How can I send a message and then remove the account from my friendlist?

[Schmaniel]

I want to kick every user that is not in one of my groups.
therefore I added a sleep inbetween the chatMessage and the removeFriend.

Both are working, but not simultaneously. The user is getting kicked without the message being sent.

 

function sleep(milliseconds) {
  var start = new Date().getTime();
  for (var i = 0; i < 1e7; i++) {
    if ((new Date().getTime() - start) > milliseconds){
      break;
    }
  }
}
    
user.chatMessage(`${row.SteamID64}`, "You are getting kicked, because you are not in one of our groups anymore");
sleep(5000);
user.removeFriend(`${row.SteamID64}`);

By sleeping synchronously, you're preventing the module from actually sending the message over the network. You should almost never sleep synchronously in JavaScript.

You're looking for the setTimeout function.

Tried it with 

user.chatMessage(`${row.SteamID64}`, "You are getting kicked, because you are not in one of our groups anymore");
setTimeout(() => user.removeFriend(`${row.SteamID64}`), 5000);

But I'm still getting kicked before I receive the message

So there was a link to a Steamgroup in the chatMessage, that I censored, that caused that the message wasn't send.

        client.chat.sendFriendMessage(sid, "You are deleted. Bye-Bye!", null, (err, response) => {
            if (err) {
                // nothing
            } else {
                client.removeFriend(sid);
            }
        });

I think this should work. Or not?
