So i was tinkering on this level a bit until i find a way to fix the level that doesn’t let me load and i decided to play this level. I can easily do one or two tasks but im trying to get the other bonus but i ran into a problem that i dont understand.  
Here is the code, i know it can be improved a bit but i just want to know whats causing this error i will give screenshots with the code and I will place it in text:

You can see the error that its giving me, now here is the code in text:

```python
while true do
    local target = hero:findNearestEnemy()
    
if target and hero:canCast("chain-lightning", target) then
    hero:cast("chain-lightning", target)
    
    elseif target and target.type == "scout" or target.type == "ogre" or target.type == "catapult" and hero:canCast("lightning-bolt", target) then
        hero:cast("lightning-bolt", target)
    elseif target then
        hero:attack(target)
    
end

end

```

you don’t need to add the target in `hero:canCast()`.

The `if` for `canCast()` is not in the loop

The _**if target and hero:canCast(“chain-lightning”, target)**_ is in the loop between _ **do -\> end** _  
**_if hero.canCast(“chain-lightning”):_**  
**_if hero.isReady(“chain-lightning”):_**  
are equivalent  
_ **chain-lightning** _ is a weapon of mass destruction and somehow must be ensured we target only living beings…
