Controlling Spawners.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Further description of the feature you'd like to see:

I'd like to be able to make individual spawners spit out infinite entities. 

I.E. Make drone spawn never run out "infinite", but while keeping all other 
spawners normal.

This would be similar to the idea of impossimode, except you could control 
which types of spawners it effects instead of mass hysteria.

How do you plan to have control over them? What were you imagining? Because I 
can't really see a user-friendly way to do this.

Add a command that triggers a spawner to be either infinite or follow the 
normal course of action, based on the type of alien it is set to release.

asw_spawner_drone_infinite 1
asw_spawner_harvester_infinite 0

a better yet scenario would to be able to designate how many aliens will spawn 
and choose if its infinite or not in one command.

for instance
asw_spawner_drone 60
that would allow 60 drones then the spawner stops.
in addition to that you could make a default value infinte

asw_spawner_drone 999
so that when you enter 999 its turned into infinite and no longer counts but 
just spawns entities until pruning or culling stops it.

Then you could have a minimum value of 0 that makes the spawner be unaffected 
by the command at all and follow the normal course of action.

I'm only speaking in if's & and's here for ideas. 
It doesnt have to be over complicated, I'd just like to atleast see a switch 
that makes each alien spawner type "infinite" or "normal". I just feel like the 
spawners need a little work in the control department.
