Hello all,

I’m a little stuck on this level and seeking some help. This is my code with comments cut out:

> while True:

> evilstone = hero.findNearestItem()  
> if evilstone:  
> pos = evilstone.pos  
> if pos.x == 34:  
> hero.moveXY(46,22)

> ```
> else:
> hero.moveXY(34,22)
> 
> ```

> else:  
> hero.moveXY(40,22)

For some reason my character just stops after about 11 seconds and stands in the middle, getting hit with a fireball. Everything is running great up to that point.

I also tried changing the nested else statement to an elif pos.x == 46 but this did not help.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I also have a similar problem, my hero would be dodging the fireballs and then after he dodges one certain fireball, the fireballs would stop, then, my hero would die. Here is my code:

```python
while True:
    evilstone = hero.findNearestItem()
    if evilstone:
        pos = evilstone.pos
        if pos.x == 34:  
            hero.moveXY(46, 22)
            
            pass
        else:
            hero.moveXY(34, 23)
            pass
    else:
        hero.moveXY(40, 22)
        pass

```

Please learn to post your code properly. It’s really easy and only requires a very small amount of effort.

 ![FormatCode](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/codecombat/original/2X/0/03e091050fe4eed8c0076eee4ab979e171ba14c3.jpg)

To post your code **_from the game_** , use the **\</\>** button or it won’t format properly. When you click the **\</\>** button, the following will appear:

 ![PostCode](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/codecombat/original/2X/7/78430fb6ee8dec450c5a0355db89d0dc189030b4.JPG)

Please paste **ALL** of your code inside the triple back tick marks.

# ``` \<— Triple back tick marks.

**Paste ALL of your code in here.**

# ``` \<— Triple back tick marks.

There are many people here willing and able to help. If you use the **\</\>** button correctly, then **ALL** of your code should look like this:

```python
while True:
    enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy()
    if enemy:
        hero.attack(enemy)
    else:
        hero.say("My code is formatted properly")

```

If **ALL** of your code isn’t formatted like the code above, then you’re doing it wrong and **_we can’t see the structure of the code_** to troubleshoot whether or not that is the issue. Use the **\</\>** button and **_help us help you_**. This works when sending a private message as well.

Thank you.

@Joshua_Lange you should be using if loops and while loops and you are not doing the level the correct way. Use the hints as they will help a little bit
