I am stuck on the level, “Hit and Freeze.”  
This is my code:

# You are trapped. Don’t move, it’ll be painful.

# This function checks if the enemy is in your attack range.

def inAttackRange(enemy):  
distance = hero.distanceTo(enemy)  
# Almost all swords have attack range of 3.  
if distance \<= 3:  
return True  
else:  
return False

# Attack ogres only when they’re within reach.

while True:  
# Find the nearest enemy and store it in a variable.  
enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy()  
# Call inAttackRange(enemy), with the enemy as the argument  
# and save the result in the variable canAttack.  
canAttack = inAttackRange()  
# If the result stored in canAttack is True, then attack!  
hero.attack(enemy)  
pass

PLEASE HELP:(😱

Wait, @SuperSmacker that’s a solution could you get rid of it. (actually it doesn’t really matter, do what you think)

</div>

here is the code

# This function checks if the enemy is in your attack range.

def inAttackRange(enemy):  
distance = hero.distanceTo(enemy)  
# Almost all swords have attack range of 3.  
if distance \<= 3:  
return True  
else:  
return False

# Attack ogres only when they’re within reach.

while True:  
# Find the nearest enemy and store it in a variable.  
enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy()  
# Call inAttackRange(enemy), with the enemy as the argument  
# and save the result in the variable canAttack.  
canAttack = inAttackRange  
# If the result stored in canAttack is True, then attack!  
hero.attack(enemy)  
pass

this code attacks the munchkins and kills 5 exactly but when the others escape the hero follows it and takes too much damage from the trap.

Can you format your code so we can see clearly? Use the \</\> button to do that.

Please learn to post your code properly. It’s really easy and only requires a very small amount of effort.

![FormatCode](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/codecombat/original/2X/0/03e091050fe4eed8c0076eee4ab979e171ba14c3.jpg)

To post your code **_from the game_** , use the **\</\>** button or it won’t format properly. When you click the **\</\>** button, the following will appear:

![PostCode](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/codecombat/original/2X/7/78430fb6ee8dec450c5a0355db89d0dc189030b4.JPG)

Please paste **ALL** of your code inside the triple back tick marks.

# ``` \<— Triple back tick marks.

**Paste ALL of your code in here.**

# ``` \<— Triple back tick marks.

There are many people here willing and able to help. If you use the **\</\>** button correctly, then **ALL** of your code should look like this:

```python
while True:
    enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy()
    if enemy:
        hero.attack(enemy)
    else:
        hero.say("My code is formatted properly")

```

If **ALL** of your code isn’t formatted like the code above, then you’re doing it wrong and **_we can’t see the structure of the code_** to troubleshoot whether or not that is the issue. Use the **\</\>** button and **_help us help you_**. This works when sending a private message as well.

Thank you.

… (20 fainted @Chaboi_3000’s ) Maybe have a notepad of all copy and paste items. Then you can choose a variety of posts that are going to be repeated.

Set up canned replies, it’s easier. Just click on the gear and set them up. 🕶

Oh, didn’t know that the option wasn’t available to you. Someday…

Until then, use a word doc or .txt. Still fast and easy.

Btw moderation in discord servers are tough when so many people hate each other, I’m like warn then kick then ban, and it’s making me crazy. You’re lucky you’re a mod of a peaceful chat because mines are indescribably out of control.
