Description

[0001] Priority statement

[0002] This application claims priority to application number 202111467329.5, filing date December 3, 2021, and titled method, device, equipment, storage medium, and program product for picking up virtual props. Technical Field

[0003] The present application relates to computer human-computer interaction technology, and in particular to a method, device, equipment, computer-readable storage medium and computer program product for picking up virtual props. Background Art

[0004] Display technology based on graphics processing hardware has expanded the channels for perceiving the environment and obtaining information, especially the display technology of virtual scenes. It can realize diversified interactions between virtual objects controlled by users or artificial intelligence according to actual application needs, and has various typical application scenarios. For example, in virtual scenes such as games, it can simulate the real battle process between virtual objects.

[0005] Taking a shooting game scene as an example, when it is necessary to pick up virtual props, the virtual objects in the related technology can only pick up the pickable virtual props around them. When the virtual object is far away from the pickable virtual props, the virtual object needs to move from a hidden position to the pickable virtual props before it can pick up the props. The efficiency of picking up virtual props is low. Moreover, for virtual objects that lack available virtual props and have no attack or defense capabilities, the process of walking out of the hidden position to pick up virtual props faces the security risk of being killed at any time, affecting the user experience. Summary of the invention

The terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing the embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0056] Before further describing the embodiments of the present application in detail, the nouns and terms involved in the embodiments of the present application are explained. The nouns and terms involved in the embodiments of the present application are subject to the following interpretations.

[0057] 1) Client: an application running in the terminal to provide various services, such as a video player client, a game client, etc.

[0058] 2) In response, it is used to indicate the conditions or states on which the executed operations depend. When the dependent conditions or states are met, one or more operations executed may be in real time or have a set delay. Unless otherwise specified, there is no restriction on the order of execution of the multiple operations executed.

[0059] 3) A virtual scene is a virtual scene displayed (or provided) when an application is running on a terminal. The virtual scene can be a simulation of the real world, a semi-simulation and semi-fictitious virtual environment, or a purely fictitious virtual environment. The virtual scene can be any of a two-dimensional virtual scene, a 2.5-dimensional virtual scene, or a three-dimensional virtual scene. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the dimension of the virtual scene. For example, the virtual scene may include the sky, land, ocean, etc. The land may include environmental elements such as deserts and cities, and users can control virtual objects to move in the virtual scene.

[0060] 4) Virtual objects, images of various people and objects that can interact in a virtual scene, or movable objects in a virtual scene. The movable objects can be virtual characters, virtual animals, cartoon characters, etc., such as characters and animals displayed in a virtual scene. The virtual object can be a virtual image in the virtual scene that represents the user. A virtual scene can include multiple virtual objects, each of which has its own shape and volume in the virtual scene and occupies a part of the space in the virtual scene.

[0061] 5) Scene data, which represents feature data in a virtual scene. For example, it may include the position of a virtual object in the virtual scene, the waiting time required for configuring various functions in the virtual scene (depending on the number of times the same function can be used within a specific time), and the attribute values ​​of various states of virtual objects in the game, such as health points and magic points.

[0062] The embodiments of the present application provide a method, apparatus, terminal device, computer-readable storage medium, and computer program product for picking up virtual props, which can improve the efficiency and safety of picking up virtual props. In order to facilitate easier understanding of the method for picking up virtual props provided by the embodiments of the present application, an exemplary implementation scenario of the method for picking up virtual props provided by the embodiments of the present application is first described. The virtual scene in the method for picking up virtual props provided by the embodiments of the present application can be completely based on the output of the terminal device, or based on the coordinated output of the terminal device and the server.

[0063] In some embodiments, the virtual scene can also be an environment for game characters to interact. For example, it can be an environment for game characters to fight in the virtual scene. By controlling the actions of the game characters, both parties can interact in the virtual scene, allowing users to relieve life stress during the game.

[0064] In one implementation scenario, see Figure 1A , Figure 1A 1 is a schematic diagram of an application mode of a method for picking up virtual props provided in an embodiment of the present application, which is applicable to some application modes that completely rely on the computing power of the graphics processing hardware of the terminal device 400 to complete the relevant data calculation of the virtual scene 100, such as stand-alone / offline mode games, and output of virtual scenes through various types of terminal devices 400 such as smart phones, tablet computers, and virtual reality / augmented reality devices. As an example, the types of graphics processing hardware include central processing units (CPUs) and graphics processing units (GPUs).

[0065] When forming a visual perception of the virtual scene 100, the terminal device 400 calculates the data required for display through the graphics computing hardware, and completes the loading, parsing and rendering of the display data, and outputs video frames that can form a visual perception of the virtual scene through the graphics output hardware, for example, presenting two-dimensional video frames on the display screen of a smartphone, or projecting video frames to achieve a three-dimensional display effect on the lenses of augmented reality / virtual reality glasses; in addition, in order to enrich the perception effect, the terminal device 400 can also use different hardware to form one or more of auditory perception, tactile perception, motion perception and taste perception.

[0066] As an example, a client 410 (e.g., a stand-alone game application) is running on the terminal device 400. During the operation of the client 410, a virtual scene 100 including role-playing is output. The virtual scene 100 may be an environment for game characters to interact, such as a plain, street, valley, etc. for game characters to fight against each other. The virtual scene includes a virtual object 110, a projection prop 120 (e.g., a shooting prop or a throwing prop) held by the virtual object 110 through a holding part (e.g., a hand), and a pick-up virtual prop 130. The virtual object 110 may be a game character controlled by a user (or player), that is, the virtual object 110 is controlled by a real user and will move in the virtual scene in response to the real user's operation on a controller (including a touch screen, a voice-controlled switch, a keyboard, a mouse, a joystick, etc.). For example, when the real user moves the joystick to the right, the virtual object 110 will move to the right in the virtual scene 100. It can also remain still, jump, and control the virtual object 110 to perform shooting operations, etc.

[0067] For example, the terminal device 400 presents a virtual object 110 holding a projection prop 120 and a pick-up virtual prop 130 in the interface of the virtual scene 100; in response to a projection instruction for the projection prop 120, the projection prop 120 is controlled to project along the target direction indicated by the projection instruction, and when the projection prop 120 is projected into the pick-up range of the virtual prop 130, the virtual object 110 is controlled to remotely pick up the virtual prop 120; in this way, compared with the related art in which virtual objects can only pick up virtual props around them, the space limitation is broken, the long-distance prop picking is realized, the interaction process is simplified, the efficiency of picking up virtual props is improved, and the pick-up virtual props in the virtual scene are fully and efficiently utilized, while also improving the user experience.

[0068] In another implementation scenario, see Figure 1B , Figure 1BThe schematic diagram of the application mode of the method for picking up virtual props provided in the embodiment of the present application is applied to the terminal device 400 and the server 200, and is suitable for the application mode of completing the virtual scene calculation by relying on the computing power of the server 200 and outputting the virtual scene on the terminal device 400. Taking the visual perception of the virtual scene 100 as an example, the server 200 calculates the display data related to the virtual scene (such as scene data) and sends it to the terminal device 400 through the network 300. The terminal device 400 relies on the graphics computing hardware to complete the loading, parsing and rendering of the display data, and relies on the graphics output hardware to output the virtual scene to form visual perception, for example, a two-dimensional video frame can be presented on the display screen of a smart phone, or a video frame that realizes a three-dimensional display effect can be projected on the lenses of augmented reality / virtual reality glasses; for the perception of the form of the virtual scene, it can be understood that the corresponding hardware output of the terminal device 400 can be used, such as using a microphone to form auditory perception, using a vibrator to form tactile perception, and so on.

[0069] As an example, a client 410 (e.g., a stand-alone game application) is running on the terminal device 400. During the operation of the client 410, a virtual scene 100 including role-playing is output. The virtual scene 100 may be an environment for game characters to interact, such as a plain, street, valley, etc. for game characters to fight against each other. The virtual scene includes a virtual object 110, a projection prop 120 (e.g., a shooting prop or a throwing prop) held by the virtual object 110 through a holding part (e.g., a hand), and a pick-up virtual prop 130. The virtual object 110 may be a game character controlled by a user (or player), that is, the virtual object 110 is controlled by a real user and will move in the virtual scene in response to the real user's operation on a controller (including a touch screen, a voice-controlled switch, a keyboard, a mouse, a joystick, etc.). For example, when the real user moves the joystick to the right, the virtual object 110 will move to the right in the virtual scene 100. It can also remain still, jump, and control the virtual object 110 to perform shooting operations, etc.

[0070] For example, the terminal device 400 presents a virtual object 110 holding a projection prop 120 and a pick-up virtual prop 130 in the interface of the virtual scene 100; in response to a projection instruction for the projection prop 120, the projection prop 120 is controlled to project along the target direction indicated by the projection instruction, and when the projection prop 120 is projected into the pick-up range of the virtual prop 130, the virtual object 110 is controlled to remotely pick up the virtual prop 120; in this way, compared with the related art in which virtual objects can only pick up virtual props around them, the space limitation is broken, the long-distance prop picking is realized, the interaction process is simplified, the efficiency of picking up virtual props is improved, and the pick-up virtual props in the virtual scene are fully and efficiently utilized, while also improving the user experience.

[0071] In some embodiments, the terminal device 400 can implement the method for picking up virtual props provided in the embodiments of the present application by running a computer program. For example, the computer program can be a native program or software module in the operating system; it can be a native application (APP, APPlication), that is, a program that needs to be installed in the operating system to run, such as a shooting game APP (i.e., the above-mentioned client 410); it can also be a small program, that is, a program that can be run only by downloading it to a browser environment; it can also be a game small program that can be embedded in any APP. In short, the above-mentioned computer program can be an application, module or plug-in in any form.

[0072] Taking a computer program as an application program as an example, in actual implementation, the terminal device 400 installs and runs an application program that supports virtual scenes. The application program can be any one of a first-person shooter game (FPS), a third-person shooter game, a virtual reality application program, a three-dimensional map program, or a multiplayer gunfight survival game. The user uses the terminal device 400 to operate a virtual object in the virtual scene to perform an activity, which includes but is not limited to: adjusting body posture, crawling, walking, running, riding, jumping, driving, picking up, shooting, attacking, throwing, and building virtual buildings. Schematically, the virtual object can be a virtual character, such as a simulated character or an anime character.

[0073] In other embodiments, the embodiments of the present application may also be implemented with the aid of cloud technology, which refers to a hosting technology that unifies a series of resources such as hardware, software, and networks within a wide area network or a local area network to achieve data computing, storage, processing, and sharing.

[0074] Cloud technology is a general term for network technology, information technology, integration technology, management platform technology, and application technology based on the cloud computing business model. It can form a resource pool that can be used on demand and is flexible and convenient. Cloud computing technology will become an important support. The background services of the technical network system require a large amount of computing and storage resources.

The shooting props are triggered by launching at least one projectile to pick up the pickable virtual props, such as firearms, bows and arrows, crossbows, etc. The throwing props are triggered by throwing the throwing props themselves to pick up the pickable virtual props, such as darts, grenades, smoke bombs, Molotov cocktails, javelins, or hooking props with hooking functions, such as hooking props that are hooking components (referred to as hooks) with hook lines, ropes, or hook rods. The pickable virtual props are props discarded by other virtual objects in the virtual scene or virtual props randomly assigned by the system as rewards, that is, virtual props are idle virtual props that can be picked up by virtual objects. Virtual objects can use the picked-up virtual props to enhance their own attack power or defense capabilities, thereby improving the interactive capabilities of virtual objects in the virtual scene.

[0093] In some embodiments, a client that supports virtual scenes is installed on the terminal device (for example, when the virtual scene is a game, the corresponding client may be a shooting game APP). When the user opens the client installed on the terminal device (for example, the user clicks on an icon corresponding to the shooting game APP presented in the user interface of the terminal device) and the terminal device runs the client, a virtual scene interface may be presented in the client, and a virtual object holding projection props and pick-up virtual props may be presented in the interface of the virtual scene.

[0094] In other embodiments, the terminal device may also respond to a projection prop selection operation (e.g., receiving a user click operation on a control corresponding to a projection prop displayed in the interface of the virtual scene) by presenting a virtual object holding a projection prop (e.g., when the virtual object originally holds other props, an animation of switching from other props to the projection prop is played) and a virtual prop that can be picked up in the interface of the virtual scene. Taking a game as an example, a variety of props are provided in the game for users to choose from, wherein each prop corresponds to a control displayed in the game screen. When the user clicks on the control corresponding to the projection prop displayed in the game screen, a game screen is displayed in which the game character controlled by the user holds the projection prop by hand.

[0095] It should be noted that, in actual applications, the pickable virtual props presented in the interface of the virtual scene are virtual props within the current field of view of the virtual object. Given the limitations of the field of view, these virtual props may only be part of the many pickable virtual props. That is, in the virtual scene, in addition to the pickable virtual props presented in the interface of the current virtual scene, there may also be other pickable virtual props.

[0096] Step 102: In response to a projection instruction for a projection prop, control the projection prop to project along a target direction indicated by the projection instruction.

[0097] In some embodiments, before controlling the projection prop to project along the target direction indicated by the projection instruction, the terminal device may receive a projection instruction for the projection prop in the following manner: in response to an aiming operation on the projection prop, controlling the projection prop to aim along the target direction; in response to a release operation on the aiming operation, receiving a projection instruction for the projection prop.

[0098] The target direction may be the direction of the virtual prop that can be picked up, and the projection prop can be controlled by the aimer of the projection prop to aim in the direction of the virtual prop that can be picked up. After the aiming operation is released, the projection instruction can be triggered, and the projection prop can be controlled to project along the target direction indicated by the projection instruction in response to the projection instruction. Of course, the target direction can also be any direction, that is, the terminal device controls the projection prop to project in any direction (also called blind shooting).

[0099] In actual applications, when there are multiple (2 or more) virtual props that can be picked up, the target direction can also be the direction of the target virtual prop among all the virtual props that can be picked up. Here, a display style different from that of other virtual props can be used to highlight the target virtual prop, so that when the aiming operation is performed, the projection prop is controlled to aim in the direction of the highlighted target virtual prop. After the aiming operation is released, the projection instruction can be triggered, and in response to the projection instruction, the projection prop is controlled to project along the target direction indicated by the projection instruction.

[0100] In actual implementation, the target virtual props can be determined in the following way: based on the usage preference of the virtual object, the matching degree between each virtual prop and the usage preference is obtained, and the virtual prop corresponding to the highest matching degree is selected as the target virtual prop; for example, the pickable virtual props include virtual prop 1, virtual prop 2 and virtual prop 3. Through the neural network model, according to the role of the virtual object in the virtual scene, or the virtual props used historically by the virtual object, the usage preference of the virtual object, that is, the virtual object's preference and proficiency for each virtual prop, is predicted. Based on the usage preference of the virtual object, the matching degree between virtual prop 1 and the usage preference, the matching degree between virtual prop 2 and the usage preference, and the matching degree between virtual prop 3 and the usage preference are determined respectively, and the virtual prop 2 with the highest matching degree is selected for highlighting. In addition, based on at least one of the parameters of each virtual prop, such as the lethality index, consumption level (which can determine whether the virtual prop is a prop that the virtual object currently lacks), the difficulty coefficient of picking up, the prop type (such as the prop model), and the distance from the virtual object, the virtual prop that best matches the virtual object can be selected from multiple virtual props and displayed as the target virtual prop for highlighting. In this way, the virtual props that the virtual object lacks the most, likes the most, needs the most, and is most handy can be selected from multiple pickable virtual props, which can improve the interactive ability of the virtual object.

[0101] It can be understood that the data such as the usage preferences of virtual objects involved in the embodiments of the present application are essentially user-related data. When the embodiments of the present application are applied to specific products or technologies, user permission or consent is required, and the collection, use and processing of relevant data need to comply with relevant laws, regulations and standards of relevant countries and regions.

[0102] In some embodiments, the terminal device may respond to a projection instruction for a projection prop in the following manner to control the projection prop to project along the target direction indicated by the projection instruction: when the projection prop is a shooting prop, in response to the projection instruction for the shooting prop, control the shooting prop to launch at least one projectile along the target direction, and the projectile is used to shoot into the pickup range of the virtual prop; the terminal device may control the virtual object to remotely pick up the virtual prop in the following manner: control the virtual object to remotely and automatically pick up the virtual prop, so that the automatically picked up virtual prop is in the prop backpack of the virtual object; in this way, by controlling the shooting prop to launch a projectile, the virtual prop that is far away from the virtual object (cannot be reached by hand) is remotely picked up, breaking through the limitations of distance and space, realizing the picking up of virtual props at a long distance, and improving the picking efficiency of virtual props, thereby making full and efficient use of the pickable virtual prop resources in the virtual scene, thereby improving the user experience.

[0103] Among them, shooting props refer to virtual props that can fire projectiles, such as firearms, crossbows, etc. For example, when the shooting prop is a firearm, the projectile is a bullet; when the shooting prop is a crossbow, the projectile is an arrow. Taking the shooting prop as a firearm as an example, a fire button is displayed in the virtual scene. When the terminal device receives a shooting instruction triggered by the user based on the fire button, the firearm is controlled to fire at least one bullet in the target direction. When the firearm is a shotgun, the bullets are fired in a burst, that is, multiple bullets can be fired at the same time each time, so that multiple bullets can be shot into the pickup range of multiple virtual props in the virtual scene at one time, so as to automatically pick up multiple virtual props remotely; of course, when the firearm is an ordinary firearm (that is, a gun that can only fire one bullet at a time), the shooting range of multiple virtual props can be automatically picked up remotely. When a virtual object is in a virtual scene, the virtual object can be picked up remotely without the need for the virtual object to move to the virtual object, thereby improving the efficiency of picking up the virtual object. At the same time, the safety risk of being killed at any time when the virtual object walks out of the hidden position to pick up the virtual props is reduced, thereby improving the safety of picking up the virtual props.

[0104] In some embodiments, the terminal device can also respond to the projection instruction for the projection prop in the following manner to control the projection prop to be projected along the target direction indicated by the projection instruction: when the projection prop is a hooking prop with a hooking function, in response to the projection instruction for the hooking prop, the hooking component in the hooking prop is controlled to move along the target direction; the terminal device can control the virtual object to remotely pick up the virtual prop in the following manner: control the hooking component to hook the virtual prop to the virtual object, so that the virtual prop is in the prop backpack of the virtual object.

[0105] Among them, the throwing props can be grenades, smoke bombs, Molotov cocktails, javelins or hooking props with a hooking function, such as a hooking component carrying a hook line, rope or hook rod. Taking the projection prop as a hooking prop with a hooking function as an example, when the user throws the hooking prop in the target direction, the terminal device responds to the projection instruction and controls the hooking component in the hooking prop to move in the target direction. When the hooking component moves to the pickup range of the virtual prop, the hooking component is controlled to hook the virtual prop, and the rebound or rebound effect of the hook line or rope in the hooking component is used, or The user hooks the virtual prop to the location of the virtual object through the pulling force of the hook rod in the hook component of the virtual object, so as to place the virtual prop in the prop backpack of the virtual object; in this way, when the pickable virtual prop is far away from the virtual object, the virtual prop can be picked up by the hook component without the need for the virtual object to move to the virtual prop, thereby improving the efficiency of picking up the virtual prop. At the same time, the safety risk of being killed at any time faced by the virtual object in the process of walking out of the hidden position to pick up the virtual prop is reduced, thereby improving the safety of picking up the virtual prop.

[0106] Step 103: When the projected prop is projected into the pickup range of the virtual prop, the virtual object is controlled to remotely pick up the virtual prop.

[0107] In some embodiments, after the terminal device controls the projection prop to project along the target direction indicated by the projection instruction, during the projection process of the projection prop, the terminal device detects obstacles between the projection prop and the virtual prop to obtain a detection result; when the detection result indicates that there is no obstacle between the projection prop and the virtual prop, and the projection prop is projected into the pickup range of the virtual prop, the virtual object is controlled to remotely pick up the virtual prop; or, when the detection result indicates that there is a traversable obstacle between the projection prop and the virtual prop, the projection prop is controlled to traverse the obstacle, and when the projection prop is projected into the pickup range of the virtual prop, the virtual object is controlled to remotely pick up the virtual prop.

[0108] Here, after the projection prop is projected, the position of the projection prop or the projectile of the projection prop is changing during the projection process, and obstacle detection is performed between the projection prop and the virtual prop in real time to determine whether there are obstacles between the two (such as walls, oil drums and other objects that hinder the movement of the projection prop, or traversable shield walls, other virtual objects, smoke and other objects that cannot hinder the movement of the projection prop).

[0109] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4The obstacle detection schematic diagram provided for the embodiment of the present application, during the detection, by binding the camera component on the projection prop, a detection ray 402 in the same direction as the projection prop is emitted from the position of the projection prop 401 to the virtual prop 403 that can be picked up; based on the detection ray, it is determined whether there is an obstacle between the projection prop and the virtual prop. When the detection ray intersects with the collider component (such as a collision box, collision ball, etc.) bound to the obstacle, it indicates that there is an obstacle (i.e., wall 404) between the projection prop and the virtual prop; when the detection ray does not intersect with the collider component bound to the obstacle, it indicates that there is no obstacle between the projection prop and the virtual prop. When there is no obstacle between the projection prop and the virtual prop or there is a traversable obstacle, and the projection prop is projected into the pickup range of the virtual prop, the virtual object can be controlled to remotely pick up the virtual prop.

[0110] When there is an impassable obstacle between the projected prop and the virtual prop, the projected prop cannot pass through the obstacle and cannot reach the pickup range of the virtual prop, so the virtual object cannot be controlled to remotely pick up the virtual prop. At this time, a prompt message for prompting the failure of picking up the virtual prop can be presented, as shown in Figures 5A-5B. Figure 5A-5B A schematic diagram of displaying prompt information provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 5A In the example, when there is an impassable obstacle 503 between the projection prop 501 of the hook component and the pickable virtual prop 502, an instruction message 504 such as "obstacle exists, prop picking fails" is presented, or an instruction message such as "prop picking fails, please bypass the obstacle" is presented to instruct to avoid the obstacle; Figure 5B In the example, when there is a traversable obstacle 505 between the projected prop 501 and the pickable virtual prop 502, the projected prop 501 is controlled to pass through the obstacle 505. In this way, in the process of picking up the virtual prop, the picking logic conforms to the real scene, thereby improving the user experience.

[0111] In some embodiments, after the terminal device controls the projection prop to be projected along the target direction indicated by the projection instruction, when the distance between the virtual prop and the virtual object is greater than the projection distance threshold, a prompt message is presented to indicate that the virtual prop has failed to be picked up.

[0112] Here, in actual application, after controlling the projection prop to project along the target direction indicated by the projection instruction, the terminal device can also obtain the distance between the virtual prop and the virtual object in the virtual scene, and the projection distance threshold corresponding to the projection prop; wherein the projection distance threshold is the maximum projection distance of the projection prop. When the distance between the pickable virtual prop and the virtual object (the position of the virtual object is the projection starting point of the projection prop) is greater than the maximum projection distance, that is, the pickable virtual prop is outside the maximum projection distance of the projection prop, it will not be able to be projected into the pickable range of the virtual prop, that is, the purpose of remotely picking up the virtual prop cannot be achieved.

[0113] See also Figure 6 , Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the display of prompt information provided in an embodiment of the present application, in which a virtual object 601 holds a hooking prop of a hooking component, and the maximum projection distance of the hooking prop is L1. If the distance L2 between the pickable virtual prop 602 and the virtual object 601 is greater than the maximum projection distance L1, a prompt message such as "The target is too far away, and the pickup failed" is presented.

[0114] In some embodiments, since the projection distance threshold of the projection prop is related to the properties of the projection prop itself, it is an inherent distance and does not change with the projection method. Therefore, before triggering the projection instruction, the terminal device can first obtain the distance between the virtual object and the pickable virtual prop, and determine whether the virtual prop is within the maximum projection distance of the projection prop by comparing the distance with the projection distance threshold. When the distance between the virtual object and the pickable virtual prop is greater than the projection distance threshold of the projection prop, it is determined that the virtual prop is outside the maximum projection distance of the projection prop. As long as the virtual object does not move in the direction close to the virtual prop, no matter how the projection prop is controlled to be projected, it will be uncontrollable. The projection prop is projected into the pickup range of the virtual prop. Therefore, in this case, an instruction message such as "the target is too far to be picked up, please move closer" can be presented to indicate the approach to the virtual prop. The player can appropriately control the virtual object to move to the location of the virtual prop based on the instruction message, and when the virtual prop is moved to a position where the virtual prop is within the maximum projection distance of the projection prop, an instruction message such as "please project" is presented to indicate the projection of the projection prop. The projection instruction triggered based on the instruction message can improve the success rate of picking up the virtual prop, reduce the possibility of failure to pick up the prop after the projection instruction is triggered, and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of picking up the virtual prop.

[0115] It should be noted that the above method is an appropriate adjustment without exposing the virtual object. When the pickable virtual prop is too far away or when the virtual object moves towards the virtual prop and faces a greater risk of exposure, instruction information for instructing the virtual object to give up the virtual prop can also be directly presented to avoid safety risks caused by excessive exposure of the virtual object, thereby improving the user experience.

[0116] In some embodiments, before controlling the virtual object to remotely pick up the virtual prop, the terminal device may also determine the projection end point of the projected prop; when the projection end point is located at the location of the virtual prop or at the valid area associated with the virtual prop, it is determined that the projected prop is projected into the pickup range of the virtual prop.

[0117] Here, during detection, it can be determined whether the projection prop is projected into the pickup range of the virtual prop by judging whether the position coordinates of the projection end point are in the valid area associated with the virtual prop. When the projection end point of the projection prop is in the valid area associated with the virtual prop (including the position of the virtual prop), that is, the projection prop hits the virtual prop, it can be determined that the projection prop is projected into the pickup range of the virtual prop. It can also be determined whether the projection prop is projected into the pickup range of the virtual prop by detecting whether there is an intersection between the collider component (such as a collision box, a collision ball, etc.) bound to the projection prop and the collider component (such as a collision box, a collision ball, etc.) bound to the obstacle. When the two intersect, it can be determined that the projection prop is projected into the pickup range of the virtual prop.

[0118] In some embodiments, the terminal device can control the virtual object to remotely pick up the virtual prop when the projected prop is projected into the pickup range of the virtual prop in the following manner: when the number of virtual props is at least two and the projected prop is projected into the pickup range of at least two virtual props, control the virtual object to remotely pick up the target virtual prop; wherein the target virtual prop is the virtual prop that is closest to the virtual object among the at least two virtual props.

[0119] Here, when the projected props are within the pickup range of multiple virtual props, such as Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 A schematic diagram of picking up virtual props provided in an embodiment of the present application shows that when the hook component of the projection prop, a hook prop, is within the pickup range of both virtual prop 701 and virtual prop 702, the virtual prop closest to the projection prop (or to the virtual object) is selected for remote pickup, such as controlling the virtual object to remotely pick up the nearest virtual prop 701. Of course, in actual applications, the virtual object can also be controlled to pick up all virtual props within the pickup range at the same time, such as controlling the virtual object to remotely pick up virtual prop 701 and virtual prop 702 at the same time.

[0120] It should be noted that the control of the virtual object to remotely pick up the virtual props provided in the embodiments of the present application means that when the virtual object cannot directly reach out to pick up the virtual props at a distance, the virtual object is assisted by the projection props to remotely pick up the virtual props through the air. That is, there is no need to control the virtual object to walk near the virtual props, but to control the virtual object to remotely pick up the virtual props, such as by projecting the props to place the virtual props at the virtual object. In this way, the virtual object can pick up the virtual props at the virtual object, and can directly equip the picked up virtual props or place the picked up virtual props in the prop backpack according to the actual situation.

[0121] In some embodiments, the terminal device can control the virtual object to remotely pick up the virtual props when the projected props are projected into the pickup range of the virtual props in the following ways: when the virtual props include at least two types, the at least two virtual props are displayed in different display styles; when the target direction is the direction of the target type of virtual props and the projected props are projected into the pickup range of the target type of virtual props, the virtual object is controlled to remotely pick up the target type of virtual props.

[0122] In actual applications, when there are multiple types of virtual props that can be picked up (2 or more), the target direction can also be the direction of the virtual props of the target type among all the virtual props that can be picked up. Here, a display style different from that of other types of virtual props (such as different colors, different brightness, different indication information, etc.) can be used to highlight the virtual props of the target type, so that when the aiming operation is performed, the projection props can be controlled to aim in the direction of the highlighted virtual props of the target type. After the aiming operation is released, the projection instruction can be triggered, and in response to the projection instruction, the projection props can be controlled to project along the target direction indicated by the projection instruction.

[0123] In actual implementation, the target type of virtual props can be determined in the following way: based on the usage preference of the virtual object, the matching degree between each type of virtual props and the usage preference is obtained, and the virtual props corresponding to the highest matching degree are selected as the target type of virtual props for highlighting; for example, the pickable virtual props include a first type of virtual prop 1, a second type of virtual prop 2 and a third type of virtual prop 3. Through the neural network model, according to the role of the virtual object in the virtual scene, or the virtual object's historical usage type of virtual props, the usage preference of the virtual object, that is, the virtual object's preference and proficiency for various types of virtual props, is predicted. Based on the usage preference of the virtual object, the matching degree between the first type of virtual prop 1 and the usage preference, the matching degree between the second type of virtual prop 2 and the usage preference, and the matching degree between the third type of virtual prop 3 and the usage preference are determined respectively, and the second type of virtual prop 2 with the highest matching degree is selected for highlighting. In addition, based on at least one of the parameters of the various virtual props, such as the lethality index, consumption, difficulty coefficient of picking up, and distance from the virtual object, virtual props of the target type that is most suitable for the virtual object can be screened out from a variety of virtual props for highlighting. In this way, virtual props of the target type that the virtual object likes, needs, and is most handy can be screened out from a variety of pickable virtual props, which can improve the interactive ability of the virtual object.

[0124] In some embodiments, the terminal device may display at least two virtual props using different display styles in the following manner: using a first display style to display a target type of virtual prop, and using a second display style to display virtual props of other types except the target type among the at least two virtual props; wherein the first display style is different from the second display style, and the first display style represents a picking priority of the target type of virtual prop, which is higher than the picking priority of other types of virtual props.

[0125] Here, when there are multiple types of virtual props that can be picked up, different display styles are used to display virtual props of corresponding types according to different picking priorities, especially highlighting the virtual props of the highest type with the highest picking priority, and the projection props can be controlled to aim in the direction of the highlighted target type of virtual props. After the aiming operation is released, the projection instruction can be triggered, and in response to the projection instruction, the projection props are controlled to project along the target direction indicated by the projection instruction, and the virtual object is controlled to pick up the virtual props of the target type. In this way, selecting the virtual props of the target type required by the virtual object from a variety of virtual props that can be picked up can improve the interactive ability of the virtual object.

[0126] In some embodiments, the terminal device can control the virtual object to remotely pick up the virtual prop when the projection prop is projected into the pickup range of the virtual prop in the following manner: when the projection prop is projected into the pickup range of the virtual prop, and other projection props of other virtual objects in the virtual scene are projected into the pickup range of the virtual prop, obtain the first projection time when the projection prop is projected into the pickup range, and the second projection time when the other projection props are projected into the pickup range; when the first projection time is earlier than the second projection time, control the virtual object to remotely pick up the virtual prop.

[0127] See also Figure 8 , Figure 8 A schematic diagram of picking up a virtual prop provided in an embodiment of the present application. In the process of picking up a virtual prop, for the same virtual prop 801, if in addition to the projected props projected by the virtual object (player A) corresponding to the current terminal device being within the pickable range of the virtual prop, there are also projected props projected by other virtual objects (player B) within the pickable range of the virtual prop, that is, there are multiple virtual objects to pick up the projected props, the order of the projection time of each projected prop into the pickable range of the virtual prop can be compared to determine which virtual object finally successfully picks up the virtual prop. If the projection time of the projected props of the current virtual object is earlier than the projection time of the projected props of other objects, the current virtual object can be controlled to successfully pick up the virtual prop; if the projection time of the projected props of the current virtual object is later than the projection time of the projected props of other objects, the current virtual object will not be able to successfully pick up the virtual prop, that is, the virtual prop will be successfully picked up by other virtual objects. In this way, following the "first come, first served" rule can promote the enthusiasm of virtual objects to pick up virtual props.

[0128] In some embodiments, the terminal device can achieve the following method: when the projection prop is projected into the pickup range of the virtual prop, the virtual object is controlled to pick up the virtual prop remotely: when the pickup range is the sensing area of ​​the virtual prop used to sense the projection prop, the sensing area is presented; when the projection prop is projected into the sensing area and the virtual prop determines that the projection prop belongs to the virtual object through sensing, the virtual object is controlled to pick up the virtual prop remotely.

[0129] Here, in actual application, a sensor can be bound to a pick-up virtual prop, and the sensing area sensed by the sensor is used as the target area. The sensing area can be a circular area with the virtual prop as the center and the target distance as the radius, or it can be an area of ​​any other shape or size. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the shape and size of the sensing area. After determining the sensing area, the target display style (such as highlight) can be sampled to display the sensing area to distinguish it from the non-sensing area. When the projected prop moves to the sensing area, the virtual object to which the projected prop belongs is sensed and identified through the sensing effect of the sensor bound to the virtual prop. When it is determined that the projected prop belongs to the virtual object of the current terminal device, there is no need to control the virtual object to walk near the virtual prop. Instead, the virtual object is controlled to pick up the virtual prop remotely, which improves the efficiency of picking up the virtual prop, reduces the security risk of being killed at any time when the virtual object walks out of the hidden position to pick up the virtual prop, and improves the safety of picking up the virtual prop. At the same time, due to the strong sensitivity of the sensing effect, once the projected prop is projected to the sensing area, the virtual prop can be quickly picked up without the user's triggering operation, which further improves the accuracy and efficiency of picking up the virtual prop and improves the user experience.

[0130] In some embodiments, the terminal device can control the virtual object to remotely pick up the virtual props when the projection props are projected into the pickup range of the virtual props in the following manner: when the projection props are virtual props with an adsorption function, the distance between the projection end point of the projection props and the virtual object, and the adsorption distance threshold corresponding to the projection props are obtained; when the projection props are projected into the pickup range of the virtual props and the distance between the projection end point of the projection props and the virtual object is lower than the adsorption distance threshold, the projection props are controlled to adsorb the virtual props to the virtual object through the adsorption effect of the adsorption component in the projection props, so that the virtual props are in the prop backpack of the virtual object.

[0131] Here, in actual application, an adsorption component (such as a magnet) with an adsorption function can be bound to the projection prop, and the adsorption component can adsorb virtual props within the adsorption distance threshold, wherein the adsorption distance threshold is the maximum distance that the projection prop can trigger the adsorption function, and is related to the material, size and other properties of the adsorption component. When the projection prop is projected into the pickup range of the virtual prop, the distance between the projection end point of the projection prop (the position within the pickup range) and the virtual prop is compared with the adsorption distance threshold. When the distance between the two is greater than the adsorption distance threshold, the virtual prop cannot be adsorbed to the virtual object through the adsorption effect of the adsorption component in the projection prop, that is, the virtual object fails to pick up the virtual prop; when the distance between the two is less than or equal to the adsorption distance threshold, the virtual prop can be adsorbed to the virtual object through the adsorption effect of the adsorption component in the projection prop to place the virtual prop in the prop backpack. That is, the virtual object successfully picks up the virtual prop at the virtual object, and can directly equip the picked up virtual prop or place the picked up virtual prop in the prop backpack according to the actual situation; in this way, when the pickable virtual prop is far away from the virtual object, the virtual object does not need to move to the virtual prop, and the virtual prop can be picked up by the adsorption effect of the adsorption component in the projected prop, thereby improving the efficiency of picking up the virtual prop. At the same time, it reduces the security risk of being killed at any time in the process of the virtual object walking out of the hidden position to pick up the virtual prop, and improves the security of picking up the virtual prop.

[0132] In some embodiments, the terminal device can achieve the following method to control the virtual object to remotely pick up the virtual props when the projection props are projected into the pickup range of the virtual props: when the projection props have a sensing function and are associated with a sensing area, in the process of controlling the projection of the projection props, the relative relationship between the sensing area and the pickup range is determined; when the relative relationship indicates that there is an area overlap between the sensing area and the pickup range, the virtual props are controlled to be placed at the virtual object through the sensing function of the projection props, so that the virtual props are in the prop backpack of the virtual object.

[0133] Here, in actual application, a sensor can also be bound to the projection prop, and the sensor corresponds to a sensing area. The sensing area can be a circular area with the projection prop as the center and a preset first distance as the radius, or an area of ​​any other shape or size; in addition, the pick-up range of the virtual prop can be a circular area with the virtual prop as the center and a preset second distance as the radius, or an area of ​​any other shape or size. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the shape and size of the sensing area and the pick-up range. In the process of controlling the projection of the projected props, the relative relationship between the sensing area and the pickup range of the pickable virtual props is determined. When there is an area overlap (such as intersection, tangency, inclusion) between the sensing area and the pickup range, the virtual props are sensed by the sensing effect of the sensor bound to the projected props, so as to place the virtual props in the prop backpack of the virtual object or control the virtual object to equip the virtual props. In this way, there is no need to control the virtual object to walk near the virtual props, but to control the virtual object to remotely pick up the virtual props, which improves the efficiency of picking up the virtual props, reduces the security risk of being killed at any time in the process of the virtual object walking out of the hidden position to pick up the virtual props, and improves the safety of picking up the virtual props. At the same time, due to the strong sensitivity of the sensing effect, once the sensing area of ​​the projected props collides with the pickup range of the virtual props, the virtual props can be quickly picked up without the need for the user's trigger operation, which further improves the accuracy and efficiency of picking up the virtual props and improves the user experience.

[0134] In some embodiments, the terminal device can control the virtual object to remotely pick up the virtual props when the projected props are projected into the pickup range of the virtual props in the following manner: when the projected props have a sensing function, a sensing area centered on the projected props is presented; when there are multiple virtual props in the sensing area, it is determined that the projected props are projected into the pickup range of multiple virtual props, and the virtual object is controlled to remotely pick up the multiple virtual props.

[0135] Here, after determining the sensing area centered on the projection prop, the target display style (such as highlight) can be sampled to display the sensing area to distinguish it from the non-sensing area. When there are multiple virtual props that can be picked up in the sensing area of ​​the projection prop, it is characterized that the projection prop after projection is within the pickup range of multiple virtual props. For example, if there are virtual props 1 and virtual props 2 in the sensing area of ​​the projection prop, it can be determined that the projection prop is both within the pickup range of virtual prop 1 and within the pickup range of virtual prop 2. The virtual object can be controlled to pick up all virtual props within the pickup range at the same time, such as controlling the virtual object to remotely pick up virtual props 1 and virtual props 2 at the same time, thereby improving the efficiency of picking up virtual props. Of course, in actual applications, specific virtual props can also be selected for picking up, such as selecting the virtual prop closest to the projection prop for picking up, such as controlling the virtual object to remotely pick up the nearest virtual prop 1, thereby improving the targeting of picking up virtual props.

[0136] In some embodiments, after the terminal device controls the projection prop to project along the target direction indicated by the projection instruction, during the projection process of the projection prop, when there are other virtual objects between the projection prop and the virtual prop, the display state of the projection prop relative to the other virtual objects is controlled to be invisible.

[0137] In actual applications, since the projection props can pass through other virtual objects, when controlling the projection props to project through other virtual objects, the display status of the projection props relative to other virtual objects can be controlled. For example, the display status of the projection props relative to other virtual objects can be controlled to be invisible, that is, the projection props can be controlled to be in a "stealth state" that other virtual objects cannot see. In this way, other virtual objects can be prevented from discovering the launch props, thereby ensuring the stability of the interactive capabilities of the virtual objects.

[0138] It should be noted that the above-mentioned projection props can be tools dedicated to remotely picking up virtual props, that is, the projection props only have the function of assisting virtual objects to remotely pick up virtual props, and do not have other attack functions. During the projection process of the projection props, if the projection props hit other virtual objects, it cannot change or reduce the status values ​​of other virtual objects (such as blood volume, life value, attack power, etc.). For example, when the projection props are hooking props with a hooking function, the hooking props can only be used to hook virtual props, but cannot hook other virtual objects, nor can it be used as an attack weapon to cause damage to other virtual objects.

[0139] Of course, in actual applications, in addition to the function of assisting virtual objects to pick up virtual props remotely, projection props can also have an attack function to cause negative impacts on other virtual objects that are attacked and passed through. Projection props can also have corresponding protection mechanisms. In the process of picking up virtual props in a virtual scene, if the current virtual object of the terminal device does not have a protection mechanism turned on, and there are projection props projected by other virtual objects in the virtual scene that pass through the current virtual object, the status value of the current virtual object (such as blood volume, life value, attack power, etc.) will be attenuated; and if the current virtual object of the terminal device has a protection mechanism turned on, and there are projection props projected by other virtual objects in the virtual scene that pass through the current virtual object, there will be no negative impact on the status value of the current virtual object (such as blood volume, life value, attack power, etc.), thereby playing a self-protection role.

[0140] The following will describe an exemplary application of the embodiment of the present application in a practical application scenario. Take the virtual scene as a shooting game as an example. Fig. 9 , Fig. 9 This is a schematic diagram of an interface of a virtual scene provided in an embodiment of the present application. When a player (i.e., the virtual object mentioned above) needs to pick up a virtual prop during the game, the player in the related art can only pick up the virtual props around him. When the player is far away from the pickable virtual prop (cannot reach it), the player needs to move to the pickable virtual prop before picking it up, and the efficiency of picking up the virtual prop is low. Moreover, if there are many enemies lurking next to the virtual prop, the process is difficult for players who lack available props and have no attack or defense capabilities (such as players who have used up virtual props such as bullets and grenades and have no teammates to cover them). In the process of rashly running out from a hidden position to pick up the virtual prop, the player faces the security risk of being killed at any time, which affects the user experience.

[0141] To this end, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for picking up virtual props. When picking up virtual props that are far away from the player, the player is controlled to project a projection prop in the direction of the virtual prop to be picked up. When the projection prop is projected into the pickup range of the virtual prop, the player is controlled to automatically pick up the virtual prop remotely, so that the automatically picked up virtual prop is placed in a prop backpack or directly equipped for use, thereby improving the efficiency and safety of picking up virtual props.

[0142] Among them, the projectile props may include shooting props and throwing props. The shooting props trigger the remote picking up of virtual props by launching at least one projectile, such as firearms, bows and arrows, crossbows, etc. The throwing props trigger the remote picking up of virtual props by throwing the throwing props themselves, such as darts, grenades, and hooking props with hooking functions. The pickable virtual props are props discarded by other virtual objects in the virtual scene or virtual props randomly assigned by the system for virtual objects to pick up. The virtual objects can use the picked up virtual props to enhance their own attack power or defense capabilities, thereby improving the interactive capabilities of the virtual objects in the virtual scene.

[0143] Next, the method for picking up virtual props provided in the embodiment of the present application is further described by taking the projection prop as a hooking prop with a hooking function (the hooking prop contains a hooking component (such as a hook), and the hooking component carries a hook line or a rope, etc.) as an example, see Fig.10 , Fig.10 A flowchart of a method for picking up a virtual prop provided in an embodiment of the present application is provided, and the method includes:

[0144] Step 201: The terminal device presents a virtual object holding a hooking prop and a virtual prop that can be picked up in the interface of the virtual scene.

[0145] Step 202: In response to the projection instruction for the hooking prop, control the hooking component in the hooking prop to fly along the target direction.

[0146] See also Fig.11 , Fig.11 A schematic diagram of picking up virtual props provided in an embodiment of the present application shows an operation control 1101 corresponding to the hook prop in the game interface. The terminal responds to a trigger operation on the operation control 1101, controls the projection prop 1102 to aim in the target direction, responds to a release operation on the aiming, receives a projection instruction for the hook prop, and responds to the projection instruction to control the hook component in the hook prop to fly in the target direction.

[0147] Step 203: During the flight of the hook component, determine whether there is an obstacle between the hook component and the virtual prop.

[0148] Here, when there is an obstacle between the hook component and the virtual prop, the hook component cannot pass through the impassable obstacle, and step 206 is executed; when there is no obstacle between the hook component and the virtual prop, step 204 is executed.

[0149] It should be noted that when there is a traversable obstacle (such as other players, smoke, etc.) between the hook component and the virtual prop, the hook component can be controlled to fly through the obstacle.

[0150] Step 204: Determine whether the hooking component flies to the pickup range of the virtual prop.

[0151] The pickup range refers to the location of the virtual item or the associated valid area. When the hook component flies to the pickup range of the virtual item, step 207 is executed; when the hook component does not fly to the pickup range of the virtual item, step 205 is executed.

[0152] Step 205: Determine whether the hooking component has reached the maximum flight distance.

[0153] The maximum flight distance is the above-mentioned projection distance threshold. When the hooking component fails to hook any virtual props that can be picked up during the flight and reaches the maximum flight distance, step 206 is executed; otherwise, step 202 is executed.

[0154] Step 206: Present prompt information for prompting failure in picking up the virtual prop.

[0155] Here, the hook component cannot fly infinitely. When the hook component flies to the maximum flight distance but has not hooked the virtual prop, even if there is a virtual prop that can be picked up outside the maximum flight distance, it cannot exceed the maximum flight distance to pick up the virtual prop.

[0156] Step 207: Control the hooking component to hook the virtual prop.

[0157] Step 208: Present the hooked virtual prop in the prop backpack of the virtual object.

[0158] In actual application, the number of virtual props that the hook component can pick up during a flight can be limited. For example, only one virtual prop that can be picked up can be picked up at a time. When the hook component encounters a virtual prop that can be picked up, it directly hooks the virtual prop and returns. In this case, even if there are other virtual props that can be picked up behind the flight route, they cannot be picked up this time. Fig.12 As shown, Fig.12 A schematic diagram of picking up virtual props provided in the embodiment of the present application shows that the hooking component picks up the virtual prop M1 machine gun in the first flight, picks up the virtual prop "blood supply" in the second flight of the same route, and picks up the virtual prop M2 machine gun in the third flight of the same route. Of course, in actual applications, the hooking component can also be controlled to pick up multiple pickable virtual props during one flight, such as controlling the hooking component to pick up the three virtual props M1 machine gun, "blood supply", and M2 machine gun in one flight. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the number of virtual props that the hooking component can pick up at one time.

[0159] Through the above method, when the virtual object cannot directly reach out to pick up the virtual props far away, the hook prop, a projected prop, is used to assist the virtual object to remotely pick up the virtual props. That is, there is no need to control the virtual object to walk near the virtual props, but the virtual props are hooked by the hook prop and placed at the virtual object, and the virtual object is controlled to pick up the virtual props at the virtual object, and the picked up virtual props can be directly equipped or placed in the prop backpack according to actual conditions; in this way, the virtual props far away from the player are picked up remotely by the hook prop, which breaks through the limitations of distance and space, improves the efficiency of picking up virtual props, and at the same time, reduces the safety risk of being killed at any time faced by players in the process of walking out of hidden positions to pick up virtual props, and improves the safety of picking up virtual props.

[0171] In some embodiments, the picking control module is also used to present a sensing area when the picking range is a sensing area for the virtual prop to sense the projection prop; when the projection prop is projected to the sensing area and the virtual prop determines through sensing that the projection prop belongs to the virtual object, control the virtual object to remotely pick up the virtual prop.

[0172] In some embodiments, the picking control module is further used to obtain the distance between the projection end point of the projection prop and the virtual object, and the adsorption distance threshold corresponding to the projection prop when the projection prop is a virtual prop with an adsorption function; when the projection prop is projected into the pick-up range of the virtual prop and the distance between the projection end point of the projection prop and the virtual object is lower than the adsorption distance threshold, the projection prop is controlled to adsorb the virtual prop to the virtual object through the adsorption effect of the adsorption component in the projection prop, so that the virtual prop is in the prop backpack of the virtual object.
