my code is:

flag = self.findFlag(“green”)
while True:
thrower = self.findNearest(self.findByType(‘ogre’))
shaman = self.findNearest(self.findByType(‘shaman’))
fangrider = self.findNearest(self.findByType(‘fangrider’))
headhunter = self.findNearest(self.findByType(‘headhunter’))
sand-yak = self.findNearest(self.findByType(‘sand-yak’))
if thrower:
self.attack(thrower)
if shaman:
self.attack(shaman)
if fangrider:
self.attack(fangrider)
if headhunter:
self.attack(headhunter)
if sand-yak:
self.moveXY(42, 78)

else:
    enemy = self.findNearest(self.findEnemies())
    if enemy:
        self.attack(enemy)

I don’t think you can use - in your variable names. The computer is probably trying to subtract sand from yak. Rename your variable sandYak and see if it works.

then i cant write the name and space does not do anything
still says rvalue

No he’s right, the dash is seen as an operator here.
change variables to sandYak or sandyak will work.

sand-yak = self.findNearest(self.findByType(‘sand-yak’))
becomes
sandYak = self.findNearest(self.findByType(‘sand-yak’))

and
if sand-yak:
if sandYak

The name/unit type in findByType(‘sand-yak’)) is left be.

If you’re indiscriminately attacking the nearest member of team ogre.
It might be easier to do a single set:

if !sandYak
self.attack(target)
elif sandYak
self.moveXY
