SIMULATE_PROBE(1)

✨ NAME ✨

simulate_probe — bestie, it literally simulates a probe input 💖

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

simulate_probe

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so simulate_probe is giving main character energy in the simplest way possible: it makes an on-screen GUI button that pretends to be touch probe input. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💅

you'll usually catch it hanging out in sim configs or doing its little debugging era. like, when you need to fake a probe touch without actually touching anything? yeah. this. no cap. ✨
