[0065] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0066] To better understand the technical solution of this invention, the relevant technologies involved in this invention will be further described in detail below.

[0067] With the development of computer technology and online game technology, in order to satisfy players' desire for a better gaming experience and a greater sense of accomplishment, various games that allow players to control virtual characters will provide the function of changing the virtual character's appearance items.

[0068] For easier understanding, please refer to Figure 1 These are schematic diagrams of graphical user interfaces for common virtual character customization, such as... Figure 1As shown, the graphical user interface for virtual character dressing includes: a player-controlled virtual character 11, a dressing prop type selection bar 12, a dressing prop bar 13, an unlocking identifier 14, and a confirmation control 15.

[0069] The dressing prop type selection bar 12 includes multiple selectable dressing prop types, at least including fashion dressing props, hanging decoration dressing props, and hairstyle dressing props, and the player can select a type from the dressing prop type selection bar 12 to provide the player with dressing props of the type.

[0070] The dressing prop bar 13 includes multiple selectable dressing props, and after selecting a type of dressing prop from the dressing prop type selection bar 12, multiple dressing props of the type can be displayed in the dressing prop bar 13. The dressing prop bar 13 can display the dressing props owned by the virtual character 11, or can select all dressing props provided by the game for the virtual character 11, wherein the virtual character 11 does not own the dressing props, and the unlocking identifier 14 is displayed to indicate that the virtual character 11 currently does not own the dressing prop, and the player can purchase the unlocking of the dressing prop by clicking the unlocking identifier 14. After selecting a target dressing prop from the dressing prop bar 13, the target dressing prop can be confirmed for the virtual character 11 by clicking the confirmation control 15.

[0071] The above dressing prop replacement process of the virtual character is mainly that the player selects a target dressing prop that meets the dressing needs or preferences from the dressing props provided by the game backpack or the prop mall to update the currently configured dressing prop of the virtual character controlled by the player.

[0072] If the player expects the virtual character to be configured with the same or related dressing props as other virtual characters, the player first needs to remember the currently configured dressing props of other virtual characters, or save the currently configured dressing props of other virtual characters in the form of screenshots, and then selects the same or related target dressing prop from the large number of dressing props in the game backpack or the prop mall to replace, resulting in cumbersome operation of the dressing prop replacement process and affecting the game experience of the player.

[0073] To solve the above problems of the prior art, the present application proposes the following technical concept: through the first touch operation on the second virtual character, the target dressing prop in the dressing prop of the second virtual character corresponding to the first touch operation is determined, and the currently configured dressing prop of the first virtual character is updated according to the target dressing prop, so that the dressing prop of the first virtual character can be quickly updated according to the currently configured dressing prop of the second virtual character, the process of the player dressing the first virtual character is simplified, and the game experience of the player is improved.

[0074] On the basis of the foregoing introduction, the virtual character dressing method, device, terminal device and storage medium provided by the present application are described in detail.

[0075] Firstly, the present application provides a virtual character dressing method.

[0076] The virtual character dressing method provided by the present application can run on a local terminal device or a server. When the virtual character dressing 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.

[0077] In an optional embodiment, various cloud applications can run under the cloud interaction system, for example, cloud games. Taking cloud games as an example, cloud games refer to a game mode based on cloud computing. In the running mode of cloud games, the running body of the game program and the presentation body of the game picture are separated, and the storage and running of the virtual character dressing 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 with data transmission function, such as a mobile terminal, a television, a computer, a palm computer, etc. However, the cloud game server in the cloud end performs information processing. When playing the game, the player operates the client device to send 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.

[0078] In an optional embodiment, taking games as an example, the local terminal device stores a game program and is used for presenting a game picture. The local terminal device is used for interacting with the player through a graphical user interface, that is, the conventional game program is downloaded and installed on the terminal device and is run. The way of providing the graphical user interface to the player by the local terminal device can include various ways, for example, the graphical user interface can be rendered and displayed on the display screen of the terminal, or the graphical user interface can be provided to the player through holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device can include a display screen and a processor, the display screen is used for presenting a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface includes a game picture, and the processor is used for running the game, generating the graphical user interface and controlling the display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.

[0079] In a possible embodiment, the present application provides a virtual character dressing method, which provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device, wherein the terminal device can be the aforementioned local terminal device or the aforementioned client device in the cloud interaction system.

[0080] Please refer to Figure 2This is a flowchart of the first embodiment of the virtual character costume changing method described in this invention. Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the virtual character costume changing method includes:

[0081] S10: In response to the first touch operation on the second virtual character, determine the target costume item in the costume items configured for the second virtual character that corresponds to the first touch operation.

[0082] Generally, the terminal device has a game program installed and running that supports virtual character customization. The game targeted in this embodiment can be a multiplayer team game or a single-player competitive game.

[0083] In this embodiment, for multiplayer team games, the first virtual character is a virtual character controlled by the player through a terminal device, and the second virtual character can be a character from the same team as the first virtual character, or a non-player character (NPC) in the game scene; for single-player competitive games, the first virtual character is a virtual character controlled by the player through a terminal, and the second virtual character is an NPC in the game scene.

[0084] In this embodiment, for multiplayer team games that have not yet started, after a player's first virtual character, controlled by a terminal device, successfully teams up with another player's second virtual character, controlled by a terminal device, the game enters the preparation phase. During the preparation phase, the graphical user interface of the terminal device displays the appearance of the first and second virtual characters. The appearance includes the 3D character model of the virtual character and the currently configured cosmetic items on the 3D character model. Cosmetic items may include, for example, clothing, ornaments, hairstyles, and pets carried by the virtual character.

[0085] In multiplayer team games or single-player competitive games that have already started, during gameplay, the graphical user interface (GUI) of the terminal device displays a virtual scene from the perspective of the first virtual character, which also includes the second virtual character. If the player needs to update the costume items currently configured for the first virtual character based on the costume items configured for the second virtual character, they can access the costume adjustment GUI through the costume adjustment controls on the GUI. The GUI displays the appearance of both the first and second virtual characters.

[0086] If a player needs to adjust the costume items of the first virtual character based on the costume items configured for the second virtual character, they can perform a first touch operation on the second virtual character and select the target costume item from the virtual items configured for the second virtual character.

[0087] In an embodiment of the present application, the first touch operation comprises a sliding operation in which a sliding track passes through the second virtual character and a specified region.

[0088] Generally, a plurality of regions with different functions can be included in a graphical user interface, and a function corresponding to each region can be executed by performing a touch operation on the region. In the present embodiment, a specified region is provided in the graphical user interface, and the specified region is used to instruct the first virtual character to update the dressing props. In response to a sliding operation in which a sliding track passes through the second virtual character and the specified region, a target dressing prop corresponding to the first touch operation is determined from the dressing props configured by the second virtual character.

[0089] In a possible implementation, the sliding operation in which the sliding track passes through the second virtual character and the specified region can comprise a sliding operation in which the sliding track slides from the specified region to the second virtual character, or a sliding operation in which the sliding track slides from the second virtual character to the specified region.

[0090] In the present embodiment, in response to the sliding operation in which the sliding track slides from the specified region to the second virtual character, a target dressing prop corresponding to the sliding operation is determined from the dressing props configured by the second virtual character; or in response to the sliding operation in which the sliding track slides from the second virtual character to the specified region, a target dressing prop corresponding to the sliding operation is determined from the dressing props configured by the second virtual character.

[0091] In an embodiment of the present application, the specified region comprises a control region located on the graphical user interface, or a display region of the first virtual character on the graphical user interface.

[0092] In the present embodiment, if the specified region comprises a control region located on the graphical user interface, the control region can be a persistent dressing selection control or a triggered display dressing selection control.

[0093] The persistent dressing selection control is continuously displayed in the corresponding graphical user interface in a graphical user interface in a preparation stage, or in a graphical user interface entered in a game process. For the persistent dressing selection control, the first touch operation can be a sliding operation in which the sliding track directly slides from the dressing selection control to the second virtual character, or a sliding operation in which the sliding track directly slides from the second virtual character to the dressing selection control.

[0094] The display of the dress-up selection control is triggered in the graphical user interface in the preparation stage, or in the graphical user interface of the dress-up adjustment entered during the game process, and the dress-up selection control is not displayed, but needs to be triggered to display the dress-up selection control in a specified area of the graphical user interface by touch operation on the second virtual character. For the triggered display of the dress-up selection control, the first touch operation can be: a long press operation on the second virtual character, so that after the long press operation triggers the display of the dress-up selection control in the specified area, a sliding operation to the dress-up selection control is performed continuously after the long press operation.

[0095] For example, refer to Figure 3 The interface schematic diagram of the graphical user interface for displaying the dress-up selection control provided by the present application is as follows: Figure 3 As described above, the graphical user interface includes the first virtual character 111 and at least one second virtual character 112, and the dress-up selection control 113 is displayed in the specified area of the second virtual character 112. The dress-up selection control 113 can be a resident dress-up selection control or a triggered display dress-up selection control. If the dress-up selection control 113 is a resident dress-up selection control, the specified area of each second virtual character 112 displays the dress-up selection control 113; if the dress-up selection control 113 is a triggered display dress-up selection control, only the specified area of the triggered second virtual character 112 displays the dress-up selection control 113, Figure 3 Only one dress-up selection control 113 is exemplified, but the display mode of the dress-up selection control 113 of the present embodiment is not limited.

[0096] If the specified area includes the display area of the first virtual character on the graphical user interface, the first touch operation can be a sliding operation from the second virtual character to the first virtual character, and in response to the sliding operation from the second virtual character to the first virtual character, the target dress-up prop corresponding to the sliding operation in the dress-up prop configured by the second virtual character is determined.

[0097] S30: updating the currently configured dress-up prop of the first virtual character according to the target dress-up prop.

[0098] In the present embodiment, the first virtual character and the second virtual character can be the same virtual character or different virtual characters. According to the difference between the first virtual character and the second virtual character, the most suitable dress-up prop for the first virtual character can be selected from the dress-up props provided by the game according to the target dress-up prop, and the currently configured dress-up prop of the first virtual character is updated to the selected dress-up prop, thereby completing the quick dressing of the first virtual character.

[0099] Through steps S10 and S30, the virtual character dressing method provided by the application selects the target dressing prop from the dressing props configured for the second virtual character according to the first touch operation on the second virtual character, so that the first virtual character can quickly update the currently configured dressing prop according to the target dressing prop, simplifies the dressing process of the virtual character, and improves the game experience of the player.

[0100] Based on the above embodiments of the application, a second embodiment of the virtual character dressing method is further provided.

[0101] Please refer to Figure 4 , the method flowchart of the second embodiment of the virtual character dressing method. As Figure 4 shown, the virtual character dressing method in this embodiment includes steps S11 and S30, wherein step S30 is the same as the first embodiment described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0102] S11: in response to the first touch operation on the second virtual character, determining the dressing prop corresponding to the touch position as the target dressing prop based on the touch position of the first touch operation on the second virtual character; wherein the touch position includes the whole of the second virtual character or a local part of the second virtual character.

[0103] In this embodiment, the touch position of the first touch operation on the second virtual character can be determined according to the sliding track of the first operation. If the sliding track passes through at least two virtual parts of the second virtual character, it is determined that the touch position includes the whole of the second virtual character; if the sliding track only passes through one virtual part of the second virtual character, it is determined that the touch position includes a local part of the second virtual character. Wherein, the virtual part is the body part of the virtual character, for example, including the head, upper body, leg and foot of the virtual character.

[0104] In this embodiment, if the touch position includes the whole of the second virtual character, it is determined that all the dressing props configured for the second virtual character are the target dressing props; if the touch position includes a local part of the second virtual character, it is determined that the dressing prop configured for the local part of the second virtual character is the target dressing prop.

[0105] S30: updating the currently configured dressing prop of the first virtual character according to the target dressing prop.

[0106] By the steps S11 and S30, the virtual character dressing method provided by the application determines the dressing props corresponding to the touch position as the target dressing props based on the touch position on the second virtual character, if the touch position includes the whole second virtual character, the target dressing props are all the dressing props configured for the second virtual character, if the touch position includes the partial part of the second virtual character, the target dressing props are the dressing props configured for the partial part of the second virtual character, so as to realize the quick dressing of the first virtual character according to the whole dressing props or the partial dressing props of the second virtual character, provide two different dressing ways for the player, and improve the game experience of the player.

[0107] Based on the above embodiment of the application, a third embodiment of the virtual character dressing method is further provided.

[0108] Please refer to Figure 5 , the method flowchart of the third embodiment of the virtual character dressing method. As Figure 5 shown, the virtual character dressing method includes steps S10, S20 and S31, wherein the step S10 is the same as the first embodiment, and it is to be noted that the step S10 of the embodiment can be replaced by S11 in the second embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0109] S10: in response to the first touch operation on the second virtual character, determining the target dressing props corresponding to the first touch operation from the dressing props configured for the second virtual character.

[0110] S20: displaying the target dressing props and the equipment control corresponding to the target dressing props.

[0111] Generally, when the player updates the current configured dressing props of the virtual character, the player can select the target dressing props from the multiple dressing props in the dressing prop bar 13 to render and display the effect of the virtual character configured with the target dressing props on the graphical user interface, and if the player is satisfied with the display effect of the target dressing props, the player can confirm to update the current configured dressing props of the virtual character to the target dressing props through the confirmation control 15. The process needs to select the target dressing props to view the dressing effect first, and then confirm to dress the target virtual props through the confirmation control, and the dressing process is complex.

[0112] In this embodiment, after determining the target dressing prop corresponding to the first touch operation from the dressing props configured for the second virtual character, the target dressing prop and the equipment control corresponding to the target dressing prop are displayed on the graphical user interface. If the player clicks the equipment control, the current configured dressing prop of the first virtual character can be directly updated to the same or related dressing prop as the target dressing prop, without the player needing to confirm again whether dressing is needed. If the dressing effect of the target dressing prop is not satisfactory, the dressing can also be cancelled to restore the previously configured dressing prop of the first virtual character.

[0113] In an embodiment of the present application, if the target dressing prop is all the dressing props configured for the second virtual character, all the dressing props configured for the second virtual character can be displayed in the form of a complete set of dressing props, and the complete set of dressing props corresponds to one assembly control. For example, referring to FIG. 6(a), a display schematic diagram of a target dressing prop provided by the present application is shown in FIG. 6(a), which displays a complete set of dressing props 114 configured for the second virtual character and one assembly control 115. Through the clicking operation on the assembly control, the current configured dressing prop of the first virtual character can be updated to the same or related complete set of dressing props as the complete set of dressing props.

[0114] In another embodiment of the present application, if the target dressing prop is all the dressing props configured for the second virtual character, all the dressing props configured for the second virtual character can be independently displayed according to the parts, and each part has a corresponding assembly control. For example, referring to FIG. 6(b), another display schematic diagram of a target dressing prop provided by the present application is shown in FIG. 6(b), which displays a plurality of part dressing props configured for the second virtual character and a plurality of assembly controls. The plurality of part dressing props can include, for example, hairstyle, hair accessory, upper garment, lower garment, shoes, jewelry, etc. Through the clicking operation on any one or more assembly controls, the current configured dressing prop of the same part as the selected dressing prop of the first virtual character can be updated to the same or related dressing prop as the selected dressing prop.

[0115] In yet another embodiment of the present application, if the target dressing prop is a dressing prop of a local part of the second virtual character, only the dressing prop of the part and the corresponding assembly control are displayed, and the display manner is the same as that of FIG. 6(b), but only the dressing prop of one part and the corresponding assembly control are displayed. Through the clicking operation on the assembly control, the current configured dressing prop of the same part as the dressing prop of the first virtual character can be updated to the same or related dressing prop as the dressing prop.

[0116] S31: in response to the triggering operation on the equipment control, controlling to configure the first dressing prop same as the target dressing prop on the first virtual character.

[0117] If the target dressing prop is a prop that can be dressed by all virtual characters in the game, a first dressing prop same as the target dressing prop is selected from the equipment props owned by the first virtual character based on the triggering operation on the equipment control, and the dressing prop currently configured by the first virtual character is updated to the first dressing prop.

[0118] In an embodiment of the present application, if the first virtual character lacks the first dressing prop, a way information of sliding the first dressing prop is provided on the graphical user interface.

[0119] Generally, the game provides a plurality of dressing props, and the player needs to obtain different dressing props by purchasing or completing tasks. In response to the triggering operation of the equipment control acting on the target dressing prop, it is determined whether the first virtual character uses the first dressing prop same as the target dressing prop. If the first virtual character lacks the first dressing prop, an acquisition interface of the first dressing prop can be displayed on the graphical user interface, which can be a prop purchase mall in the game. The player can purchase the first dressing prop in the acquisition interface.

[0120] Through the above steps S10, S20 and S31, the virtual character dressing method provided by the present application displays the target dressing prop and the equipment control corresponding to the target dressing prop on the graphical user interface, so as to control the configuration of the first dressing prop same as the target dressing prop on the first virtual character through the triggering operation of the player on the equipment control, so that the first virtual character can be quickly dressed with the same dressing prop as the second virtual character. The dressing process of the virtual character is simplified, and the game experience of the player is improved.

[0121] Based on the above embodiments of the present application, a fourth embodiment of the virtual character dressing method of the present application is further proposed.

[0122] Please refer to Figure 7 for the method flowchart of the fourth embodiment of the virtual character dressing method of the present application. As Figure 7 shown, the virtual character dressing method in the present embodiment includes steps S10, S20 and S32, wherein step S10 is the same as the first embodiment described above, and step S20 is the same as the third embodiment described above. It should be noted that step S10 of the present embodiment can also be replaced by S11 in the second embodiment described above, which will not be described here.

[0123] S10: In response to the first touch operation on the second virtual character, the target dressing prop corresponding to the first touch operation in the dressing prop configured by the second virtual character is determined.

[0124] S20: Display the target dressing prop and the equipment control corresponding to the target dressing prop.

[0125] S32: in response to a trigger operation on the equipment control, control the second dressing prop corresponding to the target dressing prop to be configured on the first virtual role.

[0126] Generally, specific dressing props designed for different virtual roles are included in the game, and the dressing props of different virtual roles can be of the same theme, the same style, for example, dressing props of a specific holiday theme designed for different virtual roles at the specific holiday, or dressing props of a national style designed for different virtual roles, and each virtual role can only configure its own dressing prop and cannot configure the dressing prop of other virtual roles.

[0127] In this embodiment, based on the trigger operation on the equipment control for the target dressing prop, the second dressing prop with the highest similarity to the target dressing prop is selected from the dressing props owned by the first virtual role according to the attribute information of the target dressing prop and the attribute information of the dressing props owned by the first virtual role. For example, the attribute information of the dressing prop can be the color, type, theme or style of the dressing prop, and the second dressing prop can be a dressing prop of the same color, type, theme or style as the target dressing prop.

[0128] Through the above steps S10, S20 and S32, the virtual role dressing method provided by the application can configure the second dressing prop corresponding to the target dressing prop for the first virtual role according to the target dressing prop configured by the second virtual role, so that the first virtual role can quickly change to a dressing prop of the same type, theme or style as the target dressing prop, simplifying the virtual role dressing process and improving the game experience of the player.

[0129] Based on the above embodiments of the application, a fifth embodiment of the virtual role dressing method of the application is further proposed.

[0130] After determining the first dressing prop or the second dressing prop according to the target dressing prop, a dressing adjustment control is displayed on the graphical user interface, and in response to a trigger operation on the dressing adjustment control, the appearance of the first dressing prop or the second dressing prop is adjusted.

[0131] Generally, in addition to specific dressing games, although the game provides the function of dressing the virtual role for the player, the virtual role can only configure the dressing prop specified in the game, and cannot adjust the appearance of the dressing prop according to the player's own preference, greatly limiting the experience effect of the player.

[0132] In the embodiment, before the first virtual character is determined to be configured with the first dressing prop or the second dressing prop, or after the first virtual character is configured with the first dressing prop or the second dressing prop, a dressing adjustment control is displayed on the graphical user interface, and the dressing adjustment control can include at least one adjustable option, which can include color, size, or style. The color, size, or style of the first dressing prop or the second dressing prop can be adjusted through the adjustable option to configure the first virtual character with a more personalized dressing prop, thereby improving the game experience of the player.

[0133] Based on the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application, a sixth embodiment of the virtual character dressing method of the present application is further provided.

[0134] In response to the sliding operation of sliding the second virtual character to the third virtual character, the third virtual character is sent dressing reminding information.

[0135] Generally, in a multi-player team game, according to the tactical needs of the game or the preferences of the players, the virtual characters controlled by the players can need to be configured with uniform dressing props. The players often communicate with each other through voice or text to select the dressing props, and then each player obtains the corresponding dressing prop from the respective backpack or the prop market. Such dressing method is low in efficiency and affects the game experience of the players.

[0136] In the embodiment, after the first virtual character is dressed by the player through the above-mentioned example, the third virtual character can also be reminded to be dressed to ensure the uniformity of the clothes among the team. In response to the sliding operation of sliding the second virtual character to the third virtual character, the third virtual character is sent dressing reminding information, and the dressing reminding information is used to remind the third virtual character to update the dressing prop of the third virtual character according to the dressing prop of the second virtual character. The second virtual character is a virtual character controlled by any player or an NPC, and the third virtual character is a virtual character controlled by another player. After receiving the dressing reminding information, the player controlling the third virtual character quickly dresses the third virtual character by using the virtual character dressing method provided in the foregoing embodiments.
