[0072] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. It should be understood that the accompanying drawings in this application are only for the purposes of illustration and description, and are not used to limit the protection scope of this application.

In addition, those skilled in the art may add one or more other operations to the flowchart or remove one or more operations from the flowchart under the guidance of the content of this application.

[0073] In addition, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, rather than all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application usually described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings here may be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of this application claimed, but merely represents the selected embodiments of this application. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0074] In a game information prompt method in one embodiment of the present disclosure, it can run on a local terminal device or a server. When the game information prompt method runs on the server, the method can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interaction system, where the cloud interaction system includes a server and a client device.

[0075] In an optional implementation manner, various cloud applications can run under the cloud interaction system, such as cloud games. 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 entity of the game program and the presenting entity of the game screen are separated. The storage and running of the game information prompt method are completed on the cloud game server, and the role of the client device is for data reception, sending, and the presentation of the game screen. For example, the client device can be a display device with data transmission function near the user side, such as a mobile terminal, a television, a computer, a personal digital assistant, etc.; however, the information processing is performed by the cloud game server in the cloud. When playing a 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 data such as the game screen, returns it to the client device through the network, and finally, the client device decodes and outputs the game screen.

[0076] In an alternative embodiment, taking a game as an example, the local terminal device stores a game program and is used to present game scenes. The local terminal device is used to interact with players through a graphical user interface, that is, conventionally, the game program is downloaded and installed on an electronic device and then run. The local terminal device can provide the graphical user interface to players in various ways. For example, it can be rendered and displayed on the display screen of the terminal, or provided to players through holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device can include a display screen and a processor. The display screen is used to present the graphical user interface, which includes game scenes, and the processor is used to run the game, generate the graphical user interface, and control the display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.

[0077] In a possible embodiment, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for information prompting in a game. The game scene and the player character therein are displayed through the graphical user interface provided by the terminal device. Herein, the terminal device can be the aforementioned local terminal device or the client device in the aforementioned cloud interaction system.

[0078] It should be noted that the term "including" will be used in the embodiments of the present application to indicate the existence of the features stated thereafter, but does not exclude adding other features.

[0079] Figure 1 It is a schematic flowchart of a method for information prompting in a game provided by an embodiment of the present application; the execution subject of this method can be the server corresponding to the terminal device providing the game interaction interface. As Figure 1 shown, this method can include:

[0080] S101. In response to a movement instruction, control the player character to move in the game scene according to the movement type corresponding to the movement instruction.

[0081] Herein, the movement type reflects the degree of change in the unit movement distance of the player character in the game scene based on the movement instruction.

[0082] In some embodiments, this method can be applied to role-playing games. Players can control the player character to move in the game scene. In response to the movement instruction input by the player through the graphical user interface, control the player character to move in the game scene according to the movement type corresponding to the movement instruction.

[0083] The movement type can refer to the way the player character moves, such as running, walking, jumping, etc. The movement instructions corresponding to different movement types are different to more precisely distinguish movement control. For example, the movement instruction: slide the virtual joystick forward, and the corresponding movement type is: running; the movement instruction: click the virtual joystick, and the corresponding movement type is: jumping.

[0084] S102: Determine a first distance between the player character and an edge position of a designated scene area.

[0085] Game scenes can feature different terrains. Player characters can fall from certain terrains, such as cliffs, rooftops, and hillsides, potentially ending the game. For example, in the game Battle Royale, the game scene updates in real time, allowing players to run, walk, and perform other activities. However, if a player character continues to move toward a cliff, they will fall and die, ending the game.

[0086] This method determines the first distance between the player character and the edge of the designated scene area in real time when the player character is at any position, thereby making a danger judgment based on the first distance. The designated scene area here can refer to some of the special terrain scenes listed above, of course, it is not limited to the listed ones.

[0087] The first distance refers to the distance between the player character and the edge position of the designated scene area, and the edge position of the designated scene area may be the edge position pointed to when the distance between the player character and the edge position of the designated scene area is the shortest.

[0088] S103: Determine a distance prompt threshold corresponding to the movement type; the distance prompt threshold represents a critical distance between the player character and the edge position of the specified scene area.

[0089] In some embodiments, a distance prompt threshold corresponding to the running type of the player character may also be determined. The distance prompt threshold may be used to judge the safety of the player character during the movement from the current position to the designated scene area.

[0090] The distance prompt thresholds corresponding to different types of movement of the player character may be different to ensure the accuracy and uniqueness of the distance prompt thresholds under different types of movement.

[0091] S104 : Displaying first prompt information on a graphical user interface according to the first distance and a distance prompt threshold corresponding to the motion type, where the first prompt information indicates that the first distance in a first prompt direction does not meet the distance prompt threshold.

[0092] In this embodiment, the calculation of the player character and a designated scene area in the game scene is taken as an example. In the actual game scene, there may be multiple designated scene areas around the player character. The relevant calculations can be performed on the player character and each designated scene area simultaneously. Then, for different designated scene areas, a first prompt message can be displayed on the graphical user interface, and the first prompt directions corresponding to the first prompt messages are different. That is to say, at the same moment, multiple first prompt messages may be displayed on the graphical user interface at the same time, and the prompt directions of the first prompt messages are different. There may be a first prompt message displayed on the left side of the player character and a first prompt message displayed on the right side of the player character, so as to achieve a more comprehensive information prompt.

[0093] In summary, the information prompt method in the game provided in this embodiment, based on the movement type of the player character, determines the first distance between the player character and the edge position of the designated scene area in real time during the process of controlling the player character to move in the game scene. Then, according to the first distance and the distance prompt threshold corresponding to the movement type, it judges the information prompt direction corresponding to the player character in real time, and displays the prompt message in the information prompt direction, so as to conveniently guide the player character to avoid danger in the game, improve the probability of the player character winning the game, and enhance the game experience. For different movement types, the calculation of the distance prompt threshold corresponding to different movement types is carried out, so that the obtained distance prompt threshold is more unique, the accuracy of the calculated distance prompt threshold can be improved, and then the information prompt under each operation type can be carried out based on the distance prompt threshold, which can improve the accuracy of the information prompt and make an accurate prompt for the player character. In addition, by displaying the prompt message in the information prompt direction, it can make a more intuitive prompt to the player and improve the player's game experience.

[0094] Optionally, the method of the present application further includes: determining the extension direction from the position before the player character moves to the position after the move as the first prompt direction; or determining the extension direction from the position after the player character moves to the edge position of the designated scene area as the first prompt direction.

[0095] This embodiment exemplarily gives two ways to determine the first prompt direction. In one way, the moving direction of the player character can be used as the first prompt direction, and the moving direction is also the extension direction from the position before moving to the position after moving. In another way, the extension direction from the current position of the player character after moving to the edge position of the designated scene area can be determined as the first prompt direction.

[0096] Whether the player character is moving forward or backward in the game scene can be included in the above determination methods. That is to say, accurate information prompts can be made in both the forward and backward movement cases of the player character.

[0097] Figure 2 Schematic flowchart of another information prompting method in a game provided by an embodiment of this application; Optionally, in step S103, determining the distance prompting threshold corresponding to the movement type may include:

[0098] S201. Obtain the unit movement distance of the player character under the movement type.

[0099] Generally, during game design, the unit movement distance of the player character when performing each movement type in the game is preset. That is to say, in a game, the distance of each step or each run of the player character is preset. Based on the determined movement type of the player character, the unit movement distance of the player character under this movement type can be obtained.

[0100] S202. Determine the distance prompting threshold corresponding to the movement type according to at least one of the three parameters: the unit movement distance of the player character under the movement type, the preset lower limit of the number of movement steps under the movement type, and the unit movement distance of the player character under the specified movement type. The specified movement type indicates the movement type with the largest unit movement distance among multiple movement types.

[0101] Optionally, for each movement type, a lower limit of the number of movement steps can be preset. Since the unit movement distances of different movement types are different, compared with the movement type of running, the unit movement distance of the movement type of walking is less than the unit movement distance of the movement type of running, and the unit movement distance of the movement type of running is less than the unit movement distance of the movement type of long jump. Therefore, the preset lower limit of the number of movement steps for each movement type can be set according to the specific situation of each movement type.

[0102] The preset lower limit of the number of movement steps under the movement type is also the minimum number of steps that the player character moves towards the edge position of the specified scene area when the player character is at the current position. Taking the movement type of walking as an example, if the preset lower limit of the number of movement steps in the walking mode is set to 5 steps, it can be understood that when the player character is at the current position, the player character can reach the edge position of the specified scene area by walking at least 5 steps. And when the number of steps that the player character walks to the edge position of the specified scene area is less than 5 steps, it can be considered that the distance between the player character and the edge position of the specified scene area is relatively close, and there will be danger if the player character continues to move towards the edge position of the specified scene area. The preset lower limit of the number of movement steps for each movement type can be reasonably set according to requirements.

[0103] For the determination of the movement type with the maximum unit movement distance of the player character among the movement types, since there are differences in the unit movement distances of the player character under each movement type, and the unit movement distances of the player character under each movement type are preset and can be directly obtained. That is, when the game content is determined, the movement types that the player character may be involved in the game scene are also determined. And when the movement type is determined, the movement type with the maximum unit movement distance of the player character among the movement types is also determined. That is, the specified movement type is determined, so the unit movement distance of the specified movement type can also be directly obtained.

[0104] Optionally, based on at least one of the three parameters: the unit movement distance of the player character under the above movement type, the preset lower limit of the movement steps under the movement type, and the unit movement distance of the player character under the specified movement type, the distance prompt threshold corresponding to the movement type can be determined.

[0105] Figure 3 It is a flowchart of another method for information prompting in a game provided by an embodiment of the present application; optionally, in a realizable manner, the movement type may include a first movement type; in step S202, according to at least one of the three parameters: the unit movement distance of the player character under the movement type, the preset lower limit of the movement steps under the movement type, and the unit movement distance of the player character under the specified movement type, determining the distance prompt threshold corresponding to the movement type includes:

[0106] S301. Determine the upper limit of the first distance prompt threshold corresponding to the first movement type according to the unit movement distance of the player character under the first movement type and the preset lower limit of the movement steps under the first movement type.

[0107] The first movement type may refer to a movement type with an unfixed unit movement distance. That is, when the player character moves in the game scene in the first movement type, its unit movement distance may change. In this case, since the movement type is dynamically changing, the upper limit of the first distance prompt threshold corresponding to the first movement type can be determined according to the unit movement distance of the player character under the first movement type and the preset lower limit of the movement steps under the first movement type.

[0108] Optionally, it may be to perform a multiplication operation on the unit movement distance of the player character under the first movement type and the preset lower limit of the movement steps under the first movement type to obtain the upper limit of the first distance prompt threshold corresponding to the first movement type. For example: Suppose the unit movement distance of the player character under the first movement type is 0.5 meters, and the preset lower limit of the movement steps under the first movement type is 5 meters. Then, multiplying them can obtain the upper limit of the first distance prompt threshold corresponding to the first movement type as 0.5 multiplied by 5, which is 2.5 meters.

[0109] S302. Determine the lower limit of the first distance prompt threshold corresponding to the first movement type according to the unit movement distance of the player character under the specified movement type.

[0110] In the case where the movement type changes dynamically, it is also necessary to determine the lower limit of the distance prompt threshold. Since the movement type changes dynamically, the unit movement distance of the player character at the next moment cannot be estimated. Then, the unit movement distance of the specified movement type determined above can be used as the lower limit of the first distance prompt threshold corresponding to the first movement type. In this way, when the player character can move one step to reach the edge position of the specified scene area in the specified movement type, in other movement types, it can move at least one step before reaching the edge position of the specified scene area.

[0111] Optionally, in step S104, according to the first distance and the first distance prompt threshold corresponding to the first movement type, displaying the first prompt information on the graphical user interface may include: if the distance between the player character and the edge position of the specified scene area is less than the lower limit of the first distance prompt threshold, then display the first prompt information in the first prompt direction on the graphical user interface.

[0112] It should be noted that this judgment method that the distance between the player character and the edge position of the specified scene area is less than the lower limit of the first distance prompt threshold makes it considered safe and the first prompt information is not displayed when the player character can move at least one step towards the edge position of the specified scene area in any first movement type. However, whenever there is a first movement type in which the player character cannot move one step towards the edge position of the specified scene area, it is considered dangerous and the first prompt information is displayed.

[0113] In some embodiments, for the case where the movement type is the first movement type, if the distance between the player character and the edge position of the specified scene area is less than the lower limit of the first distance prompt threshold, then determine the direction of the edge position of the specified scene area relative to the player character as the first prompt direction. In this case where the distance between the player character and the edge position of the specified scene area is less than the lower limit of the first distance prompt threshold, when the movement type of the player character changes to the specified movement type, since the unit movement distance in the specified movement type is equal to the lower limit of the first distance prompt threshold, and at this time, the distance between the player character and the edge position of the specified scene area is less than the lower limit of the first distance prompt threshold, then when the player character moves towards the edge position of the specified scene area in the specified movement type, the player character will reach the edge position of the specified scene area without even being able to complete one step. That is, when the player character moves one step in the specified movement type, it will surely enter the specified scene area, weakening the health value of the player character.

[0114] Therefore, when it is determined that the distance between the player character and the edge position of the specified scene area is less than the lower limit of the first distance prompt threshold, the direction of the edge position of the specified scene area relative to the player character is determined as the first prompt direction. At the same time, the first prompt information can be displayed in the first prompt direction to give a timely danger prompt.

[0115] Optionally, in step S104, displaying the first prompt information on the graphical user interface according to the first distance and the first distance prompt threshold corresponding to the first movement type may include: If the distance between the player character and the edge position of the specified scene area is greater than the lower limit of the first distance prompt threshold and less than the upper limit of the first distance prompt threshold, the first prompt information is displayed in the first prompt direction on the graphical user interface.

[0116] Different from the above judgment method where the distance between the player character and the edge position of the specified scene area is less than the lower limit of the first distance prompt threshold, in this embodiment, under the judgment method where the distance between the player character and the edge position of the specified scene area is greater than the lower limit of the first distance prompt threshold and less than the upper limit of the first distance prompt threshold, it is necessary to ensure that when the player character moves towards the edge position of the specified scene area in any first movement type, it can move at least the preset number of steps corresponding to the first movement type to be considered safe, and the first prompt information is not displayed. If the preset number of steps corresponding to the first movement type cannot be moved, it is considered dangerous, and the first prompt information is displayed.

[0117] In addition, it is worth noting that in the scenario where the distance between the player character and the edge position of the specified scene area is greater than the lower limit of the first distance prompt threshold and less than the upper limit of the first distance prompt threshold, the first prompt information displayed may be the same as the first prompt information in the scenario where the distance between the player character and the edge position of the specified scene area is less than the lower limit of the first distance prompt threshold. Of course, it can also be different. Since the danger level of the scenario where the distance between the player character and the edge position of the specified scene area is less than the lower limit of the first distance prompt threshold is higher than that of the scenario where the distance between the player character and the edge position of the specified scene area is greater than the lower limit of the first distance prompt threshold and less than the upper limit of the first distance prompt threshold, the first prompt information corresponding to the scenario where the distance between the player character and the edge position of the specified scene area is less than the lower limit of the first distance prompt threshold can give a danger coefficient prompt to more conveniently show the danger level to the player and improve the player's attention. Or, the first prompt information displayed in these two scenarios can be displayed in different display methods to accurately provide the player with the current danger state.

[0118] In some other embodiments, for the case where the movement type is the first movement type, if the distance between the player character and the edge position of the specified scene area is greater than the lower limit of the first distance prompt threshold and less than the upper limit of the first distance prompt threshold, then the direction of the edge position of the specified scene area relative to the player character is determined as the first prompt direction.

[0119] In the case where the movement type changes dynamically, it is also possible to make a judgment based on both the lower limit of the distance prompt threshold and the upper limit of the distance prompt threshold. When the distance between the player character and the edge position of the specified scene area is greater than the lower limit of the first distance prompt threshold, it is further possible to determine whether the distance between the player character and the edge position of the specified scene area is less than the upper limit of the first distance prompt threshold. The upper limit of the first distance prompt threshold is equal to the distance prompt threshold in the case where the movement type is fixed. When the distance between the player character and the edge position of the specified scene area is less than the upper limit of the first distance prompt threshold, it can be considered that when the player character moves towards the edge position of the specified scene area with the first movement type, the player character cannot move the minimum number of movement steps set by the first movement type. For example: the first movement type is jogging, the lower limit of the number of movement steps in the preset jogging type is 5 steps, the unit movement distance in jogging is 0.5 meters, and the corresponding upper limit of the first distance prompt threshold for the jogging type is 2.5. When the distance between the player character and the edge position of the specified scene area is less than 2.5 meters, when the player character moves towards the edge position of the specified scene area with the jogging movement type, the player character can move at most 4 steps. When moving the 5th step, the player character will enter the specified scene area, causing a reduction in the player character's health value. Therefore, in this case, the direction of the edge position of the specified scene area relative to the player character can also be determined as the first prompt direction. At the same time, the first prompt information can be displayed in the first prompt direction to give a timely danger prompt.

[0120] It can also be determined that the distance between the current position of the player character and the edge position of the specified scene area is relatively close. The direction of the edge position of the specified scene area relative to the player character can be determined as the first prompt direction, and the first prompt information is displayed in the first prompt direction.

[0121] Optionally, the above-mentioned first movement type may include one or more of jogging, dodging, and sprinting. Among them, the unit movement distances during jogging, dodging, and sprinting do not remain constant, and there may be a certain acceleration.

[0122] The first movement type can be an independent movement type, such as jogging, dodging, sprinting, etc., or it can be a switch between multiple movement types, such as jogging - dodging - sprinting. Whether it is an independent movement type or a switch between multiple movement types, it belongs to the situation where the movement type changes dynamically.

[0123] Optionally, in another implementable manner, the movement type may further include a second movement type. In step S202, according to at least one of the three parameters: the unit movement distance of the player character under the movement type, the preset lower limit of the movement steps under the movement type, and the unit movement distance of the player character under the specified movement type, determining the distance prompt threshold corresponding to the movement type may include: according to the unit movement distance of the player character under the second movement type, the preset lower limit of the movement steps under the second movement type, the second distance prompt threshold corresponding to the second movement type.

[0124] The second movement type may refer to a movement type with a fixed unit movement distance. That is, when the player character moves in the game scene with the second movement type, its unit movement distance remains unchanged, belonging to uniform motion.

[0125] In this case, since the movement type is fixed, the second distance prompt threshold corresponding to the second movement type can be determined according to the unit movement distance of the player character under the second movement type and the preset lower limit of the movement steps under the second movement type. In this case, there is no distinction between the upper and lower limits of the distance prompt threshold, and accurate judgment can be made only through the second distance prompt threshold.

[0126] Similarly, the calculation of the second distance prompt threshold is the same as the calculation of the above-mentioned upper limit of the first distance prompt threshold. Multiply the unit movement distance of the player character under the second movement type by the preset lower limit of the movement steps under the second movement type to obtain the second distance prompt threshold corresponding to the second movement type.

[0127] When the distance between the player character and the edge position of the specified scene area is less than the second distance prompt threshold, the first prompt threshold is displayed in the first prompt direction.

[0128] Optionally, the above-mentioned second movement type may include: walking slowly. Here, walking slowly refers to walking at a uniform speed, and the unit movement distance of the player character remains unchanged in the moving mode of walking slowly.

[0129] It should be noted that the unit movement distance of the second movement type may be less than the unit movement distance of the first movement type, and the unit movement distance of the player character under the second movement type has a large change.

[0130] Optionally, the method of the present application may further include: displaying the first prompt information in the first prompt direction according to a preset display style.

[0131] Since there may be multiple different specified scenario areas around the player character at the same time, in order to more clearly distinguish and display the first prompt information between the player character and each specified scenario area, for each specified scenario area, a display style can be adopted in the first prompt direction determined by the specified scenario area and the player character to display the first prompt information.

[0132] In an implementable manner, the first prompt information can be displayed in the form of an arrow. Among them, the arrow can be the extension line direction from the current position of the player character to the edge position of the specified scenario area, and the direction pointed by the arrow can indicate that there is danger in that direction. Among them, for different specified scenario areas, the arrow colors of the first prompt information displayed in their corresponding directions can be different.

[0133] The first information prompt can also be displayed in the form of text. For example, a text box is displayed in the first prompt direction, and prompt text is displayed in the text box.

[0134] Or, it can also be displayed in the form of a preset mark. For example, a preset mark is displayed in the first prompt direction, such as displaying an asterisk mark, etc. Of course, it is not limited to the several methods listed above.

[0135] Suppose the first prompt direction determined by the player character and the specified scenario area 1 is direction 1, and the first prompt direction determined by the player character and the specified scenario area 2 is direction 2. Then, different display styles can be adopted in direction 1 and direction 2 to display the first prompt information. Figure 4 Taking the example that arrows are used for display in both direction 1 and direction 2, in practical applications, the display methods in direction 1 and direction 2 can be different.

[0136] Optionally, the method of the present application may further include: displaying second prompt information on the graphical user interface, where the second prompt information indicates that the first distance meets the distance prompt threshold in the second prompt direction, and the second prompt direction is other directions in the same plane as the first prompt direction except the first prompt direction.

[0137] In addition, in addition to displaying the first prompt information in the first prompt direction, second prompt information can also be displayed in the second prompt direction. The second prompt direction can refer to other directions in the same plane as the first prompt direction. The second prompt direction can be considered a safe direction. When the player character moves in the second prompt direction, the health value of the player character will not be affected by external terrain factors.

[0138] Optionally, the second prompt information and the first prompt information have different display states.

[0139] In an implementable manner, the second prompt information displayed in the second prompt direction can be displayed in a display manner different from that of the first prompt information, so as to more clearly distinguish the first prompt information from the second prompt information.

[0140] For example: when the first prompt information is displayed as an arrow, the second prompt information can be text, or when the first prompt information is a red arrow, the second prompt information can be a green arrow, etc.

[0141] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of an information prompt interface provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 Taking the example that there are three specified scene areas around the current position of the player character, among them, the first distance between the specified scene area 1 and the player character meets the distance prompt threshold, the first distance between the specified scene area 2 and the player character also meets the distance prompt threshold, and the first distance between the specified scene area 3 and the player character does not meet the distance prompt threshold. Here, the prompt information is displayed in the form of an arrow. Then, the prompt information can be displayed in the extension direction of the edge position of the player character facing the specified scene area 1, and the prompt information can also be displayed in the extension direction of the edge position of the player character facing the specified scene area 2.

[0142] Optionally, in step S104, after the first prompt information is displayed on the graphical user interface, the method may further include: in response to a movement instruction, adjusting the movement direction of the player character to the second prompt direction.

[0143] In an implementable manner, after the first prompt information is displayed in the first prompt direction, the player can continue to control the player character to move in the first prompt direction. That is, when the player knows that there is danger in a certain direction and still continues to control the player character to move in that direction, then the player character may fall from the specified scene area and end the game.

[0144] In another implementable manner, after the first prompt information is displayed in the first prompt direction, if the player continues to control the player character to move in the first prompt direction, then in response to the player's movement instruction for the player character, the movement direction of the player character can be changed to the second prompt direction, that is, restricting the player character from moving in the dangerous direction to avoid the interruption of the game caused by terrain factors for the player character, thereby improving the player's game experience.

[0145] In summary, the information prompting method in the game provided in this embodiment determines, in real time, the first distance between the player character and the edge position of the specified scene area during the process of controlling the player character to move in the game scene based on the movement type of the player character. Then, according to the first distance and the distance prompting threshold corresponding to the movement type, it determines, in real time, the information prompting direction corresponding to the player character currently, and displays a prompt message in the information prompting direction, so as to conveniently guide the player character to avoid danger in the game, improve the probability of the player character winning the game, and enhance the game experience. For different movement types, it calculates the distance prompting thresholds corresponding to different movement types, making the obtained distance prompting thresholds more unique, improving the accuracy of the calculated distance prompting thresholds, and thus performing information prompting under each operation type based on the distance prompting thresholds, which can improve the accuracy of information prompting to make an accurate prompt for the player character. In addition, by displaying the prompt message in the information prompting direction, it can more intuitively prompt the player and improve the player's game experience.
