> The problem is that Desmos throws an error if I try to have more than _one_ action affecting t\_trial, because it views it as thereby getting defined in two different places.

You can get around this restriction by making sure the two actions have mutually-exclusive conditions, I believe - for example `t->t+1 {t<10}, t->0 {t=10}` or similar.

The solution is broadly the same as the problem we helped you with back in November. [Trouble getting correct count to show up at the right time - #6 by RajRaizada](https://cl.desmos.com/t/trouble-getting-correct-count-to-show-up-at-the-right-time/3854/6)
