```python
# Gather coins to summon soldiers and have them attack the enemy.
while True:
    hero.findNearestItem()
    coin = NearestItem
    # Move to the nearest coin.
    # Use move instead of moveXY so you can command constantly.
    if coin:
        hero.move(coin.pos.x) (coin.pos.y)    
        hero.say("I need coins!")
    # If you have funds for a soldier, summon one.
    if hero.gold > hero.costOf("soldier"):
        hero.say("I should summon something here!")
        hero.summon("soldier")
    enemy = hero.findNearest(hero.findEnemies())
    if enemy:
        soldiers = hero.findFriends()
        soldierIndex = 0
        soldier = soldiers[soldierIndex]
        # Loop over all your soldiers and order them to attack.
        while True:
            # Use the 'attack' command to make your soldiers attack
            hero.command(soldier, "attack", enemy)
            #hero.command(soldier, "attack", enemy)

```

So using this Python code gives me

but if I remove line 4 it gives me  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/codecombat/original/3X/0/5/05a7971b84aba8a52953b1d38baa30f8e27e516e.png)  
and i’m really confused on what to do to fix it.

No, make this first statement a variable, `variable = hero.something`

> **Hint (think about it first)**

> Try another time before this! → `coin = hero.findNearestItem()`

</div>

Would it be  
` coin = hero.findNearestItem?`  
I’d put that at the start right?  
I haven’t checked the hint yet incase i’m wrong

That’s right, but don’t forget the parenthesis, and yes at the top, though inside the `while True` loop

</div>

```python
while True:
    coin = hero.findNearestItem()
    # Move to the nearest coin.
    # Use move instead of moveXY so you can command constantly.
    if coin:
        hero.move(coin.pos.x) (coin.pos.y)

```

Apparantly there’s something wrong on the last line

</div>

This statement takes only one parameter, and i doubt that there is any method that takes more than one pair of parenthesis.  
You can either do: `hero.move(coin.pos)`  
or `hero.moveXY(coin.posx, coin.pos.y)`
