weird "bug" that I noticed with tow truck

[Carbohydrated Caretaker]

So I got a mission to get to stabcity to get a Zion but i thought that was way too far for a meh car so I decided to use a cargobob instead

I found the car, pick it up and flew all the way near the chop shop to tow it to the shop. btw the map still wants you to go to the location.

once I entered the shop I got the pop up that I delivered the Zion BUT the mission is actually still going. if you exit the shop you can't go back in until the timer is over so I waited about half an hour and got the pop up again saying Zion delivery completed.
BUT the car isn't in the shop and you are allowed to source another one.

sooooo basically don't use cargobob i guess lol.

I haven't messed with the tow truck yet, but can it be returned to the scrap yard like moon pool vehicles on the Kosatka? Cause it sounds like there's a trigger point that needs to be activated by using the tow truck.. but if returning the tow truck works, you might be able to try this:

Drive Tow Truck out to car and trigger the waypoint.
Request your cargobob and drive over to it.
Return your Tow Truck and use Cargobob to move car near scrap yard.
Get Tow Truck and pick up the locally dropped off car and return to the yard.

If that feels like to much, then just get'r done.. cause that's the only thing I can think to circumvent their mission checkpoints/requirements..

it can only be used in missions so it gets disabled when mission over

I'm talking during the mission.. if it can be returned, the method suggested might be slightly faster/easier.. but if it can't be returned, then there's no point and might as well drive roundtrip.. otherwise you gotta make a 2nd trip to go back to pick up the tow truck..

nah cause its like the ceo buzzard when you retire its gone, the game handles the despawning of the model since it can only be used for its mission

Once I'm off work, I'll check it out and if it works, I'll show you what I mean..

I doubt you can call the tow truck. it only can be used when you drive it in or out during missions only. it doesn't have a call function even on mission im pretty sure.

I never said call the tow truck.. I specifically said drive it out there to trigger the waypoint then return it.. once you deliver the car with the cargobob, you get the truck from the scrap yard and haul the car the short distance left..

but you cant return it since its a mission vehicle not a service vehicle listed under interaction menu

theres a video on reddit showing the player pushing the car hes supposed to tow into the water so he can use tow truck in freeroam and the mission fails and player gets locked out of the tow truck

It can't be returned.. so the rest is moot and irrelevant.. doesn't look like there's a way you can cargobob it..
