1. I am using the latest version of "steam-user", 4.25.0

2. Yes, this is a better implementation, thank you

3. Tried to do this, but now every time at the first run of checkOnline() instead of nonexisting data I receive timeouts, one per every receiver, at the second run everything is fine again. So, I guess, I`ll stuck with setTimeout().  Example of code:

    client.on('loggedOn', function () {
      console.log("Logged into Steam as " + client.steamID.getSteam3RenderedID());
      client.setPersona(SteamUser.EPersonaState.Online)
      client.on('user', function (sid, user) {
        // should be enough because Steam emits it only if this client instance's persona state is online
        if (Object.values(user).includes('link-to-bot-profile-picture.jpg')) {
          checkOnline()
        }
      })
    });

Example of timeout:

Error: Request timed out
    at Timeout._onTimeout (C:\Users\Andrew\WebstormProjects\Notif-steam-bot\node_modules\@doctormckay\stdlib\components\promises.js:17:12)
    at listOnTimeout (node:internal/timers:559:17)
    at processTimers (node:internal/timers:502:7)

 

1. That`s the funny thing, I don`t understand why, but when personas is before err, it is just logging into console all the data instead of errors, like:

{
  '22222222222222222': {
    rich_presence: [],
    persona_state: 3,
    game_played_app_id: 0,
...etc
  }
}

The only way it works correctly in this order is like this, the problem still persists :

client.getPersonas([receivers[i]], function (personas, err) {
  if (personas) {
    console.log(personas)
  } else {
    let data = err[receivers[i]].persona_state

 

2. Actually in the real code I am fetching data row by row from sqlite database, checking for each row a column wasMessagedToday, if it is false, then calling getPersonas() and if messaged successfully, updating wasMessagedToday value in database to true. Maybe there is a better way, but I am an absolute newbie in database stuff.

3. Thank you, thank you!!! I`ve tried already few ways to delay time including setTimeout(checkOnline, 2000) after setting persona to Online, but it wasn`t working. Tried now to increase the delay to 10 seconds and now data from getPersonas() is correct at every run! I guess Steam is really slow with status updates. So the fix looks like this:

    client.on('loggedOn', function () {
      console.log("Logged into Steam as " + client.steamID.getSteam3RenderedID());
      client.setPersona(SteamUser.EPersonaState.Online)
      setTimeout(checkOnline, 10000);
    });

 

 

 

I am trying to create a program, which every specified ammount of time sends a message to my steam friends, if conditions are met. The thing is that I call messaging function after setting bot status to Online, but at the first run client.getPersonas() returns all the users data, like the bot`s persona is offline (most parameters are null or 0). Everything works fine at second and subsequent runs of checkOnline(). Please, I am almost sure this is because of some stupid mistake, but I cannot find this mistake for two days already. Please tell me, where I messed up. Simplified code below.

steam-user v4.25.0

import SteamUser from "steam-user";
import SteamTotp from "steam-totp";

const receivers = [
  '11111111111111111', //IDs for example
  '22222222222222222',
]

function main() {
  const client = new SteamUser();
  function steamLogin() {
    client.logOn({
      "accountName": process.env.accountName,
      "password": process.env.password,
      twoFactorCode: SteamTotp.generateAuthCode(process.env.twoFactorCode)
    });
    client.on('loggedOn', function () {
      console.log("Logged into Steam as " + client.steamID.getSteam3RenderedID());
      client.setPersona(SteamUser.EPersonaState.Online)
      checkOnline() //calling the second function
    });
  }

  function checkOnline() {
    for (let i = 0; i < receivers.length; i++) {
      client.getPersonas([receivers[i]], function (personas, err) {
        if (err) {
          console.log(err)
        } else {
          let data = personas[receivers[i]].persona_state
          if (data === 1 || data === 2 || data === 3) {
            client.chat.sendFriendMessage(receivers[i], `It works!`);
            console.log('Message sent!', receivers[i])
          }
        }
      })
    }
    setTimeout(checkOnline, 10000);
  }
  steamLogin()
}
main()
