The secret location of CJ & Zero during Supply Lines

[zmoonchild]

 

This is not new, but i couldn't find a topic about it.

 

During the Zero mission Supply Lines, CJ & Zero are sitting in a Berkley's RC Van which is situated in the air hovering above Zero's RC Shop, very high up. This is similar to how Tommy sits inside the Top Fun van in Vice City, minus the hovering.

 

Here are the coordinates (copied from the MAIN.SCM):

00AB: put_car @35 at -2233.9  122.6  746.48

 

The van is positioned too high to get to it without mods.

Using a teleporter, I made a video showing the location:

The van appears to be BP/DP/EP/FP, but it loses those qualities once the mission is over (pass or fail).

 

I used another mod that forces all vehicles in the air to come crashing to the ground. It's called the Meteor Storm mod. The mod is meant to make all planes crash, but it also causes the van to come down. That's how I discovered it..

Here's another part of that video showing it crashing onto the rooftop of Zero's RC Shop:

After the mission is completed, the van can be safely driven back to a safe house garage and saved.

Here's another part of the video showing that:

I have also discovered that something very similar happens during the mission New Model Army, but I have not yet been able to figure out where CJ & Zero are located. Maybe someone else can figure that out. In that mission they may also be sitting in a Berkley's RC Van, but I cannot confirm that.

From a quick scan of the mission script, it looks like Zero exist only in the cinematic cut-scene. I can't find Zero as an actor anywhere in the mission.

 

It looks like CJ is locked in a BMX at -1004.097 1000.789 1349.749. He and the bike are linked to interior 10, "No Man's Land."

Nice find! This is also one of the causes (fixed in SilentPatch) of this mission glitching out map streaming, causing the city to be in low LOD. CJ's position is so high up that the game thinks the player is too far and loads everything erratically.

I love how we can still find out quirks and oddities about this game 15 years on. It never stops giving.

However this van can be obtained without mods/cheats.

You need to know use of om0
