SPTransporterLensFlares

TiM: Judging from the title,
you just KNOW it's mine ;)

Anyway, the point of this 
function is to render 4 
sprites and then scale + move
them in a way reminisicant
of ST: Voyager's transporter FX.

I wrote this instead of using the
already made FX spawning functions
because they don't let u track an origin.
To stop the particle
from rendering within the character, I'm going to
use the DEPTHHACK renderflag, the flag
originally used for the weapon models
in first-person mode. :)

Planned timing:

0 - 500 : Flare spawns, and scales up to it's main size (width parameter)
500 - 1500 : Flare moves up the height/2 of model (height parameter)
1500 - 2000 : Flare scales down and disappears ( width * 1.0 - (timeScale) )
