My tots love their little piano, they no longer need to be told to play it.

Hi!! I love this so far, it's super cute and I love the designs. However, I've noticed some issues regarding autonomy in households with multiple toddlers. If one toddler is using the piano, it doesn't seem to register as being in use, and other toddlers will keep trying to use it as well. This wouldn't be a problem if they just went up to the piano, noticed it was in use and then dropped the action from their queue to do something else, but instead both toddlers glitch out and the game tries to make them both play the piano at once. This leads to neither of them actually playing it or even having the interaction in their queue for me to cancel, while still having the piano be flagged as in use in build/buy mode. I used testingcheats to force error on both the toddlers and stuck the piano in one of their inventories for now. I haven't noticed any other major issues, but I'm probably going to put a piano in a household with just one toddler to see if it works there too.

Also, this is a pretty minor complaint, but I feel like the animations for the arms/hands when they play the piano are a little bit too slow? I don't know if it'd be possible to speed up the animations, though, and it's not too big of a deal anyhow.

Ok I fixed it @dairyprince and thanks for the report! I actually used my standard toddler toy test bhav that generally works, and didn't actually test it. I did not realize I forgot to set the flag, so the in use flag was doing nothing. I also very slightly sped up the speed on the animation, as I was debating whether it was fast enough myself, and your vote tipped it for me. I wouldn't have bothered if I hadn't had to fix something else however! Feel free to volunteer to be a tester for my next project

I'm having a problem with the piano. It keeps staying flagged as in use after my toddler has left it. I know it's in use because if I try to delete it, it tells me that I can't delete an object in use. It seems to happen randomly. One time it happened before he'd even touched it. Other times he's got in a few plays before it becomes unusable.

If you wait a bit, it clears. I think it is because I told it it was in use until the very end. I have experienced this as well but gave it a few sim minutes and it cleared. I looked at it after it happened to me, couldn't see anything to cause it, went back in and waited a bit, then it became usable. For some reason the flag isn't resetting right away but am not sure why. If they start to go to use it autonomously and get interrupted before actually using it, it does the same thing. Give it a few sim minutes in game and it straightens out. Meantime if I can figure out how to shorten the wait time til the flag resets, I will.

Edited to say that I think I figured it out. I had to add a special flag to make it show as in use properly, because for some reason it didn't use the normal format (because the potty chair had it built in its interactions in a different way than other items) and what I did is, I forgot to include the special flag that clears it immediately as well, which means it was taking a bit to realize it wasn't in use any more. However I am going to test it some more tonight, with twins, to make certain it doesn't mess anything up with the in use flag when others are using it (it shouldn't but better safe than sorry ) before I upload it

Some days my thinking cap is on tighter than others. Other days, my thinking cap goes on holiday with my brain and they both leave me behind. :P

Tested and updated the file.
