Set Pre-Luclin Face from Lua

Hello!

I had the idea of adding variability to NPC names and appearances without having to make many near-duplicate NPC types; the following code works for randomizing on spawn the name and sex of an NPC, but I want to also randomize the pre-Luclin face of the NPC. I can't find a function that does this. Am I missing something or is there no way to do this from Lua at the moment?

Code:

names = { "Guard Williams", "Guard Malone", "Guard Baxter" };



function event_spawn(e)

        e.self:ChangeGender(math.random(0,1));

        e.self:TempName(names[math.random(1,#names)]);

        -- How can I randomize pre-Luclin face?

end

Thank you very much!

I cannot assist with LUA, sorry. However, for those that may be curious to the Perl equivalent.

Code:

sub EVENT_SPAWN

{

        @name_list = ("Guard Williams", "Guard Malone", "Guard Baxter"); ## can add as many as you'd like without any further changes to code

        quest::npcgender(quest::ChooseRandom(0..1));

        $npc->TempName($name_list[quest::ChooseRandom(0..$#name_list)]);

        ## $npc->SendIllusion(x,x,x,x,x,a); to affect face change a (for Perl, unknown for LUA sorry)

}
