[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0023] The embodiments of the present application provide a virtual character selection method and device, an electronic device and a storage medium.

[0024] The virtual character selection device can be integrated in an electronic device, which can be a terminal, a server or the like. The terminal can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a smart Bluetooth device, a notebook computer or a personal computer (PC) or the like. The server can be a single server or a server cluster composed of multiple servers.

[0025] In some embodiments, the virtual character selection device can also be integrated in multiple electronic devices, for example, the virtual character selection device can be integrated in multiple servers, and the multiple servers can implement the virtual character selection method of the present application.

[0026] In some embodiments, the server can also be implemented in the form of a terminal.

[0027] At present, in an action role-playing game or an action game, the field of view direction of a user virtual character and the distance between the user virtual character and an enemy virtual character are comprehensively considered to determine an enemy virtual character selected by the user virtual character from multiple enemy virtual characters. This method is prone to cause selection of an incorrect enemy virtual character, so that the user is prone to incorrectly releasing a skill due to selection of the incorrect enemy virtual character. In order to select a correct enemy virtual character, the user needs to control the field of view direction of the user virtual character in a game scene to recalculate the enemy virtual character selected by the user virtual character. Thus, in order to select the correct enemy virtual character, the user virtual character may select different enemy virtual characters multiple times in a short period of time, which increases the burden of game running and is not conducive to the user virtual character to fight against multiple enemy virtual characters.

[0028] Since the above-mentioned way can cause more selection times, which is not conducive to the user virtual character to fight against multiple enemy virtual characters, therefore, with reference to Figure 1a The embodiment of the present application provides a virtual character selection method, the electronic device is a terminal device, the terminal device can run an electronic game, a screen of the terminal device displays a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface comprises a game scene, and the game scene at least partially contains other virtual characters, and the method comprises the following steps: in response to a first operation on a selection control, selecting a first target character from the other virtual characters; and in response to a second operation on the selection control, selecting a second target character from candidate characters, wherein the candidate characters are virtual characters other than the first target character in the other virtual characters.

[0029] If the first target character is not expected by the user, the second target character can be selected from the candidate characters through the second operation, and the candidate characters are virtual characters other than the first target character, so that the first target character is not reselected, thereby reducing the selection times and improving the selection efficiency.

[0030] In one of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the virtual character selection method can run on a terminal device or a server. When the virtual character selection method runs on the server, the method can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interaction system, wherein the cloud interaction system comprises a server and a client device.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, various cloud applications can run under the cloud interaction system, for example, cloud games. Taking the cloud games as an example, the cloud games refer to a game mode based on cloud computing. In the running mode of the cloud games, the running subject of the game program and the presentation subject of the game picture are separated, and the storage and running of the virtual character selection method are completed on the cloud game server. The client device is used for receiving and sending data and presenting the game picture. For example, the client device can be a display device close to the user side and having a data transmission function, such as a terminal, a television, a computer, a palm computer and the like. However, the terminal device for performing the virtual character selection method is the cloud game server in the cloud. When playing the game, the user operates the client device to send operation instructions, such as touch operation instructions, to the cloud game server, the cloud game server runs the game according to the operation instructions, encodes and compresses the game picture and other data, returns the data to the client device through the network, and finally decodes and outputs the game picture through the client device.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, taking a game as an example, the local terminal device stores a game program and is configured to present a game picture. The local terminal device is configured to interact with a player through a graphical user interface, i.e., a conventional game program is downloaded and installed through an electronic device and is run. The local terminal device can provide the graphical user interface to the user in various ways, for example, the graphical user interface can be rendered and displayed on a display screen of the terminal, or the graphical user interface can be provided to the user through holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device can include a display screen configured to present a graphical user interface including a game picture, and a processor configured to run the game, generate the graphical user interface, and control the display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.

[0033] A game scene (or referred to as a virtual scene) is a virtual scene displayed (or provided) by an application when the application is running on a terminal or a server. Optionally, the virtual scene is a simulated environment of a real world, or a virtual environment that is half simulated and half fictional, or a purely fictional virtual environment. The virtual scene is any one of a two-dimensional virtual scene and a three-dimensional virtual scene, and the virtual environment can be a sky, a land, a sea, etc., wherein the land includes environmental elements such as a desert and a city. The virtual scene is a scene in which a player controls a virtual object to complete game logic.

[0034] A game interface refers to an interface corresponding to an application provided or displayed through a graphical user interface. The interface includes a graphical user interface for user interaction and a game picture, which is a picture of a game scene.

[0035] In an optional embodiment, the graphical user interface (UI interface) can include game controls (such as controls for controlling virtual characters, function controls, etc.), indication marks (such as direction indication marks, character indication marks, etc.), information display areas (such as game scores, game times, etc.), or game setting controls (such as system settings, stores, gold coins, etc.).

[0036] For example, in some embodiments, the graphical user interface can include prompt information as any control.

[0037] In an optional embodiment, the game picture is a display picture corresponding to a game scene displayed by a terminal device. The game picture can include virtual objects such as game objects, non-player characters (NPCs), and artificial intelligence (AI) characters performing game logic in the game scene.

[0038] For example, in some embodiments, the content displayed in the graphical user interface at least partially contains a game scene, wherein the game scene contains at least one game object.

[0039] In some embodiments, the game object in the game scene includes a virtual character controlled by the player through the terminal device.

[0040] The game object refers to a virtual object in a virtual scene, including a game character, which is a controllable dynamic object, i.e., a dynamic virtual object. Optionally, the dynamic object can be a virtual person, a virtual animal, an animation character, etc. The virtual object is a character controlled by the user through an input device, or an AI character set in a virtual environment for battle, or an NPC set in a virtual scene for battle.

[0041] Optionally, the virtual object is a virtual person competing in a virtual scene. Optionally, the number of virtual objects in the virtual scene battle is pre-set, or is dynamically determined according to the number of clients joining the battle, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0042] In a possible implementation manner, the game application can enable the user to control the virtual character in the virtual scene through the terminal device to perform a game behavior, which can include moving, casting skills, using props, and chatting, etc. For example, the virtual object can be controlled to run, jump, crawl, etc., and the game application can also control the virtual object to use skills, virtual props, etc. to fight with other virtual objects.

[0043] In an optional implementation, the embodiment of the present application provides a virtual character selection method, which provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device. The touch terminal can be the aforementioned local terminal device, or the aforementioned client device in the cloud interaction system.

[0044] The following will be described in detail. It should be noted that the serial numbers of the following embodiments do not limit the preferred order of the embodiments.

[0045] In this embodiment, a virtual character selection method is provided, which provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device. The graphical user interface includes a game scene, which at least partially contains other virtual characters, such as Figure 1b As shown in the figure, the specific process of the virtual character selection method can be as follows:

[0046] 110、In response to the first operation on the selection control, a first target character is selected from the other virtual characters.

[0047] Among them, the other virtual characters cannot be controlled by the terminal device. For example, the other virtual characters can be controlled by other terminal devices except the terminal device, or can be virtual characters (NPCs) pre-set in the game, etc.

[0048] The selection control is used to establish a selected relationship with other virtual characters. For example, the selection control can be a physical button or a virtual control, and the physical button can be a button (shortcut key, mouse middle button, etc.) of a terminal device, and the virtual control can be a control displayed by a graphical user interface.

[0049] The first operation is used to select at least one other virtual character when there is no selected other virtual character in the game scene. For example, the first operation can be an operation of triggering the selection control according to a first preset rule, or issuing a first voice command, and triggering the selection control according to the first preset rule can be “single-click”, “double-click”, “long-press” the selection control, etc., and the specific operation mode of the first operation is not limited herein. The first voice command can be “select the other virtual character for the first time”, and the voice content of the first voice command is not limited herein.

[0050] The first target character is the other virtual character selected by the user through the terminal device.

[0051] For example, if the other virtual character has an enemy relationship with the virtual character controlled by the terminal device, the first target character is the selected virtual character to be attacked. If the other virtual character has a team relationship with the virtual character controlled by the terminal device, the first target character is the selected virtual character to be rescued. If the other virtual character has a neutral relationship with the virtual character controlled by the terminal device, the first target character can be a virtual character to be attacked, a virtual character to be rescued, a virtual character to be dialogued, etc.

[0052] In some embodiments, in order to enable the virtual character controlled by the terminal device to release a skill to the first target character, the game scene includes a first virtual character controlled by the terminal device, and after the first target character is selected from the other virtual characters in response to the first operation on the selection control, the method further includes:

[0053] In response to the touch operation on the skill control, the position of the first target character in the game scene is obtained.

[0054] If the position is not in the current field of view direction, the field of view direction of the first virtual character is turned to the position, so that the first virtual character releases a skill corresponding to the skill control to the position. The current field of view direction is the field of view direction of the first virtual character in the game scene.

[0055] The first virtual character is a virtual character controlled by the user through the terminal device.

[0056] The skill control is a control for controlling the first virtual character to release a skill in the game scene.

[0057] The touch operation is used to control the first virtual character to release a skill in the game scene.

[0058] The position is a coordinate of the first target role in the game scene.

[0059] For example, if there is an enemy relationship between the first virtual role and the other virtual role, the skill corresponding to the skill control is used to attack the other virtual role to reduce the attribute value of the other virtual role. If there is a teammate relationship between the first virtual role and the other virtual role, the skill corresponding to the skill control is used to increase the attribute value of the other virtual role. If there is a neutral relationship between the first virtual role and the other virtual role, the skill corresponding to the skill control can be used to reduce or increase the attribute value of the other virtual role.

[0060] In some embodiments, in order to select the first target role from the plurality of other virtual roles, the game scene includes the first virtual role controlled by the terminal device, and the first target role is selected from the other virtual roles in response to the first operation on the selection control, comprising:

[0061] In response to the first operation on the selection control, the first focus role is determined from the other virtual roles according to the visual direction of the first virtual role in the game scene, and the first focus role is the other virtual role located in the visual direction.

[0062] The distance between the first focus role and the first virtual role is calculated.

[0063] The first target role is selected from all the first focus roles according to the distance between each first focus role and the first virtual role.

[0064] The first focus role is the other virtual role in the visual direction of the first virtual role.

[0065] For example, if there are a plurality of other virtual roles overlapping in the game scene in the visual direction of the first virtual role, there are a plurality of first focus roles, or there is one other virtual role in the visual direction of the first virtual role, there is one first focus role.

[0066] The distance between the first focus role and the first virtual role is the distance between the coordinate of the first focus role in the game scene and the coordinate of the first virtual role in the game scene.

[0067] For example, if there is one first focus role, the first target role is the first focus role.

[0068] For example, if there are multiple first key roles, the first target role can be the first key role closest to the first virtual role, the first key role farthest from the first virtual role, any first key role between the first key role closest to the first virtual role and the first key role farthest from the first virtual role, and the like.

[0069] In some embodiments, to obtain the visual field direction of the first virtual role, in response to the first operation on the selected control, the first key role is determined from the other virtual roles according to the visual field direction of the first virtual role in the game scene, including:

[0070] In response to the first operation on the selected control, a direction control joystick is displayed on the graphical user interface, and the direction control joystick is used to control the direction of movement of the first virtual role;

[0071] According to the direction of the direction control joystick on the graphical user interface, the visual field direction of the first virtual role in the game scene is determined;

[0072] According to the visual field direction of the first virtual role in the game scene, the first key role is determined from the other virtual roles.

[0073] In some embodiments, to obtain the visual field direction of the first virtual role, in response to the first operation on the selected control, the first key role is determined from the other virtual roles according to the visual field direction of the first virtual role in the game scene, including:

[0074] In response to the first operation on the selected control, the moving direction of the first virtual role in the game scene is obtained;

[0075] According to the moving direction, the visual field direction of the first virtual role in the game scene is determined;

[0076] According to the visual field direction of the first virtual role in the game scene, the first key role is determined from the other virtual roles.

[0077] In some embodiments, considering that if there is an antagonistic relationship between the other virtual roles and the first virtual role, the first target role can be selected from all the first key roles according to the distance between each first key role and the first virtual role, so that the first virtual role can select the other virtual role with strong attack force, so that the first virtual role can fight against the other virtual role, or if the other virtual roles and the first virtual role are in the same team, the first target role can be selected from all the first key roles according to the distance between each first key role and the first virtual role, so that the first virtual role can select the other virtual role with low life value, so that the first virtual role can rescue the other virtual role, and the like.

[0078] determine a first candidate target role from all the first key roles according to a distance between each first key role and the first virtual role, the distance between the first candidate target role and the first virtual role being within a preset range;

[0079] obtain a role attribute of the first candidate target role;

[0080] determine a first target role from all the first candidate target roles according to the role attribute of each first candidate target role.

[0081] The first candidate target role is a first key role within the preset range from the first virtual role.

[0082] The preset range is a range preset from the first virtual role. For example, the preset range can be any range, or the attack range of the first virtual role, etc.

[0083] The role attribute of the first candidate target role is used to reflect the attack ability of the first candidate target role. For example, the role attribute of the first candidate target role can be the health value or attack force of the first candidate target role, etc.

[0084] For example, if there is a team relationship between the other virtual roles and the first virtual role, the first target role can be the first candidate target role with the lowest health value, so that the first virtual role can rescue the first target role. If there is an enemy relationship between the other virtual roles and the first virtual role, the first target role can be the first candidate target role with the strongest attack force, so that the first virtual role can fight against the first target role.

[0085] 120, in response to a second operation on the selected control, a second target role is selected from the candidate roles, wherein the candidate roles are virtual roles other than the first target role among the other virtual roles.

[0086] The second operation is different from the first operation, and is used to re-select the other virtual roles other than the first target role when the selected other virtual roles exist in the game scene. For example, the second operation can be an operation of triggering the selected control according to a second preset rule, or issuing a second voice command, etc. The specific operation mode of the second operation and the voice content of the second voice command are not limited herein.

[0087] For example, if the selected control is a virtual control, the first operation can be “single-clicking” the virtual control, and the second operation can be “double-clicking” or “long-pressing” the virtual control. If the selected control is a mouse, the first operation can be “single-clicking” the middle key of the mouse, and the second operation can be “long-pressing” the middle key of the mouse, etc. If the selected control is a microphone, the second voice command can be “re-selecting the other virtual roles”.

[0088] The candidate role is another virtual role that is not selected by the terminal device, and the first target role is not included in the candidate role. For example, the other virtual roles include role A, role B, role C, and role D, and if the first target role is role A, the candidate role is role B, role C, and role D.

[0089] The second target role is another virtual role that is re-selected by the user through the terminal device after the first target role is selected.

[0090] In some embodiments, in order to select the second target role from the plurality of candidate roles, the game scene includes a first virtual role, the first virtual role has a selected relationship with the first target role, and in response to the second operation on the selection control, the second target role is selected from the candidate roles, including:

[0091] In response to the second operation on the selection control, the second focus role is determined from the candidate roles according to the visual direction of the first virtual role in the game scene, the second focus role being a virtual role in the candidate roles located in the visual direction;

[0092] The distance between the second focus role and the first virtual role is calculated.

[0093] The second target role is determined from all the second focus roles according to the distance between each second focus role and the first virtual role.

[0094] The selected relationship between the first virtual role and the first target role is released, and the first virtual role is controlled to select the second target role to establish a selected relationship between the first virtual role and the second target role.

[0095] The second focus role is a candidate role in the visual direction of the first virtual role.

[0096] For example, if there are multiple candidate roles overlapping in the game scene in the visual direction of the first virtual role, there are multiple second focus roles, or there is one candidate role in the visual direction of the first virtual role, there is one second focus role.

[0097] The distance between the second focus role and the first virtual role is the distance between the coordinates of the second focus role in the game scene and the coordinates of the first virtual role in the game scene.

[0098] For example, if there is one second focus role, the second target role is the second focus role.

[0099] For example, if there are multiple second key roles, the second target role can be the second key role closest to the first virtual role, the second key role farthest from the first virtual role, any second key role between the second key role closest to the first virtual role and the second key role farthest from the first virtual role, and the like.

[0100] In some embodiments, in order to provide the user with the progress of the first virtual role selecting the second target role, the user can make a reflection operation within the progress, so as to determine whether the first virtual role selects the second target role through the reflection operation, thereby reducing the number of selections and enabling the first virtual role to quickly select the second target role. The game scene includes the first virtual role, and the first virtual role has a selection relationship with the first target role. In response to a second operation on the selection control, the second target role is selected from the candidate roles, comprising:

[0101] In response to a second operation on the selection control, the second target role is determined from the candidate roles;

[0102] The graphical user interface displays selection progress prompt information, which reflects the progress of the first virtual role establishing a selection relationship with the second target role.

[0103] In response to a reflection operation representing pushing the selection progress prompt information, the first virtual role and the first target role are released from the selection relationship, and the first virtual role is controlled to select the second target role.

[0104] The selection progress prompt information reflects the progress of the first virtual role establishing a selection relationship with the second target role. For example, the selection progress prompt information can be a progress bar, a text reflecting the progress, and the like.

[0105] For example, if the second target role is role B, the text reflecting the progress can be "the progress of the first virtual role establishing a selection relationship with role B is 10%", "the progress of the first virtual role establishing a selection relationship with role B is 20%", and the like, until "the progress of the first virtual role establishing a selection relationship with role B is 100%", and the selection progress prompt information is stopped from being displayed.

[0106] The reflection operation is an operation made by the user on the selection progress prompt information. For example, the reflection operation can be an operation of triggering the selection control according to a preset rule, or issuing a voice command, and the like.

[0107] For example, if the selected control is long-pressed, a second target role can be determined from the candidate roles, and a selected progress prompt information is displayed on the graphical user interface. If the selected control is long-pressed again, the selected relationship between the first virtual role and the first target role is removed, and the first virtual role is controlled to select the second target role.

[0108] In some embodiments, in consideration of the fact that the user can determine the first virtual role to select the second target role according to the selected progress prompt information, in response to a reflection operation representing pushing the selected progress prompt information, the selected relationship between the first virtual role and the first target role is removed, and the first virtual role is controlled to select the second target role, which includes:

[0109] In response to the reflection operation representing pushing the selected progress prompt information, the selected progress prompt information displayed on the graphical user interface is updated.

[0110] If the updated selected progress prompt information reflects that the progress is completed, the selected relationship between the first virtual role and the first target role is removed, and the first virtual role is controlled to select the second target role.

[0111] The reflection operation representing pushing the selected progress prompt information is an operation of the user pushing the first virtual role to select the second target role.

[0112] The updated selected progress prompt information reflects the selected progress of the second target role and the first virtual role.

[0113] For example, after the reflection operation representing pushing the selected progress prompt information is obtained, the progress of pushing the first virtual role to establish the selected relationship with the second target role is used to update the selected progress prompt information of the graphical user interface.

[0114] In some embodiments, in consideration of the fact that the user does not expect the first virtual role to select the second target role, the number of selections is reduced, and the second target role can be updated so that the updated second target role can be a candidate role expected by the user, the method further includes:

[0115] Before the selected progress prompt information reflects that the progress is completed, in response to a reflection operation representing stopping pushing the selected progress prompt information, the first virtual role is controlled to stop selecting the second target role.

[0116] The visual field direction of the first virtual role is adjusted.

[0117] According to the adjusted visual field direction, the second target role is updated.

[0118] The reflection operation that represents the operation of stopping pushing the selected progress prompt information is an operation of preventing the first virtual character from selecting the second target character by the user. For example, the reflection operation that represents the operation of pushing the selected progress prompt information can be long pressing the selected control, and the reflection operation that represents the operation of stopping pushing the selected progress prompt information can be stopping touching the selected control, and the like.

[0119] The adjusted field of view direction is a direction corresponding to the field of view of the first virtual character after the first virtual character turns in the game scene.

[0120] In some embodiments, the field of view direction of the first virtual character is adjusted by controlling the first virtual character to turn in the game scene.

[0121] In some embodiments, in order to remind the user of the progress of establishing the selected relationship between the first virtual character and the second target character, the selected progress prompt information is displayed on the graphical user interface, including:

[0122] The progress bar of establishing the selected relationship between the first virtual character and the second target character is obtained, and the character identifier of the second target character is obtained.

[0123] The progress bar carrying the character identifier is displayed on the graphical user interface.

[0124] The progress bar can reflect the progress of establishing the selected relationship between the first virtual character and the second target character.

[0125] The character identifier is used to indicate the second target character that establishes the selected relationship with the first virtual character. For example, the character identifier can be the name, icon, or the like of the second target character.

[0126] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the user to control the first virtual character to select other virtual characters, the first operation and the second operation are different operations.

[0127] In some embodiments, considering that the other virtual characters are distributed relatively scattered in the game scene, in order to facilitate the user to control the first virtual character to select one of the other virtual characters, after the first target character is selected from the other virtual characters in response to the first operation on the selected control, the method further includes:

[0128] The third target character is determined from the other virtual characters in response to the first operation on the selected control.

[0129] The third target character is the other virtual character in the game scene in the field of view direction of the first virtual character.

[0130] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the user to control the first virtual character to attack the other virtual characters, the other virtual characters belong to different camps from the first virtual character.

[0131] In some embodiments, in order to enable a virtual character controlled by a terminal device to selectively release skills to a second target character, the game scene includes a first virtual character, which is controlled by the terminal device. After selecting the second target character from candidate characters in response to a second operation on a selected control, the method further includes:

[0132] In response to touch input to the skill controls, obtain the position of the second target character in the game scene;

[0133] If the location is not in the current field of view, control the field of view of the first virtual character to turn to the location, so that the first virtual character releases the skill corresponding to the skill control to the location. The current field of view is the field of view of the first virtual character in the game scene.

[0134] As can be seen from the above, the embodiments of this application can provide a graphical user interface through a terminal device. The graphical user interface includes a game scene, and the game scene at least partially includes other virtual characters, including: in response to a first operation on the selected control, selecting a first target character from other virtual characters; in response to a second operation on the selected control, selecting a second target character from candidate characters, wherein the candidate characters are virtual characters other than the first target character among the other virtual characters.

[0135] In this application, if the first target role is not desired by the user, a second target role can be selected from the candidate roles through a second operation. The candidate roles are other virtual roles besides the first target role. In this way, the first target role can be avoided, thereby reducing the number of selections and improving selection efficiency.

[0136] The method described in the above embodiments will be further described in detail below.

[0137] In this embodiment, the method of this application embodiment will be described in detail, taking the example of a first virtual character having an adversarial relationship with other virtual characters and the user controlling the first virtual character to switch the selected first target character.

[0138] (i) When the user taps the selected control (taking the middle mouse button as an example), the first virtual character selects the first target character based on the first virtual character's field of view in the game scene and the distance between the first virtual character and other virtual characters.

[0139] For example, such as Figure 2a As shown, the first target character (character 2) is determined from character 1, character 2 and character 3.

[0140] When the first target character selected by the first virtual character does not match any other virtual character the user actually wants to lock:

[0141] (ii) The user long-presses the selection control (the middle mouse button), and according to the field of view direction of the first virtual character in the game scene, a second target character is determined from the candidate characters, the candidate characters are other virtual characters except the first target character, and a progress bar appears on the graphical user interface along with the character identifier of the second target character and the release of the existing selection relationship between the first virtual character and the first target character.

[0142] For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the above-mentioned character 1 is a candidate character 1, the character 2 is a first target character, and the character 3 is a candidate character 2. By long-pressing the selection control (the middle mouse button), a second target character (the candidate character 2) is determined from the candidate character 1 and the candidate character 2, a progress bar showing the establishment of the selection relationship between the first virtual character and the second target character is displayed, the progress bar carries the character identifier 2 of the second target character (the candidate character 2), and the existing selection relationship between the first virtual character and the first target character is released. Figure 2b

[0143] (iii) If the second target character is the target that the user wants to attack, when the long-pressing of the selection control exceeds a certain time (about 0.5 seconds) and the progress bar is full, the second target character is determined to select the first virtual character; if the second target character is not what the user expects, the user can release the selection control before the progress bar is full, and the establishment of the selection relationship between the first virtual character and the second target character is considered to be cancelled.

[0144] (iv) The field of view direction of the first virtual character in the game scene is adjusted, and according to the adjusted field of view direction and the distance between the first virtual character and the candidate characters, the second target character is updated.

[0145] As can be seen from the above, when the first target character is not what the user expects when the user controls the first virtual character to select other virtual characters, the first virtual character can be switched to select other virtual characters through a simple operation.

[0146] In order to better implement the above method, the embodiment of the present application also provides a virtual character selection device. The virtual character selection device can be integrated in an electronic device, which can be a terminal, a server, etc. The terminal can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a smart Bluetooth device, a notebook computer, a personal computer, etc. The server can be a single server or a server cluster composed of multiple servers.

[0147] For example, in this embodiment, the virtual character selection device is integrated in a mobile terminal, and the method of the embodiment of the present application is described in detail.

[0148] For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the above-mentioned character 1 is a candidate character 1, the character 2 is a first target character, and the character 3 is a candidate character 2. By long-pressing the selection control (the middle mouse button), a second target character (the candidate character 2) is determined from the candidate character 1 and the candidate character 2, a progress bar showing the establishment of the selection relationship between the first virtual character and the second target character is displayed, the progress bar carries the character identifier 2 of the second target character (the candidate character 2), and the existing selection relationship between the first virtual character and the first target character is released.
