[What am I doing wrong here? (Urwigo builder)]

A neater way of doing it is:

 

add a value to your function and use that as your object -

 

function test(val)

   return val.Name
end

 

your lua user expression then should be -

 

test (self)

 

That way you do not need to name the object, and the code is then reusable across all objects.

[URWIGO builder]

When using a command on an item, how do I get a reference to the item in Lua User Code.

 

I want to write a script that can be added to  multiple items that then modify the item, but I need to know what item called it.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

Never mind, I found it by trial and (mainly) error, it is “self” for those who are curious.

[Competition to GAGB?]

A quote from the constitution:

 

Furthermore, we will aim to discourage the placement of caches which are detrimental to Geocaching and to the way it is perceived, for example, where a hide could cause damage to the nearby area. Another example is where the hide could be judged by some as litter, a film canister placed in a rubbish strewn lay-by could be one such hide.

 

Now I have no love of some of these type of caches, but how can you fully represent UK cachers when part of your stated aims is to discourage legitimate caches?

 

Seems like you only wish to represent UK cachers that agree with you...

[Puzzle cache giveaway?]

The only thing I would add is that you should copy the original log in your email to them, so they can edit it and resubmit. Saves them having to write a new log.

[When a cache becomes rubbish.]

I thought the main problem was that the cache could be still listed on another site, so you shouldnt remove it without the owners permission.

[BBC dropzone campaign and geocaching]

Sorry Royles. I think I misunderstood what you were getting at there, Yours and the other posts suggesting the setting up a small course is a good idea I hadn't considered, thanks.

 

The geocaching side of it will be only a small part of the event so I don't think it would fullfil the event criteria but I will try to get along to one of the monthly meets to see if any local cachers might be interested.

 

thanks for all the ideas and advice so far

 

No worries, I am not the clearest of writers.

 

If you wanted to list the caching part as an event to attract more help I am sure Deci could give you guidance on how to meet the criteria.

 

Hope it all comes together for you.

[BBC dropzone campaign and geocaching]

Why can they not be caches set up specifically for the event?

 

If I was doing this I would do a workshop at a country park where I had set up 10 - 12 caches trying to cover all the types (micros, offsets, puzzles etc), and print off the details in the Groundspeak format without listing the caches. You can then run the workshop and let people loose to find the caches. After the workshop you can then collect the caches and there is then no danger of listed caches being muggled.

 

Of course you could then ask the country park for permission to hide some REAL caches for your troubles.

 

Perhaps a reviewer could pass an opinion as to wether the workshop could be listed as an event, so that you would have some geocachers on hand to help you run the workshop.

 

Good luck with this, whatever form it takes.

[Themed cache poll]

Deejay,

Glad you're in favour of the bike themed cache.

Of course non-bikers are welcome to do the cache. Cyclists are welcome too.

 

The Royles,

Until I saw the feedback from the Why do cachers suddenly stop thread the whole thing was nothing more than hypothetical banter between friends. Since people have shown interest in them I'm thinking about putting at least one of them in to effect. I don't personally have a preference over them. As a hard of hearing techie mad bike fan, they all involve my interests.

 

In that case:

 

1. Signing The Cache: Good way to promote awareness

 

2. Techie's Paradise: All cachers are techies really

 

3. Bikers Only: not a biker so this comes last for me

[Is Wiltshire the micro capital of the UK?]

You forgot creme eggs and walnut whips!

 

Bring back Marathon bars, Opal fruits and big caches please. The old days were much better

 

Can I get a quick vote in for Spangles since we are OT

[Themed cache poll]

The better idea here is YOU list them in 1, 2, 3 order of ones you would like to do and you have your priority list sorted.

[caches in trees]

Some you have to climb for... depending on how many stars in the terrain rating.

Also depending on how vertically challenged you are

[Anyone for a camping event in Zummerzet ?]

A define possibility .

 

Is Zummerzet down ear in the Wild West?

 

Droive outa Brizzle an turn left, innit.

 

Thats Swindon ?

 

Naah - turn right for Swindon.....

 

Yet you still manage to find caches

[HELP from everyone]

The leveller will - and often does - decimate the area looking for the cache

The migrator Refuses to replace the cache in the place it was found

[How do you write your log?]

So, a quick recap -

 

1. You read the cache page and know you will not enjoy the cache.

2. You do the cache anyway.

3. You then moan about it.

 

Personally I skip steps 2 and 3

I can see how this would prove to be extra tricky though: If, as you say, the hamsters will be trained to move randomly from cache to cache then I can foresee the possibility of a cacher finding the first few caches to be hamster-free and continuing onwards along the walk...

 

At this pointy the tricky little beasts from caches further on down the course could scurry back undercover along the hedgerows to the start of the multi and make themselves comfortable in the caches that have already been searched.

 

I can see that in such circumstances the whole multi could take all day, rather than just 4 hours.

Indeed, some cachers may have to make multiple visits to find all three little beggars!

 

If 25 Hamstercachers all visited a different stage at a pre-defined time so as to get all three of the furry ones, could we all log it as found ?

 

EDIT just realised that the little blighters could be "between stages" at that time - back to the drawing board

We do however appreciate humour - unless you were being ironic, then... err..... move along, I see nothing here

OH dear 1 thread just been closed. Now let's wait and see the bashers rise this time (or maybe not)

 

Maybe you should take a look at the closed thread.

[Final Duck quacks...]

[Moderating moderating.]

[I for one..........]

I do not think the ability of the OP to terminate the thread was removed to stop threads being closed, just to stop them being reopened (the functions are linked in the forum software).

 

Being able to reopen a thread caused problems when a mod closed a thread for guideline breaches and the OP reopened it.

 

The suggestion that you can open a new thread to carry on a topic makes things difficult as you no longer have all the debate/discussion/bickering/arguement * in one place. I think requesting a thread be locked just because the original question was answered is a British thing, you rarely see a locked thread on the general fora.
