craftingComplete sometimes not firing

[apibot]

My bot automatically craft/smelt metals according to my bot's stock

flow:

gamesPlayed(440) if haveGCSession is false > wait for connectedToGC to fire > craft > wait for craftingComplete to fire > gamesPlayed() to exit tf2 > reload inventory.

 

Sometimes it completes the flow but I am stucked with the same number of metals. Sometimes it is stucked waiting for craftingComplete to be emitted. Sometimes it is successful especially when I restart my bot. Yes, I load my inventory via getInventoryContents everytime before crafting to make sure I have the correct item.ids.

This is not the best way to make sure you have the correct item IDs when crafting items. Just use node-tf2's backpack property, which contains an always-up-to-date copy of your backpack. To find metal, just check the defindexes. If memory serves, 5000 is scrap metal, 5001 is reclaimed, and 5002 is refined.
