Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of game technology, and more specifically, to a method for adjusting the motion of a hovering vehicle, a device for adjusting the motion of a hovering vehicle, an electronic device, and a computer-readable medium. Background Technology

[0002] In racing games, realistic physics-based cars typically have wheel-like movements that closely resemble those in the real world, such as acceleration, drifting, steering, and emergency braking, to provide a more immersive experience for players. However, for hovercraft, it's currently difficult to find real-world references for their realistic body movements. While some games feature hovercraft, their on-track performance is almost identical to driving a physics-based car, making them largely irrelevant for comparison.

[0003] To differentiate the hovercraft's body shape and handling from regular realistic physics vehicles, the hovercraft's body shape needs to be animated in different states. This will allow players to truly feel the difference between realistic hovercraft and other physics vehicles, thus gaining a better gaming experience.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the field for a method to adjust the body movement of a suspended vehicle.

[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0041] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided to make this disclosure more comprehensive and complete, and to fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to give a full understanding of embodiments of this disclosure. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that the technical solutions of this disclosure can be practiced with one or more specific details omitted, or other methods, components, apparatus, steps, etc., can be employed. In other instances, well-known technical solutions are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring various aspects of this disclosure.

[0042] Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative of this disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and therefore repeated descriptions of them will be omitted. Some block diagrams shown in the drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities. These functional entities may be implemented in software, in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different network and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0043] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a system architecture for an exemplary application environment in which a motion adjustment method and apparatus for a suspended vehicle, according to embodiments of the present disclosure, can be applied.

[0044] like Figure 1As shown, system architecture 100 may include multiple mobile terminals 101, 102, and 103, a network 104, and a server 105. Network 104 serves as a medium for providing communication links between mobile terminals 101, 102, and 103 and server 105. Network 104 may include various connection types, such as wireless communication links.

[0045] It should be understood that Figure 1 The number of mobile terminals, networks, and servers shown is merely illustrative. Depending on implementation needs, any number of mobile terminals, networks, and servers can be included. For example, server 105 could be a server cluster consisting of multiple servers.

[0046] Mobile terminals 101, 102, and 103 can be various electronic devices with processors, including but not limited to smartphones, tablets, and laptops. Server 105 can be a server providing various services. For example, mobile terminals 101, 102, and 103 can respond to vehicle control operations applied to the hover vehicle via their processors, controlling the hover vehicle to move within the game scene. During the hover vehicle's movement, they acquire the hover vehicle's state parameters at each moment, including its speed parameters, and then upload these state parameters to server 105. Server 105 can fuse the hover vehicle's basic body movements based on the hover vehicle's state parameters at each moment and return the fusion result to mobile terminals 101, 102, and 103. Mobile terminals 101, 102, and 103 can linearly adjust the hover vehicle's body movements based on the fusion result to control the hover vehicle's body movements to change linearly with the state parameters.

[0047] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the motion adjustment method for a hovering vehicle can run on a local terminal device or a server. When the motion adjustment method for a hovering vehicle runs on a server, the method can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interaction system, wherein the cloud interaction system includes a server and client devices.

[0048] 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 separate. The storage and execution of the hover vehicle's motion adjustment 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 user, 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 the game screen and other data, returns it to the client device via the network, and finally, the client device decodes and outputs the game screen.

[0049] 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.

[0050] In one possible implementation, this disclosure provides a method for adjusting the motion of a suspended vehicle, which provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device. The terminal device can be either the aforementioned local terminal device or a client device in the aforementioned cloud interaction system.

[0051] This exemplary implementation first provides a method for adjusting the motion of a hovering vehicle. This method provides a graphical user interface (GUI) via a terminal device. The GUI includes at least a portion of a game scene, in which a hovering vehicle controlled by the terminal device is displayed. (See reference) Figure 2 As shown, the above-mentioned method for adjusting the motion of a suspended vehicle may include the following steps:

[0052] Step S210. Respond to the vehicle control operation applied to the hover vehicle and control the hover vehicle to move in the game scene.

[0053] Step S220. During the movement of the suspended vehicle, obtain the state parameters of the suspended vehicle at each moment, wherein the state parameters include the speed parameters of the suspended vehicle.

[0054] Step S230. Based on the state parameters of the hovering vehicle at each moment, the basic body movements of the hovering vehicle are fused, and the body movements of the hovering vehicle are linearly adjusted according to the fusion result, so as to control the body movements of the hovering vehicle to change linearly with the changes in state parameters.

[0055] In the hover vehicle motion adjustment method of this exemplary embodiment, the state parameters of the hover vehicle at each moment are acquired during its movement. These state parameters include the hover vehicle's speed parameters. Then, based on the state parameters at each moment, the basic body movements of the hover vehicle are fused, and the body movements are linearly adjusted according to the fusion result. This controls the hover vehicle's body movements to change linearly with the state parameters. The hover vehicle motion adjustment method in this exemplary embodiment, by using a small number of basic body movements in conjunction with different action nodes for motion fusion during the hover vehicle's movement, and linearly adjusting the hover vehicle's body movements according to the fusion result, controls the hover vehicle's body movements to change linearly with the state parameters. This makes the transition between different states of the hover vehicle linear and smooth, conforming to the design concept of the hover vehicle itself. It ensures smooth player operation while showcasing the unique handling and charm of the hover vehicle on the game track, providing players with a better gaming experience.

[0056] Below, in conjunction with Figures 3 to 18 The steps described above in this example implementation will be explained in more detail.

[0057] In step S210, in response to a vehicle control operation applied to the hovering vehicle, the hovering vehicle is controlled to move within the game scene.

[0058] In this example implementation, a hover vehicle is a type of vehicle capable of suspending itself at a certain height above the ground. The wheel hubs of a hover vehicle do not contact the ground, such as a hovercar. In racing games, players can control the hover vehicle to move within the game environment using a terminal device.

[0059] In step S220, during the movement of the suspended vehicle, the state parameters of the suspended vehicle at each moment are acquired, wherein the state parameters include the speed parameters of the suspended vehicle.

[0060] In this example implementation, the state parameters of the suspended vehicle refer to parameters related to the driving state of the suspended vehicle, which are determined by the driving state of the suspended vehicle at each moment. For example, when the suspended vehicle is turning left or right, the state parameters mainly include the speed parameters and steering variable parameters of the suspended vehicle.

[0061] During the movement of the hovercraft, the terminal device can acquire the hovercraft's status parameters at each moment in real time. Among them, the speed parameter generally changes linearly, while other status parameters, such as steering variable parameters, can be determined based on the player's steering control operation.

[0062] In step S230, the basic body movements of the suspended vehicle are fused according to the state parameters of the suspended vehicle at each moment, and the body movements of the suspended vehicle are linearly adjusted according to the fusion result, so as to control the body movements of the suspended vehicle to change linearly with the changes of the state parameters.

[0063] In this example implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, the types of vehicle body posture performance of the hovering vehicle on the track can be roughly divided into the following: (1) vehicle body idle posture; (2) vehicle body posture when turning left and right and returning to center for buffering; (3) vehicle body posture when colliding; (4) vehicle body posture when jumping; (5) vehicle body posture when landing; (6) vehicle body posture when accelerating and lifting; (7) vehicle body posture when crossing the finish line.

[0064] Based on the above types of vehicle posture, the basic vehicle animation resources that need to be provided can be mainly the following: (1) Basic vehicle animation when idle, which is the default idle loop animation, which is the hovering vehicle slowly floating up and down; (2) Basic vehicle animation at the highest angle of left and right turns, which is a still frame; (3) Basic vehicle animation for straightening and buffering, which is divided into left buffering and right buffering. This animation is used to straighten after the left turn and after the right turn, so that the hovering vehicle can show the feeling of buffering and hovering; (4) Basic vehicle animation for collision, which is a collision loop animation, used to show the performance of the hovering vehicle when it hits a collision object in the track; (5) Basic vehicle animation for jumping and landing, which is used to realize the jump of the hovering vehicle and the animation of landing after jumping; (6) Basic vehicle animation for acceleration and lifting, which lifts the vehicle when the speed increases and lowers the vehicle when the speed decreases; (7) Basic vehicle animation for crossing the finish line, which is divided into left crossing the finish line and right crossing the finish line. It can be judged according to whether the player presses the left turn button or the right turn button at the moment of crossing the finish line.

[0065] In this example implementation, only a few basic vehicle body movements are used to satisfy the transition and fusion between the vehicle body posture and state of the complete suspended vehicle on the track. The following key points need to be achieved: (1) Animators generally only provide still frame animation resources of the highest angle of left and right turns. It is necessary to calculate so that the vehicle body can achieve complete left and right turns to straighten and the state change when turning to the highest angle of left and right; (2) It is necessary to determine the timing of playing the straightening buffer animation, as well as the conflict and interruption with the left and right buttons; (3) The greater the speed, the higher the vehicle body rises, and the lower the speed, the lower the vehicle body descends. This change should be a linear change, not an abrupt change; (4) The speed increase needs to be superimposed with the collision and jump actions; (5) The finish line action needs to determine the button direction. Based on the above key points, the specific technical details of the implementation are as follows.

[0066] In this example implementation, a small number of basic vehicle body movements can be used in conjunction with different movement nodes to perform movement fusion operations based on the state parameters of the hovering vehicle at each moment. The vehicle body movements of the hovering vehicle can be linearly adjusted according to the fusion results, so that the vehicle body movements of the hovering vehicle can change linearly with the changes in state parameters, and the vehicle body of the hovering vehicle can also switch linearly between different states.

[0067] In this example implementation, such as Figure 4 As shown, based on the state parameters of the hovering vehicle at each moment, the basic body movements of the hovering vehicle are fused, and the body movements of the hovering vehicle are linearly adjusted according to the fusion result. Specifically, this may include the following steps:

[0068] Step S410. Obtain the motion fusion coefficient and state parameters of the hovering vehicle at the current moment.

[0069] In this example implementation, calculations can be performed to first enable the vehicle body of the suspended vehicle to achieve complete left and right steering return to center and state changes from center to the highest left and right angles.

[0070] For left and right turns, only two still frame animations are provided in the basic vehicle body movements: the left still frame animation corresponding to the highest angle the vehicle body lifts when turning left, and the right still frame animation corresponding to the highest angle the vehicle body lifts when turning right. Figure 5 The diagram illustrates the left still frame movement, right still frame movement, and vehicle body movement in the intermediate default state of a suspended vehicle according to a specific embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0071] Based on the inherent characteristics of hovercraft, the intended scenario is that when the player doesn't press any buttons, the vehicle is in a default idle state. When the player presses the left turn button, the vehicle gradually rises to the left from its idle state to its highest angle, eventually stopping at a still left frame. Releasing the left turn button causes the vehicle to gradually return to its default position; the same applies to the right side. Furthermore, the faster the speed, the faster the vehicle should rise to the left or right, and vice versa. This design aims to provide players with a distinct driving experience compared to controlling a regular physical vehicle.

[0072] In this example implementation, the motion blending coefficient refers to the weighting coefficient used in the process of blending the motion of two left and right still frame animations. When using the Blender node to blend the motion of two left and right still frame animations, the motion blending coefficient can be set to the custom variable steerCurrent.

[0073] Figure 6 This diagram illustrates the node connections for motion fusion of the left static frame and right static frame base vehicle body movements of a suspended vehicle according to a specific embodiment of this disclosure. The Blender node's function is to interpolate the input ports based on coefficients. The formula for calculating the fused motion result is as follows:

[0074] Input0*Weight+Input1*(1-Weight)

[0075] The Weight value is passed in via steerCurrent. Based on the above calculation formula, when steerCurrent equals 1, the output Pose is the action of Input0 port, i.e., the left still frame vehicle action; when steerCurrent equals 0, the output Pose is the action of Input1 port, i.e., the right still frame vehicle action. When the player does not press the steering button, the hover vehicle needs to remain in the default middle state, so the default value of steerCurrent should be equal to 0.5, because the output action at this time is Input0*0.5 + Input1*0.5, and the calculation result is the action result of the default middle state.

[0076] In this example implementation, the state parameters include the hovercraft's steering variable and speed parameters at the current moment. The speed parameter is the hovercraft's current base speed. The steering variable parameter represents the hovercraft's current steering state. For example, when designing a steering variable parameter S_Steer (an integer type, defaulting to 0, with a value range of [-1, 1]), this steering variable is passed in by the script. When the player presses the left turn button, S_Steer changes from 0 to -1; when the right turn button is pressed, it changes from 0 to 1; when the left turn button is released, S_Steer changes from -1 to 0, and similarly, when the right turn button is released, S_Steer changes from 1 to 0.

[0077] Step S420. Determine the motion fusion coefficient of the suspended vehicle at the next moment based on the motion fusion coefficient and state parameters of the suspended vehicle at the current moment.

[0078] In this example implementation, based on the motion fusion coefficient and state parameters of the suspended vehicle at the current moment, the motion fusion coefficient for the next moment can be calculated, and the vehicle body motion for the next moment can be adjusted according to the motion fusion coefficient for the next moment. For example... Figure 7 As shown, the motion fusion coefficient of the hovering vehicle at the next moment is determined based on the motion fusion coefficient and state parameters of the hovering vehicle at the current moment. This can specifically include the following steps:

[0079] Step S710. Based on the motion fusion coefficient of the suspended vehicle at the current moment, and the steering variable parameter and speed parameter in the state parameters, obtain the linear change ratio of the motion fusion coefficient.

[0080] To achieve the effect that pressing the left or right turn button will cause the vehicle to gradually tilt and lift from its default posture to the highest angle in the still frame, a linear calculation of the motion fusion coefficient steerCurrent is required.

[0081] In this example implementation, the corresponding speed mapping value can be obtained from the speed parameter in the state parameters, and the linear change ratio of the action fusion coefficient can be calculated based on the motion fusion coefficient, steering variable parameter and speed mapping value of the suspended vehicle at the current moment, according to the custom steering linear change ratio expression.

[0082] The linear scaling factor of the motion fusion coefficient refers to the parameter that controls the rate of change of the motion fusion coefficient. After extensive fitting, a custom expression for calculating the linear scaling factor SpeedScale of the motion fusion coefficient can be derived as follows:

[0083] SpeedScale=min(0.6*c,max(-0.6*c,100*(0.5*(a+1.0)-b)*c))

[0084] Among them, port a is the steering variable parameter S_Steer, port b is the motion fusion coefficient steerCurrent of the hovering vehicle at the current moment, and port c is the speed parameter mapped to the speed mapping value between [1,5].

[0085] Step S720. Based on the motion fusion coefficient of the hovering vehicle at the current moment, and the linear change ratio of the steering variable parameters and the motion fusion coefficient, determine the motion fusion coefficient of the hovering vehicle at the next moment through the counting node in the editor, based on the linear change function of the fusion coefficient corresponding to the hovering vehicle.

[0086] To achieve linear changes in motion fusion coefficients, you can use the Counter node in the Graph editor. The Counter node generates a continuously changing value. For example, you can set an initial count value and then accumulate the value each frame based on the time change; when the set maximum value is reached, the Counter stops counting. By scaling the time, you can control the rate of change of the value.

[0087] In this example implementation, the maximum count value can be determined based on the steering variable parameter, and the motion fusion coefficient of the hovering vehicle at the current moment can be used as the base count value. Then, based on the base count value, the maximum count value, and the linear change ratio of the motion fusion coefficient, the motion fusion coefficient of the hovering vehicle at the next moment can be determined through the counting node in the editor, according to the linear change function of the fusion coefficient corresponding to the hovering vehicle.

[0088] Figure 8 This schematically illustrates a node connection diagram for determining the motion fusion coefficient of a suspended vehicle at the next moment through counting nodes, according to a specific embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 8 As shown, the calculation process of the Counter node can be expressed by the following calculation expression:

[0089] Base+ / -Time*SpeedScale=Floor

[0090] Where Base is the base value for counting, Floor is the maximum value, SpeedScale is the linear change ratio of the motion fusion coefficient, and Time is the time.

[0091] The Counter node is used to count during turns to obtain the changing steerCurrent value. This value is a weight of the Blender node and determines the attitude output during turns. Specifically, the Base value steerCurrent is first set (an integer, defaulting to 0.5, ranging from [0,1]). Then, the maximum Floor value is set. MathParser is a calculation expression node that allows users to define custom calculation expressions. After fitting, the Floor calculation expression can be, for example, (a+1)*0.5, where 'a' is passed in by S_Steer. The maximum Floor value changes dynamically, determined by the button state, i.e., the value of S_Steer, defaulting to 0.5, ranging from [0,1]. Curve Mapper is a curve mapper used to obtain the corresponding velocity mapping value based on the velocity parameters.

[0092] At the end of the entire Counter node, a variable modifier can be connected. This modifier modifies the value of steerCurrent every frame. Figure 8 The reason for showing the connection nodes is that the entire module needs to do the following:

[0093] (1) When not turning, that is, when neither the left nor right turn button is triggered, the vehicle body needs to remain in the middle state. This requires the default value of steerCurrent to be 0.5 (because steerCurrent is the weight coefficient of the previous Blender node), and the Counter does not count at this time.

[0094] (2) When the player presses the left turn button, the car body needs to gradually lift to the left according to the speed of each frame, finally reaching the highest left-lifting still frame animation output by the animator. The animator only provides the left still frame animation of the car body lifting to the highest left angle, so this process needs to use Counter to count and modify the steerCurrent value in real time, thereby determining the final blended car body action output by the Blender node. For example, when the player presses the left turn button, S_Steer changes from 0 to -1, and the maximum value of Floor becomes (-1+1)*0.5, which is 0. Calculate the SpeedScale at this time. At this time, S_Steer at port a is -1 and steerCurrent at port b is 0.5. Plugging into the SpeedScale calculation expression, it is: min(0.6,max(-0.6,100*(0.5*(-1+1.0)-0.5))), and the value output by this expression is -0.6. Therefore, based on the function of Counter at this time, Base-Time*SpeedScale=Floor, the steerCurrent will be reduced from 0.5 to 0 according to the speedScale, so that the car body gradually lifts to the left to the highest angle, realizing the left turn posture; when the steerCurrent becomes 0, the current Floor, i.e. the maximum value, has been reached, and the counting will stop. At the same time, the variable modifier will modify the value of steerCurrent to 0.

[0095] (3) When the player releases the left turn button, the vehicle needs to gradually return to the center position according to the speed of each frame, that is, steerCurrent needs to increase from 0 to 0.5. For example, when the player releases the left turn button, S_Steer changes from -1 to 0, and the maximum value of Floor becomes (0+1)*0.5, which is 0.5; calculate SpeedScale at this time, at this time, S_Steer on port a is 0, and steerCurrent on port b is still the value of the previous frame, which is 0. Substituting into the SpeedScale calculation expression, it is min(0.6,max(-0.6,100*(0.5*(0+1.0)-0))), the value output by this expression is 0.6, so at this time The Counter function, based on Base + Time * SpeedScale = Floor, increases steerCurrent from 0 to 0.5 according to SpeedScale. This causes the vehicle to gradually return to a neutral position from its highest leftward tilt, allowing it to straighten when the left turn button is released. When steerCurrent reaches 0.5, it has reached the current Floor, which is the maximum value, and the counting stops. At this point, the variable modifier will change the value of steerCurrent to 0.5.

[0096] Turning right follows the same principle; pressing and releasing the right turn button should produce the same vehicle posture change as the left turn button, which will not be elaborated here. In this way, based on the Counter node, the hovering vehicle's body movements—left turn raising, left turn straightening, right turn raising, and right turn straightening—can be implemented, and the entire process is linear.

[0097] In this example implementation, corresponding virtual nodes can be set according to the values ​​of the steering variable parameters, and corresponding recount events can be set in the virtual nodes respectively. When the steering variable parameters change, the corresponding recount event is triggered according to the values ​​of the steering variable parameters, so that the counting nodes can recount according to the state of the steering variable parameters.

[0098] Since the Counter node stops counting after reaching the preset maximum value (Floor), it's necessary to continuously send recount events at the moment of button switching, causing the Counter node to constantly restart counting based on the button state, thus achieving the desired attitude change of the vehicle body during steering. Specifically, as... Figure 8 As shown, the resetEvent event can be set to set_steer. This event is triggered by the selection made by the InputSelector each frame. The value range of S_Steer is [-1, 1]. Therefore, the MathParser node increments the value of S_Steer by 1, making its range [0, 2]. Then, three virtual nodes (VirtualAction) are used to connect to the three ports of the InputSelector. Each virtual node has a set_steer event set, which is triggered on frame 0 of each switch. When the value of S_Steer changes, the port switches continuously, triggering the set_steer event. This causes the Counter node to continuously count based on the state of S_Steer, i.e., the player's button presses, achieving a smooth transition between left / right turning and centering.

[0099] Step S430. Based on the motion fusion coefficient of the hovering vehicle at the next moment, fuse the basic body motion of the hovering vehicle, and determine the body motion of the hovering vehicle at the next moment based on the fusion result.

[0100] In this example implementation, during the steering motion fusion process, the basic vehicle body motion can include the basic vehicle body motion of the left static frame and the basic vehicle body motion of the right static frame. In the steering motion fusion node of the editor, the basic vehicle body motion of the left static frame and the basic vehicle body motion of the hovering vehicle can be fused according to the motion fusion coefficient of the hovering vehicle in the next moment to obtain the vehicle body steering motion of the hovering vehicle in the next moment.

[0101] In this example implementation, a speed-related parameter is added to the SpeedScale of the Counter node. The speed is limited to [0, 280] and remapped to [1, 5] so that the hovercraft's body is affected by the current speed when it lifts up during left and right turns. The higher the speed, the faster the SteerCurrent changes, and the faster the vehicle lifts to its highest angle. This provides the player with a more intuitive steering feel.

[0102] In this example implementation, the basic vehicle body movements also include a left-centering buffer action and a right-centering buffer action, designed to better match the floating feel of a realistic hovering vehicle. The left-centering buffer action plays when the vehicle body returns to center after the left turn button is released; the right-centering buffer action plays when the vehicle body returns to center after the right turn button is released. Figure 9 As shown, the method for controlling the return of a suspended vehicle to center after turning can specifically include the following steps:

[0103] Step S910. Determine the values ​​of the left and right homing parameters based on the motion fusion coefficients.

[0104] The key to determining when to resume the playback of the backtracking animation lies in identifying whether the left turn button was released or the right turn button was released in the previous frame. After resetting, the value of S_Steer is 0, but using only the value of S_Steer as a condition is insufficient. While S_Steer is also 0 by default, this doesn't reflect the release of the left or right turn button. Therefore, other conditions are needed to determine the button state in the previous frame. This can be done by checking the value of steerCurrent in the previous frame. By default, steerCurrent is 0.5. This value continuously changes when the left or right turn button is pressed and released.

[0105] Figure 10This illustration schematically shows a node connection diagram for determining the left and right turn parameters according to a specific embodiment of this disclosure. In this example embodiment, two variables, namely the left turn parameter `left_steer` and the right turn parameter `right_steer`, are set. `Arithmetic` is an arithmetic node. In the `Arithmetic` node, the value of the continuously changing `steerCurrent` minus 0.001 is assigned to `left_steer`. Similarly, the value of the continuously changing `steerCurrent` plus 0.001 is assigned to `right_steer`. When the player releases the left turn button, `steerCurrent` changes from 0 to 0.5, so the final value of `left_steer` is 0.499. Similarly, when the player releases the right turn button, `steerCurrent` changes from 1 to 0.5, so the final value of `right_steer` is 0.501. These two variables can sufficiently represent the state of releasing the left or right turn button, thus distinguishing it from the default value of `S_Steer`.

[0106] Step S920. When the steering variable parameter takes the default intermediate state value, determine the numerical relationship between the left return parameter and the right return parameter and the return reference value respectively.

[0107] To determine the conditions for playing the return-to-center buffer animation, we first need to determine whether the value of the steering variable parameter S_Steer is the default intermediate state value of 0. If it is 0, it means that the vehicle body is in the intermediate state. Then we need to determine the numerical relationship between the left return-to-center parameter and the right return-to-center parameter and the return-to-center reference value. The return-to-center reference value is 0.5.

[0108] Step S930. If the left return parameter is less than the return reference value, then the left return buffer action is connected after the hover vehicle turns left and returns to center.

[0109] If the value of the left-steer parameter is 0.499, then the value of left-steer is less than the reference value of 0.5, indicating that the car body is in the middle state after the player releases the left turn button, rather than the default state. Only when both of these conditions are met can the left-steer buffer animation be played immediately after the left turn.

[0110] Step S940. If the right return parameter is greater than the return reference value, then the right return buffer action is connected after the hover vehicle turns right and returns to center.

[0111] If the value of the right-steer parameter is 0.501, then the value of right_steer is greater than the reference value of 0.5, indicating that the car body is in the middle state after the player releases the left turn button, rather than the default state. Only when both of these conditions are met can the right-steer buffer animation be played immediately after the right turn.

[0112] Furthermore, in this example implementation, when the value of the steering variable parameter changes from the default intermediate state value to another value, it is necessary to interrupt the currently playing left centering buffer action or right centering buffer action.

[0113] When the centering animation is playing, if a turn key is pressed immediately before the animation ends, the currently playing left or right centering animation must be immediately interrupted, and the turn animation must then begin. This is achieved by having the centering animation return to the turn state when S_Steer is triggered, representing a key press state change. The trigger condition is that the turn variable parameter changes from its default intermediate value to another value; that is, when S_Steer is not equal to 0, it means a direction key is being pressed, and the currently playing left or right centering animation must be immediately interrupted to begin the turn animation.

[0114] After resolving the changes in vehicle body movement during left and right turns, a vehicle body lifting motion can be superimposed on the vehicle body turning motion, allowing the vehicle body height to change in real time according to the speed of the vehicle body. Specific implementation details are as follows.

[0115] In this example implementation, the basic vehicle body movement also includes a vehicle body lifting movement. By using the overlay node in the editor, a vehicle body lifting movement can be overlaid on the hover vehicle based on the vehicle body steering movement, according to the hover vehicle's speed parameters and the vehicle body lifting movement.

[0116] To give the suspended vehicle a feeling of being suspended and lifted, this example embodiment also designs the vehicle body to rise and fall to a certain extent according to the speed, and this process is also linear.

[0117] Figure 11 This diagram schematically illustrates the change in the suspension height of a hovering vehicle according to a specific embodiment of this disclosure. The speed increase must be integrated and superimposed with the attitude of the hovering vehicle's body in any state, thus requiring the use of Additive nodes. Regardless of whether the hovering vehicle is turning left, in its default state, or turning right, the faster the speed, the higher the vehicle body will be raised. Conversely, the lower the speed, the lower the vehicle body will descend.

[0118] In this example implementation, such as Figure 12 As shown, by using the overlay node in the editor, based on the vehicle's steering action, and according to the hover vehicle's speed parameters and vehicle lifting action, a vehicle lifting action is overlaid on the hover vehicle. This can specifically include the following steps:

[0119] Step S1210. Respond to the skill acceleration operation applied to the hovering vehicle and obtain the skill speed parameters corresponding to the skill acceleration operation.

[0120] Skill acceleration refers to the instantaneous acceleration skill in racing games, such as nitro boost. This skill grants a brief, instantaneous acceleration to the hovercraft from its current speed. The corresponding skill speed parameter, Speed_up, is determined by the skill acceleration action. When the player presses the skill acceleration control, the hovercraft's speed increases slightly, creating a feeling of the vehicle lifting off the ground. Because players are typically sensitive to button presses, this lifting sensation is quite noticeable. Figure 13 As shown, the counting method of the Speed_up parameter is the same as that of steerCurrent above. It can also be calculated based on the Counter counting node, which will not be elaborated here.

[0121] Step S1220. Obtain the corresponding comprehensive speed mapping value based on the speed mapping value of the hovering vehicle at the current moment and the skill speed parameters.

[0122] In this example implementation, the overall speed mapping value is the sum of two parameters. The first is the `speed` parameter, which is the speed mapping value mapped to the range [0,1] by the `CurveMapper` curve; the second is the `Speed_up` parameter, which is the skill speed parameter corresponding to the skill acceleration operation. After these two parameters are added together, they can be forcibly mapped to the range [0,2] using a `ValueMapper`. This is because the weight coefficient exceeding the `Additive` node is at most 2. However, during actual track testing, the final result of the sum of the two parameters must not exceed 2; otherwise, an over-adjustment and excessive acceleration may occur.

[0123] Step S1230. Use the comprehensive speed mapping value as the superposition weight value corresponding to the vehicle body lifting action, and superimpose the vehicle body steering action and the vehicle body lifting action according to the superposition weight value to obtain the vehicle body steering and lifting fusion action of the suspended vehicle.

[0124] Figure 14 The diagram illustrates a node connection schematically showing the superposition of vehicle steering action and vehicle lifting action according to a specific embodiment of the present disclosure. For example... Figure 14As shown, the calculation result of the Additive overlay node is: Base + Additive * AddWeight, which is an overlay fusion based on the output of Base. The state machine of the Turn node contains the Blender fusion nodes for left and right turns, and on this basis, a speed-increasing overlay fusion is performed, so that the vehicle's turning motion and lifting motion are superimposed. The Additive port is connected to a simple lifting animation with a slight angle increase, and the AddWeight coefficient is connected to a parameter formed by adding two speed parameters, i.e., the comprehensive speed mapping value.

[0125] In this example implementation, based on the realization of vehicle body steering and vehicle body lifting, when a collision or jump event of the suspended vehicle is received, it is necessary to superimpose a vehicle body collision or jump action on the suspended vehicle based on the current action state.

[0126] Figure 15 The diagram illustrates a node connection diagram of superimposed collision and leap actions according to a specific embodiment of the present disclosure. The superposition of collision and leap actions can be achieved through Additive nodes.

[0127] In this example implementation, the basic vehicle body actions also include vehicle body collision actions. In response to a collision event of the hovering vehicle, a vehicle body collision action can be superimposed on the current vehicle body actions of the hovering vehicle. Specifically, in response to a collision event of the hovering vehicle, the speed parameters of the hovering vehicle at the current moment are obtained; a vehicle body collision action is superimposed on the current vehicle body actions of the hovering vehicle, and the playback speed of the vehicle body collision action is determined according to the speed parameters; wherein, the playback speed of the vehicle body collision action is proportional to the speed parameters.

[0128] Since the vehicle's steering and speed increase actions were layered and blended earlier, a similar layering and blending should be performed during the collision, taking into account the vehicle's current position and height. Firstly, the playback speed of the collision animation can be determined based on the current speed mapping curve, such as... Figure 16 As shown, the faster the hover vehicle moves in the game, the faster the collision animation plays, and vice versa. This is to simulate the feeling of a high-speed collision. The collision animation needs to have the "Overlay Base Frame Position" option checked. This means that the animation position of frame 0 of the current animation will be overlaid onto the previous animation state. Checking "Overlay Base Frame Position" ensures that regardless of the hover vehicle's speed, its rising or falling position, or the location of the collision, the collision animation will be overlaid at the current position.

[0129] In this example implementation, in response to a leap event of the hovering vehicle, a vehicle lifting action can be superimposed on the current vehicle body movement. Specifically, in response to a leap event of the hovering vehicle, the speed parameters of the hovering vehicle at the current moment are obtained; a vehicle lifting action is superimposed on the current vehicle body movement of the hovering vehicle, and the playback speed of the vehicle lifting action is determined according to the speed parameters; wherein, the playback speed of the vehicle lifting action is proportional to the speed parameters.

[0130] To create a slight upward lift effect when the hover vehicle leaps, the previous lift animation and the preceding state can be overlaid and blended. To ensure a linear transition in the animation, a counter is used. This counter is similar to the previous counting method, but less complex than the steering part. Its Base value is 0, the Floor maximum value is 1.2, and the Speedscale value is mapped to speed; the higher the speed, the faster the slight lift, and vice versa. The counter is triggered by the hover vehicle's leap event S_fly. Counting begins upon receiving the S_fly event, and when the landing event S_Fall is received, it means the landing animation is about to begin, so the initial counter value is reset to 0. This ensures that the animation blending node only takes effect when a leap begins.

[0131] In this example implementation, in response to the landing event of the hovering vehicle, a landing animation can also be played when the hovering vehicle lands. Specifically, in response to the landing event of the hovering vehicle, the speed parameters of the hovering vehicle at the current moment are obtained; a landing animation is played when the hovering vehicle lands, and the playback speed of the landing animation is determined according to the speed parameters; wherein, the playback speed of the landing animation is proportional to the speed parameters.

[0132] The landing posture of hovering vehicles is relatively simple. Just play the landing action when the landing event is triggered, and control the playback speed of the landing animation through the speed mapping curve. Figure 17 The diagram illustrates the node connection diagram of the vehicle landing action according to a specific embodiment of the present disclosure. The playback speed of the landing action is related to the speed parameter of the hovering vehicle. The faster the hovering vehicle is, the faster the landing feels, and the slower the hovering vehicle is, the slower the landing feels.

[0133] In this example implementation, the basic vehicle body actions also include a line-crossing action, which includes a left line-crossing action and a right line-crossing action. The played line-crossing action is related to the current steering of the hovercraft. Specifically, in response to the hovercraft's line-crossing event, the hovercraft's steering variable parameters at the current moment are obtained; if the steering variable parameter is a left-turn state parameter, a left line-crossing action is played when the hovercraft crosses the line; if the steering variable parameter is a right-turn state parameter, a right line-crossing action is played when the hovercraft crosses the line; if the steering variable parameter is a default intermediate state value, a deceleration action is played when the hovercraft crosses the line.

[0134] Figure 18 The diagram illustrates the node connections for a finish line action according to a specific embodiment of the present disclosure. If the player presses the left turn button while crossing the finish line, the left finish line action is played at InputSelector port 0; if the right turn button is pressed, the right finish line action is played at InputSelector port 1; if nothing is pressed, the decelerated finish line action is played.

[0135] In this example implementation, by designing several basic vehicle body animations for the hovering vehicle, and then using an animation graph editor, through nodes, different events, and calculations of expressions and variables, operations such as action superposition or action fusion are performed on several basic vehicle body actions. This results in realistic vehicle body performance in different states during driving, such as turning left and right, collision, leaping, and landing. This makes the transition of the hovering vehicle body between different states smooth and silky, and conforms to the design concept of the hovering vehicle itself, greatly improving the handling feel of the hovering vehicle.

[0136] It should be noted that although the steps of the method in this disclosure are described in a specific order in the accompanying drawings, this does not require or imply that the steps must be performed in that specific order, or that all the steps shown must be performed to achieve the desired result. Additional or alternative steps may be omitted, multiple steps may be combined into one step, and / or a step may be broken down into multiple steps.
