I am stuck on Hunting Party, mountain level. This is my code:

```python
def spawn():
    hero.move(hero.pos)
    hero.move(hero.pos)
    hero.move(hero.pos)
    hero.move(hero.pos)
    hero.move(hero.pos)
    hero.moveXY(44, 67)
    while enemy:
        if hero.isReady("bash"):
            hero.bash(enemy)
        elif friend.health < 10:
            hero.consecrate()
        else:
            hero.attack(enemy)
        
pet.on("spawn", spawn)
while True:
    friends = hero.findFriends()
    # Use for-loop and for each friend:
    for i in range(len(friends)):
        # If they see an enemy then command to attack.
        friend = hero.findNearest(hero.findFriends())
        enemy = friend.findNearestEnemy()
        if enemy:
            hero.command(friend, "attack", enemy)
            # Command to move east by small steps.
        else:
            y = friend.pos.y
            x = friend.pos.x + 1000
            hero.command(friend, "move", {"x": x, "y": y})

```

Wait, are we talking about the same hunting party? Does your level look like this:

also, my code had to be reset because of infinite loop…

Okay, It looks like you have a very different strategy than what the level wants you to do. Try using a while loop and command your friends to attack an enemy if there is one. If not, try moving them forward. It should look something like this:

```python
while True:
    friends = hero.findFriends()
    for friend in friends:
        (Tell them to find an enemy)
        if enemy:
            (command them to attack the enemy)
        else:
            (Command them to move forward)

```

Hope this helps!

uhh, there is a weird error on my code. it says that “enemy” is not a unit…

Is it the same code that you posted before or is it edited now?

edited… and the original code in

```python
hero.command(friend, "attack", enemy)

</div>

I think that the issue might be coming from this:

> [@Wesley\_Leung](#):
>
> ```python
> for i in range(len(friends)):
> # If they see an enemy then command to attack.
> friend = hero.findNearest(hero.findFriends())
> 
> ```

If you want to use this kind of loop, try changing the second part to: `friend = friends[i]` so it will cycle through all of your friends. Hope this helps!

            x = friend.pos.x + 10
            hero.command(friend, "move", {"x": x, "y": y})

```

AND THEN IT HAS A ERROR SAYING THAT ENEMY IS A FUNCTION

Bonus isn’t too hard to actually get, try adjusting this number:

> [@Wesley\_Leung](#):
>
> `x = friend.pos.x + 10`

(Hint: it should be lower than 10)  
Hope this helps!
