Description[edit | edit source]

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

Uses[edit | edit source]

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.
