How to make a proper Fan Command

[ghost]

How can i make a proper Fan Command for my bot.

Fan Command: makes the bot automatically fan the person that did the command.

I tried coding a fan command with this code:

bot.on('speak', function (data) {
if (data.match(/fan/))
   bot.becomeFan(data.user[0].userid);
   bot.speak('I am now your fan, @ data.name.');
});

but it crashed the bot, and won't let the bot run.

The problem you have is this:

Each time you register a listener (ie: bot.on('signal', callback);) the callback is going to be called every time the signal is triggered.

So, if you do something like this:

bot.on('signal1', function() {
  bot.on('signal2', function() {
    // ...
  });
});

Every time signal1 is triggered, you add a new listeners for signal2. (and this, create a memory leak)

This is the problem you have.

If you want to fix this, make sure you don't have nested listeners.
