I am sorry, but I am not good at writing in a fancy format in Byond forum.

This will be very helpful especially for lighting system because if I make a lighting effect has `ignores_mob_sightings = IGNORE_SIGHT`, the lighting will be rendered regardless you can see the light source loc or not.

The sight flags you mentioned aren't really doable, I'm afraid. I don't think it'd be possible to do IGNORE_SIGHT, and IGNORE_BLIND is a definite no.

IGNORE_INVISIBILITY won't work in vis_flags because invisibility is handed at a much less granular level. If the parent object is invisible, the routines that handle filling icons for its appearance and visual contents never get called at all.
