I need it for a level… is there any way to see what it’s saying? Like `enemy.message` or something… (btw, `enemy.message` doesn’t work, I already tried owo)

Well I don’t think there is a way to tell what an enemy is saying

Update: doesn’t seem like there is, I used this:

```javascript
const message = 'Collect gold';
const e = hero.findNearestEnemy();
const messageExists = Object.keys(e).filter(key => (function () {
    try { return e[key] } catch (error) { return false; }
})()).map(prop => e[prop]).indexOf(message) !== -1;

```

to filter all accessible properties and tried to find the message (which btw is incorrect here since I don’t want you to know the level)

I’m not sure and I’m not the expert, but maybe something like that could be done. But by very pro coder.  
I’ll try to find close topic a little bit later.
