        }

            hero.moveXY(40, 34);

    return 0;
}

The hero needs to move back to (40, 34) after placing a fire trap as well or they will blow themselves up.

That’s the point of the else, it means that when no enemies are on screen it returns to those coordinates, the problem i’m experiencing is that there is around a 15 second buffer period until my code even begins to do something so asking to see if my coding is the problem

Oh i see now. It took me a little to find it but auto isRight = hero.pos.x < enemy.pos.y; has a y instead of an x for enemy.pos

Thank you, appreciate it.
