}}
'''TOBJ''' is a section in the item definition file in [[Grand Theft Auto III]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], and [[Grand Theft Auto 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.


The '''Merit''' is one of the many full-size four-door sedans featured in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] and [[Grand Theft Auto IV]].

== Design ==
====Type 0====
=== GTA San Andreas ===
This type should never be used but it is still considered valid. It is documented here for sake of completion.
The Merit is originally based on a [[wp:Mazda 929#1990|fourth generation, 1992-1995 Mazda 929]], one of a handful of vehicles in GTA San Andreas with a rounded body design.

=== GTA IV ===
====Type 1====
[[Image:Merit-GTA4-front.jpg|thumb|right|305px|A Merit in GTA IV (<small>[[:Image:Merit-GTA4-rear.jpg|Rear quarter view]]</small>).]]
This is used for non-breakable objects.

In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], the Merit, assuming a [[Declasse]] badge, is redesigned with a similar look to the [[wp:Chevrolet Impala#2000-2005|2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala]] with the back seemingly inspired by a mid-1990s [[wp:BMW 3 Series (E36)|BMW E36 3-Series]], the front bumper could be derived from a variety of cars, and the headlights look more reminiscent of a [[wp:Pontiac GTO#Revival|fourth generation Pontiac GTO]] than the Impala (the split grille is also Pontiac-like). This car is also the standard base for the [[Police Patrol]] car and a [[Taxi|taxi car]]. After collecting all thirty cars for [[Stevie]] he agrees to purchase cars from [[Niko Bellic]], with the Merit fetching $1,800.
====Type 3====
This is used for complex breakable objects.

|B ||ModelName ||string ||Name of the <code>.dff</code> model file without extension.
|-
|C ||TxdName ||string ||Name of the <code>.txd</code> 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 [[unit]]s (one for each mesh, only the first is actually used).
|-
|H ||Flags ||integer ||Object flags.
|-
|I ||TimeOn ||integer ||Hour to appear
|-
|J ||TimeOff ||integer ||Hour to disappear
|}


== Performance ==
====Type 4====
=== GTA San Andreas ===
This is used for non-breakable objects and behaves equivalently to [[#Type 1|Type 1]].
This rendition of the Merit is designed as a balanced out performance, having average brake response and cornering, and good acceleration and speed. Coupled with its four-seat capacity, the Merit is a practically a good choice for drive-bys and [[police]] evasion.

|D ||DrawDistance ||float ||Draw distance in [[unit]]s.
|-
|E ||Flags ||integer ||Object flags.

|F ||TimeOn ||integer ||Hour to appear
|-
|G ||TimeOff ||integer ||Hour to disappear
|}


=== GTA IV ===
=== GTA IV ===
The GTA IV rendition of the Merit is powered by a V6, mated to a 5 speed transmission in a RWD layout. Acceleration is good, but nothing special; in line with the Merit's vanilla, everyday sedan image. Top speed is good, but again, not impressive. Braking is very good, and ABS is standard equipment. The suspension is very firm, keeping the Merit flat through corners; and making it able to corner effectively at speed. Accident deformation is acceptable, as the Merit will survive a few frontal impacts before being rendered unusable. The Merit seems suited towards any situation, it's capable of high speeds and it seems able to survive a serious car chase, making it a perfect addition to any parking space.

The Merit can be upgraded at [[TransFender]] in many aspects including [[Nitro]].

==Trivia==
== Statistics ==
* The Merit plays the following radio stations by default when entered:
Total number of TOBJ entries in:
** [[West Coast Talk Radio]] in GTA San Andreas.
:GTA III: 24 (max 30)
** [[The Beat 102.7]] or [[The Classics 104.1]] in GTA IV.
:Vice City: 342 (max 385)
* [[Michelle]], Niko's first girlfriend, owns a silver Merit, which he may keep after the mission [[First Date]].
:San Andreas: 160
* The GTA IV rendition of the car unusually features a metal partition between the front and rear occupant compartments, similar to the Taxi and Police Patrol, despite being a private vehicle and thus having no need for it.
