        @brief
        A controller, that just copies the team and the target of a parent for itself and it's controllable entity.

        Useful for following (and similar) situations: (-> means attached to)
            turret (rotates) -> some kind of turret base (looks nice) -> spaceship (flies around)
            The turret has a controller that wants to copy the spaceship's target and team. In this case it doesn't work though,
            because the turret isn't directly attached to the spaceship. Here's where this controller comes in. Drawback: the base
            has to be controllable and ticks every second (performance?)
