🛠️ CleaningToolController

The CleaningToolController component is used on each tool prefab. It defines:

• The tool's type (Soap, Sponge, or Shower)

• When and how it adds progress to the ToolsManager

• Whether VFX should spawn only inside a defined action zone

📌 Tools are assigned to prefabs and spawned via ToolsManager.SpawnTool().

🍖 FoodToolController (Not used in this script but related)

The FoodToolController handles pet feeding logic:

• Spawns VFX while dragging food

• Detects collision with the pet model

• Increases pet hunger stat and plays feedback effects

Cleaning Flow Summary

1. Player selects a tool (via ToolsManager.SpawnTool())

2. Progress is added using AddProgress(CleaningToolType, delta)

3. Each step completes when the progress reaches 100%

4. Final step rewards EXP and updates hygiene stat

This component works tightly with PetModel, CleaningToolController, and UI elements to deliver interactive pet cleaning gameplay.
