Tow Truck Driver Job (Fine System & Realistic Towing)

NEW VERSION RELEASED - CONSIDER BUYING TOW TRUCK 2

Tow Truck Drivers are equipped with a attachment tool weapon that is used to attach vehicles by hooking the nose of the "target" vehicle, to the back of your tow truck. Once a vehicle is hooked, the tow truck driver can place a fine on the vehicle. The respective owner will be notified and the vehicles location will be marked on their screen.

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

✔️ Towers can retrieve a tow truck from the NPC.

✔️ Realistically attach vehicles from in-truck and with the tow attachment weapon.

✔️ Custom tow attachment hook models, materials and animations. (by foks)

✔️ Ability to configure multiple tow truck driver teams.

✔️ Language system.

✔️ Plenty of configuration.

✔️ Default tow truck supports VCMod

Installation

This addon supports DarkRP 2.7+

If you encounter any problems after a DarkRP update, then please create a support ticket.

Extract "darkrptowtruckdriverjob" to your addons!

Once you've done that, you will need to put up the location for the tow npc, and the place for the tow truck to spawn.

To set the position of the tow npc, go to the location you want it to be in, and type towtrucknpc_setpos.

To activate this location, your server requires a restart.

To set the position of the tow truck spawn, go to the location you want it to be in, and type towtruck_setpos.

This is activated instantly.

Remember to aim the direction you want the npc and truck to spawn in. Your angle matters!

You must be an administrator on your server to perform these actions.

How To

You can hook cars to each other in different ways as a tower.

Either by right clicking from inside your tow truck, or using the attach weapon that comes with the tow truck driver job.

I have recently launched a discord server for customers and anyone else who wish to join. I will occasionally provide exclusive offers and help with minor issues that might occur with my scripts. If you have a more serious problem, please create a support ticket on GModStore.

The script uses a custom hook weapon which needs to be added to your server.

The car used in this addon is Sickness Models.

There are numerous uploads of the truck on the workshop, but here is the one I recommend you use.

To get the tow truck working in-game you will have to add that workshop to your servers workshop collection, so players download it.

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.
