If in doubt, try the blue pill... Er uh, what are we talking about again?

If that is the label in question then I agree with your assumption.

No tracking number = collectable/signature item. (I have one of those too!)

An all too common fate for the little (usually) travelers.

Really, what is the difference between getting carried in a mail truck or your POV? But, asking the owner about their opinion may be polite.

Disable it first to let others know that it is unavailable. After the repairs are made then enable the listing. If you move it, post an "Update Coordinates" log with the new coords. You are now good to go!

I haven't seen any reported problem regarding uploading pictures to logs... as yet. MrsB Thanks for the reply. I'll try it a few more times, then report it as an issue. I had trouble uploading a photo to a cache log this morning. It eventually worked, try again...

I say, as long as the cache is not too full and the item(s) is/are not among the prohibited sort (food, non-family friendly, etc), then feel free!

I concur, direct them to the owner.

Or does that link vanish when the challenge can no longer be edited (>24 hrs or accepted by other player)?

On the page for the challenge you will see a link to archive the challenge in the third box down on the right, try that.

I really must disagree with you...

I second that.

SPARE BATTERIES!!

Well, I prefer nude but that does cause quite the stir.

First of all, welcome to the game! This, sadly, is a source of confusion for new cachers. A summary: "Retrieve" Used when you obtained the trackable from the cache that it is inventoried to. "Grabbed" Used if you either: 1) Obtained the trackable from a cache other than the one that it is inventoried to, or 2) Obtained the trackable from another cacher. My two cents about grabbing from another cacher: My parents always taught me that it is rude to grab something out of someone elses hands. I feel this applies to trackables as well. The other cacher may not have had a chance to log the drop or forgot about it. As a personal rule, if I obtain a trackable that is still listed in another cachers inventory, I will send them a friendly note 'reminding' them that they need to log it into the cache. If no reply is received in a reasonable time, then I will grab it from that cacher and 'visit' it to the cache I took it from to update its travels (aka mileage). I hope this clears it up, I would be happy to go into a greater explanation if you have any other questions!! Happy caching.

When you connect your Garmin to your computer you will see two folders: Garmin and Wherigo. Open the garmin folder and there you will find several files and folders. The one you need is the gpx folder. Copy and paste the *.gpx file from your PQ into that folder. Only the last five logs will appear on your garmin, so the newer ones will push those older ones out of view. If you need any further help, ask!

As a cache owner, I will verify that the trackable is missing. Then I like to go one step further, I back track through the logs and send notes to those who have logged a find since that trackable was last accounted for and nicely ask them if they saw/grabbed that particular trackable and forgot about it. This method has recovered a few trackables and the cachers that had them were all grateful for the reminder. If, after that, nobody admits anything or responds, I will log it missing and send the owner a note explaing that I tried to find it but sadly could not.

You should be able to 'grab it' just like any other trackable, ownership status does not affect that. I have retrieved my own TB from a cache before without issue. Have you simply tried the action 'move it to your inventory' or have you tried to post a log 'grab it from current holder?" I suspect the latter will work just fine.

Is this in Urwigo or another builder?

In my experience with Urwigo, the errors it provides are syntax based and not related to device compatibility.

Hello, I had a zone where the player had to locate an object. There were five possible places to check. I used the random number expression to assign a process variable a random number between 1 and 5. Then, in an if/else branch, the item was moved to one of the five locations within the zone based on the value of the process variable. It may work for you, may not... Happy programming.

Well, I may still be in the Builder mindset... I have discovered, and am exploring, the 'Numeric operation' expression in Urwigo. This may free me from the need of an author script that would have been required for this operation in Builder... I am liking Urwigo more and more... I am still interested in syntax for author scripts, though it may just be for curiousity's sake.

I would like to use an author function to manipulate a variable set by a user input, display a message, and alter attributes of character commands. I understand how to do this in Builder; however, that syntax does not appear to be the same as Urwigo. I tried reading the code in the *.urwigo file to glean something there, but that is proving to be most difficult. Can somebody please offer some advice on syntax for arguements in author functions. Example, this is how I would write it in Builder. What is the translation to Urwigo speak? function zinputQuestion1:ongetinput(input) local var_name_1 = tonumber(input) local var_name_2 = (var_name_1 * 2) Wherigo.MessageBox{Text=[[Thank you, the answer is: ]] ...var_name_2... ,} zcharacterGuy.Commands["Question1"].Enabled = false zcharacterGuy.Commands["Question2"].Enabled = true end Thank you!

Hello, First, insert your if/else action. Use the 'Compare' expression for setting the condition. Drag in whatever variable or property you want to compare to the left side and the value on the right. Add more branches if required. Note, 'Compare' is not needed for the 'Else' branch. ~Nick
