Vehicle Tow – Tow or Load up vehicles from the map

Create unique environments for your players by allowing them to tow or load up vehicles from around the map. Carry up boats, helis or drag cars around or into your base. Make up huge convoys of vehicles or load them up to the sky, go wild and have fun!

Features

(please check the config as well)

• Loot a fully repaired car engine and the Vehicle Tow Hammer will appear, click on it and you’ll receive the item. (If you want to see the skinned icon, you need to have Image Library installed) (Confirm you have the config permission otherwise the Tow Hammer won’t appear)
• Once equipped, the Tow Hammer menu will be present by default lower right corner (configurable)
• Switch through 3 different sizes of chassis with button [R] while holding the Tow Hammer
• Hit Ground Twice (2) to create Selected Chassis
• Hit Vehicle to Mark it, then Hit next Vehicle to Attach it
• Hit Vehicle Twice (2) to Detach it
• Modular Vehicles can only be attached behind, while non modular are placed onto the chassis/roof
• Vehicles can fall off or detach themself if they tilt too much (configurable)
• Tow Hammer and Chassis resources are configurable
• Support for Permissions
• Support for Locked Vehicles
• Configurable Max Attached Vehicle for Behind/On Top
• Configurable Max Attachable Distance for Behind/On Top
• Chassis can be Picked up – Equip Tow Hammer and push twice the chassis
• Full editable Notifications

Credits

I need to express my sincere gratitude towards Gruxer and his video that gave me the inspiration to create this unique vehicle tow plugin.
Please go and send him some love. You can check his original version here and link for his server/discord within the video.

Under Work for Vehicle Tow

• Providing proper mechanics for all attached vehicles to apply collision to the drivable vehicle to prevent object clipping
• Plan to add an attachable vehicle to be carried with Helis as well
• Further ideas will be added after being suggested and discussed
