Level Help

im stuck on computer science 5 level 6 “Mixed unit tactics”. my units attack and my hero moves but it wont spawn any more units. my hero spawns one then he just collects coins.

var summonTypes = ['archer','archer','soldier','soldier'];
var defendPoints = [{x: 40, y: 42},{x: 40, y: 26},{x: 40, y: 38},{x: 40, y: 33}];

function getCoins() {
    while (true){
        var coins = hero.findItems();
        var coinIndex = 0;
        var coin = coins[coinIndex];
            if (coin) {
                hero.move(coin.pos);
        }
    }
}
function summonTroops() {
    var type = summonTypes[hero.built.length % summonTypes.length];
        if(hero.gold >= hero.costOf(type)) {
            hero.summon(type);
        }
}

function commandTroops() {
    var friends = hero.findFriends();
    for(var friendIndex=0; friendIndex < friends.length; friendIndex++) {
        var friend = friends[friendIndex];
        var point = defendPoints[friendIndex % defendPoints.length];
            if (friend.type == "archer"){
                hero.command(friend, "defend", point);
            }
    }
}

while(true){
    summonTroops();
    commandTroops();
    getCoins();
}

While (True)
makes an infinite loop.

avoid while loops as much as you can
good luck
