Additional Notes
- Make sure to use Physobj :IsValid on the returned physics object to make sure the entity has a physics object.
- Some entities, like ragdolls and vehicles, have more than one physics object. GetPhysicsObject will only return the first one. Use Entity.GetPhysicsObjectNum to access the others.
