Chat Message

[TextDynasty]

Is there any way to identify chat message?

 Like if people say hi to you and you will say hi or hello?

Like Dr. McKay said, you can use the event friendOrChatMessage to find out if someone send you a message, so you can respond to them.

 

I have the other method friendMessage, which will only send something back when you get a message from a friend.

// When we get a message, send back a response and log to console
client.on("friendMessage", function(steamID, message) {
		console.log("Friend message from " + steamID+ ": " + message);
		if (message == "Ping") {
			client.chatMessage(steamID, "Pong");
			console.log("Send back: Pong");
		} else {
			client.chatMessage(steamID, config.greetMsg);
			console.log("Send back the standard reply");
		}
	});
});

When your bot gets the message 'Ping' it will send back 'Pong'.

If your bot gets a different message, it will respond with a standard reply which you should create in your config.json file.

 

If you want more reply options, I'd suggest creating a switch statement with several cases.

Thanks for the explanation.
