Is Hector not your friend as well? I think he is, and he cannot be commanded – that’s your error. (hero.findByType("sold…))

maybe you can do

```python
def commandSoldiers():
     soldiers = hero.findByType("soldier")
     for soldier in soldiers:

```

and then command them to attack

My new code:

```python
# If the peasant is damaged, the flowers will shrink!

def summonSoldiers():
    if hero.gold >= hero.costOf("soldier"):
        hero.summon("soldier")

# Define the function: commandSoldiers
def commandSoldiers():
    soldiers = hero.findByType("soldier")
    for soldier in soldiers():
        enemy = soldier.findNearestEnemy()
        soldiers = hero.findByType("soldier")
        if enemy:
            hero.command(soldier, "attack", enemy)

# This function commands your soldiers to attack their nearest enemy.
# Define the function: pickUpNearestCoin
def pickUpNearestCoin():
    items = hero.findItems()
    nearestCoin = hero.findNearest(items)
    if nearestCoin:
        hero.move(nearestCoin.pos)

while True:
    summonSoldiers()
    # commandSoldiers()
    # pickUpNearestCoin()
    commandSoldiers()
    pickUpNearestCoin()

```

It says “soldiers is not a function”

```

No, I’m pretty sure you need that to define “soldiers”

</div>

ok im pretty sure i found the issue so you do need this

```python
enemy = soldier.findNearestEnemy()

```

(sorry about that) in line 8 then you need to add

```python
if enemy:

```

```python
and soldier.type == "soldier"

```

ok? edit: you need to combine the two on the same line does it work now?

should be

```python

    soldiers = hero.findByType("soldier")
    for soldier in soldiers:
        friends = hero.findFriends()
        enemy = soldier.findNearestEnemy()
        if enemy:

```

I did that and it worked fine.
