I made a cog that uses FirstThingInView(); and StopThing(); to search for a thing and stop it. The only problem is I don't want something to be able to be targeted after it has been stopped. Can I somehow change the thing's flags so that FirstThingInView does not see it? Or is there another alternative?

Is this for what I think it is?

You can use NextThingInView(); after using FirstThingInView(); and I'm pretty sure it won't identify the thing stopped the first time.

If that doesn't work try this...

SetThingType(target, 9);

Type values dont seem to be sync'd over JK network so even though you would see them
as type 9 and would be unable to target them using 0x400, the other person would still see themselves as type 10 and be unaffected.
I have no idea what effect this would have on AI actors though.

If(found & GetThingUserData(victim) == 0) SetThingUserData(victim, 1);

*slaps forehead*
SetThingType();! Of course!
Thanks

SetThingType will leave side effect on other cogs, if the cog checks for thing types.
