Lua NPC questions (8.54)

[Tekno92]

Hi thar. I've got several questions I'd like to ask you about NPCs and the functions.

1. What should I type if I want the NPC to speak on his own (no need to say 'hi')
2. What to do if I want the NPC to react on 'hi' but don't focus on the player (and don't say that I'm rude if I walk away)

All answers will be appreciated!

1.Heres example of Towncryer that yells on his own ;p

 local keywordHandler = KeywordHandler:new()
local npcHandler = NpcHandler:new(keywordHandler)
NpcSystem.parseParameters(npcHandler)
 
-- OTServ event handling functions start
function onCreatureAppear(cid)                          npcHandler:onCreatureAppear(cid) end
function onCreatureDisappear(cid)                       npcHandler:onCreatureDisappear(cid) end
function onCreatureSay(cid, type, msg)  npcHandler:onCreatureSay(cid, type, msg) end
function onThink()                                              npcHandler:onThink() end
-- OTServ event handling functions end
 
npcHandler:setCallback(CALLBACK_ONTHINK, thinkCallback)
npcHandler:addModule(FocusModule:new())
 
function onThink()
talk = math.random(1,100)
        if talk == 1 then
                doCreatureSay(getNpcCid(), "Hear me! Hear me! The mage Wyrdin in the Edron academy is looking for brave adventurers to undertake a task!", TALKTYPE_YELL)
        elseif talk == 50 then
                doCreatureSay(getNpcCid(), "Hear me! Hear me! The postmaster's guild has open spots for aspiring postmen! Contact Kevin Postner at the post office in the plains south of Kazordoon!", TALKTYPE_YELL)
        elseif talk == 100 then
                doCreatureSay(getNpcCid(), "Hear me! Hear me! The inquisition is looking for daring people to fight evil! Apply at the inquisition headquarters next to the Thaian jail!", TALKTYPE_YELL)
        end
        npcHandler:onThink()
end 
npcHandler:setCallback(CALLBACK_MESSAGE_DEFAULT, creatureSayCallback)
npcHandler:addModule(FocusModule:new())

2. to remove farewell message you can remove this line in the npc's xml file

        <parameter key="message_farewell" value="Good bye, |PLAYERNAME|!"/>

Thanks! There's one more thing, the NPC does not say anything in return but I want him not to focus myself, I would just say Hi and he would answer but without stopping, I'll try to find this like myself, thanks a lot!

I think it is configureable dependingon what npc ;p
