I still have no strong opinions for or against this pull request, but it does have things that need to be changed like also not trying to arrest things with a high enough invisibility var

todo:

  • fix the existing is_visible() proc to not be retarded (seperate PR)
  • use is_visible() proc in this PR
  • make secbots have an upgrade to go after invisible people

馃啈

  • tweak: Beepsky no longer arrests people that are invisible via alpha var

I like my idea of moving invisible arresting ability to an upgrade involving t-ray scanners but I don't know if anyone else does.
In justification of invisible arresting other than "its fun," it is also something that keeps invisible wizards/traitors from being god like. Other counters include the t-ray/p-ray scanner lines, water, thermals(?), mouse-over text, blind firing in the halls, and possibly HuDs such as sec and med if that hasn't been fixed yet.

HE'S A LOOSE CANNON, BUT HE IS STILL THE BEST OFFICER ON THIS GOD FORSAKEN STATION.

I would be in support of being able to add a t-ray scanner upgrade to let beepsky keep his ability to show JUSTICE to invisible perps.

Beepsky tug of war where sneaky coders pull out the most insidious tactics

Also there isn't much of counter play to invisible antagonists.

Getting close enough to a wizard with a cloak to see them with a t-ray scanner is a death sentence. And the CE isn't going to receive a weapon to help hunt until it's too late. Seriously, even though I am a head, it's like pulling teeth to get a laser gun for carp.

Can't be a main something when you don't play. Checkmate, vox metaclub leader.

Invisible hazards/threats are dumb and there need to be a way to deal with them
Beepsky was reasonable enough
