[0002] In shooting games, throwing weapons are widely used. For example, fragmentation grenades, smoke bombs, stun grenades, molotov cocktails, etc. In related technologies, during the operation guidance process of throwing weapons, after the weapon is triggered, the throwing path of the weapon is usually displayed in the game scene; when the player adjusts the position of the control, the throwing path changes accordingly in the game scene. This operation guidance method provides relatively vague guidance information, and the probability of the player hitting the target is low, which easily leads to accidental injury or ineffective attacks, affecting the player's gaming experience.

[0021] Other features and advantages of the present invention will be described in the following specification, and some will become obvious from the specification, or be understood by implementing the present invention. The objectives and other advantages of the present invention are achieved and obtained by the structures specifically pointed out in the specification, claims, and drawings.

[0022] To make the above objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following preferred embodiments are specifically given, and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the detailed description is as follows. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] To more clearly illustrate the specific embodiments of the present invention or the technical solutions in the prior art, the following will briefly introduce the drawings required for use in the description of the specific embodiments or the prior art. Obviously, the drawings in the following description are some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, without creative efforts, other drawings can also be obtained based on these drawings.

[0028] Figure 5 A schematic structural diagram of an electronic device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Specific Embodiments

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] In shooting games, to facilitate players to remotely attack enemy objects in the distance, throwing weapons with strong attack power, long attack distance, and large attack range are usually provided, such as fragmentation grenades, smoke bombs, stun grenades, molotov cocktails, etc. Players control the virtual object to throw the weapon at a certain location within the field of view, thereby releasing the weapon skill within the selected range of the player. However, in most games, in the operation guidance of throwing weapons, only the special effect trajectory curve for previewing the throwing path is designed to be displayed on the graphical interface. It is difficult for players to clearly know the damage range of the weapon after it moves along this trajectory to the landing point, resulting in players possibly accidentally injuring teammate objects or failing to attack enemy objects. For novice players, they may spend a lot of time repeatedly adjusting the special effect trajectory curve, resulting in accidentally injuring themselves because they fail to throw the weapon before the countdown ends.

[0031] Such as Figure 1As shown in the figure, in the related art, the operation process of a player controlling a virtual object to throw a weapon can be achieved through the following steps:

[0032] 1) Click on the throwable identifier, and this throwable identifier replaces the weapon icon on the normal attack control;

[0033] 2) Long-press and drag the normal attack control, and adjust the throwing path according to the preview throwing trajectory curve shown in the game scene;

[0034] 3) Display the usage countdown UI during the process of adjusting the throwing path; there may be no countdown set for some throwables;

[0035] 4) Release the normal attack button to complete the operation function of throwing the item.

[0036] In this way, since the damage range of the weapon cannot be predicted, it is very easy for players to accidentally hurt others due to incorrect prediction. Coupled with the fact that the time cost of adjusting the throwing path curve is too high, it is very easy for players to feel a strong sense of frustration and an unsmooth interaction experience.

[0037] The inventor found during the research process that in FPS (First Personal Shooting Game) and TPS (Third Personal Shooting Game), players are relatively vague about the judgment of the front-back distance. If the damage range of the throwable landing point is displayed in the game scene, players cannot accurately judge whether the target point is within the damage range of the throwable, resulting in ineffective attacks.

[0038] Based on this, an embodiment of the present invention provides a control method, device, and electronic device for a virtual throwable. This technology can be applied in games or other virtual scenarios, especially in shooting games.

[0039] The control method for the virtual throwable in one embodiment of the present invention can run on a local terminal device or a server. When the control method for the virtual throwable runs on the server, this method can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interaction system, where the cloud interaction system includes a server and a client device.

[0040] In an alternative embodiment, various cloud applications can run under a 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 entity presenting the game screen are separated. The storage and operation of the control method of the virtual projectile are completed on the cloud game server, and the role of the client device is to receive and send data and present 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 game screen is decoded and output through the client device.

[0041] In an alternative embodiment, taking a game as an example, the local terminal device stores a game program and is used to present the game screen. The local terminal device is used to interact with the player through a graphical user interface, that is, conventionally, the game program is downloaded and installed on an electronic device and run. The way the local terminal device provides the graphical user interface to the player can include various methods. For example, it can be rendered and displayed on the display screen of the terminal, or provided to the player 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, and the graphical user interface includes the game screen. 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.

[0042] In a possible embodiment, the embodiment of the present invention provides a control method for a virtual projectile. A graphical user interface is provided through a terminal device, where the terminal device can be the aforementioned local terminal device or the client device in the aforementioned cloud interaction system. By providing a graphical user interface through the terminal device, the interface content can be displayed on the graphical user interface according to the type of the launched application program. For example, a game scene screen, a communication interaction window, etc. In this embodiment, by providing a graphical user interface through the terminal device, the graphical user interface includes a first scene screen of the game scene. Here, the first scene screen can be the scene screen of the game scene where the controlled virtual object is located after the player enters the game session, and can be the scene screen of observing the game scene from the first game perspective or the third game perspective. In addition to the scene screen, various controls can also be displayed on the graphical user interface, such as an attack control, a movement control, a movement posture control, a weapon selection control, etc.

[0043] To facilitate the understanding of this embodiment, a control method for a virtual projectile disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention will be introduced in detail first. As Figure 2 shown, a graphical user interface is provided through a terminal device; the graphical user interface includes a first scene image of a game scene, and the control method for the virtual projectile includes the following steps:

[0044] Step S202, in response to the selection operation of the first projectile, display the throwing control of the first projectile in the graphical user interface;

[0045] The above-mentioned first projectile is a prop to be thrown selected by the player, and may include, for example, throwing weapons such as fragmentation grenades, smoke bombs, stun grenades, and Molotov cocktails, which have characteristics such as area damage, long-range attacks, and detecting vision; here, it can be selected by touching the control containing the projectile identifier in the graphical user interface. For example, the identifiers of various projectiles are displayed in the graphical user interface, and the above selection operation can be a single-click operation, double-click operation, drag operation, etc. on the projectile identifier.

[0046] When the player enters the game session, controls or elements used in the game can be displayed in the graphical user interface, such as a normal attack control, the projectile identifier of the alternative projectile, a timing control, a map control, etc. The throwing control of the above-mentioned first projectile is a trigger control for controlling the virtual object to throw the first projectile. When a trigger operation on the throwing control is received, the terminal controls the controlled virtual object to throw the first projectile.

[0047] Here, the first projectile can be selected by clicking or dragging the control containing the corresponding throwing identifier. In response to the selection operation of the first projectile, the throwing control of the first projectile is displayed in the graphical user interface. The throwing control can be a control that already exists in the graphical user interface before the selection operation, or a control newly added to the graphical user interface after the selection operation, or a control obtained by converting the function of other function controls.

[0048] Step S204, in response to the trigger operation of the throwing control, display a partial scene image of the game scene in the graphical user interface; wherein, the partial scene image includes: a scene image corresponding to the throwable scene area of the first projectile; the throwable scene area is determined based on the position of the controlled virtual object in the game scene and / or the attributes of the first projectile;

[0049] The above-mentioned triggering operation is usually an operation by the player on the throwing control through the touch screen of the terminal device, such as a long press, a drag, etc. After the throwing control is triggered, a partial scene map of the game scene is displayed in the graphical user interface. The partial scene map includes a scene map corresponding to the throwable scene area of the first throwable object. This scene map can be a regional map of the throwable scene area of the first throwable object, or a scene image obtained by a virtual camera looking down on the throwable scene area and shooting.

[0050] It should be noted that the throwable scene area can be understood as that any position in this area can be used as the throwing landing position of the first throwable object, providing a visual display for the throwable scene area of the first throwable object. Here, the throwable scene area is not only related to the position of the controlled virtual object in the game scene, but may also be related to attributes such as the farthest throwing distance and the nearest throwing distance of the first throwable object. Specifically, the throwable scene area can be determined according to the position of the controlled virtual object in the game scene and the attributes of the first throwable object, or can be determined only according to one of the position of the controlled virtual object in the game scene or the attributes of the first throwable object. It can be understood that when the controlled virtual object throws a weapon at the same position, the farthest throwing distance and the nearest throwing distance corresponding to the throwable object are different, and the throwing scene area of the throwable object is also different.

[0051] In this step, in response to the triggering operation of the throwing control, a partial scene map of the game scene is displayed in the graphical user interface, providing a visual display for the throwing scene area of the throwable object.

[0052] Step S206: Respond to the damage range selection operation on the partial scene map. Based on the selected target damage range, determine the throwing position of the first throwable object in the game scene, control the first throwable object to move to the throwing position, so that the first throwable object releases a skill at the throwing position and generates skill damage within the target damage range.

[0053] The damage range is the damage area after the first throwable object lands. Among them, all or part of the area corresponding to the damage range is located inside the scene area corresponding to the partial scene map. Here, the damage range can be indicated by displaying a damage range identifier in the partial scene map. The damage range selection operation can be a click operation, a slide operation, etc. on the partial scene map. During the execution of the damage range selection operation, a range indication identifier can be displayed on the partial scene map to determine the damage range corresponding to the current operation. After the operation is released, the target damage range can be determined.

[0054] Exemplarily, a touch-operated throwing control can be used to perform a sliding operation starting from the throwing control, and the contact position of the sliding operation is controlled to enter the local scene graph. A damage range identifier is displayed at the contact position to indicate the damage range, and different damage ranges can be selected by changing the contact position. Further, after the target damage range is selected, the throwing position of the first projectile can be determined in the game scene according to the selected target damage range, and the first projectile is controlled to move to the throwing position so that the first projectile releases a skill at the throwing position and generates skill damage within the target damage range.

[0055] In this step, with the assistance of the local scene graph, the damage range of the projectile is accurately indicated, and then the throwing position of the projectile is determined, which improves the probability of the player hitting the target, avoids accidental injury or ineffective attacks, and enhances the player's gaming experience and optimizes the kill experience of the game.

[0056] The above method for controlling a virtual projectile provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device; the graphical user interface includes a first scene screen of the game scene, and the method includes: in response to a selection operation of the first projectile, displaying a throwing control of the first projectile in the graphical user interface; in response to a trigger operation of the throwing control, displaying a local scene graph of the game scene in the graphical user interface; wherein, the local scene graph includes: a scene graph corresponding to the throwable scene area of the first projectile; the throwable scene area is determined based on the position of the controlled virtual object in the game scene and / or the attributes of the first projectile; in response to a damage range selection operation acting on the local scene graph, based on the selected target damage range, determining the throwing position of the first projectile in the game scene, and controlling the first projectile to move to the throwing position so that the first projectile releases a skill at the throwing position and generates skill damage within the target damage range. In this way, when the throwing control is triggered, the local scene graph corresponding to the throwable area of the projectile is displayed, and the damage range is selected through the local scene graph. In this way, the player can select the damage range of the projectile through the local scene graph, so as to clearly define the damage range after the projectile is released, provide accurate guiding information for the player to throw weapons, improve the probability of the player hitting the target, avoid accidental injury or ineffective attacks, and enhance the player's gaming experience.

[0057] The following embodiments provide a specific implementation manner for displaying the throwing control of the first projectile.

[0058] The graphical user interface further includes a throwing identifier of an alternative projectile and a normal attack control; in response to a trigger operation of the throwing identifier of the first projectile among the alternative projectiles, the first projectile is selected; a throwing identifier of the first projectile is displayed on the normal attack control; wherein, the throwing identifier is used to indicate that the normal attack control serves as the throwing control of the first projectile.

[0059] The above-mentioned normal attack control is used to control the controlled virtual object to perform a normal attack on the enemy object. A normal attack identifier is usually displayed on the normal attack control. The above-mentioned projectile identifier is a projectile item control displayed in the graphical user interface, and a projectile identifier corresponding to the projectile is displayed on this type of control. The control containing the first projectile's projectile identifier can be selected from the optional projectile identifiers by clicking or dragging the corresponding projectile identifier. In response to the triggering operation of the first projectile's projectile identifier, the first projectile is selected, the projectile identifier of the first projectile is displayed on the normal attack control, and the normal attack control is used as the throwing control for the first projectile, and the first projectile is thrown by operating the normal attack control.

[0060] For example, after the player clicks the projectile identifier of the first projectile, the first projectile is selected. Then, the normal attack identifier on the normal attack control is replaced with the projectile identifier of the first projectile. In other ways, a throwing method identifier can also be displayed on the normal attack control. For example, the throwing methods can include high throw and low throw. By clicking the normal attack control, the throwing method for the first projectile can be switched.

[0061] In the above method, the first projectile is selected by triggering the projectile identifier, and at the same time, the projectile identifier of the first projectile is displayed on the normal attack control, determining the normal attack control as the throwing control for the first projectile, which is used to control the controlled virtual object to throw the first projectile.

[0062] The following embodiments provide specific implementation methods for displaying a partial scene map of the game scene.

[0063] In response to the triggering operation of the throwing control, determine the object position of the controlled virtual object in the game scene; based on the attributes of the first projectile, determine the throwable scene area of the first projectile with the object position as the center; wherein, the attributes of the first projectile at least include: the farthest throwing distance of the first projectile; display the partial scene map corresponding to the throwable scene area in the graphical user interface.

[0064] Here, the throwing control can be touched by long pressing, dragging, etc. In response to the triggering operation of the throwing control, determine the object position coordinates of the controlled virtual object in the game scene. Further, according to the attributes such as the nearest and farthest throwing distances of the first projectile, determine the throwable scene area of the first projectile with the object position as the center, and display the partial scene map corresponding to the throwable scene area in the graphical user interface.

[0065] In one way, an area map of the throwable scene area is displayed in the graphical user interface, and an object identifier of the controlled virtual object is displayed at the center position of the area map to prompt the player of their position in the current area map. The object identifier can be an object avatar or other symbols. Additionally, according to the game requirements, navigation information can also be displayed in this area map. For example, a navigation route from the current position to the center circle is displayed in the area map of the throwable scene area. In another way, a second scene image obtained by the virtual camera looking down on the throwable scene area is displayed in the graphical user interface, that is, a scene image where the virtual camera observes the throwable scene area of the throwable object from a top-down perspective. Since the controlled virtual object is located within the throwable scene area, the captured scene image includes the controlled virtual object at this time.

[0066] To improve the convenience of player operations, the local scene map can also be presented in the following way:

[0067] In response to the triggering operation of the throwing control, a pop-up window is provided at a specified position relative to the throwing control, and a local scene map of the game scene is displayed in the pop-up window; wherein, the pop-up window is displayed above the first scene image, and the distance between the pop-up window and the throwing control is less than a preset distance.

[0068] That is to say, after touching the throwing control by means such as long pressing or dragging, the display of the local scene map can be triggered. Specifically, a pop-up window is provided at a specified position relative to the throwing control, and a local scene map of the game scene is displayed in the pop-up window. The pop-up window is displayed above the first scene image where the current controlled virtual object is located, and the distance between the pop-up window and the throwing control is less than a preset distance. For example: After long pressing the normal attack control for 0.5 seconds, a pop-up window is displayed beside the normal attack control, and a local scene map of the game scene is displayed in the window.

[0069] As an example, after the throwing control is triggered, a pop-up window is displayed in the left area of the throwing control, and the pop-up window is adjacent to the throwing control. The shape of the pop-up window matches the shape of the local scene map, for example, circular.

[0070] The above method of displaying the local scene map of the game scene determines the object position of the controlled virtual object in the game scene, determines the throwable scene area of the first throwable object centered on the object position, and displays the corresponding local scene map of the throwable scene area in the form of a pop-up window above the first scene image. It cleverly presents the throwable scene area information to the player. At the same time, the player's position and the information of the local scene map displayed in the pop-up window are associated and displayed in real time, optimizing the game experience.

[0071] Furthermore, with the assistance of the local scene map, the damage range of the throwable object in the scene map is determined to provide precise guiding information for the player to throw weapons.

[0072] Specifically, in response to a sliding operation starting from the throwing control and the contact position of the sliding operation entering the local scene graph, a damage range identifier is displayed at the contact position; wherein, the damage range identifier is used to: indicate the damage range of the first projectile; in response to a sliding release operation acting within the local scene graph, determine the area indicated by the damage range identifier at the time of the sliding release operation as the target damage range; based on the target damage range, determine the throwing position of the first projectile in the game scene, and control the first projectile to move to the throwing position.

[0073] The above damage range identifier is used to indicate the damage range of the first projectile. Here, the player can perform a sliding operation starting from the throwing control by touching the throwing control, and the contact position of the sliding operation enters the local scene graph. A damage range identifier is displayed in real time at the contact position to indicate the damage range of the first projectile. When the sliding release operation is triggered, the area indicated by the damage range identifier is determined as the target damage range. The damage range identifier can be circular, and the area covered by the circle is the damage range; the damage range identifier can also be annular, and the area surrounded by the annulus is the damage range. In other ways, if the damage range of the first projectile has a specific shape, the damage range identifier is also displayed in a matching shape.

[0074] In a specific way, the throwing control has a preset display shape and display area. In response to a sliding operation starting from the throwing control, control the throwing control to move following the contact position of the sliding operation. When the contact position moves into the local scene graph, determine the throwing control as the damage range identifier. For example, Figure 3 as shown, drag the circular-ring-style throwing control with a finger, and the throwing control slides into the local scene graph following the contact position of the sliding operation. When the contact position moves into the local scene graph, determine the throwing control as the damage range identifier, and the area covered by the throwing control in the local scene graph is determined as the damage range area of the first projectile. The player can continue to slide the control to adjust the position of the damage range identifier. When the finger releases the contact, the area where the damage range identifier is located is determined as the target damage range.

[0075] In addition, if the area covered by the throwing control in the local scene graph is larger than the damage range of the first projectile, then after the throwing control enters the local scene graph, reduce the size of the throwing control so that the size of the throwing control matches the damage range of the first projectile; similarly, if the area covered by the throwing control in the local scene graph is smaller than the damage range of the first projectile, then after the throwing control enters the local scene graph, enlarge the size of the throwing control so that the size of the throwing control matches the damage range of the first projectile.

[0076] Further, according to the target damage range, determine the throwing position of the first projectile in the game scene, and control the first projectile to move to the throwing position. Specifically, determine the center position of the scene area corresponding to the target damage range in the game scene, and determine the center position as the throwing position of the first projectile; control the controlled virtual object to throw the first projectile to control the first projectile to move to the throwing position.

[0077] That is to say, after determining the target damage range, determine the center position of the scene area corresponding to the target damage range as the throwing position of the first projectile. The player controls the controlled virtual object to throw the first projectile through the terminal device and controls the first projectile to move to the throwing position.

[0078] In the above method, through the sliding operation starting from the throwing control, control the throwing control to select the damage range within the local scene map, determine the throwing position of the projectile according to the damage range, and complete the throwing operation. This operation ensures the accuracy of the attack range of the throwing weapon and greatly improves the player's killing experience and the timeliness of information feedback.

[0079] In other feasible implementation methods, in the first scene screen, in response to the sliding operation starting from the throwing control, display the throwing path identifier of the first projectile in the game scene; wherein, the starting point of the throwing path identifier is the position where the controlled virtual object is located, and the end point of the throwing path identifier is determined based on the contact position of the sliding operation.

[0080] That is to say, when the player performs a sliding operation starting from the throwing control, display the throwing path identifier of the first projectile in the game scene. The throwing path identifier is used to display the throwing path of the first projectile under the current operation. Therefore, the throwing path identifier is real-time associated with the damage range. The starting point of the throwing path identifier is the position where the controlled virtual object is located and is updated according to the virtual object position. The end point of the throwing path identifier is determined based on the contact position of the sliding operation during the selection process of the damage range. As Figure 3 shown, the throwing path identifier is a special effect curve, and the state of the special effect curve changes in real time following the contact position of the sliding operation within the local scene map.

[0081] Specifically, after the player performs a sliding operation starting from the throwing control, the graphical user interface displays the local scene map and also displays the throwing path identifier in the scene; when the sliding contact moves in the local scene map, the damage range identifier changes following the sliding contact, and at the same time, the throwing path identifier in the game scene also changes following the sliding contact. Thus, it is realized that the throwing control can select both the damage range and the throwing path at the same time.

[0082] It can be understood that the damage range and the throwing path are related. That is, after the damage range is determined, the throwing position is determined, and the throwing path from the controlled virtual object to the throwing position is also determined accordingly. Therefore, when the player operates the throwing control, the player can control the changes of both the damage range identifier and the throwing path identifier simultaneously.

[0083] In addition, during the process of triggering the above-mentioned sliding operation, the player can also control the movement of the controlled virtual object in the game scene through the movement control. Since the local scene graph is determined based on the position of the controlled virtual object, when the controlled virtual object moves, the local scene graph will change, and at the same time, the throwing path will also change.

[0084] Furthermore, in response to the sliding release operation within the local scene graph, the display of the local scene graph is cancelled. During the sliding operation, when the player's finger presses on the touch screen and then lifts off the touch screen, it can be considered that the above-mentioned sliding release operation is executed. At this time, when the sliding release operation is executed, it can be considered that the player has selected the damage range, and the local scene graph is no longer displayed in the graphical user interface.

[0085] In the above manner, the damage range adjusted based on the contact position of the sliding operation is displayed in real-time association with the throwing path identifier information shown in the game scene, optimizing the kill experience of the game.

[0086] In addition, the display of the local scene graph can be controlled by setting the fade-in and fade-out function of the window. In one case, after the sliding operation by the player within the local scene graph is released, the display of the local scene graph is cancelled.

[0087] In another case, in response to a long press operation on the throwing control, the local scene graph of the game scene is displayed in the graphical user interface; in response to a sliding operation starting from the throwing control, and when the sliding contact point of the sliding operation does not enter the local scene graph within a preset duration, the display of the local scene graph is cancelled.

[0088] That is to say, the local scene graph of the game scene can be displayed in the graphical user interface through a long press operation on the throwing control. When the sliding contact point of the sliding operation starting from the throwing control does not enter the local scene graph within a preset duration, it can be understood that the player does not want to select the damage range through the local scene graph and only needs to determine the throwing position through the throwing path identifier in the game scene. At this time, there is no need to display the local scene graph, so the display of the local scene graph is automatically cancelled.

[0089] The above method controls the display of the local scene graph by setting the fade-in and fade-out function of the window, improving the player's game experience.

[0090] In addition, when the throwing weapon enters the explosion countdown state, relevant prompts will also be displayed on the game interface. Specifically, in response to the triggering operation of the throwing control, a timing control is displayed in the graphical user interface; wherein, the timing control is used to indicate the time interval between the current time and the time when the first throwing object releases the skill.

[0091] As mentioned above Figure 3 As shown, when the throwing control is triggered, a timing control is displayed in the graphical user interface for prompting. Among them, the time interval between the current time and the time when the first throwing object releases the skill can be displayed by showing numbers in the timing control.

[0092] In one embodiment, taking the throwing weapon in a shooting game as an example, the throwing control process of the virtual throwing object is introduced in detail.

[0093] 1) The player selects a throwing object, and the selected throwing object identifier replaces the weapon icon on the normal attack button

[0094] 2) The player long-presses the normal attack button for 0.5 seconds to trigger a pop-up window. The position of the pop-up window is next to the normal attack button, and a top-down plan view of the weapon damage range centered on the player is displayed. Dragging the normal attack button into the pop-up window can select the damage range of the throwing object, and at the same time, a countdown UI (User Interface) control starts to be displayed. When the player selects the damage range in the game, the throwing path special effect curve in the game interface scene is updated in real time based on the position of the normal attack button.

[0095] 3) Release the normal attack button to complete the throwing object operation, and the pop-up window disappears.

[0096] This method uses the assistance of a top-down view for the throwing operation in a shooting game to help players accurately attack the target, reduce the game difficulty, increase the user audience, and optimize the game's killing experience.
