Hey there, trying to complete the level Hunting Party, and everything I’ve been trying is giving me errors. Any help would be appreciated! Here is my code:

```python
# Command your troops to move east and attack any ogres they see.
# Use for-loops and findFriends.
# You can use findNearestEnemy() on your soldiers to get their nearest enemy instead of yours.

friend = hero.findFriends()
for a in friend:
    enemy = friend[a].findNearestEnemy()
    movement = ({'x':friend[a].pos.x+2,'y':friend[a].pos.y})
    hero.command(friend[a], "move", movement)
    if enemy:
        hero.command(friend[a], "attack", enemy)
    a +=1

```

```python
movement = ({'x':friend[a].pos.x+2,'y':friend[a].pos.y})

```

I don’t think you need the regular parentheses in that line.

Actually that line seems to be fine. I made some progress by changing the for loop from:

```python
for a in friend:

```

to

```python
for a in range(len(friend)):

```

Now my minions will run to their designated locations but won’t stop to kill any enemies. Progress is being made!

Okay, I was an idiot (surprise!). Code loop worked just fine with the “for a in range(len(friend)):” change. I simply forgot to include the game loop (while True:). 🙄
