I got it sorted thank you. As you point out, the original code works fine 
(there was a type mismatch with it).

Hi

Are agents and agent different objects? Or it is a typo? Better would be to 
provide some real or fake data by dput or at least result of str(agent) and 
str(agents)

Actually your code shall work in case agent and agents have same length and 
expected order.

agents[which(agent$membership == 1)] <- agents[which(agent$membership == 1)] + 1

For less typing you can do:

sel <- which(agent$membership == 1)
agents[sel] <- agents[sel] + 1

The code can be different if agent or agents are objects like matrix or array. 
Actually from the code xxx$yyy I presume it is data frame or list.

Cheers
Petr
