The Two Flowers Error message (Python)[SOLVED]

[Psyko2k]

hi, could somone explain why i’m getting this error?
it says hero placeholder cant command type “peasant”. But im not commanding a peasant, im commanding a soldier.

here is the code and a screenshot.

# If the peasant is damaged, the flowers will shrink!

def summonSoldiers():
    if hero.gold >= hero.costOf("soldier"):
        hero.summon("soldier")

# Define the function: commandSoldiers
def commandSoldiers():
    for soldier in hero.findFriends():
        enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy()
        if enemy:
            hero.command(soldier, "attack", enemy)
# Define the function: pickUpNearestCoin
def pickUpNearestCoin():
    items = hero.findItems()
    nearestCoin = hero.findNearestItem()
    if nearestCoin:
        hero.move(nearestCoin.pos)
            

while True:
    summonSoldiers()
    commandSoldiers()
    pickUpNearestCoin()

@Psyko2k

   for soldier in hero.findFriends():
        enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy()
        if enemy:
            hero.command(soldier, "attack", enemy)

the problem is you haven’t said you were commanding soldiers so the system doesn’t know.

hey eric, thanks for the response.
i thought i was by putting for for soldier in hero.findFriends():
doesnt for soldier define the soldier?

[Eric_Tang]

No it doesn’t. Because you have a array of all your friends and all your doing is making a variable for all your friends. You need to do a

if soldier.type == "soldier":
