FIG. 9 is a schematic flow chart of a method for grouping players in a game according to an embodiment of the present application.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 9, the in-game player team organizing method may further include:

s901, a dequeue request sent by a second client is received, and the dequeue request is used for indicating disconnection with the second client.

And S902, disconnecting the connection with the second client according to the dequeue request.

Taking the client B as an example, if the team management server receives the dequeue request sent by the client B, the connection between the target team process in which the client B is located and the client B may be disconnected. And B, after the connection is disconnected, quitting the game team corresponding to the target team progress. The team management server may further send the dequeue information corresponding to the second client to the game server after disconnecting from the second client according to the dequeue request, that is, may notify a game process corresponding to the second client in the game server of a message that a player corresponding to the second client leaves the game team.

FIG. 10 is a schematic flow chart of a method for grouping players in a game according to an embodiment of the present application.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 10, the in-game player team organizing method may further include:

s1001, judging whether the number of the clients connected with the target team formation process is equal to 1.

S1002, if the number of the clients connected with the target team formation process is equal to 1, resetting the target team formation process to be in an initial state.

The initial state refers to a state in which the team formation process does not establish a connection with any client. Resetting the target team process to the initial state means that the team corresponding to the target team process is destroyed and the connection with all clients is disconnected.

FIG. 11 is a schematic flow chart illustrating a method for grouping players in a game according to an embodiment of the present application.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 11, the in-game player team organizing method may further include:

s1003, if the number of the clients connected with the target team process is not equal to 1, updating team information of the target team process, and synchronizing the updated team information to all the clients connected with the target team process.

For example, when a team corresponding to a target team process includes player a, player B, and player C, and if the team information is "member 3, including A, B, C", and player B disconnects from the target team process, the team management server may update the team information to "member 2, including A, C". Then, the team management server may synchronize the updated team information to the client a and the client C.

FIG. 12 is a schematic flow chart of a method for grouping players in a game according to an embodiment of the present application.

S1202, according to the request of the team resolving, all the clients connected with the target team process are disconnected, and the target team process is reset to be in an initial state.

The first client is a client corresponding to a first player when the team is established, and the first player is the team leader. When the team management server receives the request for releasing the team sent by the first client, and the team leader can be considered to select the releasing team, the team management server can disconnect the target team process from all the clients and reset the target team process to the initial state.

Alternatively, in one embodiment, the team management server may directly disconnect the target team process from all clients according to the request of the team to be resolved. In another embodiment, each client may execute the dequeue request in turn, and finally disconnect the target queuing process from all clients, which is not limited herein.

the method for grouping players in a game provided by the embodiment can be applied to the game system, and in the game system, a game server can maintain a plurality of game (game) processes, wherein each game process corresponds to a different player client. After logging in, each player is allocated to 1 of the game processes, and the player entity is located on the game process and establishes connection with the game process. For example, gameA corresponds to client A and gameB corresponds to client B. A team management server may have multiple team (team) processes maintained therein, each team process operable to provide a request to create a team to provide team interaction functionality for multiple players. The team management server can be a distributed server cluster, wherein each server in the cluster can maintain a plurality of team processes, when the team processes are insufficient, one or more servers can be added into the cluster to share pressure, and the capacity expansion of the team processes is realized, so that the normal operation of the game team function is ensured.

When A requests to group with B, a team group request may be initiated to the game server by client A. The team request is sent to gameA in the game server. The team request may contain player a's identification a and player B's identification B.

S1302, the game server forwards the team formation request to the client B.

After receiving the team formation request, the game server may search for the address of gameB through a routing stub (routestub) process or a database (database, db), and then forward the team formation request to the gameB, which then issues the team formation request to the client B corresponding to the player B.

For example, after a player logs in a game and creates an entity of the player in the game process, the game server may send an address of the game process corresponding to the player to a routestub backup, or write the address into a field of the game server. When the address of gameB where the player B is located needs to be searched, routestub or db can be searched. Taking routestub as an example, a plurality of routestubes may be created in advance in the game server, and then the game ID of the player is hashed (hash) to determine the corresponding routestub.

After receiving the team formation request, the client B may return a team formation approval request to the game server if the player B approves the team formation; if the team is not approved, a decline team request may be returned to the game server, or no message may be returned.

S1303, the game server judges whether a request for agreeing to group is received from the client B.

If yes, go to step S1304; if not, ending the process, and resetting the related data recorded in the game process.

S1304, the game server inquires whether a target team process corresponding to the A exists.

If yes, directly execute step S1305; if not, steps S1306, S1307, and S1308 are executed first, and then step S1305 is executed.

S1305, the game server acquires the address and the ID of the target team process and sends the address and the ID to the client B.

S1306, the game server transmits a team creation request to the team management server.

S1307, the team management server randomly selects a team process as the target team process corresponding to a.

S1308, the client A establishes connection with the target team process.

S1309, the client B establishes connection with the target team process.

After the client B establishes connection with the target team process corresponding to the client A, the target team process can synchronize state information of target game roles corresponding to the client A and the client B, game data sent by a game server and the like to the client of the other party respectively, and can also forward voice messages, text messages and the like of the client A or the client B between the client A and the client B, so that the team forming function of the client A and the client B is realized.
