Description
SmartTape is a FiveM police tape resource allowing you to secure scenes with different tapes, which we believe is a first for FiveM. You can easily add tape in an area, move tape and set the length all from a simple menu. We've included a police tape model with three variants, a british police tape, inner corden tape and fire tape. You have the ability to customise these textures and change the name for the menu.
This plugin is made by LondonStudios, we have created a variety of releases including TaserFramework, SearchHandler, ActivateAlarm, SmartTester, SmartSounds, CustodyAlarm, SmartObservations and more!
