Do this - look at the line above it if you’re not sure what it should look like.
# use commandArcher() to command your archers
Do this - it will look similar to the for loop that commands the soldiers. Remember that you need something inside the brackets when you call the commandArcher function.
Have a go at doing these things, post your code again if you need more help.

Well, that’s better, but the actual cause of the infinite loop is here:
Can you see how you’ve called the findStrongestTarget() function inside the findStrongestTarget() function. This is called recursion, where you call a function inside the function itself, but it causes infinite loops if you don’t stop it. (it comes up properly in the Glacier) Anyway, you don’t want to do it here. You should leave it as bestTarget = None, and get rid of the bestTarget = findStrongestTarget()
About the rest of your code, the friendd function is good: it stores the correct value: hero.findByType(“archer”). However, the commanding of the archers isn’t quite right.
You’ve done:
You’re trying to command an entire array of archers with a function which takes a single archer as input. So how do you separate the friendd array into individual archers? Use a for loop.
You can do the exact same thing as you did with the soldiers for loop, but replacing soldiers with friendd and soldier with whatever you want to call your individual archer which you’ll put into your commandArcher() function.

it's working much better now, thanks, but it still isn't done. it want's me to use an actual command instead of "q"
