Stuck Arrow Filter

[[object Object]]

This hex iterates over all nearby arrows that aren't (or are, with one change) stuck in a block. Uses meta-eval levels equal to the number of non-item, non-living, non-wisp entities within range (which needs to be 1 block less than the available ambit, so the block the arrow is stuck to can be raycasted). As written, the hex just reveals all non-stuck arrows, but you can add whatever code you want at the commented location. Thanks to Argitechno on Discord for the idea for the mechanism behind this. Uses Conditional Continue as a macro. I recommend using Locator's Scalpel to replace the Reveal with actual functionality when using this template.
