How to organize a kick from a conversation using a forwarded message?
There is this code

if(msg.peerType != "chat") return send("❌ || Данная команда работает только в беседах!");
  	if(!msg.forwards) return send("❌ || Не обнаружено пересланного сообщения!");
  var g23 = msg.forwards[0];
vk.api.messages.removeChatUser({chat_id: msg.peerId-2000000000, user_id: g23.senderId})
send("⚠Пользователь исключён!");

As I understand it, the forwarded message is not checked at all. And after that, the expected error that the user ID is not known. In vk.api, I realized that somehow it can be organized through forward, but how exactly?

Answer 1

In VK, it is possible not only to forward messages, but also to reply to them.
As a result, vk-io provides a replyMessage object in the new message event.

let removedUser = (msg.replyMessage ? msg.replyMessage.senderId : msg.forwards[0].senderId);
vk.api.messages.removeChatUser({chat_id: msg.chatId, user_id: removedUser});

In this code, we check for the existence of the message object that was replied to, and if it exists, we take the user ID from it.
