-- This module provides functions for creating and managing custom progress bars. It stores bar definitions and configurations in `LevelVars.Engine.CustomBars`, enabling seamless state management. 
-- Each bar is independently controlled through its associated functions.
--
-- Example usage:
--
--	local CustomBar = require("Engine.CustomBar")
--
--	-- Create a table with all the bar properties
--	local barData = {

--		rotBg               = 0,
