Hi

Could you please create a checker, where you have to have found at least one attribute in each category
Permissions
Equipment
Conditions
Hazards
Facilities

Have a look at this link of in doubt

Thanks

Do you want to allow both positive and negative attributes ?

Only Positive :)

Here is your checker:

Please say if it is good for you.

One little detail, it is counting the total caches with a Permission attribute but not the total Permission attributes.
Like wise for the other categories

Yes I see, it is suppose to be easy but not that easy. :D
Could you change it so that a cache can only count once, even though it has multiple attributes in the different categories?

Ok, I have changed it so that when each part is run, it excludes the qualifying cache from future searches. This means that although the counts will not change much, each part will have a unique cache.

Thank you so much :-) That is much better

However, a new question popped into my mind:

If a user have found 2 geocaches
a found 10 jan 2021: has a permission and a equipment attribute
b found a week later 17 jan 2021: only has a permission attribute

will the checker take into account, that it will need to assign cache B to the permission attribute in order for cache A to be assigned to the equipment attribute?

If it uses the permission attribute on cache A, cache B will not be used at all and even though the user has found two caches which could be used, the checker will only register one cache to the user.

Please let me know if i need to clarify

Hmmm... after finally finding a user for which this would be a problem (brianswiggins for my notes), it does not seem to work in the way it should. I’ll look into solutions.

Great, thank you so much

I will use this checker, and you can close this ticket :-)

I think this checker solves the problem:

I'm sorry it turns out to be a difficult one to create.

I just tried it and the checker looks great when the use is qualified.
I don't know how to interpret the "not qualified" output - for me it looks like, it uses the same cache for several of the attribute categories:

Permissions: GC8P400: Vy över Stenören, 2020-06-05,
Equipment:
Conditions: GC8P400: Vy över Stenören, 2020-06-05,
Hazards:
Facilities: GC8P400: Vy över Stenören, 2020-06-05,
sorry, you have not fulfilled the challenge yet

I think its just the way the checker works - it initially finds just qualifying caches, then checks if they are unique. the output doesnt make as much sense unless the cacher qualifies - although they still won’t unless all the caches are unique, so don’t worry about that
