Default Lua / Perl events for character creation / deletion

Hi all!

I want to have scripts run only once on character creation and only once on character deletion. Right now I have a workaround for character creation involving data buckets flagging whether or not initialization has been done on a character, but I don't have a solution for clearing this data out when a character is deleted.

Am I missing a way to do it currently? If not, could we get this functionality?

Thank you very much!

Only way to do it would be to run a query based on what characters have been deleted versus the data buckets table.

Here's some database call example syntax for you to work with, this should work out of box from a vanilla install of EQEmu Server

Code:
$query = "SELECT
	COUNT(id) as count
	FROM
	character_data
	WHERE
	(character_data.last_login > UNIX_TIMESTAMP() - 600)
	and zone_instance = ?";

$ex = plugin::LoadMysql()->prepare($query);
$ex->execute($realm_instance);
while (@row = $ex->fetchrow_array()){
    return $row[0];
}
Here are some other examples too to help you out

Code:
#::: Guild Online Messages :: Only for mains
if ($uguild_id > 0) {
	$query = "
		SELECT
		guild_members.char_id
		FROM
		guild_members
		WHERE alt = 0
		and char_id = ?
	";
	$ex = plugin::LoadMysql()->prepare($query); 
	$ex->execute($client->CharacterID()); 
	while (@row = $ex->fetchrow_array()) {
		quest::gmsay("[Guild] " . $client->GetCleanName() . " is now online", 15, 1, $uguild_id, 0); 
	}
}

#::: Friend online messages
$query = "
	SELECT
	character_data.name
	FROM
	friends
	INNER JOIN character_data ON friends.charid = character_data.id
	WHERE 
	friends.name = ? 
	and friends.type = 1
	and (character_data.last_login > UNIX_TIMESTAMP() - 600)
";
$ex = plugin::LoadMysql()->prepare($query); 
$ex->execute($client->GetCleanName()); 
while (@row = $ex->fetchrow_array()) { 
	quest::crosszonemessageplayerbyname(15, $row[0], "[Friend] " . $client->GetCleanName() . " is now online");
}
