 * Alt Activation Text:
 * Flags
 * Is CharGen Face Preset: If checked, the face created for this actor is available for the player to choose in Character Gen. There is a misconception that this flag will also prevent CK from editing the NPC's Face Data, and some mods have used this heavily on their NPC's resulting in a heavily populated Character Gen menu. Do not use unless you wish this face to be an available Preset for the Player.
 * Essential: Essential actors cannot be killed. When they reach 0 health, they go into a special "bleedout" state and recover over time.
 * Protected: Protected actors are treated as essential to all damage except that delivered by the player. The player is the only one allowed to kill a Protected actor.
 * Respawn: References of this actor in the world will resurrect and reset when their cell is reset.
 * Unique: Only one reference of this actor is allowed to exist. Unique actors mainly exist so that the Story Manager can find them even when they are not currently persisting.
 * Doesn't affect stealth meter: When this actor detects the player, the stealth meter does not react. Typically used for non-hostile actors such as animals and critters.
 * Diffuse alpha test:
 * Summonable: This actor can be associated with a Summon Actor magic effect.
 * Is Ghost: This actor is immune to all damage, and all weapons pass through them without playing hit effects or triggering hit events.
 * Invulnerable: This actor is immune to all damage, although weapons and projectiles appear to hit them normally.
 * Doesn't Bleed: When the actor is struck by a weapon, blood effects are disabled.
 * Simple Actor: Disables face animations and morphing. Also disables the Story Manager's Death and Assault events.
