Change global parameter inside a function

[fspinar]

Hi all,

I have a function that determines the stimulus of a trial. That is:

var trial = {
...
stimulus: function(){

}
}

Inside this function I need to be able to update a global parameter and use that parameter in other trials. That is :
var parameter = 0;
var trial = {
...
stimulus: function(){
parameter = parameter + 1;
}
}

var newTrial = {
// access to this parameter
}

Could you help me with this ? Should I add this parameter to the data structure of the experiment ? (data.parameter = ...)
I suppose this is the easiest way ?

Thank you and best regards

Thanks @becky-gilbert , I didn't realize I posted it on Issues, it belongs to the discussions section. Sorry about that.

Any suggestions for solution ?

Thanks a lot.
