[0105] As shown in FIG. 1, a flight control method in a game provided by the first embodiment of the application provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device, the graphical user interface displays a game scene including a target virtual character, a virtual camera in the game and the target virtual character have a preset binding position relationship, and the flight control method includes the following steps. Figure 1a

[0106] S101, in response to a first touch operation on a first control area in the graphical user interface, controlling the target virtual character to fly towards a target direction in the game scene, and at the same time, controlling the virtual camera to keep the binding position relationship and move towards the target direction following the target virtual character.

[0107] S102, in response to a first sliding operation on the first control area, which is continuous with the first touch operation, according to a first sliding direction of the first sliding operation, controlling the target virtual character to turn and fly towards a first turning direction relative to the target direction, and at the same time, controlling the virtual camera to keep the binding position relationship and move towards the first turning direction following the target virtual character.

[0108] ​S103, in response to the end of the first sliding operation, controlling the target virtual character to stop flying, and controlling the virtual camera to keep the binding positional relationship and follow the target virtual character to stop moving.

[0109] The flight control method in the game provided by the embodiments of the present application can realize all-around steering flight control of the target virtual character by the single-hand operation of the first control region, improve the flexibility of the operation of the player, reduce the difficulty of the operation of the player, and improve the operation efficiency of the player.

[0110] The following will take the terminal device as an example to describe the above-mentioned exemplary steps of the embodiments of the present application.

[0111] S101, in response to the first touch operation on the first control region in the graphical user interface, controlling the target virtual character to fly towards a target direction in the game scene, and controlling the virtual camera to keep the binding positional relationship and follow the target virtual character to move towards the target direction.

[0112] In the embodiments of the present application, a graphical user interface is provided by the terminal device, and a game scene of a game is displayed in the graphical user interface, and the game scene includes a target virtual character controlled by the player. In practice, the game also includes other virtual characters controlled by other players. Here, the target virtual character and the other virtual characters can be virtual characters flying in the air, such as a person sitting on a flying broom, a flying vehicle (for example, a fighter, a drone, a spaceship), etc.

[0113] In addition, the game also includes a virtual camera, which is used to shoot the game scene and display on the graphical user interface. The virtual camera and the target virtual character controlled by the player have a preset binding positional relationship, so that the player can control the binding target virtual character and the virtual camera to move simultaneously by a specific operation, and stop moving simultaneously after the operation is ended; or control the virtual camera to rotate around the target virtual character by another specific operation, and make the virtual camera return to a position corresponding to the binding positional relationship with the target virtual character after the operation is ended. Optionally, the binding positional relationship is that the virtual camera faces the back of the target virtual character, and has a preset distance from the target virtual character.

[0114] As Figure 1bAs shown, the first control region 101, which is a forward and steering operation region, is included in the graphical user interface 100. Optionally, the first control region can be located at a left side position (such as a whole left side position or a middle and lower left side position) of the graphical user interface 100, so as to facilitate the player to control the forward and steering of the target virtual character 201 by the left hand. The first control region 101 can also be located at a right side position (such as a whole right side position or a middle and lower right side position) of the graphical user interface 100, so as to facilitate the player to control the forward and steering of the target virtual character by the right hand. In the embodiment of the present application, the target virtual character 201 is at any position in the sky of the game scene 200, and the player can control the target virtual character 201 to fly towards the front of the game scene 200 by triggering a first touch operation on the first control region 101. At the same time, the virtual camera is controlled to keep the above-mentioned binding position relationship and move synchronously with the target virtual character 201, that is, the virtual camera is controlled to move synchronously with the target virtual character 201 towards the front. Here, the target direction is the forward direction of the target virtual character 201 (specifically, the front of the target virtual character), and the specific target direction can be the front of the target virtual character 201 (specifically, the front of the target virtual character) in the game scene. Optionally, the first touch operation is a click operation on the first control region 101.

[0115] That is, the player can control the target virtual character 201 and the virtual camera to move synchronously by clicking the first control region 101. With the target virtual character 201 flying towards the front and the virtual camera moving towards the front, the game scene 200 seen by the player also changes towards the front.

[0116] S102, in response to a first sliding operation on the first control region, which is continuous with the first touch operation, according to a first sliding direction of the first sliding operation, the target virtual character is controlled to fly towards a first steering direction relative to the target direction, and the virtual camera is controlled to keep the binding position relationship and move towards the first steering direction with the target virtual character.

[0117] In the embodiment of the present application, the player triggers a first sliding operation on the first control region, which is continuous with the first touch operation. The terminal device determines a first steering direction of the target virtual character relative to the target direction according to a first sliding direction of the first sliding operation, and controls the target virtual character to fly towards the first steering direction. At the same time, the virtual camera is controlled to keep the binding position relationship and move towards the first steering direction with the target virtual character.

[0118] The target direction is a forward direction of the target virtual character (for example, a front direction of the target virtual character), and the first turning direction is any direction in the game scene other than the forward direction.

[0119] That is, the player can control the target virtual character to turn and fly by triggering the first sliding operation in the first control area, and the virtual camera can keep the above binding relationship to turn and move synchronously, and the game scene viewed by the player also presents a change after turning.

[0120] S103, in response to the end of the first sliding operation, controlling the target virtual character to stop flying, and controlling the virtual camera to keep the binding position relationship to stop moving following the target virtual character.

[0121] In the embodiments of the application, when the first sliding operation triggered by the player is released, the first sliding operation ends, at this time, the target virtual character in the binding relationship is controlled to stop flying, and the virtual camera in the binding relationship is controlled to stop moving.

[0122] Further, the embodiments of the application also define the turning angle (i.e., the turning amplitude) corresponding to the unit displacement (i.e., the unit sliding distance) by classifying the sliding speed of the first sliding operation, and then determine the real-time first turning angle of the target virtual character according to the real-time first sliding speed of the first sliding operation, so as to control the target virtual character to fly according to the first turning angle. Based on this, in response to the first sliding operation continuous to the first touch operation on the first control area, the flight control method further comprises:

[0123] Detect the first sliding speed and the first sliding distance of the first sliding operation every preset time period; determine the target speed gear to which the first sliding speed belongs, and determine the first turning angle corresponding to the first sliding distance according to the first corresponding relationship between the unit sliding distance and the turning angle in the target speed gear;

[0124] The control of the target virtual character to fly towards the first turning direction relative to the target direction comprises: controlling the target virtual character to fly towards the first turning direction and according to the first turning angle.

[0125] In the embodiment of the present application, the detection time of the first sliding speed and the first sliding distance (i.e. the moving range) of each first sliding operation is defined in advance to capture the real-time operation information (i.e. the first sliding operation triggered by the player) and to feed back to the game screen in real time. Here, the detection time can be set to 0.1 seconds (this time can be flexibly adjusted), that is, 10 basic operation data (i.e. operation data of the first sliding operation) will be generated every second and reflected in the game. According to the above hierarchical logic, in the embodiment of the present application, the sliding gear of the first sliding operation is further subdivided, and the more subdivided, the closer to the smooth variable steering. In practice, the desired control feeling of the player can be debugged by flexibly adjusting the specific data such as the first sliding speed and the first sliding distance corresponding to each steering gear.

[0126] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, a plurality of speed gears are constructed in advance, each speed gear including a sliding speed range and a steering angle corresponding to a unit sliding distance; wherein the larger the speed gear, the larger the sliding speed range included in the speed gear, and the larger the steering angle corresponding to the unit sliding distance under the speed gear.

[0127] For example, the pre-constructed speed gears are three, which are speed gear 1, speed gear 2 and speed gear 3; wherein in the speed gear 1: the sliding speed range is "a speed less than or equal to n pixels / second", and the steering angle corresponding to the unit sliding distance (for example, setting 10 pixels per sliding as the unit sliding distance) is 1 degree; in the speed gear 2: the sliding speed range is "a speed greater than n pixels / second and less than or equal to 2n pixels / second", and the steering angle corresponding to the unit sliding distance is 10 degrees; in the speed gear 3: the sliding speed range is "a speed greater than 2n pixels / second", and the steering angle corresponding to the unit sliding distance is 100 degrees.

[0128] After the desired feeling of the player is debugged, the preset time period and the speed gear are determined, and when the player triggers the first sliding operation in the first control area of the graphical user interface, the first sliding speed and the first sliding distance of the first sliding operation are detected according to the debugged preset time period; when the sliding speed of the first sliding speed is small (assuming that this small sliding speed is located in the speed gear 1, and the corresponding sliding speed range is a speed less than or equal to n pixels / second), it is judged as a micro steering. At this time, the steering gear is set to 1 gear (we temporarily set the gear to 3 gears), and when it is judged as 1 gear, 10 pixels per sliding is fed back as 1 degree of steering.

[0129] If the player continues to trigger the first sliding operation at a speed of "less than or equal to n pixels / second" in the speed gear 1, it is determined that the speed gear 1, and the steering angle in the speed gear 1 (i.e., 1 degree) is taken as the steering range of the target virtual character as a target. When the player continues to slide at a speed of "greater than n pixels / second and less than 2n pixels / second" in the speed gear 2, it is determined that the speed gear 2, and the steering angle in the speed gear 2 (i.e., 10 degrees) is taken as the steering range of the target virtual character as a target. When the player continues to slide at a speed of "greater than 2n pixels / second" in the speed gear 3, it is determined that the speed gear 3, and the steering angle in the speed gear 3 (i.e., 100 degrees) is taken as the steering range of the target virtual character as a target.

[0130] Here, when the sliding speed is fast enough (i.e., reaches the first set threshold) and / or the sliding distance is long enough (i.e., reaches the second set threshold), the target virtual character can be controlled to quickly turn 180 degrees, and can stay for a preset time after the 180-degree turn to prevent continuous steering from causing screen dizziness.

[0131] Based on this, after determining the first steering angle corresponding to the first sliding distance, the target virtual character is controlled to fly in the first steering direction and at the first steering angle determined in real time. That is, the first steering direction of the target virtual character follows the first sliding direction of the first sliding operation, and the first steering angle of the target virtual character can be large or small.

[0132] Optionally, as shown in Figure 1b The first virtual joystick 102 in the first control area 101 is used to indicate the first steering direction of the target virtual character 201 relative to the target direction. For example, the target virtual character 201 flies towards the front, and the player controls the target virtual character 201 to fly towards the left side of the game scene 200 through the first sliding operation. Correspondingly, the first virtual joystick 102 flies to the left side following the first sliding operation, and is used to indicate the first steering direction of the target virtual character 201 in the game scene 200 controlled by the player through the first sliding direction on the graphical user interface 100.

[0133] In the embodiments of the present application, the first virtual joystick can be displayed after starting the game, or the first virtual joystick can be provided in the first control area in response to the first touch operation on the first control area of the graphical user interface.

[0134] Optionally, the first control region further comprises a wheel 103, and the first virtual joystick 102 is located in the wheel 103 and moves in the wheel 103, and the maximum moving limit of the first virtual joystick 102 is the edge position of the wheel 103. When the first sliding operation is not triggered (i.e. in the normal state), the first virtual joystick 102 is located at the center position of the wheel 103, and when the first sliding operation is triggered, the first virtual joystick 102 moves in the wheel 103 following the first sliding operation. When the first virtual joystick 102 moves to the maximum limit in a certain direction in the wheel 103, the first sliding operation in the first direction is still continuing, at this time, the first virtual joystick 102 is kept at the maximum limit position in the wheel 103 in the direction, and the wheel 103 is controlled to move following the continuing first sliding operation, that is, in this state, the wheel 103 moves following the continuing first sliding operation with the first virtual joystick 102 at the maximum limit.

[0135] In the embodiment of the present application, the graphic user interface further comprises a second control region in addition to the first control region, and the second control region is a player view rotation operation region. The player can adjust the view of the target virtual character by operating the second control region, and the view rotation does not affect the operation logic of the left steering, but only changes the observation view of the player.

[0136] Further, the flight control method in the game provided by the embodiment of the present application further comprises:

[0137] In response to a second sliding operation on the second control region of the graphic user interface, the target virtual character is controlled to keep the current state, a second steering direction of the virtual camera relative to the target virtual character is generated according to a second sliding direction of the second sliding operation, and the virtual camera is controlled to rotate around the target virtual character along the second steering direction; the second control region and the first control region are located at different positions of the graphic user interface.

[0138] As Figure 1bAs shown, the first control area 101 is located at the left side of the graphical user interface 100, and the second control area 104 is located at the right side of the graphical user interface 100 (for example, the entire right side or the lower middle of the right side), so that the player can control the target virtual character 201 to move forward and turn by the left hand, and control the view angle of the player to the target virtual character 201 by the right hand. In addition, some players are used to controlling the target virtual character 201 to move forward and turn by the right hand, and controlling the view angle of the player to the target virtual character 201 by the left hand. Therefore, the first control area 101 can be located at the right side of the graphical user interface 100, and the second control area 104 can be located at the left side of the graphical user interface 100 (for example, the entire left side or the lower middle of the left side).

[0139] As described above, the virtual camera in the game and the target virtual character controlled by the player have a preset binding position relationship. At this time, the view angle of the player to the target virtual character is fixed (i.e., the initial view angle). The player can control the target virtual character to move forward or turn by operating the first control area without changing the view angle. The player can change the view angle to the target virtual character by operating the second control area, i.e., change the binding position relationship between the virtual camera and the target virtual character, specifically, control the virtual camera to rotate around the target virtual character, and return to the fixed view angle of the player to the target virtual character (i.e., the initial view angle) after the operation is completed. At this time, the virtual camera is controlled to return to the position corresponding to the binding position relationship with the target virtual character.

[0140] In addition, in the embodiment of the application, when the second sliding operation triggered by the player is completed, the virtual camera is controlled to return to the original position having the preset binding position relationship with the target virtual character in response to the end of the second sliding operation.

[0141] Specifically, when the player does not click the second control area, the view angle of the player remains at the back of the flying character. When the player clicks the second control area and slides, only the displacement variables of the x-axis and y-axis of the steering wheel are judged. The rotation in the vertical and horizontal directions with the flying character as the center is fed back, so as to keep the stability of the view angle change and prevent the player from losing the spatial direction. When the player releases the operation of the right area, the initial view angle, i.e., the back of the flying character, is automatically turned to.

[0142] Here, when the player does not trigger the click operation for the second control area, the view angle of the player looking at the target virtual character does not change, that is, the binding positional relationship between the virtual camera and the target virtual character does not change; when the player triggers the second sliding operation for the second control area, at this time, if the player controls the target virtual character to be in a flight state (at this time, it does not matter whether the target virtual character turns or not, as long as it is in a flight state) by operating the first control area, then the current flight state of the target virtual character is kept unchanged, and at the same time, the virtual camera is controlled to rotate around the target virtual character along a corresponding second turning direction according to the second sliding direction of the second sliding operation; and at this time, if the player does not operate the first control area, then the target virtual character is in an air static state, at this time, the current air static state of the target virtual character is kept unchanged, and at the same time, the virtual camera is controlled to rotate around the target virtual character along a matching second turning direction according to the second sliding direction of the second sliding operation.

[0143] In the embodiments of the present application, the judgment logic of the second control area is that the second sliding distance (that is, the sliding amplitude) of the second sliding operation is proportional to the second turning angle, and specifically, while responding to the second sliding operation for the second control area in the graphical user interface, the flight control method further includes: determining the second sliding distance of the second sliding operation, and determining the second turning angle corresponding to the second sliding distance according to a second corresponding relationship between a unit sliding distance and a turning angle which is set in advance;

[0144] The control of the virtual camera rotating around the target virtual character along the second turning direction includes: control of the virtual camera rotating around the target virtual character along the second turning direction and according to the second turning angle.

[0145] In the embodiments of the present application, the second corresponding relationship between a unit sliding distance and a turning angle is set in advance, for example, a unit sliding distance of 10 pixels corresponds to a second turning angle of 10 degrees, after the second sliding distance of the second sliding operation is determined, the second turning angle corresponding to the second sliding distance can be determined according to the second corresponding relationship, and then the virtual camera is controlled to rotate around the target virtual character along the second turning direction and according to the second turning angle.

[0146] In the embodiments of the present application, the specific surface (for example, the back of the target virtual character) of the virtual camera and the target virtual character in the game has a preset binding positional relationship, here, each second turning direction corresponds to a preset maximum turning angle, which is the maximum angle of the virtual camera rotating from the specific surface of the target virtual character along the corresponding second turning direction; wherein the maximum turning angles corresponding to different second turning directions are different.

[0147] Here, the second control region includes two spatial control directions of x-axis and y-axis. Here, the initial angles corresponding to the x-axis and y-axis are based on the current orientation of the flight character model, wherein the x-axis is horizontal to the lateral profile of the target virtual character, and the y-axis is parallel to the longitudinal profile of the target virtual character. When the second sliding operation of the player is along the positive direction of the x-axis (i.e., sliding to the right of the x-axis) in the second control region, the second turning direction is that the virtual camera turns around the target virtual character from the rear of the target virtual character along the right side of the target virtual character, and the maximum angle is turning along the right side of the target virtual character to the front of the target virtual character (e.g., the front).

[0148] When the second sliding operation of the player is along the positive direction of the y-axis (i.e., sliding upwards of the y-axis) in the second control region, the second turning direction is that the virtual camera turns around the target virtual character from the rear of the target virtual character along the upper side of the target virtual character, and the maximum angle is turning along the upper side of the target virtual character to the top of the target virtual character. When the second sliding operation of the player is along the negative direction of the y-axis (i.e., sliding downwards of the y-axis) in the second control region, the second turning direction is that the virtual camera turns around the target virtual character from the rear of the target virtual character along the lower side of the target virtual character, and the maximum angle is turning along the lower side of the target virtual character to the bottom of the target virtual character.

[0149] In addition, when the second sliding operation of the player is moved along the direction considering the x-axis and the y-axis, the principle is similar to moving along the direction of the x-axis and the y-axis, but the setting of the maximum angle is to ensure that the player can better present the view of the target virtual character.

[0150] As shown in Figure 1b The second control region 104 includes a second virtual joystick 105, which moves in the second control region 104 following the second sliding operation, and the second virtual joystick 105 is used to indicate the second turning direction of the virtual camera turning around the target virtual character. For example, the player controls the virtual camera to turn around the target virtual character from the rear of the target virtual character along the left side of the target virtual character by the second sliding operation, and the maximum angle is turning along the left side of the target virtual character to the front of the target virtual character (e.g., the front). At this time, the first virtual joystick 102 moves to the negative direction of the x-axis of the second control region 104 following the second sliding operation, and is used to indicate the second turning direction of the virtual camera turning around the target virtual character.

[0151] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the second control area 104 needs to include the second virtual joystick 105, and can also include a joystick moving area 106. Here, the second virtual joystick 105 can be displayed all the time, or can be provided in the second control area 104 in response to a third touch operation on the second control area 104 of the graphical user interface. Correspondingly, the joystick moving area 106 can also be displayed all the time, or can be provided in the second control area 104 in response to the third touch operation on the second control area 104 of the graphical user interface.

[0152] Here, the third touch operation can be a click operation. Once the player clicks the second control area, the second virtual joystick can be displayed on the graphical user interface, or the second virtual joystick and the joystick moving area can be provided in the second control area.

[0153] Further, as shown in the figure, the flight control method in the game provided by the embodiment of the present application further includes a joystick moving area in the second control area, and the initial position of the second virtual joystick is located at the center position of the joystick moving area, and the maximum moving limit of the second virtual joystick is to move to the edge position of the joystick moving area. Figure 2

[0154] S201, in response to the second sliding distance of the second sliding operation being less than or equal to the maximum sliding distance corresponding to the second sliding direction, controlling the second virtual joystick to slide in the joystick moving area following the second sliding operation; wherein the maximum sliding distance is determined according to the second turning direction determined under the second sliding direction; each maximum turning angle corresponds to a maximum sliding distance of the second sliding operation.

[0155] S202, in response to the second sliding distance of the second sliding operation being greater than the corresponding maximum sliding distance, determining the position state of the second virtual joystick in the joystick moving area when the second sliding distance is equal to the maximum sliding distance, and controlling the second virtual joystick and the joystick moving area to move together following the second sliding operation on the premise of maintaining the position state.

[0156] ​In combination with steps 201-202, each maximum steering angle corresponds to a maximum sliding distance of a second sliding operation; when the second sliding distance of the second sliding operation triggered by the player is less than or equal to the maximum sliding distance corresponding to the current second sliding direction, the second virtual joystick is controlled to slide in the joystick moving area following the second sliding operation; as the second sliding operation continues, when the second sliding distance of the second sliding operation is greater than the maximum sliding distance, first, the position state of the second virtual joystick in the joystick moving area when the second sliding distance of the second sliding operation is equal to the maximum sliding distance is determined (for example, the second virtual joystick is at an edge position), and the second virtual joystick and the joystick moving area are controlled to continue moving following the subsequent second sliding operation along the same second sliding direction while maintaining the position state.

[0157] Further, as shown in FIG. 1, in the embodiment of the present application, the graphical user interface 100 further includes a special effect flight control 107 located above the second control area 104, which functions to switch the forward and steering control functions of the first control area 101 to the special effect flight function of the target virtual character 201 when triggered. Specifically, the flight control method further includes: Figure 1b and Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1, in the embodiment of the present application, the graphical user interface 100 further includes a special effect flight control 107 located above the second control area 104, which functions to switch the forward and steering control functions of the first control area 101 to the special effect flight function of the target virtual character 201 when triggered. Specifically, the flight control method further includes:

[0158] S301, in response to a second touch operation on the special effect flight control, determining the current state of the target virtual character, and switching the first control area to a third control area while controlling the target virtual character to maintain the current state.

[0159] S302, in response to a third sliding operation on the third control area, controlling the target virtual character to fly towards the target direction while following the third sliding operation to perform a special effect flight action, and controlling the virtual camera to maintain the binding positional relationship with the target virtual character to move towards the target direction following the target virtual character.

[0160] In combination with steps 301-302, the special effect flight control functions to switch the forward and steering control functions of the first control area to the special effect flight function of the target virtual character when triggered. Therefore, in order to facilitate player operation, the special effect flight control is arranged above the second control area, so that, for example, the player controls the first control area with the left hand and operates the second control area with the right hand, the player can operate the second control area with the right thumb and operate the special effect flight control with the right index finger, and accordingly, after the forward and steering control functions of the first control area are switched to the special effect flight function of the target virtual character, the player can still operate the first control area (i.e., the third control area) with the left hand.

[0161] Here, the player determines the current state of the target virtual character (for example, flying in the air of the game scene or stationary in the air of the game scene) after triggering the second touch operation (for example, clicking the special effect flight control and continuously holding the operation) for the special effect flight control, and then controls the target virtual character to maintain the current state of the control flight or stationary state in the game scene while switching the forward and turning control function to the special effect flight function of the target virtual character. Here, the first control area switched to the special effect flight function of the target virtual character becomes the third control area. Then, the player controls the target virtual character to fly towards the target direction through the third sliding operation on the third control area, regardless of the previous state of the target virtual character (i.e., whether the target virtual character is in a flying state or in a stationary state in the air). Here, the target virtual character is also controlled to perform a special effect flight action following the third sliding operation, while keeping the player's view of the target virtual character unchanged (i.e., controlling the virtual camera to maintain a binding position relationship with the target virtual character and follow the target virtual character moving towards the target direction).

[0162] Here, controlling the target virtual character to perform a special effect flight action according to the third sliding operation includes controlling the target virtual character to fly according to a curved route matching the sliding trajectory of the third sliding operation. As shown in Figure 1c and 1d The sliding trajectory of the third sliding operation can be a curved trajectory or a snake-shaped trajectory or a spiral trajectory.

[0163] Here, the player clicks the "stunt control" and continuously holds it, and the first control area is switched to the third control area, and the first virtual joystick of the first control area is switched to the operation joystick of the stunt action, which is used to perform roll, lateral and longitudinal dodge, etc. When performing the roll action, the character can only maintain forward flight until the "stunt button" is released (because the operation nature of the left joystick has changed, and there is no turning operation area on the entire screen when performing the stunt action). Through the "stunt control" function, the player can draw some winding routes with the left joystick to make the flying character perform some special roll actions.

[0164] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, in response to the third control area satisfying a preset switching back condition, the third control area is switched back to the first control area; the preset switching back condition at least includes: the end of the second touch operation or the duration of the third control area satisfying a preset time threshold.

[0165] Here, when the second touch operation triggered by the player ends or the duration of the third control area meets the preset time threshold, the third control area is switched to the first control area. At this time, the player can still control the flight direction of the target virtual character by operating the first control area.

[0166] Here, the second touch operation ends in the following ways: for example, the second touch operation is continuous pressing, and it ends when releasing the hand; the second touch operation starts with one click and ends with another click; the duration of the third control area meets the preset time threshold, that is, after the second touch operation starts with one click or is continuously pressed, the flight special effect control will display a countdown, and it will end when the time is up.

[0167] In an embodiment of the present application, the special effect flight control may be displayed all the time, or a special effect flight control may be provided on the graphical user interface in response to a first touch operation on the first control area in the graphical user interface.

[0168] The first embodiment of the present application provides a flight control method in the above-mentioned game. The player can complete all-round steering flight control of the target virtual character by operating the first control area with one hand, which improves the player's operation flexibility, reduces the player's operation difficulty, and improves the player's operation efficiency.

[0169] like Figure 4 As shown, a flight control method in a game provided by the second embodiment of the present application is provided, wherein a graphical user interface is provided through a terminal device, wherein the graphical user interface displays a game scene including a target virtual character, a first control area, and special effect flight controls. The flight control method includes:

[0170] S401: In response to a first touch operation on the first control area, control the flying direction of the target virtual character in the game scene.

[0171] S402: In response to a second touch operation on the special effect flight control, control the target virtual character to maintain a current flight direction while switching the first control area to a third control area.

[0172] S403: In response to a first sliding operation on the third control area, control the target virtual character to perform a special effect flying action toward the current flying direction according to the first sliding operation.

[0173] The flight control method in the game provided by the embodiments of the present application can switch the first control area corresponding to the flight direction control function to the third control area corresponding to the special effect flight control through the second touch operation on the special effect flight control, thereby enriching the flight control function of the target virtual role, improving the flexibility of the player operation, reducing the operation difficulty of the player, and improving the operation efficiency of the player.

[0174] The following describes the above exemplary steps of the embodiments of the present application by taking the flight control method in the game applied to the terminal device as an example.

[0175] S401, in response to the first touch operation on the first control area, control the flight direction of the target virtual role in the game scene.

[0176] Here, the position of the first control area in the graphical user interface is the same as the related description in the first embodiment, except that the player controls the flight direction of the target virtual role in the game scene through the first touch operation on the first control area, which is not limited to the manner of the first embodiment, but can also be other manners.

[0177] In one way: the virtual camera and the target virtual role in the game have a preset first binding position relationship; the response to the first touch operation on the first control area to control the flight direction of the target virtual role in the game scene includes:

[0178] In response to a second sliding operation on the first control region, according to a second sliding direction of the second sliding operation, the target virtual character and the virtual camera are controlled to fly together toward a first target direction matching the second sliding direction in the game scene while keeping the first binding position, and meanwhile the virtual camera is controlled to rotate along the first target direction relative to the virtual camera. Here, the first touch operation is the first sliding operation based on the first touch operation, and the first binding position relationship binds the position relationship between the model of the target virtual character (not limited to a specific surface) and the virtual camera. Through the second sliding operation, the player controls the target virtual character and the virtual camera to fly together, and also controls the virtual camera to rotate along the first target direction relative to the virtual camera. In addition, the first target direction matching the second sliding direction includes: when the second sliding direction is sliding upwards on the graphical user interface, the corresponding first target direction is a forward flight direction of the target virtual character facing away from the virtual camera (correspondingly, the target virtual character flies forward facing away from the virtual camera); when the second sliding direction is sliding to the left on the graphical user interface, the corresponding first target direction is a forward flight direction of the target virtual character with the left side facing the virtual camera; when the second sliding direction is sliding downwards on the graphical user interface, the corresponding first target direction is a forward flight direction of the target virtual character facing the virtual camera; and when the second sliding direction is sliding to the right on the graphical user interface, the corresponding first target direction is a forward flight direction of the target virtual character with the right side facing the virtual camera.

[0179] In another way, the virtual camera and the target virtual character in the game have a preset second binding position relationship (the second binding position relationship is the binding position relationship in the first embodiment, that is, the virtual camera binds the back of the target virtual character and has a preset distance from the target virtual character); at this time, the control of the flight direction of the target virtual character in the game scene is the same as in the first embodiment. Specific explanation is not repeated here, and specifically, the player can control the target virtual character to fly toward the front of the game scene by triggering the first touch operation on the first control region, and at the same time, control the virtual camera to keep the above binding position relationship and move synchronously with the target virtual character. That is, in this control mode, the virtual camera always follows the target virtual character and moves synchronously with the target virtual character.

[0180] S402、in response to a second touch operation on the special effect flight control, the target virtual character is controlled to keep the current flight direction while the first control region is switched to a third control region.

[0181] The special flight control is used to switch the first control area of the forward and steering control function to the third control area of the corresponding special flight function when triggered. Optionally, in order to facilitate the player's operation, the special flight control is arranged above the second control area, so that, taking the example that the player controls the first control area with the left hand and controls the second control area with the right hand, the player can operate the second control area with the right thumb and operate the special flight control with the right index finger, and correspondingly, after the first control area is switched to the third control area of the special flight function of the target virtual character, the player can still operate the first control area (i.e., the third control area) after switching with the left hand.

[0182] S403、in response to the first sliding operation on the third control area, controlling the target virtual character to perform a special flight action according to the first sliding operation in the current flight direction.

[0183] Here, the player controls the target virtual character to fly towards the target direction through the third sliding operation on the third control area, regardless of the previous state of the target virtual character, and at the same time, controls the target virtual character to perform a special flight action following the third sliding operation, while keeping the player's view of the target virtual character unchanged (i.e., controlling the virtual camera to keep a binding position relationship with the target virtual character and follow the target virtual character to move towards the target direction).

[0184] Here, controlling the target virtual character to perform a special flight action according to the third sliding operation includes controlling the target virtual character to fly according to a curved route matching the sliding trajectory of the third sliding operation. As shown in Figure 1c and 1d The sliding trajectory of the third sliding operation can be a curved trajectory or a snake-shaped trajectory or a spiral trajectory.

[0185] Here, the player clicks the "stunt control" and holds it, and the first control area is switched to the third control area, and the first virtual joystick of the first control area is switched to the operation joystick of the stunt action, which is used to perform roll, lateral and longitudinal dodging, etc. When performing the roll action, the character can only keep flying forward until the "stunt button" is released (because the operation nature of the left joystick has changed, and there is no steering operation area on the entire screen when performing the stunt action); through the "stunt control" function, the player can draw some winding routes with the left joystick to make the flying character perform some special roll actions.

[0186] In addition, in the embodiment of the application, the third control area is switched back to the first control area in response to the third control area satisfying a preset switching-back condition; the preset switching-back condition at least includes an end of the second touch operation or a duration of the third control area satisfying a preset time threshold.
