T3D 1.1 SpawnSphere usability improvement

Platform: Windows 7 32 bit
Build: Torque 3D 1.1 Final
Target: SpawnSphere class

SpawnSphere, when used to spawn AIPlayer objects without the aid of a spawn script like the one used to spawn Players in the standard templates, dumps its spawnees at an indeterminate location, which seems to be centred on the origin horizontally, but some distance in the air.

Anyway. I made some modifications; here's a patch that will add a flag that causes SpawnSpheres to set their spawnees' transform after creation:
