If more than so many enemies

Hello, I’m trying to work out a way to do things, such as cleave if there are more than so many enemies.

I know how to get it done if enemies are near or far, but I’m wanting to do something such as “cleave” or other abilities if there are more than say 3 or 5.

I found a similar topic, but the answer just said have better glasses. I have some decent glasses, and the ones that were mentioned in the other post, but I still cannot figure this out.

Thanks for your help ahead of time!

pseudo-code

loop over list of enemies
    if enemy within cleave distance
        increment count

if count high enough
    perform high enemy count action

Thanks! That will help.

I tried this, but for some reason my counter either doesn’t resolve anything or it resolves as NaN

snippet below:

    munchkins = self.findByType("munchkin")
    for munchkin in munchkins:
        if self.distanceTo(munchkin) < 10:
            numberCloseMunchkins += 1
            self.say(numberCloseMunchkins + " munchkins are nearby!")

this will output NaN munchkins are nearby.

Obviously, it won’t cleave them either because the if statement will never resolve true.

What am i missing here?

I tried setting numberCloseMunchkins to 0 by default, but that didn’t solve the problem either.

I found the problem, i used == instead of = to set the initial value.
