Re: Need a checker for GCACK8Y

Hi,

I need a checker that requires a cacher to have a combined total of 7,500 or more Favorite Points on ONLY the Highest Favorited cache of each cache type they have found. So in other words, this will not total all of their cache finds; only the highest favorited find of each of these cache types: Traditional, Multi-cache, Mystery, Locationless, Letterbox, Wherigo, Webcam, Virtual, EarthCache, and Project APE. If they've found Geocaching HQ, it counts as a Mystery type cache. They do not have to have found any of a particular cache type to qualify.

So, if their highest favorited Traditional is 3,000 FP, and their highest favorited Locationless is 5,000 FP, they qualify with 8,000 FP.

Thanks,

Here's a start: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/80060 - unfortunately it does not handle the "Geocaching HQ" => "Mystery Cache" rule, so I'm holding off on linking it to your GC code while I search for a script that can handle that.

Okay, and can you also make the output show the highest favorited cache of each type that the user has found?

I think that might require a new script, but I am not certain. I will leave this request for a couple days so that other taggers may look at it, and if no one can find anything better I will write a script.

Great, thank you so much!

Hm; it's been a couple days and it doesn't look like the others have any ideas. I'll give it until Sunday (ie. the weekend) and if no taggers have commented I'll begin a new script.

Thank you so much! It's been a long time since I got my very own script :-)

-Erich

Seeing as no one else responded, I wrote a new script. Try this:

That is absolutely PERFECT! Thank you so much!

Wait, that checker goes to GCA9R03 not to GCACK8Y!

Whoops. That's what happens when you're making a whole bunch of checkers at once. Let me fix that.

Fixed: use https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCACK8Y/80202

Apologies for the screw-up -- and thank you for catching it (before either one got published!)

Perfect, thanks! And I totally understand!
