ID event is not firing

[tvman99]

I have variable that contains steamid64. There is a reason using variable, Because it changes. This id event is not working, However it does with const. Does it work only with const? If yes, How can i make it work?

client.on('friendMessage#' + variable, function(steamID, message) {
  console.log("works");
  client.chatMessage(steamID, "works " + message);
});

It works with initial value. So I think i should clear cache and refresh after every changes somehow. How can i achieve it without restarting whole nodejs app?

 

Edit: I found a way and it is only to check steamid is equal to variable within friendMessage  id event.

As you discovered, calling client.on('friendMessage#' + variable, ...) only creates a listener for the SteamID contained in variable at the time the listener was added. If you need to change the SteamID you're listening for, you need to just listen for friendMessage and check the SteamID in the event.
