TowService - Immersive Tow & Impound Support for LSPDFR 1.0.0

TowService adds a realistic and configurable tow truck system to LSPDFR.
Request a tow truck for any eligible vehicle near you and watch it arrive, secure the vehicle, and transport it away, "smoothly" and "professionally".

TowService uses a hybrid system:

1. AI drives toward the vehicle.

2. A replacement vehicle is safely attached to the tow truck.

3. The original vehicle is hidden.

4. Tow truck transports vehicle away (in the air)

5. Cleanup occurs after departure distance/time.

Built using RAGE Plugin Hook
Developed and tested on: RAGEPluginHook_1_107_1334_16527

Designed for seamless compatibility with the LSPDFR ecosystem.

Showcasing a working tow

Showcasing a time when the Tow Truck gets stuck or doesn't drive, it still gets cleaned.

Two times is the charm!
