GTASA - Burglary ski mask affects CJ's walking speed during cutscenes

[Kendog37]

This is something I recently noticed, and I'm wondering if this screws up any cutscene, like the ones where CJ gets in a vehicle and potentially soft locks them. This does not seem to affect the cutscene with non-scripted (if this is the right words) and/or possibly loto scoped character animations.

 

In case you don't know, you can keep the burglary ski mask by starting the Burglary mission, enter the safe house wardrobe, select remove special clothing option, wait for the mission to fail by running out of time, then cancel the removal. Works on iOS at least.

Don't quote me on this, but I believe some cutscenes are scripted in such a way that allows for some deviations in player movements. I haven't tested the ski mask, but there have been cutscenes where CJ's (or another character's) movements have been hampered by environmental changes such as car crashes. The cutscenes play out a little longer than they should do, which is a little disconcerting when you've seen them hundreds of times, but I haven't had much in the way of softlocks to my knowledge. It would be interesting to see though.

Oh yeah... now that you mentioned that, I remember I could soft lock some, or at least one cutscene, namely the End of the Line part 1 ending when CJ is escaping the exploding crack palace, by simply entering the jetpack cheat. When the cheat gets entered, CJ will equip the jetpack and just stand there inside the entrance, unable to move. Too bad I can't test this on mobile, as I don't have any ways to enter the cheat codes, but I assume this was caused because CJ couldn't do or reach whatever he's supposed to do to trigger the next scene/actions. I think similar thing would happen in a type of cutscene where CJ's entering a vehicle triggers the next part.

 

It would be pretty funny if CJ's slow walking speed causes him to miss the vehicle during a cutscene just like in N64 Goldeneye 007, with turbo cheat on-hopefully without soft locking the game:)
