    @brief
        ActionpointController is a state machine with states:
            1) NONE
            2) FLY: fly towards a point
            3) FIGHT: fight enemies that are in attackRange_ (see FightingController)
            4) PROTECT: follow this->protect_
            5) FIGHTALL: fight all enemies on the map
            6) ATTACK: fight a specific spaceship
        This controller always executes an action that is in the back of the vector being used.
        After current this->action_ is completed, next action becomes the top action (one that will
        be returned by someVector.back()), and current action either will be removed (if not looping),
        or moved to the top (if looping).

        Every second action(), which is once in two seconds, this searches the area for enemies that are in attack range, if finds anyone,
        pushes Action::FIGHT to the stack. That makes spaceship fight enemies inside of a sphere, and when all enemies in range are dead,
        Action::FIGHT is removed from the stack, and spaceship resumes doing whatever action was being executed before.

        In XML one has to attack Actionpoints in order to achieve any complex behaviour, but in Controller all actionpoints are effectively 
        being stored in an array of type Point::Value.
    @note
        ActionpointController will not work, if there is no MasterController in the level!
        All the demos are in a file called AITest.oxw. In the menu look for New AI Testing Level.

                Full description:
                Adds an Actionpoint to this->actionpoints_. Actionpoint can take arguments like action="attack" attack="name".
                For documentation on Actionpoint XML arguments, check out Actionpoint.h class
                If any WorldEntity that is not Actionpoint or its child being sent to actionpoints through XML,
                action would be assumed to be Action::FLY and target position to be position of the entity. Also, if not Actionpoint
                is passed, it is assumed to be in a loop. How it works is: in \<actionpoints\> first all Actionpoints between 
                first Actionpoint with loopStart=true and first following Actionpoint with loopEnd=true are included in a single loop.
                If they are adjacent (in the input array) with WorldEntity, then WorldEntity is also in a loop.
                All the Worldentities are assumed to be in loop. 
               
                Loop example:

                @code
                <SpaceShip position="-1500, 1500, -1000" lookat="0,0,0" team=0 name="ss1">
                  <templates>
                    <Template link=spaceshipassff />
                  </templates>
                  <controller>
                    <DivisionController team=0 formationMode="wall">
                      <actionpoints>
                        <Actionpoint position="  0,2000,-600" action="FLY" loopStart=true/>
                        <Actionpoint position="  0,2000,-1000" action="FLY"  />
                        <Actionpoint position="400,2000,-1000" action="FLY" />
                        <Actionpoint position="400,2000,-600" action="FLY" loopEnd=true />
                      </actionpoints>
                    </DivisionController>
                  </controller>
                </SpaceShip>
                @endcode
               
                other loop example:

                @code
                <SpaceShip position="-1500, -1500, -1500" lookat="0,0,0" team=0 name="ss1">
                  <templates>
                    <Template link=spaceshipassff />
                  </templates>
                  <controller>
                    <DivisionController team=0 formationMode="diamond">
                      <actionpoints>
                        <Model mesh="cube.mesh" scale=8 position="  0,2000,-600" />
                        <Model mesh="cube.mesh" scale=8 position="  0,2000,-1000" />
                        <Model mesh="cube.mesh" scale=8 position="400,2000,-1000" />
                        <Model mesh="cube.mesh" scale=8 position="400,2000,-600" />
                      </actionpoints>

                  </controller>
                </SpaceShip>
                @endcode

            @note
                Don't use several loops, and don't use WorldEntities as input to \<actionpoints\> as I didn't test it well, but you
                can try if feeling lucky.
