Description

A QBCore smuggler job: a runner picks up server-issued contraband and drives it to a buyer, but the route is laced with police checkpoints. At each checkpoint the server rolls a search, a hit seizes the cargo, a miss lets the runner bluff through, so success pays out only if the contraband survives the trip. This is the risk-bearing criminal-transport loop legal cargo hauling can't sell.

Known Failure Modes & Corrective Prompt

  • Client-side search roll, deciding the seizure on the client lets a modder always pass; roll it in the server smug:checkSearch.
  • Non-atomic deliver, paying and removing contraband in two events dupes cargo on a disconnect; do both in one handler after re-checking the item.
  • Per-frame markers, drawing checkpoints in a Wait(0) loop tanks FPS; gate drawing by distance and sleep longer when far.

Corrective re-prompt: "Move the seizure decision into the server handler with math.random against a per-checkpoint chance, end the active run on a hit, and in smug:deliver re-verify the run table entry and the contraband item before a single RemoveItem+AddMoney so deliver is atomic."

Framework Integration

  • ESX: ESX.GetPlayerFromId(source), xPlayer.getInventoryItem, xPlayer.removeInventoryItem, xPlayer.addMoney('cash', amount).
  • QBCore: QBCore.Functions.GetPlayer(source), Player.Functions.GetItemByName, RemoveItem, Player.Functions.AddMoney('cash', amount).
  • QBox: exports.qbx_core:GetPlayer(source) plus ox_inventory exports for contraband if installed.

Profit Potential

$400-$6000/mo on Tebex (expected ~$1500), priced inside the $50-389 script band against a corpus of comparable Tebex sellers (median ~$11.85K/mo), scaled for a hot criminal-transport niche.

Trend Signal

🔥 hot, inferred: Contraband-running with checkpoint evasion is high-demand criminal transport, distinct from legal A-to-B cargo hauling (no law-enforcement search risk).

Sales Angle

Position as the criminal-transport headliner, real seizure stakes and police interplay, not a legal hauling timer. Recommended Tebex price $289.
