Yes.

Tables

Use tables. Tables have an array part and a dictionary part. The dictionary part is an unordered mapping of key-value pairs.

local materials = {
    Concrete = true,
    Slate = true,
    Cobblestone = true,
    Granite = true,
    Marble = true
}

if (materials[part.Material.Name]) then
    -- something
end

If the name of the material is a key in the table, materials[part.Material.Name] will evalúate to true. Otherwise nil.
