I need help with taunting because my character keeps running into the explosive traps and it keeps doing it repeatedly so I am stuck.

```python
def dealEnemy(enemy):
# If enemy.type is “munchkin”:
    if enemy.type == “munchkin”:
# Then attack it:
hero.attack(enemy)
# If the enemy’s type is “brawler”:
     if enemy.type == “brawler”:
# Then say something to call the brawler:
hero.say(“I dont think so brawler”)
pass
    while True:
        enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy()
    if enemy:
      dealEnemy(enemy)
    else:
        hero.moveXY(30, 34)`

```

I can help you now, but please do not create 1000 topics from level helps that are back to back, thanks.

I dont think you should define „dealEnemy“.  
You should just do:

```python
While True:
    Enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy
    If enemy and enemy.type == munchkin:
........

```

You know the rest 😄

</div>

The next „else“ to the „if„ should be: `elif enemy.type == brawler`  
elif stands for else-if

Okay but now he does not attack anything even though I put `hero.attack(enemy)`.

Ok, you have if enemy, but you should not put cleave. Also instead of „if“ you should put: `Elif enemy and enemy.type == brawler`

When I put `hero.attack(enemy)` my hero does not attack at all

Indents, indents, indents… it’ll bug you every time. Indent 4 spaces by hero.attack enemy and delete the cleave thing.

And dont put the elif statement in brackets. Delete the findNearestEnemy above the elif aswell, as you defined this at the top of your code
