[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure more clear, the principles and spirit of the present disclosure will be described with reference to several exemplary embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided only to enable those skilled in the art to better understand and implement the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure in any way. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the present disclosure more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0024] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method, device, electronic device and storage medium for assisting aiming in a game are proposed.

[0025] It should be understood herein that any number of elements in the drawings is for illustration rather than limitation, and any naming is only for distinction rather than having any limiting meaning.

[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the embodiments of the present disclosure should be understood by people with ordinary skills in the field to which the present disclosure belongs. The "first", "second" and similar words used in the embodiments of the present disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. "Including" or "comprising" and similar words mean that the elements or objects appearing before the word cover the elements or objects listed after the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. "Connect" or "connected" and similar words are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. "Up", "down", "left", "right" and the like are only used to indicate relative positional relationships. When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0027] The principle and spirit of the present disclosure are explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0028] In the related art, in shooting games, usually, the user controls the virtual character to move or adjust the viewing angle to control the virtual crosshairs of the virtual props (such as weapons or grenades, etc.) controlled by the virtual character to achieve aiming at the behavioral target.

[0029] Meanwhile, the auxiliary aiming solutions in the prior art are usually aimed at the hostile units that have appeared in the field of vision of the player, but no auxiliary aiming measures are provided for other hostile units that have not appeared in the field of vision of the player.

[0030] In this case, when the target does not appear in the user's field of vision or attack range, the user needs to manually control the virtual joystick to move the virtual crosshairs to the position where the user estimates the target may appear. However, the accuracy of the user's estimated position cannot be guaranteed. Then, when the target appears in the user's field of vision or attack range, the user cannot aim in a short time and will miss the opportunity to act first, which may easily lead to the failure of the game and a poor user experience.

[0031] In order to solve the above problems, the present disclosure provides an auxiliary aiming scheme in a game, providing a graphical user interface through a first terminal, wherein the content displayed by the graphical user interface includes a player perspective screen and a virtual crosshair obtained by observing the game scene from the perspective of a first player character controlled by the first terminal, and the method includes: in response to an adjustment instruction for the aiming position of the virtual crosshair, adjusting the aiming position of the virtual crosshair in the player perspective screen; wherein the aiming position represents the position in the game scene pointed to by the virtual crosshair, and the virtual crosshair is used to assist in aiming at the behavior target of the first player character; predicting the predicted position of the behavior target in the player perspective screen, and controlling the virtual crosshair to aim at the predicted position, so as to control the first player character to attack the behavior target in response to the appearance of the behavior target at the predicted position; wherein the predicted position is the position where the behavior target may appear in the game scene.

[0066] In response to a touch operation on a second designated area on the graphical user interface, the viewing direction of the first player character in the game scene is controlled, and the aiming position of the virtual crosshair in the player's perspective screen is adjusted according to the viewing direction.

[0067] Exemplarily, the second designated area may be a right screen area preconfigured by the graphical user interface. The shape and size of the right screen area may be specifically configured according to requirements.

[0068] In some exemplary embodiments, the aiming position of the virtual crosshair is directly in front of the face of the first player character. Therefore, the aiming position of the virtual crosshair can be controlled by controlling the position or viewing direction of the first player character in the game scene.

[0069] Step S320, predicting the predicted position of the behavior target in the player's perspective screen, and controlling the virtual crosshairs to aim at the predicted position, so as to control the first player character to attack the behavior target in response to the behavior target appearing at the predicted position; wherein the predicted position is the position where the behavior target may appear in the game scene.

[0070] In some exemplary embodiments, the behavioral target includes a second player character in an adversarial relationship with the first player character;

[0074] The historical attack position represents the historical position of the player character when attacking; and the historical attack pointing position represents the pointing position of the historical player character when attacking.

[0075] The position of the second player character is predicted by the historical attacking position and the historical attacked position.

[0076] In some exemplary embodiments, predicting the second position where the second player character may be located based on the first position and the data pair includes:

[0077] In response to the first position of the first player character being the historical attack position, the historical attack pointing position corresponding to the historical attack position is used as the second position.

[0078] In some exemplary embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0079] In response to the fact that there are multiple historical attack pointing positions corresponding to the historical attack position, the historical attack pointing position with the highest occurrence frequency in the historical time period corresponding to the current time period among the multiple historical attack pointing positions is used as the second position.

[0080] In some exemplary embodiments, the predicting the predicted position of the behavior target of the first player character in the player's perspective screen further includes:

[0081] Acquire a historical movement trajectory of the second player character, and predict a third position of the second player character at a target time according to the historical movement trajectory, and use the third position as the predicted position;

[0082] The historical movement trajectory represents the movement trajectory of the second player character in the game scene at a historical moment.

[0083] The position of the second player character is predicted through the historical movement trajectory.

[0084] In some exemplary embodiments, the predicting the predicted position of the behavior target of the first player character in the player's perspective screen further includes:

[0085] In response to there being a plurality of second positions, the second position is at least partially replaced by the third position.

[0087] Replace the second position with a lower probability of appearing among the plurality of second positions with a third position with a higher probability of appearing among the plurality of third positions;

[0088] The occurrence probability represents the proportion of the occurrence times of each position among multiple positions of the same type in the total occurrence times.

[0089] In some exemplary embodiments, the historical number of occurrences of each position is maintained, and the sum of the historical number of occurrences of all positions is the total number of occurrences.

[0090] In some exemplary embodiments, the behavioral target includes a non-player character in an adversarial relationship with the first player character;

[0091] The predicting of the predicted position of the behavior target of the first player character in the player's perspective image includes:

[0098] When the virtual crosshair is within a preset range of the predicted position mark, in response to not detecting a touch operation on the virtual crosshair, the virtual crosshair is controlled to move to a position of the predicted position mark.

[0099] Among them, it is detected that the user has a tendency to attack based on the predicted position, helping the user to achieve more precise virtual crosshair control.

[0100] In some exemplary embodiments, after displaying the predicted position marker at the predicted position in the player perspective screen, the method further includes:

[0101] displaying a lock control in the graphical user interface;

[0102] In response to a touch operation on the locking control, the virtual crosshair is controlled to move and the position of the predicted position marker is locked.

[0103] Among them, locking means that the virtual crosshairs is fixedly aimed at the position of the predicted position mark and does not move, and the aiming position of the virtual crosshairs is no longer adjusted according to the adjustment instruction for the aiming position of the virtual crosshairs.

[0104] In some exemplary embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0105] In response to the virtual crosshairs being located at the position of the predicted position marker, the virtual crosshairs is highlighted in the graphical user interface by one or more methods including enlarging, bolding, highlighting or adding color.

[0106] In some exemplary embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0107] In response to a change in the player's perspective image, the predicted position in the player's perspective image is updated.

[0108] Among them, when the player's perspective screen changes, the position of the same predicted position in the game scene in the two perspective screens will change. In this case, the aiming direction of the virtual crosshairs can be adjusted according to the position of the predicted position in the changed player's perspective screen.

[0109] From the above, it can be seen that the auxiliary aiming method in the game provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes: in response to an adjustment instruction for the aiming position of the virtual crosshair, adjusting the aiming position of the virtual crosshair in the player's perspective screen; wherein the aiming position represents the position in the game scene pointed to by the virtual crosshair, and the virtual crosshair is used to assist in aiming at the behavior target of the first player character; predicting the predicted position of the behavior target in the player's perspective screen, and controlling the virtual crosshair to aim at the predicted position, so as to control the first player character to attack the behavior target in response to the appearance of the behavior target at the predicted position; wherein the predicted position is the position where the behavior target may appear in the game scene. The present disclosure provides players with aiming assistance based on position prediction for targets that are about to appear in the player's field of view, simplifies player control, enriches the diversity of auxiliary aiming, and improves player experience.

[0110] It should be noted that the method of the embodiment of the present disclosure can be performed by a single device, such as a computer or a server. The method of the present embodiment can also be applied in a distributed scenario and completed by multiple devices cooperating with each other. In the case of such a distributed scenario, one of the multiple devices can only perform one or more steps in the method of the embodiment of the present disclosure, and the multiple devices will interact with each other to complete the described method.

[0111] It should be noted that the above describes some embodiments of the present disclosure. Other embodiments are within the scope of the appended claims.
