I can't find a way to scan all the entities in a given range and turn their certain flags on if detected. The problem with c_scan is that it always return when detected the first nearest entity and wouldn't continue scanning for others??? What is the solution for this problem please?

I don't want to go through all the entities in my level to find who is in the range i am already using cpu power with c_scan.

The solution is (like almost always) included in the manual below the instruction, you just have to use ENABLE/EVENT_SCAN and event.
