My code seems correct and I even followed the video tutorial but my hero just stands there.  
@Serg @Bryukh @nick

```python
while(true) {
    var friend = hero.findNearest(hero.findFriends());
    var offsetX = friend.pos.x - hero.pos.x;
    var offsetY = friend.pos.y - hero.pos.y;

    hero.move({x: friend.pos.x - offsetX, y: friend.pos.y - offsetY});
}

```

Maybe use `"x"` and `"y"` instead of just `x` and `y`?

I don’t know, hero just stands there. All of the other people who solved this had identical code to me so I don’t get why mines wouldn’t work.

Also do you have boots with `move` ability?

Seems like a bug. Maybe contact @serg or @Bryukh or somebody.

Fine boots do not have `move`.  
Updated: Oops, they do. I was thinking of the softened leather boots 😂

Your code has one mistake (two technically). Try to “debug” it in your mind. What is happening in each cycle? You find `offsets` and move your hero to the friend’s position plus offset, but what the new position is? Yes, it’s your hero position. I suppose you can find the answer already, however, if it’s not enough, say me and I will add a hint 😉

I’m still confused because in the while loop, every new cycle, offset will be redefined as the friends NEW pos.x - hero.pos.x

</div>

Yes, so you don’t need to redefine it. You need the initial offset (at the 1st frame) then use only it.

Thank You, that solves it. I put the friends and offsets outside of the while loop and it worked.
