This resource adds a location in-game where players can rent a snowplow. With this vehicle, players can start collecting piles of snow that appear on the road.
There are different tiers of snowplows, these tiers can be configured. All tiers can have a different vehicle with different storage capacities and rental prices.
When a player enters their snowplow, a UI will pop up, providing them with information about their vehicle. It will show them how much snow they can carry and how much space has already been taken. The UI also shows players if their snowplow is currently activated.
When a player activates their snowplow, the real work starts. They can do this using the key bind, but exports and events are provided to integrate it into your radial menu. After doing this, players will need to start driving around the streets and drive over the snow piles that appear to collect them. After their vehicle is filled up, they can go to a drop-off location to sell their snow for a profit.
Features
The script has various features that benefit players and server owners alike. Here is a list of the most important ones:
Other players can see the same UI as the driver of the snowplow, and storage capacity is synchronized.
Snow piles are synchronized across the server, and big orange arrows indicate which piles the player can collect.
Snow piles have no collision, so NPCs don’t get stuck in a traffic jam and other players won’t wreck their cars due to a sudden snow pile appearing in front of them.
Snow piles disappear after 15 seconds if they’re not collected. This preserves performance and cluttering of many uncollected snow piles.
Various sounds are provided to give players feedback on their actions. For example, there are sound effects when collecting snow, selling snow, and activating or deactivating the snowplow.
The job is not locked to a job, meaning that any player can pick it up as a side hustle during the winter months.
The snowplow can be locked to certain weather types, preventing players from collecting snow while there is a heat wave going on.
All functions that call out to other scripts (such as frameworks or TextUI resources) are accessible, allowing you to integrate the resource with the rest of your server.
An extensive configuration file is provided, allowing you to configure the script to your liking.
Key binds using key mapping are automatically retrieved and displayed in the TextUI.
Optimized performance: 0.00 ms while idle, 0.01 ms in use. Tops out at 0.04 ms when markers are being drawn above snow piles.
We have been using R3 scripts for a very long time now, and I couldnt ask for a better and more responsive Developer.
This new snowplow script finally hits all the checkboxes that a snowplow script should for a realistic economy, just in time for the winter holidays! Being able to buy a snow plow from a dealership and it work, or renting one via the R3 script - makes this such a powerful dynamic that more scripts should consider.
I can assure you that the code was not stolen. That’s quite a heavy accusation to make.
I think it’s quite obvious to see how my script is different from the one you linked, but here are some important differences between the two:
Snow piles seem to spawn on a predefined route, whereas my script generates them automatically as long as the player is driving on a road.
There is no progress indicator or custom UI, which my script does have. This also means other players can’t see how much snow has been collected. In fact, the script you linked doesn’t “collect” the snow you remove at all.
The payout system is completely different. The script you linked gives you money on an interval during the job, while mine gives you money for selling the snow you collect.
There are more differences, but I won’t go into detail on those. In the end, you should use what feels right for your server and decide if the price is worth it. But that is entirely up to you .
We have been using this script in server for over a year now and it is truly amazing. I couldn’t think of a better script and developer to go with than R3 and this script. Also not to mention the support for R3’s scripts is unmatched.
We use this script on our server, and we absolutely love this script. It works like how its supposed to and its very easy to figure out for new people to the server when snow is on the ground, and if something does break with an update or anything the support is great! 10/10 would recommend this script to other servers!

His support is amazing.
