Negative Attributes

[+Stuckin4th]

I signed a challenge that states that I need so many Not Available at all Times icons. How do I filter for that? Is it possible to do this? I only need 10 more.

You can use Pocket Queries to do that. Click on the attribute a second time to select its negative state.

You can also see how many positive and negative attributes you have on your profile stats page on Project-gc.

They are shown last on the first tab called finds.

I'll try that, thanks. So, you mean I make a pocket query and then filter for negative attributes? Hmmm. I know how to put a negative attribute on a cache that I own, but I didn't know that I could filter using negatives.

Ah, it was finding caches with negative attributes you needed. I misunderstood your post.

 

No, using the search for negative attributes is impossible.

You will haft to use the pocket query to find the caches with the attribute "not available at all times". Depending on which app you use the pocket query can be downloaded directly or you will haft to download the gpx file. 

Also add the region you want to see the caches in, or a coordinate and distance if there are no region, to limit the amount of caches.

 

Project-gc can also be used. 

First you need to create a custom filter with the negative attributes.

Then do an map compare adding "cache location" and "custom filter".

Why is this anyway? Many of the attributes are "negative" to begin with. Aside from certain weird challenges, you are much more likely to search for caches that don't involve poisonous plants, ticks and thorns than the ones that do.

No, you set the Pocket Query to return only caches with the negative attribute you want. The results should be the caches you need.
