uh my fish is mad im gonna feed him

6

also question are you fully done with codecombat

7

Instead of running hero.findFriends() inside of commandSoldier() and commandArcher() (which finds an array of units by the way, not just one object).
You just have to use the archer and soldier that is passed to your function, and you do need to add archer to the arguments in your function definition for commandArcher like it was done with commandSoldier
Also, you cannot use a While True loop in commandArcher or your hero will just sit there and command them but not collect anything
There is some redundant code in commandArcher but it won’t hurt anything

8

yes, with the campaign (other than a few new levels they added after my sub expired)
I might take part in future arenas if I have the time though

9

wait can you show me what that looks like

10

my world map?

11

no the code that you. said

12

It’s against the rules (and I agree)

13

I can help you further if you’re confused on something though

14

not solution i mean what the code fix you told me looks like

15

well for the first part
instead of def commandArcher(): you need to add archer in between the parantheses
delete archer.pos = (23, archer.pos.y) (you cannot set archer.pos)
and change all instances of friend to archer inside commandArcher
same thing with commandSoldier but with soldier ofc

16

uh my fish is mad wait right here
