Seeking best scripting solution for avoiding strapon during kissing

[Wodo]

Hi,

I'm working on writing an SL + SLA mod.  Right now the general design is a simplistic romance mod for a female PC that can raise or lower a NPC's relationship rank.  Going on a date has a small chance of improvement.  Kissing, better chance.  Making out, even better.  Sex has the best chance.  Also, going on a "date" and then telling the NPC "I changed my mind" will have a chance to decrease the relationship rank.

 

In such a world, "first base" would be clothed kissing.  If the NPC is a female (and the PC is also female), either wearing a strap-on is rather "forward" which is inconsistent with design.  However, as their relationship progresses, it makes sense for either the NPC or PC to wear a strap-on for MF animations.  Note: the only kissing animation(s) I'm using are tagged "MF,Kissing,Leito" and all the kissing animations I've seen by Leito (2 of them thus far) make sense when clothed.

 

If I configure SL to have one of the females use a strap-on for MF animations, I end up with a strap-on in the clothed kissing animation, which is silly.  I tried unequipping the strap-on when the animation starts but it gets re-equipped at the start of each stage.  If I unequip at the start of each stage, the strap-on appears, disappears, appears, disappears, appears, disappears.  That's even more silly.

 

So, if I configure SL to not use the strap-on and then direct SL to equip a strap-on only for ML sex when both actors are female, this works perfectly for my mod.

 

However, I suspect my solution will break immersion for mods such as SL Defeat where it makes a lot of sense for an aggressive female to use a strap-on.

 

I'm asking if anyone has advice that would lead me to a solution that both supports my design (no strap-on while kissing) but also doesn't break other mods that expect strap-ons to work if the user wants them working.

Just edit the bool UseStrapons in sslSystemConfig (accessible via SexLab.Config.UseStrapons) to false whenever you want to start a scene. Then reset it back to whatever the user had it set to after your scene ends.

Thank you.  That solution works well.
