Now my archers do not move and my paladin will not heal:

```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': 85, 'y': 74})
            enemy = friend.findNearestEnemy()
            if enemy and friend.pos.x == 85 and friend.pos.y == 74:
                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:
        enemy = friend.findNearestEnemy()
        
        if friend.type == "archer":
            hero.command(friend, "move", {'x': 22, 'y': 40})
            hero.command(friend, "move", {'x': 22, 'y': 66})

            hero.command(friend, "move", {'x': 75, 'y': 68})
            if enemy and enemy.type != "yeti":
                
                hero.command(friend, "attack", enemy)
        
            

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

Your friend’s y will never be 85 and 74.

what i did was make the paladin shield as I ran to a safe spot. if you time it correctly you can get the paladin to a safe spot like this  
 ![Screenshot 2020-08-16 at 10.51.59](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/codecombat/original/2X/9/981c0a9a063cd308c705f1822e2d10b333b839ea.png)  
the graphics on my computer are bad but that is the paladin with a shaman and in the end I had the paladin kill the shaman near him.  
with the paladin safe you can hurt the necromancer to make him flee so good luck I wont give away any more

Nothing new really happens and the archers do not move:

```python

            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': 85, 'y': 66})
            enemy = friend.findNearestEnemy()
            if enemy and friend.pos.x == 85 and friend.pos.y == 66:

at the start of the code you say for the paladin to move. at the start of the level the paladin is on slippery ice and cant move well. BTW sorry for the late reply I cant get on very often so sorry.

they cant move well on smooth ice if you move them off of that they can then do stuff. I have been told that if they get caught in the fling spells they will have one oppurtunity to attack before the fear spells kick in so you might want to try that
