How can I create an event?

[PonyExpress]

I would like to manually create an event. How should I do this?

For example, I want to create an event in which the program will work just like that if it receives a message.

I think I should have 2 options: handling multiple event events or creating an event. I think both options should work something like this:

var message = {};

 

client.on("friendMessage", (SENDER, MSG) => {

//   If an event or variable is not empty:

//  (client.on("friendMessage", (SENDER, MSG)) || (message != {}) => {

 

    if (message) {

        SENDER = message.msg;

        MSG = message.sid;

        message = {};

    }

 

    client.chatMessage(SENDER, "OK");

});

 

message = {sid: { universe: 1, type: 1, instance: 1, accountid: 12345678 }, msg: "test"};

 

// Something like event creation:

// client.on("friendMessage", SENDER: { universe: 1, type: 1, instance: 1, accountid: 23587203 }, MSG: "test");

I'm not so sure about what you're trying to achieve or how you can handle multiple events. 

To send an event is called 'emitting'.

So you can do:

this.emit('event-name', event-params)

What are you making and what are you trying to achieve? Give some more description.

Thank you, it looks like what I need.

But I can’t figure out how to do it.

client.emit('friendMessage', new SteamID('76561197983852931'), "help");

Like I said before, what are you trying to achieve?

Are you trying to simulate the friendMessage event?

[PonyExpress]

Yes. I'm trying to simulate the friendMessage event. I want to use it like this:

client.on("friendMessage", (SENDER, MSG, FROM_NEW_OFFER, OFFER) => {

    // or: client.on("friendMessage", (SENDER, [MSG, FROM_NEW_OFFER, OFFER]) => {

        if (MSG == "help") {

            // to do something

            if (FROM_NEW_OFFER) {

                OFFER.to_do_something();

            }

        }

    });

    

    manager.on("newOffer", (OFFER) => {

        client.emit('friendMessage', OFFER.partner, "help", "FROM_NEW_OFFER", OFFER);

    });

I know I can do it, but I don’t want to:

 

    client.on("friendMessage", (SENDER, MSG) => {

        if (MSG == "help") {

            Help(SENDER, MSG);

        }

    });

    

    manager.on("newOffer", (OFFER) => {

        Help(OFFER.partner, "help", "FROM_NEW_OFFER", OFFER);

    });

    

    function Help(SENDER, MSG, FROM_NEW_OFFER, OFFER) {

        if (MSG == "help") {

            // to do something

            if (FROM_NEW_OFFER) {

                OFFER.to_do_something();

            }

        }

    }

Spoofing a built-in event is almost never the right way to accomplish something. In this case, your second snippet is the more correct way to do this.
