Hi!

Is there a way to build the timeout depending on the round number? I want the timeout to be 180 seconds for round 1, and 90 seconds for the rest of the rounds.

Thank you for any help in advance!

Hi Chris,

Thank you for your reply! Could you specify how you would use this function under the page class? I read the tutorial but still cannot solve the problem.

This is what I did:

class communication(Page):
@staticmethod
def get_timeout_seconds(player):
if player.round_number == 1:
timeout_seconds = 180
else:
timeout_seconds = 90

And this is the error message I received:

get_timeout_seconds() missing 1 required positional argument: 'player'

Thank you!

Are you using oTree 5 and the new no-self format? (That code you wrote is for the new format.) See the note at the top of each documentation page.

I guess that mine is an old version otree. I am not sure where to see the oTree version, but I installed this version maybe 2 years ago.

Hi Chris,

Problem solved! The following code works:

def get_timeout_seconds(self):

if self.round_number == 1:

return 180

else:

return 90

Thank you!
