TOs Advanced Ammunition Controls

Spiritual successor from the long lost "Ammo Management Controls" but with less functionality
****Currently WIP****

-Allows the selection cycling of different ammo types in weapons easily from the block terminal menu

-When successful switch is complete it adds a suffix the the weapon name so you know what is loaded in it. Weapons that can be attached to conveyor systems have a [A>Ammo] suffix while manual loading weapons have [M>Ammo] Suffix as it is handled as a manual load weapon. This means it will not move inventory around, it just switches what ammo is loaded into the barrel of the weapon. This can be done with any turret if you turn conveyor access Off in the settings and then select an Ammo if you want it to be manual loading

-Allows remote ordering of Ammo from assemblers in blocks of 20 once the weapons ammo is locked in

-Puts inventory constraints on weapons to the ammo you want to prevent improper loading in survival, think of it as locking that weapon to only that ammo type. These constraints will reload on world load as they are tied to the blocks custom data but currently copy and pasted ships constraint wont get set until you reload the world

-Return to default button clears the weapon back to vanilla

-Very basic in creative, but in survival it unloads the weapons inventory into a available connected cargo container and then pulls 1 of the requested ammo to the weapon. The in-game inventory handles the full reloading from there.

-Please note that currently if there is no detected cargo containers to unload the ammo it deletes it instead to allow the switch so always make sure your turrets are connected or you will loose some ammo during switch. Currently working on a way to save it or stop the reload and send a warning

-Some weapons hold 1 unit of ammo in the "chamber" i have yet to code a way to save it so you may loose any chambered ammo during the switch

-If you dont have available ammo in the conveyor system the reload will fail, you can check this by the weapon suffix not changing.

Known Bugs:
-When in creative keen skips alot of loading logic so if you have weapons on your hotbar and press them more than once the game will pick random ammo and ni currently can't stop it. Inventory blocking should prevent this though in survival
-When turrets move (either idle or when tracking a target) it can make it hard to select ammunition in the terminal, some kind of refresh problem i havent sorted out yet. Quick fix is toggle the turret off, make your changes and then toggle it back on again.


**NOTE** WIP
-There may be bugs and it is a work in progress, im just learning so it may take me awhile to fix them
-Re-uploads are not permitted
