tobj is a section in the item definition file in GTA III, Vice City, San Andreas, Liberty City Stories, and GTA IV. It is used to define standard map objects similar to the objs section with an additional in-game time range defining when the object gets rendered. GTA IV also support time controlled objects linked to animations through the tanm section. Most, if not all, time objects use the object flag 2 to prevent them from fading into and out of view at those times.

Format

GTA III – Liberty City Stories

# type 2 (III/VC/SA/LCS)
Id, ModelName, TxdName, MeshCount, DrawDistance1, DrawDistance2, Flags, TimeOn, TimeOff
# type 3 (III/VC/SA/LCS)

# type 4 (SA)

end

Type 1

This is used for non-breakable objects.

GTA III Vice City
San Andreas Liberty City Stories
Identifier Type Description
A Id integer Unique object identifier.
B ModelName string Name of the model file without extension.
C TxdName string Name of the texture dictionary without extension.
D MeshCount integer Number of meshes. 1 for this type.
E DrawDistance float Draw distance in units.
F Flags integer Object flags (see below).
G TimeOn integer Hour to appear
H TimeOff integer Hour to disappear

Type 2

This is used for breakable objects.

GTA III Vice City
San Andreas Liberty City Stories
Identifier Type Description
A Id integer Unique object identifier.
B ModelName string Name of the model file without extension.
C TxdName string Name of the texture dictionary without extension.
D MeshCount integer Number of meshes. 2 for this type.
E,F DrawDistance1, DrawDistance2 float[2] Draw distance in units (one for each mesh, only the first is actually used).
G Flags integer Object flags (see below).
H TimeOn integer Hour to appear
I TimeOff integer Hour to disappear

Type 3

This is used for complex breakable objects.

GTA III Vice City
San Andreas Liberty City Stories
Identifier Type Description
A Id integer Unique object identifier.
B ModelName string Name of the model file without extension.
C TxdName string Name of the texture dictionary without extension.
D MeshCount integer Number of meshes. 3 for this type.
E,F,G DrawDistance1, DrawDistance2, DrawDistance3 float[3] Draw distance in units (one for each mesh, only the first is actually used).
H Flags integer Object flags (see below).
I TimeOn integer Hour to appear
J TimeOff integer Hour to disappear

Type 4

This is used for non-breakable objects and behaves equivalently to Type 1.

San Andreas Identifier Type Description
A Id integer Unique object identifier.
B ModelName string Name of the model file without extension.
C TxdName string Name of the texture dictionary without extension.
D DrawDistance float Draw distance in units.
E Flags integer Object flags (see below).
F TimeOn integer Hour to appear
G TimeOff integer Hour to disappear

GTA IV

tobj
ModelName, TxdName, DrawDistance, Flags, Unknown, MinX, MinY, MinZ, MaxX, MaxY, MaxZ, SphereX, SphereY, SphereZ, Radius, LODModel, NightFlag
end
GTA IV Identifier Type Description
A ModelName string Name of the .wdr model file without extension.
B TxdName string name of the .wtd texture dictionary without extension.
C DrawDistance float Draw distance in units.
D Flags integer Object flag (see below).
E unknown float Unknown integer (0 by default).
F,G,H MinX, MinY, MinZ float[3] Lower left corner of the bounding box for the object.
I,J,K MaxX, MaxY, MaxZ float[3] Upper right corner of the bounding box for the object.
L,M,N SphereX, SphereY, SphereZ float[3] Center of the bounding sphere for the object.
O Radius float Radius of the bounding sphere into all dimensions.
P LODModel string Name of the .wdd file that contains the lod model for the defined modelname.
Q NightFlag integer If enabled (1) the object only shows at nighttime, otherwise the object gets only rendered at daytime. Day- and nighttimes are hardcoded.

Object flags

Flags are used to specify the behaviour of objects. They are signed 32-bit integer values where each bit describes a boolean value of an special aspect.

Flag Supported games Binary Description
-1 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 Enables all flags.[a] Never used by default.
1 GTA III Vice City San Andreas GTA IV 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001 Wet effect (objects appear darker).
2 GTA III Vice City San Andreas GTA IV 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0010 Do not fade the object when it is being loaded into or out of view.
4 GTA III Vice City San Andreas GTA IV 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0100 Allow transparencies of other objects to be visible through this object.
8 GTA III Vice City San Andreas GTA IV 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 1000 Alpha transparency 2

32 GTA III Vice City San Andreas GTA IV 0000 0000 0000 0000 0010 0000 Indicates an object to be used inside an interior.
64 GTA III Vice City San Andreas GTA IV 0000 0000 0000 0000 0100 0000 Disables the shadow mesh to project a shadow; allow transparencies of other objects, shadows, and lights to be visible through this object.

256 Vice City San Andreas GTA IV 0000 0000 0000 0001 0000 0000 Disables draw distance (Only used for LOD objects with an LOD value greater than 299).
512 Vice City San Andreas GTA IV 0000 0000 0000 0010 0000 0000 Object is breakable (like glass – additional parameters defined inside the object.dat file, otherwise there is no effect).
1024 Vice City San Andreas GTA IV 0000 0000 0000 0100 0000 0000 Similar to flag 512: object first cracks on a strong collision, then it breaks (does also require object.dat registration).
2048 San Andreas GTA IV 0000 0000 0000 1000 0000 0000 Indicates an object as an garage door (for more information see GRGE – requires object.dat registration).
4096 San Andreas GTA IV 0000 0000 0001 0000 0000 0000 Indicates a multi mesh object (Object switches from mesh 2 to mesh 1 after collision – requires object.dat registration).

2097152 San Andreas 0001 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 Disables backface culling – as an result the texture will be drawed on both sides of the model (Always enabled for GTA III and Vice City)
