You could do a container search then do a LOS check on each of them and if you dont know how to put things in an array you probably shouldnt be asking that question

I dont know how many bots you plan on having, but I highly doubt it will be so many that this method becomes cpu intensive.

No matter what you do you will have to do a LOS check for each bot. The only way around it is to do a 2D vector test to see if they are in your FOV before you do a LOS test. Other then that you aren't going to get a whole lot more optomization out of it. I would also write all your AI in script... And migrate it over to the engine after you got it working exactly the way you want it.
