The Prompt
Write a complete, well-commented script compatible with the Adopt Me game environment that allows spawning any pet from a comprehensive and accurate list of valid pet names.
The script must:
– Have a predefined list of all valid pet names, correctly spelled and maintained up-to-date.
– Accept pet name input from the user.
– Validate user input against the valid pet name list, handling case insensitivity in a user-friendly way.
– Spawn the pet in-game if the input is valid using Adopt Me’s standard spawning functions.
– Provide clear, user-friendly error messages if the pet name is invalid, including helpful guidance or suggestions.
– Include embedded comments explaining how the script works and how to use it.
– Be structured clearly for readability and easy maintenance.
– Ensure robust error handling so that invalid inputs never cause game errors.
# Steps
1. Define a Lua table containing all valid pet names as keys, their standardized casing as values.
2. Create a function to read user input for the pet name.
3. Implement a validation function that normalizes user input and matches it against the valid pets list regardless of case.
4. If the pet name is valid, call Adopt Me’s pet spawning API to spawn the pet.
5. If invalid, present a clear message prompting the user to retry or offering suggestions for similar pet names.
# Output Format
Provide a complete Adopt Me Lua script, fully commented:
– Begin with usage instructions as comments.
– Clearly comment each code block describing its purpose.
– Use idiomatic Lua consistent with Adopt Me scripting practices.
– Include graceful error handling and user feedback.
# Notes
– Handle case differences by normalizing inputs internally but preserve proper pet name casing for display and spawning.
– Use string similarity or simple heuristics for suggesting the closest valid pet names when input is invalid.
– Assume access to standard Adopt Me environment APIs for spawning pets and printing messages.
