PATH (IDE section)
Supported games:GTA III Vice City
Brief description:Used to define paths for traffic
IDE Sections:

PATH is a section in the item definition file in GTA III and Vice City. It is used to define paths for traffic. Path nodes in GTA III are attached to existing objects in a similar manner to 2DFX. In Vice City, the format of this section is equivalent to its IPL counterpart but this section is unstable and can crash the game unexpectedly.

Format

GTA III Identifier Type Description
Group
A GroupType string
  • ped = pedestrian traffic
  • car = road traffic

C ModelName string associated to existing object model name defined in OBJS or TOBJ section
Node
A NodeType integer
  • 0 = Null
  • 1 = External
  • 2 = Internal
B NextNode integer
  • -1 = Do not link to any other node in this group
  • 0 to 11 = Link to this node number in this group
C IsCrossRoad integer Boolean determining if there is a cross road in the imaginary line joined by two nodes
D,E,F X, Y, Z float[3] X, Y, and Z coordinates relative to the center of the object * 16
G unknown float Always 160
H LeftLanes integer Number of lanes left of the node (ignored for ped path nodes)
