would it be to hard to make an option to limit the los to an angle cone similar to the weapon aiming cone tag for the fbi's? i was just thinking about how some mods could use limited los to enforce the strategy of 360' security. of course tanks and other such units wouldn need it.

My guess would be moderately easy.

Multiple cones would be even cooler.
Or per-unit los masks

Might be a bit more difficult than that, as usual it's assumed everywhere that LOS is only a scalar value representing radius.
On the positive side it would probably be easy to incorporate this into an overhaul/abstraction of the sensor system.

It was more of "while you're at it, might as well deal with related things as well..."
