Accessing Torque Objects from Lua

bl[objectID] - Access a Torque object by ID (or name)
bl.objectName.field - Read a field or Lua key from a Torque object

Unsafe Mode

BlockLua-Unsafe.dll can be used in place of BlockLua.dll, to remove the sandboxing of Lua code.
This allows Lua code to access any file and use any library, including ffi.
