I'm afraid not... YET!

You can either have an array of sectors and test if the player is in that sector (I'm in room xxx).

sector room0-100
for(i=0; i<=100; i=i+1)
{
If(GetThingSector(player)==room0) then...
}

Or, you can use GetSectorLight(sector) (can't see me in rooms with light xxx). Will save on symbol space.

pulse:
sector=GetThingSector(player);
if(GetSectorLight(sector)=xxx) then...

Now, for the enemies not to see you, well... You could use the 'Disable AI' cheat (whiteflag 1). It is the SetDebugModeFlags(0x1); flag.

Hope this helps.

the other option is you can change the Ai to a non agressive AI. (making it much better for situation where 2 enemies can see you but others are left in the dark.) using AiSetClass

note "countsectors" need to be number of sectors in level. i have no idea how to detect this.
pulserate is rate in second to make cog check for player position. Should be 1 i think.
I hope it works ok
