Our entity group system is the combination of “invite/apply only” and “open” by default: players call ApplyToGroup to apply to a group and members of the group administrator use AcceptGroupInvitation to accept applications, or, members of the group administrator call InviteToGroup to invite a player and it calls AcceptGroupInvitation to accept the invitation. I am not sure what do you mean by “closed group” though, does it mean that players cannot submit applications or accept invitations from members of the group?
thanks for your answer. about your question for "closed" group, it mans the group is closed for anyone to join so players can not even call ApplyToGroup API. By the way, i had implemented this functionality now and i'll share the solution here for others.
MY SOLUTION:
store the type of group in "group object" like this KEY : "Type", VALUE: { "groupType" : "close / open / inviteOnly" }
and on the basis of this, you can apply checks. For example:
switch(groupType)
{
case "open":
//add player to group directly
break;
case "inviteOnly":
//send ApplyToGroup request
break;
case "close":
//player can not join this group
break;
}
note: main thing here is playing with group object entity
