[0033] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in combination with the embodiments below. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] At present, in flight shooting games, when the virtual vehicle is located in a land scene, the mobile joystick in the game is used to control the horizontal displacement of the virtual vehicle forward, backward, left and right, and the crosshairs and virtual lens movement can be controlled by moving the screen, such as Figure 1a A schematic diagram of a mobile joystick control direction shown in FIG. 1 ; when the virtual vehicle is in an aerial scene, the mobile joystick will be used to control the horizontal rotation of the virtual vehicle, such as Figure 1b Another schematic diagram of the control direction of the mobile joystick is shown. When the virtual vehicle moves in the aerial scene, it is assumed that the virtual camera in the game is not locked, that is, the lens direction of the virtual camera does not change with the forward direction of the virtual vehicle. Since the virtual vehicle can be flipped within a range of 360° when the player controls the mobile joystick, it is easy for the player to cause the forward direction of the virtual vehicle to be inconsistent with the lens direction of the virtual camera when controlling the mobile joystick. For example, the lens direction of the virtual camera is N, and the forward direction of the virtual vehicle after flipping is S, that is, the lens direction is opposite to the forward direction. In addition, since there are fewer reference objects in the aerial scene, the difference in the game screen before and after the virtual camera is flipped is not much, which will be difficult for the player to judge the forward direction of the virtual vehicle after flipping, and it is easier to confuse the player, or even cause a crash due to misoperation.

[0035] In addition, related technologies have proposed that flight shooting games can be played in a locked camera mode, that is, the forward direction of the flying vehicle is always consistent with the lens direction of the virtual camera, and the forward direction of the flying vehicle is reflected by the displacement of the crosshairs on the screen. However, some virtual weapons need to use the crosshairs to aim at hostile flying vehicles. In this scenario, the player needs to adjust the forward direction of the flying vehicle so that the crosshairs can aim at the hostile flying vehicle. However, since the player may not be able to accurately judge the forward direction of the flying vehicle, the crosshairs cannot accurately aim at the hostile flying vehicle, which in turn causes the flying vehicle to be unable to use these virtual weapons to attack the hostile flying vehicle or reduce the accuracy of the attack, which also affects the player's gaming experience.

[0036] Based on this, the present invention provides an auxiliary control method, device and terminal device for a virtual vehicle in a game, which can prompt the player of the vehicle posture of the virtual vehicle, thereby improving the player's gaming experience.

[0037] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, a method for controlling a game disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention is first described in detail. A graphical user interface is provided through a terminal. The game screen displayed by the graphical user interface includes at least part of a virtual scene and a virtual vehicle located in the virtual scene. Figure 2 The flowchart of a method for controlling a game is shown in FIG. 1 , and the method mainly includes the following steps S202 to S208:

[0038] Step S202: providing an auxiliary mark through the game screen, wherein the auxiliary mark is used to identify the posture of the virtual vehicle in the virtual scene, and the posture may include a direction and a rotation angle.

[0039] Step S204, responding to the movement control operation for the virtual vehicle, controlling the virtual vehicle to move in the virtual scene. The movement control operation may include a sliding operation or a dragging operation on a mobile joystick in the game. In one embodiment, a mobile joystick is provided through a graphical user interface. Assuming that the virtual vehicle is located in a land scene, the player can control the virtual vehicle to move from the land scene to the air scene by sliding or dragging the mobile joystick.

[0040] Step S206, responding to the posture control operation for the virtual vehicle, controlling the vehicle posture of the virtual vehicle in the virtual scene. The posture control operation may also include a sliding operation or a dragging operation acting on the mobile joystick, and the vehicle posture includes the vehicle orientation and the vehicle rotation angle. The vehicle orientation may also be referred to as the forward direction, etc. The vehicle rotation angle has directionality. Exemplarily, the vehicle rotation angle may include clockwise and counterclockwise directions. In one embodiment, when the virtual scene is an aerial scene, the player may control the virtual vehicle to rotate 360° by manipulating the mobile joystick, and the vehicle orientation and vehicle rotation angle of the virtual vehicle will change accordingly during the rotation of the virtual vehicle.

[0041] Step S208, control the movement of the auxiliary marker in the game screen according to the vehicle posture. Wherein, the movement includes movement and / or rotation. In one embodiment, in order to facilitate the player to intuitively distinguish the vehicle posture of the virtual vehicle, the movement direction of the auxiliary marker can be determined according to the vehicle orientation, and the rotation direction of the auxiliary marker can be determined according to the vehicle rotation angle, so that the movement of the auxiliary marker is controlled based on the above-mentioned movement direction and rotation direction, and the player can intuitively distinguish the vehicle orientation and the vehicle rotation angle based on the position and angle of the auxiliary marker. For the auxiliary marker provided in an embodiment of the present invention, when the lens direction of the virtual camera and the forward direction of the virtual vehicle are in a non-binding relationship (that is, dynamic), the auxiliary marker can prompt the flight direction, nose direction and body rotation direction of the virtual vehicle. When the lens direction of the virtual camera and the forward direction of the virtual vehicle are in a binding relationship (that is, static), the auxiliary marker can prompt the nose direction (that is, flight direction).

[0042] The game control method provided in an embodiment of the present invention proposes an auxiliary marker for identifying the posture of a virtual vehicle in a virtual scene. During the manipulation of the virtual vehicle, the auxiliary marker can be controlled to move and / or rotate in the game screen through the vehicle posture of the virtual vehicle. The embodiment of the present invention associates the movement of the auxiliary marker with the posture of the virtual vehicle, and can intuitively prompt the player of the vehicle posture of the virtual vehicle through the position and angle of the auxiliary marker, thereby improving the player's gaming experience.

[0043] In one embodiment, the auxiliary identifier is composed of at least one auxiliary sub-identifier, each auxiliary sub-identifier corresponds to a designated component of the virtual vehicle, and the auxiliary sub-identifiers include at least the first auxiliary sub-identifier, the second auxiliary sub-identifier and the third auxiliary sub-identifier, and the designated components include at least the left component, the right component, the head component or the tail component. Among them, the first auxiliary sub-identifier is used to represent the left component of the virtual vehicle, the second auxiliary sub-identifier is used to represent the right component of the virtual vehicle, and the third auxiliary sub-identifier is used to represent the head component or the tail component of the virtual vehicle. In addition, the third auxiliary sub-identifier is located on the symmetry axis of the first auxiliary sub-identifier and the second auxiliary sub-identifier.

[0044] For example, the auxiliary sub-identifiers may be in the form of raised dots. For example, the first auxiliary sub-identifier may be in the form of a left raised dot to indicate the left wing of the virtual vehicle, the second auxiliary sub-identifier may be in the form of a right raised dot to indicate the right wing of the virtual vehicle, and the third auxiliary sub-identifier may be in the form of an upper raised dot to indicate the tail wing or head of the virtual vehicle. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of an auxiliary identification is shown in FIG. Figure 3It is illustrated that the auxiliary mark includes an upper convex point A, a left convex point B and a right convex point C, which respectively correspond to the tail wing a, left wing b and right wing c of the virtual vehicle. The auxiliary mark can be moved within a first designated area and a second designated area, wherein the first designated area is a circular area, and the second designated area is an area in the game screen except the circular area, thereby prompting the vehicle orientation and rotation angle of the virtual vehicle through the displacement and rotation of the auxiliary mark.

[0045] In actual applications, the lens direction of the virtual camera corresponding to the virtual scene and the forward direction of the virtual vehicle include a binding relationship and a non-binding relationship, among which the binding relationship (also called a locking relationship) can be understood as the lens direction is bound to the forward direction of the vehicle, and the lens direction changes with the change of the forward direction of the vehicle; the non-binding relationship (also called a non-locking relationship) can be understood as the lens direction is not bound to the forward direction of the vehicle, and the lens direction remains unchanged. Since the prior art usually uses a locked camera mode to play, this solution will result in the flying vehicle being unable to use some virtual weapons to attack the hostile flying vehicle or reduce the accuracy of the attack, which also affects the player's gaming experience. Therefore, the game control method provided in the embodiment of the present invention can determine that the forward direction of the virtual vehicle and the lens direction of the virtual camera corresponding to the virtual scene are in a non-locked relationship before executing the step of providing an auxiliary identifier through the game screen. At this time, the player can aim at the hostile flying vehicle through the crosshairs and attack, and at the same time, the auxiliary identifier provided by the aforementioned embodiment intuitively prompts the player of the current vehicle posture of the virtual vehicle. The embodiment of the present invention prompts the player of the vehicle posture of the virtual vehicle through the auxiliary identifier, thereby releasing the crosshairs. The player can use the crosshair identifier to aim at the target vehicle, thereby assisting the player in releasing attack skills on the target vehicle.

[0046] In addition, the embodiment of the present invention further provides an implementation method for controlling the movement of the auxiliary marker in the game screen according to the vehicle posture, see the following steps 1 to 2:

[0047] Step 1, control the movement of the auxiliary marker according to the vehicle orientation in the vehicle posture. In practical applications, the target moving direction of the auxiliary marker can be determined according to the vehicle posture, and the area where the auxiliary marker moves can also be determined based on the angular difference between the lens direction and the vehicle orientation. The embodiment of the present invention also provides an implementation method for dividing a first designated area and a second designated area. For example, a circular area with the center point of the game screen as the center and a specified distance as the radius can be determined as the first designated area, and the area in the game screen other than the first designated area is determined as the second designated area. In one embodiment, the specified distance is positively correlated with the size of the virtual vehicle. For example, a rectangular bounding box of the virtual vehicle is determined based on the size of the virtual vehicle, and the rectangular bounding box can include the virtual vehicle. The above-mentioned specified distance can be slightly larger than the maximum side length of the rectangular bounding box. It can be set based on actual needs, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit this.

[0048] Based on this, see steps 1.1 to 1.4 below:

[0049] Step 1.1, determine the target moving direction of the auxiliary marker to be moved according to the vehicle posture. Optionally, the target moving direction of the auxiliary marker to be moved can be determined according to the vehicle orientation. In one embodiment, the principle of the auxiliary marker is similar to the projection principle. The virtual vehicle is projected into a virtual plane based on the vehicle orientation, so the vehicle orientation can be determined as the target moving direction.

[0050] Step 1.2, determine whether the angle difference between the lens direction of the virtual camera corresponding to the virtual scene and the vehicle orientation is less than a preset angle. If yes, execute step 1.3; if not, execute step 1.4. Since the lens direction and the vehicle's forward direction are not bound, that is, the lens direction does not change with the change of the vehicle's orientation, when the player manipulates the moving joystick, there may be an angle deviation between the lens direction and the vehicle orientation. When the angle deviation is large, it is easy to confuse the player. Therefore, this embodiment determines whether the angle difference between the lens direction and the vehicle orientation is greater than a preset angle. Exemplarily, the above-mentioned angle deviation can be 0. When the angle difference between the lens direction and the vehicle orientation is equal to 0, it is determined that the lens direction is consistent with the vehicle orientation. When the angle difference between the lens direction and the vehicle orientation is greater than 0, it is determined that the lens direction is inconsistent with the vehicle orientation.

[0051] Step 1.3, if the angle difference between the lens direction and the vehicle orientation is less than or equal to the preset angle, the auxiliary mark is controlled to move in the first designated area towards the target moving direction. In practical applications, when the angle difference is less than or equal to the preset angle, it indicates that the difference between the lens direction and the vehicle orientation is small, and the auxiliary mark can move in the first designated area. To facilitate understanding of the process of the auxiliary mark moving in the first designated area, the embodiment of the present invention provides such as Figure 4a and Figure 4b The schematic diagram of another game screen is shown, and the circular area in the figure is the first designated area. In the embodiment of the present invention, the auxiliary control mark is displaced in the first designated area, and its target moving direction corresponds to the vehicle orientation, so as to intuitively display the player's posture control operation in the air scene (also known as flight operation), improve the feedback of the posture control operation, and reduce the learning cost of the player.

[0052] In one embodiment, when the auxiliary marker is controlled to move in the target moving direction, the distance between the auxiliary marker and the center of the game screen is positively correlated with the angle difference between the direction of the lens of the virtual camera corresponding to the virtual scene and the vehicle. For example, the larger the angle deviation, the closer the auxiliary marker is to the edge of the first designated area. When the angle deviation is greater than the preset angle, the auxiliary marker will move from the first designated area to the second designated area and move in the second designated area.

[0053] Step 1.4, if the angle difference between the lens direction and the vehicle orientation is greater than the preset angle, the auxiliary mark is controlled to move in the target moving direction in the second designated area. In actual applications, when the angle difference is greater than the preset angle, it indicates that the difference between the lens direction and the vehicle orientation is large. At this time, the auxiliary mark can move in the second designated area, and the player can distinguish the angle deviation between the lens direction and the vehicle orientation according to the area where the auxiliary mark is located. In actual applications, the distance between the auxiliary mark and the center of the game screen is positively correlated with the angle difference between the vehicle orientation and the lens direction of the virtual camera corresponding to the virtual scene, that is, the larger the angle deviation, the closer the auxiliary mark is to the outer edge of the second designated area, and the smaller the angle deviation, the closer the auxiliary mark is to the inner edge of the second designated area. When the angle deviation gradually decreases until it is less than or equal to the preset angle, it will move from the second designated area to the first designated area and move in the first designated area.

[0054] To facilitate understanding of the process of the auxiliary marker moving in the second designated area, the embodiment of the present invention provides such Figure 5 The schematic diagram of another game screen is shown, and the area between the circular area and the rectangular area in the figure is the second designated area mentioned above. In the embodiment of the present invention, the auxiliary marker is controlled to move in the second designated area, and its second moving direction corresponds to the vehicle orientation. This process is equivalent to providing a "screen prompt" for the player, which prominently reminds the player that there is a large deviation between the vehicle orientation and the lens direction or that the vehicle orientation is inconsistent with the lens direction. At this time, the posture control operation for the virtual vehicle can be responded to again, and the virtual camera can be returned to its original position when the vehicle orientation is consistent with the lens regulations.

[0055] Step 2: Control the rotation of the auxiliary marker according to the vehicle rotation angle in the vehicle posture. In one embodiment, refer to the following steps 2.1 to 2.3:

[0056] Step 2.1, determine the target rotation direction of the auxiliary marker to be rotated according to the rotation direction corresponding to the vehicle rotation angle, wherein the target rotation direction includes clockwise and counterclockwise. For example, if the rotation direction of the virtual vehicle is clockwise, the target rotation direction of the auxiliary marker to be rotated is clockwise. Similarly, if the rotation direction of the virtual vehicle is counterclockwise, the target rotation direction of the auxiliary marker to be rotated is counterclockwise.

[0057] Step 2.2, determining the target angle value of the auxiliary marker to be rotated according to the angle value corresponding to the vehicle rotation angle. Optionally, the vehicle rotation angle can be used as the target angle value of the auxiliary marker to be rotated.

[0058] Step 2.3, control the rotation of the auxiliary mark according to the target rotation direction and target angle value. Figure 6 A schematic diagram of another game screen is shown. Figure 6 It indicates that the target rotation direction of the auxiliary mark is consistent with the rotation direction of the vehicle, and the target angle value of the auxiliary mark is consistent with the rotation angle of the vehicle. In actual application, when the virtual vehicle rotates, the auxiliary mark will also rotate with it, and the rotation position of the auxiliary sub-markers (i.e. the upper convex point, left convex point, and right convex point) on the auxiliary mark can be used to prompt the player of the vehicle rotation angle of the virtual vehicle. Even in the visibility angle or in the aerial scene without reference objects around, the player can still use the mark angle of the auxiliary mark as a reference for the vehicle rotation angle.

[0059] In an optional implementation, if the lens direction of the virtual camera corresponding to the virtual scene is bound to the forward direction of the virtual vehicle, the lens direction of the virtual camera will be controlled to be consistent with the vehicle orientation, and the nose direction and flight direction will be indicated by an auxiliary mark. Since the lens direction changes with the vehicle orientation, that is, the lens direction and the vehicle orientation are always consistent, the angle difference between the lens direction and the vehicle orientation must be less than the preset angle, so the auxiliary mark will always be located at the center of the game screen.

[0060] In one embodiment, see Figure 5 , Figure 5 It is shown that a connection line between a virtual vehicle and an auxiliary mark can be provided through a graphical user interface, and the connection line can be in a dotted direction, which further facilitates the player to distinguish the vehicle direction of the virtual vehicle. Figure 5It is also shown that the flight speed and / or flight altitude of the virtual vehicle can be provided through the graphical user interface, such as a flight speed of 323 and a flight altitude of 120, to more intuitively assist the player in understanding the current flight status of the virtual vehicle.

[0061] In summary, the above-mentioned virtual vehicle control auxiliary method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, under the condition of non-locked lens, can prompt the relative angle between the lens direction and the vehicle orientation through auxiliary identification, and prompt the player of the inconsistency between the lens direction and the vehicle orientation. The player moves the lens direction to the vehicle orientation by moving the screen, thereby unifying the different lens directions and vehicle orientations; in addition, the player can distinguish the vehicle rotation angle of the virtual vehicle by identifying the identification angle of the auxiliary identification, thereby avoiding the situation where the virtual vehicle flies backwards. The above-mentioned game control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention prompts the vehicle orientation, flight direction and vehicle rotation angle of the virtual vehicle through auxiliary identification, which is convenient for the player to distinguish the vehicle posture of the virtual vehicle in time, thereby improving the player's gaming experience.
