Sparky's collision DLL does that already.

You can find it in the "Program Announcements" board. (If you can't find the thread, look into the stickied thread for a list of useful TPC plugins.

It's the programmer's life:
Have a problem, solve the problem, and have a new problem to solve.

The thing is, static line of sight lets you specify a radius. It actually works by raycasting a series of intersections to determine if there is a line of sight within that radius. It's not a very good command. Using Sparky's raycasting instead would be faster, give you more control, and more predictable results.

@Static line of sight -
Why is your name "Static line of sight"? That name doesn't seem very useful. And, this board is not for requesting code and especially not for requesting DLLs. This thread will be locked shortly. I see you already posted this in the DBP board, you shouldn't spam the forum.
