Double, double toil and trouble my soldiers keep getting burned and cauldron bubble.
Here is my code:

def chooseSoldierTarget():
    enemies = hero.findEnemies()
    enemyIndex = 0
        
    while enemyIndex<len(enemies):
        enemy = enemies[enemyIndex]
        if enemy.type == 'witch':
            while enemy.health > 0:
                hero.command(friend, "attack", enemy)
        enemyIndex+=1


while True:
    friends = hero.findFriends()
    for friend in friends:
        # Use your chooseTarget function to decide what to attack.
        if friend.type == "soldier":
            
            chooseSoldierTarget()
        pass

you have to command your archers to attack the nearest enemy

#3

Yea, but the soldier code des not work.

#4

you should command the soldiers inside the chooseTarget function
and for the witch you could try
witch = friend.findNearest(friend.findByType("witch"))

#5

Instead of putting this in the while loop
command the soldiers in the function
P.S you should also command the archers in that function
make the archers attack the nearest enemy

#6

# Define a chooseTarget function which takes a friend argument
# Returns the a target to attack, depending on the type of friend.

def chooseSoldierTarget():
    if friend.type == "soldier":
        enemies = hero.findEnemies()
        enemyIndex = 0
        while enemyIndex<len(enemies):
            enemy = enemies[enemyIndex]
            witch = hero.findNearest(hero.findByType("witch"))
            if enemy.type == witch:
                while enemy.health > 0:
                    hero.command(friend, "attack", enemy)
            enemyIndex+=1


while True:
    friends = hero.findFriends()
    for friend in friends:
        # Use your chooseTarget function to decide what to attack.
        chooseSoldierTarget()
        pass

shouldnt you be using a for loop to command the soldiers???

#18

Were? I thought I was

#19

you should use a for loop in the function to command your soldiers

#20

It tells me that that is illegal
