Delete this if. Item will be a potion.

Instead of “potion” put item

Read comments

```python
// Find and fetch a "potion":
        var potion = pet.findNearestByType("potion"); # There are other items too
        if (item.type==="potion") { # Why did you put three equals？
        pet.fetch("potion"); # Put potion instead, if you use a string
# then why did you define potion (item)

```

screen.setup(400, 400)
screen.bgcolor('dodge blue')

@Ksensei - as @AnSeDra says can you post all your code for the level? That way we can try running it and see where the problem is.

        if (enemy && pet.isReady("chase")) {
            pet.chase(enemy);
        }
        // Find and fetch a "potion":

        pet.fetch("potion");
    }
}

Instead of **“potion”** put **nearest**. Does it work now?

Do this, and check _ **whether** _ there’s a potion. What if there isn’t one? What will happen then?

when there was “nearest” instead of " “potion” " couger actually did go for the potions BUT it went for the second potion as well without waiting for cooldown of chase thus he braught both potions but 1 ogre stayed,  
code works fully after i moved in the loop  
_code solution deleted_

i understand the logic here of the loop, I just try to follow instructions in their order unless i dont make it work i improvise, i would have expected for “fetch(“potion”)” to work tho, potion is a constant the game recognizes, doesnt it?

“potion” is a string (text in quotes), a type of item. You want to target an object. A thing in the game, like a friend, and enemy or an item. The object’s name doesn’t represent it exactly.  
Earlier you were able to attack a specific enemy e.g. hero.attack(“Kronk”), “potion” isn’t a specific thing, unlike “Kronk”.
