I really need help in hunting party, here is my code:

```python
enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy()
while enemy:
    friends = hero.findFriends()
    
    for friend in friends:
        enemy = friend.findNearest(friend.findEnemies())
        if enemy:
            hero.command(friend, "attack", enemy)
        else:
            hero.command(friend, "move", {'x': friend.pos.x + 24, 'y':friend.pos.y})

```

only one person moves the rest just stays right there.

Yea it does, the probleme is defining before, it will take the one before. So the troops might be confused a little

        enemy = friend.findNearest(friend.findEnemies())
        if enemy:
            hero.command(friend, "attack", enemy)

No the loop is a while true loop, the reason why it did not work is that your checking if there is an enemy. They are very far away unless you have infinite range glasses it wont work

I don’t think that this is a big deal, but you can remove the
