WEAP (IDE section)
Supported games:GTA VC, GTA SA, GTA IV
Brief description:Used to define weapons
IDE Sections:

PATH PEDS TANM TOBJ TREE TXDP WEAP

WEAP is a section in the item definition file. It is used to define weapons. The format is similar to OBJS. However GTA 3 defined weapons inside the OBJS section, so this section can be seen as an extented objects section. In any case additional weapon information gets defined inside the weapon.dat file.

Identifier Description

AnimationName
Name of the .wad animation dictionary without extension.

Object Flags

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