EventIDE Q&A

Hello,

I am building an experiment using two screens: one for the participant and one for the experimenter. I want the screen caster to record the participant's screen.

When I run the experiment in Full-Screen mode, the screen caster records the experimenter's screen instead. However, in Preview mode, the participant's screen is recorded correctly. Running in Preview mode would not be a viable option, since random parts of the screen appear black during to stimuli presentation.

Does anyone have any insights on this?

Thank you,

Sofia

Hi!

I am building my first experiment in EventIDE.

Quick Experiment Overview: "The core of my experiment involves 2 renderer elements. My experiment works as follows: after some time the target element will become visible set by the proxy variable. After that the second object is supposed to recognize the target and calculate the difference of the distance between the two objects and will start moving towards the target. When it reaches the target it stops, and the color of the target is supposed to change."

This worked perfectly and smoothly until yesterday night. I tried to add some additional features like a button press to make the target appear manually, and use a text element to display information if the time has run out. After implementing this, the experiment didn't work anymore --> black screen. I removed all the new parts I had implemented, but the black screen remains…

Hello,

I am building a model where I want to visualize multiple custom variables in the same chart. For example, I want to plot one custom variable against another to visualize their relationship.

My variables are manually coded proxies via snippets, not linked to built-in element signals.

I haven’t tried the Multiple Channel Analyzer for multiple datasets yet, because for single datasets I already had difficulties plotting manually coded proxies in the screen editor, although the single-channel analyzer did allow selecting these proxies.

Instead, I pinned two charts, which gave me access to the configuration of multiple datasets in a chart’s properties, but that’s when the bug occurs.

Whenever I click on the dropdown menu to select a dataset in the pinned chart, EventIDE immediately crashes and closes. This happens consistently when trying to access multiple datasets.

Dear Community,

I’m building my first closed-loop go/no-go experiment in EventIDE using a cybernetic layout (Sensor → Comparator → Controller → Actuator) on the root layer, and I’m encountering a few blocking compile/runtime issues that I can’t quite explain.

Bug 1 — “inaccessible due to its protection level”

After a clean save, (without any compilation error indicated within any snippets) the global banner reports snippet compilation errors, and I get:

“DynamicSnippetAssembly.clHeaderOnlySnippetHub.W is inaccessible due to its protection level.”

However, W (a constant representing the size of a sliding window used in my model) and the sliding-window state (Queue win, winSum, mean_win_ms, err_ms) are all defined once in the header and used across events.
