Sarven Shepherd (Python) Stuck and Need Help Solving!

1

Hey Folks,

I’ve been stuck on this for a while and tried changing it up… but I still can’t get my character to move at all.

Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks!

# Use while loops to pick out the ogre

while True:
    enemies = hero.findEnemies()
    enemyIndex = 0

    # Wrap this logic in a while loop to attack all enemies.
    # Find the array's length with:  len(enemies)
while enemyIndex < len(enemies):
    enemy = enemies[enemyIndex]
    # "!=" means "not equal to."
    if enemy.type != "sand-yak":
        # While the enemy's health is greater than 0, attack it!
        while enemy.health > 0:
            hero.attack(enemy)
        pass

    # Between waves, move back to the center.
    hero.moveXY(40, 33)

Please use backticks (above the tab button on the keyboard) to format your code, or highlight it and press the < / > button. Alternatively, you could take a screenshot and press the Upload button on a post.
(checking this level / your code right now to see if I can find the problem)

No problem! Easy mistake to make.

The reason that nothing is happening is because your second while loop isn’t inside your while True. So basically, highlight everything starting with while enemyIndex < len(enemies), and then press the tab button to give it another indentation.

Edit: except make sure you keep hero.moveXY(40, 33) with only four spaces before it.

EDIT***

HA! Thanks! You solved my problem!

In addition, to anyone else who might be looking at this… I also forgot to put enemyIndex += 1 at the bottom… so it kinda looked like this…

    # Wrap this logic in a while loop to attack all enemies.
    # Find the array's length with:  len(enemies)
    while enemyIndex < len(enemies):
        enemy = enemies[enemyIndex]
        # "!=" means "not equal to."
        if enemy.type != "sand-yak":
            # While the enemy's health is greater than 0, attack it!
            while enemy.health > 0:
                hero.attack(enemy)
        enemyIndex += 1
        pass

much thanks to taylerzy for the tip!

Great!

Might want to edit out you code, though. They don’t allow completed code on here, as it takes some of the fun out of it.

I need help this is my code

while True:
    enemies = hero.findEnemies()
    enemyIndex = 0
    enemies = hero.findNearestEnemy()

     # Wrap this logic in a while loop to attack all enemies.
    # Find the array's length with:  len(enemies)
while True:
    while enemyIndex < len(enemies):
        enemy = enemies[enemyIndex]
        # "!=" means "not equal to."
        if enemy.type != "sand-yak":
            # While the enemy's health is greater than 0, attack it!
            while enemy.health > 0:
                hero.attack(enemy)
        enemyIndex += 1
        pass
                
# Between waves, move back to the center.
hero.moveXY(40, 33)

my hero is not moving

Try putting the moveXY in the while true loop
