[0062] <First Embodiment>

[0063] Figure 2A game skill-based display processing method according to some embodiments is shown, which can include the following steps S210 and S220:

[0064] Step S210, a first game scene is presented in a game interface of a user; wherein the user sets a first virtual character, the first virtual character is configured with a first skill in a first identity, the first skill is different from a second skill configured in a second identity determined by a character attribute of the first virtual character, and the first virtual character participates in actions of the user in the first game scene in the first identity.

[0065] In this embodiment, a user is a player in a game.

[0066] In this embodiment, the first virtual character can be a virtual character unique to the user, for example, the user creates a virtual character through a character creation function of the system. The first virtual character can also be a virtual character obtained by the user from a character library set by the system, for example, the character library set by the system sets Wujiang A to Wujiang F for the user to select, and the user can obtain a virtual character therefrom.

[0067] In this embodiment, the first skill is a skill configured by the first virtual character in the first identity.

[0068] In this embodiment, a virtual character is configured with different identities, and different identities of a virtual character correspond to different skills. One or more virtual characters can be configured with a second identity, when a virtual character participates in a battle in the second identity, the virtual character can be controlled by the user as an independent unit and participate in the battle in the game interface of the user, and the virtual character can use the second skill configured in the second identity determined by the character attribute. Wherein the second skill of the virtual character can be directly displayed in the game interface of the user, or the battle report of the virtual character using the second skill can be displayed in the game interface of the user, which is not limited herein.

[0069] In some examples, the first identity of the first virtual character is, for example, a military advisor identity, and the first skill configured in the first identity is a military advisor skill possessed by the first virtual character, and the second identity of the first virtual character is the original general identity. The virtual character can directly participate in the battle in the game interface of the user in the original general identity, and the virtual character needs to serve as a military advisor skill of other virtual characters of the user to indirectly participate in the battle in the game interface of the user in the military advisor identity.

[0070] In some examples, the first skill is different from the second skill, the first skill can be different from the second skill in release object, in skill effect, in effect intensity of the skill effect, without being limited thereto. For example, the first skill K1 and the second skill K2 are different in release object, the virtual character N can release the first skill K1 changing the terrain in the game scene when being in the identity n1, and the virtual character N can release the second skill K2 attacking other virtual characters when being in the identity n2. For another example, the first skill K3 and the second skill K4 are different in skill effect, the virtual character N can release the first skill K3 changing a land block in the game scene into a depression when being in the identity n3, and the virtual character N can release the second skill K4 changing a land block in the game scene into a flame-covered land block when being in the identity n4.

[0071] In the embodiment, the action of the user in the first game scene can be that the user controls one or more virtual characters to participate in a battle with other users, the first skill can be used by the user himself, for example, the user uses the first skill to obtain a certain amount of honor value, etc., the first skill can also be used by one or more virtual characters participating in the battle, for example, the virtual character A uses the first skill configured by the virtual character B in the first identity, and the attribute value of the virtual character A is improved.

[0072] In some examples, the skill corresponding to an identity of a virtual character can be one or multiple, without being limited thereto. For example, the first skill of the first identity of the virtual character C is set to three, when the first skill is released, one of them can be released, or two or three of them can be released in a certain order.

[0073] In some examples, when the first virtual character participates in the action in the first game scene in the first identity, the first virtual character cannot participate in the action in the first game scene in the second identity at the same time, that is, the second skill cannot be used in the first game scene.

[0074] In step S220, based on the first skill of the first virtual character being released, the skill effect associated with the first skill acts on the release object in the first game scene, and the object state of the release object being changed in the first game scene is displayed.

[0075] In some examples, the release object is the object targeted by the first skill, which is, for example, a virtual environment, a terrain, a virtual building, a virtual vehicle, a virtual character, or a user, etc.

[0076] In some examples, the skill effect can include a rendering effect and an attribute effect, and the change of the object state can be that the rendering effect of the release object is changed in the first game scene, such as that the virtual environment is changed from a sunny day to a rainy day, the terrain is changed from a flat ground to a low-lying ground, a virtual character is added with a fire special effect, and the like. The change of the object state can be that the attribute effect of the release object is changed in the first game scene, such as that the attack power of a virtual character is increased in the transformed virtual environment or terrain, the virtual character is automatically recovered after being transformed, and the like.

[0077] In some embodiments, the release object includes a first object directly related to the battle participated in by the user in the first game scene and a second object indirectly related to the battle participated in by the user in the first game scene, and the skill effect includes a rendering effect and an attribute effect. The first object is, for example, a virtual environment, terrain, a virtual vehicle, or a virtual character, and the second object is, for example, a user or a virtual building.

[0078] When the release object is the first object, the rendering effect and the attribute effect of the first object in the first game scene are changed. For example, the first object is a virtual character, and the relative position of the virtual character triggering the battle and the triggering time of the battle parties triggering the battle are changed. Before the virtual character D releases the first skill, the virtual character E can initiate a battle with other virtual characters on an adjacent plot; after the virtual character D releases the first skill, the virtual character E affected by the skill effect can initiate a battle with other virtual characters at a certain number of plots away. The certain number is, for example, 1, 2, or 5, and the like, which is not limited herein. Before the virtual character F releases the first skill, the virtual character G triggers the battle within a limited short time, and after the virtual character F releases the first skill, the virtual character G affected by the skill effect triggers the battle within a longer time. After the virtual character H releases the first skill, the attribute effect of the virtual character J affected by the skill effect can be to increase the recovery speed of the life recovery of the own party from 0 to 1 point / second.

[0079] In some examples, the release object in the first game scene can be held by the battle parties or pre-set in the first game scene. Also, one of the battle parties can be a user, or a user and a friendly party of the user, wherein the friendly party of the user can include other users of the friendly party or friendly artificial intelligence of the friendly party. The other of the battle parties can be an enemy party of the user, wherein the enemy party can include users of the enemy party or artificial intelligence of the enemy party.

[0080] In other words, by changing the skill effect in the first game for different objects, the skill effect of the first skill can be applied to the virtual characters of the battle parties, the battle between the battle parties is affected, and the user is required to reasonably use the virtual characters to release the first skill, thereby effectively improving the fun of the game.

[0081] In some examples, displaying a virtual character using the second skill can be displayed in different ways. Display method one: displaying the battle result of a virtual character using the second skill on other virtual characters in the form of a battle report; display method two: displaying a virtual character releasing the second skill on other virtual characters in a game scene; display method three: switching from a game scene to another game scene, and the other game scene displays the battle picture of a virtual character releasing the second skill on other virtual characters.

[0082] In other words, the first virtual character configures different skills with different identities, and the first skill can act on the entire game scene, changing the visual effect of the game scene, and changing the attack mode of the first virtual character, which requires the user to re-determine the attack mode of the first virtual character, enriches the strategy of the game, and increases the user's playing pleasure.

[0083] In some embodiments, in order to set some cooperation relationship between virtual characters to improve the diversity of game skills, the user also sets a second virtual character, and the second virtual character acts in the first game scene, and the first virtual character forms a set association relationship with the second virtual character in the first game scene based on the first identity.

[0084] In this embodiment, the second virtual character is a virtual character participating in the battle by the user, which can be selected by the user or selected by the game system, which is not limited here.

[0085] In this embodiment, the association relationship between a virtual character and another virtual character can be set by the game system or by the user, for example, the user can select virtual character J to assist virtual character K, that is, virtual character K and virtual character J are in a master-slave relationship, and virtual character K can act in the first game scene, and the first skill K5 configured by the first identity of virtual character J can be released by virtual character K.

[0086] In some examples, a virtual character can form a set association relationship with another virtual character, and multiple virtual characters can also form a set association relationship with the same virtual character, that is, the association relationship between the first virtual character and the second virtual character can be formed based on individual configuration, or can be formed based on unified configuration for the characters on the court.

[0087] In some examples, the first identity of the first virtual character is, for example, a strategist. The first skill configured with the first identity is the strategist skill possessed by the first virtual character. The second identity of the first virtual character is the original general identity. That is to say, the second virtual character can be configured with a strategist skill, which can be the first skill configured by the first virtual character with the first identity.

[0088] In other words, by setting a virtual character's primary identity as their primary skill, and allowing another virtual character to unleash that primary skill, and by setting different combinations of virtual characters, the system can make reasonable use of the virtual characters held by the user.

[0089] <Second Embodiment>

[0090] In this embodiment, in order to improve the smoothness of the user releasing the first skill, the second virtual character can release the first skill after receiving the release command.

[0091] In these embodiments, relative to the first embodiment described above, step S220 may include the following steps S2201 and S2202:

[0092] Step S2201: Receive the release command to release the first skill for the release target.

[0093] In some examples, such as Figure 3 As shown, the release command can be triggered when the user clicks on position T1 in the first game scene Z1 and then clicks on the first interactive control K1 again.

[0094] In step S2202, based on the release command, the second virtual character releases the first skill in the first game scene.

[0095] In some examples, after the first interactive control K1 is triggered, the second virtual character can release the first skill in the first game scene.

[0096] <Third Embodiment>

[0097] In this embodiment, in order to allow users to selectively participate in battles with their virtual characters and enhance the strategic aspect of the game, a character selection window can be provided for users to choose one of their virtual characters.

[0098] In these embodiments, relative to the second embodiment described above, step S2201 may include the following steps S310 and S320:

[0099] In step S310, in response to the first interactive control being triggered, a first character selection window is displayed on the game interface; wherein, the first character selection window includes a first option corresponding to the second virtual character.

[0100] In some examples, such as Figure 3 As shown, after the interface shows that the first interactive control K1 has been triggered, the user can click on the first interactive control K1 again to display the corresponding first role selection window.

[0101] In some examples, such as Figure 4 As shown, in the first game scene Z2, a character selection window K4 can be displayed to the user. The character selection window K4 can display options for the virtual character N, virtual character P, and virtual character Q that the user is participating in the battle. In the virtual character N's ​​options, the image, name, or animation representing virtual character N can be displayed in the first area K5, and the image, name, or animation of virtual character n1, which is associated with virtual character N, can be displayed in the second area K6. The character selection window K4 also displays the skill name J1 that virtual character N gains after virtual character n1 is attached to virtual character N. It also displays virtual character p1, which is associated with virtual character P; the skill name J2 that virtual character p1 gains after being attached to virtual character P. Finally, it displays virtual character q1, which is associated with virtual character Q; the skill name J3 that virtual character q1 gains after being attached to virtual character Q.

[0102] Step S320: If the user selects the first option, confirm that the release command has been received.

[0103] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, users can click on either the first area K5 or the second area K6 to indicate their selection of the first option for the second virtual character, thus instructing the second virtual character to release the first skill.

[0104] In some examples, such as Figure 5 As shown, in the first game scene Z3, the virtual character N releases the first skill at position T. The corresponding "rain" rendering effect can be displayed above position T, and the skill name J1 of the first skill is also displayed.

[0105] In some examples, such as Figure 6 As shown, after the virtual character N releases its first skill at position T, in the first game scene Z4, when the virtual character N moves to position T, the attribute values ​​of the virtual character's attributes S1 and S2 increase.

[0106] In other words, by setting selectable options in the character selection window, users can choose a virtual character to unleash their first skill according to their own needs, further enhancing the game's strategic depth and improving the user's gaming experience.

[0107] In some examples, when a user controls a second virtual character to release a first skill, the user can first select a virtual character from the displayed first character selection window, and then select that virtual character to release the first skill to the target. By setting different operation methods, the flexibility of user operation is improved.

[0108] In some examples, each virtual character has a secondary identity. For instance, if General A is a model of Guan Yu, then General A's secondary identity is Guan Yu.

[0109] In some examples, users can acquire different virtual characters through various methods, such as gacha pulls or system rewards. When a user acquires one or more virtual characters, these virtual characters can be considered as the virtual characters held by the user.

[0110] In some examples, the second virtual character can be selected by the user or by the game system; this is not limited here. In other words, the images, names, or animations displayed in the second area K6 represent the second identity of this virtual character.

[0111] In other words, by setting the secondary identity of a virtual character to the original identity of another virtual character, users need to call upon other virtual characters as their primary identity to cooperate with that virtual character, thereby increasing the game's playability.

[0112] In some embodiments, to further enhance the strategic nature of the game, the user also sets up a third virtual character and a fourth virtual character. The third virtual character is configured with a fourth skill under a first identity, and the fourth virtual character acts in the first game scene. The third virtual character forms a set association relationship with the fourth virtual character in the first game scene based on the first identity. The fourth skill corresponds to the same skill attribute as the first skill. When the second virtual character releases the first skill in the first game scene, the same skill consumption is generated when the fourth virtual character releases the fourth skill in the first game scene.

[0113] In some examples, the fourth skill sharing the same skill attribute as the first skill can be when the third and first virtual characters are the same virtual character, for example, both the third and first virtual characters are Guan Yu. The fourth skill sharing the same skill attribute as the first skill can also be when the third and first virtual characters have the same or similar attributes, for example, if both the third and first virtual characters have the fire attribute, then the fourth skill shares the same skill attribute as the first skill.

[0114] <Fourth Embodiment>

[0115] In this embodiment, in order to display different skills in the first game scene and enrich the first game scene, the second virtual character can be configured with a third skill. The second virtual character can not only release the first skill, but also the third skill.

[0116] In these embodiments, relative to the first embodiment described above, the method further includes the following step S410:

[0117] Step S410: Based on the second virtual character releasing the third skill in the first game scene, display the effect of the third skill on the releasing object in the object state.

[0118] In some examples, the second virtual character can also be set to have two identities. For instance, when configuring the character to appear in the game, the user can choose the second virtual character as the first identity to provide the fourth skill for other virtual characters, allowing them to unleash the fourth skill. The user can also choose the second virtual character to appear in battle as the second identity, meaning the second virtual character can unleash a third skill determined by its character attributes in the first game scenario.

[0119] In some examples, the second virtual character can be set to only one identity. For example, the user can choose the second virtual character to enter the battle, and the second virtual character can release a third skill or the first skill in the first game scene.

[0120] In some examples, the second virtual character is virtual character W, and the target of the attack is virtual character L. After virtual character W uses its first skill on virtual character L, virtual character L's attack power is reduced by 30%. With virtual character L's attack power reduced by 30%, virtual character W can use its third skill once or multiple times in the battle against virtual character L. Information indicating the effect on the target is displayed, such as the damage dealt by virtual character W to virtual character L and the damage dealt by virtual character L (whose attack power is reduced by 30%) to virtual character W. This information can be displayed in the form of animations, battle reports, etc.

[0121] <Sixth Embodiment>

[0122] In this embodiment, in order for the second virtual character to move in the first game scene and further enrich the first game scene, the second virtual character can receive action commands to perform actions and display the corresponding action effects to the user.

[0123] In these embodiments, relative to the first embodiment described above, the method further includes steps S510 and S520:

[0124] Step S510: Receive an action instruction that instructs the second virtual character to perform a set action.

[0125] In this embodiment, the action is set as moving to a certain location, capturing a certain plot of land, or capturing a certain building, etc., and is not limited here.

[0126] Step S520: Based on the action command, display the action effect of the second virtual character performing the set action in the object state.

[0127] In this embodiment, the action effect can be the animation effect or text effect of the second virtual character when it executes an action command. For example, when the second virtual character executes the action command to move to a certain location, the first game scene can display the character model of the second virtual character moving to that location, or it can display the distance difference between the current location of the second virtual character and that location, so that the user can quickly obtain information about the second virtual character.

[0128] In some examples, when the action command is for a virtual character to move to a certain location, the first game scene can display the character model of a second virtual character moving from the starting point to that location. When the action command is for a virtual character to attack another virtual character, the first game scene can display the character model of the second virtual character moving from the starting point to the location of that other virtual character and attacking the other virtual character.

[0129] <Seventh Embodiment>

[0130] In this embodiment, to facilitate user interaction control of the second virtual character, the game interface also displays a second interactive control corresponding to the set action, allowing the user to control the second virtual character to perform actions by triggering the second interactive control.

[0131] In these embodiments, relative to the sixth embodiment described above, step S510 includes steps S5101 and S5102:

[0132] In step S5101, in response to the triggering of the second interactive control, a second character selection window is displayed on the game interface; wherein, the second character selection window includes a second option corresponding to the second virtual character.

[0133] In this embodiment, the second role selection window can be the same window as the first role selection window, or it can be a different window than the first role selection window; no limitation is made here.

[0134] In some examples, different set actions can be triggered by different secondary interactive controls, such as Figure 3As shown, the first action can be movement, and the second action can be attack. When the user clicks on location T1, second interactive controls K2 and K3 are displayed above location T1. When the user clicks on second interactive control K2, the game interface displays a second character selection window, and the user can then instruct a virtual character to move to a certain location. When the user clicks on second interactive control K3, the game interface displays a second character selection window, and the user can instruct a virtual character to attack a virtual character or virtual building.

[0135] In step S5102, if the user selects the second option, confirm that an action instruction has been received instructing the second virtual character to perform a setting action.

[0136] In some examples, such as Figure 4 As shown, in the first game scene Z2, the user's character selection window can display virtual character N, virtual character P, and virtual character Q for the user to choose from.

[0137] In some examples, such as Figure 4 As shown, the user can select the second option either by clicking on one of the virtual characters N, P, and Q, or by the game system selecting one of the virtual characters N, P, and Q.

[0138] In other words, when the second virtual character releases its first or second skill, the same character selection window can be displayed so that the user can choose a virtual character according to their needs. Furthermore, the same character selection window can effectively save the storage space occupied by the game.

[0139] In some examples, for users to control a second virtual character to set actions, users can first select a virtual character from the displayed second character selection window, and then select that virtual character to perform the corresponding actions. By setting different operation methods, the flexibility of user operation is improved.

[0140] <Eighth Embodiment>

[0141] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the user's identification of each virtual character in the first character selection window, the first option includes a first image icon representing the second virtual character used to set actions and a second image icon representing the first identity of the first virtual character.

[0142] In these embodiments, relative to the third embodiment described above, step S320 may include the following step S3201:

[0143] Step S3201: Based on the area where the user selected the first or second image icon, confirm that the release command has been received.

[0144] In some examples, such as Figure 4 As shown, after the first character selection window is displayed on the game interface, the user can click on the first area K5 where the first character icon is located or the second area K6 where the second character icon is located to indicate that the user has selected the virtual character N as the first option, and the virtual character N will release the first skill as the second virtual character.

[0145] <Ninth Embodiment>

[0146] In this embodiment, in order to enable users to make reasonable use of different skills by virtual characters and restrict the second virtual character from releasing the first skill, users can set a corresponding skill remaining amount. When the skill remaining amount is insufficient, users cannot release the associated skill.

[0147] In these embodiments, relative to the third embodiment described above, the method further includes the following steps S610 and S620:

[0148] Step S610: Determine the user's remaining skill level.

[0149] In step S620, when the remaining skill amount is less than the skill consumption required for each virtual character in the set virtual character group to release its associated skill, the first interactive control displayed on the game interface is set to be unselectable; wherein, the virtual characters in the set virtual character group are associated with the virtual characters participating in the action as the first identity, the associated skill is the skill configured by the associated virtual character as the first identity, and the virtual character group includes the second virtual character; when the remaining skill amount is greater than or equal to the required skill consumption, the first interactive control displayed on the game interface is set to be selectable.

[0150] In this embodiment, the virtual characters in the virtual character group can be virtual characters in the first character selection window.

[0151] In some examples, each user can configure the same skill cap, or different skill caps; this is not limited here. When a user selects a virtual character and uses an associated skill, a certain skill cost will be incurred. For example, if General C and General D have the same skill attribute, then General C and General D will have the same first skill and the same skill cost. Of course, when General C and D have different skill attributes, their associated skills can have the same or different skill costs; this is not limited here either.

[0152] In some examples, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first interactive control K1 can display that the skill limit of skill A1 is 30 and the remaining skill quantity of skill A1 is 10.

[0153] In some examples, skill points can be replenished in several ways: Method 1: Replenish over time, for example, 1 point every minute; Method 2: Replenish skill points by winning battles against other users; Method 3: Replenish skill points by occupying specific areas or plots of land.

[0154] In some examples, the first interactive control being in an unselectable state can be grayed out or hidden, and the corresponding role selection window will not be displayed after the user clicks on the first interactive control.

[0155] In other words, by setting a skill cap for each user's first skill, users need to make good use of their virtual characters to utilize their first skill, thereby enhancing the game's strategic depth.

[0156] <Tenth Embodiment>

[0157] In this embodiment, to make it easier for users to intuitively determine the associated skills that can be used, the option that the skill consumption exceeds the remaining skill amount can be set to an unselectable state.

[0158] In these embodiments, relative to the third embodiment described above, the method further includes the following steps S710 and S720 after step S620:

[0159] Step S710: When the skill consumption corresponding to the first option is greater than the user's remaining skill amount, configure the first option in the first character selection window to be unselectable.

[0160] Step S720: When the skill consumption corresponding to the first option is less than or equal to the remaining skill amount, configure the first option in the first character selection window to be available.

[0161] In some examples, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second area K6 also displays that the skill consumption of the associated skill of virtual character n1, which is associated with virtual character N, is 5. This means that if the user's remaining skill points are less than 5, the option corresponding to virtual character N can be hidden or grayed out, making it unavailable. If the user's remaining skill points are greater than or equal to 5, the option corresponding to virtual character N can be made available, allowing virtual character N to release its first skill.

[0162] In other words, by displaying the first and second sets of options separately, users can quickly select the virtual character that can unleash related skills, thus enhancing their gaming experience.
