How can I edit/override a local function in SGWilson?

[. . .]

There's something I really dislike that characters now forcefully enter the talking state after a state ends if text is above their head if they talked in the previous state.

I think I found the functions which cause it in SGWilson

local function StopTalkSound(inst, instant)
    if not instant and inst.endtalksound ~= nil and inst.SoundEmitter:PlayingSound("talk") then
        inst.SoundEmitter:PlaySound(inst.endtalksound)
    end
    inst.SoundEmitter:KillSound("talk")
end

local function CancelTalk_Override(inst, instant)
	if inst.sg.statemem.talktask ~= nil then
		inst.sg.statemem.talktask:Cancel()
		inst.sg.statemem.talktask = nil
		StopTalkSound(inst, instant)
	end
end

local function OnTalk_Override(inst)
	CancelTalk_Override(inst, true)
	if DoTalkSound(inst) then
		inst.sg.statemem.talktask = inst:DoTaskInTime(1.5 + math.random() * .5, CancelTalk_Override)
	end
	return true
end

local function OnDoneTalking_Override(inst)
	CancelTalk_Override(inst)
	return true
end

but I have no idea how I can edit these since they are local. If anyone can help guide me how I can edit these to ideally make them empty or return nothing it would be really wonderful !

Thanks for reading and your time, have a good day!

debug.setupvalue(func, index, value)

@LeafyFly

hello! thanks for the reply and sorry for the very late reply back, but how exactly would I use this? would it be like

debug.setupvalue(StopTalkSound, IDK, nil) ?

The debug library allows you to modify local variables and functions, though it's rather complicated to use directly, there are some libraries making things easier like this one by Rezecib: https://github.com/rezecib/Rezecib-s-Rebalance/blob/master/scripts/tools/upvaluehacker.lua
