Material Module Reference
Module defined in `lua/vehicle/material.lua`. Manages dynamic vehicle materials, "glowmaps" (lighting), and "deformmaps" (damage textures).
Vehicle Object
The `obj` global is a C++ binding to the `Vehicle` object in the engine. It provides direct access to the vehicle's physical state and low-level physics modifications. This is the primary interface fo
