Need Help on Kelvintaph Burgler (Help Please) [SOLVED]

I want the paladin to move near the chieftan and come back to the other side but she only stays on one side.
Here is my code:

distracted_chieftan = False
def commandPaladin(friend):
    if not distracted_chieftan:
        hero.command(friend, "move", Vector(53,50))
        dodge()
        dodge()
        dodge()
        dodge()
        distracted_chieftan = True
    if distracted_chieftan:
        hero.command(friend, "move", Vector(32,50))
def almostEqual(a, b):
    return a-4 < b < a+4
def dodge():
    missles = hero.findEnemyMissiles()
    if len(missles) != 0:
        missle = hero.findNearest(missles)
        if missle:
            distance = hero.distanceTo(missle)
            if distance < 5:
                if almostEqual(hero.pos.y, 14):
                    hero.moveXY(hero.pos.x, hero.pos.y-8)
                elif almostEqual(hero.pos.y, 6):
                    hero.moveXY(hero.pos.x, hero.pos.y+8)
while True:
    dodge()
    paladin = hero.findByType("paladin")[0]
    commandPaladin(paladin)

Do you want this?

def commandPaladin(friend):
    if friend:
        if not distracted_chieftan:
            hero.command(friend, "move", Vector(53,50))
            # dodge()...
            distracted_chieftan = True
        elif distracted_chieftan:
            hero.command(friend, "move", Vector(32,50))

I like the way you move

[Hin_Lee]

Well, but he won’t move to the other side.

[Hin_Lee]

I changed my code with different variables:

# What eldritch artifacts are these? Don't let them blast you!
# The ice gate will open when both ogres are defeated.
dis = False
def commandPaladin(friend):
    if not dis:
        hero.command(friend, "move", Vector(53,50))
        distracted_chieftan = True
    if dis:
        hero.command(friend, "move", Vector(32,50))
def almostEqual(a, b):
    return a-4 < b < a+4
def dodge():
    missles = hero.findEnemyMissiles()
    if len(missles) != 0:
        missle = hero.findNearest(missles)
        if missle:
            distance = hero.distanceTo(missle)
            if distance < 5:
                if almostEqual(hero.pos.y, 14):
                    hero.moveXY(hero.pos.x, hero.pos.y-8)
                elif almostEqual(hero.pos.y, 6):
                    hero.moveXY(hero.pos.x, hero.pos.y+8)
while True:
    dodge()
    paladin = hero.findByType("paladin")[0]
    commandPaladin(paladin)

but now he won’t move back to the other side.

You want the paladin to turn toward the initial position as in this animation?

[Hin_Lee]

Actually, I’ve already changed my code to work. Thanks for all the help!

I’m curious how you solved it
I tried this code and it failed:

distracted_chieftan = False
pos1 = Vector(53,50)
pos2 = Vector(32,50)
def commandPaladin(friend):
    if friend:
        if not distracted_chieftan:
            hero.command(friend, "move", pos1)
            if friend.distanceTo(pos1) == 0:
                distracted_chieftan = True
        if distracted_chieftan:
            hero.command(friend, "move", pos2)
while True:
    dodge()
    friend = hero.findByType("paladin")[0]
    commandPaladin(friend)

but after inserting the function code into the while true loop

distracted_chieftan = False
pos1 = Vector(53,50)
pos2 = Vector(32,50)
while True:
    dodge()
    friend = hero.findByType("paladin")[0]
    if not distracted_chieftan:
        hero.command(friend, "move", pos1)
        if friend.distanceTo(pos1) == 0:
            distracted_chieftan = True
    if distracted_chieftan:
        hero.command(friend, "move", pos2)

the code worked

What is your solution? Why using this function doesn’t work?

[Hin_Lee]

I solved it. Here’s my code:

def findEnemy(id):
    for enemy in hero.findEnemies():
        if enemy.id == id:
            return enemy
    return None

dis = False
def commandPaladinStage1(friend):
    if not dis:
        hero.command(friend, "move", Vector(53,50))
        cheiftain = findEnemy("Oniko")
        if cheiftain and cheiftain.target == friend:
            dis = True
    if dis:
        hero.command(friend, "move", Vector(37,41))
def almostEqual(a, b):
    return a-4 < b < a+4
def almostEqual2(a, b):
    return a-0.6 < b < a+0.6
def dodge():
    missles = hero.findEnemyMissiles()
    if len(missles) != 0:
        missle = hero.findNearest(missles)
        if missle:
            distance = hero.distanceTo(missle)
            if distance < 6:
                if almostEqual(hero.pos.y, 14):
                    hero.moveXY(hero.pos.x, hero.pos.y-8)
                elif almostEqual(hero.pos.y, 6):
                    hero.moveXY(hero.pos.x, hero.pos.y+8)
stage = 1
while True:
    dodge()
    if stage == 1:
        paladin = hero.findByType("paladin")[0]
        commandPaladinStage1(paladin)
    if len(hero.findByType("chieftain")) == 0:
        stage = 2
    

I haven’t completed it yet but I hope I will.
