	This function sets a custom LOD distance for any object / model ID. This is the distance at which objects of that model ID are switched to their LOD model, or (if there is no LOD model) become invisible.

	However, there is a general draw distance limit of 325 units. So engineSetModelLODDistance(1337,400) will mean model 1337 will be visible up to a distance of 325 units no matter what the 'Video' tab says.
