Re: New Checker Request - GC8E3ZR

Hello,

could you please create a checker:

In each calendar month (January, February, March etc.)
you must have reached 500 points.

For a Multi or a Wherigo you get 5 points,
for a Mystery 3 points,
for an Event (all event types count) or for a Tradi 1 point.

Many thanks in advance for your work.

Here's a checker for you.

https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC8E3ZR/45290

Let us know if it's suitable.

PS: It seems you do not fulfill this challenge yet? January 483 points and December 497 points. Is it intended that Letterboxes don't award any points?

PPS: @other scriptwriters/taggers: Is there a way to pass down the "points" checker via the opt of the "and" checker and then pass down the month from the conf of the "and" checker to the filter of the (nested) "number" checker? Seems it should be possible but I didn't get it to work. I'm lucky the year only has 12 months, one more month and the copy-pasting would have gone over the character limit for the tag.

@PattuX: I tried doing it via nested opt configs, but failed. It appears the code doesn't allow for it.

Hello PattuX,

yeah, you're right. There should also be a point for the letterbox.

We want to collect some more caches until we have fulfilled the challenge.
I think the score is too low. Could you please increase the score to 800 points per month.

During the evaluation I noticed that November is missing

Increased to 800, included November.

Usually including Letterboxes wouldn't be a problem but the script configuration including the Letterboxes would be so long that PGC doesn't allow it. I don't know whether there is any workaround for the character limit. Maybe someone finds a solution that allows for a shorter configuration doing the same thing. I think I may have some other workaround which I can try later. If everything fails I can still do a new script tailored towards this kind of challenge (which may have been the cleaner solution to start with anyways).

I'm working on a quick adaption for an alternative checker.

Here's an alternative checker:

Please test and let us know if it's suitable. PS: you don't qualify for 800 points, nor 500 points.

Thanks, disabled mine.

Hello,

thanks for the fast processing. What's missing are the Cache-In-Trash-Out-Events.

Modified configuration (type in CITO name), but your score looks roughly the same. You didn't use Virtual Cache, Earthcache and Webcam Cache.

Actually, you're right. Could you add the 3 cache types with one point each?

Done, but you're still short in January with 488/500 points.

One last wish. So that we can fulfill the challenge
we must work on it still some months. That's what we want,
it should also be a challenge for us. Could you please set
the number of points to 600 per month?

Updated to 600.

Thank you very much for the implementation of the Challenge. The ticket can now be closed.
