How to make NPC do something BEFORE greeting the player?

[Xapafe]

Let's say if my player storage value is 999, how can I make an NPC check for this and do the reaction before saying hello?

For example, if you go upstairs in the monastery on the isle of the kings then Costello will immediately yell at you when you say hi. But the way I have it setup now is that he will yell at you after you first say hi, then say anything else.


This is OTHire


Any thoughts?

You do that in the greetings function, just return hes yelling message and release the focus.
I cannot provide you an example right now, but should be easy to figure out how to do.

Opps I forgot to mention this is OTHire.. if that matters. The greetings are handled in the NPC xml files

<parameter key="message_greet" value="Hello."/>

Silly me thought I could just delete that and force it through the lua file, but nope. It has a default greet if the parameter is missing.
