Hi all,

Before burdening the group with a question with probably a very simple
answer I have scoured this group, the pst forum and the user manuals
for help with this but to no avail, and alas none of my colleagues use
E-prime so I'm at a loss. So I am once again turning to you for help
with this programme.

In all my previous experiments I have created I have always used the
keyboard as the input device for participants responses. However for
this experiment it is not possible. There are a few conditions but for
the most simple I merely need the participant to click on a picture
when it appears onscreen using the mouse. It is not really so
important where on the screen they click (so the location of the click
won't be recorded).Really, all I need to know is how to set it so the
allowable response for the mouse is to left click. This is what I want
to be the terminating factor in a trial, in the same way that I would
type {SPACE} if I were using the keyboard as the input device.

I am completely at a loss as to why I can't find this information
myself online/ in the beginner's guide/ reference guide.

Can any one help me out? Or have I simply lost my mind?

Yours, in semi sanity,

Aoife McLoughlin

Found it!!!!!!!!! Sometimes I guess you need to just take a break for
a few minutes. 1 = left button, 2= right button (for anyone else who
hadn't understood that instinctively) !

Thanks anyway guys :)
