[0072] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present application, but only represents selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, every other embodiment obtained by a person skilled in the art without creative work falls within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0073] Game scene:

[0074] The game scene is displayed (or provided) by an application when the application is running on a terminal or a server. Optionally, the game scene is a simulation environment of the real world, or a virtual environment that is half-simulated and half-fictional, or a purely fictional virtual environment. The game 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 game scene is a scene for complete game logic of a virtual character controlled by a user, etc.

[0075] Virtual character:

[0076] The dynamic object refers to a controllable dynamic object in a game scene. Optionally, the dynamic object can be a virtual character, a virtual animal, an animation character, etc. The virtual object is a character controlled by a player through an input device, or an artificial intelligence (AI) set in a virtual environment for a battle, or a non-player character (NPC) set in a game scene for a battle. Optionally, the virtual character is a virtual character for a competition in a game scene. Optionally, the number of virtual characters in the game scene battle is preset, or is dynamically determined according to the number of clients joining the battle, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. In a possible implementation manner, the user can control the virtual object to move in the virtual scene, for example, control the virtual character to run, jump, crawl, etc., and can also control the virtual character to use skills, virtual props, etc. provided by an application program to fight with other virtual characters.

[0077] The prop picking method in an embodiment of the present disclosure can run on a terminal device or a server. The terminal device can be a local terminal device. When the prop picking method runs on the server, the prop picking method can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interaction system, wherein the cloud interaction system includes a server and a client device.

[0078] 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 information processing method are completed on the cloud game server. The client device is used for receiving and sending data and presenting a game picture. For example, the client device can be a display device close to the user side with a data transmission function, such as a mobile terminal, a television, a computer, a palm computer, etc. However, the terminal device for information processing is the cloud game server in the cloud. 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.

[0079] In an optional embodiment, the terminal device can be a local terminal device. Taking a game as an example, the local terminal device stores a game program and is used to present a game picture. The local terminal device is used to interact with a player through a graphical user interface, that is, 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 player in various ways, for example, can render display on a display screen of the terminal, or is provided to the player through holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device can include a display screen used to present a graphical user interface including a game picture, and a processor used to run the game, generate the graphical user interface, and control display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.

[0080] It is found through research that in some games, a virtual weapon or other virtual props used by a virtual character controlled by a player needs to be matched with other virtual props to be used; or the virtual weapon used by the virtual character has a better attack effect when matched with other virtual props. At this time, the player needs to control the virtual character to blindly search for each position in a game scene to obtain the virtual props that the player wants to pick up. Since the player has no idea about the position of the virtual props that the player wants to obtain, the player needs to search for places in the game where the virtual props can be stored to obtain the virtual props that the player wants to pick up. Therefore, the player has to spend a lot of time on searching for the props.

[0081] In addition, in some special cases, the carrier of the virtual props that the player wants to pick up can be another virtual character controlled by another player or a non-player character in the game. If the player still searches for the storage position to obtain the virtual props that the player wants to pick up at this time, the player cannot obtain the virtual props that the player wants to pick up. Therefore, after spending a lot of time searching, the player can still not use the virtual weapon that the player wants to use.

[0082] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a prop picking method, which can display the position of a second virtual prop that can be matched with a first virtual prop and that the player wants to pick up to the player, so as to achieve the purpose of assisting in searching for the second virtual prop, thereby being able to reduce the time spent by the player in searching for the second virtual prop.

[0083] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flowchart of a prop picking method provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. 1. In the graphical user interface, part or all of a game scene is displayed, as shown in FIG. 2. Figure 1 The prop picking method provided by the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps.

[0084] S101, in response to a selection operation for the first virtual prop, display prompt information of a second virtual prop in the graphical user interface; wherein the prompt information is used to prompt the player about the position of the second virtual prop in the game scene; the second virtual prop is a virtual prop used in combination with the first virtual prop.

[0085] S102, in response to movement of the virtual character in the game scene, update the prompt information.

[0086] In the scheme provided in the present application, in response to the selection operation for the first virtual prop, specifically, when the player presses the selection key corresponding to the selection operation, the selection instruction for the first virtual prop can be issued; wherein the user can issue the selection operation instruction through the selection key and / or the preset combination key; specifically, the player can select the key through the finger, mouse, etc. The preset combination key, such as the ctrl key, alt key, a key, etc. in the keyboard, can be set artificially according to the player's demand.

[0087] Here, the first virtual prop can be a virtual prop stored in the virtual backpack of the virtual character controlled by the player; it can also be a virtual prop in a ready-to-pick state that appears near the virtual character and can be picked up by the player; or it can also be a virtual prop stored in a virtual store set in the game and can be purchased by the player, etc.

[0088] In an embodiment, the response to the selection operation for the first virtual prop includes: in response to the selection operation for the first virtual prop stored in the virtual backpack of the virtual character; and / or, in response to the selection operation for the first virtual prop in the ready-to-pick state.

[0089] Here, when the first virtual prop is a virtual prop stored in the virtual backpack of the virtual character, in response to the selection operation for the first virtual prop stored in the virtual backpack of the virtual character, specifically, first, the player can open the virtual backpack by clicking the virtual backpack control in the graphical user interface, at this time, the graphical user interface can display all virtual props stored in the virtual backpack; secondly, the player can select the first virtual prop from all displayed virtual props and apply the selection operation to the first virtual prop.

[0090] In the second embodiment, in order to reduce the display content displayed in the graphical user interface, only the virtual prop lacking the combination use prop in the virtual backpack of the virtual character can be displayed in the graphical user interface.

[0091] In the third implementation, in order to further reduce the operation process of the player, a prop storage column can be displayed in the graphical user interface, when the player picks up a virtual prop that lacks a prop for use in combination, the virtual prop can be displayed in the prop storage column, at this time, the player does not need to perform the operation of opening the virtual backpack, and can directly apply a selection operation to the first virtual prop.

[0092] When the first virtual prop is a virtual prop in a to-be-picked-up state, the virtual prop in the to-be-picked-up state is displayed in the graphical user interface in a selectable form, for example, a dropped virtual pistol, bullets in a virtual store, and a medical kit, and the like, at this time, when the player determines the first virtual prop to be picked up, the player can complete the picking up of the first virtual prop while applying a selection operation to the first virtual prop.

[0093] Here, the selection operation can be a sliding operation or a clicking operation.

[0094] The prompt information can include one or more of the position coordinates of the target virtual object, the relative distance between the virtual character and the target virtual object, the moving path and direction identifier of the virtual character moving to the target virtual object, and the display special effect for highlighting the target virtual object. The prompt information is used to prompt the player to the position of the second virtual prop that can be used in combination with the first virtual prop in the game scene, and the player can quickly find the second virtual prop in the game scene according to the prompt information.

[0095] The target virtual object refers to an object carrying the second virtual prop in the game, which can specifically include any one of a virtual building, a virtual character controlled by another player, a non-player-controlled virtual character, a virtual plant, and a virtual store.

[0096] Here, the second virtual prop that can be used in combination with the first virtual prop refers to that the first virtual prop and the second virtual prop are the same prop set, that is, the player wants to use the prop set to which the first virtual prop belongs, and needs to collect each virtual prop in the prop set, for example, the prop set is a defense equipment set for a virtual character, which includes head armor, neck armor, wrist armor, and leg armor, and the like, and the player wants to equip the defense equipment set to the virtual character, and must collect all the armors in the prop set to use the defense equipment set, therefore, in the case that the player only picks up the head armor, the player needs to continue to find the neck armor, wrist armor, and leg armor that belong to the same defense equipment set as the head armor.

[0097] Alternatively, the second virtual prop is an accessory of the first virtual prop, i.e., the second virtual prop needs to be assembled to the first virtual prop for use, for example, the first virtual prop is a virtual knife, and the second virtual prop is a soul jade embedded in the virtual prop, and the player needs to embed the soul jade into the virtual knife to improve the attack power of the virtual knife; here, the first virtual prop has two cases, the first, when the player only has the first virtual prop, the first virtual prop cannot be used; the second, when the player uses the first virtual prop alone, the attack power of the first virtual prop is weak and cannot give other virtual characters in battle with the virtual character absolute advantage in damage, and the second virtual prop is needed to improve the attack power of the first virtual prop; therefore, in the case that the player only has the first virtual prop, the second virtual prop needs to be found to improve the use effect of the first virtual prop and the battle strength of the virtual character;

[0098] Alternatively, the first virtual prop is an accessory of the second virtual prop, i.e., the first virtual prop needs to be assembled to the second virtual prop for use, for example, the first virtual prop is a soul jade, and the second virtual prop is a virtual prop that can embed the soul jade, and the player wants to use the soul jade and needs to embed it into the virtual knife; here, when the player only has the first virtual prop (soul jade), the first virtual prop cannot be used, therefore, the player needs to find the use carrier of the first virtual prop, i.e., the second virtual prop (virtual knife).

[0099] In step S101, when the player selects the first virtual prop, the prompt information of the second virtual prop that can be used with the first virtual prop can be displayed in the graphical user interface to achieve the purpose of prompting the player.

[0100] In an embodiment, the selection operation is a sliding operation, and step S101 includes: in response to the start of the sliding operation, determining the virtual prop at the starting touch position of the sliding operation as the first virtual prop; and in response to the end of the sliding operation, if the ending touch position of the sliding operation is located in a preset touch area, displaying the prompt information of the second virtual prop in the graphical user interface.

[0101] In this step, a preset touch area is pre-set in the graphical user interface, when the player applies a sliding operation in the graphical user interface, in response to the start of the sliding operation, the starting touch position of the sliding operation is determined, and the virtual prop at the starting touch position is determined as the first virtual prop; and in response to the end of the sliding operation, the ending touch position of the sliding operation is determined, if the ending touch position is located in the preset touch area pre-set, the prompt information of the second virtual prop used with the first virtual prop is displayed in the graphical user interface; if the ending touch position is located outside the preset touch area, the prompt information of the second virtual prop is abandoned in the graphical user interface.

[0102] In the sliding process of the sliding operation, the virtual identifier corresponding to the first virtual prop moves along with the sliding operation, so as to remind the player of the real-time sliding position of the sliding operation.

[0103] As an example, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 is one of the graphical user interfaces provided by the embodiments of the present application. As shown in Figure 2 , the graphical user interface 2a displays a prop storage column 2b, and the prop storage column 2b displays a plurality of virtual props 2c-1-2c-n of missing matching use props which have been stored in the virtual backpack of the virtual character. In response to the sliding operation applied to the virtual prop 2c-1 (at this time, the virtual prop 2c-1 is the first virtual prop), the virtual identifier 2d of the virtual prop 2c-1 moves along with the sliding operation in the application process of the sliding operation. When the virtual identifier 2d is located in the preset touch control area 2e, the end of the sliding operation, the prompt information 2f of the second virtual prop which is used in combination with the virtual prop 2c-1 is displayed in the graphical user interface 2a. Specifically, the position coordinates of the second virtual prop, the name of the target virtual object to which the second virtual prop belongs, etc. can be displayed.

[0104] In another embodiment, the selection operation is a click operation, and step S101 includes: if the first virtual prop can be used alone without the second virtual prop, selecting the first virtual prop in response to the click operation, and displaying the prompt information of the second virtual prop in the graphical user interface; if the first virtual prop cannot be used alone without the second virtual prop, displaying the prompt information of the second virtual prop in the graphical user interface in response to the click operation.

[0105] Here, the first virtual prop is divided into two cases: the first case is that the first virtual prop can be used alone without the second virtual prop. At this time, the first virtual prop can be selected by the click operation. Specifically, the virtual prop at the click position of the click operation can be determined as the first virtual prop, and the prompt information of the second virtual prop which can be used in combination with the first virtual prop is displayed in the graphical user interface. Wherein, selecting the first virtual prop means that the prop information of the first virtual prop can be viewed; and / or, the first virtual prop is used to assemble the virtual character.

[0106] The second case is that the first virtual prop cannot be used alone without the second virtual prop. At this time, in response to the click operation, the prompt information of the second virtual prop which needs to be matched with the first virtual prop is displayed in the graphical user interface. In this case, the prop information of the first virtual prop can also be displayed in the graphical user interface, so that the player can understand the use of the first virtual prop.

[0107] Since it's difficult to display the entire game scene in the graphical user interface (GUI), there may be situations where the second virtual item is located outside the game scene displayed by the GUI. To avoid missing the display of the second virtual item's prompt information, in one embodiment, displaying the prompt information of the second virtual item in the GUI includes: determining the relative position between the first virtual item and the second virtual item; determining whether the second virtual item is located in the game scene displayed by the GUI based on the relative position; if the second virtual item is located in the game scene displayed by the GUI, then displaying the prompt information overlaid on the target virtual object carrying the second virtual item; if the second virtual item is located outside the game scene displayed by the GUI, then displaying the prompt information in the GUI at a position close to the second virtual character.

[0108] In some games, such as massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs), the game scenes are so large that they cannot all be displayed simultaneously in the graphical user interface. In such cases, there are two possibilities regarding the second virtual item that the player is looking for:

[0109] In the first scenario, if the target virtual object carrying the second virtual item is located in the game scene displayed by the graphical user interface, the prompt information indicating the location of the second virtual item can be directly overlaid on the target virtual object.

[0110] For example, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a second schematic diagram of a graphical user interface provided as an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 3 As shown, a target virtual object 3b carrying a second virtual item is displayed in the graphical user interface 3a. A prompt message 3c is overlaid on the target virtual object 3b to inform the player of the location of the second virtual item.

[0111] The second scenario involves a target virtual object carrying a second virtual item located outside the game scene displayed in the graphical user interface. In this case, it is not possible to display the prompt information by overlaying it. However, in order to achieve the same purpose of prompting the player, the prompt information is displayed in the graphical user interface near the second virtual item.

[0112] For example, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a third schematic diagram of a graphical user interface provided as an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 4As shown, the target virtual object carrying the second virtual item is displayed in the graphical user interface 4a. If the second virtual item is located in the northeast direction of the virtual character controlled by the player, the prompt information 4b of the second virtual item will be displayed in the northeast direction of the graphical user interface 4a.

[0113] When there are multiple second virtual items that can be used together with the first virtual item, the order in which each second virtual item is picked up may be related to the status of the virtual character controlled by the player. For example, when the second virtual item is on another virtual character controlled by another player, the virtual character cannot obtain the second virtual item from the other virtual character because the virtual character's level is too low. In this case, the virtual character needs to pick up other second virtual items first, and then wait until its own level reaches a certain level before picking up the second virtual item on the other virtual character controlled by the other player.

[0114] In one implementation, when multiple second virtual items exist, displaying prompts for the second virtual items in the graphical user interface includes: determining the pickup order for each second virtual character based on the item attribute information of the first virtual item and / or the character attribute information of the virtual character; and displaying prompts for each second virtual item in the graphical user interface according to the pickup order, so that the player can find each second virtual item one by one in the pickup order.

[0115] In this step, the pickup order of each second virtual item can be determined in advance based on the item attribute information of the first virtual item and / or the character attribute information of the virtual character controlled by the player. Here, the pickup order indicates the pickup priority of each second virtual item; the earlier the pickup order, the higher the pickup priority of the second virtual item. The pickup order can also indicate the urgency of picking up each second virtual item. For example, the second virtual item related to the game task being performed by the virtual character has the highest pickup urgency, that is, the second virtual item with the earlier pickup order has the higher pickup urgency. Alternatively, if the virtual character currently has low defense capabilities, then the most needed thing is to improve the virtual character's defense capabilities. Therefore, among multiple second virtual items, the second virtual item that can improve the virtual character's defense capabilities has a higher pickup order. Alternatively, the pickup order of each second virtual item can be determined according to the player's settings. For example, if the player is used to prioritizing picking up attack-type virtual items, then among multiple second virtual items, the second virtual item with attack attributes has a higher pickup order.

[0116] In step S102, after the player learns the prompt information of the second virtual prop, the player controls the virtual character to go to pick up the second virtual prop. At this time, the position of the virtual character changes, and accordingly, the prompt information of the second virtual prop also changes. Therefore, the prompt information for prompting the position of the second virtual prop is updated in real time in response to the movement of the virtual character in the game scene.

[0117] Specifically, updating the prompt information includes updating one or more of the relative distance between the virtual character and the target virtual object, the moving path of the virtual character moving to the target virtual object, and the direction identifier in the prompt information.

[0118] The prop picking method provided by the embodiments of the present application displays prompt information of a second virtual prop in the graphical user interface in response to a selection operation on a first virtual prop, wherein the prompt information is used to prompt a player about the position of the second virtual prop in the game scene; the second virtual prop is a virtual prop that can be used in combination with the first virtual prop; and the prompt information is updated in real time in response to the movement of the virtual character in the game scene. In this way, the position of the second virtual prop that can be used in combination with the first virtual prop and that the player wants to pick up can be displayed to the player, and the prompt information for prompting the player is updated in real time along with the movement of the virtual character in the game scene, so as to achieve the purpose of assisting in searching for the second virtual prop, thereby reducing the time spent by the player in searching for the second virtual prop.
