Heres my code:

For some reason I lose and it says Try hero.findNearestEnemy() on line 44. Can someone please help me?
Btw line 44 is nearest = archer.findNearestEnemy()
The problem is in your âwhile trueâ block. You did identify and iterate your soldiers, but what about the archers? It is throwing that error because it does not know what âarcherâ is, on line 44.
I identified my archers, but how do I itinerate through them? Heres my new code:
# Hushbaum has been ambushed by ogres!
# She is busy healing her soldiers, you should command them to fight!
# The ogres will send more troops if they think they can get to Hushbaum or your archers, so keep them inside the circle!

The same way you did your soldiers.
Ok, now Iâm really confused because I did that but now it says Line 46: ReferenceError: bestTarget is not defined even though I literally just defined it in the function right above it.

Ok, in your findStrongestHealth definition, where you have:
if enemy.health > strongestHealth:
where is strongestHealth declared, or defined?
Oh, I see what you mean now. HmmâŚ
I donât know what to do, but in case someone can help me, hereâs my code:
# Hushbaum has been ambushed by ogres!

If someone could just tell me the answer that would be great because Iâve been on this levelfor about two weeks and cannot get past it. It is really frustrating.
Sorry, thatâs not what weâre here for. We will help, guide and teach, but we wonât just give a solution.
So, your previous problem still existsâŚyou have âif enemy.health > strongestHealth:â. Even though the comments guide you to use âstrongestHealthâ, this is not defined anywhere in your code. Instead, you have defined the variable as âmostHealthââŚtry using this one instead.
Still doesnât work. What else can I do?
Why is it not working?..any errors, or are soldiers dieing? If your soldiers get below a certain health, have them defend a spot close to HushbaumâŚshe will heal them and they can then move back in to position.
Iâm not getting any errors but I will try to make them move back.
Well here is my new definition of commandSoldiers:
def commandSoldier(soldier, soldierIndex, numSoldiers):
angle = Math.PI * 2 * soldierIndex / numSoldiers
defendPos = {"x": 41, "y": 40}
defendPos.x += 10 * Math.cos(angle)
defendPos.y += 10 * Math.sin(angle)
if soldier.health > 60:
hero.command(soldier, "defend", defendPos);
else:
hero.command(soldier, "defend", {"x": 41, "y": 40})
But it didnât do anything different so is there something I did wrong?
Well, that looks almost perfectâŚthe only difference is I have âxâ: 42, rather than 41 and I donât think that is a problem. Try it tho, just in case.
I used a different method to iterate, but otherwise your code looks pretty solid. If that change does not resolve, post your code again, and Iâll try running it to see if I can find the issue.
Do you press [RUN] buttom or [SUBMIT] button?
Both. It doesnât work and I have resubmitted about 20 times.
Now it says Line 51: Reference Error: bestTarget is not defined
# Hushbaum has been ambushed by ogres!

I changed this problem line and your code worked fine.
if bestTarget and bestTarget.health > 15:
hero.command(archer, "attack", archerTarget)
archerTarget defined by function, as instructions says.
# Set archerTarget to be the target that is returned by findStrongestTarget()
archerTarget = findStrongestTarget()
So, try to change line â51 with target your archer attacks in line â52.
