Re: Need a checker for GCAGDZQ The Great Swamp Challenge

Hi,

I need a checker that requires a cacher to have found 20 caches in Florida, 17 caches in Louisiana, 11 caches in Minnesota, 8 caches in New Jersey, 8 caches in South Carolina, 7 caches in Michigan, 7 caches in Delaware, 6 caches in Wisconsin, 5 caches in Georgia, and 5 caches in North Carolina. That's a minimum of 94 caches required to qualifiy for this challenge. Any cache type counts except Locationless and Adventure Labs.

In addition, 1 find in Alaska can be used in place of any State that they don't have enough cache finds for in the requirements above.

As an example, the cacher could have all the required numbers above in 9 of the 10 states, but in Florida they only had 15 finds, which wouldn't qualify. But if they have 1 find in Alaska, they would still qualify. The 1 find in Alaska can only satisfy the requirements of 1 of the 10 States needed for the challenge.

Thanks,

Please test and reply

I noticed that on the output of the checker, where it says how many the user has, the number they still need always shows as 0, whether they qualify on that state or not:

8 caches in South Carolina
4 User has 4 finds (0 needed) Filters:( excludeTypes (Locationless (Reverse) Cache) , region:South Carolina , country:United States)

I know Alaska is a Wild Card, and maybe that's what is throwing it off, but this person didn't have a find in Alaska either.

The checker is working on points with 1 point each cache find with a maximum points per State

The checker shows green when 94 points are reached
In your case its 95 points because you have all the States max points plus the wildcard Alaska

If a cacher missing a maximum with 1 point but has found the wildcard he still has green with 94 points

If a cacher missing a maximum with 2 points but has found the wildcard the checker remains red because he only has 93 points.

The (0 needed) is only there for calculation purpose

Thanks for the explanation.

The reviewer just sent me another message saying the output of the checker isn't excluding Adventure Labs. Is the "excludes locationless (reverse) caches" including Adventure Labs as a locationless type cache?

Adv Labs are not included by default

Perfect! All is well and everything works as intended!

Thanks so much for all your hard work!
