So I’m trying to use a list to set the order of towers I upgrade however im experiencing this issue any idea to fix

order=["a","b","e","f","g","h","c","d"]
tick=1
#Functions
def upgrade():
    point=order[tick]
    towerLV=hero.getTowerAt(point).level
    towerType=hero.getTowerAt(point).type
    if hero.mana > (towerLV*10)+hero.time:
        hero.build(towerType,point)
        if tick >= 7:
            tick = 0
        else:
            tick += 1

More specifically the thing gives me the error that the input must be a letter

3

what arena is this?

4

Frozen Fortress the tower defence

k, while I try to find the issue, maybe you could try using my code snippet from tips and tricks?

6

also btw why the +hero.time

7

Um that would require me to manually do this snippet for each individual tower
not to mention the editor breaks when the argument is anything but a string

8

wait no this is a different arena one sec

9

well in my head it was to limit the mana spending as the fight went on

10

wait it’s the same arena I’m confusedd

11

why? also lets go to pms

k, also, here, new code:

order=["a","b","e","f","g","h","c","d"]
tick=1
#Functions
def upgrade(t):
    point=order[t]
    towerLV=hero.getTowerAt(point).level
    towerType=hero.getTowerAt(point).type
    if hero.mana > towerLV * 10 + hero.time:
        hero.build(towerType,point)
        if t >= 7:
            return 0
        else:
            return t + 1
while True:
    tick = upgrade(tick)

python is a bit weird with variables so I needed to add an argument to the function instead of using tick directly, and now instead of modifying it in the function (which doesn’t actually modify it btw), you modify it outside by tick = upgrade(tick), so whenever you need to call the function you must do tick = upgrade(tick) unless you want tick to be unchanged
