Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of computers, and more specifically, to a method and apparatus for switching the display color of a virtual character. Background Technology

[0002] In the relevant game scenarios, the differences between the environmental materials and the virtual characters' materials are minimal, and the color schemes of the virtual character models and the virtual environment are also relatively similar. Especially in large-scale map game modes, where many mid-to-long-range battles occur, the overly similar color schemes of the virtual character models and the environment make it difficult for players to distinguish enemy virtual characters within the virtual game environment. This increases the difficulty of target acquisition and aiming, and reduces the accuracy of virtual shooting in the virtual game environment.

[0003] There is currently no effective solution to the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a method and apparatus for switching the display color of a virtual character, in order to at least solve the technical problem of low accuracy in virtual shooting in related virtual game scenes.

[0005] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this application, a method for switching the display color of a virtual character is provided, comprising: displaying a second virtual character of a first color in the game screen of a first virtual character, wherein the first virtual character and the second virtual character belong to different factions; when the first virtual character performs a virtual shooting operation on the second virtual character, and the virtual shooting operation satisfies the condition for switching the display color of the second virtual character, displaying the second virtual character of a second color in the game screen of the first virtual character, wherein the color difference between the second color and the color of a first scene object is greater than the color difference between the first color and the color of the first scene object, and the first scene object is a virtual object adjacent to the second virtual character in a first virtual scene where the second virtual character is located.

[0008] Optionally, after displaying the second virtual character of the second color in the game screen of the first virtual character, the method further includes: if the second virtual character moves from the first virtual scene to a third virtual scene and the difference between the second color and the color of the object in the third scene meets a preset difference condition, then the second virtual character of the second color continues to be displayed in the game screen of the first virtual character, wherein the color of the object in the third scene is the color of the virtual object adjacent to the second virtual character in the third virtual scene where the second virtual character is located.

[0009] Optionally, the method further includes: when the second virtual character moves from its current position to a target position, controlling the target detection range of the second virtual character to change from a first detection range to a second detection range, wherein the distance between the current position and the position of the first virtual character is a first distance, the distance between the target position and the position of the first virtual character is a second distance, when the first distance is greater than the second distance, the detection range of the first detection range is greater than the detection range of the second detection range, and when the first distance is less than the second distance, the detection range of the first detection range is less than the detection range of the second detection range.

[0010] Optionally, the method further includes: when a virtual shooting operation performed by the first virtual character on the second virtual character hits the hit detection range of the second virtual character, deducting a preset number of virtual resources of the second virtual character, wherein the detection range of the hit detection range is less than or equal to the detection range of the target detection range, and the hit detection range is located within the target detection range.

[0011] Optionally, when the first virtual character performs a virtual shooting operation on the second virtual character, and the virtual shooting operation satisfies the condition of switching the display color of the second virtual character, displaying the second virtual character of the second color in the game screen of the first virtual character further includes: when the first virtual character performs a virtual shooting operation on the second virtual character, and the virtual shooting operation satisfies the condition of switching the display color of the second virtual character, obtaining the color of a virtual object adjacent to the second virtual character in the first virtual scene; obtaining the second color from a preset color set, wherein the second color has the greatest difference from the obtained color of the virtual object in the preset color set; switching the display color of the second virtual character from the first color to the second color, and displaying the second virtual character of the second color in the game screen of the first virtual character.

[0013] Optionally, obtaining the color of the virtual object closest to the second virtual character in the first virtual scene includes: emitting multiple detection rays from the center position of the second virtual character in various directions; determining the virtual object closest to the center position of the second virtual character among the multiple virtual objects collided by the multiple detection rays, and obtaining the color of the virtual object closest to the center position of the second virtual character.

[0014] According to another aspect of the embodiments of this application, a device for switching the display color of a virtual character is also provided, comprising: a first display module, configured to display a second virtual character of a first color in the game screen of a first virtual character, wherein the first virtual character and the second virtual character belong to different factions; and a second display module, configured to display a second virtual character of a second color in the game screen of the first virtual character when the first virtual character performs a virtual shooting operation on the second virtual character and the virtual shooting operation satisfies the condition of switching the display color of the second virtual character, wherein the color difference between the second color and the color of a first scene object is greater than the color difference between the first color and the color of the first scene object, wherein the first scene object is a virtual object adjacent to the second virtual character in the first virtual scene where the second virtual character is located.

[0016] According to another aspect of the embodiments of this application, a computer program product or computer program is provided, which includes computer instructions stored in a computer-readable storage medium. A processor of a computer device reads the computer instructions from the computer-readable storage medium and executes the computer instructions, causing the computer device to perform a method for switching the display color of a virtual character as described above.

[0017] According to another aspect of the embodiments of this application, an electronic device is also provided, including a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program, and the processor is configured to execute the above-described method for switching the display color of a virtual character through the computer program.

[0018] In this embodiment, the first virtual character and the second virtual character belong to different factions. The first virtual character performs a virtual shooting operation on the second virtual character. When this virtual shooting operation satisfies the condition of switching the display color of the second virtual character, the color of the second virtual character is switched from the first color to the second color, and the second virtual character of the second color is displayed in the game screen of the first virtual character. Since the virtual objects adjacent to the second virtual character in the first virtual scene are objects of the first scene, the color difference between the second color and the first scene objects is greater than the color difference between the first color and the first scene objects. This increases the color difference between the second virtual character and the virtual objects adjacent to the second virtual character in the first virtual scene, making it easier for the player to identify the second virtual character. This achieves the goal of increasing the color difference between the second virtual character and the adjacent virtual objects, making it easier to identify the second virtual character, thereby improving the accuracy of virtual shooting in the virtual game scene and solving the technical problem of low accuracy of virtual shooting in related virtual game scenes.

[0039] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0040] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0041] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this application, a method for switching the display color of a virtual character is provided. Optionally, as an optional implementation, the above-mentioned method for switching the display color of a virtual character can be applied to, but is not limited to, [examples of other methods]. Figure 1 The environment shown above includes user equipment 102, network 110, and server 112. User equipment 102 includes a memory 104, a processor 106, and a display 108. The memory stores game data, the processor processes the game data, and the display shows the game visuals.

[0042] Optionally, in this embodiment, the user equipment can be a terminal device configured with a target client, which may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: mobile phone (such as Android phone, iOS phone, etc.), laptop computer, tablet computer, PDA, MID (Mobile Internet Device), PAD, desktop computer, smart TV, etc. The target client may be a video client, instant messaging client, browser client, game client, etc.

[0043] Optionally, the aforementioned network 110 may include, but is not limited to, wired networks and wireless networks, wherein the wired network includes local area networks, metropolitan area networks and wide area networks, and the wireless network includes Bluetooth, WIFI and other networks that enable wireless communication.

[0044] Optionally, the server 112 includes a database 114 and a processing engine 116, wherein the database is used to store game data and the processing engine is used to process the game data.

[0045] The server mentioned above can be a single server, a server cluster consisting of multiple servers, or a cloud server. The above is merely an example, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations on it.

[0046] Alternatively, as an alternative implementation method, such as Figure 2 As shown, the methods for switching the display color of the aforementioned virtual character include:

[0047] Step S202: Display a second virtual character of the first color in the game screen of the first virtual character, wherein the first virtual character and the second virtual character belong to different factions;

[0048] Among them, the first virtual character and the second virtual character are virtual characters controlled by different players in the virtual game scene. The first virtual character and the second virtual character belong to different factions and are hostile to each other in the virtual game scene.

[0049] Step S204: When the first virtual character performs a virtual shooting operation on the second virtual character and the virtual shooting operation satisfies the condition of switching the display color of the second virtual character, the second virtual character of the second color is displayed in the game screen of the first virtual character. The difference between the second color and the color of the first scene object is greater than the difference between the first color and the color of the first scene object. The first scene object is a virtual object adjacent to the second virtual character in the first virtual scene where the second virtual character is located.

[0050] As an optional implementation, this solution can be applied to virtual shooting game scenarios. The virtual shooting involved in this application refers to shooting operations within a virtual game scene on a game client. For example... Figure 3 The game screen shown is the game screen of the first virtual character. In the first virtual game scene, 301 is the virtual shooting prop used by the first virtual character, 302 is the second virtual character of the first color (the first color in the figure is only for illustrating this embodiment, and the specific color can be determined according to the actual situation), and 303 is the virtual object adjacent to the second virtual character in the first virtual scene. As can be seen from the figure, when the color difference between the second virtual character and the adjacent virtual object is small, the player controlling the first virtual character has difficulty distinguishing the second virtual character, making it difficult to aim at the second virtual character and resulting in low accuracy of virtual shooting.

[0051] Optionally, when the first virtual character performs a virtual shooting operation on the second virtual character and the virtual shooting operation satisfies the condition of switching the display color of the second virtual character, displaying the second virtual character of the second color in the game screen of the first virtual character includes: when N virtual props fired consecutively by the first virtual character all hit the target detection range of the second virtual character, displaying the second virtual character of the second color in the game screen of the first virtual character, wherein N is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

[0052] As an optional implementation, such as Figure 4 As shown, a target detection range 401 is set for the second virtual character. This target detection range can determine the range near the center of the second virtual character when a shot is fired. The preset range can be determined according to the actual situation, such as 0.5 meters or 0.7 meters from the center of the second virtual character. The target detection range box can be a cuboid collision box, and the specific shape can be set according to the actual situation. It can also be a circle, ellipse, or other shapes. The range of the target detection range is the suppression range of the second virtual character.

[0053] As an optional implementation, the aforementioned virtual props can be virtual bullets fired by virtual shooting props. If N virtual bullets fired consecutively by the first virtual character (the value of N can be set according to the actual situation, such as 5, 6, 8, 9, etc.) all hit the target detection range of the second virtual character within its suppression range, then... Figure 5 The control changes the second virtual character from the first color 501 to the second color, and displays the second virtual character 502 (not shown in the figure, the second color can be blue, red, yellow, etc.) on the game screen of the first virtual character. In another optional implementation, if the first virtual character fires N virtual bullets (N value can be set according to actual conditions, such as 3 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, etc.) consecutively within the target detection range of the second virtual character for a preset time period (which can be set according to actual conditions), the second virtual character of the second color is displayed on the game screen of the first virtual character. In the above embodiment, if one bullet in the N consecutive virtual bullets misses the target detection range, the number of virtual bullets that consecutively hit the target detection range needs to be recalculated. In this embodiment, the color change of the second virtual character is triggered by the N virtual props continuously hitting the target detection range of the second virtual character. The color difference between the second virtual character of the second color and the virtual objects near the second virtual character is more obvious, making it easier for the player to aim at the second virtual character and improving the accuracy and efficiency of virtual shooting.

[0054] A notification message is also displayed on the game screen of the first virtual character. This message indicates that the second virtual character, displaying a second color, will be triggered if N consecutive virtual items are fired and all hit the target detection range of the second virtual character. The message also indicates the number of consecutive hits the first virtual character has made within the target detection range of the second virtual character. Figure 5The message box 500 shown displays the target consecutive hit count as 10 (the second virtual character is triggered when 10 virtual items are launched consecutively and all hit the target detection range of the second virtual character), the consecutive hit count (the number of times virtual items launched by the first virtual character have consecutively hit the target detection range of the second virtual character), and the result when the first virtual character launches 10 virtual items consecutively and all hit the target detection range of the second virtual character. Figure 5 The second virtual character 502, displayed in a second color, is shown on the game screen of the first virtual character. In this embodiment, the number of consecutive hits to the target and the number of consecutive hits already achieved, displayed in the prompt box, allow the player to understand the gap between the current number of consecutive hits and the target number of consecutive hits in real time, reminding the player to move closer to the target and improving the player's gaming experience.

[0055] Optionally, when the first virtual character performs a virtual shooting operation on the second virtual character and the virtual shooting operation satisfies the condition of switching the display color of the second virtual character, displaying the second virtual character of the second color in the game screen of the first virtual character further includes: when M out of N virtual items fired continuously by the first virtual character hit the target detection range, displaying the second virtual character of the second color in the game screen of the first virtual character, wherein M is less than N.

[0056] As another optional implementation, if M out of N virtual bullets fired by the first virtual character (the value of N can be set according to the actual situation, such as 5, 6, 8, 9, etc.) hit the target detection range of the second virtual character within the suppression range (M can be even more according to the actual situation, but M is less than N), the second virtual character is controlled to change from the first color to the second color, and the second virtual character of the second color is displayed on the game screen of the first virtual character.

[0057] Taking N=10 and M=5 as an example, a prompt message is also displayed on the game screen of the first virtual character. This prompt message indicates that the second virtual character, displaying the second color, will be triggered when M virtual items out of N consecutively fired hit the target detection range, and also indicates the number of times the first virtual character has hit the target detection range of the second virtual character. Figure 6 The message box 600 shown displays the number of consecutive launches (the number of virtual items launched consecutively by the first virtual character) and the number of hits (the number of virtual items launched by the first virtual character that have hit the target detection range of the second virtual character). When 5 out of 10 virtual items launched consecutively by the first virtual character hit the target detection range of the second virtual character, such as... Figure 6As shown, the second virtual character (601) of the first color changes to the second virtual character (602) of the second color, and the second virtual character 602 of the second color is displayed on the game screen of the first virtual character. In this embodiment, by displaying the number of virtual items that the first virtual character has continuously launched and the number of targets that have been hit within the detection range in the prompt box, players can understand in real time the number of virtual items launched and the number that have been hit, thereby improving the player's gaming experience.

[0058] In another optional implementation, if M out of N virtual bullets fired by the first virtual character within a preset time period (which can be set according to actual conditions, such as 3 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, etc.) hit the target detection range of the second virtual character, a second virtual character of a second color is displayed on the game screen of the first virtual character. In this embodiment, counting begins from the first virtual character hitting the target detection range of the second virtual character for the first time. If the number of hits reaches M, a color change of the second virtual character is triggered. The color difference between the second virtual character of the second color and the virtual objects near the second virtual character is more obvious, making it easier for the player to aim at the second virtual character and improving the accuracy and efficiency of virtual shooting.

[0059] Optionally, when the first virtual character performs a virtual shooting operation on the second virtual character and the virtual shooting operation satisfies the condition of switching the display color of the second virtual character, the second virtual character of the second color is displayed in the game screen of the first virtual character. This further includes: when the number of virtual props fired by the first virtual character within a preset time and hitting the target detection range reaches a preset number, the second virtual character of the second color is displayed in the game screen of the first virtual character.

[0060] As another optional implementation, if the first virtual character fires M virtual bullets within a preset time period (which can be adjusted according to actual conditions, such as 5 seconds or 10 seconds) that hit the target detection range of the second virtual character (M can be adjusted according to actual conditions, but M is less than N), the second virtual character is controlled to change from the first color to the second color, and the second virtual character of the second color is displayed on the game screen of the first virtual character. In another optional implementation, if the first virtual character fires N virtual bullets consecutively within a preset time period (which can be adjusted according to actual conditions, such as 3 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, etc.) and M virtual bullets hit the target detection range of the second virtual character, the second virtual character of the second color is displayed on the game screen of the first virtual character. In this embodiment, counting begins from the first virtual character hitting the target detection range of the second virtual character for the first time. If the number of hits reaches M, the color change of the second virtual character is triggered. The color difference between the second virtual character of the second color and the virtual objects near the second virtual character is more obvious, making it easier for the player to aim at the second virtual character and improving the accuracy and efficiency of virtual shooting.

[0061] Taking a preset duration of 10 seconds as an example, a prompt message is also displayed on the game screen of the first virtual character. This prompt message indicates the remaining time of the preset duration, the preset quantity, and the number of virtual props that have hit the target detection range. Figure 7 The message box 700 shown displays the remaining time, the number of targets (preset number), and the number of hits (the number of virtual items that have hit the target detection range). If, within 10 seconds, 5 virtual items launched by the first virtual character hit the target detection range of the second virtual character, then... Figure 7 As shown, the second virtual character 701 of the first color changes to a second virtual character 702 of the second color, and the second virtual character 702 of the second color is displayed on the game screen of the first virtual character. In this embodiment, displaying the remaining time, the number of targets, and the number of hits in the prompt box can enhance the player's gaming experience.

[0062] Optionally, after displaying the second virtual character of the second color in the game screen of the first virtual character, the method further includes: when the second virtual character moves from the first virtual scene to the second virtual scene, displaying the second virtual character of the third color in the game screen of the first virtual character, wherein the difference between the third color and the color of the second scene object is greater than the difference between the second color and the color of the second scene object, and the color of the second scene object is the color of the virtual object adjacent to the second virtual character in the second virtual scene where the second virtual character is located.

[0063] As an optional implementation, since virtual characters can move freely in a virtual game scene, if the second virtual character moves from the first virtual scene to the second game scene, the color of the second virtual character is changed from the second color to the third color. The difference between the third color and the color of adjacent virtual objects of the second virtual character is greater than the difference between the second color and the color of adjacent virtual objects of the second virtual character. For example... Figure 8 As shown, the second virtual character moves from the first virtual scene to the second virtual scene. The second virtual character switches from a second color 801 to a third color 802. 803 in the figure represents a virtual object adjacent to the second virtual character in the second virtual scene. The color difference between the third color and virtual object 803 is greater than the color difference between the second color and virtual object 803. The third color can be set according to actual conditions, such as red, green, or blue. In this embodiment, as the second virtual character moves, the virtual objects near the second virtual character change, and the color of the second virtual character also changes accordingly. This allows the player controlling the first virtual character to accurately distinguish the second virtual character during its movement, improving the accuracy of virtual shooting.

[0064] Optionally, after displaying the second virtual character of the second color in the game screen of the first virtual character, the method further includes: if the second virtual character moves from the first virtual scene to a third virtual scene and the difference between the second color and the color of the object in the third scene meets a preset difference condition, then the second virtual character of the second color continues to be displayed in the game screen of the first virtual character, wherein the color of the object in the third scene is the color of the virtual object adjacent to the second virtual character in the third virtual scene where the second virtual character is located.

[0065] As an optional implementation, since virtual characters can move freely in a virtual game scene, if the second virtual character moves from the first virtual scene to the third virtual scene, and the color difference between the second virtual character and the virtual objects adjacent to the second virtual character in the third virtual scene meets a preset difference condition, the color of the second virtual character can continue to remain the second color. The preset difference condition can be that the difference between the color value of the second color of the second virtual character and the color value of the virtual objects adjacent to the second virtual character is greater than or equal to a threshold. The color value can be the three primary color values, or the values ​​obtained after the three primary colors are processed by a function (e.g., taking the average value, or taking the maximum or minimum value among the three primary colors, etc.). The threshold can also be set according to the actual situation.

[0066] like Figure 9As shown, the second virtual character moves from the first virtual scene to the third virtual scene. If the color of the second virtual character 901 (shown in the figure) and the color of the virtual object 902 adjacent to the second virtual character in the third virtual scene meet the aforementioned preset difference condition, then the second virtual character continues to maintain its second color. The second color shown in the figure can be set according to actual conditions, such as red, green, or blue. In this embodiment, if the color of the second virtual character differs significantly from the color of its nearby virtual objects during movement, the color of the second virtual character can remain unchanged, thus achieving the technical effect of saving game resources.

[0067] Optionally, the method further includes: when the second virtual character moves from its current position to a target position, controlling the target detection range of the second virtual character to change from a first detection range to a second detection range, wherein the distance between the current position and the position of the first virtual character is a first distance, the distance between the target position and the position of the first virtual character is a second distance, when the first distance is greater than the second distance, the detection range of the first detection range is greater than the detection range of the second detection range, and when the first distance is less than the second distance, the detection range of the first detection range is less than the detection range of the second detection range.

[0068] As an optional implementation, such as Figure 10 The second virtual character within target detection range 1001 is the current position of the aforementioned second virtual character, and the second virtual character within target detection range 1002 is the aforementioned target position. The distance between the current position and the position of the first virtual character 100 is d1, and the distance between the target position and the position of the first virtual character is d2. If d1 is greater than d2, the judgment range of target detection range 1001 is larger than the judgment range of target detection range 1002. Conversely, if d1 is less than d2, the judgment range of target detection range 1001 is smaller than the judgment range of target detection range 1002. The judgment range of the target detection range varies within a certain range, decreasing as it approaches infinity. That is, the greater the distance between the second virtual character and the first virtual character, the larger the judgment range of the target detection range will be. This makes it easier for the first virtual character to attack the second virtual character at a distance, improving the accuracy of virtual shooting.

[0069] Optionally, the method further includes: when a virtual shooting operation performed by the first virtual character on the second virtual character hits the hit detection range of the second virtual character, deducting a preset number of virtual resources of the second virtual character, wherein the detection range of the hit detection range is less than or equal to the detection range of the target detection range, and the hit detection range is located within the target detection range.

[0070] As an optional implementation, the second virtual character has two collision boxes attached to it, one being the hit detection range and the other the target detection range (also known as the suppression detection range). Figure 11 In this system, the hit detection range (1102) is smaller than the target detection range (1101). The hit detection range is used to determine whether damage calculation is performed. If the hit is within the hit detection range, a certain amount of virtual resources is deducted from the second virtual character. The specific amount deducted can be determined based on the actual situation, such as deducting a certain amount of health. Since the hit detection range is within the target detection range, if the first virtual character hits the hit detection range, it can also be recorded as the first virtual character hitting the target detection range, and the number of times the first virtual character hits the target detection range is accumulated. In this way, the first virtual character not only attacks the second virtual character but also accumulates a hit for the second virtual character's color switching, improving the player's gaming experience.

[0071] Optionally, when the first virtual character performs a virtual shooting operation on the second virtual character, and the virtual shooting operation satisfies the condition of switching the display color of the second virtual character, displaying the second virtual character of the second color in the game screen of the first virtual character further includes: when the first virtual character performs a virtual shooting operation on the second virtual character, and the virtual shooting operation satisfies the condition of switching the display color of the second virtual character, obtaining the color of a virtual object adjacent to the second virtual character in the first virtual scene; obtaining the second color from a preset color set, wherein the second color has the greatest difference from the obtained color of the virtual object in the preset color set; switching the display color of the second virtual character from the first color to the second color, and displaying the second virtual character of the second color in the game screen of the first virtual character.

[0072] As an optional implementation, if the shooting operation of the first virtual character satisfies the aforementioned condition for switching the display color of the second virtual character, the color will change according to the color of the virtual objects near the second virtual character. First, the colors of the virtual objects near the second virtual character are obtained. Then, from a preset color set, the color with the largest difference from the color of the virtual objects near the second virtual character is determined, and this color is used as the second color. The color of the second virtual character is then switched to the aforementioned second color.

[0073] As an optional implementation, the aforementioned color difference can be determined by color values, which are represented by the numerical values ​​of the three primary colors (R, G, B). Specifically, R, G, and B can represent the color values ​​of virtual characters and virtual objects, or R, G, and B can be processed by functions, such as averaging, maximum or minimum value processing, etc. In this embodiment, taking the average value of R, G, and B as an example, assuming the color value of the virtual object near the second virtual character is S1 = (R1 + G1 + B1) / 3, the color value of each color is determined in a preset color set, and this color value is also the average value of R, G, and B. The color with the largest difference from S1 in the preset color set is selected as the aforementioned second color.

[0074] As an optional implementation, the aforementioned preset color set may include various material spheres of different colors, such as... Figure 12 As shown, it is a gray material ball. You can regenerate other colors such as red and green from it, and then replace the material ball directly after determining the color of the second virtual character.

[0075] Optionally, obtaining the color of the virtual object adjacent to the second virtual character in the first virtual scene includes: obtaining the color of the virtual object closest to the second virtual character in the first virtual scene; or obtaining the color of the virtual object in the first virtual scene that is less than a preset distance threshold and has the largest area; or obtaining the color of the virtual object in the first virtual scene that is less than a preset distance threshold and has the smallest color difference from the first color.

[0076] Optionally, obtaining the color of the virtual object closest to the second virtual character in the first virtual scene includes: emitting multiple detection rays from the center position of the second virtual character in various directions; determining the virtual object closest to the center position of the second virtual character among the multiple virtual objects collided by the multiple detection rays, and obtaining the color of the virtual object closest to the center position of the second virtual character.

[0077] As an optional implementation, such as Figure 13As shown, multiple detection rays are emitted from the center of the second virtual character in all directions. The more directions of detection rays, the more accurate the detection. Generally, if a virtual object can interfere with the view of the player controlling the first virtual character, then the virtual object must be relatively large. Therefore, eight directions are sufficient to detect virtual objects near the second virtual character. If multiple virtual objects are detected, the one closest to the second virtual character is selected, and its color is obtained. Furthermore, the closer the object is to the player, the greater its impact on the view. After obtaining the virtual objects near the second virtual character, the material attached to those objects can be obtained, and its color value is recorded. This color value is then compared with pre-configured color values, and the one with the largest difference is selected as the color of the second virtual character. Several colors with significant and obvious color value differences can be pre-configured. Therefore, when the color of the second virtual character is triggered, the color values ​​of the virtual objects surrounding the second virtual character are first obtained. Since the numerical difference between colors with the same color value is smaller, only the color with the largest difference between the pre-configured colors and the obtained virtual object color value needs to be selected.

[0078] Optionally, the first virtual character firing a virtual prop that hits the target detection range of the second virtual character includes: firing a virtual ray from the aiming position of the virtual shooting prop used by the first virtual character, and determining the target detection range of the first virtual character firing a virtual prop that hits the second virtual character when the virtual ray intersects with the target detection range.

[0079] As an optional implementation, such as Figure 14 As shown, starting from the crosshair of the virtual shooting tool 1400 used by the first virtual character, and with the current virtual shooting direction as the orientation, a detection ray is fired to detect 1402. If the detection ray intersects with the target detection range 1401, then hit information will be returned and recorded. If the hit is within the hit detection range, then both damage to the second virtual character and a hit within the target detection range will be counted.

[0080] Optionally, the above method further includes: when the first virtual character meets preset conditions, waking up the target virtual shooting equipment of the first virtual character, wherein the target virtual shooting equipment is used to perform the virtual shooting operation on the second virtual character.

[0081] As an optional implementation, the aforementioned target virtual equipment includes, but is not limited to, ultimate skill equipment in a virtual game scene. This ultimate skill equipment is only activated when the first virtual character meets preset conditions. These virtual shooting conditions include, but are not limited to, the number of enemy virtual characters killed by the first virtual character being greater than or equal to a first preset threshold (e.g., 10, 15, etc.), or the number of virtual resources (e.g., virtual coins, virtual items) of the first virtual character being greater than or equal to a second preset threshold (e.g., 50, 65, etc.). Figure 15 In the game screen shown, when the preset conditions are not met, the aforementioned virtual shooting equipment is displayed in gray (unawakened state) 1500, and when the preset conditions are not met, the aforementioned virtual shooting equipment is displayed in highlighted state (awakened state) 1501. In this embodiment, by waking up the target virtual shooting equipment of the first virtual character when the preset conditions are met, the player's fighting desire can be stimulated, and the player's gaming experience can be enhanced.

[0082] Optionally, the above method further includes: displaying the second virtual character of the second color in the game screen of the first virtual character within a preset effective time period; and continuing to display the second virtual character of the first color in the game screen of the first virtual character when the preset effective time period ends.

[0083] As an optional implementation, the aforementioned preset effective duration is the display duration of the second color, which can be set according to actual conditions, such as 10 seconds, 15 seconds, etc. After the aforementioned preset effective duration ends, the second virtual character in the first color continues to be displayed.

[0084] Optionally, the above method further includes: after the first virtual character performs a virtual shooting operation on the second virtual character and the virtual shooting operation satisfies the condition of switching the display color of the second virtual character, if the first virtual character continues to perform a virtual shooting operation on the second virtual character and the virtual shooting operation continues to hit the second virtual character, the second virtual character of a fourth color is displayed in the game screen of the first virtual character, wherein the difference between the fourth color and the color of the first scene object is greater than the difference between the second color and the color of the first scene object.

[0085] As an optional implementation, the more times the virtual shooting operation hits the second virtual character, the greater the color difference between the second virtual character and the objects in the first scene, meaning the more obvious the color of the second virtual character. For example, after displaying the second virtual character of the second color in the game screen of the first virtual character, if the first virtual character continues to fire N virtual items that all hit the target detection range of the second virtual character, then the second virtual character of the fourth color is displayed in the game screen of the first virtual character; or, after displaying the second virtual character of the second color in the game screen of the first virtual character, if M out of the N virtual items fired by the first virtual character continue to hit the target detection range, then the second virtual character of the fourth color is displayed in the game screen of the first virtual character; or, after displaying the second virtual character of the second color in the game screen of the first virtual character, if the number of virtual items fired by the first virtual character that hit the target detection range within a preset time period reaches a preset number, then the second virtual character of the fourth color is displayed in the game screen of the first virtual character. In this embodiment, the more times the first virtual character hits the target detection range of the second virtual character, the more obvious the difference between the color of the second virtual character and the color of the virtual objects nearby becomes. This can encourage players to increase the number of virtual shots and improve the game experience.

[0086] As an optional implementation, such as Figure 16 The flowchart shown includes the following steps:

[0087] S1601, a second virtual character of the first color is displayed on the game screen of the first virtual character, wherein the color difference between the first color and the virtual objects near the second virtual character is small, making it difficult for the player controlling the first virtual character to distinguish the second virtual character.

[0088] S1602, the first virtual character fires a virtual item at the second virtual character. The virtual item can be a virtual bullet fired by the first virtual character using a virtual shooting item.

[0089] S1603, determine whether the virtual prop hits the target detection range of the second virtual character. If yes, proceed to step S1604; otherwise, proceed without S1601.

[0090] S1604, Accumulate the number of times the first virtual character hits the target detection range;

[0091] S1605, Is the cumulative number of hits greater than the preset value? The preset value can be set according to the actual situation, such as 5, 10, etc. If it is greater, proceed to step S1606; otherwise, proceed to step S1604.

[0092] S1606, Calculate the total time taken to reach the preset value for a hit;

[0093] S1607, determine whether the total duration is within the preset duration. The preset duration can be set according to the actual situation, such as 10 seconds, 20 seconds, etc. If yes, proceed to step S1608; otherwise, proceed to step S1603.

[0094] S1608, Obtain the color of the virtual object near the second virtual character, and switch the color of the second virtual character according to the color of the virtual character;

[0095] S1609, Determine whether the color-changing time of the second virtual character has ended. If yes, proceed to step S1610; otherwise, proceed to step S1608.

[0096] S1610, switch the second virtual character back to its original color.

[0097] In this application, by providing a target detection tool for the virtual character, when the target is hit within the detection range, the skin color of the virtual character can switch according to the color of the nearby virtual objects, making it easier to distinguish visually. This can reduce the difficulty of target acquisition and aiming for shooting players in many scenarios due to the inability to quickly distinguish between characters and scenes, thereby appropriately improving the kill capability.
