How to remove Event listeners

[timgfx]

The title says it. I am making a bot which you can manage on a webpage. So every time you restart the bot it should remove and add the event listeners again.

Yeah I get that but how do I remove steam-user listeners once they've been set. I've tried client.removeListener('loggedOn') but I got a lot of errors. I also tried searching in the steam-user files but what I tried didn't work either.

 

"require('util').inherits(SteamUser, require('events').EventEmitter);"

As per the documentation, you need to pass the actual function that you want to remove as a listener to removeListener.

I tried that but it didn't work

 

I did this: 

client.on("loggedOn", function(details, parental) {
            logonfunc(details, parental);
        });

        client.removeListener("loggedOn", function(details, parental) {
            logonfunc(details, parental);
        });

And tried the same with removing the logonfunc function. How would I do it because I'm lost

There is an example on the node.js doc page. It has to be the same function, not a copy of the function.
