Lua combat error

1

I was trying to go back through the levels and try the lua programing. It pops up with an error saying enemy not found please use enemy = hero:findNearestEnemy(). here’s my code:

while true do
enemy = hero:findNearestEnemy()
hero:attack(enemy)
end

Anyone know why its telling me this error if i have the code it tells me to use?

or
while enemy

What level are you playing?
What gear are you using?
Has this ever happened more than once?

I think that the end is making it stop the loop so it only attacks once.

So is it Dungeon, Forest, Desert, Mountian, or Glacier?
What name is the Level?
The reason I am Asking is to make sure that code combat is working correctly.
So could you send me the link?

It’s not an enemy its a local enemy.

write instead

while true do
    local enemy = hero:findNearestEnemy()
    hero:attack(enemy)
end

now its telling me it received null and asked if hero should always attack and use if. i tried but it wouldn’t work. is there a way i should type an if statement in lua that i don’t know?
(never mind. it works fine now) (thanks)
