Pause strats

Like the Vigilante pause glitch, you can force certain things to trigger faster by making the game think your car is stopped by pausing and unpausing.

These are some applications we have found:

All markers in Give Me Liberty/Luigi's Girls (can trigger Misty to walk too) Drive Misty For Me final marker The Fuzz Ball (one girl leaves each time you do it) Both Cipriani's Chaffeur markers Both Chaperone markers Cutting the Grass end marker Bomb da Base marker Last Requests boat marker The Getaway bank and final marker Two-Faced Tanner marker Kanbu Bust-Out final marker Deal Steal final marker (also to get the guy moving) Shima final marker Silence the Sneak window cutscene trigger Bling-Bling Scramble race start marker Liberator final marker Escort Service: can start the garage closing before the van stops Marked Man airport marker All Marty's missions - markers at the factory I Scream, You Scream marker (spawns Mafia guys, not really worth it though because drive-by is more inaccurate) Uzi rider initial cutscene (car must be close to its final stopping point (5.0 radius)) Uzi Rider final marker Rigged to Blow final marker Big 'N Veiny final marker Bullion Run garage drop off

In addition to this, pausing makes all your keys be released, so if you're holding W (or any key) and pause, you'll need to release W first before holding it again.

This is great.

This also works for picking up or dropping off Paramedic patients. Overall pretty useful since that particular drop off marker at the hospital can be annoying to trigger quickly.

I tested Paramedic and encountered this in level 11. Patients refuse to get in the back door

It's very useful but until this problem is figured out I won't do this during Paramedic in runs.

How to consistently get out of the car on the very first marker:

https://streamable.com/npham

notice that when i start driving, i buffer getting out of the car by pressing F. you need to press F while you are slow enough to buffer the exit action. so, do it after you start driving but before you gain a lot of speed.

buffering the exit car action works regardless of the pause strat, but you need it here because the marker doesn't trigger otherwise.

The buffer strat blacklev mentioned can also be applied for others missions such as:

Drive Misty For Me (just like pause strats, if you have a rampage running it's not faster to use it, but it gives you an extra second if you need it) Chaperone (for 100%) Cipriani's Chaffeur (same as Drive Misty, though it's faster if you can trigger the rampage earlier) Bomb da Base Silence the Sneak Two-Faced Tanner (Your vehicle will probably despawn) Deal Steal Shima Liberator
