Custom Job with Duty

Build a tow truck job with duty toggling, salary, and a custom uniform.

What You'll Build

• Tow truck job with three grades: Driver, Senior Driver, Supervisor
• Duty command that toggles on/off and changes the player's uniform
• Salary paid while on duty
• /tow command restricted to on-duty tow drivers

Prerequisites

• shiva-jobs enabled
• shiva-economy enabled

Step 1 — Register the Job

-- resources/[shiva]/shiva-jobs/config.lua
Config.jobs['towing'] = {
    label = 'Towing Company',
    defaultGrade = 0,
    grades = {
        [0] = { label = 'Driver',        salary = 100 },
        [1] = { label = 'Senior Driver', salary = 150 },
        [2] = { label = 'Supervisor',    salary = 200 },
    },
}

Step 2 — Create the Module

shiva make module my-towing

Step 3 — Duty Command

-- server/init.lua
commands:register('towduty', {
    description = 'Toggle towing duty',
    permission  = 'user',
    handler     = function(source)
        local jobs = container:make('IJobs')
        if not jobs:hasJob(source, 'towing') then
            notify(source, 'error', 'You are not a tow driver.')
            return
        end
        local onDuty = not jobs:isOnDuty(source)
        jobs:setDuty(source, onDuty)
        TriggerClientEvent('my-towing:dutyChanged', source, onDuty)
    end
})

Step 4 — Client Uniform

-- client/init.lua
AddEventHandler('my-towing:dutyChanged', function(onDuty)
    if onDuty then
        -- Apply tow driver uniform
        SetPedComponentVariation(PlayerPedId(), 11, 55, 0, 2)  -- jacket
        SetPedComponentVariation(PlayerPedId(), 4,  35, 0, 2)  -- legs
    else
        -- Reset to civilian clothes
        SetPedDefaultComponentVariation(PlayerPedId())
    end
end)

Step 5 — Restrict the Tow Command

commands:register('tow', {
    description = 'Tow a nearby vehicle',
    permission  = 'user',
    handler     = function(source)
        local jobs = container:make('IJobs')
        if not jobs:hasJob(source, 'towing') or not jobs:isOnDuty(source) then
            notify(source, 'error', 'You must be on duty as a tow driver.')
            return
        end
        -- tow logic
    end,
})
