Add render_player and render_to_forces to other entities

Post by CmdrKeen »

I'm looking to implement line of sight for a combat related mod, and I would like to have render_player and render_to_forces added to LuaPlayer, LuaCar, and LuaUnit in order to do so.

Bonus points for adding alpha level (per force) to implement cloaking equipment.

I also have a usecase during a cutscene where i need to hide the character entity. Currently i'm working around it by teleporting it off-screen (though obviously @OP can't do that).
