Octoprint activated pause and resume gcode not working with Prusaslicer
I'm looking to make use of the pause and resume gcode scripting available through Octoprint to perform filament changes. Seems to work great for Cura but Prusaslicer seems to really dislike it. With Cura using absolute extrusion and Prusaslicer using relative I attempted to make some changes but seem to have the same problem. The position restarts as it should but it just seems to draw inconsistent filament in dots and shows large retracts as it returns to the print. I don't have access to the source firmware on this printer so this is a great option to add this ability without needing it which is why I'm going this route. M600 doesnt do anything here right now when running with Octoprint.
Does anyone happen to have a script they use in Octoprint for pause and resume that actually continues extrusion when resume is pressed?
Also a bit confused how to use the code blocks on the forum or I would post what I've tried any tips with taht would be appreciated as well.

Paste the code in as normal text, highlight it, then press the button with the double angle brackets (<>) to highlight it as code.

Thank you for that tip although I still seem to be failing at this lol.
This is my starting gcode in case its needed for context:
M104 S160 ; set extruder to a temporary high enough temp
M140 S[first_layer_bed_temperature] ; set bed temp
M190 S[first_layer_bed_temperature] ; wait for bed temp
M109 S160 ; wait for extruder temporary high enough temp
