Hello,
you can also use templating to accomplish that:
# Template
define host{
    use           generic_host
    name          no_ping_host
    check_command check_tcp
    register      0
}

# host
define host{
    use           no_ping_host
    [...]
}

this should also do the job.
Regards,
Stefan
