Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of game technology, and more specifically, to a method, apparatus, storage medium, and electronic device for moving virtual objects. Background Technology

[0002] Many shooting and competitive games currently feature a backpack system to store items acquired during gameplay. Players can select and equip various items from their backpack during battle, enabling different gameplay strategies. Shooting and competitive mobile games often involve long drag-and-drop operations when managing backpack resources during matches, for example... Figure 1 In the game interface shown, players need to drag weapons and attachments from the right half of the screen's inventory or nearby area to the left half of the screen's current equipment area, or drag them to the far right to discard equipment currently equipped on the virtual game character. These long-distance dragging operations are not well implemented when holding the phone in landscape mode with both hands. Related technologies that aim to improve the player experience mainly revolve around reducing the interactive area, shrinking the full-screen inventory interface to 2 / 3 of the screen or half a screen to address the issue of excessive dragging distances. However, shrinking the inventory makes the interactive area even smaller and denser, which, while reducing dragging distance, can actually decrease the precision of operations.

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

[0024] Those skilled in the art will understand that Figure 2 The structure shown is for illustrative purposes only and does not limit the structure of the mobile terminal described above. For example, the mobile terminal may also include components that are more... Figure 2The more or fewer components shown, or having the same Figure 2 The different configurations shown.

[0025] According to one embodiment of this application, an embodiment of a method for moving virtual objects is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0026] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of a method for moving a virtual object according to one embodiment of this application. A graphical user interface is provided through a terminal device. The content displayed by the graphical user interface includes a first display area and a second display area, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0027] Step S31: In response to a touch operation performed on the first display area, determine the target virtual object to be operated and the initial tilt angle of the terminal device, wherein the first display area is used to provide at least one alternative virtual object associated with the virtual game character;

[0028] Step S32: In response to a change in the tilt direction of the terminal device, obtain the magnitude of the change in the initial tilt angle;

[0029] Step S33: Based on the magnitude of change, select a first response area from the second display area, wherein the second display area is used to provide at least one candidate response area associated with at least one alternative virtual object;

[0030] Step S34: In response to the touch operation leaving the first display area, move the target virtual object to the first response area.

[0031] Optionally, the first display area is used to display the virtual equipment area associated with the virtual game character. The content displayed in the virtual equipment area includes at least one virtual weapon or equipment currently equipped by the virtual game character. For example, the virtual equipment area can display weapon 1, weapon 2, weapon 3, and weapon 4 currently equipped by the virtual game character, and can also display items such as helmets, bulletproof vests, and boots.

[0032] Optionally, the second display area is an area other than the virtual equipment area. The content displayed in the second display area includes at least one of the following: a virtual backpack area associated with the virtual game character, a list of virtual items to be picked up within the activity range of the virtual game character, and a drop-off area for virtual weapons and equipment within the virtual equipment area. The virtual backpack area can display several game items that the player has picked up in the game scene, and the drop-off area for virtual weapons and equipment within the virtual equipment area allows the player to drop virtual weapons and equipment.

[0033] It should be noted that the positions of the first display area and the second display area can be flexibly interchanged. This application only provides an example and does not constitute a specific limitation.

[0034] The touch operation performed on the first display area can be a long press and drag operation. The target virtual object to be operated on is at least one alternative virtual object in the virtual equipment area, such as virtual weapons, helmets, bulletproof vests, and boots. The initial tilt angle of the terminal device can be obtained by an angle detection component on the terminal device, for example, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of an interface for a method of moving a virtual object according to one embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 4 As shown, when the terminal device is a mobile phone, the initial tilt angle α of the phone screen is recorded by the phone's gyroscope when the player first triggers a drag operation on at least one candidate virtual object. The phone gyroscope is a sensor used to measure and detect the device's rotation and tilt. It provides accurate attitude and orientation information by sensing the device's angular velocity and direction. A mobile phone gyroscope typically consists of a microelectromechanical system (MEMS), including a tiny gyroscope and an accelerometer. The gyroscope detects the device's rotational motion, while the accelerometer detects the device's linear acceleration and gravitational acceleration. By combining the data from the gyroscope and accelerometer, the mobile phone gyroscope can provide more accurate device attitude and motion information, such as the device's tilt angle, rotational speed, and direction.

[0035] When the tilt direction of the terminal device changes, the magnitude of the change in the initial tilt angle is obtained. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of an interface for another method of moving a virtual object according to one embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 5 As shown, after the mobile terminal tilts to the right, the change in the initial tilt angle α can be obtained. Based on the change in α, a first response area is selected from the second display area. The first response area can be the virtual backpack area associated with the virtual game character, the list area of ​​virtual items to be picked up within the activity range of the virtual game character, or the drop area corresponding to virtual weapons and equipment within the virtual equipment area. After the player releases their hand, that is, when the drag operation on at least one candidate virtual object stops, the target virtual object is moved to the first response area.

[0036] Based on steps S31 to S34 above, by responding to the touch operation performed on the first display area, the initial tilt angle of the target virtual object to be operated and the terminal device is determined. Then, in response to the change in the tilt direction of the terminal device, the change range of the initial tilt angle is obtained. Subsequently, based on the change range, a first response area is selected from the second display area. Finally, in response to the touch operation leaving the first display area, the target virtual object is moved to the first response area. This achieves the purpose of quickly and conveniently moving game virtual objects in the game's graphical user interface, thereby improving the technical effect of operation accuracy when moving game virtual objects. This solves the technical problem of low operation accuracy when moving game virtual objects after reducing the interaction area in related technologies.

[0037] The method for moving virtual objects in the embodiments of this application will be further described below.

[0038] Optionally, the method for moving virtual objects in this application embodiment further includes: determining the first tilt angle change range corresponding to the number of regions and the change amplitude of at least one candidate response region; dividing the first tilt angle change range based on the number of regions to obtain at least one candidate change interval corresponding to at least one candidate response region.

[0039] Specifically, when a player wants to move an item from the nearby bar to the virtual backpack area or virtual equipment area on the left, the number of at least one candidate response area is n=2, that is, the candidate response areas are the virtual equipment area and the virtual backpack area. The first tilt angle change range corresponding to the change of the initial tilt angle α is (20°, 90°). The first tilt angle change range that exceeds 20° and is less than 90° is divided into two equal parts to obtain the candidate change interval (20°, 55°) corresponding to the virtual backpack area and the candidate change interval (55°, 90°) corresponding to the virtual equipment area.

[0040] Based on the above optional embodiments, by determining the first tilt angle change range corresponding to the number and magnitude of at least one candidate response region, and then dividing the first tilt angle change range based on the number of regions, at least one candidate change interval corresponding to at least one candidate response region can be obtained, which can further simplify the operation steps when moving virtual objects in mobile games and improve the user experience of players.

[0041] Optionally, the method for moving a virtual object in this application embodiment further includes: setting a second tilt angle variation range, wherein the second tilt angle variation range is used to reject the determination of the first response region.

[0042] Specifically, continuing with n=2 as an example, the range of the second tilt angle change is set to less than 20°, that is, a 20° anti-accidental touch judgment is set. After triggering the drag operation, if the tilt angle α is within 20 degrees, no mapping operation will be generated, so as to avoid the target virtual object being moved incorrectly due to the player's accidental touch.

[0043] Based on the above optional embodiments, by setting a second tilt angle variation range, it is possible to effectively prevent the movement of virtual game items caused by accidental touches by players, thereby further optimizing the player's gaming experience.

[0044] Optionally, in step S33, selecting the first response region from the second display area based on the magnitude of change includes:

[0045] Step S331: Select the target change interval corresponding to the change magnitude from at least one candidate change interval;

[0046] Step S332: Determine the first response region based on the target change range.

[0047] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of an interface for another method of moving a virtual object according to one embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 6 As shown, when a player drags an item in the "Nearby" area with their right hand and tilts the phone to the left, the left-side backpack and equipment areas will highlight sequentially, depending on the angle α. The larger the angle, the more the leftward the area will highlight. When α is between 20° and 55°, the virtual backpack area is highlighted. Releasing the dragging hand at this angle will move the selected item from the "Nearby" bar into the virtual backpack area. When α is between 55° and 90°, the virtual equipment area is highlighted. Releasing the dragging hand at this angle will move the selected item from the "Nearby" bar into the virtual equipment area. When the angle α is less than 20 degrees, no mapping operation will occur.

[0048] Based on the above optional embodiments, by selecting the target change range corresponding to the change amplitude from at least one candidate change range, and then determining the first response area based on the target change range, the target movement position of the target virtual object can be quickly determined, thereby avoiding long-distance drag selection by the player, and further reducing the operational difficulty when moving the target virtual object.

[0049] Optionally, the method for moving virtual objects in this application embodiment further includes: displaying the first response area in the graphical user interface according to a first preset display style.

[0050] Specifically, the first response area is displayed according to the first preset display style, including but not limited to highlighting, flashing, and outlining.

[0051] Optionally, the method for moving a virtual object in this application embodiment further includes: displaying a prompt message in a graphical user interface, wherein the prompt message is used to indicate the movement result of the target virtual object.

[0052] Specifically, Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of an interface for another method of moving a virtual object according to one embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 7 As shown, when the player holds weapon 3 in the "backpack" area with their right hand and tilts the phone to the right, the left-side backpack area, equipment area, and drop area will highlight sequentially, depending on the change in tilt angle α. The greater the tilt angle α, the more the rightward area will be highlighted. When the drop area is highlighted, the player releases their hand, and weapon 3 moves to the drop area. The position where weapon 3 was originally placed in the backpack area becomes empty, and a message "Weapon 3 has been dropped" is displayed on the game interface to indicate the result of weapon 3's movement.

[0053] Based on the above optional embodiments, by displaying prompt messages in the graphical user interface, the movement results of the target virtual object can be presented intuitively, further enhancing the player's gaming experience.

[0054] Optionally, the method for moving a virtual object in this application embodiment further includes: in response to a touch operation continuously contacting a first display area and the touch point of the touch operation sliding from the first display area to a second response area, moving the target virtual object to the second response area.

[0055] Specifically, when a player actually drags and moves a virtual object, this drag-and-drop action takes precedence over actions performed by pressing and holding with a finger in conjunction with the phone's gyroscope. For example, if the player continues to drag and drop an object after the first response area is highlighted, the latter action will take precedence. The second response area can be the same area as the first response area, or it can be a different area.

[0056] Optionally, in step S31, in response to a touch operation performed on the first display area, determining the target virtual object includes:

[0057] Step S311: In response to a touch operation performed on the first display area, obtain the touch position of the touch operation within the first display area;

[0058] Step S312: Determine the target virtual object corresponding to the touch position within the first display area, and display the target virtual object according to the second preset display style.

[0059] Specifically, after detecting the touch location where the player has long-pressed and dragged within the first display area, the system determines the corresponding target virtual object based on that touch location and displays the target virtual object according to a second preset display style. Displaying the target virtual object according to the second preset display style includes, but is not limited to, vibrating the target virtual object, changing its display state, or changing its display style; the specific actions are not limited.

[0060] Based on the above-described cool embodiment, by responding to the touch operation performed on the first display area, the touch position of the touch operation in the first display area is obtained, and then the target virtual object corresponding to the touch position is determined in the first display area. The target virtual object is then displayed according to the second preset display style, which can quickly determine the target virtual object to be moved.

[0061] Optionally, the tilt direction is determined by the direction to be operated on of the target virtual object.

[0062] Specifically, the tilt direction is consistent with the direction of the target virtual object to be operated on, and at least one candidate response area can be arranged horizontally or vertically in the graphical user interface. When the player wants to move the target virtual object to the left area, the tilt direction is to the left; when the player wants to move the target virtual object to the right area, the tilt direction is to the right; when the player wants to move the target virtual object to the upper area, the tilt direction is to the upper; and when the player wants to move the target virtual object to the lower area, the tilt direction is to the lower.

[0063] In this embodiment, by responding to a touch operation performed on the first display area, the initial tilt angle of the target virtual object and the terminal device is determined. Then, in response to a change in the tilt direction of the terminal device, the magnitude of the change in the initial tilt angle is obtained. Subsequently, based on the magnitude of the change, a first response area is selected from the second display area. Finally, in response to a touch operation leaving the first display area, the target virtual object is moved to the first response area. This allows for the mapping of real long-distance dragging operations by dragging the target virtual object and tilting the phone. This can improve the efficiency of operating and discarding backpack equipment when holding the phone with both hands or even with one hand, and further improve the accuracy of operation.

[0064] Through the above description of the embodiments, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the methods according to the above embodiments can be implemented by means of software plus necessary general-purpose hardware platforms. Of course, they can also be implemented by hardware, but in many cases the former is a better implementation method.
