Summits Gate Warlock reviving friends issue

Level Help
1

In Summit’s Gate. I get to the Warlocks which I’m trying to kill with my Griffins.
I do a findFriends to get an array of my Griffins to loop through to attack the Warlocks.
I think what is happening is that one of my griffins is being killed, then resurrected on the warlock side and so when I try and command it to attack the Warlocks an error is thrown (in commandGriffin function)

Does anyone have any ideas about this please?

In the screenshot below Christofide is one of my griffin-riders

Hello! I’m afraid this topic will be closed because you have already made another topic about Summit’s Gate. Making 2 topics won’t make help faster.
You can tell about this issue in

your topic that was made before and people will be glad to help.

About the level:
I think you have an error because warlocks first killed your griffin-rider and then revived it and started commanding it.
Try to write if enemy.type == "warlock" and griffin.team == "humans":, instead of that if.
Good luck in the level!

I’m not trying to make it quicker the 2 topics are regarding different issues.

One is about how to debug an infinite loop and one is regarding looping through an array of ‘friends’ when one of them has been converted into an enemy.

To close down my posts because they happen to be on the same stage doesn’t make sense.

I’m not expecting one post to get me to the end of the stage.

I don’t understand why you have decided that one of them should be shut down.

when I’m picking griffins I’m already choosing only friendly ones by.

griffins=hero.findByType(“griffin-rider”, hero.findFriends())

using the hero.findFriends() unit parameter so I’m not sure why checking the griffin is on the human side will help as it should already be on the human side.

One tip that I have: You cannot kill warlocks no matter how hard you try

That’s going to make the whole finishing the level a bit tricky

I think in this level you have to kill them to complete the level with all rewards. I think the best strategy for killing warlocks is to overwhelm them with griffin riders as the attack from a distance with quite high damage. On this level by the time I get to the warlocks I have been summoning quite a lot of griffin riders so that will hopefully be enough
