[0019] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0020] The accompanying drawings are schematic diagrams of the present disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. Some of the block diagrams shown in the accompanying drawings may be functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities. These functional entities can be implemented in software form, or in hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in networks, processors or microcontrollers. The embodiments can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the examples set forth herein. The features, structures or characteristics described in the present disclosure may be combined in one or more embodiments in any suitable manner. In the description below, many specific details are provided to provide a full description of the embodiments of the present disclosure. However, those skilled in the art should appreciate that one or more specific details may be omitted when implementing the technical solution of the present disclosure, or one or more specific details may be replaced by other methods, components, devices, steps, etc.
[0021] In the related art, a joystick control or a touch screen sliding control method is usually used to control the movement of a controlled virtual character to push a specific object in the game scene, so that the specific object moves to the scene position desired by the user. When the joystick control method is used, the joystick actually controls a controlled virtual object, and the user needs to control the movement direction of the controlled virtual character by manipulating the virtual joystick to push the virtual object to move. When the touch screen sliding control method is used, the touch operation object is a controlled virtual object, and the user needs to slide his finger on the screen to control the movement of the controlled virtual character to push the virtual object to move. When the game scene is more complex, these two methods require the user to control the controlled virtual character to move back and forth on both sides of the object to push the object and change the direction of movement of the object. The operation is more complicated and the control accuracy is poor.
[0022] In view of one or more of the above problems, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure provide a game control method, a game control device, a computer program product and an electronic device, which can be applied to games in which users need to control a controlled virtual character to move objects in a game scene to a desired position, such as a box-pushing game.
[0023] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the game control method can be run on a local terminal device or a server. When the game control method is run on a server, the game control method can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interaction system, wherein the cloud interaction system includes a server and a client device.
[0024] In an optional implementation, various cloud applications can be run under the cloud interaction system, such as cloud games. Taking cloud games as an example, cloud games refer to a game mode based on cloud computing. In the operation mode of cloud games, the running body of the game program and the game screen presentation body are separated. The storage and operation of the game control method are completed on the cloud game server. The role of the client device is used for receiving and sending data and presenting the game screen. For example, the client device can be a display device with data transmission function close to the user side, such as a mobile terminal, a TV, a computer, a handheld computer, etc.; but the game processing is performed by the cloud game server in the cloud. When playing the game, the player operates the client device to send an operation instruction to the cloud game server. The cloud game server runs the game according to the operation instruction, encodes and compresses the game screen and other data, and returns it to the client device through the network. Finally, the client device decodes and outputs the game screen.
[0025] In an optional embodiment, taking a game as an example, a local terminal device stores a game program and is used to present a game screen. The local terminal device is used to interact with the player through a graphical user interface, that is, the game program is downloaded and installed and run by an electronic device in a conventional manner. The local terminal device may provide the graphical user interface to the player in a variety of ways, for example, it may be rendered and displayed on a display screen of the terminal, or provided to the player through a holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device may include a display screen and a processor, the display screen is used to present a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface includes a game screen, and the processor is used to run the game, generate a graphical user interface, and control the display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.
[0026] In an optional embodiment, reference Figure 1 As shown, a flowchart of a game control method is provided, wherein a graphical user interface is provided through a terminal device, and the content displayed in the graphical user interface includes at least part of a game scene and a virtual mobile control, and the game scene includes a controlled virtual character and a virtual object, and specifically includes the following steps S110 to S130:
[0027] Step S110, if the virtual movement control is in the first state, responding to a first movement control operation acting on the virtual movement control, controlling the controlled virtual character to move in the game scene;
[0028] Step S120, if a binding event between the controlled virtual character and the virtual object is detected, the virtual movement control is controlled to switch from the first state to the second state, and the control area of the virtual movement control is divided according to the movable direction of the virtual object to obtain control sub-areas;
[0029] Step S130, when the virtual movement control is in the second state, in response to a second movement control operation acting on the control sub-area, the virtual object is controlled to move together with the controlled virtual character according to a control direction corresponding to the control sub-area.
[0030] Figure 1 In the method shown, when a binding event between a controlled virtual character and a virtual object is detected, the virtual movement control is controlled to switch from a first state to a second state, so that the virtual movement control can control the controlled virtual character and the virtual object to move together, which can improve the accuracy of the user's control operation and thus speed up the game progress; according to the movable direction of the virtual object, the control area of the virtual movement control is divided into control sub-areas, so that the virtual object and the controlled virtual character can be controlled to move together according to the control direction corresponding to the control sub-area. When the user needs to change the moving direction of the object, it is sufficient to change the control sub-area of the operation, and there is no need to control the controlled virtual character to move back and forth on both sides of the object. This can improve the convenience of the user's control operation and ensure the game experience.
[0031] It should be noted that the game system in the present disclosure can provide a game scene that is displayed (or provided) when the application is running on a terminal device or a server. Optionally, the game scene can be a simulation environment of the real world, or a semi-simulation and semi-fictional virtual environment, or a purely fictional virtual environment, which is not specifically limited in the present disclosure. The game scene may include, but is not limited to, controlled virtual characters, virtual objects, and other objects.
[0032] Among them, the controlled virtual character refers to the game character object directly controlled by the terminal device.
[0033] Among them, virtual objects refer to movable objects placed in the game scene, such as boxes, stones and other objects, and this disclosure does not make specific limitations on this.
[0034] Among them, the virtual movement control can be used to control the controlled virtual character to move forward, backward, left, and right in the game scene, such as a virtual joystick. In the present disclosure, the virtual movement control can be in a first state or a second state. The first state refers to the state in which the control object of the virtual movement control is the controlled virtual character. In the first state, the virtual movement control can be used to control the controlled virtual character to move forward, backward, left, and right alone. The second state refers to the state in which the control object of the virtual movement control is the binding body of the controlled virtual character and the virtual object. In the second state, the virtual movement control can be used to control the corresponding virtual object to move together with the controlled virtual character.
[0035] Below Figure 1 Provide detailed instructions for each step.
[0036] In step S110, if the virtual movement control is in the first state, in response to a first movement control operation acting on the virtual movement control, the controlled virtual character is controlled to move in the game scene.
[0037] Among them, the first state can be the default display state of the virtual movement control, which can be used to individually control the controlled virtual character to move forward, backward, left, and right.
[0038] The first movement control operation refers to a movement control operation when the virtual movement control is in the first state, and may be, for example, an up, down, left, or right sliding operation on a control area of the virtual movement control.
[0039] For example, Figure 2 As shown, a schematic diagram of a virtual movement control in a first state is provided, which can respond to a first movement control operation acting on the virtual movement control 201, such as movement control operations up, down, left, and right in the control area of the virtual movement control, to control the controlled virtual character 202 to move forward, backward, left, and right in the game scene. At this time, the virtual object does not move with the controlled virtual character.
[0040] In step S120, if a binding event between the controlled virtual character and the virtual object is detected, the virtual movement control is controlled to switch from the first state to the second state, and the control area of the virtual movement control is divided according to the movable direction of the virtual object to obtain control sub-areas.
[0041] The binding event refers to an event that treats the controlled virtual character and the virtual object as a binding body.
[0042] In an optional implementation, a binding event between the controlled virtual character and the virtual object may be triggered in response to contact between the controlled virtual character and the virtual object.
[0043] For example, collision detection may be used to determine whether contact occurs between the controlled virtual character and the virtual object.
[0044] Exemplarily, whether the controlled virtual character is in contact with the virtual object may also be determined by detecting the distance between the controlled virtual character and the virtual object.
[0045] The second state may be used to control the virtual object to move together with the controlled virtual character.
[0046] When the binding event between the controlled virtual character and the virtual object is triggered, it indicates that the user may have a need to move the virtual object. At this time, the virtual movement control can be switched from the first state to the second state to meet the user's need to move the virtual object.
[0047] In the second state, the control sub-areas of the virtual movement control may be divided according to the movable direction of the virtual object.
[0048] In an optional implementation, the movable direction of the virtual object may be determined according to the position of the virtual object in the game scene.
[0049] The movable direction of the virtual object refers to the direction in which the virtual object can move together with the controlled virtual character in the game scene.
[0050] Specifically, according to the position of the virtual object in the game scene, it can be determined whether there are obstacles in the front, back, left, and right directions of the virtual object, such as walls, boxes, and other obstacles, and the direction without obstacles can be used as the movable direction of the virtual object. It should be noted that, since the virtual object is bound to the controlled virtual character in the second state, the controlled virtual character does not belong to the obstacle of the virtual object.
[0051] For example, Figure 3A As shown, a schematic diagram of the position of a virtual object is provided. In this case, it can be determined that the movable direction of the virtual object 301 includes moving backward.
[0052] For example, Figure 3B As shown, another schematic diagram of the position of a virtual object is provided. In this case, it can be determined that the movable directions of the virtual object 301 include moving to the left, moving to the right, and moving backward.
[0053] By determining the movable direction of the virtual object and dividing the control area of the virtual movement control based on the movable direction of the virtual object, the user's operational convenience in controlling the controlled virtual character to move the virtual object can be improved, thereby speeding up the game process.
[0054] In an optional embodiment, the above-mentioned dividing the control area of the virtual mobile control according to the movable direction of the virtual object to obtain control sub-areas can be achieved through the following steps: determining the number of sub-area divisions according to the movable direction of the virtual object; dividing the control area of the virtual mobile control according to the number of sub-area divisions to obtain control sub-areas.
[0055] Optionally, the number of movable directions of the virtual object may be used as the number of sub-region divisions.
[0056] Optionally, when the control area of the virtual mobile control is a circular area, the control area of the virtual mobile control may be divided equally according to the number of sub-area divisions to obtain sector-shaped control sub-areas.
[0057] For example, Figure 3AAs shown, when the movable direction of the virtual object 301 only includes backward movement, the number of sub-area divisions can be determined to be 1, and the entire control area of the virtual mobile control 302 is used as a control sub-area, and its corresponding control direction is the control direction of backward movement.
[0058] For example, Figure 3B As shown, when the movable directions of the virtual object 301 include moving backward, moving left, and moving right, the number of sub-area divisions can be determined to be 3, and the entire control area of the virtual mobile control 302 is divided into three parts, corresponding to the control directions of moving backward, moving left, and moving right, respectively.
[0059] By dividing the control area of the virtual mobile control into one or more control sub-areas according to the movable direction of the virtual object, it is possible to prevent the user from making control in an invalid direction, which can improve the convenience of user operation to a certain extent.
[0060] In step S130, when the virtual movement control is in the second state, in response to the second movement control operation acting on the control sub-area, the virtual object is controlled to move together with the controlled virtual character according to the control direction corresponding to the control sub-area.
[0061] The second movement control operation refers to a movement control operation when the virtual movement control is in the second state, and may be, for example, a touch operation acting on a control sub-area of the virtual movement control.
[0062] Specifically, when the virtual movement control is in the second state, it can respond to the second movement control operation of the control sub-area, such as a sliding operation from the inside to the outside of the control sub-area, to control the virtual object and the controlled virtual character to move toward the control direction corresponding to the control sub-area.
[0063] It should be noted that when the virtual movement control is in the second state, since the virtual object itself is also the control object of the virtual movement control, the user no longer needs to indirectly control the movement of the virtual object by moving the virtual character, which can improve the convenience and accuracy of the user's control operation and ensure the gaming experience.
[0064] In an optional embodiment, the above-mentioned controlling the virtual object to move together with the controlled virtual character according to the control direction corresponding to the control sub-area can be achieved through the following steps: determining the relative position relationship between the controlled virtual character and the virtual object according to the position of the controlled virtual character and the position of the virtual object; determining the push-pull state according to the control direction corresponding to the control sub-area and the relative position relationship between the controlled virtual character and the virtual object; and controlling the virtual object to move together with the controlled virtual character according to the push-pull state.
[0065] Optionally, when the controlled virtual character is located at the target moving direction side of the virtual object, the push-pull state can be determined as the object pulling state; when the controlled virtual character is not located at the target moving direction side of the virtual object, the push-pull state can be determined as the object pushing state. The target moving direction is the control direction corresponding to the control sub-area.
[0066] Optionally, when the controlled virtual character is located on the target moving direction side of the virtual object, the push-pull state can be determined as the object pulling state; when the controlled virtual character is located on the opposite side of the target moving direction of the virtual object, the push-pull state can be determined as the object pushing state; when the controlled virtual character is located on the other side of the virtual object, the controlled virtual character can be controlled to move to the target moving direction side of the virtual object, and the object pulling state can be used as the push-pull state of the controlled virtual character. The target moving direction is the control direction corresponding to the control sub-area.
[0067] For example, if the controlled virtual character is located to the left of the virtual object, the control direction corresponding to the control sub-area is moving to the left, and the push-pull state can be determined to be the state of pulling the object; if the controlled virtual character is located to the right of the virtual object, the control direction corresponding to the control sub-area is moving to the left, and the push-pull state can be determined to be the state of pushing the object.
[0068] For example, in a scene environment, a virtual object is at the top of a convex corner and can only be pulled back but not pushed or moved left or right. At this time, the entire control area of the virtual movement control performs the operation of pulling the object.
[0069] According to the control direction corresponding to the control sub-area and the relative position relationship between the controlled virtual character and the virtual object, the corresponding push-pull state between the controlled virtual character and the virtual object is determined, which can enhance the performance diversity of the controlled virtual character and the virtual object moving together and ensure the user's gaming experience.
[0070] In an optional embodiment, the above-mentioned controlling the movement of the virtual object and the controlled virtual character according to the push-pull state can be achieved through the following steps: if the push-pull state is a pulling object state, the controlled virtual character is controlled to move together with the virtual object by pulling the object; if the push-pull state is a pushing object state, the controlled virtual character is controlled to move together with the virtual object by pushing the object.
[0071] The object pulling action may be an object pulling action preset for the controlled virtual character, and the object pushing action may be an object pushing action preset for the controlled virtual character.
[0072] By determining the push and pull state, and in different push and pull states, the controlled virtual character uses different actions to push and pull objects, which not only enriches the gameplay and increases the game strategy, but also conforms to the user's habitual thinking logic.
[0073] In an optional embodiment, the above-mentioned controlling the controlled virtual character to move together with the virtual object by pulling the object can be achieved by the following steps: based on a preset reserved distance, controlling the controlled virtual character to generate a reserved distance between the virtual object, and moving together with the virtual object by pulling the object.
[0074] The preset reserved distance may be a preset reserved distance for pulling the virtual object back.
[0075] In the state of pulling an object, by reserving a distance between the controlled virtual character and the virtual object, an action space is provided for the pulling action, which can simulate the physical logic of pulling the object, allowing the user to more intuitively distinguish the currently performed pulling action.
[0076] In an optional implementation, when the virtual object and the controlled virtual character move together, the control area of the virtual movement control is re-divided in response to a change in the movable direction of the virtual object.
[0077] For example, in response to a change in the movable direction of the virtual object, the control area of the virtual mobile control may be re-divided according to the changed movable direction of the virtual object to achieve dynamic update of the control area division state and improve the convenience of user operation.
[0078] In an optional implementation, when the virtual movement control is in the second state, an exit control in the second state is displayed in the graphical user interface; in response to a triggering operation of the exit control, the virtual movement control is controlled to switch from the second state to the first state.
[0079] For example, Figure 3A and Figure 3B As shown, when the virtual movement control 302 is in the second state, that is, when a movement binding relationship exists between the controlled virtual character and the virtual object, an exit control 303 may be displayed in the associated area of the virtual movement control 302 (for example, below the virtual movement control 302), and in response to a touch operation of the exit control 303, the virtual movement control may be switched from the second state to the first state to release the movement binding relationship between the controlled virtual character and the virtual object.
[0080] Specifically, when the virtual movement control is controlled to switch from the second state to the first state, the control sub-areas of the virtual movement control divided according to the movable direction of the virtual object can be converted to the default display state, and the exit control of the second state displayed in the graphical user interface is cleared.
[0081] For example, Figure 4 As shown, a state transition flow chart of a virtual mobile control is provided, which may specifically include the following steps:
[0082] Step S401, if the virtual movement control is in the first state, responding to a first movement control operation acting on the virtual movement control, controlling the controlled virtual character to move in the game scene;
[0083] Step S402, in response to contact between the controlled virtual character and the virtual object, determining a triggering event for binding the controlled virtual character and the virtual object;
[0084] Step S403, in response to detecting a binding event between the controlled virtual character and the virtual object, controlling the virtual movement control to switch from the first state to the second state, and determining a movable direction of the virtual object according to the position of the virtual object in the game scene;
[0085] Step S404, determining the number of sub-region divisions according to the movable direction of the virtual object, and dividing the control region of the virtual mobile control according to the number of sub-region divisions to obtain control sub-regions;
[0086] Step S405, when the virtual movement control is in the second state, in response to the second movement control operation acting on the control sub-area, the relative position relationship between the controlled virtual character and the virtual object is determined according to the position of the controlled virtual character and the position of the virtual object; the push-pull state is determined according to the control direction corresponding to the control sub-area and the relative position relationship between the controlled virtual character and the virtual object;
[0087] Step S406, controlling the virtual object to move together with the controlled virtual character according to the push-pull state;
[0088] Step S407, if the virtual mobile control is in the second state, displaying an exit control in the second state in the associated area of the virtual mobile control;
[0089] Step S408, in response to the triggering operation of the exit control, controlling the virtual movement control to switch from the second state to the first state.
[0090] The exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a game control device, which provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device, wherein the content displayed in the graphical user interface includes at least part of a game scene and a virtual movement control, and the game scene includes a controlled virtual character and a virtual object. Figure 5 As shown, the game control device 500 may include the following program modules:
[0091] A first movement control module 510 is used to control the controlled virtual character to move in the game scene in response to a first movement control operation acting on the virtual movement control if the virtual movement control is in a first state;
[0092] The state switching module 520 is used to control the virtual movement control to switch from the first state to the second state if a binding event between the controlled virtual character and the virtual object is detected, and divide the control area of the virtual movement control into control sub-areas according to the movable direction of the virtual object;
[0093] The second movement control module 530 is used to control the virtual object to move together with the controlled virtual character according to the control direction corresponding to the control sub-region in response to the second movement control operation acting on the control sub-region when the virtual movement control is in the second state.
[0094] In an optional implementation, based on the above solution, the game control device 500 may further include: a movement control event triggering module, used to determine an event that triggers the binding of the controlled virtual character and the virtual object.
[0095] In an optional implementation, based on the above solution, the game control device 500 may further include: a movable direction determination module, which is used to determine the movable direction of the virtual object according to the position of the virtual object in the game scene.
[0096] In an optional embodiment, based on the aforementioned scheme, the state switching module 520 divides the control area of the virtual mobile control according to the movable direction of the virtual object to obtain control sub-areas, including: determining the number of sub-area divisions according to the movable direction of the virtual object; dividing the control area of the virtual mobile control according to the number of sub-area divisions to obtain control sub-areas.
