What you can do is use the Layer Object to reverse all the objects when you click, then select the correct one, then reverse them back.

It'll be something like this:

- User Clicks on Active Object
+ run this event once

> [Layer Object] Reverse All
> [Active Object] Set Flag on (or whatever)
> [Some Other Object] Set another Flag on


- Some Other Object Flag is on

> [Layer Object] Reverse All

Remember to pay attention to the order of conditions (it's important), and as you already figured out, don't use the "Player clicks on object" condition.

+ Mouse pointer is over Object
+ Player clicks left mouse button
+ Select Object: Select frontmost Object
-> Object: Do stuff...


Alternatively, the really inelegant way of doing it without extensions (and this only works if you haven't re-ordered them at runtime), would be something like this:

+ Mouse pointer is over Object
+ Player clicks left mouse button
-> Object: Spread value 0 in Alt.Val.A

+ Mouse pointer is over Object
+ Player clicks left mouse button
+ Alt.Val.A of Object = 0
-> Object: Do stuff...
