Hello,
when a player deletes, the lua file is not deleted. What do I need to do in order to delete the associated lua file?

deleting pfiles

Well, in the player directories is the additional .lua file, for example:
In the do_destroy function in act_wiz.c you would add a bit of code to delete (or, probably, rename) that as well.
Admin Admin.lua

Not seeing where it exactly deletes the pfile.
if( !rename( buf, buf2 ) )
It is renaming it from PLAYER_DIR to BACKUP_DIR (see the snprintf further up), so there is still a copy in case you do it by mistake.
So you could probably repeat the operation with the player name with .lua at the end of it.
so:
then:
Would that work?
snprintf( buf3, MAX_STRING_LENGTH, "%s%c/%s.lua", PLAYER_DIR, tolower( arg[0] ), name );
then:
if( !rename( buf3, buf2 ) )
{
AREA_DATA *pArea;
set_char_color( AT_RED, ch );
ch_printf( ch, "Player %s.lua destroyed. Lua Pfile saved in backup directory.\r\n", name );
snprintf( buf, MAX_STRING_LENGTH, "%s%s", GOD_DIR, name );
if( !remove( buf3 ) )
send_to_char( "Player's immortal data destroyed.\r\n", ch );
else if( errno != ENOENT )
{
ch_printf( ch, "Unknown error #%d - %s (immortal data). Report to www.smaugfuss.org\r\n", errno,
strerror( errno ) );
snprintf( buf2, MAX_STRING_LENGTH, "%s destroying %s.lua", ch->name, buf3 );
perror( buf2 );
}
snprintf( buf2, MAX_STRING_LENGTH, "%s.are", name );
for( pArea = first_build; pArea; pArea = pArea->next )
if( !str_cmp( pArea->filename, buf2 ) )
{
snprintf( buf, MAX_STRING_LENGTH, "%s%s", BUILD_DIR, buf2 );
if( IS_SET( pArea->status, AREA_LOADED ) )
fold_area( pArea, buf3, FALSE );
close_area( pArea );
snprintf( buf2, MAX_STRING_LENGTH, "%s.bak", buf );
set_char_color( AT_RED, ch ); /* Log message changes colors */
if( !rename( buf, buf2 ) )
send_to_char( "Player's area data destroyed. Area saved as backup.\r\n", ch );

Would that work?
Well not exactly, that would rename the .lua file but leave the original player file there. You need to do 2 renames.
Well, that's what I meant. I'd have the first rename with the first buf, then have a second rename with the third buf. I could probably take out the imm stuff and area stuff as well to make it smaller.
This is what I came up with. Feel free to use it. It deletes the lua file in the player_dir and places it in the backup_dir.
