Python: Hunters and Prey[SOLVED]

I can’t get the arrays to work.

# Ogres are trying to take out your reindeer!
# Keep your archers back while summoning soldiers to attack.
def pickUpCoin():
    # Collect coins.
    item = hero.findNearestItem()
    if item:
        hero.moveXY(item.pos.x, item.pos.y)
    pass
def summonTroops():
    # Summon soldiers if you have the gold.
    if hero.gold > hero.costOf("soldier"):
        hero.summon("soldier")
    pass
    
# This function has an argument named soldier.
# Arguments are like variables.
# The value of an argument is determined when the function is called.
def commandSoldier(soldier):
    # Soldiers should attack enemies.
    enemy = soldier.findNearestEnemy
    hero.command(soldier, "attack", enemy)
    pass
# Write a commandArcher function to tell your archers what to do!
# It should take one argument that will represent the archer passed to the function when it's called.
# Archers should only attack enemies who are closer than 25 meters, otherwise, stay still.
def commandArcher(archer):
    enemy = archer.findNearestEnemy
    if enemy.pos.x < 50:
        hero.command(archer, "attack", enemy)
hero.setFlowerColor("purple")
hero.toggleFlowers(True)
while True:
    pickUpCoin()
    summonTroops()
    friends = hero.findFriends()
    for friend in friends:
        if friend.type == "soldier":
            # This friend will be assigned to the variable soldier in commandSoldier
            commandSoldier(friend)
        elif friend.type == "archer":
            # Be sure to command your archers.
            commandArcher()
            pass

You’ll be commanding soldiers and archers. Do hero.findByType(“soldier”)

try doing thishero.findByType("soldier", hero.findFriends()) this helps you find the specific type of friend this works for all units

Where should I write that?

I think it says that in the For loop.

Hi CocoCharlie,

Your code is nearly right. A couple of things.

Compare the end of these two lines:
enemy = archer.findNearestEnemy

friends = hero.findFriends()
which is right?

Also compare these lines:
commandSoldier(friend)
commandArcher()
which is right?

I have no idea why it’s not working. I honestly don’t understand the for loops and command stuff very well yet.
