Receive friend requests/Adding friends

[UKF]

Hello,

How can I add a friend if a friend request is received?

I tried using addFriend(steamID), here's the code, am I doing something wrong?

var SteamUser = require('steam-user');
var client = new SteamUser();

client.on("friend", function (steamID) {
        client.addFriend(steamID);
    }
);

Thanks for the help!

I got it to work by using on('friendRelationship')

If I'm not wrong, it should be client.on('friendRelationship'), function(parameters) { ... });

Also, a question, these #paramaters, can be used such as client.on('parameter') etc...?

And how could I get the the user's steam name? (not 64bit ID).

 

Thank you

client.on('friendRelationship', function(steamID, relationship) {
    if (relationship == SteamUser.Steam.EFriendRelationship.RequestRecipient) {
        client.addFriend(steamID);
    }
});

 

You can use getPersonas to get names and other profile data.

Could you please show me how to use the getPersonas getter to get the name?

 

Thank you

The names are the player_name property in each object in the array provided in the callback.

I am new into the callback things and not a professional

I got this to work somehow:

 

var botName;

 

setInterval(function () {

    if (botName == undefined) {

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

            botName = persona[client.steamID].player_name;

        });

    }

}, 5000);

 

Is it the right usage? Or is there a better way?

If you want your own profile name, just use the accountInfo property (and the accountInfo event).
