Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of computers, and in particular, to a method and device for controlling virtual characters, a storage medium, and an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] In current game applications, especially in games where players play online against each other in different camps, generally, after a virtual character dies, the player can only choose to watch other virtual characters continue to participate in the current game round, or, after a fixed time period, the virtual character resurrects at a predetermined position. However, in the first game mode, after the virtual character dies, the player's sense of participation in the game is weak, resulting in an inability to guarantee the control efficiency of the virtual character. In the second game mode, the resurrection time is fixed, and the resurrection restriction conditions are weak, resulting in a decrease in the efficiency of players killing other players in the game application.

[0102] S3. Adjust the game state of the second virtual character (virtual character A) from the undead state to the dead state, and adjust the game state of the third virtual character (virtual character D) from the dead state to the undead state.

[0103] The above is only an example, and this embodiment does not make any specific limitations.

[0104] Optionally, in this embodiment, the virtual characters in the same camp described above can be understood as including, but not limited to, multiple virtual characters with the same game objective, or the virtual characters are in the same team. The third virtual character in the dead state is the third virtual character in the dead state before starting to execute the target usage instruction on the target virtual object. At this time, the target virtual object is configured as an instant-use virtual object. The third virtual character in the dead state is the third virtual character in the dead state before ending the execution of the target usage instruction on the target virtual object. At this time, the target virtual object is configured as a continuous-use virtual object.

[0105] Optionally, in this embodiment, the display that the game state of the second virtual character is adjusted from the non-dead state to the dead state and the game state of the third virtual character is adjusted from the dead state to the non-dead state may include, but not limited to, displaying the game state adjustment information of the second virtual character. For example, in the target game application, it is displayed that the second virtual character "has fallen in battle" and the third virtual character "has been resurrected", etc. In the specific implementation process, it may include, but not limited to, when the target game application is a single-player game application, directly adjusting the game state of the second virtual character from the non-dead state to the dead state on the terminal device, and adjusting the game state of the third virtual character from the dead state to the non-dead state, and then displaying that the game state of the second virtual character is adjusted from the non-dead state to the dead state and displaying that the game state of the third virtual character is adjusted from the dead state to the non-dead state. It may also include, but not limited to, when the target game application is an online game, sending a message of selecting the second virtual character in the non-dead state and the third virtual character in the dead state to the server on the terminal device. After the server receives the message of selecting the second virtual character in the non-dead state and the third virtual character in the dead state, it generates an instruction message to adjust the game state of the second virtual character from the non-dead state to the dead state and adjust the game state of the third virtual character from the dead state to the non-dead state. After the terminal device receives the above instruction message, as Figure 5 shown, the game state of the second virtual character is displayed as adjusted from the non-dead state to the dead state on the terminal device, and the game state of the third virtual character is displayed as adjusted from the dead state to the non-dead state.

[0106] The above is only an example, and this embodiment does not make any specific limitations.

[0107] In this embodiment, a target usage instruction executed on a target virtual object is obtained. The target virtual object is a virtual object possessed by a first virtual character, and the target virtual object is used to allow the resurrection of virtual characters in the same camp as the first virtual character when it is used. The first virtual character is a virtual character controlled in the target game application. When the target virtual object is used in response to the target usage instruction, a second virtual character in an undead state and a third virtual character in a dead state are selected. The second virtual character and the third virtual character are in the same camp as the first virtual character. By displaying that the game state of the second virtual character changes from the undead state to the dead state and the game state of the third virtual character changes from the dead state to the undead state, the purpose of allowing a virtual character to use the target virtual object to change an undead virtual character in the same camp to a dead state and at the same time change a dead virtual character to an undead state, so as to conditionally resurrect a dead virtual character is achieved. Thus, the technical effect of improving the participation efficiency of virtual characters in a game and enhancing the player's gaming experience is realized, and furthermore, the technical problem of low control efficiency of virtual characters is solved.

[0108] As an alternative solution, the selection of the second virtual character in the undead state includes:

[0109] Displaying a first target virtual character set, where the first target virtual character set includes virtual characters in the same camp as the first virtual character and in the undead state;

[0110] Selecting the second virtual character in the undead state from the first target virtual character set.

[0111] Optionally, in this embodiment, the above first target virtual character set may include, but is not limited to, a virtual character set composed of virtual characters in the same camp as the first virtual character and in the undead state.

[0112] For example, if the first virtual character is virtual character A, and virtual characters B, C, and D are virtual characters in the same camp. When using the target virtual object in response to the target usage instruction, the game states of virtual characters B, C, and D are confirmed. When it is determined that the game state of virtual character D is the dead state and the game states of virtual characters B and C are the undead states, virtual characters B and C are used as the virtual characters in the first target virtual character set to display the above first target virtual character set.

[0164] Display a sixth set of virtual characters, where the virtual characters in the sixth set of virtual characters are in the same camp as the first virtual character and are in the dead state, and the death duration of the virtual characters in the sixth set of virtual characters is greater than or equal to a first preset duration, or less than or equal to a second preset duration.

[0165] Optionally, in this embodiment, the virtual characters in the above-mentioned fourth set of virtual characters may include, but are not limited to, the virtual characters in the same camp as the first virtual character and in the dead state found within a range of a first preset distance from the position where the first virtual character is located. For example, teammates who died within a certain nearby range.

[0172] Optionally, in this embodiment, in the process of displaying the virtual character set that is in the same camp as the first virtual character, in a dead state, and the distance from the first virtual character is less than or equal to the second preset distance, it may include but is not limited to simultaneously displaying the death duration of each virtual character in the above virtual character set, the distance between the death position of each virtual character and the second preset position in the game scene where the first virtual character is located, or represents the distance between the death position of each virtual character and the second preset area in the game scene where the first virtual character is located.

[0173] For example, Figure 12 is a schematic diagram of another virtual character control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 12As shown, in the current game, the virtual characters in the same camp as the first virtual character include virtual character A, virtual character B, and virtual character C. The death duration of virtual character A is 10 seconds, the death duration of virtual character B is 8 seconds, and the death duration of virtual character C is 1 second. When displaying the fourth virtual character set, the death duration of each virtual character in the fourth virtual character set can include but is not limited to being displayed as the fourth virtual character set 1202. Specifically, it can also display the distance between the death position of each virtual character in the fourth virtual character set and the first virtual character. For example, the fourth virtual character set 1204, or the distance between the death position of each virtual character and the second preset position in the game scene where the first virtual character is located. For example, the fourth virtual character set 1206, or the distance between the death position of each virtual character and the second preset area in the game scene where the first virtual character is located. For example, the fourth virtual character set 1208.

[0174] The above is only an example, and this embodiment does not make any specific limitations.

[0175] As an optional solution, the method further includes:

[0176] When displaying the fifth virtual character set, display the death duration of each virtual character in the fifth virtual character set.

[0177] Optionally, in this embodiment, it can include but is not limited to as Figure 12 shown in the fourth virtual set 1202. The display method of the content shown in the fourth virtual set 1202 can be the same as that of displaying the death duration of each virtual character in the fifth virtual character set when displaying the fifth virtual character set, except that the death duration of each dead virtual character is displayed.

[0184] Adjusting the game state of the third virtual character from the dead state to the undead state at a second preset position in the game scene where the first virtual character is located.

[0185] Optionally, in this embodiment, adjusting the game state of the third virtual character from the dead state to the undead state may include, but is not limited to, resurrecting the third virtual character in place at the death position of the third virtual character, or resurrecting the third virtual character at a pre-configured second preset position.

[0186] The following further explains and illustrates the present application with specific examples:

[0187] 1. Principle of scanning teammates (corresponding to the aforementioned second virtual character or third virtual character) and displaying them on the notebook:

[0188] The principle of detecting nearby enemies is to use the user as the center point, configure the range R as the detection radius to form a circle, and then calculate the distance between all teammates and the player. As long as the distance is less than the detection range, it belongs to the selected object. Then, all teammates meeting the intrusion conditions are sorted, and the nearest N teammates are selected as targets. Since there is a certain limit on the number of people searched each time, if it exceeds, only the nearest few to the player can be selected.

[0189] 2. Principle of plane resurrection:

[0190] When a player (corresponding to the aforementioned third virtual character) is resurrected by a teammate, they still need to wait for a resurrection plane. This plane appears once every certain period of time, and it will appear approximately N times in a game. N is configured by the planner, and this number is evenly distributed according to the time of the entire game. For example, if a game is 30 minutes long, and the planner configures the number of times the resurrection plane can appear as 5 times, then it will appear once every 6 minutes. When the resurrection plane appears, the perspective of all defeated players will be switched to the perspective of looking at the plane in the air, and then when the plane flies to a point where it can land, the player will parachute out of the plane.

[0191] This perspective originally follows the movement of the player. When the player is being resurrected, this perspective will follow the large plane. The method of following is to obtain the position and direction of the plane, and then follow the movement at a certain distance behind it.

[0192] Specifically, for example, Figure 13 is a schematic diagram of another method for controlling a virtual character according to an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 13 shown, the method for controlling the virtual character includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0193] S1302, start;

[0194] S1304, the resurrection skill (corresponding to the aforementioned target virtual object) is activated;

[0195] S1306, determine whether the skill key (corresponding to the aforementioned target usage instruction) is clicked. If the determination result is no, return to step S1304;

[0196] S1308, when the determination result of S1306 is yes, display the notebook and start scanning for nearby teammates (corresponding to the first target virtual character set and / or the second target virtual character set);

[0197] S1310, determine whether a teammate (corresponding to the aforementioned second virtual character) is scanned. If the determination result is no, return to step S1308;

[0198] S1312, when the determination result of S1310 is yes, display it on the notebook;

[0199] S1314, determine whether the target (corresponding to the aforementioned selected second virtual character in the non-dead state and the third virtual character in the dead state) is clicked. If the determination result is no, return to step S1312;

[0200] S1316, when the determination result of S1314 is yes, send a pop-up window to the teammate;

[0201] S1318, determine whether the teammate agrees to sacrifice;

[0202] S1320, when the determination result of S1318 is yes, the teammate (corresponding to the aforementioned second virtual character) dies, and starts to resurrect other selected teammates (corresponding to the aforementioned third virtual character);

[0203] S1322, determine whether the resurrection aircraft is turned on. If the determination result is no, return to step S1320;

[0204] S1324, when the determination result of S1322 is yes, the resurrected teammate starts the resurrection process and returns to the battlefield, and execute step S1328;

[0205] S1326, when the determination result of S1318 is no, cancel the resurrection process, and execute step S1328;

[0206] S1328, end.
