[0026] Example implementations will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example implementations may, however, be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the implementations set forth herein; rather, these implementations are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of example implementations to those skilled in the art.

The term "includes" and "including" means inclusive of, and that there are additional items or elements that are not listed. The term "first", "second" and the like, define only order, and do not necessarily limit the number or order of the elements.

[0028] Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are merely schematic and are not intended to be to scale. Identical reference signs denote the same or similar parts throughout the attached drawings and their description. Some of the blocks in the drawings are functional entities that do not necessarily have to be physically or logically independent entities. These functional entities can be implemented in software, in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different network and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0029] In a related technology, automatic battles of a game are implemented by a plug-in, such as a clicker implemented by a client alone. The clicker determines which devices can be clicked and the frequency of clicking, and automatically clicks a fire button. Since the clicker is implemented by the client alone, it is difficult to check on the server side, which not only affects the fairness of the game, but also easily increases the pressure on the game server.

[0030] In another related technology, an automatic battle mode is purely on the server side. That is, a player only configures a game camp on a client side. After the configuration is completed, the server automatically calculates a result by calculating good time, characteristics of troops, equipment, and number of people, and pushes the result to the two parties in combat after waiting for a period of time, so that the two parties know the result of the combat. In this way, the player cannot observe the real-time automatic game battle picture and can only select troops well in advance and then send them out to fight and wait for the result. The player cannot modify the related configuration during the automatic game battle process and cannot participate in the automatic game battle in a timely manner. At the same time, all processes are on the server side, which increases the pressure on the server.

[0031] To solve the above problems, the present disclosure provides a game control method. An exemplary Figure 1 A flowchart of a game control method in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The method can be applied to a game client. Referring to Figure 1 The method can include:

[0032] In step S110, in a case where a game account in a game client performs an automatic game battle, a virtual operation object in the game client performs a first game operation in the game client according to a first game operation instruction received from a game server;

[0033] Step S120, displaying, in the game client, a game picture corresponding to the automatic game battle generated based on the first game operation.

[0034] The first game operation instruction is determined by the game server according to game logic calculation of automatic game battle based on automatic battle configuration information of the game account.

[0035] In Figure 1 In the technical solution provided in the embodiments, in the case that the game account in the game client performs automatic game battle, the virtual operation object in the game client performs first game operation in the game client according to the received first game operation instruction sent by the game server, and the game picture corresponding to the automatic game battle generated based on the first game operation is displayed in the game client. Compared with the related art, on the one hand, the virtual operation object in the game client can simulate the actual game operation process of the game player, so that the real picture in the automatic game battle process is displayed in the game client in real time, and the player can observe at any time how the camp configured by the player is fighting, thereby improving the automatic game battle experience of the player; on the other hand, since the whole automatic battle process is simulated to be presented to the game player in real time, the game data is calculated and presented to the player in real time, the player can cut in the game at any time during the automatic game battle process, so as to change the strategy of the automatic game battle, and the configuration of the automatic game battle can be adjusted at any time, thereby improving the controllability of the automatic game battle.

[0036] Next, the specific implementation of "in the case that the game account in the game client performs automatic game battle, the virtual operation object in the game client performs first game operation in the game client according to the received first game operation instruction sent by the game server" will be described in detail.

[0037] In an exemplary embodiment, the first game operation instruction is determined by the game server according to game logic calculation of automatic game battle based on automatic battle configuration information of the game account.

[0038] For example, the automatic battle configuration information is generated according to the automatic battle parameters input in the automatic battle configuration interface of the game client.

[0039] In an exemplary embodiment, only the game account with automatic game battle permission can perform automatic game battle. Whether the game account is a game account with automatic game battle permission can be determined according to the account level of the game account, whether there is a preset game prop in the game prop library of the game account, and the like.

[0040] For example, the game server can check whether the game account has the automatic game battle permission, and the game account can start the automatic game battle after the check is passed. Taking the game account with the game prop A as an example, the game client has a first control of the automatic battle configuration information configuration interface in the page, and when the game player in the game client triggers the first control, the game server obtains the account information of the game account currently logged in the game client, and then checks whether the game prop A exists in the game prop library of the game account in the database. If yes, the automatic battle configuration information configuration interface is jumped to, and if not, the game client is sent a prompt information to prompt the game player in the game client that the game account currently does not have the automatic game battle permission and the permission mode of starting the automatic game battle. The permission mode of starting the automatic game battle can be determined according to the requirement, for example, the game player can obtain the automatic game battle permission by obtaining a preset game prop, so that the game player can obtain the automatic game battle permission if the game player draws the preset game prop in the game process. The present exemplary embodiment does not make special limitation to this.

[0041] In the case that the game player has the automatic game battle permission, the game player can jump to the automatic battle configuration interface by clicking the first control in the game client. The game player can input the automatic battle parameter configuration information in the automatic battle configuration interface. The battle parameter that can be configured by the player can be determined according to the requirement, and the present exemplary embodiment does not make special limitation to this. For example, the player is allowed to configure the specific battle mode, such as whether to surround the enemy, how far to surround the enemy, and which type of enemy to prefer to fight (such as the enemy with low blood volume, the enemy with high blood volume, the enemy with large tonnage, the enemy with small tonnage, etc.). The game client can generate the automatic battle configuration information according to the automatic battle parameter configuration information input by the game player in the automatic battle configuration interface.

[0042] In an exemplary embodiment, after the configuration is completed, the user can enter the automatic game battle by clicking the second control, such as the confirmation control, in the automatic battle configuration interface.

[0043] In an exemplary embodiment, the game client is configured with a virtual operation object, which is used to simulate the game operation of the user. The virtual operation object can include a virtual operation AI (Artificial Intelligence).

[0044] For example, the game logic of the automatic game battle and the game logic when the user performs the operation are completely the same, for example, in a non-automatic battle scene, that is, a scene in which the user performs the game operation, the user needs to click a control 1 in a game interface, jump to an A page, click a control 2 in the A page to jump to a B page, and click a control 3 in the B page to obtain a game prop 22. In the automatic game battle scene in the present disclosure, the virtual operation object also needs to click the control 1 in the game interface first, jump to the A page, click the control 2 in the A page to jump to the B page, and click the control 3 in the B page to obtain the game prop 22.

[0045] In an exemplary embodiment, the game server can perform calculation of the game logic according to the automatic battle configuration information, and generate the first operation instruction according to the calculation result of each game logic. For example, in the game logic calculation of a certain step, the game prop 22 needs to be obtained, according to the game logic, the game server needs to receive the instruction of clicking the control 1 first, then receive the instruction of clicking the control 2, and then receive the instruction of clicking the control 3, to issue the game prop 22. Then the game server generates the operation instruction of clicking the control 1 according to the game logic, and sends it to the virtual operation object in the game client. The virtual operation object in the game client clicks the control 1 in the game client according to the received instruction. After the game server detects that the control 1 is clicked, it continues to send the instruction of clicking the control 2 to the virtual operation object. The virtual operation object performs the operation of clicking the control 2 in the game client according to the received instruction of clicking the control 2. After the game server detects that the control 2 is clicked, it continues to send the instruction of clicking the control 3 to the virtual operation object in the game client. The virtual operation object clicks the control 3 in the page of the game client after receiving the operation instruction of clicking the control 3. After the game server detects that the control 3 is clicked, it issues the game prop 22 to the game account.

[0046] In an example embodiment, the first game operation performed by the virtual operation object can be displayed in real time while the game screen of the automatic game battle generated based on the first game operation is displayed in real time in the graphical user interface of the game client. For example, a virtual finger can be displayed in the graphical user interface of the game client according to the first game operation performed by the virtual operation object, i.e., the virtual operation object is displayed in the form of a virtual finger, so that the player can observe the operation process of the automatic battle. For example, if the first game operation is clicking a control 1 in the game client, a virtual finger is displayed at the position of the control 1 to click the control 1. Alternatively, the virtual finger can not be displayed, and the virtual operation object can be displayed in a special manner, so that the player can also observe the operation process of the automatic battle, so that the player can intervene in the automatic battle at any time. For example, if the first operation is clicking a control 2 in the game client, the control 2 can be highlighted while the instruction of clicking the control 2 is sent. Of course, the first game operation performed by the virtual operation object can not be displayed, and the example embodiment does not limit the first game operation.

[0047] The specific embodiment of the step S120 of displaying the game screen corresponding to the automatic game battle generated based on the first game operation in the game client is described in detail as follows.

[0048] For example, when the virtual operation object performs the first game operation, it is equivalent to simulating that the user performs the first game operation. The first game operation can change the game screen in real time, and the actual game screen of the automatic game battle generated based on the first game operation can be displayed in real time in the graphical user interface of the game client.

[0049] In an example embodiment, the game control method in the disclosure further includes: the game client sends a second game operation instruction corresponding to a second game operation of the player to the game server in response to detecting the second game operation of the player in the game client, so that the game server performs game logic calculation according to the second game operation instruction.

[0050] For example, in the present disclosure, the actual game picture of the automatic game battle process is displayed in real time in the graphical user interface of the game client, so that the player can see the actual process of the automatic game battle at any time, and when the player wants to cut in at a certain moment for player operation, the player can cut in the game according to the needs at any time to perform player operation. For example, the current game client selects game prop C when performing automatic battle, and the player wants to use game prop B to fight, so the player can cut in the automatic battle at this time, modify the game prop of the virtual character controlled by the player from game prop C to game prop B, so that the virtual character uses game prop B to fight. When the second game operation of the player in the game client is detected, the second game operation instruction can be generated according to the second game operation, and the second game operation instruction is sent to the game server, so that the game server drives and calculates the game logic according to the second game operation instruction, thereby performing the game.

[0051] In the present example embodiment, the second game operation can be a contact type second game operation performed by the player through an external input medium such as a hand, a stylus, or a mouse, or a non-contact type second game operation performed by the player through a gesture action, eye movement, or voice instruction. The present example embodiment does not make special limitations on this.

[0052] As described above, the player can cut in the automatic battle at any time to adjust the strategy of the automatic battle, such as replacing the battle prop from game prop C to game prop B. Based on this, the adjustment operation of the player can be statistically analyzed to obtain the operation preference of the player, and the automatic battle configuration information is determined according to the operation preference of the player to improve the accuracy of the automatic battle.

[0053] For example, Figure 2 A flowchart of a method for determining automatic battle configuration information in an example embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Referring to Figure 2 The method can include steps S210 to S250, wherein:

[0054] In step S210, the game event of the second game operation instruction corresponding to the game account in the game client is recorded.

[0055] For example, the second game operation performed by each game player when cutting in the automatic battle during the process of starting the automatic battle can be recorded. For example, in the automatic game battle, the player automatically receives task A, but the player sees it and modifies the received task A to task B through the second game operation, so that the game event "modifying the automatically received task A to task B" can be recorded.

[0056] In step S220, in a case where the first preset condition is met, the recorded game events are statistically analyzed, and the game preference of the game account is determined according to the statistical analysis result.

[0057] In an exemplary embodiment, the first preset condition can include that the recording duration reaches a preset duration, or the number of recorded game events reaches a preset number, and then the recorded game events can be statistically analyzed. For example, the number of same game events is counted. For example, the player modifies the first type of task A accepted automatically to the second type of task in multiple automatic battles, which indicates that the player prefers to accept the second type of task.

[0058] In step S230, the adjustment prompt information of the preset automatic battle configuration information of the game account is generated according to the game preference.

[0059] In an exemplary embodiment, the preset automatic battle configuration information can be understood as the automatic battle configuration information configured by the player in the last automatic battle, or can be understood as the default automatic battle configuration information configured by the player, etc. For example, the task acceptance preference parameter in the preset automatic battle configuration information of the game account of the player is the first type of task, and the adjustment prompt information “Do you need to modify the type of task accepted by the automatic battle from the first type to the second type?” can be generated.

[0060] In step S240, in response to the game account starting the automatic game battle, the adjustment prompt information is displayed in the game client where the game account is located.

[0061] For example, when the player starts the automatic battle, if it is detected that the type parameter of the task accepted in the automatic battle configuration information of the player is still the first type, the above adjustment prompt information can be displayed in the game client where the game account of the player is logged in, to prompt the player whether the automatic adjustment of the automatic battle configuration parameter is needed. If it is detected that the type parameter of the task accepted is modified to the second type, the adjustment prompt information can not be sent.

[0062] In step S250, in response to the triggering operation of the adjustment prompt information, the automatic battle configuration information of the automatic game battle currently started by the game account is determined.

[0063] For example, when the player confirms the adjustment information, it is considered that the player agrees to modify the automatic battle configuration information according to the statistical game preference of the player, and the related parameters in the automatic battle configuration information can be modified according to the adjustment information, and the automatic battle configuration information of the current opened automatic game battle is obtained according to the adjusted automatic battle configuration information. If the player cancels the adjustment information, the automatic battle configuration information is not modified.

[0064] In an exemplary embodiment, the game control method in the present disclosure can further include: in response to an adjustment operation on the automatic battle configuration information in the game client, sending the game account and the adjusted automatic battle configuration information to the game server, so that the game server performs game logic calculation of automatic game battle according to the adjusted automatic battle configuration information.

[0065] For example, the target control can be configured in the graphical user interface of the game terminal, and the target control can be displayed in the graphical user interface of the game client all the time after the automatic game battle is opened. The player can trigger the target control at any time to enter the automatic battle configuration interface, so as to modify the automatic battle configuration information at any time. For example, the player sets to prefer to attack far enemies at the beginning, and wants to modify to prefer to attack near enemies in the middle of the way. The player can enter the automatic battle configuration interface at any time to modify the parameter value of the parameter, and after the modification is completed, the battle strategy in the subsequent automatic battle process will become to prefer to attack near enemies.

[0066] In an exemplary embodiment, the game control method in the present disclosure can further include: in the case that the automatic game battle instructs the virtual character to reach a specified task location, the game client executes task location navigation logic to navigate the virtual character to the specified task location; and / or in the case that the automatic game battle instructs the virtual character to accept a task, the game client executes task selection logic to accept the task for the virtual character.

[0067] For example, the game in the present disclosure can include task receiving requirement and path finding requirement. Task receiving refers to accepting tasks in the game, and corresponding game rewards can be obtained after completing the tasks. Path finding refers to the need for the virtual character to reach a task location to perform the character when completing the game task. In the automatic battle process, the virtual character needs to automatically reach the task location through the path finding logic, which is similar to driving the virtual character controlled by the player to reach the task location according to the navigation path through automatic navigation.

[0068] In the present disclosure, the task receiving logic and the path finding logic can be configured on the game client, and the non-core game logic can be completed on the game server side through the game client, such as the task receiving logic, the path finding logic, the logic of judging whether the blood volume continues to start the automatic battle, the logic of being ready to evacuate the battlefield at any time, and the like are executed on the game client, and the core game battle logic and some verification logic and the like are executed on the server. In this way, the safety and fairness of the game can be ensured, the computing pressure of the game server can be reduced, and the computing capacity of the server can be improved.

[0069] Exemplarily, Figure 3 A flowchart of another game control method in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown, which can be applied to the game server, that is, the method can be executed by the game server. Referring to Figure 3 The method can include steps S310 to S320, wherein:

[0070] In step S310, in response to an automatic game battle starting request of a game client, a game account of the game client and automatic battle configuration information corresponding to the game account are obtained.

[0071] For example, an automatic battle manager can be deployed in the game server, and when the game server detects that the game client starts the automatic battle, the game account logged in the game client and the automatic battle configuration information corresponding to the game account can be obtained. After the game account and the automatic battle configuration information of the game account are associated, they are cached in the automatic battle manager, and the automatic battle manager manages all game accounts that start the automatic battle.

[0072] In an exemplary embodiment, the game in the present disclosure includes a plurality of game scene spaces, each game scene space corresponds to a game map, different game scene spaces correspond to different game processes, each game scene space corresponds to a game process, each game process corresponds to a game process identifier, each game scene space corresponds to a game scene space identifier, and the game scene space identifier and the game process identifier have a one-to-one mapping relationship, that is, one game scene space identifier corresponds to one game process identifier, such as the mapping relationship between the game scene space identifier A and the game process identifier A1, which means that the game process identifier A1 is used to process the game battle logic of the game scene space identifier A. One game account can play in different game scene spaces.

[0073] Based on this, before the automatic game battle driver is bound to the game account that starts the automatic battle, the game account needs to be associated with the game scene space in which it is currently located, so as to determine which game process is currently used to process the automatic game battle of the game account.

[0074] Exemplary, Figure 4 A flowchart illustrating a method of managing a game account for automatic game battle in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Referring to Figure 4 The method can include steps S410 to S420.

[0075] In step S410, a target game scene space to which the game account belongs is determined according to a game scene position in which a virtual character controlled by the game account is located when the game account requests to start automatic game battle.

[0076] For example, the game server can determine the target game scene space in which the game account is currently located according to the game scene position in which the virtual character controlled by the game account is currently located.

[0077] In step S420, the game account is associated with a game progress identifier corresponding to the target game scene space to which the game account belongs.

[0078] For example, in the automatic battle manager, the game accounts that start automatic game battle in different game scene spaces can be stored and managed separately. For example, the game accounts that start automatic game battle in different game scene spaces can be associated with game progress identifiers corresponding to game scene space identifiers of the game scene spaces, and then stored in the automatic battle manager. That is, in the automatic battle manager, there are game accounts that start automatic game battle and automatic battle configuration information of the automatic game account under each game progress identifier.

[0079] In step S320, an automatic game battle driver is bound to the game account, and the automatic game battle driver is controlled to drive the game server to execute automatic game battle logic according to the automatic battle configuration information of the game account.

[0080] For example, an automatic battle driver can be bound to each game account under each game progress identifier in the automatic battle manager. Thus, the automatic battle driver is controlled to drive the game server to execute automatic game battle logic of the game account according to the automatic battle configuration information of the game account.

[0081] In an exemplary embodiment, the automatic battle driver can be understood as a software program that can instruct the game server to execute game logic according to the automatic battle configuration information, thereby realizing automatic game battle.

[0082] Exemplary, Figure 5 A flowchart illustrating a method of driving automatic game battle logic in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Referring to Figure 5The method can include steps S510-S530. In step S510, the game process identifiers corresponding to different game scene spaces are looped through. In step S520, for a target game process identifier currently looped through, a target game account associated with the target game process identifier is looped through. In step S530, the automatic game battle driver of the target game account is controlled to drive a target game process indicated by the target game process identifier associated with the target game account according to automatic battle configuration information of the target game account to execute automatic game battle logic.

[0083] For example, each game process identifier in the automatic battle manager described above can be looped through. For a game process identifier currently looped through, a game account associated with the game process identifier can be looped through. Then, for the looped-through game account, an automatic game battle driver bound to the game account can be controlled to drive a game process indicated by the game process identifier according to automatic battle configuration information of the game account to execute automatic game battle logic. According to a calculation result of the automatic game battle logic, the first game operation instruction is updated, and the updated first game operation instruction is sent to the game client.

[0084] For example, the automatic game battle logic in the present disclosure can include the following processes: driving the automatic game battle logic, updating the first game operation instruction, performing conditional checking based on the updated first game operation instruction, such as checking whether a firing target exists, if the firing target exists, checking whether the firing target is a valid target, if yes, locking the target, then activating weapon logic and reading an algorithm or configuration to fire, if the firing target is not a valid target, turning off the activated weapon, unlocking the target, and releasing the firing target. If the firing target does not exist or has died, a new firing target is found.

[0085] In an example embodiment, each game account corresponds to an automatic game battle permission duration. The initial automatic game battle permission duration of each game account can be the same or different, and the present example embodiment does not make special limitations thereon. For example, each game account initially has an automatic battle permission duration of 2 hours. If the automatic battle permission duration of a game account is used up, the game account cannot perform automatic game battle even if it has automatic battle permission.

[0086] Based on this, the game control method in the disclosure can further include: in response to an automatic game battle start request of a game client, associating a game account in the game client with a time manager in the game server; according to a preset time interval, deducting the automatic game battle permission time length of each game account associated with the time manager to obtain the remaining automatic game battle permission time length of each game account; determining a first game account whose remaining automatic game battle permission time length is less than or equal to 0, and sending first indication information to a first game client where the first game account is located, so that the first game client stops the automatic game battle of the first game account in the first game client according to the first indication information; determining a second game account whose remaining automatic game battle permission time length is less than or equal to a preset value and greater than 0, and sending second prompt information to a second game client where the second game account is located, the second prompt information being used to prompt the remaining automatic game battle permission time length of the second game account in the second game client.

[0087] For example, the time manager can be used to manage the automatic game battle permission time length of each game account. For example, it can batch deduct the time of the game account it manages every fixed time to obtain the remaining automatic game battle permission time length of each game account. If the remaining automatic game battle permission time length is less than or equal to 0, the game client is notified to forcibly close the automatic game battle. If the remaining automatic game battle permission is greater than 0 but less than or equal to a smaller preset value, the preset value can be the time interval mentioned above, it means that the remaining automatic game battle permission time length of the game account is less, reminding the player that the remaining automatic battle time length is not much.

[0088] In an exemplary embodiment, the game control method in the disclosure can further include: in response to satisfying a second preset condition, determining the closing time of the automatic game battle of the game account according to the current time; determining the automatic game battle permission use time length of the game account according to the start time and the closing time of the automatic game battle of the game account; based on the automatic game battle permission use time length of the game account, updating the automatic game battle permission time length of the game account stored in the database of the game server; wherein the second preset condition includes any one of receiving an automatic game battle closing request sent by the game client and listening to the change of the connection state of the player of the game account.

[0089] For example, the time manager also records the time when each game account starts the automatic game battle, and then stops the automatic game battle when the game account exits the automatic battle or the player closes the automatic battle on the client, updates the automatic battle authority time length of the player, or the player enters a non-battle scene, and forcibly closes the automatic game battle of the player to avoid unnecessary loss of automatic battle authority time length of the player.

[0090] When it is determined that the second preset condition is met, the game account can be removed from the time manager and the automatic battle manager described above. For example, the weapons and equipment in the automatic battle driver of the game account are closed first, and then the game account and its automatic battle configuration information are removed from the automatic battle manager, so that the automatic battle driver of the game account will no longer drive the related logic of the automatic battle.

[0091] In an exemplary embodiment, the game control method in the present disclosure can further include: in response to the game account using a preset game prop in the automatic game battle, obtaining an automatic game battle authority time length increment corresponding to the preset game prop; and updating the automatic game battle authority time length corresponding to the game account according to the automatic game battle authority time length increment.

[0092] For example, a game player can increase his own automatic game battle authority time length by using a preset game prop in the automatic game battle. A player with automatic game battle authority can also increase his own automatic game battle authority time length by using a preset game prop in a non-automatic battle.

[0093] For example, in the present disclosure, the specific battle logic related content of the automatic battle can be deployed in the server, such as which weapon to use, when to fire, target enemy sorting, fire cycle number, reading automatic battle configuration information transmitted by the client, driving fire, driving stop fire, checking automatic battle start state, checking the remaining time length of the automatic battle authority time length, driving the player to realize the surrounding target, locking the enemy, resetting the state, canceling the fire, opening the defense equipment, etc. The non-battle core logic such as pathfinding, task receiving, and automatic battle configuration is deployed in the client, which reduces the pressure on the server. At the same time, through the interaction between the server and the client, the actual automatic battle picture can be displayed in real time in the client, the player can cut into the automatic battle at any time, adjust the configuration information of the automatic battle at any time, and improve the automatic battle experience of the player.
