Add another way to override materials that isn't based on attributes about sbox-issues

[garrynewman]

I like the index method better

Its doable, you can add your own attributes for each material and override it that way. Refer to this #3435

I don't know why garry closed the issue, as I think it would still be very useful to have that exposed nicely in the API somehow, instead of having to do your own implementation.

Appreciate the workaround. I hope he doesn't mark this issue as completed too because this isn't an elegant workaround imo. Simple things like this should be accessible really easily (and as Nebual says in the linked issue it really shouldnt be a challenge to add to the engine)

pretty sure before the scene system you could just replace by index?
