Don't Touch Them (JavaScript)

jdad · December 9, 2020, 9:17pm

I’m stuck on the level Don’t Touch Them. I read through another thread but it dod not solve the problem and the thread cut off before someone really helped. Can someone please help me? There are no code errors that pop up and I hit the goals but the level does not end. Here’s the code I used:

function createGenerator(spawnType, x, y, spawnAI) {
var generator = game.spawnXY(“generator”, x, y);
generator.spawnType = spawnType;
generator.spawnAI = spawnAI;
}

// Scouts are aggressive and munchkins are just walking.
createGenerator(“scout”, 12, 12, “AttacksNearest”);
createGenerator(“scout”, 68, 56, “AttacksNearest”);
createGenerator(“munchkin”, 12, 56, “Scampers”);
createGenerator(“munchkin”, 68, 12, “Scampers”);

var player = game.spawnPlayerXY(“duelist”, 40, 34);
player.maxHealth = 1000;
player.attackDamage = 20;
player.maxSpeed = 20;

// These are our goals. Notice we save them in variables!
var spawnMunchkinsGoal = game.addManualGoal(“Let 6 munchkins spawn.”);
var dontTouchGoal = game.addManualGoal(“Don’t attack munchkins.”);
var defeatScoutsGoal = game.addManualGoal(“Defeat 6 scouts.”);
// game properties used to count new and defeated ogres.
game.spawnedMunchkins = 0;
game.defeatedScouts = 0;
game.successGoal = 0;
ui.track(game, “spawnedMunchkins”);
ui.track(game, “defeatedScouts”);

function onSpawn(event) {
game.spawnedMunchkins += 1;
}

game.setActionFor(“munchkin”, “spawn”, onSpawn);
game.setActionFor(“munchkin”, “defeat”, onDefeat);
game.setActionFor(“scout”, “defeat”, onDefeat);

while (true) {
checkGoals();
}

please format your code properly using this

I did format it properly but when I pasted it in this chat the formats were removed. See screenshot:

function createGenerator(spawnType, x, y, spawnAI) {
var generator = game.spawnXY(“generator”, x, y);
generator.spawnType = spawnType;
generator.spawnAI = spawnAI;
}

// Scouts are aggressive and munchkins are just walking.
createGenerator(“scout”, 12, 12, “AttacksNearest”);
createGenerator(“scout”, 68, 56, “AttacksNearest”);
createGenerator(“munchkin”, 12, 56, “Scampers”);
createGenerator(“munchkin”, 68, 12, “Scampers”);

var player = game.spawnPlayerXY(“duelist”, 40, 34);
player.maxHealth = 1000;
player.attackDamage = 20;
player.maxSpeed = 20;

// These are our goals. Notice we save them in variables!
var spawnMunchkinsGoal = game.addManualGoal(“Let 6 munchkins spawn.”);
var dontTouchGoal = game.addManualGoal(“Don’t attack munchkins.”);
var defeatScoutsGoal = game.addManualGoal(“Defeat 6 scouts.”);
// game properties used to count new and defeated ogres.
game.spawnedMunchkins = 0;
game.defeatedScouts = 0;
ui.track(game, “spawnedMunchkins”);
ui.track(game, “defeatedScouts”);

function onSpawn(event) {
game.spawnedMunchkins += 1;
}

game.setActionFor(“munchkin”, “spawn”, onSpawn);
game.setActionFor(“munchkin”, “defeat”, onDefeat);
game.setActionFor(“scout”, “defeat”, onDefeat);

while (true) {
checkGoals();

Click on this button:

Then type your code in here:
2020-12-10_13-46-46

So this code:

while True:
hero.say(“hi”)

Should be:

while True:
    hero.say("hi")

You are supposed to replace the line “type or paste code here” with your code.

jdad · December 10, 2020, 10:32pm

I just did what you said, I used pasye. When I pasted the code it looked proper. Then I posted it and it took away the indentations.

abc · December 10, 2020, 10:32pm

Do you see the difference between these two codes? One is formatted and the other is not.

jdad · December 10, 2020, 10:35pm

I do see the difference and that is what it looks like when I paste it.

abc · December 10, 2020, 10:37pm

Screenshot 2020-12-10 at 5.35.52 PM

Writing the above like that ends up looking like this:

jdad · December 10, 2020, 10:38pm

I see the difference. See my screenshoot:

Thank you! I finally was able to post it properly. Can you look at it and help me? I have been stuck here for two days. They do not even have the answers this level online like some of the other levels if you can’t figure it out.

abc · December 10, 2020, 10:44pm

When you play the level, only click on the scouts. Do not click on the munchkins.

jdad · December 10, 2020, 10:46pm

That’s what I do. I get over 6 scouts on my board but it just keeps going:

jdad · December 10, 2020, 10:48pm

The screenshot shows that I killed 7 there.

abc · December 10, 2020, 10:54pm

I don’t see what is wrong.

abc · December 10, 2020, 11:18pm

@jdad, I found it!
Replace true with True, it needs to be capitalized.

jdad · December 10, 2020, 11:25pm

I don’t get it. I kill more than 7 scouts. I do not attack the scouts, it says ouch if I do so I know I didn’t. Thank you for trying to help me!

I replaced the True with true and it still will not work

abc · December 10, 2020, 11:46pm

You are supposed to replace true with True.
