Simple question about plagues

I am making a cog that replaces force grip with a plague that takes some health from everyone in the level, but the problem is that I don't know the command for that, what I am saying is I want to eliminate the targeting reticule and simply effect everybody in the level.

the command I am looking for would be simular to this:

victim = FirstThingInView

and the actual effect I want would be

victim = EveryoneInLevel

Now what i believe is EveryoneInLevel is just jibberish and I need a script that actually exists! please if you know, tell me that script!

Here:

Code:

symbols
thing player
int damage=10
int inLevel
int go=0
message startup
message activated
message deactivated
message killed
end

startup:
player=GetLocalPlayerThing();

activated:
go=1;
inLevel=GetThingCount();
for(i>=0; i<=inLevel; i=i+1)
{
if(go==1)
   {
   victim=i;
   if(GetThingFlags(victim) & 0x400)
      {
      DamageThing(victim, damage, 0x8, player); 
      }
   }
}

deactivated:
call stop_power;

killed:
call stop_power;

stop_power:
go=0;
end

I haven't tested it, and it isn't as full featured as it could be. You will most likely need to revise and add, as I am doing it off the top of my head.
