I need help with the level Kelvintaph Defiler.  
Here is my code:

```python
def commandPaladin():
    friends = hero.findFriends()
    for friend in friends:
        if friend.type == "paladin":
            hero.command(friend, "move", {'x': 22, 'y': 40})
            hero.command(friend, "move", {'x': 22, 'y': 66})
            hero.command(friend, "move", {'x': 42, 'y': 66})
            hero.command(friend, "move", {'x': 42, 'y': 82})
            hero.command(friend, "move", {'x': 74, 'y': 82})
            hero.command(friend, "move", {'x': 75, 'y': 68})
            enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy()
            if enemy:
                hero.command(friend, "attack", enemy)
                hero.command(friend, "shield")
                if friend.canCast("heal") and friend.health < friend.maxHealth:
                    hero.command(friend, "cast", "heal", friend)

def commandHero():
    hero.moveXY(34, 15)
    hero.moveXY(34, 22)

def commandHelpers():
    friends = hero.findFriends()
    for friend in friends:
        paladin = friend.findByType("paladin")
        if friend.type == "archer":
            
            if paladin:
                hero.command(friend, "move", {'x': paladin.pos.x, 'y': paladin.pos.y})

def commandOthers():
    friends = hero.findFriends()
    for friend in friends:
        if friend.type == "soldiers":
            enemy = friend.findNearestEnemy()
            if enemy:
                hero.command(friend, "attack", enemy)
                

commandHero()
while True:
    commandPaladin()
    commandHelpers()
    commandOthers()

```

I’m pretty sure that

gives you an array. Also,

@Speedypickle1, you should replace

> [@Speedypickle1](#):
>
> `if friend.type == "soldiers":`

with

```python
if friend.type == "soldier":

```

also,

> [@Speedypickle1](#):
>
> `paladin = friend.findByType("paladin")`

gives you an array like [paladin1.id, paladin2.id].

> [@Speedypickle1](#):
>
> `hero.command(friend, "move", {'x': paladin.pos.x, 'y': paladin.pos.y})`

I’m pretty sure an array doesn’t have a position.

Try to use moveXY instead of ‘move’

I suggest giving them a x and y to go to. you could send them to the chamber the paladin that the paladin is in. BTW how do they get free mine just sit afraid.

You haven’t command your archers to attack, unless you want them to be idle.

The problem is that when the paladin attacks the yeti the archers will get blocked trying to move
