Description: This property specifies what effect happens when a particular attacking Material hits an object's Material. For example, a bullethole could appear, or a piece of cement could fly off.

 MaterialManager.AttGroup 216
 MaterialManager.DefGroup 50
 MaterialManager.DamageMod 0
 MaterialManager.SetEffectTemplate e_RichoMetal

This last line specifies the e_RichoMetal effect, which is defined in objects/Effects/e_RichoMetal/Effects.con:

 ObjectTemplate.Create EffectBundle e_RichoMetal
