This is my code

```python
points = [{"x": 33, "y": 42},
          {"x": 47, "y": 42},
          {"x": 33, "y": 26},
          {"x": 47, "y": 26}]

while True:
    item = hero.findNearestItem()
    if item and hero.gold < 80:
        hero.move(item.pos)
    elif hero.gold >= 80:
        hero.moveXY(40, 25)
for i in range(4):
    hero.summon("soldier")
    
while True:
    friends = hero.findFriends()
    for j in range(len(friends)):
        point = points[j]
        friend = friends[j]
        enemy = friend.findNearestEnemy()
        if enemy and enemy.team == "ogres" and friend.distanceTo(enemy) < 5:
            
            hero.command(friend, "attack", target)
            pass
            
        else:
            
            hero.command(friend, point, enemy)
            pass
            
            

```

That helped. And I summon soldiers now, but I don’t command them. Since for-loops are like while loops I tried to is break, but it only summoned one soldier, What if statment could help with that?

```python
for i in range(4):
    hero.summon("soldier")
    if blahblahblah:
        break  

```

I wish there was soldier.amount, then I could do  
If soldier.amount == 4:  
break.

My problem is in here now,

```python
while True:
    friends = hero.findFriends()
    for j in range(len(friends)):
        point = points[j]
        friend = friends[j]
        enemy = friend.findNearestEnemy()
        if enemy and enemy.team == "ogres" and friend.distanceTo(enemy) < 5:
            hero.command(friend, "attack", enemy)
            pass
            
        else:
            hero.command(friend, "move", points[].pos)
            pass
            

```

this should just be `hero.command(friend, "move", point)`

You don’t need the if statement or the break.

> [@hellodaddy](#):
>
> `hero.command(friend, "move", points[].pos)`

That should be `hero.command(friend, "move", point)` (if you define point as points[j]) or `hero.command(friend, "move", points[j])`
