'''<code>anim</code>''' is a section in the item definition file in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] and [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. It is used to define standard map objects linked to an animation. Its format is almost exactly like [[OBJS|standard map objects]] but with one additional parameter for the animation file. GTA IV added a section <code>tanm</code> that supports time controlled objects linked to animations.

== Format ==
=== GTA San Andreas ===
{{Pre|
anim
Id, ModelName, TxdName, AnimationName, DrawDistance, Flags
end
}}

!Description
|-
|A ||Id ||integer ||Unique object ID.
|-
|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 ||AnimationName ||string ||Name of the <code>.ifp</code> animation file without extension.
|-
|E ||DrawDistance ||float ||Draw distance in [[unit]]s.
|-
|F ||Flags ||integer ||Object flags.
|}

Note that animated models still have static collisions. This means that the collision do not animate with the model since it does not contain bone information for the animation. If you want to move objects, you can do this using the script.

=== GTA IV ===
{{Pre|
anim
ModelName, TxdName, AnimationName, DrawDistance, Flag, unknown, MinX, MinY, MinZ, MaxX, MaxY, MaxZ, SphereX, SphereY, SphereZ, Radius, LODModel
end
