[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] In current multiplayer online tactical competitive games, players typically need to simultaneously operate multiple directional skill controls, allowing virtual objects to unleash multiple skills at once to increase the attack power of the player-controlled virtual object. These directional skill controls require players to tap and swipe to trigger, necessitating multiple (at least two) simultaneous taps and swipes. This is technically challenging and demands high hand speed, making it difficult for players to maximize the combat power of their virtual objects and resulting in a poor gaming experience. Therefore, this invention provides a game operation control method, device, and electronic device, applicable to devices such as mobile phones, computers, tablets, and laptops.

[0022] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the game operation control method can run on a local terminal device or a server. When the game operation control method runs on a server, the method can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interaction system, wherein the cloud interaction system includes a server and a client device.

[0023] 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 the game's operation and 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.

[0024] 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.

[0025] In one possible implementation, this invention provides a game operation control method, which provides a graphical user interface (GUI) through a terminal device. The terminal device can be either a local terminal device (as mentioned above) or a client device in a cloud interaction system (as mentioned above). The GUI includes a game scene view, a joystick control, skill controls, and controlled virtual objects located within the game scene. The game scene typically refers to a multiplayer online tactical competitive game, the controlled virtual object refers to a virtual character controlled by the terminal device, the joystick control is typically used to control the movement of the controlled virtual character within the game scene, and the skill controls are typically used to control the controlled virtual character to release a corresponding target skill in a target direction. The scene view is obtained by capturing the game scene using a virtual camera corresponding to the controlled virtual character. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0026] Step S102: In response to the first sliding operation of the joystick control, control the controlled virtual object to move in the game scene and display the first identifier in the graphical user interface;

[0027] The aforementioned first swipe operation refers to the player's touch swipe operation on the terminal device screen, also known as a touch drag operation. The aforementioned first indicator can be used to indicate the current direction of the movement joystick control; the aforementioned first indicator can be a fixed indicator displayed at a designated location in the graphical user interface, such as the edge of the movement joystick control, the area near the skill controls, or the upper area of ​​the graphical user interface; alternatively, it can be a real-time changing indicator, for example, updating its shape and display position in real time according to the direction of the movement joystick control. The aforementioned first indicator is usually a transparent indicator to avoid obscuring the game controls and the game scene.

[0028] Specifically, players first tap the movement joystick control, and then, without lifting their finger from the screen, perform a sliding motion on the joystick control. This sliding motion controls the movement of the virtual character within the game scene. For example, sliding the joystick control forward will move the virtual character forward within the game scene. A first indicator will also be displayed in the graphical user interface. For example, such as... Figure 2 As shown, when the player performs a sliding motion on the joystick control, a first indicator is displayed in the graphical user interface. It should be noted that... Figure 2 This is merely an illustrative example; the shape and display position of the first identifier are not limited to... Figure 2The shape and display position shown can also be other styles of logo shape, and the first logo can also be displayed in other locations in the graphical user interface.

[0029] Step S104: In response to the specified operation for the first identifier, determine the first target direction of the movement joystick control, and display the second identifier on the skill control; wherein, the second identifier is used to indicate that the skill control stores the first target direction;

[0030] The specified operation can be a long press, a swipe, or a tap, etc. The second identifier can indicate the direction of the first target; for example, if the first target is directly forward in the game scene, the second identifier could be an arrow pointing directly forward. Additionally, the second identifier is typically displayed at a designated location on the skill control, such as the edge of the movement joystick control or within the skill control area. The second identifier also indicates that triggering a skill control displaying the second identifier will release the skill in the direction of the first target.

[0031] Specifically, players can touch (either by clicking or pressing) the first indicator. At this point, the game system will determine the first target direction of the current joystick control, that is, the direction of the joystick control's position after being moved relative to its position before being moved. For example, if the joystick control is moved to the upper left and the player touches the first indicator, then the first target direction of the joystick control will be determined to be the upper left.

[0032] For example, if a player taps the first icon, multiple skill control icons will appear in the area surrounding it; similarly, if a player presses and holds the first icon without lifting their finger from the screen, multiple skill control icons will also appear in the area surrounding it. Players can select a target control icon from the icons, or select multiple target control icons to display a second icon on the skill control corresponding to the target control icon, or vice versa.

[0033] If the player presses the first icon, and then slides the first icon without leaving the screen, the player can control the movement of the first icon in the graphical user interface. Specifically, the player can slide the first icon to the skill control. When the player leaves the screen, the second icon will be displayed on the skill control.

[0034] Step S106: Respond to the specified trigger operation for the skill control and control the target skill corresponding to the skill control to be released based on the first target direction.

[0035] The skill control mentioned above, in the context of the designated trigger operation for the skill control, refers to a skill control that displays a second identifier. This designated trigger operation typically refers to a click operation. For example, a player can click on a skill control, and the game system will control the controlled virtual object to release a target skill, directing the target skill towards the first target direction. The target skill can be a skill that damages an enemy virtual object, or it can be a skill that causes the controlled virtual object to move. If the target skill is a skill that causes the controlled virtual object to move, responding to the designated trigger operation for the skill control will control the controlled virtual object to move towards the first target direction.

[0036] It should be noted that after the skill control with the second identifier is displayed, if the player does not want to release the target skill in the direction stored in the skill control, the player can control the target skill to be released in the direction of the slide by using touch and swipe operation. That is, the player needs to press the skill control, then drag the skill control to select the release direction of the target skill, and then release the control to control the target skill to be released in the direction of the slide.

[0037] This invention provides a game operation control method. In response to a first sliding operation on a joystick control, a first identifier is displayed in the graphical user interface. In response to a specified operation on the first identifier, a first target direction of the joystick control is determined, and a second identifier is displayed on the skill control, indicating that the skill control stores the first target direction. In response to a specified trigger operation on the skill control, the target skill corresponding to the skill control is released based on the first target direction. This method, by pre-storing the release direction of the target skill corresponding to the skill control, reduces the number of sliding operations on the joystick control when multiple press and slide operations need to be performed quickly and simultaneously. This reduces the player's operation steps, lowers the difficulty of operation, reduces the requirement for the player's hand speed, and improves the combat power of virtual objects and the player's gaming experience.

[0038] The aforementioned joystick control has a preset movement operation area; in step S104, the step of determining the first target direction of the joystick control in response to a specified operation on the first identifier and displaying the second identifier on the skill control can be implemented in the following possible ways:

[0039] (1) In response to a touch operation on the first identifier, determine the first target direction of the joystick control based on the current sliding position of the joystick control in the movement operation area;

[0040] The touch operation described above typically refers to a press operation. For example, such as... Figure 3 As shown, when the player presses the first icon, the game system will determine the position of the movement control within the movement area based on the current sliding position of the movement control. Figure 3If the current movement control is located in the upper left of the movement operation area, then the first target direction of the movement joystick control is determined to be the upper left.

[0041] (2) In response to a second swipe operation starting from the touch point of the touch operation, a second identifier is displayed on the skill control.

[0042] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first icon is moved by touch-slide operation. When it moves to the skill control, the second icon is displayed on the skill control. In this method, based on the current movement direction of the joystick control, the movement direction can be stored on the skill control by touch-slide operation. The operation is simple and allows players to release the target skill in the target direction with a simple trigger, reducing the difficulty of operation for players.

[0043] In step (2) above, the step of displaying a second identifier on the skill control in response to a second swipe operation starting from the touch point of the touch operation, one possible implementation is as follows:

[0044] In response to a second swipe operation starting from the touch point of the touch operation, the first icon is moved to the skill control; in response to the end of the second swipe operation, the second icon is displayed on the skill control.

[0045] Examples such as Figure 4 As shown, the first identifier is controlled to move towards the skill control; an example is as follows. Figure 5 As shown, when the player moves the first icon to the skill control and releases the button, the second icon will appear on the skill control. It should be noted that... Figure 5 This is merely an illustrative example; the shape and display position of the second identifier are not limited to... Figure 5 The shape shown can also be other styles of shape.

[0046] One possible implementation of the above step of displaying the second identifier on the skill control is as follows:

[0047] A second identifier is displayed at the first edge of the skill control; wherein the first edge is located in the first target direction of the skill control; and the identifier shape of the second identifier points in the first target direction.

[0048] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the second indicator is shaped like an arrow, pointing towards the first target direction, which is the upper left. Additionally, the first edge is also located at the upper left of the skill control. This display method allows players to clearly understand the current direction of the skill control, further enhancing the player's gaming experience.

[0049] After the step of displaying the second identifier on the skill control in response to the specified operation of the first identifier, the above method further includes: canceling the display of the second identifier in response to reaching a preset time.

[0050] To further enhance the player's gaming experience, the second indicator can only display a preset time (such as 10 seconds, 15 seconds, etc.). In other words, the skill control can only store the preset time for the first target direction.

[0051] The above response targets a specified trigger operation for a skill control, controlling the release of the target skill corresponding to the skill control based on the first target direction. One possible implementation is as follows:

[0052] Within a preset time, respond to click operations on the skill control and control the target skill corresponding to the skill control to be released based on the first target direction.

[0053] In other words, players can only release the target skill towards the first target by clicking on the skill controls within a preset time (such as 10 seconds, 15 seconds, etc.).

[0054] After the steps of responding to the specified operation of the first identifier, determining the first target direction of the movement joystick control, and displaying the second identifier on the skill control, the above method further includes:

[0055] In response to the first identifier indicating the second target direction moving to the skill control, the second identifier is de-displayed, and a third identifier is displayed at the second edge position of the skill control; wherein the second edge position is located in the second target direction of the skill control; the identifier shape of the third identifier points in the second target direction.

[0056] If a player wants to change the first target direction for skill control storage within a preset time, they can repeat the above steps: first, determine the desired storage direction using the joystick; then, touch the current first indicator to determine the second target direction (the direction the player wants to store the skill); finally, move the first indicator pointing to the second target direction to the skill control to update the second indicator—that is, cancel the second indicator and display a third indicator pointing in the second target direction. This method updates the stored direction of the skill control. By re-determining the first indicator and moving it to the skill control, the stored direction is updated, simplifying the operation and further improving the player's experience.

[0057] One possible implementation of the step of displaying the first identifier in the graphical user interface is to display the first identifier at a specified edge position of the mobile operation area.

[0058] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first indicator is always displayed on the right side of the mobile operation area to facilitate the player's right hand to perform touch and swipe operations on the first indicator, thereby improving the player's operating experience.

[0059] Of course, the first indicator mentioned above can also be displayed in other locations, but since most of the operation controls in the game are located on the right side of the screen, placing it near the left-side joystick controls is mainly to reduce the amount of right-side controls being obstructed.

[0060] The above response, in response to the specified operation of the first identifier, determines the first target direction of the movement joystick control, and displays the second identifier on the skill control. Another possible implementation is as follows:

[0061] In response to a touch operation targeting the first identifier, determine the first target direction of the movement joystick control and display the second identifier on multiple skill controls.

[0062] To further reduce the difficulty of player operation, multiple skill controls can be stored with the same direction simultaneously. For example, players can tap or long-press a first identifier. The graphical user interface typically displays the identifier for each skill control, and players can select a target identifier by tapping, potentially selecting multiple target identifiers. Finally, a second identifier is displayed on the skill control corresponding to the selected target identifier. This method reduces the need for players to swipe between skill controls when they need to quickly operate multiple skill controls simultaneously; a simple tap is sufficient to trigger multiple skill controls, further reducing the difficulty of player operation.

[0063] After the steps of responding to the specified operation of the first identifier, determining the first target direction of the movement joystick control, and displaying the second identifier on the skill control, the above method further includes:

[0064] In response to a third sliding operation on the second identifier, the second identifier is controlled to move at the edge of the skill control; in response to the end of the third sliding operation, the third target direction of the third sliding operation is determined, and the second identifier is updated based on the third target direction; the updated second identifier is displayed at the third edge position of the skill control; wherein, the updated second identifier is used to indicate that the third target direction is stored in the skill control; the third edge position is located in the third target direction of the skill control.

[0065] Additionally, players can directly interact with the second icon within a preset time period by tapping and sliding it to update the direction it points to. Specifically, players can press the second icon and control it to move along the edge of the skill control. Releasing the tap when the icon reaches the desired position updates the icon. The current position of the second icon is then determined as the third target direction, which is the direction of the third sliding action mentioned above. The icon's shape is then updated to point in the third target direction. Finally, the updated second icon is displayed at the third edge position along the third target direction of the skill control. This method allows direct control of the second icon's movement, updating the stored direction of the skill control, and simultaneously updating the icon's display position and shape, further enhancing the player's experience.

[0066] In addition, the first, second, and third target directions mentioned above are all absolute directions relative to the game scene.

[0067] The aforementioned method allows players to stop holding down the skill and drag the direction, turning the skill into a click-to-release skill, thus speeding up the player's operation.

[0068] Corresponding to the above method embodiments, this invention provides a game operation control device that provides a graphical user interface (GUI) through a terminal device. The GUI includes a game scene view, a joystick control, skill controls, and controlled virtual objects located within the game scene; such as... Figure 6 As shown, the device includes:

[0069] The first identifier display module 61 is used to respond to the first sliding operation of the moving joystick control, control the controlled virtual object to move in the game scene, and display the first identifier in the graphical user interface;

[0070] The second identifier display module 62 is used to respond to a specified operation for the first identifier, determine the first target direction of the movement joystick control, and display the second identifier on the skill control; wherein, the second identifier is used to indicate that the skill control stores the first target direction;

[0071] The target skill release module 63 is used to respond to a specified trigger operation for the skill control and control the release of the target skill corresponding to the skill control based on the first target direction.

[0072] This invention provides a game operation control device. In response to a first sliding operation on a joystick control, a first identifier is displayed in the graphical user interface. In response to a specified operation on the first identifier, a first target direction of the joystick control is determined, and a second identifier is displayed on the skill control, indicating that the skill control stores the first target direction. In response to a specified trigger operation on the skill control, the target skill corresponding to the skill control is released based on the first target direction. This method, by pre-storing the release direction of the target skill corresponding to the skill control, reduces the number of sliding operations on the joystick control when multiple press and slide operations need to be performed quickly and simultaneously. This reduces the player's operation steps, lowers the difficulty of operation, reduces the requirement for the player's hand speed, and improves the combat power of virtual objects and the player's gaming experience.

[0076] The second identifier cancellation module of the above-mentioned device is used to: cancel the display of the second identifier in response to reaching a preset time.

[0077] The aforementioned target skill release module is also used to: respond to click operations on the skill control within a preset time and control the target skill corresponding to the skill control to be released based on the first target direction.

[0078] The aforementioned device further includes a third identifier display module, configured to: in response to the first identifier indicating the second target direction moving to the skill control, cancel the display of the second identifier, and display the third identifier at the second edge position of the skill control; wherein the second edge position is located in the second target direction of the skill control; and the identifier shape of the third identifier points towards the second target direction.

[0079] The aforementioned first identifier display module is also used to: display the first identifier at a specified edge position of the mobile operation area.

[0080] The aforementioned second identifier display module is also used to: respond to a touch operation on the first identifier, determine a first target direction of the movement joystick control, and display the second identifier on multiple skill controls.

[0081] The aforementioned device further includes a second identifier update module, configured to: control the second identifier to move at the edge of the skill control in response to a third sliding operation on the second identifier; determine the third target direction of the third sliding operation in response to the end of the third sliding operation, and update the second identifier based on the third target direction; display the updated second identifier at the third edge position of the skill control; wherein the updated second identifier is used to indicate that the skill control stores the third target direction; the third edge position is located in the third target direction of the skill control.

[0082] The game operation control device provided in this embodiment of the invention has the same technical features as the game operation control method provided in the above embodiments, so it can also solve the same technical problems and achieve the same technical effects.

[0083] This embodiment also provides an electronic device, including a processor and a memory. The memory stores machine-executable instructions that can be executed by the processor. The processor executes the machine-executable instructions to implement the operation control method of the aforementioned game. This electronic device can be a server or a terminal device.

[0084] See Figure 7 As shown, the electronic device includes a processor 100 and a memory 101. The memory 101 stores machine-executable instructions that can be executed by the processor 100. The processor 100 executes the machine-executable instructions to implement the operation control method of the game described above.

[0085] Furthermore, Figure 7 The electronic device shown also includes a bus 102 and a communication interface 103, with the processor 100, the communication interface 103 and the memory 101 connected via the bus 102.

[0086] The memory 101 may include high-speed random access memory (RAM) or non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device. Communication between this system network element and at least one other network element is achieved through at least one communication interface 103 (which can be wired or wireless), such as the Internet, wide area network, local area network, or metropolitan area network. The bus 102 may be an ISA bus, PCI bus, or EISA bus, etc. The bus can be divided into address bus, data bus, control bus, etc. For ease of representation, Figure 7The symbol is represented by a single double-headed arrow, but this does not mean that there is only one bus or one type of bus.

The general-purpose processor may be a microprocessor or any conventional processor. The steps of the methods disclosed in the embodiments of this invention can be directly manifested as execution by a hardware decoding processor, or execution by a combination of hardware and software modules in the decoding processor. The software module can reside in a mature storage medium in the art, such as random access memory, flash memory, read-only memory, programmable read-only memory, electrically erasable programmable memory, or registers. This storage medium is located in memory 101. The processor 100 reads information from memory 101 and, in conjunction with its hardware, completes the steps of the game operation control method described in the foregoing embodiment, specifically including:

[0088] In response to a first sliding operation on the joystick control, the controlled virtual object is moved within the game scene, and a first identifier is displayed in the graphical user interface. In response to a specified operation on the first identifier, a first target direction of the joystick control is determined, and a second identifier is displayed on the skill control. The second identifier indicates that the skill control stores the first target direction. In response to a specified trigger operation on the skill control, the target skill corresponding to the skill control is released based on the first target direction. This method, by pre-storing the release direction of the target skill corresponding to the skill control, reduces the number of sliding operations on the joystick control when multiple press and slide operations need to be performed quickly and simultaneously. This reduces the player's operation steps, lowers the difficulty of operation, and thus reduces the requirement for the player's hand speed, improving the combat power of the virtual object and the player's gaming experience.
