How to start 3 instances of a mission

Hi, sorry if this is a trivial question and not deserving of a topic, but I could never understand why you need girlfriend calls to start 3 instances of a mission (Black Project is an exception to that since there is an easy way to start lots and lots of instances). I already did OMF0/Duping in quite a number of missions but third instance still confuses me. If it is even possible I would like to make videos titled "How to get triple rewards in ......", instead of just double. I did already used a girlfriend call in the mission Reuniting the Families to OMF0 it, but that was just because no storyline call is available at that point, so I had no other choice but to use it.

I haven't kept up with duping at all since the first few days it was found, but my understanding was that:

  1. You start sidemission thing with phone call
  2. You fail sidemission and start mission you want to dupe with phonecall
  3. Phonecall sets om0 so you start another mission Two copies made

If you try to start three copies...

  1. You start sidemission thing with phone call
  2. You want to dupe more than once, you start the sidemission when the sidemission ends
  3. Because you ended the previous sidemission you are now on ONE sidemission
  4. You make two copies, nothing has changed.

You need to be on a Sidemission + have phonecall active to dupe, you cannot start multiple sidemissions and have a phonecall to dupe twice.

The girlfriend phonecalls were different because I think they set om0 twice or something? I don't remember

I dont really get it, I know the failing the side mission while having a call will make OMF0 even if recieving a call, but then you will start the mission and will set OMF1, but then the call will end/cancel and it will set OMF0 again. I dont see how is that any different from using Quarry/trucking. Here is how I duped High Noon using Barbaras call, I didnt have the set OMF0 again after doing that, so I was not able to start a third instance:

The method is completely different.

  1. You start a mission with om=0 the way you know it. You cannot get another om0 call with missions (Trucking, etc.), now.

  2. What you can do is get another om0 call using a script. Scripts and missions co-exist peacefully, so you can start the script during any mission. The only script that can set om to 0 is the Valet parking pseudo-mission - not a mission. You start it with the gf call (more on that later), that gives you om=0 during Valet. Then you wait for a normal call, hold it and set om to 0 by failing Valet. Then you start the mission a second time, end the call to get om0, start a third time.

Starting Valet with om=0 - I have never done it. Try this: http://www.speedrun.com/post/6dvsu The situation has to be that the call "wants" to come in but it cannot because a mission has ended recently and you cannot get calls right after missions. So "the call has to wait" for some time and if in that waiting time you get om1, the call sets om to 0 again - it is a bug.

Play around with the timings and then try to apply that to the valet mission.

E: you havs not messaged me for a long time. ^^ Probably because I was not or less helpful. Feel free to ask again. ^^ I might work a bit on that HSLR cancelling thing this month - maybe, still busy with other gta things, as always in the last weeks, there is so much to do, still. :D

E2: you need an SF gf call, my bad. I think I cannot help you any more than the little in this post. I don't know if setting up a gf call is simple or if there are caveats I am not aware of.

Thanks Patrick! I dont think the HSLR will have any attention now, someone found how to make any indestructable vehicle failinig hunter Quarry during date with girlfriends in the hot coffee cutscene. I think most people wont care about 3 vehicles from HSLR now. But thanks for your help, this "research" I am doing is not related to unique vehicles, but about reaching 100%. :)
