[0049] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application clearer, the implementation mode of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The exemplary embodiments will be described in detail here, and examples thereof are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The implementation modes described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementation modes consistent with the present application. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the attached claims.

[0050] The terms used in this application are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this application. The singular forms of "a", "said" and "the" used in this application and the appended claims are also intended to include plural forms unless the context clearly indicates other meanings. It should also be understood that the term "and / or" used herein refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more associated listed items.

[0051] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used in the present application to describe various information, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other.

[0052] First, the nouns involved in the embodiments of the present application are briefly introduced:

[0053] Virtual environment: a three-dimensional virtual environment displayed (or provided) when the client is running on the terminal. The virtual environment can be a simulation of the real world, a semi-simulation and semi-fictitious environment, or a purely fictitious environment. The virtual environment can be any one of a two-dimensional virtual environment, a 2.5-dimensional virtual environment, and a three-dimensional virtual environment, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. The following embodiments are illustrated by taking the virtual environment as a three-dimensional virtual environment.

[0054] Optionally, the virtual environment is a battle environment for virtual characters. Exemplarily, in a battle royale game, at least one virtual character fights a single game in the virtual environment, and the virtual character survives in the virtual environment by avoiding attacks launched by enemy units and dangers in the virtual environment (e.g., poison gas circles, swamps, etc.). When the life value of the virtual character in the virtual environment reaches zero, the life of the virtual character in the virtual environment ends, and the last surviving virtual character is the winner.

[0055] Virtual object: refers to an active object in a virtual environment. The active object may be a virtual person, a virtual animal, an animated character, etc., such as a person, an animal, a plant, an oil drum, a wall, a stone, etc. displayed in a three-dimensional virtual environment. Optionally, the virtual object is a three-dimensional model created based on animation skeleton technology. Each virtual object has its own shape and volume in a three-dimensional virtual environment and occupies a part of the space in the three-dimensional virtual environment.

[0056] Figure 1 The structure block diagram of a computer system 100 provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. The computer system 100 includes: a terminal 110 and a server 120 .

[0057] The terminal 110 is installed and runs an application or webpage that supports releasing the directional skills of the virtual character in the virtual environment. The application that supports releasing the directional skills of the virtual character in the virtual environment includes at least one of a game application, an XR application, a virtual social application, an interactive entertainment application, and a metaverse application. In the embodiment of the present application, a game program is used as an example for illustration.

[0058] Terminal 110 is a terminal used by a first user, and the first user uses terminal 110 to control a first virtual character (a virtual character controlled by the first user) in a virtual environment to perform an activity, and the activity includes but is not limited to: adjusting body posture, walking, running, jumping, riding, driving, aiming, picking up, and using at least one of throwing props. Exemplarily, the first virtual character is a virtual person, such as a simulated person object or an animated person object. Exemplarily, the first user controls the first virtual character to perform an activity through a control on a virtual environment screen.

[0059] For example, Figure 2 As shown, a game client 111 supporting the release of directional skills of a virtual character in a virtual environment is installed and run on a terminal 110 as an example. A game interface 10 is displayed on the game client 111, and a virtual character 11 in a virtual environment and a directional skill control 12 are displayed on the game interface 10. The directional skill control 12 is used to trigger the release of the directional skill by the virtual character 11. For example, in response to the triggering operation on the directional skill control 12, the grabbing skill of the virtual character 11 is released.

[0060] In some embodiments, the virtual character 11 needs to adjust the viewing direction of the virtual character 11 and the release direction of the directional skill of the virtual character 11 before releasing the directional skill. In the case that the viewing direction of the virtual character 11 and / or the release direction of the directional skill of the virtual character 11 are inaccurate, the virtual character 11 cannot achieve the target effect by releasing the directional skill. For example, the virtual character 11 needs to capture the enemy virtual character in the game by releasing the directional skill. In the case that the viewing direction of the virtual character 11 and / or the release direction of the directional skill of the virtual character 11 are inaccurate, it is impossible to accurately capture the enemy virtual character.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, the user can complete a series of coherent operations on the directional skill control 12 to adjust both the viewing direction of the virtual character 11 and the release direction of the directional skills of the virtual character 11.

[0062] The terminal 110 is connected to the server 120 via a wireless network or a wired network.

[0063] The server 120 includes at least one of a single server, multiple servers, a cloud computing platform, and a virtualization center. Exemplarily, the server 120 includes a processor 121 and a memory 122, and the memory 122 includes a receiving module 1221, a display module 1222, and a sending module 1223. The receiving module 1221 is used to receive a request sent by the terminal 110; the display module 1222 is used to display the program interface of the game program that supports the release of the directional skills of the virtual character in the virtual environment; and the sending module 1223 is used to send a response to the terminal 110. The server 120 is used to provide background services for the game program that supports the release of the directional skills of the virtual character in the virtual environment. Optionally, the server 120 undertakes the main computing work and the terminal 110 undertakes the secondary computing work; or, the server 120 undertakes the secondary computing work and the terminal 110 undertakes the main computing work; or, the server 120 and the terminal 110 undertake the computing work in a collaborative manner.

[0064] Optionally, the device type of the terminal 110 includes at least one of a smart phone, a smart watch, a vehicle-mounted terminal, a wearable device, a smart TV, a tablet computer, an e-book reader, an MP3 player, an MP4 player, a laptop computer, and a desktop computer. The following embodiments are described by taking the terminal 110 as an example including a smart phone.

[0065] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the number of the terminals 110 may be more or less. For example, there may be only one terminal 110, or there may be dozens or hundreds of terminals 110, or a greater number. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the number and device type of the terminals 110.

[0066] In the related art, the user adjusts the viewing direction of the virtual character in the virtual environment and the release direction of the directional skill of the virtual character through at least two independent operations, so as to achieve the target effect by releasing the directional skill. Figure 3 As shown, in response to the adjustment operation on the view adjustment control 13, the view direction of the virtual character 11 is adjusted; and in response to the adjustment operation on the directional skill control 12, the release direction of the directional skill of the virtual character 11 is adjusted. It should be understood that the adjustment operation on the view adjustment control 13 and the adjustment operation on the directional skill control 12 are two independent operations. Figure 3 As shown, the user needs to control the adjustment operation for the viewing angle adjustment control 13 with the left hand, and control the adjustment operation for the directional skill control 12 with the right hand. Alternatively, the user first controls the adjustment operation for the viewing angle adjustment control 13 with the right hand, then needs to leave the operation page, and then control the adjustment operation for the directional skill control 12.

[0067] In some embodiments, in the above scheme, the user needs to perform at least two independent operations to release the directional skills of the virtual character in the target direction. The user's operation steps are cumbersome and the operation experience is poor.

[0068] In response to the above problems, an aiming method in a virtual environment is provided in an embodiment of the present application, so that when a user needs to release the directional skills of a virtual character in a target direction, it can be achieved through a continuous operation without having to perform different operations.

[0069] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for aiming in a virtual environment provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 The terminal 110 shown in the figure is used as an example. The method comprises the following steps:

[0070] Step 210: Displaying a virtual character and directional skill controls in a virtual environment;

[0071] In some embodiments, a game interface for a virtual character to perform activities is displayed, and the game interface includes at least a virtual character and a directional skill control located in a virtual environment.

[0072] Optionally, the virtual character in the virtual environment includes a virtual character controlled by a first user and a virtual character controlled by another user. In the embodiment of the present application, a virtual character 1 controlled by a first user and a virtual character 2 controlled by a second user are used as examples for illustration.

[0073] In some embodiments, the image of the virtual character 1 controlled by the first user and the image of the virtual character 2 controlled by the second user are the same, for example, the image of the virtual character 1 controlled by the first user and the image of the virtual character 2 controlled by the second user are the same cartoon character. In some embodiments, the image of the virtual character 1 controlled by the first user and the image of the virtual character 2 controlled by the second user are different, for example, the image of the virtual character 1 controlled by the first user is a cartoon character, and the image of the virtual character 2 controlled by the second user is an anime character.

[0074] In some embodiments, the directional skill control is used to trigger the virtual character to release a directional skill. Optionally, the directional skill control is used to enable the first user to control the virtual character 1 to release a directional skill. Optionally, the display form of the directional skill control is arbitrary. For example, the display form of the directional skill control can be circular or square or other forms.

[0075] Step 220: In response to a trigger operation on the directional skill control, display the directional skill control as a first wheel;

[0076] In some embodiments, the triggering operation for the directional skill control includes at least one of single click, double click, left and right slide, up and down slide, long press, hover, face recognition, and voice recognition. It is worth noting that the triggering operation for the directional skill control includes but is not limited to the above mentioned ones. Those skilled in the art should be able to know that any operation that can achieve the above functions belongs to the protection scope of the embodiments of this application.

[0077] In some embodiments, the first wheel is used by the first user to adjust the viewing direction of the virtual character. In the embodiment of the present application, the viewing direction of the virtual character is a first-person viewing direction, which can be adjusted in any direction.

[0078] It should be understood that in response to a trigger operation for the directional skill control, displaying the directional skill control as a first wheel includes: in response to a trigger operation for the directional skill control, canceling the display of the directional skill control, and displaying the first wheel in the area of ​​the directional skill control.

[0079] In some embodiments, in response to a trigger operation on a directional skill control, displaying a first wheel on the directional skill control includes: in response to a trigger operation on the directional skill control, retaining the display of the directional skill control, and displaying the first wheel above the directional skill control. The first wheel is overlaid on the directional skill control.

[0080] For example, Figure 5As shown, in response to a trigger operation on the directional skill control 12 , a first wheel 14 is displayed on the directional skill control 12 .

[0081] Step 230: In response to the dragging operation on the first wheel, adjusting the viewing direction of the virtual character;

[0082] In some embodiments, the dragging operation on the first wheel includes at least one of single click, double click, left and right slide, up and down slide, long press, hover, face recognition, and voice recognition. It is worth noting that the dragging operation on the first wheel includes but is not limited to the above mentioned ones. Those skilled in the art should be able to know that any operation that can achieve the above functions belongs to the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.

[0083] Generally, the dragging operation on the first wheel includes a clockwise dragging operation on the first wheel and a counterclockwise dragging operation on the first wheel. The clockwise dragging operation on the first wheel is used to adjust the viewing direction of the virtual character in a clockwise direction, and the counterclockwise dragging operation on the first wheel is used to adjust the viewing direction of the virtual character in a counterclockwise direction.

[0084] For example, Figure 6 As shown, in response to a clockwise drag operation on the first wheel 14 , the viewing direction of the virtual character 11 is adjusted clockwise; in response to a counterclockwise drag operation on the first wheel 14 , the viewing direction of the virtual character 11 is adjusted counterclockwise.

[0085] In some embodiments, the first wheel includes a first virtual joystick for adjusting the viewing direction of the virtual character. Figure 6 As shown, in response to the dragging operation on the first virtual joystick 31 , the viewing direction of the virtual character 11 is adjusted.

[0086] Step 240: If the dragging operation is not completed and the wheel switching condition is met, the first wheel is switched to be displayed as the second wheel;

[0087] In some embodiments, the roulette wheel switching condition is used to trigger the switching display between the first roulette wheel and the second roulette wheel. Optionally, the roulette wheel switching condition is a pre-set fixed condition. Optionally, the roulette wheel switching condition is an adjustable condition. For example, the roulette wheel switching condition is a condition that is adjusted by the user during actual operation.

[0088] Optionally, the roulette switch condition includes one of the following:

[0089] The avatar's viewing direction is toward the enemy display element;

[0090] The continuous touch operation detected in the viewing angle adjustment area ends.

[0091] In some embodiments, the enemy refers to a virtual character controlled by another user other than the virtual character 1 controlled by the first user in the virtual environment, such as a virtual character 2 controlled by the second user. The enemy display element refers to a display element used to represent the enemy, such as a sound element. Optionally, the display position of the enemy display element is fixed. Optionally, the display position of the enemy display element is changed based on the position of the enemy virtual character.

[0092] In some embodiments, when the viewing direction of the virtual character is toward the display area where the enemy display element is located, it is determined that the viewing direction of the virtual character is toward the enemy display element. Optionally, the display area is an area of ​​fixed size and fixed shape. For example, the display area is a fan-shaped display area based on the enemy display element.

[0093] In some embodiments, when the drag operation is not completed and the roulette wheel switching condition is met, the first roulette wheel is switched to be displayed as the second roulette wheel, including: when the drag operation is not completed and the roulette wheel switching condition is met, the first roulette wheel is canceled from being displayed, and the second roulette wheel is displayed in the display area of ​​the first roulette wheel.

[0094] In some embodiments, when the drag operation is not ended and the wheel switching condition is met, switching the first wheel to the second wheel includes: when the drag operation is not ended and the wheel switching condition is met, keeping the first wheel displayed, and displaying the second wheel in the display area of ​​the first wheel. The second wheel is covered on the first wheel.

[0095] For example, Figure 7 As shown, when the dragging operation is not completed and the wheel switching condition is satisfied, the first wheel 14 is switched to be displayed as the second wheel 15 .

[0096] In some embodiments, the second wheel is used by the first user to adjust the directional skill release direction of the virtual character.

[0097] Optionally, the display forms of the first roulette wheel and the second roulette wheel are arbitrary. For example, the display form of the first roulette wheel can be round, square or other forms. Optionally, the display forms of the first roulette wheel and the second roulette wheel are the same. For example, the first roulette wheel and the second roulette wheel are both round roulette wheels of the same size. Optionally, the display forms of the first roulette wheel and the second roulette wheel are different. For example, the first roulette wheel is a round roulette wheel corresponding to size 1, and the second roulette wheel is a round roulette wheel corresponding to size 2.

[0098] Optionally, the center points of the first roulette and the second roulette are the same. For example, if the center point of the first roulette is located at the first coordinate point on the game interface, the center point of the second roulette is also located at the first coordinate point on the game interface. Optionally, when the center points of the first roulette and the second roulette are the same, other display conditions of the first roulette and the second roulette may be different or the same. For example, when the center points of the first roulette and the second roulette are the same, the display area of ​​the second roulette is larger than the display area of ​​the first roulette; or, the display color of the first roulette is the first color, and the display color of the second roulette is the second color. When the center points of the first roulette and the second roulette are the same, other display conditions of the first roulette and the second roulette are different, so that the first user can avoid the failure to observe the switching between the first roulette and the second roulette in time due to the occlusion of the finger when operating on the first roulette. Optionally, the positions of the first virtual joystick on the first roulette and the second virtual joystick on the second roulette are the same.

[0099] Optionally, the center points of the first roulette wheel and the second roulette wheel are different. For example, the center point of the first roulette wheel is located at a first coordinate point on the game interface, and the center point of the second roulette wheel is located at a second coordinate point on the game interface. Optionally, the center point of the second roulette wheel is determined based on the drag position at the switching display moment, and the switching display moment is the moment when the first roulette wheel switches to display as the second roulette wheel. For example, the first user performs a drag operation on the first roulette wheel, and when moving to the target drag position, it is determined that the viewing direction of the virtual character is toward the enemy display element. At this time, the first roulette wheel will switch to display as the second roulette wheel, and the target drag position will be used as the center point of the second roulette wheel. Optionally, the positions of the first virtual joystick on the first roulette wheel and the second virtual joystick on the second roulette wheel are different.

[0100] In some embodiments, when the center points of the first roulette wheel and the second roulette wheel are different, it is possible to avoid coupling of the operation responses on the first roulette wheel and the second roulette wheel when the drag operation on the first roulette wheel and the drag operation on the second roulette wheel are a coherent operation. For example, when the center points of the first roulette wheel and the second roulette wheel are the same, the first user performs a drag operation on the first roulette wheel, and when moving to the target drag position, it is determined that the viewing direction of the virtual character is toward the enemy display element, and the first roulette wheel will switch to display as the second roulette wheel. At this time, the terminal may mistakenly respond to the first user's finger position at the target drag position, thereby causing the directional skill release direction of the virtual character to be incorrectly adjusted, and further requiring the user to spend more time to adjust.

[0101] In the embodiment of the present application, an example is given in which the first wheel is a circular wheel filled with oblique lines and the second wheel is a circular wheel filled with cross lines.

[0102] Step 250: In response to the dragging operation on the second wheel, adjusting the directional skill release direction of the virtual character to the target direction;

[0103] In some embodiments, the dragging operation on the second wheel includes at least one of single click, double click, left and right slide, up and down slide, long press, hover, face recognition, and voice recognition. It is worth noting that the dragging operation on the second wheel includes but is not limited to the above mentioned ones. Those skilled in the art should be able to know that any operation that can achieve the above functions belongs to the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.

[0104] It should be understood that the dragging operation on the second wheel and the above-mentioned dragging operation on the first wheel are the same dragging operation, which is an operation extending from the first wheel to the second wheel.

[0105] Generally, the dragging operation on the second wheel includes a clockwise dragging operation on the second wheel and a counterclockwise dragging operation on the second wheel. The clockwise dragging operation on the second wheel is used to adjust the release direction of the virtual character's directional skills to a clockwise direction, and the counterclockwise dragging operation on the second wheel is used to adjust the release direction of the virtual character's directional skills to a counterclockwise direction.

[0106] For example, Figure 8 As shown, in response to a clockwise dragging operation on the second wheel 15, the directional skill release direction of the virtual character 11 is adjusted clockwise; in response to a counterclockwise dragging operation on the second wheel 15, the directional skill release direction of the virtual character 11 is adjusted counterclockwise.

[0107] In some embodiments, the second wheel includes a second virtual joystick for adjusting the viewing direction of the virtual character. In response to a drag operation on the second virtual joystick, the directional skill release direction of the virtual character is adjusted to a target direction. In some embodiments, the target direction is the direction in which the enemy virtual character is located.

[0108] Step 260: In response to a release operation on the directional skill control, release the directional skill of the virtual character in the target direction.

[0109] In some embodiments, the release operation for the directional skill control includes at least one of single click, double click, left and right slide, up and down slide, long press, hover, face recognition, and voice recognition. It is worth noting that the release operation for the directional skill control includes but is not limited to the above-mentioned ones. Those skilled in the art should be able to know that any operation that can achieve the above functions belongs to the protection scope of the embodiments of this application.

[0110] It should be noted that the triggering operation on the directional skill control, the dragging operation on the first wheel, the dragging operation on the second wheel, and the releasing operation on the directional skill control are a whole continuous operation. For example, the first user needs to continuously complete the above operations in a first time period without interruption. Exemplarily, the first user continuously completes the triggering operation on the directional skill control, the dragging operation on the first wheel, the dragging operation on the second wheel, and the releasing operation on the directional skill control through the right hand on the game interface.

[0111] In summary, the method provided by the embodiment of the present application provides a method for releasing the directional skills of a virtual character in a virtual environment, by responding to a trigger operation on the directional skill control, displaying the directional skill control as a first wheel for adjusting the viewing direction of the virtual character, and switching the first wheel for adjusting the viewing direction of the virtual character to a second wheel for adjusting the release direction of the directional skill of the virtual character when the drag operation on the first wheel is not completed and the wheel switching condition is met; the user can release the directional skill in the virtual environment by completing a coherent operation on the directional skill control. The user does not need to adjust the viewing direction of the virtual character and the release direction of the directional skill of the virtual character separately, which is beneficial to improving the user's operating experience to a certain extent.

[0112] Display elements for the virtual character's viewing direction toward the enemy:

[0113] In some embodiments, satisfying the roulette switching condition includes the virtual character's viewing direction being toward the enemy display element. Fig. 9 As shown, the above step 240 can be replaced by the following sub-steps:

[0115] In some embodiments, the enemy refers to virtual characters controlled by other users in the virtual environment except the virtual character 1 controlled by the first user, such as the virtual character 2 controlled by the second user. The enemy display element refers to a display element used to represent the enemy, such as a sound element.

[0116] For example, Fig.10 As shown, the enemy voiceprint 16 is displayed on the game interface 10. When the drag operation is not completed and the viewing direction of the virtual character 11 is toward the enemy voiceprint 16, the first wheel is switched to the second wheel.

[0117] In some embodiments, in response to the dragging operation on the first wheel, the viewing direction of the virtual character is adjusted to be toward the direction of the enemy display element.

[0118] In some embodiments, when the drag operation is not completed and the viewing direction is toward the enemy display element, the first wheel is switched to the second wheel, including: when the drag operation is not completed and the viewing direction is toward the enemy display element, the first wheel is canceled from being displayed, and the second wheel is displayed in the display area of ​​the first wheel.

[0119] In some embodiments, when the drag operation is not ended and the viewing direction is toward the enemy display element, switching the first wheel to display the second wheel includes: when the drag operation is not ended and the viewing direction is toward the enemy display element, retaining the display of the first wheel, and displaying the second wheel in the display area of ​​the first wheel.

For example, Fig.18 As shown, an aiming tool 18 is displayed above the virtual character 11 .

[0161] In some embodiments, the display position of the aiming tool is fixed. In some embodiments, the display position of the aiming tool is adjusted based on the moving position of the virtual character.

[0162] It is worth noting that the above steps 220 and 420 are performed simultaneously. For example, in response to a trigger operation on a directional skill control, the directional skill control is displayed as a first wheel and an aiming tool is displayed.

[0163] In summary, the method provided in the embodiment of the present application, by displaying aiming props, can help the user to achieve more accurate aiming when adjusting the viewing direction of the virtual character and / or adjusting the direction of the directional skill release of the virtual character.

[0165] Step 520: Display a cancel release control;

[0166] In some embodiments, before releasing the directional skill of the virtual character in the target direction, a cancel release control is displayed on the game interface. In some embodiments, after releasing the directional skill of the virtual character in the target direction, a cancel release control is displayed on the game interface. That is, step 520 may be before step 260 or after step 260.

[0167] In some embodiments, the cancel release control is used to trigger the cancellation of releasing the virtual character's directional skill in the target direction.

[0168] In some embodiments, the cancel release control is displayed in any area on the game interface that does not affect the game display elements. The game display elements include at least one of virtual characters, virtual props, and virtual controls. For example, the cancel release control is displayed in a blank area on the game interface, or in an area on the game interface that does not affect the response of other controls.

[0169] In some embodiments, the cancel release control is displayed in a fixed area on the game interface. For example, the cancel release control is in a fixed area corresponding to the directional skill control. The fixed area refers to an area of ​​fixed shape and fixed size. For example, Fig. 20 As shown, the directional skill control 12 is displayed on the right side of the game interface 10, and the cancel release control 19 is displayed on the left side of the game interface 10 at a position corresponding to the directional skill control 12.

[0170] In some embodiments, the display position of the cancel release control is fixed. In some embodiments, the display position of the cancel release control is randomly adjusted.

[0171] Step 540: In response to the trigger operation for canceling the release control, cancel the release of the directional skill of the virtual character in the target direction.

[0172] In some embodiments, the trigger operation for canceling the release of the control includes at least one of single click, double click, left and right slide, up and down slide, long press, hover, face recognition, and voice recognition. It is worth noting that the trigger operation for canceling the release of the control includes but is not limited to the above mentioned ones.
