```python
# Summon some soldiers, then direct them to your base.

# Each soldier costs 20 gold.
"while hero.gold > hero.costOf("soldier"):
    hero.summon("soldier")
    
soldiers = hero.findFriends()
soldierIndex = 0
# Add a while loop to command all the soldiers.
friends = hero.findFriends()
while soldierIndex < len(friends):
    hero.findFriends()
    if friends:
        hero.command(soldier, "move", {"x": 50, "y": 40})
hero.moveXY(50, 40)"

```

Formated a bit better:

```python
# Summon some soldiers, then direct them to your base.

# Each soldier costs 20 gold.
while hero.gold > hero.costOf("soldier"):
    hero.summon("soldier")
    
soldiers = hero.findFriends()
soldierIndex = 0
# Add a while loop to command all the soldiers.
friends = hero.findFriends()
while soldierIndex < len(friends):
    hero.findFriends()
    if friends:
        hero.command(soldier, "move", {"x": 50, "y": 40})
hero.moveXY(50, 40)

```

I changed this whole section to `for soldier in soldiers:` and moved this

> [@qwerty](#):
>
> `soldiers = hero.findFriends()`

into the summoning bit and it worked

</div>

or instead replace `soldier` with `soldiers[soldierIndex]` and then add a `soldierIndex += 1` in the while loop

You’d probably have to use

```python
for soldier in soldiers
hero.command(soldier, "move" {"x": number, "y": number})
hero.moveXY(blah, blah)

```

this makes it easier

Return to your old code and face the error. It says soldier is not defined. So use a variable for your fsoldier that is defined.

wait for the for-loop make sure you have a colen at the end, because normally when you do that kind of for-loop it makes the var for you.
