Note:This filter doesn't cause the server to crash as most other filters do if activator entity no longer exists.

Note:If Negated is set to 0 this will always cause OnPass output to fire otherwise always OnFail

One of these will fire when TestActivator input is sent, depending on if the activator is allowed by the filter or not.
