|description = Adds paths for traffic
}}
'''<code>path</code>''' is a section in the item definition file in [[Grand Theft Auto III]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]. It is used to add paths for foot and vehicular traffic. Path nodes in GTA III are attached to existing objects in a similar manner to <code>[[2DFX|2dfx]]</code>. In GTA Vice City, the format of this section is similar to its [[PATH|IPL counterpart]] but entries will crash the game because of an imposed limit. Use a limit adjuster like VC Limit Adjuster and increase the number of treadables to use this section.
