PlayerSpawnManager

In Assault Player.PlayerReplicationInfo.Team and PlayerStart.TeamNumber do not match! The SpawnManager makes the connection between the team number and the right PlayerStart Taking in account things like: - which team is attacking or defending - multiple (consecutively triggered or not) spawn areas - forced pawn class with specific spawn areas

How to use: - Add a PlayerSpawnManager for each Spawn area in the level - Due to the way UT handles playerstarts, you must have PlayerStart actors with TeamNumber=0 in the Level

Parameters are self explanatory
