there

this is another line"

display instructions {"each item", "starts a new", "line"}

display instructions from "diskname:folder:filename"

   --this will display the contents of the file

display instructions "read me quick" for 2000

   --this will display the text, and will go away on its own after 2 seconds

Note: The subject must press the space bar to dismiss the instructions unless you use the for parameter
