Alter units' LoS depending on on/off state

Would it be possible to, for instance, make it so that when a radar tower is turned off it gives 1/10 of its regular LoS? Or how about a unit that only gives long-range LoS after it's been stationary for several seconds, allowing for a little animation to finish of a mini tower being raised from its roof. The possibilities are interesting.

A multiplier value would do fine.

Controlling LoS through the script would be a more powerful and generalised solution.

e.g. for a sniper script, you could increase the LOS only when aiming to simulate the scope

No it wouldn't. You misunderstand my premise.

trying to fix the exploit where people build a radar tower and turn it off?

Correct. But I've got other things in mind too.
