Right now wait actions are not interruptible by pressing the “stop” button in the client.
How about adding an ‘interruptible’ property to them that allows this?
This is not a high priority.
Workaround: implement the wait in a new task_system_state – these can be made interruptible.
Thank you,
Mark
Hi Mark,
Yes, the wait action should be interruptible. I’ve opened a ticket for this.

Hi Mark,
Wait actions are now interruptible. If you press the client’s stop button while a wait action is executing, the experiment will stop immediately (unless it’s in an uninterruptible state, in which case the wait and all other actions in the state will run to completion before the experiment stops).
This change will be in tonight’s nightly build.
Cheers,
Chris
Thanks, this is great.
Since you’ve made so much progress on our requests lately - any chance of if/then/else soon?
Also - we’ve talked about keyboard shortcuts before but one which would be VERY useful is to allow arrow keys and “Enter” to select in the Variables window. We’re now simulating arrays with Variable01 Variable02 … VariableNN and changing all of these by clicking takes a long time.
(I’m happy to send those two requests to you separately if that would help keep this issue organized).
Best
Mark
