Indicates whether the game client (rather than the player) can see unit.

(String unit)

Details: The game client can see objects (including units) that the server has told it to load (and has not yet told it to unload). The server provides objects in a 100-yard radius, but seems to load them in batches.

This does not check for line-of-sight, only for game client visibility.
