Description

Filters the input entity and if it matches all specified filters, the instruction will proceed through the top pin.

Uses

If used in conjunction with Loop Entities (Range), this instruction can be used to verify if a given entity matches filters in the same manner as a radar. This may be faster due to radar requiring game ticks to operate.
