Description

The long-range analyzer we got from beebase doesn't appear to have any range or los checks, and hence can be used through walls and security cameras.

Research direction
Investigate the long range analyzer code in the DM files for NSV13. Look for existing range and line of sight checks in similar items or weapons. Implement checks using DM's get dist() or los functions. Consider referencing how other analyzer type items handle range and LOS.
