Assigning Variables to Enemies

Level Help
1

It seems that when I assign variables to enemies, the first enemy I see gets the assignment, leaving the other ones untouchable. If I assign one enemy to enemy1, and then the other to enemy2, the first enemy will be “enemy1” and “enemy2”. If I assign more varaibels the first enemy in the line of sight will be enemy1, enemy2, enemy3…and so on.
Any way around this?

Try this. This makes it so you can assign a variable to the nth enemy.

enemies=hero.findEnemies()
enemy=enemies[0] #This finds the first enemy 
enemy1=enemies[1] #This finds the second enemy
enemy2=enemies[2] #This finds the third enemy.

you can do this instead finding each enemy 1 by 1

var enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy();
while (enemy){
   hero.attack(enemy);
}

I can still only target one enemy to attack. My character never picks up that there are two.

Put the var enemy=hero.findNearestEnemy();, into a while (true){ } loop. It checks for an enemy every frame and attacks it.

i meant to put the while enemy inside of a while true loop, sorry if i confused you

Hey guys thanks for the help. This level has been solved. I ditched the loops and just told the character to do everything step by step and that worked.

Put [SOLVED] on the title so everyone can see.

I’m sure Enderlord meant:

while(true){
    var enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy();
    while(enemy && enemy.health > 0)
        hero.attack(enemy);
}

if the condition is only while(enemy) and the hero has a weak sword the result will be the message:
butitsdead
and the hero will freeze.
