[0066] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0067] In three-dimensional games, it is a common requirement for game characters to navigate in the game world, such as flying in the air, driving a vehicle, sailing a ship, etc. However, the existing game navigation methods are relatively simple and not interesting enough.

[0068] One of the core concepts of the embodiment of the present invention is that when it is detected that the game character is within the preset range of the navigation route, the game character can be given an acceleration in a specific direction to accelerate the navigation. Since the positions of the game characters controlled by the game players in the game world are diverse, different game characters and the navigation routes have different relative position information, so for a navigation route, different game characters can also have different navigation acceleration actions. By adopting the above method, the game navigation gameplay can be enriched and the game fun can be improved.

[0069] Reference Figure 1 , shows a flowchart of a game display control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, which may specifically include the following steps:

[0070] Step 101, detecting whether the game character is within a preset range of action of a preset navigation route.

[0071] Graphical User Interface (GUI) refers to a computer operation user interface that is displayed in a graphical manner. Most games interact with game players through a graphical user interface.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present invention, after starting the three-dimensional game, the game scene can be displayed in the graphical user interface. The game scene can display a role model of a game character controlled by a player, and in addition, a pre-set navigation route can be displayed in the game scene, and the navigation route refers to the navigation track planned for the game character when performing a navigation action.

[0073] In one example, the player can enter corresponding operation instructions in the game interface to draw a navigation route, and the navigation route is displayed in the game scene. Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a navigation route in a game scene of an embodiment of the present invention, and the framed area in the figure is a drawn flight route. In another example, the flight route can be hidden in the game scene as a game easter egg that is not directly visible to the game player.

[0074] In one example, the process of drawing a navigation route may include: 1. Adding a USplineComponent component in a game engine to draw a Spline curve; 2. Using a NiagaraActor in the game engine to add particle effects; 3. Setting the particle effects on the corresponding Spline curve; 4. Displaying the drawn navigation route in the game scene.

[0075] In an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to detect whether the game character controlled by the player is within the preset range of action of the preset navigation route. If it is determined to be within the preset range of action of the preset navigation route, it means that the preset navigation route can affect the navigation method of the game character.

[0076] Step 102: If the game character is within the preset action range of the preset navigation route, the acceleration direction given to the game character is determined according to the relative position information between the game character and the preset navigation route.

[0077] In an embodiment of the present invention, if it is determined that the current position of the game character is within the preset range of the preset navigation route, the navigation mode of the game character can be determined according to the preset navigation route. In one example, the game character can be given an acceleration in a specific direction according to the relative position information between the game character and the preset navigation route.

[0078] Step 103, controlling the game character to perform a navigation action under the acceleration corresponding to the acceleration direction.

[0079] After determining the acceleration assigned to the game character in a specific direction, the game character can be controlled to perform navigation actions in a three-dimensional game scene under the action of the acceleration corresponding to the acceleration direction, thereby providing a method for accelerating on a specific navigation route, which can enrich the navigation gameplay in the game and improve the user's gaming experience.

[0080] In summary, in the embodiment of the present invention, when it is detected that the game character is within the preset range of the navigation route, the game character can be given an acceleration in a specific direction to accelerate the navigation. Since the positions of the game characters controlled by the game players in the game world are diverse, different game characters and the navigation routes have different relative position information, so for a navigation route, different game characters can also have different navigation acceleration actions. By adopting the above method, the game navigation gameplay can be enriched and the game fun can be improved.

[0081] Reference Figure 3 , shows a flowchart of another game display control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, which may specifically include the following steps:

[0082] Step 301, detecting whether the game character is within a preset range of action of a preset navigation route.

[0083] The game display control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to a three-dimensional game. After starting the game, a role model of a game character controlled by a player can be displayed in the game scene of the game interface. In response to an operation instruction generated after the player operates in the game interface according to a preset operation process, a navigation route can be drawn in the game scene. The navigation route can have particle effects.

[0084] The navigation route has a corresponding preset scope of action. The preset scope of action refers to the area in which the navigation route is effective. When the game character is within the area, the navigation route can affect the navigation actions performed by the game character; when the game character is not within the area, the navigation route cannot affect the navigation actions performed by the game character. The preset scope of action can be customized by the player or pre-set by the developer. Whether the game character is within the preset scope of action of the navigation route can be determined based on the relative position relationship between the game character and the navigation route.

[0085] For step 301, the following steps may be performed:

[0086] Detect whether the game character is within the radius range of the spline curve corresponding to the preset navigation route.

[0087] In one embodiment of the present invention, the preset navigation route may be a spline curve drawn by a USplineComponent component, and the spline curve has a configurable radius range parameter. The radius range may refer to an area range consisting of any point on the spline curve as the center and the radius range parameter as the radius.

[0088] In the present invention, it is possible to detect whether the game character is within the radius of the spline curve corresponding to the preset navigation route.

[0089] Step 302: If the game character is within the preset action range of the preset navigation route, the preset navigation route is divided into a plurality of line segments represented by function expressions.

[0090] If it is determined that the game character is within the preset scope of the preset navigation route, it means that the preset navigation route can affect the navigation method of the game character. If it is determined that the game character is not within the preset scope of the preset navigation route, it means that the preset navigation route cannot affect the navigation method of the game character.

[0091] When the game character is within the preset scope of the preset navigation route, the preset navigation route may be divided into a plurality of line segments, which may include curve segments or straight line segments, and each line segment has a corresponding function expression.

[0092] For step 302, the following steps may be performed:

[0093] Sub-step S11, determining the control points of the preset navigation route configured in the editor.

[0094] Sub-step S12, dividing the preset navigation route by using two adjacent control points as line segment endpoints, and calculating the function expression of the corresponding line segment according to the line segment endpoints to obtain the multiple line segments represented by the function expression.

[0095] In the embodiment of the present invention, the control points in the preset navigation route can be determined, referring to Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the control points of the navigation route in the embodiment of the present invention. The navigation route in the figure has 7 control points. A line segment can be formed between two adjacent control points. The navigation route in the figure can be divided into 6 line segments. In addition, the function expression of each line segment can be calculated according to the control points.

[0096] Step 303: determine the target position point closest to the game character among the points on the multiple line segments, and determine the target line segment where the target position point is located.

[0097] In the embodiment of the present invention, the target position point closest to the game character among the points on the multiple line segments and the target line segment where the target position point is located can be determined by calculation.

[0098] For step 303, the following steps may be performed:

[0099] Sub-step S21, calculating the shortest distances between the game character and the multiple line segments respectively, and determining the minimum value of the multiple shortest distances calculated.

[0100] Sub-step S22, determining the target position point closest to the game character according to the vertical line segment corresponding to the minimum value, and determining the target line segment where the target position point is located.

[0101] For sub-step S22, the following steps may be performed:

[0102] The intersection point of the vertical line segment and the corresponding line segment is determined as the target position point, and the line segment where the intersection point is located is determined as the target line segment.

[0103] Reference Figure 5As shown, it is a schematic diagram of determining the closest target position point according to an embodiment of the present invention. Assuming that the Pos point is the current position of the game character, the shortest distance between the Pos point and each line segment of the navigation route can be calculated (such as the line segment with an arrow in the figure), and the numerical values ​​of each shortest distance can be compared, and the minimum value is selected, and the intersection point of the vertical line segment corresponding to the minimum value and the corresponding line segment is determined as the closest point to the Pos point (the point in the box in the figure), that is, the target position point closest to the game character.

[0104] The following example shows how to find the target location. In the game, the coordinates and navigation routes of the game character are in three-dimensional space. The mathematical principle of finding the shortest distance from the game character's location to the curve is the same as that in two-dimensional space. In order to simplify the calculation process, two-dimensional space is used for explanation.

[0105] Assume that the navigation route consists of five curves, namely A->B, B>C, C->D, D->E and E->F. Assume that the position of the game character is point Pos, the coordinates are (dx, dy), the diameter of the character model bounding box is height, and the function expression of the curve A->B can be f(x, y) = 0. The vector from the nearest point (u, v) of the curve to point Pos must be perpendicular to the curve. The nearest point can be determined by finding a point that satisfies the following formula:

[0106] (1) (u, v) is a point on the curve, satisfying f(u, v) = 0;

[0107] (2) Vector s=(dx, dy)-(u, v), that is, (dx-u, dy-v);

[0108] Find all the vectors s, the one with the shortest length is the shortest distance from the point to the curve. Regarding formula (2), if it is to be orthogonal to the curve, the direction of the vector s should be parallel to the normal direction of the point on the curve. The normal vector of the point (u, v) is (df / dx, df / dy). In two-dimensional space, the tangent vector of the point can be determined by the normal vector of the point (vertical, dot product is 0), so the tangent vector t can be (df / dy, -df / dx). Because the vector s is parallel to the normal, it is perpendicular to the tangent, so s dot t = 0, that is

[0109] (dx-u,dy-v)dot(df / dy,-df / dx)=0;

[0110] Simplified:

[0111] df / dy*(dx-u)-df / dx*(dy-v)=0;

[0112] In summary, the shortest distance from a point to a curve is determined by the following system of equations:

[0113]

[0114] Among them, df / dy is the partial derivative of f with respect to v, df / dx is the partial derivative of f with respect to u, dx in (dx-u) is the coordinate of the known point, and dy in (dy-v) is also the coordinate of the known point.

[0115] Similarly, the shortest distances from point Pos to curves B>C, C->D, D->E, and E->F can be calculated. Assume that the closest point from Pos to curve A->B is p1, with a distance of Dis1, the closest point from Pos to curve B->C is p2, with a distance of Dis2, the closest point from Pos to curve C->D is p3, with a distance of Dis3, the closest point from Pos to curve D->E is p4, with a distance of Dis4, and the closest point from Pos to curve E->F is p5, with a distance of Dis5.

[0116] Compare the sizes of the shortest distances (Dis1, Dis2, Dis3, Dis4 and Dis5), take the minimum value, and then find the point where the vertical line segment corresponding to the minimum value intersects the corresponding curve, which is the target position point closest to the game character.

[0117] In an optional embodiment, the role model of the game role has a bounding box. For step 301, the following steps may be performed:

[0118] Sub-step S31, determining the radius range of the spline curve corresponding to the preset navigation route.

[0119] Sub-step S32, determining whether the sum of the radius of the bounding box and the radius range is not less than the minimum value.

[0120] Sub-step S33: If the sum of the radius of the bounding box and the radius range is not less than the minimum value, it is determined that the game character is within the preset range of the preset navigation route.

[0121] The character model in the game usually has a bounding box, which can be a closed space that contains the character model. Encapsulating complex objects in a simple bounding box can improve the efficiency of geometric operations.

[0122] In an embodiment of the present invention, it is determined whether the game character controlled by the player is within the preset range of action of the preset navigation route. Specifically, it can be determined whether the sum of the radius of the bounding box of the character model and the radius range of action of the spline curve corresponding to the preset navigation route is not less than the minimum value of the shortest distances obtained by the above calculation. If so, it can be determined that the game character is within the preset range of action of the preset navigation route; otherwise, the game character is not within the preset range of action of the preset navigation route.

[0123] In one example, the drawing of the navigation route in the game can be implemented by using USplineComponent of ue4 (unreal engine 4). And the radius of the navigation route can be configured in the corresponding parameter configuration item. Figure 7 The figure shows an interface diagram for configuring the radius range of a navigation route. The radius range parameters of the navigation route can be configured in the Spline Radius configuration item in the figure.

[0124] Step 304: determine the tangent direction of the target line segment at the target position point as the acceleration direction given to the game character.

[0125] Reference Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 1 , a schematic diagram of assigning acceleration direction to a game character according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Assuming that point P is the target position point obtained, the tangent direction at point P (such as the arrow direction in the figure) is used as the acceleration direction of the game character.

[0126] In an optional embodiment, the navigation direction of the game character may also be set according to the navigation route, and specifically the following steps may be performed:

[0127] The tangent direction of the target line segment at the target position point is used as the navigation direction of the game character.

[0128] In the embodiment of the present invention, the game character can perform a navigation action when entering the preset range of action of the preset navigation route. When it is determined that the game character is within the range of action of the preset navigation route, the closest point to the game character in each line segment of the preset navigation route is calculated, for example, point P, and the tangent direction at point P can be used as the navigation direction of the game character.

[0129] The following example shows how to find the tangent line of the target position. Assume that the target position closest to the game character is point P, with coordinates P(x1, y1), and the line segment where point P is located is y=f(x). If point P is a tangent point, the equation for the tangent line of the curve at point P can be used to solve it; if point P is not a tangent point, the coordinates of the tangent point can be set to (x0, y0), and then the coordinates of the tangent point can be obtained according to the following set of equations:

[0130]

[0131] Then use the point-slope form or two-point form of the straight line to find the tangent line equation.

[0132] Step 305: Control the game character to perform a navigation action under the acceleration corresponding to the acceleration direction.

[0133] The game character is controlled to accelerate navigation under the action of the acceleration corresponding to the acceleration direction, thereby enriching the navigation gameplay in the game and improving the user's gaming experience.

[0134] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand step 301 to step 305 of the embodiment of the present invention, an example is given below to illustrate:

[0135] Reference Figure 8 The flowchart of a display control method of a game according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, wherein the navigation route may be a flight route, and the specific process is as follows:

[0136] 1. Divide the flight path in the game into multiple line segments represented by function expressions, determine the position of the game character controlled by the player, and calculate the shortest distance from the game character to different line segments;

[0137] 2. Take the minimum value of the shortest distance and set it as Distance;

[0138] 3. Determine the vertical line segment corresponding to the minimum value, and determine the intersection of the vertical line segment and the corresponding line segment as the target position point closest to the game character among the multiple line segments of the flight path, set as point P; obtain the radius range of the flight path, assuming it is Radius; the diameter of the bounding box where the role model of the game character is located is height; calculate the sum of Radius and height / 2, and compare the sum with Distance;

[0139] 4. If Radius+height / 2>=Distance, it means that the game character is within the range of the flight path and the tangent at point P can be obtained; otherwise, the process ends.

[0140] 5. Set the tangent direction at point P as the flight direction and acceleration direction of the game character, so that the game character can accelerate its flight in the game world.

[0141] In summary, in the embodiment of the present invention, when it is detected that the game character is within the preset range of the navigation route, the game character can be given an acceleration in a specific direction to accelerate the navigation. Since the positions of the game characters controlled by the game players in the game world are diverse, different game characters and the navigation routes have different relative position information, so for a navigation route, different game characters can also have different navigation acceleration actions. By adopting the above method, the game navigation gameplay can be enriched and the game fun can be improved.
