Can someone please help me with my lua script.

[ConnorJ]

Hello, I'm trying to make a small questing hub for my girlfriend when she goes on my private server and I wanted some npc's to automatically say stuff when you go within range of them, kind of like the begger in stormwind. I looked at a guide on internet on how to do such a script and what I came up with is

function FarmerGriffith_OnCombat(Unit, Event)
Unit:SendChatMessage(12, 0, "Hey, Can you please help me?")
end

function FarmerGriffith_OnLeaveCombat(Unit, Event)
Unit:RemoveEvents()
end

function FarmerGriffith_OnKilledTarget(Unit, Event)
end

function FarmerGriffith_OnDied(Unit, Event)
Unit:RemoveEvents()
end

RegisterUnitEvent(20123, 1, "FarmerGriffith_OnCombat")
RegisterUnitEvent(20123, 2, "FarmerGriffith_OnLeaveCombat")
RegisterUnitEvent(20123, 3, "FarmerGriffith_OnKilledTarget")
RegisterUnitEvent(20123, 4, "FarmerGriffith_OnDied")

I don't know if it will work, can any good lua scripters tell me if this will do what I want it to, and how I can add it into my server, I have MySQL and I'm using ArcEmu.

Thanks in advance.

Something like this:

function FarmerGriffith_Events(Unit, Event)
	if Event == 18 then -- if spawned
		Unit:RegisterEvent("SendChatMessage_NearbyPlayers", 1000, 0)
	else -- if died
		Unit:RemoveEvents()
	end
end

function ResetEvent(Unit)
	Unit:RegisterEvent("SendChatMessage_NearbyPlayers", 1000, 0)
end

function SendChatMessage_NearbyPlayers(Unit)
	local found = false
	for _,v in pairs(Unit:GetInRangePlayers()) do -- for each nearby player, as the variable: v
		if Unit:GetDistanceYards(v) < 40 and v:IsAlive() then -- if within 40 yards of unit and alive then
			found = true -- say we found a nearby player
			break -- we don't need to find another player so stop looping through all nearby players
		end
	end
	if found then -- we found a player
		Unit:SendChatMessage(12, 0, "Hey, Can you please help me?")
		Unit:RemoveEvents() -- stop this being sent every second
		Unit:RegisterEvent("ResetEvent", 60000, 1) -- start checking every second again in 1 minute
	end
end

RegisterUnitEvent(20123, 4, "FarmerGriffith_Events") -- on dead
RegisterUnitEvent(20123, 18, "FarmerGriffith_Events") -- on spawn
