Visibility effects how well AI can see you.
Chrono:
Have the bot look for lights in dark maps and if there's any players within the light's radius, the player is spotted.

No, shutup.
You can just use the level's lighting.
Also, just radius search for bricks with lights and check to see if you have a light on.

Seems nice, although I feel kind of iffy about having to set up a cycling radius search for every light like that.

I only said that because some people make maps and set the default light differently... meh, never mind that part.

If you feel uncomfortable with plenty of radius searches (I've used plenty in the past without too many problems), you could instead cycle through the list of clients and check the distance between their player's position and the light. The problem with this is that bots wont see other bots.

Meh, they could if you also made a bot search.
Off Topic: HEY, I got my own AI problem. I've been too lazy to figure out how to make bots orbit players in a perfect circle. For years, to make them orbit, I'd just make them stop at four points around the player.
