Multiple materials in one model/surface

You know how in the editor, you can create a shape, add a material, then select a face and add a different material to it? How would I do that using code?

 

I know I can create multiple surfaces in a model, but then you dont have the entire mesh to set as the collision shape and things get messy.

 

Basically, I want to know how to create a mesh with multiple materials and set the whole mesh as the collider for the model.

I know that much. The problem with doing things that way is (as far as I know) you can only set a single surface as the shape/collider for that model. Other engines use sub-meshes where you have one main mesh, then add triangles with an ID that have different materials.

 

I just want to know what goes on when you do this in the editor, so I can do it in-game.

No, not on the shape, on the mesh/surface. You can create multiple surfaces for one model, but you can only set one of those surfaces as the shape for the model. I'd like to be able to create just one surface that has multiple materials. Or alternatively, somehow add a combination of all the surfaces in a model as the shape.

 

I can see where the confusion is... When I said shape, I meant a shape, like level geometry, eg cube, cylinder, etc.
