[0045] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a map provided by a virtual scene of a MOBA game according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The map 200 is a square. The map 200 is divided into a lower left triangular region 220 and an upper right triangular region 240 along a diagonal line. There are three paths, namely, a top lane 21, a mid lane 22, and a bot lane 23, from the lower left corner of the lower left triangular region 220 to the upper right corner of the upper right triangular region 240. In a typical match, ten virtual characters need to be divided into two camps to compete. The five virtual characters of the first camp occupy the lower left triangular region 220, and the five virtual characters of the second camp occupy the upper right triangular region 240. The first camp's victory condition is to destroy or occupy all the bases of the second camp, and the second camp's victory condition is to destroy or occupy all the bases of the first camp.

[0046] Illustratively, the base of the first camp includes nine defensive towers 24 and a first base 25. The nine defensive towers 24 are located in three each of the top lane 21, the mid lane 22, and the bot lane 23, and the first base 25 is located in the lower left corner of the lower left triangular region 220.

[0047] Illustratively, the base of the second camp includes nine defensive towers 24 and a second base 26. The nine defensive towers 24 are located in the top lane 21, the mid lane 22, and the bot lane 23, three in each, and the second base 26 is located in the upper right corner of the upper right triangular region 220.

[0048] 2 may be called the river channel region. The river channel region belongs to the shared region of the first camp and the second camp, and is also the boundary region between the lower left triangular region 220 and the upper right triangular region 240.

[0049] In a MOBA game, each virtual character needs to acquire resources in the map 200 to improve the combat capabilities of the virtual character. The resources include:

[0050] 1. A minion that periodically appears in the top lane 21, mid lane 22, and bot lane 23. When the minion is killed, nearby virtual characters gain experience and gold.

[0051] 2. The mid lane (a diagonal line from the bottom left to the top right) and the river channel area (a diagonal line from the top left to the bottom right) are used as dividing lines to divide the area into four triangular areas A, B, C, and D (also called four jungles). Neutral monsters are periodically refreshed in these four triangular areas A, B, C, and D. When a neutral monster is killed, nearby virtual characters gain experience, gold, and buff effects.

[0052] 3. There are Baron 27 and Dragon 28 at two symmetrical positions in the river area, which are periodically refreshed. When Baron 27 and Dragon 28 are killed, each virtual character of the attacking camp will gain experience, gold, and BUFF effect. Baron 27 may be called "Lord" or other names such as "Caesar", and Dragon 28 may be called "Tyrant" or other names such as "Magic Dragon".

[0053] In one example, there is one gold monster in the top lane and one in the bot lane, which spawns 30 seconds after the start, gives gold after killing, and refreshes after 70 seconds.

[0054] A area: There are 1 red BUFF, 2 normal neutral monsters (1 boar and 1 bird), and 1 tyrant (dragon). Red BUFF and neutral monsters appear 30 seconds after starting, normal neutral monsters refresh 70 seconds after being killed, red BUFF refreshes once every 90 seconds after being killed. The Tyrant appears 2 minutes after the start, refreshes 3 minutes after being killed, and the whole team gets gold and experience bonus after being killed. The Tyrant goes into the Darkness at 9 minutes 55 seconds, the Dark Tyrant appears at 10 minutes, and gets the Tyrant's Revenge BUFF after the Dark Tyrant is killed.

[0055] B area: There is 1 blue BUFF and 2 normal neutral monsters (1 wolf and 1 bird), the blue BUFF also appears at 30 seconds and refreshes once every 90 seconds after being killed.

[0056] C Area: C area is the same as B area, with two normal neutral monsters (one wolf and one bird), as well as blue BUFFs that appear every 30 seconds and refresh once every 90 seconds.

[0057] D Zone: D Zone is similar to A Zone, there is one red BUFF, and two normal neutral monsters (one boar and one bird), the red BUFF is also power increase and slow. There is also one lord (baron). The lord appears 8 minutes after starting, refreshes 5 minutes after being killed, when you kill the lord, you can get the lord BUFF, binding BUFF and online lord herald (or manually summoned sky dragon (also called bone dragon)).

[0058] In one illustrative example, the details of BUFF are as follows: RED BUFF: Lasts for 70 seconds, attacks inflict continuous heat damage and slow. Blue BUFF: Lasts for 70 seconds, reduces cooldown time, and recovers a certain amount of additional magic power per second. Killing the Dark Tyrant will grant you the Dark Tyrant BUFF and Bind BUFF. Dark Tyrant BUFF: Increases the physical attack of the entire team (80 + 5% current attack) and the magic attack of the entire team (120 + 5% current magic attack), lasting for 90s. Binding BUFF: Reduces the master's output by 50%, does not disappear on death, and lasts for 90 seconds. By killing the leader, you can obtain leader BUFF and binding BUFF. Leader BUFF: Increases the team's health recovery and magic power recovery by 1.5% per second. Lasts for 90 seconds. Loses leader BUFF upon death. Binding BUFF: Reduces the Dark Tyrant's output by 50%, does not disappear on death, and lasts for 90s.

[0059] After killing the leader, you can earn the following income: 1. All team members will gain 100 gold, and any main controlled virtual characters, including the main controlled virtual character on the resurrection CD, will gain effects and benefits regardless of whether they are involved in the master's kill or not. 2. From the time the Master is killed, the next three groups (three routes) of soldiers on the attacking side are all changed to Master Heralds (Mutalisks). Master Heralds are very powerful and advance together along the three routes, giving the enemy huge line pressure, and the enemy has to branch out and defend. An alarm for Master Heralds is issued on the map, and the number of groups (generally three) of Master Heralds arriving during that time is displayed.

[0060] The combat ability of the 10 virtual characters includes two parts: level and equipment, the level is acquired by accumulated experience points, and the equipment is acquired by purchasing with accumulated gold. The 10 virtual characters may be obtained by the server matching 10 user accounts online. Exemplarily, the server matches 2, 6, or 10 user accounts online in an interface that competes in the same virtual world. The 2, 6, or 10 virtual characters belong to two hostile camps, respectively, and the number of virtual characters corresponding to the two camps is the same. For example, each camp has 5 virtual characters, and these 5 virtual characters may be divided into a fighter character, an assassin character, a mage character, a support (or tank) character, and a marksman character.

[0061] The battles may be played on a match-by-match basis, and the maps for each battle may be the same or different. Each camp includes one or more, for example, one, three, or five, virtual characters.

[0062] In a virtual scene, a plurality of virtual controls are generally set in advance, and generally include a character control control and a skill control control. The character control control controls the movement of the virtual character in the virtual scene, including changing the movement direction, movement speed, etc. of the virtual character, and the skill control controls the virtual character to activate a skill in the virtual scene, adjust the skill activation direction, summon a virtual item, etc.

[0063] Optionally, the summoned object control in the embodiment of the present application is a kind of skill control, which controls a virtual summoned object, and the virtual summoned object is a virtual object whose movement path in a virtual scene can be controlled when triggered by the summoned object control, i.e., when the virtual summoned object is triggered in the virtual scene, it can move a certain distance in the virtual scene, and during the movement of the virtual summoned object, the user can change the movement path of the virtual summoned object by adjusting the movement direction of the virtual summoned object.

[0064] In the process of using the virtual summoned object, if the user needs to change the moving path of the virtual summoned object, the user needs to adjust the moving path by observing the virtual scene at a viewing angle corresponding to the virtual summoned object to determine the angle at which the virtual summoned object needs to be deflected, and the user may also need to control the virtual character using the virtual summoned object. Therefore, the virtual object control method according to the present application can realize simultaneous control of the virtual character and the virtual item, and as shown in FIG. 3, it is a flowchart showing the virtual object control method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The virtual object control method may be executed by a terminal (the client in the terminal described above), may be executed by a server, or may be executed by the terminal and the server interacting with each other, and the terminal and the server may be the terminal and the server in the system shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 3, the virtual object control method includes the following steps (310 to 330).

[0065] In step 310, a first scene view is displayed in a virtual scene interface for displaying the virtual scene.

[0066] Optionally, the first scene screen is a screen for observing the virtual scene at a visual angle corresponding to a virtual summoned object in the virtual scene, and the virtual scene interface includes a summoned object control control and a character control control. In some embodiments, when a summoned object corresponding to a virtual character exists in the virtual scene, the first scene screen is displayed, and the virtual summoned object is displayed on the first scene screen. Optionally, the visual angle corresponding to the virtual summoned object refers to a visual angle at which the virtual summoned object can be focused on and observed. Optionally, the visual angle corresponding to the virtual summoned object refers to a visual angle at which the virtual summoned object is observed from above or diagonally above the virtual summoned object.

[0067] In embodiments of the present application, controllable virtual objects may include virtual characters that can act in a virtual scene and virtual summons that can be manipulated in a virtual scene.

[0068] Optionally, the summon control control can summon and control a virtual summon, the summon control control being one of the skill control controls in the virtual scene interface, and the character control control controls the virtual character to perform a corresponding action in the virtual scene, such as moving or activating a skill.

[0069] As shown in FIG. 4, it is a schematic diagram showing a first scene screen according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 4, the first scene screen 400 includes a summoned object control control 410 and a character control control 420, where the summoned object control control 410 controls a virtual summoned object, and the character control control 420 controls the virtual character to move or activate a skill.

[0070] In some embodiments, the types of skills that a virtual character activates in a virtual scene can be divided into first skills that rely on virtual summons to function and second skills that do not rely on virtual summons. For example, the first skills may be skills that require the summoning of virtual items, such as summoning a virtual arrow or summoning a virtual missile, and the second skills may be skills that do not require the summoning of a virtual item, such as running, rampaging, or dizziness.

[0071] Based on the description of the first skill and the second skill above, the function of skill control may include the following 1) to 3). 1) In response to a touch operation based on a first skill control, a second skill is activated in a direction in which a virtual character in a virtual environment is facing. 2) In response to a touch operation based on the second skill control, the second skill is activated in a determined activation direction by adjusting the activation direction of the skill, and optionally, the determined activation direction is a direction after the adjustment of the activation direction of the skill is completed. 3) In response to a touch operation based on the third skill control, the first skill is triggered, a virtual summoned object is displayed in the virtual scene, and the virtual summoned object is released and controlled in the direction in which the virtual character is facing or in the activation direction of the adjusted skill.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present application, when the summoned creature control control belongs to the skill control control, the summoned creature control control may be a third skill control control.

[0073] In step 320, in response to a first touch operation on the summoned object control, the virtual summoned object is displayed moving in the virtual scene based on operation information of the first touch operation.

[0074] In one possible embodiment, the first scene screen can be changed by adjusting the viewing angle corresponding to the virtual summoned object based on the orientation of the virtual summoned object. Adjusting the viewing angle corresponding to the virtual summoned object can include adjusting the viewing angle corresponding to the virtual summoned object up and down or left and right.

[0075] In step 330, in the process of displaying the virtual summoned object moving in the virtual scene based on the operation information, in response to a second touch operation on the character control control, it is displayed that the virtual character performs a behavioral action corresponding to the character control control.

[0076] That is, when there is a virtual summoned object in a virtual scene, and in the process of the user controlling the virtual summoned object, the user can simultaneously control virtual characters in the virtual scene and simultaneously control multiple virtual objects in the same virtual scene.

[0077] As described above, the virtual object control method according to the embodiment of the present application uses summoned object control to control the movement of a virtual summoned object in a virtual scene, and uses character control to control the actions and movements of a virtual character in a virtual scene, thereby enabling multiple virtual objects in the virtual scene to be operated simultaneously without additional switching operations, thereby improving the efficiency of controlling virtual objects.

[0078] In addition, multiple virtual objects in a virtual scene can be taken into account simultaneously, improving the efficiency of human-computer interaction and further reducing the waste of processing and power resources of the terminal.

[0079] In the embodiment of the present application, the summoned object control has a function of summoning a virtual summoned object and controlling the virtual summoned object, and based on the function of the summoned object control, an exemplary embodiment of the present application provides a virtual object control method, which is a flowchart showing a virtual object control method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 5. The virtual object control method may be executed by a terminal (a client in the terminal described above), may be executed by a server, or may be executed by a terminal and a server interacting with each other, and the terminal and the server may be the terminal and the server in the system shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 5, the virtual object control method includes the following steps (510 to 550).

[0080] In step 510, a second scene view is displayed in a virtual scene interface for displaying the virtual scene.

[0081] In some embodiments, the second scene screen is a screen for observing the virtual scene at a visual angle corresponding to the virtual character. When there is no virtual summoned object corresponding to the virtual character in the virtual scene (i.e., after the virtual summoned object disappears in the virtual scene), the second scene screen is displayed in the virtual scene interface, and the virtual character is displayed on the second scene screen. Note that the visual angle corresponding to the virtual summoned object and the visual angle corresponding to the virtual character are two different visual angles. Optionally, the visual angle corresponding to the virtual character refers to a visual angle at which the virtual character can be focused on and observed. Optionally, the visual angle corresponding to the virtual character refers to a visual angle at which the virtual character is observed from above or diagonally above the virtual character.

[0082] The first scene screen and the second scene screen may be screens obtained by observing the same virtual scene from different visual angles. As shown in FIG. 4, the scene screen in the virtual scene interface 400 is the first scene screen, which is a screen when observing the virtual scene from the visual angle of the virtual summoned object 430, and the first scene screen changes as the virtual summoned object moves in the virtual scene. As shown in FIG. 6, which is a schematic diagram showing the second scene screen according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 6, the scene screen in the virtual scene interface 600 is a screen when observing the virtual scene from the visual angle of the virtual character 640, and the second scene screen changes as the virtual character moves in the virtual scene.

[0083] The virtual control in the virtual scene interface can realize the control of the virtual character by a mapping manner, for example, the virtual character is controlled to be deflected by rotating the virtual control, and there is a mapping relationship between the orientation of the virtual character and the orientation of the virtual joystick of the virtual control. As shown in FIG. 6, the virtual control includes a summoned object control control 610 and a character control control 620, the orientation of the virtual joystick of the summoned object control control indicates the orientation of the virtual summoned object 630, and the orientation of the virtual joystick of the character control control control indicates the orientation of the virtual character 640, and when the user performs a rotation operation based on the virtual control to change the orientation of the virtual character, the orientation of the virtual character in the virtual scene maintains the same orientation change as the virtual control. As shown in FIG. 6, the orientation of the summoned object control control 610 is the upper right direction, the orientation of the virtual summoned object 630 is the upper right direction, the orientation of the virtual joystick of the character control control 620 is the upper right direction, and the orientation of the virtual character 640 is also the upper right direction. When the orientation of the virtual joystick of the character control 620 rotates clockwise from the upper right to the right, the orientation of the virtual character 640 also rotates clockwise from the upper right to the right, and when the orientation of the virtual joystick of the summoned object control 610 rotates counterclockwise from the upper right to the upward direction, the orientation of the virtual summoned object 630 also rotates counterclockwise from the upper right to the upward direction.

[0084] At step 520, in response to receiving a third touch operation on the summoned object-controlling control, the virtual character is controlled to summon a virtual summoned object in the virtual scene.

[0085] In one possible embodiment, the virtual summons may be a virtual object summoned by a virtual character using a skill corresponding to a summon control control.

[0086] In another possible embodiment, the virtual summons may be neutral monsters in the virtual environment, e.g., a virtual character may convert the neutral monsters into virtual summons through a special skill, or the virtual summons may be virtual items applied to the virtual environment, e.g., a virtual character may convert the virtual item into a virtual summon when it comes into contact with the virtual item.

[0087] When the virtual summon is a neutral monster in the virtual environment, the third touch operation may be an operation in which the user selects the neutral monster and then clicks on the summon control control.

[0088] In the embodiment of the present application, the present application will be described by taking as an example that the virtual summoned object is a virtual object summoned by a skill corresponding to a summoned object control.

[0089] If possible, the third touch operation may be clicking on the summoned object control control, or the third touch operation may be a touch operation starting in a first area within the range of the summoned object control control and ending in a second area within the range of the summoned object control control, and the starting and ending processes of the touch operation are performed within the range of the summoned object control control, i.e., after confirming the initial release direction of the virtual summoned object by the summoned object control control, the virtual summoned object is released in the confirmed initial release direction.

[0090] In step 530, in response to receiving a fourth touch operation on the summoned object control, the scene screen in the virtual scene interface is switched from the second scene screen to the first scene screen.

[0091] The fourth touch operation is performed after the third touch operation.

[0092] In one possible embodiment, after receiving a third touch operation based on the summoned object control and controlling the virtual character to summon a virtual summoned object in the virtual scene in response to the third touch operation, the function of the summoned object control can be switched, that is, before not receiving the third touch operation, the function of the summoned object control can be summoning a virtual summoned object, and after receiving the third touch operation, the function of the summoned object control can be switched to controlling the virtual summoned object, at which time, in response to receiving a fourth touch operation based on the summoned object control, the virtual summoned object is controlled to move in the virtual scene, and the scene screen in the virtual scene interface is switched from the second scene screen obtained by observing the virtual scene at a visual angle corresponding to the virtual character to the first scene screen obtained by observing the virtual scene at a visual angle corresponding to the virtual summoned object.

[0093] In one possible embodiment, the fourth touch operation may be a pressing operation whose duration exceeds a preset value based on a certain area within the summoned object control.

[0094] In one possible embodiment, in the process of switching from the second scene screen to the first scene screen, a transition screen may be set, which represents a change in the observation angle, and the transition may be a smooth transition.

[0095] In order to ensure that the user has sufficient pre-judgment space and field of view for the virtual object, when the virtual scene is displayed in the virtual scene interface, the virtual object is generally positioned in the lower left corner of the virtual scene, so when the viewing angle for observing the virtual scene is switched from the viewing angle corresponding to the virtual character to the viewing angle corresponding to the virtual summoned object, the lens of the 3D virtual space is adjusted, the height of the lens is automatically raised by a certain angle, and the anchor point of the lens is positioned in front of the virtual summoned object, thereby positioning the virtual summoned object in the lower left corner (e.g., the lower left corner area) of the virtual scene.

[0096] In one possible embodiment, a thumbnail screen of the second scene screen may be superimposed on top of the first scene screen, and the size of the thumbnail screen is smaller than the size of the first scene screen.

[0097] In the embodiment of the present application, the thumbnail screen of the second scene screen is displayed on the top layer of the first scene screen in the form of a floating window, that is, the same terminal user can view the first scene screen and the second scene screen in the terminal interface, the thumbnail screen of the second scene screen is a screen formed after the second scene screen is proportionally reduced, and the screen content of the second scene screen is also changed according to the user's operation.

[0098] Optionally, the thumbnail screen of the second scene screen may be a thumbnail screen of the entire screen area in the second scene screen, or the second scene screen may be a thumbnail screen of a part of the screen area in the second scene screen in which a virtual character is located, and in such a case, the virtual scene range displayed in the thumbnail screen of the second scene screen is smaller than the virtual scene range displayed in the second scene screen.

[0099] In one possible embodiment, the display area of ​​the second scene screen may be a preset fixed area and may be located at any position on the first scene screen. If the display area of ​​the second scene screen may be located at any position on the first scene screen, the user can change the position of the display area of ​​the second scene screen by interacting with the display area of ​​the second scene screen.

[0100] In the embodiment of the present application, the present application will be described using an example in which the display area of ​​the second scene screen is located in the upper left corner of the first scene screen, and as shown in FIG. 4, the second scene screen 430 is displayed in the upper left corner of the first scene screen 400.

[0101] In one possible embodiment, the transmittance of the second scene screen when the second scene screen is superimposed on the first scene screen may be set in advance, and a transmittance adjustment control may be set in the virtual scene interface, which can adjust the transmittance of the second scene screen by receiving a user's touch operation. For example, when the second scene screen is superimposed on top of the first scene screen, the transmittance of the second scene screen is 0%, and the user can move the transmittance adjustment control upwards to increase the transmittance of the second scene screen so as to display the complete first scene screen while viewing the second scene screen, or move the transmittance control downwards to decrease the transmittance of the second scene screen.

[0102] In one possible embodiment, the display area of ​​the second scene screen may be smaller than the display area of ​​the first scene screen, and the size of the display area of ​​the second scene screen may be adjusted. Optionally, the size of the display area refers to the size of the display area.

[0103] If possible, when the display area of ​​the second scene screen is superimposed on the first scene screen, the size of the display area of ​​the second scene screen is a preset value, and the user may adjust the size of the display area of ​​the second scene screen in the display area of ​​the first scene screen according to his / her needs. For example, when the display area of ​​the second scene screen is superimposed on the first scene screen, the display area of ​​the second scene screen is a quarter of the display area of ​​the first scene screen, and the user may reduce or enlarge the size of the display area of ​​the second scene screen by a preset gesture, and the preset gesture may be to touch the second scene screen with two fingers and perform a sliding action such as moving closer to or farther away from each other.

[0104] It should be noted that the above-mentioned method of adjusting the transmittance and the size of the display area of ​​the second scene screen is merely an example, and the present application is not limited to the method of adjusting the transmittance and the size of the display area of ​​the second scene screen.

[0105] At step 540, in response to a first touch operation on the summoned object control, the virtual summoned object is displayed moving in the virtual scene based on operation information of the first touch operation.

[0106] In one possible embodiment, the first touch operation may be a touch operation that starts from a first area where the fourth touch operation acts and ends in a second area within the range of the summoned creature control control, and the start and end process of the touch operation is performed within the range of the summoned creature control control, that is, the summoned creature control control changes the movement direction of the virtual summoned creature in the virtual scene, thereby adjusting the movement path of the virtual summoned creature.

[0107] In one possible embodiment, in response to a first touch operation on the summoned object control control, an offset angle with respect to the initial direction of the virtual summoned object is obtained based on operation information of the first touch operation, and the movement direction of the virtual summoned object in the virtual scene is controlled according to the offset angle.

[0108] In one possible embodiment, the operation information includes a relative direction, and the relative direction is a direction of the operation position of the first touch operation relative to a center position of the summoned object control.

[0109] The step of acquiring an offset angle for an initial direction of the virtual summoned object based on operation information of the first touch operation in response to the first touch operation on the summoned object control control includes: determining a target offset angle for the initial direction of the virtual summoned object based on the relative direction; If the target offset angle is within a deflectable angle range, acquiring the target offset angle as an offset angle; When the target offset angle is greater than an upper limit of a deflectable angle range, acquiring the upper limit as an offset angle; and if the target offset angle is smaller than the lower limit of the deflectable angle range, acquiring the lower limit as the offset angle.

[0110] In one possible embodiment, an angle indicator pattern corresponding to the virtual object is displayed on the first scene screen, and the angle indicator pattern indicates the deflectable angle range. As shown in FIG. 7, it is a schematic diagram showing an angle indicator pattern on the first scene screen according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 7, an angle indicator pattern 710 is displayed on the first scene screen 700, and the angle indicator pattern may indicate the deflectable angle range in the virtual scene of the virtual object 720, and as shown in FIG. 7, the shape of the angle indicator pattern may be an arc shape, and the initial direction of the virtual object is the center, and the deflectable partial range on both sides of the center may be the same.

[0111] In one possible embodiment, an angle indicator is displayed on the first scene screen, and the angle indicator indicates the moving direction of the virtual summoned object in the first scene screen. As shown in Fig. 7, the first scene screen includes an angle indicator 730, the pointing direction of the angle indicator corresponds to the moving trajectory direction of the virtual summoned object, and the moving range of the angle indicator corresponds to the deflectable range of the virtual summoned object indicated by the angle indicator.

[0112] The logic for the summoned object control to control the orientation of the virtual summoned object can be realized as follows.

[0113] If the current orientation of the virtual summon is the same as the orientation of the virtual joystick of the summon control, the orientation of the virtual summon will not be changed. If the current orientation of the virtual summoned object is different from the orientation of the virtual joystick of the summoned object control control, and if the current offset angle of the virtual summoned object does not reach the maximum offset angle indicated by the angle indicator, change the orientation of the virtual summoned object to the same direction as the orientation of the virtual joystick of the summoned object control control; In response to the current orientation of the virtual summoned object being different from the orientation of the virtual joystick of the summoned object control and the current offset angle of the virtual summoned object reaching the maximum offset angle indicated by the angle indicator, the orientation of the virtual summoned object is not changed and the current offset angle of the virtual summoned object is maintained as the maximum offset angle indicated by the angle indicator. The current offset angle of the virtual summoned object reaching the maximum offset angle indicated by the angle indicator refers to the current offset angle of the virtual summoned object being the same as the maximum offset angle indicated by the angle indicator or the current offset angle of the virtual summoned object exceeding the maximum offset angle indicated by the angle indicator.

[0114] Since the virtual summoned object has two offset directions (e.g., clockwise and counterclockwise directions, leftward offset or rightward offset, etc.) relative to the center position, the following method can be used to determine whether the direction corresponding to the maximum offset angle indicated by the angle indicator reached by the current orientation of the virtual summoned object is the same direction as the orientation of the virtual joystick of the summoned object control.

[0115] Acquire the initial orientation and current orientation of the virtual summoned object, and the orientation of the virtual joystick for controlling the summoned object; Calculate the cross product of the initial orientation and current orientation of the virtual summoned object, and obtain the positive or negative sign S1 of the Y-axis orientation of the calculation result. S1=Mathf.Sign(Vector3.Cross(bulletDir,initDir).y) Here, bulletDir indicates the current direction of the virtual summon, initDir indicates the initial direction of the virtual summon, Mathf.Sign is the sign for returning f, which returns 1 if f is positive or 0, and returns -1 if f is negative. Calculate the cross product of the current orientation of the virtual summoned object and the orientation of the virtual joystick of the summoned object control, and obtain the positive or negative sign S2 of the Y-axis orientation of the calculation result. S2=Mathf.Sign(Vector3.Cross(bulletDir,targetDir).y) Here, targetDir indicates the direction of the virtual joystick for controlling summoned creatures.

[0116] If S1=S2 and the current offset angle reaches the maximum offset angle, it indicates that the direction of the maximum deflection angle reached by the virtual summoned object is the same as the direction of the virtual joystick of the summoned object control, in which case the direction of the virtual summoned object is not changed, otherwise, based on the result of S2, the virtual summoned object is controlled to deflect by a certain angle to the left or right. For example, if the current direction of the virtual summoned object has already reached the maximum offset angle on the left side of the angle indicator, if the direction of the virtual joystick of the summoned object control instructs the virtual summoned object to deflect to the left, S1=S2, and the direction of the virtual summoned object is not changed, and if the direction of the virtual joystick of the summoned object control instructs the virtual summoned object to deflect to the right, S1≠S2, and the virtual summoned object is deflected to the right.

[0117] In one possible embodiment, the deflection angle of the virtual summoned object is deflected based on a preset deflection speed, and the maximum deflection angle of the virtual summoned object cannot exceed the angle indicated by the direction of the virtual joystick of the summoned object control and the maximum offset angle of the angle indicator, i.e. turnAngle=Mathf.min(turnSpeed*deltaTime,targetAngle) Here, turnAngle indicates the deflection angle of the virtual summoned object, turnSpeed ​​indicates a preset deflection speed, deltaTime indicates the duration of the touch operation based on the summoned object control, and targetAngle indicates the maximum offset angle indicated by the angle indicator.

[0118] In one possible embodiment, the orientation of the angle indicator in the first scene screen may be adjusted based on the current deflection angle of the virtual summoned object, and the angle indicator may be set in an arc shape, and the logic for calculating the deflection angle of the angle indicator is as follows: indDir=Quaternion.AngleAxis((Ca / Ma)*(Ha / 2),Vector3.up)*bulletDir Here, indDir indicates the deflection angle of the angle indicator, Ca indicates the current deflection angle of the virtual summoned object, Ma indicates the maximum offset angle indicated by the angle indicator, and Ha indicates half the arc angle of the angle indicator.

[0119] In step 550, in the process of the virtual summoned object moving in the virtual scene based on the operation information, in response to a second touch operation on the character control control, it is displayed that the virtual character performs a behavior action corresponding to the character control control.

[0120] In one possible embodiment, after receiving the fourth touch operation performed based on the summoned object control and receiving the touch operation performed based on the character control, the virtual character is controlled to move in a part of the virtual environment displayed on the second scene screen, and the virtual summoned object is controlled to move in a part of the virtual environment displayed on the first scene screen. That is, the user can control the virtual character and the virtual summoned object simultaneously, and by displaying the virtual character and the virtual summoned object through different virtual scene screens, the user can observe the virtual character and the virtual summoned object simultaneously and can simultaneously make a pre-determination and operation on the movement of the virtual character and the virtual summoned object, thereby expanding the range that the user can observe and improving the accuracy of the user's control.

[0121] In one possible embodiment, after displaying a first scene screen on the virtual scene interface and displaying a thumbnail of a second scene screen superimposed on the first scene screen, in response to receiving a screen switching operation, the display positions of the first scene screen and the second scene screen can be switched, i.e., the thumbnail of the first scene screen can be superimposed on the second scene screen. Optionally, switching the display positions of the first scene screen and the second scene screen refers to swapping the display positions of the first scene screen and the second scene screen. As shown in FIG. 8, it is a schematic diagram showing a virtual scene interface according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, and as shown in FIG. 8, a thumbnail 810 of a second scene screen is displayed on a first scene screen 800, and in one possible case, a screen switching control 820 for switching between the first scene screen and the second scene screen in response to receiving a switching operation based on the screen switching control 820 may be displayed in the virtual scene interface, or in another possible case, the screen switching operation may be expressed as dragging the second scene screen into the display area of ​​the first scene screen to switch between the first scene screen and the second scene screen based on a drag operation of the second scene screen, and may be expressed as dragging the first scene screen into the display area of ​​the thumbnail of the second scene screen to switch between the first scene screen and the second scene screen based on a drag operation of the first scene screen.

[0122] In one possible embodiment, the virtual scene interface may be returned to the second scene screen.

[0123] In response to the screen restoration condition being satisfied, restoring and displaying the second scene screen on the virtual scene interface; The screen recovery condition is: receiving a trigger operation on a release control in the virtual scene interface; Or, the corresponding trigger effect of the virtual summon has been triggered; Or, the time that has elapsed since the summoning of the virtual summoned object has reached a preset effective time.

[0124] That is, the virtual scene interface can be returned to the second scene screen in the following cases:

[0125] 1) A control release control is displayed in the virtual scene interface, and in response to receiving a touch operation performed on the control release control, the first scene screen is closed and the virtual scene interface is returned to the second scene screen. As shown in Fig. 9, which is a schematic diagram showing a first scene screen according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, as shown in Fig. 9, the virtual scene interface 900 includes a control release control 910, which releases control over the virtual summoned object, and when a user performs a touch operation on the control release control 910, the user can release control over the virtual summoned object and log out of the first scene screen to observe the virtual scene at a viewing angle corresponding to the virtual summoned object.

[0126] 2) The virtual summon has a corresponding trigger effect, and in response to the virtual summon exerting the corresponding trigger effect, i.e., the trigger effect of the virtual summon expiring, the first scene screen is closed and the virtual scene interface is returned to the second scene screen.

[0127] 3) The virtual summoned object has a preset effective time after being summoned, and in response to the expiration of the preset effective time of the virtual summoned object, the first scene screen is closed and the virtual scene interface is returned to the second scene screen.

[0128] In one possible embodiment, a first scene screen is displayed in a virtual scene interface, and a thumbnail of a second scene screen is superimposed on the first scene screen, and then the second scene screen is closed in response to receiving a designated operation based on the second scene screen. As shown in FIG. 10, which is a schematic diagram showing a second scene screen superimposed on the first scene screen according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, a virtual scene screen close control 1010 may be displayed on the second scene screen 1000, and a user may close the second scene screen by touching the close control. Alternatively, a screen close operation may be preset, and the screen close operation may be clicking a preset area of ​​the second scene screen, or performing a double click operation or a triple click operation, etc., based on the second scene screen.

[0129] When possible, a minimap may be displayed in the virtual scene, and the movement path of the virtual summoned object may be displayed on the minimap. As shown in FIG. 11, it is a schematic diagram showing a virtual scene interface according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 11, when the first virtual screen displays the virtual summoned object moving in the virtual scene, the movement trajectory of the virtual summoned object 1110 can be mapped in real time to the minimap 1120, so that the user can observe the movement path of the virtual summoned object as a whole and make a more comprehensive judgment on the movement path of the virtual summoned object.

[0130] As described above, the method for controlling a virtual object in a virtual scene according to an embodiment of the present application, when controlling a virtual summoned object whose movement path is controllable in a virtual scene, displays in the virtual scene a second scene screen when the virtual scene is observed from a visual angle corresponding to the virtual character, and a first scene screen when the virtual scene is observed from a visual angle corresponding to the virtual summoned object, respectively. When controlling the virtual character and the virtual summoned object simultaneously, the user can observe the controlled object in different display areas, thereby simultaneously considering multiple virtual objects in the virtual scene and reducing the switching operation required to change the controlled object, thereby improving the efficiency of human-computer interaction and the control accuracy of the virtual objects, and further reducing waste of processing resources and power resources of the terminal.

[0131] Taking a game scene as an example, the virtual summoned object is a flying arrow, and the summoned object control is a flying arrow control, as shown in Fig. 12, which is a flowchart showing a virtual object control method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The virtual object control method may be executed by a terminal (a client in the terminal described above), may be executed by a server, or may be executed by a terminal and a server interacting with each other, and the terminal and the server may be the terminal and the server in the system shown in Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 12, the virtual object control method includes the following steps (1210 to 1260).

[0132] In step 1210, the user releases the arrow by clicking on the arrow control control, which is an arrow release control.

[0133] In step 1220, the arrow control is transformed into an arrow path control.

[0134] In step 1230, the user again clicks on the arrow path control to enter the arrow path operation state.

[0135] In step 1240, it is determined whether the screen restoration condition is met, and if so, step 1250 is executed; if not, step 1260 is executed.

[0136] In step 1250, the flow control state is closed.

[0137] In step 1260, the movement of the virtual character and the movement of the arrow are controlled based on the user's operation.

[0138] After the virtual character activates the arrow skill, the arrow skill transforms into another skill, and the user clicks the arrow control again, and the virtual character enters the arrow skill operation state, in which the character can move freely and synchronously perform the arrow skill operation, and the user can also click the close button to exit the arrow skill operation state.

[0139] As described above, the virtual object control method according to the embodiment of the present application uses a summoned object control to control the movement of a virtual summoned object in a virtual scene, and uses a character control to control the movement of a virtual character in a virtual scene, thereby realizing simultaneous operation of multiple virtual objects in a virtual scene, thereby taking into account multiple virtual objects in the virtual scene simultaneously, reducing switching operations required to change the object to be controlled, improving the efficiency of human-computer interaction and the control accuracy of virtual objects, and further reducing waste of processing resources and power resources of the terminal.
