Recursive conversion for spawners - #2396
Conversation
…ed spawns - Convert existing spawned units in-flight and docked instead of destroying them when spawner converts to a type with different Spawns. - Preserve SpawnManagerClass and update SpawnType/rates smoothly across conversions. - Initialize IsSpawnMissile based on MissileSpawn. - Allow docked and newly regenerated spawns to launch when spawner is actively attacking an existing target.

if a missile spawn is converting to a jet during taking off it'll behave weirdly. But if it's already cruising on the sky then it'll behave normally on the other hand, if a spawn unit is converting into a missile spawn one during taking off, the missile will stop on the sky and don't move, and it cannot regen missile either. They'll move again when converting back either we should do more compatibility here or just kill all spawns like we did before |

funnier thing, if a spawn unit is converting into a missile spawn one during the jet is returning, it'll change into missile and hit itself and idk how to explain this. It's missile spawn to missile spawn this time |

one more thing, if a spawn jet with Strafing weapon converts into another spawn jet without it, it might still perform a Strafing attack with the new spawn jet's weapon. This is more like a problem of conversion itself tho, but it would need to be more compatible to cooperate with this feature |

Suggestion: Ignore all MissileSpawn. Do nothing when the from or to is MissileSpawn. |

Currently, when a spawner is converted into a type with a different Spawns, all spawned aircraft are destroyed and the manager is recreated from scratch.
Now spawned aircrafts are preserved across conversions and recursively converts existing spawned units (both in-flight and docked) to the new Spawns type instead of killing them.
In addition, if the spawner is actively attacking a target, newly ready or regenerated spawns will now automatically launch towards it instead of staying docked in cooldown.
