[B41 & B42] Rope Towing

Description
To tow a car, you need equipment, right?
You can't just have a car and instantly have the ability to tow another one.
So, with this mod installed, you'll need to have a rope or a chain (both vaniilla and from The Workshop) in your inventory.

FAQ

Does this mod affect towing behavior?
No, it just prevents you from attaching vehicles without a rope.

Is there a visible rope attached to vehicles?
No

Do I need The Workshop mod for this mod to work?
No, it's compatible but not required

Hello and thank you for the mod.
we have a dedicated server B41 and the rope disappears after towing a car.
once you detach the cars the rope disappears

@WhiffMaster | Beatbox not compatible with the mod that allows you to hook the trailer from inside the car

Yeah that's my problem too, I've spend so much time just trying to replicate the issue, to no avail.
Maybe I'll add something in the description so people can try to quit and rejoin, I'm happy even if it helps only one player out.
In any case, thanks a lot for the time your already spent on this, it's highly appreciated!

I went to test a bit more but now I can't seem to make the rope disappear no matter what I do. I hook it on and off on the same place without moving the cars, I moved the cars with the rope on, I drove into far away to hook a new car and drove it back to unlode the chunk. I have seen it disappears before so I really dont get why it doenst get removed at this point. I will give some more feedback if I find out something new :)

Interesting, thanks for the feedback! Out of curiosity, when the rope disappears, are you able to tow another vehicle with the seemingly inexistant rope? Maybe it’s only a display issue but the rope is still there, looks like it.

After a bit of testing then I found out that you will get the rope/chain back by quiting the world and joining back ind again but you will lose it if you dont log out first

I keep losing the rope

Thanks, Whiff. Maybe if I have a chance I'll look into a patch to fix the towing when using a chain.

Thanks ChipR, I’ll look into it!

@Tnaz.v, it’s compatible but not needed.
@Viruana, no, towed vehicles behavior are not altered.

For the rope disappearing, it’s a long lasting issue that I have not yet been able to replicate. I’ll have a look into it again but no promises.
