[0024] In a possible implementation, with respect to the game interaction methods commonly used in the context of the gaming field, the inventors, after practice and careful research, still found a technical problem of low user gaming experience. Based on this, the game scenario applied to the embodiments of the present disclosure may be a confrontational game scenario, and the targeted game type is generally a confrontational game. A method for controlling a virtual character is proposed, and the adopted technical concept can control the target virtual character to move in the virtual scenario so that the target virtual character collides with other virtual characters, thereby adding a debuff effect to the target virtual character and / or other virtual characters, providing users with a richer and more interesting game operation method to attack virtual characters, enhancing the user's gaming experience, and thereby solving the technical problem of low user gaming experience in the related art.

[0025] The above method embodiments involved in the present disclosure can be executed in a mobile terminal, a computer terminal or a similar computing device. Taking running on a mobile terminal as an example, the mobile terminal can be a smart phone, a tablet computer, a handheld computer, a mobile Internet device, a PAD, a game console and other terminal devices. Figure 1 1 is a hardware structure block diagram of a mobile terminal of a virtual character control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, the mobile terminal may include one or more ( Figure 1 The processor 102 (only one is shown) may include, but is not limited to, a central processing unit (CPU), a graphics processing unit (GPU), a digital signal processing (DSP) chip, a microprocessor (MCU), a field-programmable logic device (FPGA), a neural network processor (NPU), a tensor processing unit (TPU), an artificial intelligence (AI) type processor, etc.) and a memory 104 for storing data.

[0026] In some optional embodiments mainly based on game scenarios, the above-mentioned device can also provide a human-computer interaction interface with a touch-sensitive surface, which can sense finger contact and / or gestures to perform human-computer interaction with a graphical user interface (GUI). The human-computer interaction function may include the following interactions: creating web pages, drawing, word processing, making electronic documents, games, video conferencing, instant messaging, sending and receiving emails, call interface, playing digital videos, playing digital music and / or web browsing, etc. The executable instructions for executing the above-mentioned human-computer interaction functions are configured / stored in a computer program product or readable storage medium executable by one or more processors.

[0027] Those skilled in the art will understand that Figure 1 The structure shown is only for illustration and does not limit the structure of the mobile terminal. Figure 1 More or fewer components as shown, or with Figure 1 Different configurations are shown.

[0028] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, an embodiment of a method for controlling a virtual character is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0029] In a possible implementation, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling a virtual character, providing a graphical user interface through a terminal device, wherein the terminal device may be the local terminal device mentioned above, or may be a client device in the cloud interaction system mentioned above. Figure 2 is a flow chart of a method for controlling a virtual character according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein a graphical user interface is provided by a terminal device, and the content displayed by the graphical user interface includes at least part of a virtual scene, a first virtual character, a plurality of second virtual characters, and a plurality of operation controls, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0030] Step S202, in response to a first touch operation on a first operation control among the plurality of operation controls, determining a target virtual character among the plurality of second virtual characters based on the character information of the first virtual character;

[0031] The first operation control may be a control for releasing active skills. The number of first operation controls may be one or more. In the case of more than one first operation control, different first operation controls are used to release different active skills. The active skills that can be released by the first operation control are set according to actual conditions. For example, the active skill may be to bring the target virtual character closer to cause a collision with other virtual characters, or the active skill may be to push the target virtual character away to cause a collision with other virtual characters.

[0032] At least part of the virtual scene mentioned above may be a game scene.

[0033] The above-mentioned first virtual character can be a character controlled by the user, and the character information of the above-mentioned first virtual character can be information used to determine the target virtual character, wherein the character information includes but is not limited to the name, camp information, current position, current direction, etc. of the first virtual character.

[0034] The first touch operation mentioned above may be an operation performed by the user on the first operation control, indicating that the user wishes to release an active skill. Optionally, the first touch operation includes but is not limited to a click operation, a slide operation, a drag operation, and a long press operation on the first operation control, and no limitation is made to the first touch operation herein.

[0035] The above-mentioned multiple second virtual characters can be virtual characters other than the first virtual character in the game scene. Since the skill release range of active skills is usually limited, the multiple second virtual characters can be characters in the game scene that are within the skill release range.

[0036] The target virtual character mentioned above may be a virtual character that the user wishes to attack in the game scene, or may be a pre-set NPC (Non-Player Character) in the game scene.

[0037] In an optional embodiment, the user can operate the first operation control to release the active skill while controlling the first virtual character to run or move; the user can also operate the first operation control to release the active skill when the first virtual character is in a stopped motion state. When the first touch operation performed by the user on the first operation control is detected, it can be determined that the user wants to release the active skill corresponding to the first operation control. Therefore, based on the character information of the first virtual character controlled by the user, the virtual character that meets the active skill conditions can be determined to obtain the target virtual character. For example, if the active skill is to bring the target virtual character closer to collide with other virtual characters, the virtual character located in the fan-shaped range in front of the first virtual character can be determined as the target virtual character; if the active skill is to push the target virtual character away to collide with other virtual characters, the virtual character hit by the active skill can be determined as the target virtual character.

[0038] Step S204, controlling the target virtual character to move in the virtual scene so that the target virtual character collides with other virtual characters among the plurality of second virtual characters except the target virtual character;

[0039] Among them, the other virtual characters belong to the hostile camp or neutral camp of the first virtual character.

[0040] The above-mentioned hostile camp is used to indicate the camp to which the virtual character to be attacked by the first virtual character belongs, and the first virtual character wins the game by defeating the virtual character of the hostile camp. The above-mentioned neutral camp is used to indicate the camp to which the non-player characters in the game scene belong.

[0041] The above-mentioned movement may refer to controlling the target virtual character to approach the first virtual character in the virtual scene, or may refer to controlling the target virtual character to move away from the first virtual character in the virtual scene, or may refer to controlling the target virtual character to move in a specific direction in the virtual scene. The specific movement method is not limited here and can be set according to the active skill released by the first operation control.

[0042] In an optional embodiment, after the user operates the first operation control, the target virtual character can be directly controlled to move according to the active skill released by the first operation control. Since there are other virtual characters around the target virtual character at this time, the target virtual character will collide with other virtual characters during the movement, thereby achieving the purpose of attacking the virtual characters of the hostile camp.

[0043] In another optional embodiment, when the target virtual character is the virtual character to be attacked by the first virtual character, the target virtual character can be controlled to move and collide with the non-player character. At this time, the other virtual characters are non-player characters, thereby achieving the purpose of attacking the target virtual character; when the target virtual character is the virtual character to be attacked by the first virtual character, the target virtual character can be controlled to move and collide with the other virtual characters to be attacked, thereby achieving the purpose of attacking the target virtual character and the other virtual characters at the same time; when the target virtual character is a non-player character, the target virtual character can be controlled to move and collide with the other virtual characters to be attacked by the first virtual character, thereby achieving the purpose of attacking the other virtual characters.

[0044] Step S206, controlling the target virtual character that collided and / or other virtual characters that collided to add a detrimental effect.

[0045] The above-mentioned debuff effect refers to an effect that has a negative impact on the player or character, wherein the debuff effect can reduce the character's attributes, abilities or status, making the character more vulnerable in the game and difficult to deal with enemies or other challenges. Among them, the debuff effect may include but is not limited to reducing attributes, status effects, time limits, enemy enhancements, etc. Different debuff effects can be added according to the different camps to which the virtual character belongs. For example, for the virtual character of the hostile camp, all debuff effects can be added, while for the virtual character of the neutral camp, since it does not affect the game itself, and even the virtual character of the neutral camp will not attack the virtual characters of other camps, it can be considered to add only some debuff effects, for example, only adding status effects, only adding time limits, etc.

[0046] Among them, attribute-reducing debuffs can reduce a character's attack power, defense, health, or other attributes, making them more vulnerable to damage in combat or unable to effectively inflict damage on the enemy. Status-effect debuffs can put a character into specific states, such as poisoning, weakness, entanglement, etc., which can negatively affect the character's abilities, such as reducing movement speed, reducing attack power, or restricting the use of specific skills. Time-limited debuffs can negatively affect a character for a certain period of time, for example, a character may be silenced for a period of time, unable to use skills, or take continuous damage until the effect wears off or is removed. Enemy-enhanced debuffs can also negatively affect a character by enhancing the enemy's abilities.

[0047] In an optional embodiment, debuff effects can be added to the target virtual character and other virtual characters according to the setting of the active skill. For example, if the active skill is to bring the target virtual character closer to cause a collision with other virtual characters, debuff effects can be added to other virtual characters; if the active skill is to push the target virtual character away to cause a collision with other virtual characters, debuff effects can be added to the target virtual character first, and after the target virtual character collides with other virtual characters, debuff effects can be added to other virtual characters.

[0048] In another optional embodiment, the target virtual character can be controlled to move in the virtual scene to collide with the target virtual character and / or other virtual characters to cause damage to the target virtual character and / or other virtual characters, thereby achieving the purpose of attacking the target virtual character and / or other virtual characters. The characters can be pulled to cause a collision between the characters, thereby killing the hostile character, thereby improving the user experience.

[0049] The first virtual character may be a long-range attacking Mobius. When the active skill released by the first operation control is to push away the target virtual character and cause it to collide with other virtual characters, the target virtual character may be Sirius or an NPC in the game scene.

[0050] In an optional embodiment, Mobius can use the NPC in the game scene as a resource or medium for attacking from a distance during the pursuit process. Sirius can be a hostile character of Mobius. The user can push Sirius away in the virtual scene from the perspective of Mobius to collide with the NPC, thereby causing damage, deceleration, dizziness, etc. to Sirius. The user can also push the NPC away in the virtual scene from the perspective of Mobius to collide with Sirius, which can add a dizzy debuff effect to the NPC, and add damage, deceleration, dizziness, etc. to Sirius after the collision.

[0051] In another optional embodiment, when other Mobius members, that is, teammates of the Puppet Princess, repel the enemy, no collision can occur; optionally, if other Mobius members collide, no debuff effect will occur.

[0052] When the active skill released by the first operation control is to bring the target virtual character closer to cause a collision with other virtual characters, the target virtual character may be an NPC.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, during the pursuit, Mobius can pull the NPC in the game scene closer to Sirius to facilitate a collision, and can add damage, deceleration, stun and other effects to Sirius after the collision.

[0054] Through the above steps, first respond to the first touch operation of the first operation control in the multiple operation controls, determine the target virtual character among the multiple second virtual characters based on the character information of the first virtual character; control the target virtual character to move in the virtual scene so that the target virtual character collides with other virtual characters in the multiple second virtual characters except the target virtual character, wherein the other virtual characters belong to the hostile camp or the neutral camp of the first virtual character; control the target virtual character that collides and / or other virtual characters that collide to add a debuff effect, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the user's gaming experience. It is easy to notice that the user can control the target virtual character to move in the virtual scene so that the target virtual character collides with other virtual characters, thereby adding a debuff effect to the target virtual character and / or other virtual characters, increasing the attack distance, providing users with a richer and more interesting game operation method to attack virtual characters, enhancing the user's gaming experience, and thus solving the technical problem of low gaming experience of users in the related technology.

[0055] Optionally, the first operation control includes a first sub-operation control; based on the character information of the first virtual character, determining the target virtual character among multiple second virtual characters, including: obtaining a first control parameter corresponding to the first sub-operation control, and orientation information contained in the character information of the first virtual character; based on the orientation information and the first control parameter, determining a first operation range corresponding to the first sub-operation control; and selecting a target virtual character within the first operation range from the multiple second virtual characters.

[0056] The first sub-operation control may be a control for releasing an active skill for pulling the target virtual character closer.

[0057] The above-mentioned first control parameter may be a control parameter for determining the first operating range. For example, when the first operating range is fan-shaped, the first control parameter may be the angle of the fan-shaped area, and the above-mentioned orientation information may be the direction facing the face of the first virtual character.

[0058] In an optional embodiment, the direction of the first operating range can be determined based on the orientation information, and the size of the first operating range can be determined based on the first control parameter. Furthermore, after determining the first operating range, multiple second virtual characters can be screened based on the first operating range to obtain virtual characters within the first operating range, and then the target virtual character can be determined based on the character camp between the virtual character and the first virtual character, wherein the target virtual character belongs to a neutral camp.

[0059] In another optional embodiment, when the target virtual character is determined, the target virtual character can be connected to the first virtual character so that the target virtual character can be pulled closer, engaged in close combat, pushed away, etc. through the connection, thereby improving the user's gaming experience.

[0060] Exemplarily, the skill of pulling people in a fan-shaped range can be released through the first sub-operation control. The skill of pulling people in a fan-shaped range can be divided into two steps. After activating the skill of pulling people in a fan-shaped range, you can enter the first step, that is, connect the target virtual character and the first virtual character, and automatically enter the next step after a short time, that is, pull the target virtual character closer, and change the skill reuse type to the energy storage type. The first virtual character can be a puppet princess, the target virtual character can be an NPC, and other virtual characters can be Sirius.

[0061] Optionally, selecting a target virtual character located within the first operating range from a plurality of second virtual characters includes: selecting an initial virtual character located within the first operating range from a plurality of second virtual characters; and determining a target virtual character based on a character state and a character camp of the initial virtual character, wherein the character state of the target virtual character is a preset state, and the character camp of the target virtual character is a neutral camp.

[0062] The above-mentioned character states include but are not limited to fleeing state, running state, and stationary state. The character states are only used as examples here. The character states in specific game scenes can be set according to needs.

[0063] When the virtual character is in a dynamic state such as fleeing or running, the virtual character cannot be connected. Therefore, the above-mentioned preset state can be a state other than fleeing or running, such as a static state. When determining the target virtual character that can be connected, it is necessary to determine it in combination with the character state of the initial virtual character, so that the character state is the camp of the virtual character that the first virtual character can perform skill operations on.

[0064] In the game scene, people in the fan-shaped area in front of the first virtual character can be connected, and people in the running or fleeing state cannot be connected. The fleeing state is when the player uses combat-related skills and behaviors, which will cause the surrounding NPCs to panic; the running state can be an action posture, in which the movement speed is greatly increased. This posture is optional and can only be used by the character controlled by the player. The NPC will not show this posture, so this posture is an important sign to distinguish whether the character is a player or an NPC.

[0065] The above-mentioned character camps include but are not limited to our camp, enemy camp, neutral camp, etc. When the virtual character is in the same camp as the first virtual character, if the virtual character is connected, it will cause damage to the virtual character in the same camp. Therefore, when determining the target virtual character that can be connected, it is necessary to combine the character camp of the initial virtual character to determine so that the character camp is the camp of the virtual character that the first virtual character can perform skill operations on.

[0066] In an optional embodiment, the virtual characters within the first operating range can be operated, and therefore, an initial virtual character within the first operating range needs to be selected from a plurality of second virtual characters, so as to determine the target virtual character according to the initial virtual character.

[0067] In another optional embodiment, during the process of the virtual character being pulled closer, it can be melee combat, connected, pulled closer, and pushed away. Among them, the pulling closer is divided into two steps: connecting and pulling closer. After the skill is triggered, the target virtual character is first connected, and then the target virtual character is pulled closer along the line; for pushing away, the target virtual character can be selected and pushed away for a distance. Fighting is a common skill of virtual characters. Different virtual characters in this camp have this ability. The effect is to attack the enemy at close range, cause damage and repel the enemy for a short distance. Fighting at this time is no different from the normal state.

[0068] Optionally, selecting an initial virtual character within the first operating range from a plurality of second virtual characters includes: determining whether a first virtual object exists within the first operating range; in response to the presence of the first virtual object within the first operating range, selecting a virtual character within the first operating range and between the first virtual character and the first virtual object from a plurality of second virtual characters to obtain the initial virtual character.

[0069] The first virtual object mentioned above may be an obstacle, wherein the obstacle may be a table, a chair, a building, etc. in the game scene. No limitation is made to the first virtual object here.

[0070] In an optional embodiment, it can be determined whether there is a first virtual object within the first operating range. If the first virtual object exists within the first operating range, it is necessary to avoid the first virtual object when releasing skills. Therefore, among the multiple second virtual characters, only the virtual character that is within the first operating range and between the first virtual character and the first virtual object can be selected.

[0071] Optionally, controlling the target virtual character to move in the virtual scene includes one of the following: in response to the waiting time reaching a preset waiting time, controlling the target virtual character to move in the virtual scene; in response to a second touch operation applied to the first sub-operation control, controlling the target virtual character to move in the virtual scene.

[0072] The preset waiting time mentioned above may be a preset waiting period after executing the step of selecting a target virtual character, for example, 3 seconds, but not limited thereto.

[0073] The first touch operation mentioned above may be an operation for releasing a connection skill, by connecting the line to hit the target virtual character.

[0074] The second touch operation can be an operation for releasing the wire pulling skill, and controlling the target virtual character to move in the virtual scene by pulling the wire. Optionally, the second touch operation includes but is not limited to clicking, sliding, dragging, and long pressing the first operation control, and the second touch operation is not limited here.

[0075] In an optional embodiment, a configurable switch may be added to configure the subsequent interaction mode, which may include the first interaction mode and the second interaction mode.

[0076] The first interaction mode may be to control the target virtual character to move in the virtual scene when the waiting time reaches a preset waiting time.

[0077] The second interaction method is that after the player uses the connection skill, the connection skill is changed to the pulling skill. In the following time, the second touch operation can be performed on the first sub-operation control to achieve the purpose of releasing the pulling skill.

[0078] In an optional embodiment, after the target virtual character is controlled to move in the virtual scene by the pulling skill, the target virtual character will be affected by the effect of reduced movement speed, and the virtual character in the pulling state will obtain the control state, and then the virtual character in the pulling state is quickly dragged toward the defense line of the first virtual character for a distance, and after the dragging is completed, the control state can be cleared. The control state can be the skill effect of controlling the puppet princess (Control of Puppet Princess, referred to as BUFF).

[0079] Optionally, in response to the second touch operation applied to the first sub-operation control, controlling the virtual character to move in the virtual scene includes: in response to the second touch operation applied to the first sub-operation control, determining a first operation moment of the first touch operation and a second operation moment of the second touch operation; obtaining a difference between the first operation moment and the second operation moment to obtain an operation time difference; and in response to the operation time difference being within the first operation time period, controlling the virtual character to move in the virtual scene.

[0080] The first operation time mentioned above may be the operation time of releasing the connection skill. The second operation time mentioned above may be the operation time of releasing the pull line skill.

[0081] The operation time difference obtained by the difference between the first operation time and the second operation time is used to determine whether the second touch operation is valid.

[0082] The first operation time period mentioned above may be a preset operation time period, wherein the first operation time period may be 3 seconds, and the numerical value here is only an example and is not specifically limited.

[0083] In an optional embodiment, after responding to the second touch operation of the first sub-operation control, the first operation moment of the first touch operation and the second operation moment of the second touch operation can be determined, and the difference between the first operation moment and the second operation moment can be obtained, so as to determine whether the wire-pulling skill is valid according to the operation time difference. If the operation time difference is within the first operation time period, it means that the wire-pulling skill is valid. At this time, the virtual character can be controlled to move in the virtual scene. If the operation time difference is within the second operation time period, it means that the wire-pulling skill has expired and it is difficult to control the virtual character to move in the virtual scene. Optionally, the target virtual character can be controlled by reconnecting the target virtual character.

[0084] For example, after the player uses the connection skill, he waits for 0.6 seconds to avoid quickly connecting the points in a short period of time. At this time, the connection skill button becomes the pull line, and within the next 3 seconds, the pull line can be clicked. If there is no connection within 3 seconds, the pull line will not be automatically used after 3 seconds. After 3 seconds or after the player uses the connection, the pull line skill button will change back to the connection skill button. It should be noted that if there is no connection skill, the pull line skill will not be triggered.

[0085] Step 1: Detect the orientation information of the puppet princess, that is, the direction she is facing. According to the direction she is facing, attach a connection BUFF to the virtual characters except Sirius in the specified fan-shaped range. The virtual characters in the connection BUFF can display connection effects and connect with the puppet princess. The connection BUFF can last for 3 seconds. Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a sector-shaped range according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 3As shown, the puppet princess can connect to the target virtual character within the fan-shaped range, wherein the target virtual character can be an NPC.

[0086] In step two, the pulling state after the connection can be determined according to the pre-set configuration information. After the pulling of the line starts for the virtual character within the fan-shaped range, the puppet princess will be affected by the effect of reduced movement speed, and the virtual character in the pulling state will obtain the puppet princess control BUFF. Then the controlled virtual character will be quickly dragged in the direction of the puppet princess for a distance. After the dragging is completed, the puppet princess control BUFF will be cleared. Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of a wire pulling state according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 4 As shown, after the connection, the line can be pulled so that the target virtual character is dragged in the direction of the puppet princess.

[0087] For the interactive requirements in the game scene, you can set the interactive requirements to fix the casting direction and the virtual character's orientation. Figure 5 is an interactive schematic diagram according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 6 is another interactive schematic diagram according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in the figure, when the virtual character faces left, the skill's casting direction is also on the left, and when the virtual character faces right, the skill's casting direction is also on the right. The skill's casting direction is always fixed with the virtual character's direction and has nothing to do with the direction of the camera in the game scene. Figure 7 is another interactive schematic diagram according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 7 As shown, when you hold down the skill joystick, you can drag the camera's perspective, but it will not change the direction of the virtual character.

[0088] Optionally, controlling the target virtual character to move in the virtual scene includes one of the following: controlling the target virtual character to move in a first target direction, wherein the first target direction is used to represent a direction from the target virtual character to the first virtual character; controlling the target virtual character to move in a preset direction, wherein the preset direction is used to represent a direction parallel to the current orientation of the target virtual character.

[0089] The first target direction may be a connecting direction, and the target virtual character may be pulled closer to the position of the first virtual character through the first target direction, so that the first virtual character may attack or perform other operations on the target virtual character.

[0090] In an optional embodiment, the target virtual character may be controlled to move along the first target direction of the pull line so as to pull the target virtual character closer to the position of the first virtual character.

[0091] The above preset directions can also be flexibly set according to user needs, and no limitation is made to the preset directions here.

[0092] In another optional embodiment, the target virtual character may be controlled to move in a preset direction, so that the target virtual character may move in a direction parallel to the current orientation of the target virtual character through the preset direction.

[0093] In another optional embodiment, when the target virtual character is brought closer, there are multiple requirements for the dragging method of the target virtual character. The target virtual character can be dragged along the line, or the virtual characters in the line can be dragged parallel to each other toward the defense line of the first virtual character. Different methods can be implemented according to user needs. Optionally, the choice can be made based on the simplicity of code implementation.

[0094] Optionally, after determining the target virtual character among the plurality of second virtual characters, the method further includes: displaying a connection effect between the first virtual character and the target virtual character within a first duration period.

[0095] The first duration period mentioned above can be set by oneself, and can be flexibly set according to the game scene.

[0096] The above-mentioned connection effect may be a display effect of the connection between the first virtual character and the target virtual character, wherein the specific display mode of the connection effect may be customized according to user needs, and the specific display mode of the connection effect may also be a default setting.

[0097] In an optional embodiment, during the first duration period, in order to facilitate the user to check whether the connection is valid, a connection effect can be displayed between the first virtual character and the target virtual character, and the user can judge whether the target virtual character is hit, or judge whether the connection is invalid based on the connection effect displayed between the first virtual character and the target virtual character.

[0098] Taking the characters in the game scene as an example description, the virtual game characters within the specified fan-shaped range and the direction in which the character is facing are detected. Other virtual characters except Sirius can be attached with a connection BUFF. The virtual characters under the connection BUFF have a connection special effect on their bodies, and are connected to the puppet princess of the first virtual character. If the connection hits at least one target, the connection skill of the first virtual character becomes a pulling skill, which lasts for a period of time. The duration can be set by the user according to needs.

[0099] Optionally, the first operation control includes a second sub-operation control; based on the character information of the first virtual character, determining a target virtual character from among the plurality of second virtual characters, comprising: obtaining a second control parameter corresponding to the second sub-operation control and orientation information contained in the character information of the first virtual character; based on the orientation information and the second control parameter, controlling the second virtual object to move in the virtual scene; selecting a virtual character that collides with the second virtual object from among the plurality of second virtual characters, and obtaining the target virtual character

[0100] The second sub-operation control may be a control for releasing an active skill of pushing a target virtual character away. Specifically, the active skill may be achieved by launching a virtual object so that the virtual object hits the target virtual character, thereby pushing the target virtual character away. Therefore, it may be called playing billiards.

[0101] The above-mentioned second control parameter may be a control parameter used to represent the launching skill, for example, it may be a parameter such as the volume, flight speed, and flight time of the launched virtual object, which may be configured separately according to actual needs.

[0102] The second virtual object mentioned above may be a pre-designed virtual object, and may be a collision object, wherein the collision object may be a giant mechanical arm, which is only used as an example for explanation and is not specifically limited.

[0103] In an optional embodiment, after determining the second control parameter, the flight direction of the second virtual object can be determined according to the orientation information, and according to the second control parameter, the second virtual object can be controlled to fly along the flight direction in the virtual scene so as to collide with one of the second virtual characters, and the virtual character that collides with the second virtual object is selected as the target virtual character.

[0104] In another optional embodiment, a giant mechanical arm can be launched in front of the first virtual character. After the giant mechanical arm hits the first virtual character in the field, it will push the character away for a certain distance. If the pushed-away virtual character hits another virtual character, that virtual character will also be pushed away for a certain distance. During the process of the virtual character being pushed away, it can be attacked and pulled closer in close combat. It should be noted that during the process of pushing away, since the virtual character has been pushed away and is out of the combat distance of the first virtual character, it is difficult for the first virtual character to release a combat attack on the hit virtual character. This skill is mainly used to cooperate with teammates in combat, that is, after the first virtual character pushes the enemy away, the teammates of the first virtual character can attack the virtual character.

[0105] The button interaction requirement of the second sub-operation control mentioned above can be click-to-release, the casting state of the virtual character can be casting while running, and after the virtual character launches the collision object, the movement speed will be reduced. The reuse type of the skill can be changed to the energy storage type.

[0106] Optionally, after the second virtual object is launched, the second virtual object may not interrupt or affect the movement and interaction of the first virtual character during its flight.

[0107] Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of a game operation according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 8 As shown, you can push Sirius so that it crashes into the NPC, causing damage to Sirius. Fig. 9 is another schematic diagram of game operation according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Fig. 9 As shown, the NPC can be pushed so that the NPC crashes into Sirius, thereby causing damage to Sirius.

[0108] For the interaction requirements in the game scene, the interaction method can be the same as the first sub-operation control, which will not be repeated here.

[0109] Optionally, controlling the target virtual character to move in the virtual scene includes one of the following: controlling the target virtual character to move in a second target direction, wherein the second target direction is used to represent a direction from the first virtual character to the target virtual character; controlling the target virtual character to move in a preset direction.

[0110] The above-mentioned preset direction can be configured by the user. The preset direction can be the direction indicated by the flight direction of the virtual object. There is no limitation on the preset direction here and it can be set according to the needs of the user.

[0111] In an optional embodiment, after the second virtual object hits the target virtual character, the target virtual character may be pushed to move in a second target direction, that is, the target virtual character may be pushed away; the target virtual character may also be controlled to move in a preset direction.

[0112] Optionally, during the process of controlling the target virtual character to move in the virtual scene, the method further includes: in response to a collision between the target virtual character and other virtual characters, controlling the target virtual character to stop moving, and controlling the other virtual characters to move in the virtual scene.

[0113] In an optional embodiment, during the process of controlling the target virtual character to move in the virtual scene, if the target virtual character collides with other virtual characters, the debuff effect on the target virtual character can be transferred to the other virtual characters, and the other virtual characters can be controlled to move in the virtual scene.

[0114] For example, after the collision object hits the first target, the first target will gain the Puppet Princess Control BUFF and be knocked back a certain distance along the flight direction of the collision object. If the target collides with other targets after being knocked back, it will stop and eliminate the Puppet Princess Control BUFF. Then the colliding target will gain the Puppet Princess Control BUFF and be knocked back a certain distance along the flight direction of the collision object. This cycle will continue until any target collides with the terrain. This is only an example and is not limited to any other example.

[0115] Optionally, controlling the target virtual character to move in the virtual scene includes: controlling the target virtual character to move a preset distance in the virtual scene at a preset moving speed.

[0116] The above-mentioned preset moving speed may be the moving speed of the second virtual object in the virtual scene, wherein the preset moving speed may also be a moving speed preset by the user according to actual needs.

[0117] The above-mentioned preset distance can be set according to the actual needs of the user, and the preset distance is not limited here.

[0118] In an optional embodiment, the target virtual character may be controlled to move a preset distance in the virtual scene at a preset moving speed, wherein the preset distance is used to indicate the distance that the target virtual character moves away in the virtual scene.

[0119] Optionally, controlling the target virtual character that collides and / or other virtual characters that collide to add a debuff effect includes: controlling the target virtual character and / or other virtual characters to add a debuff effect during a second duration period; and in response to the debuff being added to the target virtual character, controlling the state of the target virtual character based on the character camp of the target virtual character.

[0120] The second duration period mentioned above can be determined according to the attack strength of the first virtual character, and the second duration period can also be a default time period, wherein the second duration period can be set according to the needs of the user.

[0121] The above-mentioned debuff effect added to the target virtual character can be determined according to the character camp of the target virtual character.

[0122] In an optional embodiment, when the target virtual character is an NPC in the game scene, the debuff effect added to the target virtual character may be a stun effect; when the target virtual character is a virtual character in the hostile camp to the first virtual character, the debuff effect added to the target virtual character may be damage, deceleration, or stun effect.

[0123] In another optional embodiment, after a virtual character in the game scene is pulled closer or pushed away by the puppet princess's general attack or skills, if it collides with other virtual characters in the scene, it will be subject to the following puppet princess control effects, depending on the colliding characters:

[0124] 1)NPC: Stunned;

[0125] 2) Sirius, that is, the virtual character that is in a hostile state with the first virtual character: can be damaged, slowed down, and stunned. Among them, the value of the stun effect on Sirius can be the same as that of the NPC, and can also be set according to the user's needs.

[0126] In an optional embodiment, after adding the puppet princess control effect to Sirius, when Sirius is knocked down by teammates within a period of time, the puppet itself is also counted as an assist, regardless of whether the BUFF causes damage to Sirius. Sirius under the BUFF effect can be melee combat, connected, pulled closer, and pushed away. The time when Sirius is knocked down by teammates within a period of time can be the same as the judgment time of the assist code function.

[0127] Optionally, the character camp of the target virtual character is a hostile camp; based on the character camp of the target virtual character, the state of the target virtual character is controlled, including at least one of the following: within a first sub-duration period, the target virtual character is controlled to be in a controlled state; within a second sub-duration period, the movement speed of the target virtual character is controlled to be reduced according to a preset ratio; the life attribute value of the target virtual character is controlled to be reduced by a preset value.

[0128] The first sub-duration period can be used to indicate the time period after the target virtual character is hit, wherein the first sub-duration period can be set according to the needs of the user. The second sub-duration period can be used to indicate the time period after the target virtual character is hit.

[0129] The target virtual character may be a virtual character that is in an enemy camp with the first virtual character.

[0130] The above-mentioned controlled state may be a dizzy state. The above-mentioned preset ratio may be used to calculate the reduction ratio of the moving speed of the target virtual character.

[0131] In an optional embodiment, during the first sub-duration period, the target virtual character can be controlled to be in a dizzy state; during the second sub-duration period, the speed of the target virtual character after the speed is reduced can be determined according to a preset ratio and a moving speed; the life attribute of the target virtual character can be controlled to reduce a preset value, wherein the preset value can be set according to user needs.

[0132] Exemplarily, when the target virtual character with the BUFF collides with other virtual characters, regardless of whether the target virtual character has the BUFF, the BUFF is cleared. It should be noted that the collision here refers to the collision of pulling or pushing caused by the skill; then both parties stop their original actions, where the action can be being pulled in or knocked back, and the BUFF lasts for X seconds, during which they are stunned for Y seconds; if the target virtual character is Sirius, he will also receive X points of damage and a deceleration effect of X% for X seconds, where the deceleration effect can be counted from the start or end of the stun, and there is no limitation here. When the BUFF duration ends, Sirius triggers hit protection. This mechanism reuses the hit protection caused by melee combat. This function can be planned and configured with a switch, and it can be configured whether to trigger the hit protection after the stun ends.

[0133] Optionally, the character camp of the target virtual character is a neutral camp; and based on the character camp of the target virtual character, controlling the state of the target virtual character includes: controlling the target virtual character to be in a controlled state during the second sub-duration period.

[0134] In an optional embodiment, if the character camp of the target virtual character is a neutral camp, it can be explained that the target virtual character is an NPC and there is no need to cause damage to the target virtual character. Therefore, during the second sub-duration period, the target virtual character can be controlled to be in a controlled state.

[0135] Optionally, controlling the target virtual character and / or other virtual characters to add debuff effects includes: in response to the target virtual character not colliding with other virtual characters, controlling the target virtual character to add debuff effects; in response to the target virtual character colliding with other virtual characters, clearing the debuff effects added by the target virtual character and controlling other virtual characters to add debuff effects.

[0136] In an optional embodiment, since the debuff effect usually only exists for a period of time, before the duration of the debuff effect ends, if the target virtual character has not collided with other virtual characters, the target virtual character always carries the debuff effect, reducing the life attribute value of the target virtual character, or reducing the movement speed of the target virtual character; if the target virtual character collides with other virtual characters, the debuff effect added to the target virtual character can be cleared, and other virtual characters can be controlled to add debuff effects, thereby transferring the required debuff effect through collision.

[0137] Optionally, in response to a first touch operation applied to a first operation control among multiple operation controls, the method further includes: obtaining a second operation time period and a preset speed corresponding to the first operation control; controlling the movement speed of the first virtual character to decrease from a current speed to a preset speed within the second operation time period; and in response to the end of the second operation time period, controlling the movement speed of the first virtual character to return to the current speed.

[0138] The preset speed may be set by the user, and the preset speed may be slower than the current speed.

[0139] In an optional embodiment, a second operation time period and a preset speed corresponding to the first operation control can be obtained, and the first virtual character can be controlled to reduce the current speed to the preset speed within the second operation time period. During the use of active skills, the first virtual character will be affected, causing the speed of the first virtual character itself to be reduced. After the operation is completed, the movement speed of the first virtual character can be controlled to return to the current speed.

[0140] Optionally, the method also includes: in response to receiving a first touch operation to operate a first operation control, determining a usage count corresponding to the first operation control; in response to the usage count being less than a preset number, determining a target virtual character based on character information of the first virtual character; in response to the usage count being greater than or equal to the preset number, refusing to respond to the first touch operation.

[0141] The number of times the first operating control is used may be the number of times the player uses the first operating control.

[0142] The above-mentioned preset number of times may be the available number of times of the first operation control. Optionally, a default number of times of use may be preset, and the available number of times may be increased after the skill cooldown ends.

[0143] The operation skill corresponding to the above-mentioned first operation control can set an operation upper limit, wherein the skill of the first operation control can be used a maximum of a preset number of times, the preset number of times can be 3, and the user can also flexibly adjust the preset number of times according to needs, and no limitation is made here.

[0144] In an optional embodiment, after receiving a first touch operation to operate a first operation control, the number of times the first operation control is used can be determined. If the number of times is less than a preset number, it means that the first operation control is available and the active skill can be released. Therefore, the target virtual character can be determined based on the character information of the first virtual character. If the number of times is greater than or equal to the preset number, it means that the first operation control is not available at this time and the active skill cannot be released. Therefore, the first touch operation is refused to be responded.

[0145] Optionally, the method also includes: determining a third virtual character among multiple second virtual characters that is in a knocked-down state, wherein the character camp of the third virtual character is a hostile camp; determining a strike target that puts the third virtual character in a knocked-down state; and in response to the strike target being the first virtual character, increasing and adjusting the preset number of times.

[0146] In an optional embodiment, the first virtual character knocks down the third virtual character by itself, and the preset number of times for the first virtual character can be increased and adjusted as a reward for the first virtual character successfully knocking down the third virtual character, so that the first virtual character can knock down more third virtual characters subsequently.

[0147] Optionally, in response to the attack target not being the first virtual character, the method further includes: determining whether the third virtual character carries a second state identifier before being in a knocked-down state; in response to the third virtual character carrying the second state identifier, increasing and adjusting the preset number of times; in response to the third virtual character not carrying the second state identifier, refusing to increase and adjust the preset number of times.

[0148] The second status identifier mentioned above may be a status identifier corresponding to the detrimental effect added to the third virtual character.

[0149] In an optional embodiment, if the third virtual character carries the second status identifier, it can be considered that the first virtual character provides assists in defeating the third virtual character. Therefore, in order to reward the first virtual character, the preset number of times can be increased and adjusted so that the player can continue to use skills; if the third virtual character does not carry the second status identifier, it can be considered that the first virtual character does not provide assists. Therefore, the preset number of times is refused to be increased.

[0150] Optionally, increasing and adjusting the preset number of times includes: determining whether the preset number of times is greater than or equal to a number threshold; and in response to the preset number of times being less than the number threshold, increasing and adjusting the preset number of times.

[0151] The above number threshold can be used to indicate the upper limit of the available number of times.

[0152] In an optional embodiment, in order to prevent the player from operating the first operation control infinitely, a number threshold can be set in advance. If the preset number is greater than or equal to the number threshold, it means that the user has operated the first operation control many times and can no longer operate it. Therefore, it is prohibited to increase or adjust the preset number; if the preset number is less than the number threshold, it means that the user has not operated the first operation control many times and can operate it again. Therefore, the preset number can be increased or adjusted.

[0153] Optionally, in response to a third touch operation acting on a second operation control among multiple operation controls, the method also includes: determining an operation object corresponding to the third touch operation from multiple second virtual characters; performing a target operation corresponding to the second operation control on the operation object, and controlling the operation object to carry a second state identifier; in response to completion of the target operation, clearing the second state identifier carried by the operation object.

[0154] The above-mentioned target operation may be a melee combat operation.

[0155] The second operation control may be a control for triggering a melee combat operation, and the third touch operation may be an operation performed by a user on the second operation control, indicating that the user wishes to trigger the melee combat operation. Optionally, the third touch operation includes but is not limited to a click operation, a slide operation, a drag operation, and a long press operation on the first operation control, and the third touch operation is not limited here.

[0156] The above-mentioned operation object may be a virtual character that the user wishes to perform a melee combat operation on, usually a virtual character of an enemy camp.

[0157] In an optional embodiment, an operation object corresponding to the third touch operation can be determined from multiple second virtual characters. When the target operation corresponding to the second operation control is performed on the operation object, a BUFF can be added to the operation object. After the target operation is completed, the BUFF carried by the operation object can be cleared.

[0158] For example, when the Puppet Princess engages in close combat with Sirius, the Puppet Princess control BUFF will be immediately applied to the target. Then the target will be knocked back, and the close combat will end. The BUFF can be cleared. When the puppet engages in close combat, the enemy will be knocked back and a collision will occur. This BUFF needs to be generated to determine whether a collision will occur after the knockback. During close combat, there is an action flow of fixed duration. When the action flow ends, the close combat ends.

[0159] Through the description of the above implementation methods, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the method according to the above embodiment can be implemented by means of software plus a necessary general hardware platform, and of course can also be implemented by hardware, but in many cases the former is a better implementation method. Based on such an understanding, the technical solution of the present disclosure, or the part that contributes to the prior art, can be embodied in the form of a software product, which is stored in a storage medium (such as ROM / RAM, a disk, or an optical disk), and includes a number of instructions for a terminal device (which can be a mobile phone, a computer, a server, or a network device, etc.) to execute the methods of each embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0163] 2) After the virtual characters in the game scene collide, the BUFF can be affected by other interactive mechanisms during its duration. When affected by other interactive mechanisms, the current BUFF state will end. During the BUFF duration, the characters can be attacked in close combat, connected, pulled, and pushed away.

[0164] Method 2: You can add a configurable switch to modify the state of the BUFF duration after the collision of people in the field:

As used below, the terms "unit" and "module" can be a combination of software and / or hardware that implements a predetermined function. Although the devices described in the following embodiments are preferably implemented in software, the implementation of hardware, or a combination of software and hardware, is also possible and conceivable.

[0177] Fig.10 is a structural block diagram of a control device for a virtual character according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein a graphical user interface is provided through a terminal device, and the content displayed by the graphical user interface includes a touch area, such as Fig.10 As shown, the device 10 comprises:

[0178] A determination module 1002 is configured to respond to a first touch operation on a first operation control among the plurality of operation controls and determine a target virtual character among the plurality of second virtual characters based on the character information of the first virtual character;

[0179] The movement control module 1004 is used to control the target virtual character to move in the virtual scene so that the target virtual character collides with other virtual characters among the plurality of second virtual characters except the target virtual character, wherein the other virtual characters belong to the hostile camp or the neutral camp of the first virtual character;

[0180] The effect control module 1006 is used to control the target virtual character that has collided and / or other virtual characters that have collided to add a detrimental effect.

[0181] Optionally, the determination module is also used to obtain a first control parameter corresponding to the first sub-operation control and orientation information contained in the character information of the first virtual character, determine a first operation range corresponding to the first sub-operation control based on the orientation information and the first control parameter, and select a target virtual character within the first operation range from multiple second virtual characters.

[0182] Optionally, the determination module is also used to select an initial virtual character located within the first operation range from multiple second virtual characters, and determine the target virtual character based on the character state and character camp of the initial virtual character, wherein the character state of the target virtual character is a preset state, and the character camp of the target virtual character is a neutral camp.
