[SOLVED] Help! Make Advances

Level Help

My code 
# Advance through the forgotten tomb.
# Be wary, traps lay in wait to ruin your day!
# The Paladins volunteer to lead the way.
# Command them to shield against incoming projectiles.
while True:
    friends = hero.findFriends()
    # findEnemyMissiles finds all dangerous projectiles.
    projectiles = hero.findEnemyMissiles()
    for friend in friends:
        if friend.type is "paladin":
            # Find the projectile nearest to the friend:
            nearestProjectile = hero.findNearest(projectiles)
            # If the projectile exists
            if nearestProjectile:
                if friend.distanceTo(nearestProjectile) < 11:
                    hero.command(friend, "shield", friend)
            # AND is closer than 10 meters to the paladin:
            # Command the friend to "shield"
            # ELSE, when there is no potential danger:
            else:
                # Advance the paladin:
                hero.command(friend, "moveXY", {friend.pos.x + 10, friend.pos.y})
            pass
        else:
            # If not a paladin, just advance:
            hero.command(friend, "moveXY", {friend.pos.x + 10, friend.pos.y})
        pass
    # Advance the hero in the x direction:
    hero.moveXY(hero.pos.x + 10, hero.pos.y)
Error

None, but only my middle paladin moves and shields.

# Find the projectile nearest to the friend:
            nearestProjectile = hero.findNearest(projectiles)

It might be here…

Try to change condition, merge 2 of them into 1, like.
if nearestProjectile and friend.distanceTo(nearestProjectile) < 10:

And friend.move command looks like hero.command(friend, "move",{"x":friend.pos.x + 10,"y": friend.pos.y})

You are finding the nearest projectile towards you, so that will always be the middle projectiles, therefore only the middle paladin can shield from the middle projectiles. Don’t find the nearest projectile loop over all the projectiles.

Now the paladins all move, but they don’t shield.

# Advance through the forgotten tomb.
# Be wary, traps lay in wait to ruin your day!
# The Paladins volunteer to lead the way.
# Command them to shield against incoming projectiles.
while True:
    friends = hero.findFriends()
    # findEnemyMissiles finds all dangerous projectiles.
    projectiles = hero.findEnemyMissiles()
    for friend in friends:
        if friend.type is "paladin":
            # Find the projectile nearest to the friend:
            nearestProjectile = friend.findNearest(projectiles)
            # If the projectile exists
            if nearestProjectile and friend.distanceTo        (nearestProjectile) < 10:
                hero.command(friend, "shield", friend)
            # AND is closer than 10 meters to the paladin:
            # Command the friend to "shield"
            # ELSE, when there is no potential danger:
            else:
                # Advance the paladin:
                hero.command(friend, "move", {'x':friend.pos.x + 10,'y': friend.pos.y})
            pass
        else:
            # If not a paladin, just advance:
            hero.command(friend, "move", {'x':friend.pos.x + 10,'y': friend.pos.y})
        pass
    # Advance the hero in the x direction:
    hero.moveXY(hero.pos.x + 10, hero.pos.y)

in the command friend sheield part im pretty sure you only need hero.command(friend, shield)
in stead of

10

Nope, still doesn’t shield.
Lydia

11

try this instead i had a small typo
hero.command(friend, “shield”)

12

Well I changed the numbers for paladins and hero and non-paladins allies destination and complete the level (one of paladins dies anyway though).
I put 8 instead of 10 for paladins and 5 for hero.
I target other allies to 31,45.

13

Yes, it still doesn’t work.
Lydia

14

hmm try turning it to this:
hero.command(friend, “shield”, self)

15

Thanks Alexbrand! I completed it!
But doesn’t this seem a bit strange to you? image

Mine shields, but in a strange manner…

Yes, its strange. Maybe there is something about speed.

@cheddarcheese No, hero.command(friend,"shield") is OK.

I looked other solutions and as far as I see nobody uses default code guideline completely.
