[0024] Optionally, the input and output device 108 further includes a human-computer interaction screen for obtaining human-computer interaction instructions through a human-computer interaction interface and for presenting images in a virtual scene;

[0025] In this embodiment, a flight control method for a game character is provided. Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for controlling a flight of a game character according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0026] Step S202: detecting a team flight request triggered by a first game client in a virtual scene, wherein the first game client is used to control a first game character in the virtual scene;

[0027] Optionally, the virtual scene used in this embodiment can be a virtual game scene, a virtual teaching scene, a virtual demonstration scene, etc., and the virtual scene includes multiple virtual characters (such as the first virtual character and the second virtual character in this embodiment). The virtual characters can be controlled by user operations or system AI to move in the virtual scene such as the game scene. Among them, the virtual characters can be controlled by the user, such as the PCC (Player-Controlled Character) in the virtual game controlled by the main control player. In this embodiment, the virtual scene is described as a game scene.

[0028] In this embodiment, the game scene includes multiple spaces, such as land, water, and airspace. Here, the flight control of the game character in the airspace is taken as an example for description.

[0029] When the first game character moves on land or water, if the light skill, flying skill, flying vehicle, etc. are triggered, the first game character enters the airspace and switches to the flying state. In this embodiment, when the first game character switches to the flying state, other game characters can also be summoned and controlled synchronously, so that the second game character, etc. can follow the first game character to fly in the game scene.

[0030] Optionally, the first game character may be controlled to enter a flying state by operating a flight trigger control, or the first game character may switch from a current state to a flying state by triggering a specified attack skill combination, or triggering a specified skill button a predetermined number of times. When switching from a non-flying state to a flying state, the first operating control on the current control interface of the first game character may be synchronously updated to a second operating control for the flying state.

[0031] Step S204: forwarding the team flight request to the second game client, wherein the first game client and the second game client access the game server, and the second game client is used to control the second game character in the virtual scene;

[0032] Step S206: detecting a team formation acceptance instruction returned by the second game client based on the team formation flight request;

[0033] Step S208: In response to the team acceptance instruction, the second game character is controlled to fly following the first game character in the virtual scene.

[0034] Optionally, the flight following states of the first game character and the second game character include multiple types. In one example, after the second game character accepts team flight, the character state of the second game character is switched to the flight following state, and the character state of the first game character is switched to the flight leading state. The first game character in the flight leading state can control the second game character in the flight following state, such as adjusting the following position and following distance of the second game character, and releasing the flight following state of the second game character. At the same time, the second game character can also adjust its following position and following distance with the first game character within the following range.

[0035] Through the above steps, the team flight request triggered by the first game client in the virtual scene is detected, wherein the first game client is used to control the first game character in the virtual scene; the team flight request is forwarded to the second game client, wherein the first game client and the second game client are connected to the game server, and the second game client is used to control the second game character in the virtual scene, and the team acceptance instruction returned by the second game client based on the team flight request is detected, and the team acceptance instruction is responded to, and the second game character is controlled to follow the first game character in flying in the virtual scene. By forwarding the team flight request of the first game character to the second game character and controlling the second game character to follow the first game character in flying in the virtual scene, the technical problem in the related art that the game characters cannot fly in a team in the virtual scene is solved, and the flight control flexibility of the game characters and the playability of the game are improved.

[0036] In one implementation of this embodiment, controlling the second game character to follow the first game character in the virtual scene includes: locating the three-dimensional coordinate position of the first game character in the virtual scene; creating a team array with the three-dimensional coordinate position as a reference position, wherein the team array includes multiple array points at fixed positions; locating the first array point of the first game character in the team array, and assigning a second array point to the second game character; and controlling the second game character to follow the first game character in the virtual scene based on the second array point in the team array.

[0037] Optionally, the three-dimensional coordinate position of the first game character in the virtual scene can be the center position of the team array, the position of the team array in the first preset row and the second preset column, or the position custom-selected by the first game character. Each array point of the team array is used to assign a game character to be followed in flight. The team array is connected to the first game character through the first array point. The first game character is the driving point of the team array. The first game character drives the team array to fly in real time in the game scene, and at the same time drives other game characters in the team array, such as the second game character.

[0038] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a team formation flight following an embodiment of the present invention. The team formation is a honeycomb array consisting of seven array points, 1 through 7. The first game character is at array point 1, the second game character is at array point 5, and the remaining empty array points can be assigned to other game characters following the first game character. Alternatively, the team formation can be arranged in a long snake formation, for example.

[0039] In another implementation of this embodiment, controlling the second game character to follow the first game character in the virtual scene includes:

[0040] S11, locating the three-dimensional coordinate position of the first game character in the virtual scene;

[0041] S12, creating a team air wall using the three-dimensional coordinate position as a reference position, wherein the boundary of the team air wall is the farthest movement boundary of the second game character in the team flight state;

[0042] Optionally, the three-dimensional coordinate position of the first game character in the virtual scene can be the center position of the team air wall, the boundary position of the wall on one side of the team air wall, etc. The range of the team air wall is the range in which the second game character follows the first game character to fly. The team air wall is connected to the first game character through the first position inside the wall (the first position is the fixed position or real-time position of the first game character in the team air wall). The first game character is the driving point of the team air wall. The first game character drives the team air wall to fly in real time in the game scene, and at the same time drives other game characters in the team air wall to fly, such as the second game character.

[0043] S13, controlling the second game character to fly following the first game character within the range of the team air wall in the virtual scene.

[0044] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of following flight within a team air wall according to an embodiment of the present invention. The team air wall is a spherical wall, and a first game character and a second game character follow and fly within the spherical wall.

[0045] In some examples, after controlling the second game character to follow the first game character to fly within the range of the team air wall in the virtual scene, it also includes: detecting a movement instruction triggered by the second game character within the team air wall; responding to the movement instruction, and determining whether the second game character has left the range of the team air wall; if the second game character has left the range of the team air wall, sending a leave notification message to the first game client, wherein the leave notification message is used to indicate that the second game character has stopped flying in a team with the first game character.

[0046] Optionally, when the entire team in the team array or team air wall is flying, the team members can change the formation or change their positions in the team. By calculating the distance between the game characters or the distance between the game characters and the wall boundary of the team air wall in real time, when the distance meets the preset conditions, the second game character is determined to automatically leave the team.

[0047] Based on the above example, determining whether the second game character has left the team air wall includes: calculating the interval distance between the second game character and the first game character; if the interval distance between the second game character and the first game character is greater than a preset distance, determining that the second game character has left the team air wall; and / or, monitoring whether a collision operation occurs between the second game character and the team air wall; if a collision operation occurs between the second game character and the team air wall, determining that the second game character has left the team air wall.

[0048] In other examples, there are multiple second game characters, including a first character and a second character, and determining whether the second game characters have left the team air wall includes: calculating a first distance between the first character and the first game character, and if the first distance is greater than a first preset distance; determining the second character closest to the first character, and calculating a second distance between the first character and the second character, and if the second distance is greater than the second preset distance, determining that the first character has left the team air wall; if the second distance is less than or equal to the second preset distance, determining that the first character has not left the team air wall. Through this example, when multiple second game characters follow the first game character in flight, as long as the distance between any two second game characters is less than a certain distance, it can be determined that the second game characters are still in the team flying state.

[0049] In one implementation of this embodiment, forwarding the team flight request to the second game client includes: obtaining character attribute information of the first game character; determining the game camp to which the first game character belongs and the character type of the first game character in the game camp based on the character attribute information; if the character type is a specified type, forwarding the team flight request to the second game client corresponding to the second game character in the game camp.

[0050] Optionally, the designated type can be a team leader, gang leader, or other character type, or a character type whose level meets certain requirements. In some examples, a team flight request is triggered by a designated virtual item in the game scene. For example, clicking the summon button in the control skill area of the first game character can summon other team members to enter a high-altitude flight follow state. The other team members accept the team flight request, enter the flight follow state, and follow the first game character who initiated the summon in a certain formation. Optionally, only characters of a designated type in the team can initiate a summon. After a second game character leaves the team, the entire team or team leader will receive a prompt message.

[0051] In some implementation scenarios, the solution of this embodiment further includes:

[0052] S21, detecting a ride-sharing request triggered by a first game client on a target flying vehicle, wherein the ride-sharing request is used to request a third game character in a virtual scene to ride on the target flying vehicle of the first game character;

[0053] S22, obtaining the prop attribute information of the target flying vehicle;

[0054] S23, determining whether the target aircraft is a multi-person aircraft based on the prop attribute information;

[0055] S24: If the target aircraft is a multi-player aircraft, forward the ride-sharing request to the third game client corresponding to the third game character, and control the third game character and the first game character to ride on the target aircraft together.

[0056] Optionally, a multiplayer aircraft may be a two-person, three-person, or aircraft rated to carry more game characters.

[0057] Optionally, after controlling the third game character and the first game character to simultaneously board the target flying vehicle, the method further includes:

[0058] S25, obtaining the number of crew members allowed to be carried by the target aircraft;

[0059] The limited number of members is the number of game characters that the target aircraft is rated to carry, which can be read from the attribute information of the target aircraft.

[0060] S26, determining whether the current number of passengers on the target aircraft is greater than the maximum number of passengers;

[0061] S27, if the current number of passengers of the target aircraft is greater than the maximum number of passengers, reduce the maximum flight speed of the target aircraft, and / or reduce the maximum flight altitude of the target aircraft, and / or freeze the designated function buttons of the target aircraft.

[0062] In this example, the target aircraft is an aircraft. When the number of characters on board increases, the flight speed slows down. An aircraft with a rated number of passengers can also be overloaded. When overloaded, certain specific functions of the aircraft cannot be triggered, and the flight speed and altitude are significantly reduced. Reducing the maximum flight altitude of the target aircraft includes: obtaining the initial maximum flight altitude of the target aircraft, calculating the overload of the target aircraft based on the current number of passengers and the number of passengers with a limited capacity, and calculating the target maximum flight altitude to be updated based on the overload and the initial maximum flight altitude. For example, if the initial maximum flight altitude is 100 (unit: meters), the number of passengers with a limited capacity is 4, and the current number of passengers is 6, the overload is calculated by the difference (6-4) or the ratio ((6-4) / 4). If the overload calculated by the ratio is 50%, the target maximum flight altitude is calculated as 100*50%=50. The example of calculating the maximum flight speed is similar to the above example. For example, multiple speeds are configured in the attribute information of the target aircraft, and each speed corresponds to a range of the number of people currently on board the target aircraft, namely the first speed, the second speed, and the third speed. When the number of passengers is less than the maximum number of members, such as 1 person, the aircraft flies at the first speed. When the number of passengers is equal to the maximum number of members, if there are 4 people, the aircraft flies at the second speed. When the number of passengers is greater than the maximum number of members, if there are 5 people, the aircraft flies at the third speed. The first speed is greater than the second speed, and the second speed is greater than the third speed.

[0063] Optionally, after controlling the third game character and the first game character to ride on the target flying vehicle together, it also includes: detecting a multi-player interaction request triggered by the first game client on the target flying vehicle; responding to the multi-player interaction request, controlling the first game character and the third game character to perform mutually coordinated interactive operations on the target flying vehicle.

[0064] The interactive operations of this embodiment may include, but are not limited to, hugging each other, jumping simultaneously, the first game character and the third game character performing a coordinated first action and a coordinated second action, etc. The coordinated interactive operation can be accomplished by simultaneously driving the skeletal models of the first game character and the third game character, or by playing special effect animations for the interactive operation.

[0065] Optionally, controlling the first game character and the third game character to perform a mutually coordinated interactive operation on the target flying vehicle includes: obtaining a first gender attribute of the first game character and a second gender attribute of the third game character, and comparing the first gender attribute with the second gender attribute; if the third game character and the first game character are opposite-sex characters, controlling the first game character and the third game character to perform a mutually coordinated first interactive operation on the target flying vehicle; if the third game character and the first game character are same-sex characters, controlling the first game character and the third game character to perform a mutually coordinated second interactive operation on the target flying vehicle. In a scenario involving same-sex characters, differentiated interactive operations can be further performed between two game characters with different gender attributes based on the gender attributes of the game characters.

[0066] During a two-player flight, you can invite another character to join you in a two-player flight by clicking the "Invite to Ride" button in the flight control area. For example, clicking the "Invite to Ride" button in the character control area will allow you to join the two-player flight. After entering the two-player flight mode, clicking the "Release Ride" button will allow you to cancel the two-player flight mode. The character to which the aircraft belongs can choose to cancel the two-player flight mode. After canceling the two-player flight mode, both characters on the aircraft can land simultaneously, or one of the two characters can choose to land. If the aircraft's owner remains on board, the character that triggered the "Release Ride" button will land.

[0067] In some implementation scenarios of this embodiment, after detecting the multi-person interaction request triggered by the first game client on the target aircraft, it also includes: generating a control instruction for the target aircraft based on the interaction request; responding to the control instruction, searching for a flight animation effect that matches the interaction operation, displaying the flight animation effect on the flight trajectory of the target aircraft, and / or searching for a flight control parameter that matches the interaction operation, and adjusting the flight speed / or flight trajectory of the target aircraft based on the flight control parameter.

[0068] During a shared ride, for example, if character 1 invites character 2 to share a target vehicle, the shared ride screen's display effects, or the target vehicle's flight status (such as speed or flight animation effects) can be controlled based on the interactions initiated by the two. This includes: displaying effects corresponding to the interaction while the target vehicle is in flight, and adjusting the target vehicle's speed, acceleration, and flight trajectory in real time based on the flight control parameters corresponding to the interaction.

[0069] In some implementation scenarios of this embodiment, after controlling the third game character and the first game character to ride on the target flying vehicle together, the solution also includes: allocating first control authority of the target flying vehicle to the first game character, and allocating second control authority of the target flying vehicle to the third game character.

[0070] In one example, the first control authority is used to control the cockpit of the target aircraft, and the second control authority is used to control the weapon bay of the target aircraft. In another example, the first control authority is used to control the target aircraft in the horizontal direction, and the second control authority is used to control the flight altitude of the target aircraft. In yet another example, the first control authority is used to control the first control of the target aircraft, and the second control authority is used to control the second control of the target aircraft. The operating controls of the target aircraft include a first control and a second control.

[0071] When two games are sharing a target aircraft, the character initiating the ride request can have full control over the flight altitude and direction, or all characters sharing the ride can jointly control the aircraft. For example, character 1 transfers the altitude control authority of the aircraft to character 2. Character 1 controls the front, back, left, and right, while character 2 controls the flight altitude. The two people work together to control the flight status.

[0072] By adopting the solution of this embodiment, multi-person follow-up flight and flight interaction are realized, thereby improving the efficiency of human-computer interaction.

[0073] Through the description of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the method according to the above embodiment can be implemented by means of software plus the necessary general hardware platform, and of course it can also be implemented by hardware, but in many cases the former is a better implementation method. Based on this understanding, the technical solution of the present invention is essentially or the part that contributes to the prior art can be embodied in the form of a software product, which is stored in a storage medium (such as ROM / RAM, magnetic disk, optical disk), and includes a number of instructions for enabling a terminal device (which can be a mobile phone, computer, server, or network device, etc.) to execute the methods described in each embodiment of the present invention.
