Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of game technology, and more specifically, to game control methods, game control devices, computer-readable storage media, and electronic devices. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of terminal devices and the gaming industry, a large number of games of different themes have emerged to meet the needs of players. In some shooting games, players can control virtual game objects to attack other virtual game objects with virtual weapons.

[0003] In this technology, players can control virtual game objects to perform peeking actions. For example, when a virtual game object is behind cover, a peeking control will be displayed in the graphical user interface. Players can click the peeking control to control the virtual game object to perform peeking actions, thereby obtaining a view outside the cover and understanding the location of enemy virtual game objects.

[0004] However, after peeking to locate the enemy virtual object, players still need to control their virtual object to step out of cover and fire at it. In current technology, this process of peeking and then stepping out of cover before attacking the enemy virtual object is cumbersome. Furthermore, if the enemy virtual object observes the peeking action, they can determine the virtual object's location, lie in wait for the peeking virtual object to emerge, and then fire, putting the virtual object in a disadvantageous tactical position and leading to defeat. Therefore, the peeking action has low tactical benefits and is used infrequently by players.

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

[0006] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide a method and apparatus for game control, a computer-readable storage medium and an electronic device, which can solve the problem of cumbersome operation of probe games in related technologies.

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

[0008] According to a first aspect of this disclosure, a method for controlling a game is provided, characterized in that a scene of a virtual game scene is displayed through a graphical user interface provided by a terminal device, as well as a virtual game object and virtual obstacles located in the virtual game scene. The virtual game object holds a virtual weapon and has a virtual object head. The method includes: during game execution, when the virtual game object is behind a virtual obstacle, in response to a first probe game operation on a first control, controlling the virtual game object to perform a probe game action, so that the virtual game object is in a probe game state; wherein, the probe game state is a state in which the virtual game object extends the virtual weapon out of the virtual obstacle according to the direction of the first probe game operation; while the virtual game object is in the probe game state, in response to a first probing game operation on a first control, controlling the virtual game object to perform a probing game action, so that the virtual game object is in a probing probe game state; wherein, the direction of the first probe game action is the same as the direction of the first probing game action, and the probing probe game state is a state in which the virtual game object extends the virtual weapon out of the virtual obstacle according to the direction of the first probe game operation, and also extends the virtual object head out of the virtual obstacle according to the direction of the first probing game operation.

[0009] According to a second aspect of this disclosure, a game control device is provided, characterized in that a scene of a virtual game scene is displayed through a graphical user interface provided by a terminal device, as well as virtual game objects and virtual obstacles located in the virtual game scene. The virtual game objects hold virtual weapons and have virtual object heads. The device includes: a gun-probing action execution module, used to, during the game, when the virtual game object is behind a virtual obstacle, respond to a first gun-probing game operation on a first control to control the virtual game object to perform a gun-probing game action, so that the virtual game object is in a gun-probing game state; wherein, the gun-probing game state is a game... The virtual object extends its virtual weapon out of the virtual obstacle according to the direction of the first probe game operation; the probe action execution module is used to control the virtual object to perform a probe game action in response to the first probe game operation on the first control when the virtual object is in the probe game state, so that the virtual object is in the probe game state; wherein, the direction of the first probe game action is the same as the direction of the first probe game action, and the probe game state is the state in which the virtual object extends its virtual weapon out of the virtual obstacle according to the direction of the first probe game operation, and also extends its head out of the virtual obstacle according to the direction of the first probe game operation.

[0010] According to a third aspect of this disclosure, a computer-readable storage medium is provided having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the game control method of the first aspect described above.

[0011] According to a fourth aspect of this disclosure, an electronic device is provided, comprising:

[0012] One or more processors; and

[0013] A memory for storing one or more programs, which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to implement the game control method as described in the first aspect of the above embodiments.

[0014] The technical solutions provided in this disclosure may have the following beneficial effects:

[0015] In one embodiment of the game control method disclosed herein, during game operation, when a virtual game object is behind a virtual obstacle, in response to a first "probe" game operation on a first control, the virtual game object is controlled to perform a "probe" game action, thus placing the virtual game object in a "probe" game state. While in the "probe" game state, in response to a first "peek" game operation on the first control, the virtual game object is controlled to perform a "peek" game action, thus placing the virtual game object in a "peek and probe" game state. On one hand, the simultaneous execution of the "peek" and "probe" game actions allows for shooting enemy virtual game objects with minimal exposure of the virtual game object's body, increasing the operational ceiling. On the other hand, after observing an enemy virtual game object through the "peek" game action, an attack can be launched directly without needing to emerge from behind cover, reducing risk, simplifying operation steps, and preventing the virtual game object from being placed in a disadvantageous position. Furthermore, performing the "probe" game action first, followed by the "peek" game action, allows for observation of the enemy virtual game object's position through the "peek" game action, improving the hit rate of the "probe" game action and increasing operational benefits.

[0026] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided to make this disclosure more comprehensive and complete, and to fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. Furthermore, the described features, structures, or characteristics can 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 embodiments of this disclosure. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that the technical solutions of this disclosure can be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or other methods, components, apparatuses, steps, etc., can be employed. In other instances, well-known structures, methods, apparatuses, implementations, materials, or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring various aspects of this disclosure.

[0027] The block diagrams shown in the accompanying drawings are merely functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically independent entities. That is, these functional entities can be implemented in software, or in one or more software-hardened modules, or in different network and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0028] With the development of terminal devices and the gaming industry, a large number of games of different themes have emerged to meet the needs of players. In some shooting games, players can control virtual game objects to attack other virtual game objects with virtual weapons.

[0029] In this technology, players can control virtual game objects to perform peeking actions. For example, when a virtual game object is behind cover, a peeking control will be displayed in the graphical user interface. Players can click the peeking control to control the virtual game object to perform peeking actions, thereby obtaining a view outside the cover and understanding the location of enemy virtual game objects.

[0030] However, after peeking to locate the enemy virtual object, players still need to control their virtual object to step out of cover and fire at it. In current technology, this process of peeking and then stepping out of cover before attacking the enemy virtual object is cumbersome. Furthermore, if the enemy virtual object observes the peeking action, they can determine the virtual object's location, lie in wait for the peeking virtual object to emerge, and then fire, putting the virtual object in a disadvantageous tactical position and leading to defeat. Therefore, the peeking action has low tactical benefits and is used infrequently by players.

[0031] In one example embodiment of this disclosure, during gameplay, when a virtual game object is behind a virtual obstacle, in response to a first "probe" game operation on a first control, the virtual game object is controlled to perform a "probe" game action, thus placing the virtual game object in a "probe" game state. The "probe" game state is characterized by the virtual game object extending a virtual weapon beyond the virtual obstacle according to the direction of the first "probe" game operation. While the virtual game object is in the "probe" game state, in response to a first "peek" game operation on the first control, the virtual game object is controlled to perform a "peek" game action, thus placing the virtual game object in a "peek" and "probe" game state. The direction of the first "probe" game action is the same as the direction of the first "peek" game action. The "peek" and "probe" game state is characterized by the virtual game object extending a virtual weapon beyond the virtual obstacle according to the direction of the first "probe" game operation, and also extending the virtual object's head beyond the virtual obstacle according to the direction of the first "peek" game operation. (See reference...) Figure 1The diagram illustrates a flowchart of a game control method in this exemplary embodiment, which may include the following steps:

[0032] Step S110: During the game, when the game virtual object is behind a virtual obstacle, in response to the first gun-probing game operation on the first control, the game virtual object is controlled to perform a gun-probing game action so that the game virtual object is in a gun-probing game state; wherein, the gun-probing game state is the state in which the game virtual object extends the virtual gun out of the virtual obstacle according to the direction of the first gun-probing game operation.

[0033] Step S120: When the game virtual object is in the gun-probing game state, in response to the first probing game operation for the first control, control the game virtual object to perform a probing game action so that the game virtual object is in the gun-probing game state; wherein, the direction of the first gun-probing game action is the same as the direction of the first probing game action, and the gun-probing game state is the state in which the game virtual object extends the virtual gun out of the virtual obstacle according to the direction of the first gun-probing game operation, and extends the virtual object's head out of the virtual obstacle according to the direction of the first probing game operation.

[0034] In one embodiment of the game control method disclosed herein, during game operation, when a virtual game object is behind a virtual obstacle, in response to a first "probe" game operation on a first control, the virtual game object is controlled to perform a "probe" game action, thus placing the virtual game object in a "probe" game state. While in the "probe" game state, in response to a first "peek" game operation on the first control, the virtual game object is controlled to perform a "peek" game action, thus placing the virtual game object in a "peek and probe" game state. On one hand, the simultaneous execution of the "peek" and "probe" game actions allows for shooting enemy virtual game objects with minimal exposure of the virtual game object's body, increasing the operational ceiling. On the other hand, after observing an enemy virtual game object through the "peek" game action, an attack can be launched directly without needing to emerge from behind cover, reducing risk, simplifying operation steps, and preventing the virtual game object from being placed in a disadvantageous position. Furthermore, performing the "probe" game action first, followed by the "peek" game action, allows for observation of the enemy virtual game object's position through the "peek" game action, improving the hit rate of the "probe" game action and increasing operational benefits.

[0035] In one embodiment of the game control method disclosed herein, the method can run on a local terminal device or a server. When the game control method runs on a server, it can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interaction system, wherein the cloud interaction system includes a server and a client device.

[0036] In an optional implementation, various cloud applications, such as cloud gaming, can run under the cloud interaction system. Taking cloud gaming as an example, cloud gaming refers to a gaming method based on cloud computing. In the cloud gaming operating mode, the game program and the game screen presentation are separated. The storage and execution of game control methods are completed on the cloud gaming server. The client device is used for data reception, transmission, and game screen presentation. For example, the client device can be a display device with data transmission capabilities located close to the user, such as a mobile terminal, television, computer, or PDA; however, the information processing is performed by the cloud gaming server in the cloud. When playing the game, the player operates the client device to send operation commands to the cloud gaming server. The cloud gaming server runs the game according to the operation commands, encodes and compresses the game screen and other data, returns it to the client device via the network, and finally, the client device decodes and outputs the game screen.

[0037] In an optional implementation, taking a game as an example, the local terminal device stores the game program and is used to display the game screen. The local terminal device is used to interact with the player through a graphical user interface (GUI), i.e., conventionally by downloading, installing, and running the game program via an electronic device. The local terminal device can provide the GUI to the player in various ways, such as rendering it on the terminal's display screen or providing it to the player via holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device can include a display screen for displaying the GUI, which includes game screens, and a processor for running the game, generating the GUI, and controlling the display of the GUI on the display screen.

[0038] In one example embodiment of this disclosure, the solution provides a graphical user interface (GUI) through the display component of a terminal device. The GUI can display game virtual objects and can be fully or partially displayed on the terminal device's display component. Specifically, the game can include various types of games, such as TPS (Third-Person Shooter), FPS (First-Person Shooter), RPG (Role-Playing Game), ACT (Action Game), SLG (Strategy Game), FTG (Fighting Game), SPG (Sports Game), RCG (Racing Game), AVG (Adventure Game), etc. Any game scenario involving on-site maintenance can apply the game action execution solution of this disclosure. It should be noted that this disclosure does not specifically limit the type of game virtual objects.

[0039] Below, we will combine Figure 1 The steps S110 to S120 of the game control method in this exemplary embodiment will be described in more detail below.

[0040] Step S110: During the game, when the game virtual object is behind a virtual obstacle, in response to the first probe game operation for the first control, control the game virtual object to perform the probe game action so that the game virtual object is in the probe game state.

[0041] In one example embodiment of this disclosure, the solution can be implemented during gameplay. Specifically, "during gameplay" refers to the state after the game application starts, where the player enters a game match, game competition, game storyline, or similar state. For example, in a shooting game, players can match with other players in the game lobby and compete. After a successful match, multiple player-controlled virtual game objects enter the game scene, and the players control their respective virtual game objects to fight. This state is considered "during gameplay."

[0042] It should be noted that this disclosure does not impose any special restrictions on the specific form of the game process.

[0043] In one exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, during gameplay, when a virtual game object is behind a virtual obstacle, in response to a first "spotting" game operation, the virtual game object is controlled to perform a "spotting" game action, thus placing the virtual game object in a "spotting" game state. Specifically, the virtual game scene may include multiple virtual obstacles. These virtual obstacles are virtual units within the virtual game scene. For example, virtual obstacles may be virtual trees, virtual rocks, virtual rooms, etc., within the virtual game scene.

[0044] It should be noted that this disclosure does not specifically limit the types of virtual obstacles in virtual game scenes.

[0045] After the virtual game object is positioned behind a virtual obstacle, it can respond to a first probing game operation targeting the first control, controlling the virtual game object to perform a probing game action, thus placing the virtual game object in a probing game state. The probing game state is the state in which the virtual game object extends its virtual weapon beyond the virtual obstacle according to the direction of the first probing game operation. Specifically, the first probing game operation targeting the first control is used to control the virtual game object to perform a probing game action. Upon receiving the first probing game operation targeting the first control, the virtual game object can be controlled to perform the probing game action, thus placing the virtual game object in a probing game state.

[0046] Specifically, the gun-finding game action is the action of the game virtual object moving the virtual gun according to the direction of the first gun-finding game operation on the first control. When the game virtual object moves the virtual gun, the body posture of the game virtual object remains still, or the body posture of the game virtual object changes only by a preset range when the game virtual object moves the virtual gun.

[0047] For example, under normal circumstances, when the virtual object in the game is holding a gun, the virtual gun is located in front of the virtual object. In response to the first gun-finding game operation for the first control, after controlling the virtual object to perform the gun-finding game action, the virtual object can move the virtual gun to the left. During this process, only the arm of the virtual object moves, and it remains stable after the arm reaches the maximum position that the arm can extend. That is, at this time, the virtual object is in the gun-finding game state.

[0048] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown in Figure a, during the game, the game virtual object is in a normal state; in response to the first probe game operation on the first control, the game virtual object is controlled to perform the probe game action, as shown in Figure b, the game virtual object is in the probe game state.

[0049] It should be noted that this disclosure does not impose any special limitations on the specific form of the gun-detecting game actions or the specific form of the gun-detecting game states.

[0050] In one exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the first probe game operation targeting the first control can be an operation targeting a physical control. For example, pressing the "up stick" button on a game controller can control a virtual game object to perform a probe game action; alternatively, the first probe game operation can be an operation targeting a virtual control. For example, if a probe control is provided in the graphical user interface, the first probe game operation targeting the probe control can control the virtual game object to perform a probe game action; furthermore, the first probe game operation targeting any location in the graphical user interface can control the virtual game object to perform a probe game action.

[0051] In one example embodiment of this disclosure, a virtual gun can extend beyond a virtual obstacle according to the direction of the gun-finding game operation. For example, the virtual obstacle is a virtual tree. When the game's virtual object is behind a virtual tree, and a first gun-finding game operation is received for the first control, the game's virtual object can be controlled to perform a gun-finding game action. For instance, if the direction of the first gun-finding game operation is to the left, the game's virtual object can be controlled to perform a gun-finding game action to the left.

[0052] Furthermore, only when the game virtual object is positioned behind a virtual obstacle can it receive the first probe game operation for the first control and control the game virtual object to perform the probe game action.

[0053] Step S120: When the game virtual object is in the probe game state, in response to the first probe game operation for the first control, control the game virtual object to perform the probe game action so that the game virtual object is in the probe and probe game state.

[0054] In one exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, after controlling the game virtual object to be in the probe game state through the above steps, the game virtual object can be controlled to perform a probe game action in response to a first probe game operation on the first control, so that the game virtual object is in the probe and probe game state. Specifically, the first probe game operation on the first control is used to control the game virtual object to perform a probe game action. When the game virtual object is in the probe game state, the first probe game operation on the first control can be received to control the game virtual object to perform a probe game action, so that the game virtual object is in the probe and probe game state.

[0055] Specifically, the probe game action is the action of the virtual game object moving its head according to the direction of the first probe game operation on the first control. When moving the head of the virtual game object, the body posture of the virtual game object remains still, or when moving the head of the virtual game object, the body posture of the virtual game object changes only by a preset range.

[0056] For example, the "probe" action in the game is the action of a virtual object tilting its head to one side.

[0057] For example, when the virtual object in the game is standing, the field of view rises slightly when the player performs the peek-up action, and the virtual object is in a tiptoeing state; when the virtual object is crouching, the field of view rises significantly when the player performs the peek-up action, and the virtual object is in a semi-crouching state.

[0058] It should be noted that this disclosure does not impose any special restrictions on the specific form of the peek-in game action.

[0059] In one example embodiment of this disclosure, when the game virtual object is in a "probe gun" game state, and after controlling the game virtual object to perform a "probe" game action, the game virtual object will be in a "probe gun" game state. The direction of the first "probe gun" game action is the same as the direction of the first "probe" game action. The "probe gun" game state is a state in which the game virtual object extends a virtual gun out of a virtual obstacle according to the direction of the first "probe gun" game action, and also extends the virtual object's head out of the virtual obstacle according to the direction of the first "probe" game action.

[0060] Furthermore, the operation direction of the first probe game operation for the first control is the same as the operation direction of the first probe game operation for the first control.

[0061] In the "peek and shoot" game mode, the virtual game object gains a wider field of view, making it easier to observe enemy virtual game objects. Since it can also shoot, it can fire at enemy virtual game objects. In this "peek and shoot" game mode, the exposed part outside the cover can be minimized, reducing game risks and increasing the hit rate against enemy virtual game objects.

[0062] In one exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the first probe game operation targeting the first control can be an operation targeting a physical control. For example, pressing the "down stick" button on a game controller can control a virtual game object to perform a probe game action; alternatively, the first probe game operation can be an operation targeting a virtual control. For example, if a probe control is provided in the graphical user interface, the first probe game operation targeting the probe control can control a virtual game object to perform a probe gun game action; furthermore, the first probe game operation targeting any location in the graphical user interface can control a virtual game object to perform a probe game action.

[0063] It should be noted that this disclosure does not impose any special limitations on the specific method or form of controlling the virtual game object to perform the "peeping" game action so that the virtual game object is in the "peeping and gunning" game state.

[0064] In one exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, a first operation on the shoulder buttons of a game controller can be performed to control a virtual game object into a forward aiming state. During the duration of the first operation, a second operation on the directional buttons of the game controller can be performed to control the virtual game object to perform a gun-hunting action according to the first target direction corresponding to the second operation. (See also...) Figure 3 As shown, responding to a second operation on the directional keys of the game controller, and controlling the game virtual object to perform a gun-hunting game action according to the first target direction corresponding to the second operation, may include the following steps S310 to S320:

[0065] Step S310: Respond to the first operation on the shoulder button of the game controller and control the game virtual object to enter the positive aiming state;

[0066] In one example embodiment of this disclosure, a game virtual object can be controlled to enter a forward aiming state in response to a first operation on the shoulder buttons of a game controller. Specifically, the terminal device is communicatively connected to the game controller, which has shoulder buttons and directional keys (including directional control forms such as a directional wheel). A first operation on the shoulder buttons of the game controller can be used to control the game virtual object to enter a forward aiming state. The first control includes shoulder buttons and directional keys, and the first gun-hunting game operation includes a first operation and a second operation. When the game virtual object enters the forward aiming state, it can perform an aiming action; or, even when not in the forward aiming state, the game virtual object can perform an aiming action, and after entering the forward aiming state, it can perform a more precise aiming action. In this embodiment, the solution of this disclosure can only be achieved by first controlling the game virtual object to enter the forward aiming state.

[0067] For example, virtual objects in a game can perform aiming actions through the scope on a virtual firearm.

[0068] In step S320, during the duration of the first operation, in response to a second operation on the directional keys of the game controller, the game virtual object is controlled to perform a probe game action according to the first target direction corresponding to the second operation.

[0069] In one example embodiment of this disclosure, during the duration of the first operation, the game virtual object is in a positive aiming state. At this time, a second operation can be received for the directional keys of the game controller. The game virtual object is controlled to perform a gun-finding game action according to the first target direction corresponding to the second operation, so that the game virtual object is in a gun-finding game state.

[0070] Furthermore, the first operation is a long press operation, and the solution disclosed herein is implemented only during the duration of the first operation. Specifically, after receiving the first operation, a second operation targeting the directional keys of the game controller can be responded to, and the game virtual object can be controlled to perform a gun-hunting game action according to the first target direction corresponding to the second operation, so that the game virtual object is in a gun-hunting game state.

[0071] Furthermore, after the first operation is completed, the game virtual object automatically restores to the game state it was in before receiving the first operation.

[0072] For example, when the game virtual object is in a forward aiming state and is standing, in response to the second operation of pressing the down arrow key, the game virtual object can perform a crouching action and control the game virtual object to perform a downward gun-probing action. After the first operation is completed, the game virtual object will no longer perform the gun-probing action and will exit the forward aiming state.

[0073] It should be noted that this disclosure does not specifically limit the way in which the virtual object of the game performs the probe gun game action in response to the second operation on the directional keys of the game controller during the duration of the first operation, according to the first target direction corresponding to the second operation.

[0074] Through the above steps S310 to S320, a first operation on the shoulder button of the game controller can be responded to, and the game virtual object can be controlled to enter the positive aiming state. During the duration of the first operation, a second operation on the directional button of the game controller can be responded to, and the game virtual object can be controlled to perform the gun-finding game action according to the first target direction corresponding to the second operation.

[0075] In one exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, during the duration of the first operation, in response to a third operation on the directional keys of the game controller, the game virtual object is controlled to perform a peeking game action towards a first target direction. The third operation corresponds to the first target direction. Specifically, after the game virtual object performs a peeking game action based on the first operation on the shoulder buttons of the game controller and the second operation on the directional keys of the game controller, it can receive a third operation on the directional keys of the game controller during the duration of the first operation, controlling the game virtual object to perform a peeking game action towards the first target direction, thus placing the game virtual object in a peeking game state. Specifically, the third operation is the first peeking game operation.

[0076] For example, in response to a first operation on the left shoulder button of a game controller, the game virtual object is controlled to enter a forward aiming state. During the duration of the first operation, a second operation on the game controller's directional buttons can be received, such as pressing the up directional button, controlling the game virtual object to perform a gun-peeking action upwards. Then, during the duration of the first operation, a third operation on the game controller's directional buttons can be received, such as pressing the up directional button, controlling the game virtual object to perform a peeking action towards the first target. That is, the direction of the second operation is the same as the direction of the third operation.

[0077] In one example embodiment of this disclosure, the probe game action can be terminated in response to the end of the third operation, causing the game virtual object to switch from the probe / gun-hunting game state to the gun-hunting game state. Specifically, after the third operation ends, the probe game action is stopped, at which point the game can switch from the probe / gun-hunting game state to the gun-hunting game state.

[0078] In one example embodiment of this disclosure, in response to the end of the first operation, the current state of the game virtual object—the "sniper" game or the "peek-sniper" game—ends. Specifically, when the first operation ends, i.e., when the first operation on the shoulder button of the game controller stops, the game virtual object stops performing the "sniper" game action and / or the "peek-sniper" game action, thus ending the current "sniper" game action or the "peek-sniper" game action of the game virtual object.

[0079] In one exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, during the duration of the first operation, a fourth operation targeting the directional keys of a game controller can be initiated to restore the game's virtual object to a positive aiming state. The fourth operation corresponds to a second target direction, which is opposite to the first target direction.

[0080] After controlling the game virtual object to perform the gun-shooting game action according to the first target direction corresponding to the second operation through the above steps, the game virtual object can be controlled to return from the gun-shooting game state to the positive aiming state through the fourth operation of the directional keys of the game controller.

[0081] For example, the first target direction corresponding to the first operation is upward, and the second target direction corresponding to the fourth operation is downward. At this time, the direction of the second target is opposite to the direction of the first target (the direction of the fourth operation is the opposite of the direction of the first operation). At this time, the game virtual object can be controlled to exit the gun-hunting game state and return to the positive direction aiming state.

[0082] In one example embodiment of this disclosure, during the duration of the first operation, a fifth operation targeting the directional keys of the game controller can be initiated, and the game virtual object can be controlled to perform a gun-hunting game action according to the third target direction corresponding to the fifth operation. The third target direction is different from the first target direction, and the third target direction is not opposite to the first target direction. Specifically, after controlling the game virtual object to perform a gun-hunting game action according to the first operation targeting the shoulder buttons of the game controller and the second operation targeting the directional keys of the game controller through the above steps, while the first operation is still ongoing, a fifth operation targeting the directional keys of the game controller can be received, and the game virtual object can be controlled to perform a gun-hunting game action according to the third target direction corresponding to the fifth operation. The third target direction is different from the first target direction, and the third target direction is not opposite to the first target direction.

[0083] Specifically, the third target direction is different from the first target direction, and the third target direction is not opposite to the first target direction. For example, if the first target direction corresponding to the second operation is upward, the game virtual object is controlled to perform a gun-probing game action upward according to the first target direction corresponding to the second operation. The game virtual object is in the upward gun-probing state. If the third target direction corresponding to the fifth operation is left, then the third target direction is different from the first target direction and is not opposite to the first target direction (i.e., the third target direction and the first target direction are different and not opposite). The game virtual object is controlled to perform a gun-probing game action to the left according to the third target direction corresponding to the fifth operation, so that the game virtual object is in the left gun-probing state, that is, the game virtual object is controlled to switch from the upward gun-probing state to the left gun-probing state.

[0084] In one example embodiment of this disclosure, in response to a first probing game operation on a first control, when the direction of the first probing game operation is upward, the game virtual object can be controlled to crouch down by a preset amount. Specifically, when the direction of the first probing game operation on the first control is upward, the game virtual object can be controlled to crouch down by a preset amount while simultaneously performing the probing game action upward. Through the embodiments of this disclosure, the position of the game virtual object can be lowered when probing upward, avoiding game failure.

[0085] In one exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, when the direction of the first probing game operation is upward and the game virtual object is in a crouching preset position, in response to a second probing game operation on the first control, the game virtual object can be controlled to exit the probing game state and return to a standing state. Specifically, the second probing game operation on the first control is used to control the game virtual object to exit the probing game state. At this time, the game virtual object can be controlled to exit the probing game state and return to a standing state from a crouching preset position. Through the embodiments of this disclosure, the game virtual object can be controlled to return to a standing state when exiting the probing game state, thus ensuring the mobility of the game virtual object after exiting the probing game action.

[0086] The solution disclosed herein addresses the issue of insufficient controls on game controllers. By implementing gun-peeping and peeking actions using the same controls, it enables the same controls to perform gun-peeping and peeking actions, allowing virtual game objects to enter gun-peeping or peek-gun-peeping states. This supports multiple game operations even with a limited number of buttons on the game controller, enhancing gameplay and raising the player's skill ceiling. For example, in some console-style shooting games, players need to perform actions such as movement, camera rotation, and shooting. In these cases, the number of buttons on a game controller is insufficient, preventing the support of multiple game actions (peeking and gun-peeping actions) in console games. However, this solution allows for the simultaneous support of both peeking and gun-peeping actions even with a limited number of game controller buttons.

[0087] In one exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, a first operation on the shoulder buttons of a game controller can be performed to control a virtual game object into a forward aiming state. During the duration of the first operation, a second operation on the directional buttons of the game controller can be performed to control the virtual game object to perform a probing game action according to the first target direction corresponding to the second operation. (See also...) Figure 4 As shown, responding to a second operation on the directional keys of a game controller, and controlling the game virtual object to perform a probe game action according to the first target direction corresponding to the second operation, may include the following steps S410 to S420:

[0088] Step S410: Respond to the first operation on the shoulder button of the game controller and control the game virtual object to enter the positive aiming state;

[0089] In one example embodiment of this disclosure, a game virtual object can be controlled to enter a forward aiming state in response to a first operation on the shoulder buttons of a game controller. Specifically, the terminal device is communicatively connected to the game controller, which has shoulder buttons and directional keys (including directional control forms such as a directional wheel). A first operation on the shoulder buttons of the game controller can be used to control the game virtual object to enter a forward aiming state. The first control includes shoulder buttons and directional keys, and the first gun-hunting game operation includes a first operation and a second operation. When the game virtual object enters the forward aiming state, it can perform an aiming action; or, even when not in the forward aiming state, the game virtual object can perform an aiming action, and after entering the forward aiming state, it can perform a more precise aiming action. In this embodiment, the solution of this disclosure can only be achieved by first controlling the game virtual object to enter the forward aiming state.

[0090] For example, virtual objects in a game can perform aiming actions through the scope on a virtual firearm.

[0091] In step S420, during the duration of the first operation, in response to a second operation on the directional keys of the game controller, the game virtual object is controlled to perform a probe game action according to the first target direction corresponding to the second operation.

[0092] In one example embodiment of this disclosure, when the virtual game object is in a probe game action and is in a positive aiming state, it can respond to a second operation on the directional keys of the game controller, and control the virtual game object to perform a probe game action according to the first target direction corresponding to the second operation, so that the virtual game object is in a probe game state.

[0093] Furthermore, the first operation is a long press operation, and the solution disclosed herein is implemented only during the duration of the first operation. Specifically, after receiving the first operation, a second operation targeting the directional keys of the game controller can be responded to, and the game virtual object can be controlled to perform a peeking game action according to the first target direction corresponding to the second operation, so that the game virtual object is in a peeking and gun-hunting game state.

[0094] Furthermore, after the first operation is completed, the game virtual object automatically restores to the game state it was in before receiving the first operation.

[0095] For example, when the virtual object in the game is in the "peek-and-shoot" game state, it can respond to the second operation of pressing the down arrow key to control the virtual object to perform a downward peeking game action, so that the virtual object is in the peeking and shooting game state. After the first operation is completed, the virtual object no longer performs the peeking and shooting game actions and exits the forward aiming state.

[0096] It should be noted that this disclosure does not specifically limit the way in which, during the duration of the first operation, a second operation is performed on the directional keys of the game controller, and the virtual game object is controlled to perform a probe game action according to the first target direction corresponding to the second operation.

[0097] Through the above steps S410 to S420, a first operation on the shoulder button of the game controller can be responded to, and the game virtual object can be controlled to enter the positive directional aiming state. During the duration of the first operation, a second operation on the directional button of the game controller can be responded to, and the game virtual object can be controlled to perform a probe game action according to the first target direction corresponding to the second operation.

[0098] In one example embodiment of this disclosure, during the duration of the first operation, in response to a third operation on the directional keys of a game controller, the game virtual object is controlled to return to a positive aiming state. The third operation corresponds to a second target direction, which is opposite to the first target direction.

[0099] After the game virtual object performs the peek game action according to the first target direction corresponding to the second operation through the above steps, the game virtual object is in the peek and shoot game state. The game virtual object can be controlled to return to the positive aiming state by the third operation of the direction keys of the game controller.

[0100] For example, the first target direction corresponding to the first operation is upward, and the second target direction corresponding to the third operation is downward. At this time, the direction of the second target is opposite to the direction of the first target (the direction of the third operation is the opposite direction of the direction of the first operation). At this time, the game virtual object can be controlled to exit the peek and shoot game state and return to the positive direction aiming state.

[0101] In one example embodiment of this disclosure, during the duration of the first operation, in response to a fourth operation on the directional keys of the game controller, the game virtual object is controlled to perform a peeking game action according to the third target direction corresponding to the fourth operation. The third target direction is different from the first target direction, and the third target direction is not opposite to the first target direction. Specifically, after controlling the game virtual object to perform a peeking game action according to the first operation on the shoulder buttons of the game controller and the second operation on the directional keys of the game controller through the above steps, the game virtual object is in a peeking / sniping game state. While the first operation is still ongoing, it can receive a fourth operation on the directional keys of the game controller, and control the game virtual object to perform a snooping game action according to the third target direction corresponding to the fourth operation. The third target direction is different from the first target direction, and the third target direction is not opposite to the first target direction.

[0102] Specifically, the third target direction is different from the first target direction, and the third target direction is not opposite to the first target direction. For example, if the first target direction corresponding to the second operation is upward, the game virtual object is controlled to perform a peeking action upward according to the first target direction corresponding to the second operation. The game virtual object is in a state of peeking and looking upward. If the third target direction corresponding to the fourth operation is left, the third target direction is different from the first target direction and is not opposite to the first target direction (i.e., the third target direction is different from the first target direction and is not opposite). The game virtual object is controlled to perform a peeking action to the left according to the third target direction corresponding to the fourth operation, so that the game virtual object is in a state of peeking and looking left. That is, the game virtual object is controlled to switch from the state of peeking and looking upward to the state of peeking and looking left.

[0103] In one example embodiment of this disclosure, in response to the end of the first operation, the current state of the game virtual object—the "sniper" game or the "peek-sniper" game—ends. Specifically, when the first operation ends, i.e., when the first operation on the shoulder button of the game controller stops, the game virtual object stops performing the "sniper" game action and / or the "peek-sniper" game action, thus ending the current "sniper" game action or the "peek-sniper" game action of the game virtual object.

[0104] In one exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, during the duration of the first operation, in response to a fifth operation on the directional keys of the game controller, the game virtual object is controlled to switch from a peek / snap game state to a snap game state. The fifth operation corresponds to a fourth target direction, which is opposite to the first target direction.

[0105] After the game virtual object performs the peek game action according to the first target direction corresponding to the second operation through the above steps, the game virtual object is in the peek and gun-sniffing game state. The game virtual object can be switched from the peek and gun-sniffing game state to the gun-sniffing game state by the fifth operation of the directional keys of the game controller.

[0106] For example, the first target direction corresponding to the first operation is upward, and the fourth target direction corresponding to the fifth operation is downward. At this time, the fourth target direction is opposite to the first target direction (the direction of the fourth operation is the opposite direction of the first operation). At this time, the game virtual object can be controlled to switch from the peek and shoot game state to the shoot game state.

[0107] It should be noted that this disclosure does not impose any special restrictions on the specific method of controlling the virtual objects in the game to switch from the peek / shoot game state to the shooter game state.

[0108] In one example embodiment of this disclosure, in response to a first probing game operation on a first control, when the direction of the first probing game operation is upward, the game virtual object can be controlled to crouch down by a preset distance. When the direction of the first probing game operation is upward, the game virtual object can be controlled to crouch down by a preset distance while simultaneously performing the probing game action and the gun-shooting game action upward. Through the embodiments of this disclosure, the position of the game virtual object can be lowered when probing upward, avoiding game failure.

[0109] In one example embodiment of this disclosure, in response to a second probe game operation on the first control, the game virtual object can be controlled to exit the probe / gun-hunting game state and return to a standing state. Specifically, the second probe game operation on the first control is used to control the game virtual object to exit the probe / gun-hunting game state. This can be achieved by controlling the game virtual object to exit the probe / gun-hunting game action and switching it from a crouching preset position to a standing position. Through this embodiment, when controlling the exit from the probe / gun-hunting game state, the game virtual object can be controlled to return to a standing position, ensuring the game virtual object's mobility after exiting the probe / gun-hunting game action.

[0110] In one example embodiment of this disclosure, the first probe game operation is a single click operation, and the first probe gun game operation is a long press operation.

[0111] For example, the gaming device is a console, the game controller is a gamepad, the first probe game operation is a single press of the "up" button on the gamepad, and the first probe game operation is a long press of the "up" button on the gamepad.

[0112] In one example embodiment of this disclosure, in response to a first probe game operation on a first control, a virtual game object can be controlled to perform a probe game action. During the duration of the first probe game operation, the virtual game object is controlled to maintain a probe / gun-detecting game state. After the first probe game operation ends, the virtual game object is controlled to switch from the probe / gun-detecting game state to the gun-detecting game state. (Refer to...) Figure 5 As shown, after the first probe game operation ends, controlling the virtual game object to switch from the probe / gun-detecting game state to the gun-detecting game state may include the following steps S510 to S530:

[0113] Step S510: In response to the first probe game operation for the first control, control the game virtual object to perform the probe game action;

[0114] Step S520: During the duration of the first probe game operation, control the game virtual object to maintain the probe gun game state;

[0115] Step S530: After the first probe game operation ends, control the virtual game object to switch from the probe / gun game state to the gun game state.

[0116] In one example embodiment of this disclosure, a first probe game operation can be received, the game virtual object can be controlled to perform a probe game action, and the game virtual object can be controlled to maintain the probe and gun game state according to the continuity of the first probe game operation, or the game virtual object can be controlled to switch from the probe and gun game state to the gun game state.

[0117] Specifically, during the duration of the first probing game operation, the game virtual object is controlled to maintain the probing and gun-detecting game state. After the first probing game operation ends, the game virtual object is controlled to switch from the probing and gun-detecting game state to the gun-detecting game state. That is, the game virtual object is only maintained in the probing and gun-detecting game state during the duration of the first probing game operation; if the first probing game operation ends, only the game virtual object is maintained in the gun-detecting game state.

[0118] For example, the gaming device is a game console, and the game controller is a gamepad. When the virtual game object is in the "peek" game state, it can receive the press of the "X" button on the gamepad. After receiving the press of the "X" button, it can control the virtual game object to perform the peeking game action, so that the virtual game object is in the peeking and gun-peeking game state. During the duration of the press, the virtual game object maintains the peeking and gun-peeking game state. After the press ends, it controls the virtual game object to switch from the peeking and gun-peeking game state to the gun-peeking game state, that is, the virtual game object no longer peeks, but only peeks.

[0119] It should be noted that this disclosure does not impose any special limitations on the specific methods for controlling the virtual game object to maintain the "peek and shoot" game state or the specific methods for controlling the virtual game object to switch from the "peek and shoot" game state to the "shoot" game state.

[0120] Through the above steps S510 to S530, in response to the first probe game operation for the first control, the game virtual object can be controlled to perform the probe game action. During the duration of the first probe game operation, the game virtual object is controlled to maintain the probe and gun-sniffing game state. After the first probe game operation ends, the game virtual object is controlled to switch from the probe and gun-sniffing game state to the gun-sniffing game state.

[0121] In one example embodiment of this disclosure, a virtual camera can be controlled to rotate in response to a virtual game object performing a probe game action, or in response to a virtual game object performing a probing game action. The virtual camera is used to capture scene images of the virtual game scene.

[0122] Specifically, when the virtual object performs a gun-shooting game action, the virtual camera can be controlled to rotate. For example, the virtual camera can be controlled to rotate in the direction of the gun-shooting game action. For instance, when performing a gun-shooting game action to the left, the virtual camera can be controlled to rotate to the left.

[0123] Specifically, when the virtual object performs a peeking action in the game, the virtual camera can be controlled to rotate. For example, the virtual camera can be controlled to rotate in the direction of the peeking action. For instance, when performing a peeking action to the right, the virtual camera can be controlled to rotate to the right.

[0124] Furthermore, the range of motion of the virtual camera is positively correlated with the range of motion in the gun-shooting game and the range of motion in the peep-shooting game. That is, the larger the range of motion in the gun-shooting game, the larger the range of motion of the virtual camera; the larger the range of motion in the peep-shooting game, the larger the range of motion of the virtual camera.

[0125] Furthermore, the virtual camera rotates at its maximum range when the virtual game object squats to a preset depth or returns to a standing position from a preset depth.

[0126] In one embodiment of the game control method disclosed herein, during game operation, when a virtual game object is behind a virtual obstacle, in response to a first "probe" game operation on a first control, the virtual game object is controlled to perform a "probe" game action, thus placing the virtual game object in a "probe" game state. While in the "probe" game state, in response to a first "peek" game operation on the first control, the virtual game object is controlled to perform a "peek" game action, thus placing the virtual game object in a "peek and probe" game state. On one hand, the simultaneous execution of the "peek" and "probe" game actions allows for shooting enemy virtual game objects with minimal exposure of the virtual game object's body, increasing the operational ceiling. On the other hand, after observing an enemy virtual game object through the "peek" game action, an attack can be launched directly without needing to emerge from behind cover, reducing risk, simplifying operation steps, and preventing the virtual game object from being placed in a disadvantageous position. Furthermore, performing the "probe" game action first, followed by the "peek" game action, allows for observation of the enemy virtual game object's position through the "peek" game action, improving the hit rate of the "probe" game action and increasing operational benefits.

[0127] It should be noted that the above figures are merely illustrative of the processes included in the method according to exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, and are not intended to be limiting. It is readily understood that the processes shown in the above figures do not indicate or limit the temporal order of these processes. Furthermore, it is readily understood that these processes may be executed synchronously or asynchronously, for example, in multiple modules.

[0128] Furthermore, in an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, a game control device is also provided. (See also...) Figure 6 As shown, a game control device 600 includes: a probe action execution module 610 and a probe action execution module 620.

[0129] During gameplay, when the virtual game object is behind a virtual obstacle, in response to a first "probe gun" game operation on the first control, the virtual game object is controlled to perform a "probe gun" game action, thus placing the virtual game object in a "probe gun" game state. The "probe gun" game state is characterized by the virtual game object extending its virtual weapon beyond the virtual obstacle according to the direction of the first "probe gun" game operation. While the virtual game object is in the "probe gun" game state, in response to a first "peek" game operation on the first control, the virtual game object is controlled to perform a "peek" game action, thus placing the virtual game object in a "peek and probe gun" game state. The direction of the first "probe gun" game action is the same as the direction of the first "peek" game action. The "peek and probe gun" game state is characterized by the virtual game object extending its virtual weapon beyond the virtual obstacle according to the direction of the first "probe gun" game operation, and also extending its head beyond the virtual obstacle according to the direction of the first "peek" game operation.

Figure 7 The electronic device 700 shown is merely an example and should not impose any limitation on the functionality and scope of use of the embodiments disclosed herein.
