GetClosestObjectOfType causes non-networked object to become networked

[draobrehtom]

What happened?

After calling the native function GetClosestObjectOfType on a non-networked object, the object unexpectedly becomes networked.

Expected result

The object should remain non-networked unless NetworkRegisterEntityAsNetworked is explicitly called.

Reproduction steps

1. Use the following script to test the behavior:

-- client.lua
RegisterCommand('test', function()
    local hash = `p_watertower_sm_03_base`
    local coords = GetEntityCoords(PlayerPedId())
    RequestModel(hash)
    while not HasModelLoaded(hash) do
        Wait(0)
    end
    local object = CreateObjectNoOffset(hash, coords.x + 2.0, coords.y, coords.z)
    while not DoesEntityExist(object) do
        Wait(0)
    end
    Wait(1000)
    
    while not NetworkGetEntityIsNetworked(object) do
        Wait(0)
        GetClosestObjectOfType(coords.x, coords.y, coords.z, 10.0, hash)
    end
    DeleteEntity(object)
end)

2. In the game, type /test.
3. Confirm that the object is created.
4. Wait 1 second. If the object is deleted after the delay, the bug has been reproduced.

The last parameter (networkObject) needs to be false to avoid having the object registered as a network object.

e.g. GetClosestObjectOfType(coords.x, coords.y, coords.z, 10.0, hash, false, false, false)

[draobrehtom]

GetClosestObjectOfType(coords.x, coords.y, coords.z, 10.0, hash, false, false, false)

The problem still occurs as before even with additional parameterization.
