Question getPersonas - unavailable data

[iLuk]

Hi, when I use GetPersonas there's a possibility that the requested data would be unavailable. Unfortunately there's no error callback. How can I check it?

I mean something like this:

if (GetPersonas is unavailable)
   // do something...

I've never experienced a persona data being unavailable. Is there any specific condition which makes it unavailable, or are you talking about just regular Steam failures?

[iLuk]

When you are logged out. It happened to my bot when it was reconnecting to Steam after losing the connection.

 

@Edit

Can I check somehow if the bot is logged in?

I can do something like that:

var partnerName;

client.getPersonas([partnerId], function (persona) {

       partnerName = persona[partnerId].player_name;
});

setTimeout(function(){

if (partnerName == undefined)
       //  data unavailable

},2000);

but is there a better option?

It also happens when the bot is logged in. How can I edit this function to return error when it fails?

SteamUser.prototype.getPersonas = function(steamids, callback) {
var Flags = Steam.EClientPersonaStateFlag;
var flags = Flags.Status|Flags.PlayerName|Flags.QueryPort|Flags.SourceID|Flags.Presence|
Flags.Metadata|Flags.LastSeen|Flags.ClanInfo|Flags.GameExtraInfo|Flags.GameDataBlob|
Flags.ClanTag|Flags.Facebook;


var ids = steamids.map(function(id) {
if(typeof id === 'string') {
return (new SteamID(id)).getSteamID64();
}


return id.toString();
});


this._send(Steam.EMsg.ClientRequestFriendData, {
"friends": ids,
"persona_state_requested": flags
});


if(callback) {
var output = {};


var self = this;
ids.forEach(function(id) {
self.once('user#' + id, receive);
});


function receive(sid, user) {
var sid64 = sid.getSteamID64();
output[sid64] = user;


var index = ids.indexOf(sid64);
if(index != -1) {
ids.splice(index, 1);
}


if(ids.length === 0) {
callback(output);
}
}
}
};
