Question Adding a small delay

[roughnecks]

community.acceptConfirmationForObject(identitySecret, offer.id, function(err) {
	if(err){
		console.log(chalk.red("Confirmation Failed for  " + offer.id + ": " + err));
	} else {
		console.log(chalk.green("Offer " + offer.id + ": Confirmed!"));
	}
});

How can I delay this ^ for a couple seconds, avoiding it being fired earlier than offer.accept (which is right before)?

 

I know this is more a coding issue rather than module's issue but I'm beginning to code in js and this async stuff hurts Thanks

Put it inside of the callback to accept.

This is my code:

	if (offer.partner.getSteamID64() === '76561198061492959') {
		offer.accept((err, status) => {
			if (err) {
				console.log(err);
			} else {
				console.log(chalk.green(`Accepted offer ${offer.id} from owner. Status: ${status}.`));
				community.acceptConfirmationForObject(identitySecret, offer.id, function(err) {
					if(err){
						console.log(chalk.red("Confirmation Failed for  " + offer.id + ": " + err));
					} else {
						console.log(chalk.green("Offer " + offer.id + ": Confirmed!"));
					}
				});
			}
		});

It's working fine (at least when I tried) but I read on another thread where you suggested to add a delay just to be sure the confirmation would fire after accepting the offer - and I didn't want to necro that post.

I really don't mind necroing on this forum.

 

You definitely need to put the confirmation acceptance inside the callback to accept, but within that callback it's not a bad idea to add a short delay. Use setTimeout for this.
