From what I gether your trying to sort of even out the levels of your towers?  
I’d run a checklist to make sure all your towers are even

```python
var towerA = hero.buildTower('tower-type', towerA.x, towerA.y);
var towerB = hero.buildTower('tower-type', towerB.x, towerB.y);
var towerC = hero.buildTower('tower-type', towerC.x, towerC.y);
if(towerA.level > towerB.level){
    hero.build('tower-type', towerB.x, towerB.y);
}else if(towerB.level > towerC.level
    hero.build('tower-type', towerC.x, towerC.y);
}

```

and so on.

No what I was trying to do was was use a while true loop for the counter anomalies code then when I have enough mana to build a tower (a if 25 mana code) then continue back to the counter anomalies code. Then after that do the same thing but place a different tower. Also Im python.

Okay, I cant help with the python, but you could make the anomolie code a function and put it between every step.

```python
hero.whoopdidoo()
anomolyCounter()
hero.wippidybam()

```

I like to make an array of the towers I want to build, like:

```python
toBuild = [
    {"x": 18, "y": 52, "type": "cannon", "targeting": "right"},
    {"x": 18, "y": 40, "type": "archer", "targeting": "close"},
    # ... more towers here
]

built = 0
while True:
    if hero.mana >= 25:
        next = toBuild[built % len(toBuild)]
        tower = hero.build(type, next.x, next.y)
        if tower != 'interrupted':
            hero.setTargeting(tower, next.targeting)
        built += 1
    else:
        # your anomaly code here

```

You could then go on to split your tower building and anomaly code into functions that return whether they blocked, so that your hero is only taking one blocking action per iteration of the `while True:` loop. Maybe you decide to use anomalies first before building towers?

```python
def maybeBuild():
    if hero.mana < 25:
        return False
    # tower building logic here
    return True

def maybeUseAnomaly():
    # anomaly-using code here, returning True if you use one
    return False

while True:
    if maybeUseAnomaly():
        pass # do nothing this round of the loop
    elif maybeBuild():
        pass
    else:
        pass # chillin' like a villain

```
