Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of game editing technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus and electronic device for generating virtual vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] In the game editor, players can assemble in-game components into rideable virtual vehicles and then use motion controls to enable these vehicles to open and close doors, move forward and backward, etc. However, the movement of the virtual vehicle is actually achieved by binding other components to the same component, causing the bound component to move along with it. In reality, the bound components exhibit a certain lag when being moved, resulting in poor performance. Furthermore, the motion control function does not simulate realistic physics; it directly modifies the rotation and displacement of components, failing to replicate the acceleration and steering feel of a real vehicle, thus negatively impacting the player's gaming experience. 。 Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method, apparatus, and electronic device for generating virtual vehicles to simulate the driving feel of vehicles in the real world and improve the player's gaming experience.

[0008] The embodiments of the present invention bring the following beneficial effects:

[0009] This invention provides a method, apparatus, and electronic device for generating virtual vehicles. First, a graphical user interface (GUI) for the game editing stage is provided via a terminal device. This GUI displays at least a portion of the game editing scene, which includes multiple scene components configured with independent physical simulations. Then, in response to a vehicle generation command, a target virtual vehicle is generated based on the target scene components determined by the command.

These vehicle parameters determine the performance and control method of the target virtual vehicle during operation. In this method, the physical simulation of the virtual vehicle generated based on the scene components is a whole, so that any collision of any part of the virtual vehicle will cause the entire vehicle to generate force, conforming to the physical laws of the real world and helping to improve the player's gaming experience.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0025] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the invention.

[0026] In the game editor, players can combine in-game light, cylinder, and music trampoline light components to create rideable virtual vehicles, and then use motion controls to enable these vehicles to open and close doors, move forward and backward. While players can create vehicles this way, this method has the following drawbacks:

[0027] (1) The movement of virtual vehicles is actually achieved by binding other components on the virtual vehicle to the same component, so that when this component moves, it drives the bound unit to move together; in fact, the bound unit will have a certain lag when it is driven to move.

[0028] (2) The motion device function does not simulate real physical performance, but directly modifies the rotation and displacement of components; players must write four motion devices to make the virtual vehicle move forward, backward, left and right, which cannot achieve the acceleration process of the vehicle when starting or the driving feel of the vehicle when turning in the real world.

[0029] (3) The only thing that can be driven by the motor is a "kinematic object". Kinematic objects are not affected by gravity, which means that players must use some unconventional methods to create a vehicle that will not clip through the ramp when going up or down the slope and can be affected by external forces.

[0030] (4) The vehicles created by the current players cannot be recognized as vehicles in the game functions. It is impossible to realize the logic that the vehicles can be reborn after being destroyed, or to trigger fireworks after the vehicles enter an area.

[0031] The related technologies also provide two vehicle generation methods. One is based on voxel-based physical component assembly, where players assemble components such as wheels, hinges, and axles, set the attributes and control methods of each component, and then let the player control the vehicle. The other is to directly provide players with pre-made vehicles, allowing them to only edit the vehicle's appearance, materials, speed, and other attributes. However, the first method has a high learning curve; it is very difficult for players to create a vehicle with a good driving experience, and this method does not support multiple players driving the same vehicle together. The second method's drawback is that it greatly restricts the player's creative freedom; players cannot easily create a vehicle with a completely free appearance, and the size, position, and number of wheels can be freely changed. Furthermore, this solution does not support multiple players driving the same vehicle together; players must write their own code to implement this.

[0032] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides a method, apparatus, and electronic device for generating virtual vehicles. This technology can be applied to the generation, movement, and editing of virtual vehicles in game editing scenarios.

[0033] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the method for generating virtual objects can run on a local terminal device or a server. When the method for generating virtual objects runs on a server, it can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interaction system, wherein the cloud interaction system includes a server and client devices.

[0034] In an optional implementation, various cloud applications, such as cloud gaming, can run under the cloud interaction system. Taking cloud gaming as an example, cloud gaming refers to a gaming method based on cloud computing. In the cloud gaming operating mode, the game program and the game screen presentation are separated. The storage and execution of virtual object generation methods are completed on the cloud gaming server. The client device is used for data reception, transmission, and game screen presentation. For example, the client device can be a display device with data transmission capabilities located close to the player, such as a mobile terminal, television, computer, or PDA; however, the information processing is performed by the cloud gaming server in the cloud. When playing the game, the player operates the client device to send operation commands to the cloud gaming server. The cloud gaming server runs the game according to the operation commands, encodes and compresses game screen data, returns it to the client device via the network, and finally, the client device decodes and outputs the game screen.

[0035] In an optional implementation, taking a game as an example, the local terminal device stores the game program and is used to display the game screen. The local terminal device is used to interact with the player through a graphical user interface (GUI), i.e., conventionally by downloading, installing, and running the game program via an electronic device. The local terminal device can provide the GUI to the player in various ways, such as rendering it on the terminal's display screen or providing it to the player via holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device can include a display screen for displaying the GUI, which includes game screens, and a processor for running the game, generating the GUI, and controlling the display of the GUI on the display screen.

[0036] In one possible implementation, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for generating virtual vehicles, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following specific steps:

[0037] Step S102: Provide a graphical user interface for the game editing stage through a terminal device. The graphical user interface displays at least a portion of the game editing scene, which includes multiple scene components and each scene component is configured with independent physical simulation.

[0038] The aforementioned terminal devices can be either the local terminal devices mentioned earlier or client devices within the aforementioned cloud interaction system. Specifically, terminal devices can be mobile phones, computers, tablets, etc. The aforementioned game editing scene is a scene provided by the game program, or it can be understood as a scene provided by the game editor. Players can edit editable components within the game editing scene as needed, and then define the edited components as scene components within the game editing scene. In practical applications, when a player triggers a game editing command, the game editing scene can be displayed in the graphical user interface. This game editing command can be determined according to the game rules. For example, the editing command could be an operation to enter the game editor; or it could be an operation to select a scene map for editing, etc.

[0039] In one specific embodiment, the editable components mentioned above are typically components from a component library. Players can trigger an editable component to generate a scene component corresponding to that component in the game's editing scene. The component types and forms of the editable components included in the component library can be set according to development needs. For example, the component library includes multiple different types of editable components, including: structural components, furniture components, environment components, mechanism components, creature components, and combination components, etc. Each type of editable component also contains multiple editable components. For example, mechanism components also include motion mechanism components, functional mechanism components, logic components, object components, floor components, and vehicle components, where vehicle components may include vehicle cores, seat components, and wheel components, etc.

[0040] The game editing scene described above includes multiple scene components, each equipped with independent physics simulations. These simulations can be activated by the player as needed or automatically activated by the system based on player actions. In one specific embodiment, the physics simulations include physical collisions and force effects. Physical collisions control the collision effects when scene components collide with other scene components in the game editing scene. That is, when a scene component collides with other scene components, it will not pass through them but will bounce back. Force effects are controlled by the center of mass and mass of the scene component. Different center of mass and mass result in different force effects on the scene component. For example, when the mass of a scene component is large, a gentle push will not cause it to move; when the mass of a scene component is very small, a gentle push may cause it to move a certain distance. The center of mass refers to the center of mass of an object. The center of mass is the geometric center of a uniformly dense and symmetrical object. Under gravity, the center of gravity is the center of mass.

[0041] Step S104: In response to the vehicle generation command, a target virtual vehicle is generated based on the target scene components determined by the vehicle generation command, and an overall physical simulation is configured for the target virtual vehicle according to the physical simulation corresponding to each target scene component, so that the target virtual vehicle has overall physical properties in the game editing scene and / or the game running scene corresponding to the game editing scene.

[0042] The triggering operation of the aforementioned vehicle generation command can be determined based on development needs or player actions. For example, the vehicle generation command can be generated by selecting a target scene component in the game editing scene and then clicking the vehicle generation control displayed in the graphical user interface; or it can be generated by clicking the vehicle generation control after the scene components included in the game editing scene meet specified conditions. When a player triggers the vehicle generation command, the target scene components will be determined in the game editing scene according to the vehicle generation command. The number of target scene components is at least two. Then, the physical simulations corresponding to each target scene component are merged to obtain an overall physical simulation. This overall physical simulation is then configured for the target virtual vehicle welded together from the target scene components, so that the target virtual vehicle has overall physical properties. That is, the target virtual vehicle has only one center of mass, and the target virtual vehicle, as a whole, collides physically with other scene components, so that the target virtual vehicle is regarded as a whole when participating in the physical operation of the game.

[0043] In practice, before generating the target virtual vehicle, each target scene component that needs to generate the target virtual vehicle is independent of each other, and each target scene component has its own physical simulation, that is, each target scene component is an independent unit; after generating the target virtual vehicle, each target scene component is welded into a whole, and the target virtual vehicle has an overall physical simulation.

[0044] Step S106: In response to the editing operation for the target virtual vehicle, determine the vehicle parameters corresponding to the target virtual vehicle based on the editing operation. The vehicle parameters are used to determine the performance and control method of the target virtual vehicle during operation.

[0045] The aforementioned editing operations typically involve editing the vehicle parameters corresponding to the target virtual vehicle. These parameters can be determined based on development needs or player settings. In practice, the vehicle parameters primarily determine the target virtual vehicle's performance and control methods during operation. The performance is controlled through at least one of the following: maximum vehicle speed, vehicle acceleration, wheel steering speed, and maximum wheel steering angle. The control methods include joystick mode and button mode, meaning players can control the target virtual vehicle using joystick controls or buttons displayed in the graphical user interface.

[0046] The present invention provides a method for generating virtual vehicles. The physical simulation of virtual vehicles generated based on scene components is a whole. Therefore, any collision of any part of the virtual vehicle will cause the vehicle as a whole to generate force, which conforms to the physical laws in the real world and helps to improve the player's gaming experience.

[0047] The following preferred embodiments describe a method for generating a target virtual vehicle based on target scene components.

[0048] Specifically, the process of generating a target virtual vehicle based on the target scene components determined by the vehicle generation command in response to the vehicle generation command may include: determining the target scene components in the game editing scene in response to the vehicle generation command, and generating a target virtual vehicle based on the target scene components; wherein each target scene component has its own corresponding component appearance, and the vehicle appearance of the target virtual vehicle is determined by the relative position of each target scene component in the game editing scene and the component appearance corresponding to each target scene component.

[0049] In practice, each target scene component has its own corresponding appearance. For example, a cylinder component has a cylindrical shape, and a wheel component has a tire shape. Specifically, players can use the component editing function provided in the game to assemble target scene components into the appearance of a virtual vehicle. That is, by moving the positions of target scene components, players can pre-assemble them into a shape that resembles a vehicle, so that a target virtual vehicle with that appearance can be generated later. After players assemble multiple target scene components into a certain vehicle appearance according to their needs, they can trigger the vehicle generation command to generate the target virtual vehicle based on the multiple scene components with that specific vehicle appearance.

[0050] In an optional embodiment, the vehicle generation instruction is determined in the following manner: in response to the existence of a target scene component among multiple scene components that satisfies the requirement of generating a target virtual vehicle, a first control is provided in the graphical user interface; or in response to a scene component selection operation, when a target scene component among the selected scene components satisfies the requirement of generating a target virtual vehicle, a first control is provided in the graphical user interface; and in response to a trigger operation on the first control, a vehicle generation instruction is generated.

[0051] The specific target scene component for generating the virtual vehicle can be determined based on development needs. Generally, this component is an essential component for generating the virtual vehicle; for example, it could be the vehicle core and the seat components. However, it could also be other scene components, depending on the development requirements. In implementation, when a target scene component exists in the game editing scene, or when a selected scene component in the game editing scene contains a target scene component that satisfies the requirement for generating the virtual vehicle, a first control will be displayed in the graphical user interface. The player triggering this first control will generate the vehicle generation command.

[0052] like Figure 2 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of a display first control provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 The car-shaped component within the rectangular box is the selected target scene component. This car shape is the appearance of a vehicle assembled from multiple target scene components. Several controls are displayed below the car shape, among which the "Vehicle / Assembly" control is the first control. Figure 2 It also includes a delete control that can delete the selected target scene component, a move control that can move the selected target scene component, a rotate control that can rotate the selected target scene component, an edit control that can edit the selected target scene component, and an advanced settings control that can set the component parameters of the selected target scene component. Figure 2 It also includes two controls that are grayed out, namely the binding control and the scaling control. These two controls are not available when the target scene component is selected.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, the target scene component includes a first component and at least one second component; the specific process of generating a target virtual vehicle based on the target scene component determined by the vehicle generation instruction in response to the vehicle generation instruction includes: in response to the vehicle generation instruction, controlling the assembly of at least one second component onto the first component to generate a target virtual vehicle in the game editing scene.

[0054] In practical implementation, the aforementioned first and second components are also essential components for generating the target virtual vehicle. The target scene component for generating the target virtual vehicle needs to include one first component and one or more second components. The number of second components can be determined based on the vehicle generation command or player operation. When the player triggers the vehicle generation command, the first component and at least one second component will be determined according to the vehicle generation command, and the determined second component will be assembled onto the first component to form the target virtual vehicle.

[0055] In another optional embodiment, the target scene component further includes a third component; the specific process of controlling the assembly of at least one second component onto the first component in response to the vehicle generation command to generate a target virtual vehicle in the game editing scene may further include: controlling the assembly of at least one second component and the third component onto the first component in response to the vehicle generation command to generate a target virtual vehicle in the game editing scene.

[0056] In practice, a target virtual vehicle can be generated from the first and second components. However, the appearance of the target virtual vehicle will be relatively simple. Therefore, players can add a third component based on the first and second components to decorate the target virtual vehicle and make it more aesthetically pleasing. The third component can be understood as a decoration or decorative component, mainly used to decorate and beautify the target scene components. The third component may also include wheel components, which, through friction with the ground, can propel the target virtual vehicle to move within the game scene.

[0057] Furthermore, the specific process of configuring an overall physical simulation for the target virtual vehicle based on the physical simulation corresponding to each target scene component includes: merging the physical simulations corresponding to each target scene component to obtain an overall physical simulation, and configuring the overall physical simulation for the target virtual vehicle.

[0058] After assembling the target scene components into a target virtual vehicle, an overall physics simulation needs to be configured for the target virtual vehicle. This overall physics simulation is obtained by merging the physics simulations corresponding to each target scene component. In practice, after configuring and organizing the physics simulation for the target virtual vehicle, a prompt message will pop up in the graphical user interface to inform the player that the target virtual vehicle has been successfully created.

[0059] In an optional embodiment, the physical simulation can be obtained by: merging the physical collisions of each target scene component to obtain a merged physical collision, and configuring the merged physical collision as the overall physical collision of the target virtual vehicle; merging the masses of each target scene component to obtain a merged mass, and configuring the merged mass as the overall mass of the target virtual vehicle; obtaining the overall centroid based on the centroid and density of each target scene component, and configuring the overall centroid as the centroid of the target virtual vehicle.

[0060] In another alternative embodiment, a second control is displayed in the graphical user interface; in response to a selection operation on a scene component in the game editing scene, a first scene component is determined based on the selection operation; in response to a trigger operation on the second control, the first scene component is controlled to be combined so that the combined first scene component is configured as a whole component in the game editing scene. Specifically, the second control can always be displayed in the graphical user interface, or it can be displayed in the graphical user interface when a scene component in the game editing scene meets a specified condition. This specified condition can be determined according to development needs. For example, the specified condition can be that the game editing scene includes a specified control, or that the scene component selected by the player includes a specified control, etc.

[0061] In the specific implementation, after selecting the first scene component in the game's editing scene, the player triggers the second control, which combines the first scene component into a single, combined first scene component. This combined first scene component responds to component adjustment operations as a whole, while each individual first scene component within it maintains independent physical simulation. Specifically, these component adjustment operations can include moving, scaling, or recoloring the combined first scene component. In practice, while the multiple first scene components within the combined first scene component still possess independent physical simulations, the player can move and scale the combined first scene component as a whole, facilitating comprehensive component adjustments.

[0062] In practical implementation, when a target scene component exists within the game editing scene that satisfies the requirement to generate the target virtual vehicle, or when a target scene component selected by the player satisfies the requirement to generate the target virtual vehicle, a first control and a second control will be displayed in the graphical user interface. After the player triggers the first control, it will first determine whether the currently selected target scene component meets the following preset conditions: the selected target scene component includes at least the essential component (the essential component being the first and second components); the selected target scene component does not include scene components with preset characteristics; and the total area occupied by the selected target scene component is less than a preset range. The preset characteristics can be determined according to development needs; for example, the preset characteristics could be that the target scene component is a trigger area, sticker, effect, or creature. The preset range can also be determined according to development needs or player settings; for example, the preset range could be 6000 or 4000.

[0063] If the target scene components meet the above preset conditions, the following processing is performed: Physical collision is enabled for all target scene components that did not have physical collision enabled; physical collision and force effects are enabled for all target scene components that have physical collision enabled but not force effects enabled; force effects are then enabled for all target scene components that have physical collision enabled but not force effects enabled, and then they are welded to the first component; all target scene components are assembled into a target virtual vehicle, making the physical collision of the target virtual vehicle a unified whole. Welding is a physical constraint, referring to merging the physical collision and mass of two or more components with physical collisions together, and recalculating the overall centroid based on their respective centroids and densities; these components will be treated as a single unit when participating in the game's physical calculations.

[0064] If the target scene components do not meet the above preset conditions, the graphical user interface will display a message indicating that vehicle generation failed, along with the reason for the failure, to inform the player that vehicle generation failed and how to successfully create a virtual vehicle, thereby helping the player to quickly create a virtual vehicle.

[0065] In the above method, players can create a virtual vehicle by combining most of the scene components provided in the game's editing scene with the first and second components, without needing to worry about whether these scene components originally had physical collision and force effects enabled. At the same time, the physical collision of the vehicle created by the player needs to be a whole, and any collision of any part of its body will cause the vehicle as a whole to generate force, so that it can conform to the physical laws of the real world.

[0066] The following preferred embodiments describe a method for editing vehicle parameters.

[0067] Specifically, the above-mentioned response to the editing operation of the target virtual vehicle, and the specific process of determining the vehicle parameters corresponding to the target virtual vehicle based on the editing operation, may include: responding to the configuration operation of the target virtual vehicle by displaying a parameter setting panel in the graphical user interface; wherein the parameter setting panel includes multiple editable controls, which are used to configure the vehicle parameters of the target virtual vehicle; and responding to the setting operation of the parameter setting panel by determining the vehicle parameters of the target virtual vehicle.

[0068] In practical implementation, the specific operations of the above configuration operation can be determined according to research and development needs or troubleshooting requirements. For example, the configuration operation can be a trigger operation on the settings controls displayed in the graphical user interface after selecting the target virtual vehicle; it can also be an operation of selecting the target virtual vehicle, etc. Specifically, the above settings controls can be displayed in any position in the graphical user interface. For example, the above settings controls can be... Figure 2 The advanced settings controls within the system allow players to manipulate the position of a target virtual object. A parameter settings panel is displayed in the graphical user interface, used to configure the vehicle parameters corresponding to the target virtual vehicle. This panel includes multiple editable controls, each with different configurable vehicle parameters. The configurable vehicle parameters and setting methods for each editable control can be determined based on development needs and parameter types.

[0069] In practical applications, the vehicle parameters mentioned above can include one or more of the following: maximum vehicle speed, vehicle acceleration, the distance between the virtual camera and the target virtual vehicle when the virtual object is riding in the virtual vehicle, the wheel steering speed of the target virtual vehicle, the maximum wheel steering angle, and the control method of the target virtual vehicle. In specific implementations, the distance between the virtual camera and the target virtual vehicle when the virtual object is riding in the virtual vehicle is used to define the game perspective when the virtual object is riding in the target virtual vehicle. If the distance is set large, a distant view can be achieved; if the distance is set small, a driving perspective similar to a first-person game can be achieved. The control methods mentioned above include joystick mode and button mode.

[0070] In an optional embodiment, the parameter setting panel further includes a switch control; this switch control is used to control whether the target virtual vehicle can respawn after being destroyed. If the switch control is turned on, the target virtual vehicle can respawn after being destroyed, and the respawn location is the save location of the target virtual vehicle from the previous time.

[0071] like Figure 3 The diagram shown is a schematic diagram of a parameter setting panel provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 This is the parameter settings panel for the target virtual vehicle. In this panel, the maximum speed of the vehicle is set to 100, the vehicle acceleration is set to 20, and the distance between the virtual camera and the target virtual vehicle when the virtual object is riding in the virtual vehicle (equivalent to...) Figure 3 The camera distance during riding is set to 20, the target virtual vehicle's wheel steering speed is set to 90, the maximum wheel steering angle is set to 60, and the switch for infinite respawn is set to the on state. The vehicle control settings in the parameter settings panel are used to set the control method of the target virtual vehicle.

[0072] In an optional embodiment, the method further includes: in response to a selection operation on a first target scene component in the target virtual vehicle while the target virtual vehicle is selected, selecting the first target scene component; in response to an editing operation on the first target scene component, determining decoration parameters of the first target scene component based on the editing operation, the decoration parameters including one or more of the following: component color and whether it is displayed in the game running scene.

[0073] In practical implementation, the aforementioned first target scene component can be any one of multiple target scene components used to generate the target virtual vehicle. The specific scene component can be determined by player actions. After selecting the target virtual vehicle, the player can select the first target scene component by clicking on it again. Once selected, the player can trigger a settings control to display the corresponding editing window for the first target scene component in the graphical user interface. This editing window is used to set the decorative parameters of the first target scene component. Specifically, after the target scene component generates the target virtual vehicle, its physical properties cannot be modified. However, its non-physical properties can be edited as needed, thereby increasing the player's freedom of operation. The player can also modify the decorative parameters such as the color of the target scene component at any time according to their requirements.

[0074] In the above method, after creating a vehicle, players are allowed to easily modify its parameters. Furthermore, the virtual vehicles created by players can be diverse (passenger cars, tracked vehicles, bulldozers, etc.), and the handling of these different types of virtual vehicles can vary greatly in the real world. This method allows players to further adjust some detailed parameters to achieve the driving feel of these vehicles. In addition, this invention allows players to create custom vehicles by freely combining various scene components provided in the game. The appearance of the vehicle can be completely customized, including vehicle speed, acceleration, and handling methods, all of which can be customized by the player, thereby enhancing the player's gaming experience.

[0075] The following preferred embodiments are used to describe the control methods and operation permissions of virtual vehicles.

[0076] Specifically, the aforementioned target scene component includes at least one second component; the aforementioned vehicle parameters include a first parameter, which is used to configure corresponding operation permissions for different second components, so that virtual objects using the second component can control the target virtual vehicle according to the operation permissions corresponding to the second component.

[0077] In practice, players can edit the control mode of the target virtual vehicle during operation. This control mode can be either a joystick mode or a button mode. In both different control modes, players can customize which virtual object on a second component controls each button or joystick.

[0078] In an optional embodiment, the second component described above can be a seat component, and the virtual object can sit on the seat component. For example... Figure 4 The diagram shown is a schematic diagram of setting a first parameter according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 The screen displays the settings panel for the first parameter of the target virtual vehicle. The vehicle control mode in this settings panel is used to set the control mode of the target virtual vehicle during operation. Figure 5 The control mode is set to joystick mode, and the control type and control method corresponding to joystick mode are displayed in the settings panel; Figure 4 The left joystick in the settings panel is the joystick control corresponding to the joystick mode. The operation permissions of this joystick control are assigned to the vehicle seat (equivalent to the aforementioned seat component) 20, and the horn control is also assigned to the vehicle seat 20. Specifically, each vehicle seat in the target virtual vehicle has a unique name, that is, the aforementioned vehicle seat 20 is the name of a specific vehicle seat in the target virtual vehicle.

[0079] like Figure 5 The diagram shown illustrates another setting of the first parameter provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5The settings panel for the first parameter of the target virtual vehicle is displayed. The vehicle control mode in this settings panel is used to set the control mode of the target virtual vehicle during operation. Figure 5 The control mode is set to button mode, and the button type and control method corresponding to button mode are displayed in the settings panel; Figure 5 The operation permissions for the left turn button, right turn button, accelerator button, and reverse button in the settings panel are all assigned to vehicle seat 20.

[0080] In an optional embodiment, when the second component is a seat component, in response to the target virtual object sitting on the target seat component, pre-configured target operation permissions corresponding to the target seat component are obtained, and the target operation permissions are configured for the target virtual object; in response to the target virtual object leaving the target seat component, the target operation permissions configured for the target virtual object are cancelled. The aforementioned target virtual object can be a virtual object controlled by the terminal device, or a virtual object belonging to the same game team as the virtual object controlled by the terminal device.

[0081] In practical implementation, in response to the target virtual object being configured with target operation permissions, operation controls corresponding to the target operation permissions are displayed on the terminal device corresponding to the target virtual object. These operation controls are configured to control the target virtual vehicle to perform corresponding vehicle behaviors in the game editing scene and / or the game running scene corresponding to the game editing scene in response to triggered operations. The display format of the operation controls matches the vehicle behaviors, which include vehicle direction control and / or vehicle speed control.

[0082] In practical applications, players controlling virtual objects manipulate virtual vehicles using control panels. Different control panels are used to control different vehicle behaviors. For example, the control panels may include controls for vehicle direction control and vehicle speed control. Vehicle direction may include four directions (forward, backward, left, and right) or a 360-degree direction.

[0083] In an optional embodiment, the display format of the operation controls is also related to the control mode configured in the vehicle parameters. When the control mode is joystick mode, the operation controls are typically joystick controls or horn controls, etc.; when the control mode is button controls, the operation controls are in the form of buttons.

[0084] In an optional embodiment, when multiple virtual objects ride on different second components of the target virtual vehicle, vehicle behavior triggering instructions sent by the terminal devices corresponding to the multiple virtual objects are received, and the operating state of the target virtual vehicle is controlled based on the vehicle behavior triggering instructions; wherein, the vehicle behavior triggering instructions are triggered by triggering operations on the operation controls in the terminal devices corresponding to the multiple virtual objects. In specific implementation, if the target virtual vehicle has multiple second components, the target virtual vehicle can carry multiple virtual objects. Through the operation permissions set by the first parameter, different virtual objects can be enabled to control the target virtual vehicle according to their operation permissions, thereby realizing the ability for multiple virtual objects to ride and drive the target virtual vehicle together.

[0085] like Figure 6 The diagram shows two virtual objects simultaneously controlling a target virtual vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 The target virtual vehicle in the game contains two secondary components, each carrying a virtual object. Figure 6 The image on the right shows the graphical user interface corresponding to the virtual object on the left seat in the target virtual vehicle. The control labeled 2 in this graphical user interface is the operation control for the operation permission corresponding to the left seat. This operation control is the left turn button and the right turn button. Figure 6 The image on the left shows the graphical user interface corresponding to the virtual object on the right seat of the target virtual vehicle. The control labeled 1 in the graphical user interface is the operation control for the operation permission corresponding to the right seat, which is the forward and backward button. Figure 7 It allows two different players to control the forward and left / right turns respectively, thus enabling multiple people to ride and drive together.

[0086] In an optional embodiment, the target scene component further includes a wheel component, and the vehicle parameters further include a second parameter. The second parameter is used to configure corresponding motion attributes for the wheel component, so that the wheel component drives the target virtual vehicle to move in the game editing scene and / or the game running scene corresponding to the game editing scene. The second parameter includes one or more of the following: whether the wheel component is a steering wheel, whether the wheel component is a drive wheel, the steering coefficient of the wheel component, the mass of the wheel component, the rolling friction coefficient of the wheel component, and the static friction coefficient of the wheel component.

[0087] In practical implementation, different second parameters can be set to obtain different motion properties of the wheel assembly. For example, the greater the mass of the wheel assembly, the better the grip, but the greater the static friction force that needs to be overcome when starting; the greater the static friction coefficient of the wheel assembly, the more flexible the response of the wheel assembly when turning, but the more prone it is to rollover.

[0088] In practical applications, after a player selects a target virtual vehicle, clicking on the wheel component within that vehicle will select the wheel component. After selecting the wheel component, the player can configure it, and the corresponding editing window will appear in the graphical user interface. This editing window is used to set the vehicle parameters for the wheel component. For example... Figure 7 The diagram shown is a schematic of an editing window corresponding to a wheel assembly provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 The settings include whether the wheel assembly is a steering wheel, whether it is a drive wheel, and the steering coefficient. Figure 7 Setting 1.2), quality ( Figure 7 (Set to 10). Figure 7 The editing window also allows you to set whether the wheel component is displayed during gameplay. If a user wants to customize the appearance of the wheel component, they can hide the wheel component and then create a wheel component through the scene components and bind it to the scene.

[0089] In an optional embodiment, the response wheel assembly is configured with motion attributes, controlling the wheel assembly to rotate within the game editing scene and / or the corresponding game running scene to move the target virtual vehicle. Specifically, when the wheel assembly is in contact with the ground, it will move the target virtual vehicle forward, backward, left, or backward according to the motion attributes set by the second parameter; when the wheel assembly is not in contact with the ground (e.g., when the wheel assembly is positioned on top of the target virtual vehicle), it will rotate according to the motion attributes set by the second parameter, but will not move the target virtual vehicle.

[0090] In an optional embodiment, when there are multiple wheel assemblies, in response to configuration operations for multiple wheel assemblies, a corresponding second parameter can be configured for each wheel assembly, so that each wheel assembly has its own motion attributes. For example, if there are four wheel assemblies, two of them can be set as drive wheels; all four wheel assemblies can be set as drive wheels; or two of them can be set as steering wheels, etc., which can be determined according to the player's operation.

[0091] In practice, each wheel component is configured with its own motion attributes, and the target virtual vehicle moves based on these motion attributes.

[0092] In this method, after creating a virtual vehicle, players are allowed to modify some key attributes through simple editing: maximum speed, acceleration, wheel steering speed, whether the wheels are drive wheels, etc. At the same time, this method also allows players to further adjust some detailed parameters of the virtual vehicle to make the driving feel of the vehicle more in line with real physics.

[0093] The following preferred embodiments are used to describe the methods for generating game scene information and running the game.

[0094] Specifically, the graphical user interface includes a first interactive control; responding to a trigger operation on the first interactive control, controlling the generation of game scene information corresponding to the game editing scene; wherein the game scene information includes component information of scene components in the game editing scene; controlling the transmission of the game scene information to a server; wherein the server is configured to communicate with a terminal device, the terminal device is configured with a game program, the terminal device is configured to obtain game scene information from the server, and generate a corresponding game scene based on the game scene information through the game program. The aforementioned terminal device can be a terminal device that touches the first interactive control, or it can be other terminal devices that communicate with the server.

[0095] After triggering the first interactive control via a terminal device, game scene information corresponding to the game editing scene can be generated. This game scene information can be saved in a preset location, which can be a map file. This map file can save not only the game scene information but also other map information (including but not limited to screenshots, map names, logs, etc.). After saving the game scene information, the map file is uploaded to the server. Once the server approves the data, it can publish the game scene generated from the game scene information to a preset map pool. Terminal devices connected to the server can then download the corresponding game scene information from the server and generate the corresponding game scene based on the game program, allowing players to experience the game within that scene. This method allows game scene information from the game editor to be published and experienced by other players, thus achieving rapid UGC (User Generated Content) functionality.

[0096] In practice, players can experience the game through game scene information. Specifically, they can experience the game through the following steps 20-23:

[0097] Step 20: In response to the game running command, the game running scene of the game running stage is displayed through the graphical user interface. The game running scene includes virtual objects and target virtual vehicles generated based on the component information in the game scene information.

[0098] Step 21: Respond to the movement control operation for the virtual object and control the virtual object to move within the game scene.

[0099] In practice, the aforementioned movement control operations can be sliding operations on movement controls displayed in the graphical user interface, or dragging operations on virtual objects. Players can use these movement control operations to control the virtual objects to move freely within the game scene.

[0100] Step 22: In response to the virtual object moving to the boarding area corresponding to the target virtual vehicle, display the boarding control in the graphical user interface.

[0101] The designated boarding area for the target virtual vehicle can be determined based on development needs or player settings. For example, this boarding area can be a region within a preset range of the target virtual vehicle, or it can be the area calculated by expanding the entire bounding box of the target virtual vehicle by a specified length in each of the six directions: +x-axis, -x-axis, +y-axis, -y-axis, +z-axis, and -z-axis. Alternatively, it can be a designated area near the target virtual vehicle. When a virtual object moves to the designated boarding area of ​​the target virtual vehicle, a boarding control will be displayed in the graphical user interface. This boarding control is used to control the virtual object to ride on the target virtual vehicle.

[0102] Step 23: Respond to the trigger operation of the boarding control and control the virtual object to ride on the target virtual vehicle.

[0103] The aforementioned actions triggered by the "get on vehicle" control can be clicks, long presses, or swipes, depending on development needs. Once the player triggers the "get on vehicle" control, the virtual object can ride in the target virtual vehicle. Specifically, after clicking the "get on vehicle" control, the virtual object will sit in the seat closest to it. At this point, the graphical user interface will display the corresponding control for the seat the virtual object is sitting in, allowing the player to control the target virtual vehicle.

[0104] It should be noted that virtual objects will still retain independent physical collision on the seat component, thus enabling them to trigger events when entering the event triggering area and be destroyed when entering the destruction area.

[0105] In one preferred embodiment, in response to the simulated object moving to the accessible area corresponding to the target virtual vehicle, a vehicle reset control is displayed in the graphical user interface; in response to a trigger operation on the vehicle reset control, the target virtual vehicle, which is in a tilted state, is righted. Players can control the placement state of the target virtual vehicle through the vehicle reset control, thereby enhancing the gaming experience.

[0106] In the above method, by using the vehicle parameters corresponding to the target virtual vehicle, the corresponding operation controls can be displayed when the virtual object is riding in the virtual vehicle, and the target virtual vehicle can be controlled through these controls.
