</>What does Toggle Collecting (No Holding) do?
In Playrooms the hand vacuum only sucks up balls and the shovel only sweeps while you keep the use button held down. In a big room that is a long time to hold a button, and it wears on your hand. With this mod on, one press of the use button starts the tool you have out and it keeps going on its own. The next press stops it. The tool works exactly as it does when you hold the button: the same suction, the same sweep, the same tank. It lets go by itself whenever the game takes your hands off the controls: the pause menu, any other popup or the office computer opening, or alt-tabbing out of the game window. It also lets go when the tank fills, when you swap tools or pick something up, and when you leave the save. Doors, carrying and throwing on that button work as they always have. Switch it off and the tools go back to working while you hold the button.
</>What is Toggle Collecting (No Holding)?
Playrooms runs its ball-collecting tools only while the use button is held. This mod makes that button a toggle: press once to start, press again to stop. Menus and a full tank still stop the tool, and the rest of the button's jobs are untouched.
</>Common questions about Toggle Collecting (No Holding)
What does Toggle Collecting (No Holding) do in Playrooms?
It changes how the use button drives the hand vacuum and the shovel. Normally they only work while you hold the button. With the mod on, a single press starts the tool and it keeps running hands-free until you press the button a second time to stop it. The suction, the sweep and the tank are the game's own, so collecting feels and pays the same; only the holding is gone. If your hand gets tired or sore from long cleaning sessions, or a held button is hard for you to manage, this takes the holding away.
Does the vacuum keep running when I open the pause menu or the PC?
No. The moment the pause menu, any other popup or the office PC comes up, the tool stops, just as if you had let go of the button. The same happens if you alt-tab away from the game. Press the button again once you are back in control to restart it.
What happens when the tank is full?
The vacuum refuses more balls as it always does, and the mod releases it, so you are not left with a stuck press waiting for you. Upload or empty the tank, then press the use button once more and collecting carries on by itself.
Does it change anything else on the use button?
No. Opening doors, picking up and carrying objects and throwing them all behave as they do without the mod. Only the two tools that the game runs while the button is held down are changed, and only while the mod's switch is on.
How do I go back to holding the button?
Switch the mod off in the ProjectMods launcher. If a tool was running on a single press at that moment, it stops straight away, and from then on both tools only work while the use button is held, as in the normal game.
What options does Toggle Collecting (No Holding) include?
Toggle Collecting (No Holding)
Press the use button once to start the hand vacuum or the shovel and press it again to stop, instead of holding it down. The tool also stops when the pause menu, a popup or the office PC opens. Switch it off and you hold the button again, as normal.
Toggle Collecting (No Holding) is a ProjectMods mod for Playrooms that makes the use button a toggle for the two ball-collecting tools: one press starts the vacuum or the shovel, the next press stops it.
