[SOLVED] How do you make something happen when a file is deleted/moved?

Hello :D , I have a question.
How do you make something happen when a file is deleted/moved? My example would be ddlc, where the ends when monika.chr gets deleted. Any help would be useful.
Thanks for reading! Bye.

The easiest way is to periodically check for file existence. Like an invisible screen with a timer which jumps into part of the script you need as soon as it detects that file is not present.
