Tow Truck Driver Job 2 (Tow Trucks, Fine System, Service Calls, Custom Models)

This version is rewritten, brand new user interface and much more feature-rich version of my old addon that was released in 2014.

Tow Truck Drivers are equipped with two weapons. They have an attachment tool that is used to attach vehicles by hooking the nose of the "target" vehicle to the back of your tow truck. The same weapon is used to unattach the vehicle again.

Tow Truck Drivers are also equipped with a fine tablet. They can inspect vehicles using this tablet to see information about the specific vehicle, such as owner, wanted status and many vehicle specifications such as horsepower, weight and more! By using the tablet, tow truck drivers can specify and place a fine on the vehicle. The respective vehicle owner will be notified and the vehicles location will be marked on their screen.

When entering a fined vehicle a fine menu will appear and the vehicle cannot be driven until that fine is paid.

Citizens can call for tow service on vehicles. A tow service call will notify all tow truck drivers and display the vehicles location on the map. Tow truck drivers can then right click with their attachment tool to mark it as finished or it automatically happen when they proceed to tow it.

If you find any problems with the script, please create a support ticket with details of the situation and a copypaste of the error in console. I am also not interested in modifying you a custom version of the addon. Also not upon payment. Sorry!

Conflicting addons is not to be said if I will support that or not. This is something I will decide upon confrontation about a conflicting addon. If you have some sort of proof that an addon is conflicting with my addon, please send me a PM with the details you might have.

Thank you!
