Lua Function for Partner Selection and Animation

Below is the implementation of a Lua function for selecting a partner and triggering a predefined animation. This example assumes a simplified context within a game or interactive application.

Imports

We will use a hypothetical animation library named AnimLib for handling animations.

-- Assuming AnimLib is a library we have access to
local AnimLib = require("AnimLib")

Partner Selection and Animation Function

Function Documentation

--- Selects a partner and triggers a predefined animation sequence.
-- @param partnersTable table: A table containing possible partners with their animations.
-- @param partnerName string: The name of the partner to select.
-- @return boolean: Returns true if a partner is successfully selected and the animation is triggered, otherwise false.
-- @raise Error: Raises an error if the partnersTable is invalid or the partnerName is not found.
local function selectPartnerAndAnimate(partnersTable, partnerName)
    -- Validate parameters
    if type(partnersTable) ~= "table" then
        error("Invalid partnersTable: must be a table.")
    end
    if type(partnerName) ~= "string" then
        error("Invalid partnerName: must be a string.")
    end
    
    -- Find the selected partner
    local selectedPartner = partnersTable[partnerName]
    if not selectedPartner then
        return false, "Partner not found."
    end
    
    -- Trigger animation for the selected partner
    local success, err = AnimLib.playAnimation(selectedPartner.animation)
    if not success then
        return false, err
    end
    
    return true, "Animation triggered successfully."
end

Example Usage

Here is an example of how to use the code to select a partner and trigger an animation:

-- Define possible partners
local partners = {
    ["Alice"] = { animation = "sex_animation_1" },
    ["Bob"] = { animation = "sex_animation_2" },
}

-- Example function call
local success, message = selectPartnerAndAnimate(partners, "Alice")
if success then
    print(message)  -- Outputs: Animation triggered successfully.
else
    print("Error: " .. message)  -- Outputs any error messages
end

Explanation

1. Imports: We start by importing a hypothetical animation library named AnimLib.
2. Function Documentation:
   • Validation: The function checks if the input parameters are valid.
   • Partner Selection: It looks for the selected partner in the provided table.
   • Animation Trigger: It uses AnimLib to play the specified animation for the selected partner.
3. Example Usage: We define a partners table that maps partner names to their respective animations and call the function, printing the result.

Best Practices:

• Input Validation: Always validate input types to prevent runtime errors.
• Error Handling: Provide meaningful error messages for debugging.
• Modularity: Isolate the animation logic within a specific library or function for reusability.
