I need help on building a new level [SOLVED]

Artisan

I made a new level called the-eye-of-the-fortress and I’m trying to program Zana to attack the ogres because there is nothing that makes her attack automatically. Somehow, she keeps attacking herself and this is a problem with all my other heroic sprites (except commendable types).

Please could you post a link to the level editor. I tried using the-eye-of-the-fortress, but it didn’t work… Have you published it yet?

And also, I think you should try CodeCombat - Coding games to learn Python and JavaScript

5

For the link to the level.

6

I’ve finished publishing the level, so you can use it.

7

I see the problem. I think you have too many things in the level.

8

Actually, thanks for telling me, I’ll remove some of my archers and paladins. But, my problem is that the other characters, like the pixie Zana I added, just won’t attack the enemies! They only attack themselves! They’re not enemies for themselves! And I added targeting. Targets but it still won’t work properly!

Oh, I forgot to use artificial intelligence. I’ve solved my problem. Thanks everyone in this post for helping out!
