# Attack the enemy that's farthest away first.

while True:
    farthest = None
    maxDistance = 0
    enemyIndex = 0
    enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy()
    # Look at all the enemies to figure out which one is farthest away
    while enemyIndex < len(enemy):
        target = enemy[enemyIndex] 
        enemyIndex += 1
    # Is this enemy farther than the farthest we've seen so far?
    distance = hero.distanceTo(target)
    if distance > maxDistance:
        maxDistance = distance
        farthest = target
    if farthest:
        # Take out the farthest enemy!
        # Keep attacking the enemy while its health is greater than 0.
        while enemy.health > 0:
            hero.attack(enemy)`

Huh. @Anonym Why is your @ not @ing him?

4

idk, it didn’t work occasionally

5

did I do something wrong?

6

Please read this topic to format the code correctly.

I did it so now what am I supposed to do. :slight_smile:

I am very sorry, but I can’t reply now(((((
@Eric_Tang ?

I have school right now.

It’s because this part is not inside of the while loop checking if enemyIndex is less than the length of enemies. Indent it one time.

Here you want to check if farthest health is greater than zero. If it is, then attack farthest.

I do not understand…

For the second part I mentioned, if you are attacking enemy, then you will be attacking the nearest enemy. You need to attack the farthest enemy not the nearest enemy. So you need attack farthest while farthest health is greater than zero. But if you attack farthest and do indent the first part I mentioned, farthest won’t update, so you won’t attack farthest. So all you need to do is restart your code, and then you need to add this in the if farthest loop:

while farthest.health >0:
    hero.attack(farthest)
