I am having a little trouble with my code it says that paladin has no method"canCast" but the paladins had the method in grim determination, so if someone could tell me what I am doing wrong, that would be great.
…
// Fight your way into the Inner Sanctum of the ogre chieftain, and defeat her.
function command(){
var friends = hero.findFriends();
var paladin = hero.findByType(“paladin”);
for(var i = 0; i < friends.length; i += 1){
var friend = friends[i];
var enemy = friend.findNearestEnemy();
if (friend && enemy) {
if (enemy.type == (“catapult”)) {
hero.command(friends[0], “attack”, catapult);
hero.command(friends[1], “attack”, catapult);
}else{
hero.command(friend, “attack”, enemy);
if (hero.health < 2500 && paladin.canCast(“heal”)) {
hero.command(paladin, “cast”, “heal”, hero);
}
}
}
}
}
function summon(){
if (hero.gold > hero.costOf(“soldier”)) {
hero.summon(“soldier”);
}
}

You’re using canCast wrong.

it’s “unit”.canCast(“spell”, target)

Not_a_User · August 10, 2018, 6:20pm

so I would write

"paladin".canCast("heal", hero);

?

SuperSmacker · August 10, 2018, 6:22pm

No quotes. Yeah everything else is fine.

Not_a_User · August 10, 2018, 6:23pm

Thanks I really needed that advice

Not_a_User · August 10, 2018, 6:36pm

wait it didn’t work it just said “try hero.health”

SuperSmacker · August 10, 2018, 6:49pm

Okay I loaded your code and I find several errors at first glance.

#1: catapult isn’t defined. u said "if enemy.type == “catapult” but u never defined what catapult is.

#2: paladin, you defined it as hero.findByType(“paladin”), which will return an array of all living paladins, not 1, which is why the canCast heal won’t work.

Also as a tip, unless your hero is within 3 meters of an enemy, use "hero.move(enemy.pos); ) so you can command your troops more and they won’t just stand there and do nothing.

Also, you have to use flags. Because in the end I see you standing in a corner summoning soldiers. Flags or Twilight Glasses are necessary.

Not_a_User · August 10, 2018, 6:51pm

i use twilight glasses but I will try fixing the other errors

Not_a_User · August 10, 2018, 6:54pm

but how do I define the paladins, do I make another for loop?

SuperSmacker · August 10, 2018, 6:55pm

make another for loop.

Actually, make an entire other function so the code is cleaner

Not_a_User · August 10, 2018, 6:57pm

ok thanks
I will try but I got to eat dinner first.

Not_a_User · August 10, 2018, 7:17pm

well, I tried fixing it, but it showed me another error:

    }
}

It said

SuperSmacker · August 10, 2018, 7:27pm

The catapult is already dead.

To be honest all you have to do to destroy the catapults is to 1. move there, 2. stand there, and 3. move away once the catapult shoots the missile.

Not_a_User · August 10, 2018, 7:36pm

I changed it and it stopped bugging, but my troops died and the tower finished me off.

Remove all the hero.shield() and also change the canCast for chain lightning

Not_a_User · August 11, 2018, 6:17am

ok, but how would I change the canCast?

xython · August 11, 2018, 1:11pm

if ( hero.canCast(“chain-lightning”) )
# and
if ( hero.isReady(“chain-lightning”) )
# are equivalent

if ( hero.canCast("chain-lightning", enemy) )

defines if hero can physically attain the enemy ( you can see the enemy with see-through-wall glasses, but you cannot harm him)

Not_a_User · August 11, 2018, 1:33pm

so you are saying that I put ‘enemy’ after canCast,
I updated the code but my hero died quicker
