Forcing newOffer event check.

[Op1x3r]

Hello,

I noticed that some offers are sometimes skipped (possibly due to steam lags or smthing like that) in the newOffer event. My bot sees those offers only when it re-logins.
My question would be: Is there a way to tell the bot to check for pending offers and let manager.on('newOffer'); handle them every x seconds? I saw the getOffers function, that might work, but how do I make manager.on('newOffer') handle those offers?

// Get all active offers
manager.getOffers(TradeOfferManager.EOfferFilter.ActiveOnly, (err, sent, received) => {
    // Loop through recieved trade offers and execute the processOffer function on each. 
    if (received) {
        for (var i = 0; i < received.length; i++) {
                processOffer(received[i]);
        }
    }
});

You could put the above in a setInterval.

The processOffer function is the same thing that you do when you get the newOffer event.

So if you have a large function like:

manager.on('newOffer', offer => {
	// code 
});

You can change it to:

manager.on('newOffer', offer => processOffer(offer));

function processOffer(offer) {
	// code
}

And so then you can process an offer from elsewhere.

What if my setInterval executes at the same time as newOffer?
(Won't the duplication be a problem?)

I think so, you may be able to solve this with polldata.
