Feature request: Zeus visibility indicator viewdistance and group placement
It would be nice if the visibility indicator can also check for the viewdistance of the players (or the ace viewdistance value ace_viewdistance_limitViewDistance if it is server/mission forced)
-
(["ace_viewdistance_limitViewDistance"] call CBA_settings_fnc_priority) in ["server", "mission"] && {_pos distance _eyePos < ace_viewdistance_limitViewDistance}
Also nice would be if the place preview of groups is also considered for the visibility check. So if i place a group with the preview placement activ it should check if all units are visible.

I think getting player view distances would require constantly broadcasting the viewDistance value; which I think we should avoid. Also, using the forced ace_viewdistance value might not always work as there could be other view distance management mods installed overwriting the value.
One option would be to add a "Check Distance" setting that controls the distance at which players are considered. But I am unsure about this as well.
Lastly, the Zeus placement UI is all in-engine and there isn't a straightforward way to get the positions of objects in the placement preview.

Does this mean it's infeasible to have the Zeus visibility indicator only display when the Zeus is placing object(s)?
