Description

Background Art

[0002] In shooting games, combat is usually carried out by controlling a virtual firearm prop to shoot virtual bullets. Therefore, simulating the shooting of virtual bullets in the game scene has become an important part of this type of game.

[0003] In related technologies, the shooting process of virtual bullets is usually simulated by using ray detection, that is, a ray is fired from the muzzle of the virtual firearm prop in the target direction. Regardless of the distance, as long as this ray intersects with virtual objects in the game scene, the virtual object is hit. Players cannot observe the flying process of the bullet, and the simulation effect of the virtual bullet during the shooting process is poor, unable to show the charm of firearm shooting.

[0004] In addition, in order to improve the simulation effect of virtual bullets, entity collision is also used in related technologies to simulate the shooting process of virtual bullets. Although this method simulates the flight of real bullets, due to the relatively fast flying speed of the bullets and the fact that the bullets cannot be observed after flying a certain distance, the game performance effect of virtual bullets is poor.

[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background art section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present disclosure, and thus may include information that does not constitute the prior art known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Other features and advantages of the present disclosure will become apparent through the following detailed description, or be learned in part through the practice of the present disclosure.

[0008] According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a game display control method. A graphical user interface is provided through a terminal device, and a game screen determined according to the current field of view range corresponding to a controlled virtual character is displayed on the graphical user interface. The controlled virtual character is controlled by the terminal device. The method includes: obtaining position information of a target virtual object shot by a virtual shooting prop located within the current field of view range, where the target virtual object is in a moving state; determining a distance between the target virtual object and an observation point corresponding to the current field of view range according to the position information of the target virtual object; and adjusting a display size of the target virtual object in the game screen according to the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current field of view range.

[0009] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, adjusting the display size of the target virtual object in the game screen according to the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current field of view includes: determining the magnification ratio of the target virtual object according to the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current field of view; and adjusting the display size of the target virtual object in the game screen based on the magnification ratio of the target virtual object and the original display size of the target virtual object.

[0011] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, determining the magnification ratio of the target virtual object according to the preset maximum magnification ratio, the first threshold, the second threshold, and the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current field of view includes: taking the difference between the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current field of view and the first threshold as a first difference, and taking the difference between the second threshold and the first threshold as a second difference; and determining the magnification ratio of the target virtual object according to the ratio of the first difference to the second difference and the preset maximum magnification ratio.

[0012] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the method further includes: determining a hit detection method of the target virtual object based on the current movement distance of the target virtual object; detecting whether the target virtual object hits based on the hit detection method of the target virtual object; and if the target virtual object hits, adjusting the target virtual object from a moving state to a non-moving state in the game screen.

[0013] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, if the target virtual object is shot by a virtual shooting prop controlled by another virtual character in the game scene, the method further includes: judging whether the target virtual object passes by the controlled virtual character corresponding to the current field of view according to the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current field of view; if the target virtual object passes by the controlled virtual character corresponding to the current field of view, displaying shooting prompt information corresponding to the target virtual object in the game screen.

[0014] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the target virtual object is extracted from the virtual object entity cache after being shot, and the target virtual object is stored in the virtual object entity cache after the shooting is completed.

[0015] According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a game display control device which provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device. The graphical user interface displays a game screen determined according to the current field of view corresponding to a controlled virtual character, and the controlled virtual character is controlled by the terminal device. The device includes: a position acquisition module for acquiring position information of a target virtual object shot by a virtual shooting prop within the current field of view, the target virtual object being in a moving state; a distance determination module for determining the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current field of view according to the position information of the target virtual object; and a display control module for adjusting the display size of the target virtual object in the game screen according to the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current field of view.

[0016] According to a third aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, and when the computer program is executed by a processor, the above-mentioned game display control method is implemented.

On the one hand, by establishing a connection between the virtual object in a moving state and the observation point, the present disclosure adjusts the display size of the virtual object, which can avoid the influence on the player's observation due to the virtual object moving too fast in the game scene, enabling the player to more clearly observe the movement process of the virtual object, thereby improving the game performance effect of the virtual object in a moving state. On the other hand, taking the current field of view as a unit, the present disclosure can simultaneously process the rendering effects of multiple virtual objects in a moving state to ensure the processing efficiency.

[0027] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the example embodiments can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The features, structures, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to give a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that the technical solutions of the present disclosure may be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or may be implemented using other methods, components, devices, steps, etc. In other instances, well-known technical solutions are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring aspects of the present disclosure.

[0028] In addition, the accompanying drawings are only schematic illustrations of the present disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and thus repeated descriptions thereof will be omitted. Some of the block diagrams shown in the drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities. These functional entities may be implemented in software, or in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different networks and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0029] In this document, "first", "second", etc. are labels for specific objects and do not limit the quantity or order of the objects.

[0030] In the related art, when simulating the shooting process of a virtual bullet by means of entity collision, the virtual bullet is shot out from the muzzle of a virtual firearm prop in the target direction, and then the virtual bullet flies in the target direction in the game scene until it hits a virtual object in the game scene. From the perspective of the player, the farther the virtual bullet flies, the smaller it becomes. Although this method simulates the flight of a real bullet, due to the relatively fast flight speed of the bullet and the fact that it cannot be observed after flying a certain distance, the game performance effect of the virtual bullet is affected.

[0031] In view of one or more of the above problems, the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure provide a game display control method that can be applied to first-person shooting games and can improve the game performance effect of virtual bullets in such games. Among them, first-person shooting games belong to a branch of action games and are shooting games from the subjective perspective of the player.

[0032] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the game display control method can be run on a local terminal device or a server. When the game display control method is run on a server, the game display control method can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interaction system, wherein the cloud interaction system includes a server and a client device.

[0033] In an optional implementation, various cloud applications, such as cloud games, can be run under the cloud interaction system. Taking cloud games as an example, cloud games refer to a game mode based on cloud computing. In the operation mode of cloud games, the running body of the game program and the game screen presentation body are separated. The storage and operation of the game display control method are completed on the cloud game server. The client device is used for receiving and sending data and presenting the game screen. For example, the client device can be a display device with data transmission function close to the user side, such as a mobile terminal, a TV, a computer, a handheld computer, etc.; but the cloud game server in the cloud performs the game display control. When playing the game, the player operates the client device to send an operation instruction to the cloud game server. The cloud game server runs the game according to the operation instruction, encodes and compresses the game screen and other data, and returns it to the client device through the network. Finally, the client device decodes and outputs the game screen.

[0034] In an optional embodiment, taking a game as an example, a local terminal device stores a game program and is used to present a game screen. The local terminal device is used to interact with the player through a graphical user interface, that is, the game program is downloaded and installed by an electronic device and run conventionally. The local terminal device may provide the graphical user interface to the player in a variety of ways, for example, it may be rendered and displayed on a display screen of the terminal, or provided to the player through a holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device may include a display screen and a processor, the display screen is used to present a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface includes a game screen, and the processor is used to run the game, generate a graphical user interface, and control the display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.

[0035] Figure 1 A game display control method in this exemplary embodiment is shown, where a graphical user interface is provided by a terminal device, and a game screen determined according to the current field of view corresponding to a controlled virtual character is displayed on the graphical user interface. The controlled virtual character is controlled by the terminal device, and specifically includes the following steps S110 to S130:

[0036] Step S110, obtaining position information of a target virtual object shot by a virtual shooting prop within the current field of view, wherein the target virtual object is in motion;

[0037] Step S120: Determine the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current field of view based on the position information of the target virtual object.

[0038] Step S130: Adjust the display size of the target virtual object in the game screen according to the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current field of view.

[0039] Figure 1 In the steps shown above, on the one hand, the present disclosure establishes a connection between the virtual object in a moving state and the observation point to adjust the display size of the virtual object, which can avoid the situation that the player's observation is affected due to the virtual object moving too fast in the game scene, enabling the player to more clearly observe the movement process of the virtual object, thereby improving the game performance effect of the virtual object in a moving state. On the other hand, taking the current field of view as a unit, the present disclosure can simultaneously process the rendering effects of multiple virtual objects in a moving state to ensure the processing efficiency.

[0040] The following will separately Figure 1 describe each step in detail.

[0041] Step S110: Obtain the position information of the target virtual object shot by the virtual shooting prop within the current field of view, and the target virtual object is in a moving state.

[0042] The current field of view refers to the range of the game scene that can be currently presented in the graphical user interface of the terminal device where the controlled virtual character is located. The target virtual object is shot by a virtual shooting prop in the game scene and is in a moving state. For example, a virtual bullet in a flying state. Here, the virtual bullet refers to a realistic bullet in the game scene, which can be activated by a virtual firearm prop through a shooting operation, and the activated virtual bullet can fly in the game scene. It should be noted that when the target virtual object is a virtual bullet, the virtual bullet can be a self-luminous virtual model without a light source, that is, the virtual bullet will emit light during operation, but this light will not illuminate the game scene around the virtual bullet, so that the light emitted by the real bullet during flight can be simulated, and the system overhead will not be too large due to the need to process complex light reflections in the game scene. The position information of the target virtual object refers to the position where the target virtual object is currently located in the game scene.

[0043] In an optional implementation manner, after the target virtual object is shot, it can be extracted from the virtual object entity cache, and after the shooting of the target virtual object is completed, it can be stored in the virtual object entity cache.

[0044] Specifically, after the target virtual object is shot out from the virtual shooting prop, a virtual object entity can be extracted from the virtual object entity cache as the target virtual object. If there is no cached virtual object entity in the virtual object entity cache, a virtual object entity can be created in the virtual object entity cache for extraction. After the target virtual object is shot, it can be stored in the virtual object entity cache for reuse.

[0045] Taking the virtual bullet as an example, an implementation process for the creation, extraction, and storage of the virtual bullet entity can be described as follows:

[0046] Creation of the virtual bullet entity: Create a class named Bullet and a cache named BulletPoll for each virtual bullet. Each Bullet has a type, which is recorded on the Bullet and represented by Bullet.category. There are many queues in BulletPool, which are managed by a dictionary and can be represented as BulletPool.Dict.

[0047] Extraction of the virtual bullet entity: The virtual bullet entity can be extracted through the pseudocode "b = BulletPool.Borrow(c)".

[0048] Among them, c is the virtual bullet type, b is the extracted virtual bullet, Borrow represents the virtual bullet extraction, and the process of virtual bullet extraction can be specifically represented by the following pseudocode:

[0049] If BulletPool.Dict[c].IsNotEmpty():

[0050] return BulletPool.Dict[c].PopAnyOne

[0051] return CreateNewBullet()

[0052] The specific meaning of this section of pseudocode is: If there is a virtual bullet of type c in the virtual bullet entity cache, then extract a virtual bullet of type c from the virtual bullet entity cache; otherwise, create a new virtual bullet of type c.

[0053] Storage of the virtual bullet entity: The virtual bullet b can be stored in the virtual bullet entity cache through the pseudocode "BulletPool.GiveBack(b)".

[0054] GiveBack represents the virtual bullet storage, and the process of virtual bullet storage can be specifically represented by the following pseudocode:

[0055] BulletPool.Dict[b.category].append(b)

[0056] The specific meaning of this pseudo code is: according to the type of virtual bullet b, the virtual bullet is stored in the virtual bullet queue.

[0057] Step S120, determining the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current field of view according to the position information of the target virtual object.

[0058] The observation point corresponding to the current field of view refers to the observation point of the current field of view in the game scene, and the game screen observed from the observation point can be displayed in the graphical user interface of the terminal device. Through the position information of the target virtual object and the position of the observation point corresponding to the current field of view in the game scene, the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current field of view can be measured.

[0059] The target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current field of view can form the following Figure 2 The distance model shown in the figure, where the triangle icon 201 represents the observation point corresponding to the current field of view, the solid line 202 represents the boundary range of the current field of view, and the dotted line 203 represents the distance between the target virtual object 204 and the observation point. It should be noted that the current field of view may contain one or more target virtual objects, and the number of target virtual objects is mainly determined by the specific game battle situation. Figure 2 The target virtual objects are only shown for illustrative purposes.

[0060] Step S130, adjusting the display size of the target virtual object in the game screen according to the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current field of view.

[0061] The display size of the target virtual object refers to the display size of the target virtual object in the graphical user interface.

[0062] Take virtual bullets as an example. After being fired, virtual bullets usually fly in the game scene at a very fast speed. From the player's perspective, the farther the virtual bullet flies, the smaller it becomes. Since the virtual bullet itself is relatively small for the entire game scene, it is difficult to observe when it flies beyond a certain distance. By adjusting the display size of virtual bullets, the game performance of virtual bullets can be improved, so as to better show players the exciting and exciting scenes of gunfire and rain of bullets.

[0063] In an optional implementation, in the above step S130, the display size of the target virtual object is adjusted in the game screen according to the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current field of view, which can be achieved byFigure 3 It is generated by the steps shown below, specifically including the following steps S310 to S320:

[0064] Step S310: Determine the magnification ratio of the target virtual object according to the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current field of view.

[0065] Step S320: Adjust the display size of the target virtual object in the game screen based on the magnification ratio of the target virtual object and the original display size of the target virtual object.

[0066] Figure 3 In the steps shown below, by adaptively magnifying the target virtual object on its original display size, players can better observe the target virtual object in motion, which can, to a certain extent, alleviate the problem of poor game performance of the target virtual object in motion.

[0067] It should be noted that the magnification ratio of the target virtual object may be different at different game times, and the specific magnification ratio adopted is related to the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current field of view.

[0068] Specifically, in step S310, determine the magnification ratio of the target virtual object according to the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current field of view.

[0069] The magnification ratio of the target virtual object refers to the magnification ratio of the display size of the target virtual object in the game screen. The magnification ratio of the target virtual object is not fixed and can change with the movement of the target virtual object.

[0070] In an optional implementation, in step S310, determine the magnification ratio of the target virtual object according to the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current field of view, which can be specifically implemented in the following way: If the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current field of view is less than the first threshold, configure the magnification ratio of the target virtual object as 1; If the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current field of view is greater than the second threshold, then use the preset maximum magnification ratio as the magnification ratio of the target virtual object, where the second threshold is greater than the first threshold; If the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current field of view is greater than the first threshold and less than the second threshold, then determine the magnification ratio of the target virtual object according to the preset maximum magnification ratio, the first threshold, the second threshold, and the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current field of view.

[0071] In the above process, by taking the first threshold as the distance at which the scaling change of the original display size of the target virtual object starts, and the second threshold as the distance at which the scaling change of the original display size of the target virtual object ends, the magnification ratio of the target virtual object is divided into three cases, which are described below respectively.

[0072] If the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current viewing range is less than the first threshold, the magnification ratio of the target virtual object is configured to 1, that is, the target virtual object is kept at the original display size without magnification. In this case, since the target virtual object is relatively close to the observation point and is easily observable by the player, the target virtual object may not be magnified, so as to reduce the processing overhead to a certain extent.

[0073] If the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current viewing range is greater than the second threshold, the preset maximum magnification ratio is taken as the magnification ratio of the target virtual object. The preset magnification ratio refers to the maximum magnification ratio allowed for the original display size of the virtual object, which can be determined in advance by developers through testing. In this case, the magnification ratio of the target virtual object is fixed. When the target virtual object moves away from the observation point, from the perspective of the player, the target virtual object will still become smaller and smaller, which conforms to the "reality" recognized by the player.

[0074] If the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current viewing range is greater than the first threshold and less than the second threshold, in an optional implementation manner, the above determination of the magnification ratio of the target virtual object according to the preset maximum magnification ratio, the first threshold, the second threshold, and the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current viewing range can be implemented in the following way: taking the difference between the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current viewing range and the first threshold as the first difference, and taking the difference between the second threshold and the first threshold as the second difference; determining the magnification ratio of the target virtual object according to the ratio of the first difference to the second difference and the preset maximum magnification ratio. Exemplarily, the magnification ratio Scale of the target virtual object can be obtained by calculating Scale=(vd–min) / (max-min)*maxScale, so that there is a smooth transition between the magnification ratio of the target virtual object from 1 to the preset maximum magnification ratio, and the abrupt change of the display size of the target virtual object is avoided. Where (vd–min) is the first difference mentioned above, (max-min) is the second difference mentioned above, vd here represents the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current viewing range, min represents the first threshold, max represents the second threshold, and maxScale represents the preset maximum magnification ratio.

[0075] It should be noted that when the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current field of view is the first threshold, the magnification ratio of the target virtual object can be configured to 1, or the magnification ratio of the target virtual object can be determined according to the preset maximum magnification ratio, the first threshold, the second threshold, and the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current field of view. No specific limitation is made here. When the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current field of view is the second threshold, the preset maximum magnification ratio can be used as the magnification ratio of the target virtual object, or the magnification ratio of the target virtual object can be determined according to the preset maximum magnification ratio, the first threshold, the second threshold, and the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current field of view. No specific limitation is made here.

[0076] Specifically, in step S320, based on the magnification ratio of the target virtual object and the original display size of the target virtual object, the display size of the target virtual object is adjusted in the game screen.

[0077] The original display size of the target virtual object refers to the display size corresponding to the target virtual object when simulating the movement of a real object in the game scene.

[0078] Taking a virtual bullet as an example, from the perspective of the player, when the virtual bullet is displayed according to the original display size, as the virtual bullet flies farther and farther, the virtual bullet will look smaller and smaller. When the virtual bullet flies beyond a certain distance, the player will not be able to observe the virtual bullet. Using Figure 3 the segmented display size processing method shown can better ensure the observation experience of the virtual bullet.

[0079] In an optional implementation manner, after obtaining the position information of the target virtual object shot by the virtual shooting prop within the current field of view, the current movement distance of the target virtual object can also be determined according to the position information of the target virtual object. After determining the current movement distance of the target virtual object, the hit detection method of the target virtual object can also be determined based on the current movement distance of the target virtual object; based on the hit detection method of the target virtual object, it is detected whether the target virtual object hits; if the target virtual object hits, the target virtual object is adjusted from the moving state to the non-moving state in the game screen.

[0080] In the above process, determining the hit detection method of the target virtual object based on the movement distance of the target virtual object can achieve flexible switching of the hit detection method, so as to reduce the processing pressure of the processor as much as possible while ensuring the display effect of the target virtual object.

[0081] The hit detection method can be one of the entity collision detection method and the ray collision detection method. Exemplarily, if the current movement distance of the target virtual object is greater than the third threshold, the entity collision detection method is used as the hit detection method of the target virtual object; if the current movement distance of the target virtual object is less than the third threshold, the ray collision detection method is used as the hit detection method of the target virtual object. Among them, the third threshold can be set to the same value as the first threshold.

[0082] In a short distance range, there is little difference in the visual perception for players between determining whether the target virtual object hits by ray collision and by entity collision. Since in the actual application process, compared with entity collision, using ray collision to determine whether the target virtual object hits is more concise. Therefore, within a certain initial distance of shooting the target virtual object, using ray collision to determine whether the target virtual object hits can reduce the development cost to a certain extent.

[0083] When the third threshold is the same as the first threshold, since when the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current field of view is less than the first threshold, the original display size of the target virtual object is not scaled, and in this case, there is no change in the visual perception of the player. Therefore, by using the first threshold as the demarcation distance for determining whether the target virtual object hits in different ways, the development cost can be reduced to the greatest extent.

[0084] In an alternative implementation, if the target virtual object is shot by a virtual shooting prop controlled by other virtual characters in the game scene, it is also possible to determine whether the target virtual object passes by the controlled virtual character corresponding to the current field of view according to the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current field of view; if the target virtual object passes by the controlled virtual character corresponding to the current field of view, the shooting prompt information corresponding to the target virtual object is displayed in the game screen.

[0085] The shooting prompt information can be an icon label, which can be used to prompt the player that the controlled virtual character is currently under attack.

[0086] Exemplarily, if the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current field of view is less than the fourth threshold, the target virtual object passes by the controlled virtual character corresponding to the current field of view. Among them, the fourth threshold can be set according to the actual application situation and is not specifically limited here.

[0087] In the above process, based on the distance between the target virtual object and the observation point corresponding to the current field of view, it is determined whether the target virtual object passes by the player. Compared with the existing method of detecting whether the target virtual object passes by the player through ray detection, the system overhead is smaller.

[0088] It should be noted that the existing method of detecting whether a target virtual object passes by a controlled virtual character through ray detection belongs to a physical detection method, which is generally implemented in the following way: when the target virtual object moves in each frame, a ray needs to be emitted from its current position towards the controlled virtual character corresponding to the current field of view, and it is determined whether the ray hits the controlled virtual character, so as to determine whether the target virtual object passes by the player, resulting in a large communication overhead.

[0089] An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a game display control device. A graphical user interface is provided through a terminal device, and a game screen determined according to the current field of view corresponding to the controlled virtual character is displayed on the graphical user interface. The controlled virtual character is controlled by the terminal device, such as Figure 4 shown, the game display control device 400 may include:
