Flares appear to be glitched/broken? #123

First, when you try to create an ammo box for 40mm Flare Launcher, most of the options for customization are missing and you immediately get a lua error. Edit: This was fixed via the server owner completely removing ACF then re-downloading it from scratch.

Second, should you have a dupe that already has customized flare ammo working, sometimes when trying to fire the flare, it will spit a massive error in both the console, and the in-game hints, along with the loud error buzz.

I'm not in-game right now so I'm unable to copy the exact errors. But should you be unable to recreate the problem and want me to get the errors for you, I'll definitely do so. Anyway, Flares are pretty much unusable for me right now due to this error spam and the flare launcher randomly not firing it's flares. All of this testing has been done on a dedicated server with updated ACF/ACF-Missiles.

After some random reading, my 2nd bug might be the same as this issue https://github.com/Bubbus/ACF-Missiles/issues/111 . I have 2 flare launchers side by side shooting sideways, and it spits the error when I'm moving quickly. It's possible the launcher in front is spawning the flare inside of the launcher behind it or something. I'll test moving the launchers into different positions and see if that helps, then I'll update here either way.

Edit: Nope, nvm. Still a problem. Moving them around didn't change anything. Could still be hitting something, as it seems to do it more when my plane is moving. But even placing them at the back end of my plane, with nothing in front of them and nothing trailing behind the plane, they still spit errors like mad.

If anyone knows a workaround to prevent this from happening, lemme know.
