Valet parking mission

[Steve Crook]

Are you ever annoyed by the valet parking mission? It's a bit tedious but not too difficult. Although it can be made harder by the way that another car appears for parking as you come up the ramp from the garage and another valet has taken it by the time you get there. This means that you have to hang around until the next car turns up, which can sometimes be a while. I've never actually run out of time on it but sometimes it's been close.

 

Well this time when I did it I thought I'd eliminate the competition and kill off the other valets

 

You get a 20 second penalty for every valet you kill off, but that's not much of a penalty. Occasionally you'll get a wanted star as well, especially if you kill them outside the garage and a cop is nearby. But it's worth it.

 

As every new level starts, a new valet appears - but it's easy to get rid of him as well.

 

The advantage is that it means that every time you come back to the pick-up point there's a car waiting to be parked and you don't have to hang about

hmmm, nice find. didn't know about that

 

but it's actually an easy mission. i was able to pass it w/o any problem

I've never had a problem whit this sub-mission set.

Having CJ run to the pickup point he always gets there before the other valet takes the available car.

 

Ok I miss stated that. Once and only once in 28 replays CJ accidently ran over another valet and got a want status because a Cop was driving by.

I thought that was blatantly obvious? I always do that.

Even so, it is not as though you'll fail the mission because a valet picked up your waiting car....

More always come. It seems to me that you do not have much patience.

I used to have quite a problem with no cars spawning to be parked and failing because of it - it's been a while. I wonder if it makes a difference which script version is used. I seem to remember that killing off all of the other valets caused more problems than it solved - like that was what was causing no new cars to appear. One strategy that helped a lot is to bring a car up from the garage, or grab them out of traffic, park it for the other valet to park, and parking it so it was difficult for the driver to get out of the lot or blocking it with another vehicle.
