# ignoreTarget

*Command · Object Detection · Arma 3 v2.18*

Locality: arguments **global**

## Description

Sets a target to be ignored by this Group. It will not appear in [nearTargets](../commands/nearTargets.md) and the group will not notice its presence. [targetKnowledge](../commands/targetKnowledge.md) can be used to check if a target is currently ignored. While a unit is ignored, [reveal](../commands/reveal.md) has no effect.

```sqf
group ignoreTarget target
```

**Parameters:**

- `group` : [Object](../topics/Object.md) or [Group](../topics/Group.md) - which receives revealing information
- `target`: [Object](../topics/Object.md) - which would be ignored

**Returns:** [Nothing](../topics/Nothing.md)

### Syntax 2

```sqf
group ignoreTarget [target, isIgnored]
```

**Parameters:**

- `group` : [Object](../topics/Object.md) or [Group](../topics/Group.md) - which receives revealing information
- `target`: [Object](../topics/Object.md) - which would be ignored
- `isIgnored`: [Boolean](../topics/Boolean.md) - whether the target should be ignored

**Returns:** [Nothing](../topics/Nothing.md)
