you're probably looking for something like this:

if ($faction >= 6) {
    quest::shout2("Hey, $name. I'm going to hunt you down... make you pay. There is a bounty on your head.");
}
else {
    quest::shout2("$name, I ain't looking fer you today... move along.");
}

EVENT_ENTER only works when the client enters a set proximity to the npc, not when they enter the zone.

if you're wanting to check when a player enters the zone, you'll need to use EVENT_ENTERZONE in that zone's player.pl script. you should be able to check faction using $client->GetCharacterFactionLevel(), $client->GetFactionLevel(), or $client->GetModCharacterFactionLevel().

Yep!.. great, thanks a lot!, I know I'm not brilliant with perl.. (still a bit of a noob actually)!
So I value any hints! its nice to have a great support from this forum, my players and I salute you all
