NPC game multi-action lua script design

Question

I need to put script NPC in my currect game project. The project itself was developed in C ++. I will use Luabind to bind lua and C ++.

I need to call an NPC function when a specific NPC or timer is activated in order to do something. I am currently stuck between two NPC script projects.

• Using the npcname_action view to differentiate each NPC.
  It is kind of troublesome to give a name to every other NPC.
  I am still thinking how to implement this in my project.
  Example:

  HotelBellboy12_Click() { .. }  
  HotelBellboy12_TimerAction() { .. }
  

• Using the function name.
  Each npc has its own lua file.
  I am thinking of loading a script into memory and, if necessary, loading into luaStateusing luaL_loadbuffer
  Example:

  OnClick() { .. }
  OnTimerAction() { .. }
  

?
