Help with calling a function - IDEA Silver award

Hello. I'm trying to complete the IDEA Silver award and I'm stuck on the Maker Activation part 2 section. I can't wrap my head around how to "call a function". This is the code I have:

initiate();
function lifeSupportCheck() {

}

The website tells me to "call the lifeSupportCheck() function". Can anyone help me?

I just did this badge and am now stuck on the next bit!

You simply add underneath:

initiate(lifeSupportCheck);

Ughh thanks this is so hard.. I managed to complete the silver award by finishing everything else though. Give it a try; in the end I didnt even have to complete maker part 2: I still got to 400 points

Luckyyyy. I would happily complete everything else, but for some reason there's 4 buttons that aren't working at the end of the 3rd Worker badge...

When you get to the bit where you have to filter your emails down and then complete the last jobs in your inbox, the filter buttons won't work, I can't click on them, they do nothing. Else I'd have fifty points and no headache! I've emailed them about it.

Did it on Chrome, not sure if it's the site or me that's stopping it from working.

I did it on Safari from my Macbook... it worked. If you think its chrome and you’re using a windows pc then you probably have microsoft edge with windows 10. Try it on that.

Right, you do this;

initiate()
function lifeSupportCheck(){

}
lifeSupportCheck()

Thnx for this

var rooms = [bridge,lab,canteen,cabin,storage]

initiate();

function lifeSupportCheck() {
for (i=0;i<rooms.length;i++) {

}
}

lifeSupportCheck()

Can someone please help me with this

Hi, not to give too much away, but if you restart the section and read every detail of the information it actually gives you the answer

I need help with the third section of this, I looped through soundBlocks, called playSound and passed the correct sound, but it still doesn't work. Here is my code:for (i=0;i<movementBlocks.length;i ) {doMovement(movementBlocks)}var soundBlocks = [crash,happyBeep,whistle];for (i=0;i<soundBlocks.length;i ) {playSound(SoundBlocks)}

do you need to do the + after the i in the loop?

OK I JUST GOT IT. The code is basically the movement one but repeated so it looks like this
for (i=0;i<movementBlocks.length;i++){
do movement(movementBlocks)
}
var soundBlocks = [crash, happyBeep, whistle];
for (i=0;i<soundBlocks.length;i++){
playSound(soundBlocks)
}

I think that's what it did, its basically the first loop but with the sound blocks function subbed in instead. If you need help, then look at the hints, copy out those commands then lay them out in the same format as the part you're given
