[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solution of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0022] In some games, the game scenes usually include a large number of non-player characters, which are used to promote the development of the game or to assist players in completing game tasks. In the related art, the game developers pre-configure the character attributes of the non-player characters, such as scene positions, behavioral actions, trigger functions, etc. However, the character attributes of the non-player characters created by the game developers are relatively fixed, resulting in relatively fixed interactions between players and non-player characters in the game, and the interaction method is relatively single. The game content is not rich enough, which brings players less freshness and interest, and the players' gaming experience is not good, which may even lead to the loss of game users, thereby leading to a waste of game server resources. Based on this, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, device and electronic device for editing game characters, and the technology can be applied to mobile phones, computers, notebooks, tablet computers and other devices.

[0023] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method for editing a game character can be run on a local terminal device or a server. When the method for editing a game character is run on a server, the method can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interaction system, wherein the cloud interaction system includes a server and a client device.

[0024] In an optional implementation, various cloud applications can be run under the cloud interaction system, such as cloud games. Taking cloud games as an example, cloud games refer to a game mode based on cloud computing. In the operation mode of cloud games, the operating body of the game program and the main body of the game screen presentation are separated. The storage and operation of the editing method of the game character are completed on the cloud game server. The role of the client device is used for receiving and sending data and presenting the game screen. For example, the client device can be a display device with data transmission function close to the user side, such as a mobile terminal, a TV, a computer, a handheld computer, etc.; but the cloud game server in the cloud is used for information processing. When playing the game, the player operates the client device to send an operation instruction to the cloud game server. The cloud game server runs the game according to the operation instruction, encodes and compresses the game screen and other data, and returns it to the client device through the network. Finally, the client device decodes and outputs the game screen.

[0025] In an optional embodiment, taking a game as an example, a local terminal device stores a game program and is used to present a game screen. The local terminal device is used to interact with the player through a graphical user interface, that is, the game program is downloaded and installed by an electronic device and run conventionally. The local terminal device may provide the graphical user interface to the player in a variety of ways, for example, it may be rendered and displayed on a display screen of the terminal, or provided to the player through a holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device may include a display screen and a processor, the display screen is used to present a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface includes a game screen, and the processor is used to run the game, generate a graphical user interface, and control the display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.

[0026] In a possible implementation, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for editing a game 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 1 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0027] Step S102, displaying a game editing scene provided by running the game program on a graphical user interface; in response to a creation instruction of a character generation area, creating a character generation area in the game editing scene, the character generation area being at least a part of the game editing scene;

[0028] The above-mentioned game editing scene refers to a game scene created by a player. The game editing scene can be an empty game scene or a game scene including some initial scene objects, or a game scene that the player has created and saved in advance (the game scene can be a published scene or an unpublished scene).

[0029] For example, an empty game editing scene can be created, and the player can edit various scene contents in the game editing scene, including creating non-player characters. It is also possible to open an already constructed game editing scene and then create non-player characters in the game editing scene, that is, the player can save the game editing scene that he has edited before and edit it again. Specifically, the non-player character can be created at the target scene position of the game editing scene, and the target scene position can be a preset position or a position selected by the player.

[0030] Optionally, there are multiple ways to enter the game editing scene, that is, the graphical user interface displays multiple operation modes of the game editing scene provided by running the game program; for example, in the game lobby, there is a first entrance to enter the game battle / competition scene, and there is also a second entrance to enter the game editing scene. Through the second entrance, the graphical user interface will display the game editing scene provided by running the game program, and the player can edit the game editing scene. After completing the editing, the player can choose to save or publish so that the current player or other players can enter the edited game scene to play the game.

[0031] This embodiment is implemented in the game editing stage. Optionally, a plurality of area generation controls are included in the game editing scene, corresponding to different area shapes. In response to the selection operation of the plurality of area generation controls, a character generation area corresponding to the selected area generation control is created in the game editing scene; or, in response to the drag operation of the target area generation control, the target area generation control is controlled to move to a specified position in the game editing scene, and a character generation area is created at the specified position. The character generation area can be a two-dimensional area surrounded by a two-dimensional model, or a three-dimensional area surrounded by a three-dimensional model.

[0032] In addition, the game editing scene may also include model components, and the character generation area may also include model components. Usually, the model components will only occupy part of the area in the character generation area. The character generation area is used to indicate the generation position of the virtual character, that is, the generation position of the virtual character is located in the character generation area, specifically in the free area in the character generation area, where the free area is the area not occupied by the model components. In addition, the character generation area is only used to limit the position of the generated virtual character, and will not limit the movement range of the virtual character after generation, that is, after the editing is completed, the virtual character can move to any position in the game scene.

[0033] Step S104, in response to the scenario configuration operation for the character generation area, determining target scenario information for the character generation area;

[0034] The above-mentioned scenario configuration operation can be a selection operation for preset scenario information. Usually, different scenario information is pre-configured with the total number of virtual characters generated in the character generation area and the virtual accessories of the characters (such as virtual clothing, virtual accessories, etc.). Usually, different virtual accessories can also be pre-configured with multiple interactive actions.

[0035] Optionally, a configuration control is displayed in the game editing scene, and in response to a trigger operation on the configuration control, a scenario selection control is displayed, and in response to a trigger operation on the scenario selection control, multiple optional scenario information are displayed, and in response to a trigger operation on the target scenario information, the target scenario information of the character generation area is determined.

[0036] Optionally, a configuration control is displayed in the game editing scene, and in response to a trigger operation on the configuration control, a configuration window is displayed, in which a scenario selection control and a character attribute configuration control of a virtual character (such as a clothing configuration control, a character quantity configuration control, etc.) are included; in response to a trigger operation on a scenario selection control, multiple optional scenario information are displayed, and in response to a trigger operation on target scenario information, the target scenario information of the character generation area is determined.

[0037] Usually the game system will provide multiple optional scenario information, such as banquet mode, meeting mode, office mode, restaurant mode, hotel mode, dance mode, laboratory mode, etc. For example, the banquet mode will be pre-configured with a total of 10 virtual characters generated in the character generation area, and the virtual accessories of the characters are waiter clothing, senior guest clothing, chef clothing, reporter clothing, etc. For example, the pre-configured actions of the waiter clothing include: serving dishes, walking with plates, wiping tables, etc., and the pre-configured actions of the reporter clothing include: taking pictures, thinking, etc.

[0038] For example, Figure 2 As shown, a regional configuration window is displayed, in which scenario information is displayed in a box to the right of "Scenario Setting". Clicking the scenario information displays a list of multiple optional scenario information, from which target scenario information can be selected, and then the target scenario information is displayed in the box.

[0039] Step S106, in response to the generation instruction, generating at least one virtual character in the game editing scene corresponding to the character generation area, wherein the character attributes of the at least one virtual character correspond to the target scenario information.

[0040] The above-mentioned generation instruction can be an instruction generated for the trigger operation of the generation control, or an instruction generated by input voice, etc. The above-mentioned virtual character can be a character controlled by a player, or a non-player character. The character attributes of the above-mentioned virtual character generally include: virtual accessories equipped by the virtual character and the interactive actions of the virtual character, and can also include the hairstyle, body shape, gender, etc. of the virtual character. The interactive action generally refers to the action performed by the character generation area of ​​the virtual character, and of course it can also be the action performed by the virtual character at the initial position of the game running scene. The interactive action can be an action pre-configured by the target scenario information, or it can be an action corresponding to the virtual accessories currently equipped by the virtual character.

[0041] Optionally, at least one virtual character is generated in the game editing scene corresponding to the character generation area based on the target scenario information. For example, the number of virtual characters pre-configured in the target scenario information is 10, and the pre-configured virtual accessories are waiter clothing, reporter clothing, and high-end guest clothing. In response to the generation instruction, 10 virtual characters are generated in the game editing scene corresponding to the character generation area, of which 3 virtual characters are equipped with waiter clothing, 3 reporter virtual characters are equipped with clothing, and 4 virtual characters are equipped with high-end guest clothing.

[0042] Optionally, the generation positions of the virtual characters are evenly distributed in the game editing scene corresponding to the character generation area. Alternatively, the generation positions of the virtual characters are related to the attribute information preset by the model component. Optionally, the virtual characters are distinguished by gender, and the number of virtual characters of different genders can be evenly distributed, randomly generated, or generated according to preset requirements.

[0043] It should be noted that, in some optional embodiments, after the virtual character is generated, in response to a sliding operation on the virtual character, the virtual character can also be controlled to move in the game editing scene, thereby changing the generation position of the virtual character.

[0044] Optionally, the generation of a virtual character in the character generation area may also be the generation of a character component, which may be a player character or a non-player character, so that subsequent players can edit the position of the generated character component.

[0045] The disclosed embodiment provides a method for editing a game character, which displays a game editing scene provided by running a game program; creates a character generation area in the game editing scene; responds to a scenario configuration operation for the character generation area, and determines the target scenario information of the character generation area; responds to a generation instruction, generates at least one virtual character in the game editing scene corresponding to the character generation area, and the character attribute of at least one virtual character corresponds to the target scenario information. In this method, a player can generate multiple virtual characters with different character attributes in the game editing scene as needed, so that the player can see richer game content in the game, and the interactions of different virtual characters are also different, thereby bringing a higher sense of freshness and interest to the player, improving the player's game experience, thereby increasing the number of game users and improving the resource utilization of the game server.

[0046] In some embodiments, the character attributes of the virtual character include virtual accessories; after responding to the scenario configuration operation for the character generation area and determining the target scenario information of the character generation area, the above method also includes: determining the virtual accessories corresponding to the target scenario information; the virtual accessories are used to equip the virtual character when the virtual character is generated in the game editing scene corresponding to the character generation area.

[0047] Usually, different scenario information corresponds to different numbers and types of virtual accessories. The above virtual accessories usually refer to character clothing, and can also be virtual hats, virtual backpacks, etc. After determining the virtual accessories corresponding to the target scenario information, they are usually equipped to the virtual character when the virtual character is generated in the game editing scene corresponding to the character generation area.

[0048] In some optional embodiments, the player can edit the virtual accessories corresponding to the target scenario information, such as deleting or adding virtual accessories. If the player does not edit the virtual accessories corresponding to the target scenario information, such as Figure 2 As shown, directly click the generation control, and when a virtual character is generated in the game editing scene corresponding to the character generation area, the virtual accessories corresponding to the target scenario information will be equipped to the virtual character. For example, if the target scenario information corresponds to three virtual accessories, when a virtual character is generated in the game editing scene corresponding to the character generation area, the three virtual accessories will be randomly equipped to different virtual characters.

[0049] In some embodiments, the character attributes of the virtual character include virtual accessories; after the step of determining the target scenario information of the character generation area in response to the scenario configuration operation for the character generation area, the above method also includes: displaying a virtual accessory list in response to a trigger operation of an accessory editing control corresponding to the target scenario information; the virtual accessory list includes at least: virtual accessories corresponding to the target scenario information; determining the selected virtual accessories in response to a selection operation on the virtual accessory list; wherein the selected virtual accessories are at least partially different from the virtual accessories corresponding to the target scenario information, and the selected virtual accessories are used to equip the virtual character when generating the virtual character in the game editing scene corresponding to the character generation area.

[0050] For example, Figure 2 As shown, click the "Edit" control on the right side of the regional clothing (corresponding to the above accessory editing control) to display the following Figure 3 The regional clothing window shown (corresponding to the above virtual accessories list) includes virtual accessories corresponding to the target scenario information (such as Figure 3 Waiter costumes, senior guest costumes and initial costumes shown), and also include other costumes provided by the game system (such as Figure 3 The player can click on other costumes provided by the game system to add more costumes to the virtual character, and can also click on the virtual accessories corresponding to the target scenario information to delete the costumes already added to the virtual character. After completing the editing operation on the virtual accessories, click Confirm to confirm the selected virtual accessories.

[0051] Optionally, in response to a sliding operation on the virtual accessories list, the virtual accessories list is controlled to scroll.

[0052] Optionally, the player can edit the virtual accessories corresponding to the target scenario information, such as deleting or adding virtual accessories. Figure 3 Click OK as shown, and then click the Generate control. When a virtual character is generated in the game editing scene corresponding to the character generation area, the selected virtual accessories will be equipped to the virtual character.

[0053] In this method, players can continue to change the possible virtual accessories of the virtual character as needed, on the premise of completing the target scenario information, thereby generating a virtual character with richer character attributes, further enriching the game content and improving the player's gaming experience.

[0054] In some optional embodiments, after responding to a selection operation on a virtual accessory list and determining a selected virtual accessory, the method further includes: responding to an update operation on target scenario information, determining update scenario information corresponding to the update operation, and displaying a first prompt message; the first prompt message is used to remind whether to switch the selected virtual accessory to a virtual accessory corresponding to the update scenario information.

[0055] That is, after the player edits the virtual accessories corresponding to the target scenario information, and the selected virtual accessories are different from the virtual accessories corresponding to the target scenario information, if the player changes the target scenario information to other scenario information (i.e., the above-mentioned updated scenario information), such as changing the banquet mode to the office mode, after the update operation, since the virtual accessories corresponding to the updated scenario information are different from the selected virtual accessories, a first prompt message will be displayed to remind whether to switch the selected virtual accessories to the virtual accessories corresponding to the updated scenario information, that is, to replace the virtual accessories selected by the player with the virtual accessories corresponding to the updated scenario information. If the user clicks Yes, when the virtual character is generated, the virtual accessories equipped by the virtual character are the virtual accessories corresponding to the updated scenario information. If the user clicks No, when the virtual character is generated, the virtual accessories equipped by the virtual character are the virtual accessories selected previously.

[0056] Of course, if the player responds to the update operation of the target scenario information without editing the virtual accessories corresponding to the target scenario information, determines the update scenario information corresponding to the update operation, and directly updates the virtual accessories corresponding to the target scenario information to the virtual accessories corresponding to the update scenario information, no prompt information will be displayed.

[0057] In some embodiments, the character attributes of the virtual character include actions, and the virtual character performs the action at the generation position of the game editing scene and the initial position of the game running scene corresponding to the game editing scene. The target scenario information corresponds to at least one first action; after the step of generating at least one virtual character in the game editing scene corresponding to the character generation area in response to the generation instruction, the method further includes: for each virtual character, determining a target action from the at least one first action, and controlling the virtual character to perform the target action.

[0058] The action set for the virtual character may be determined based on at least one first action corresponding to the target scenario information, may be determined randomly, or may be determined based on the virtual accessories equipped by the virtual character. Optionally, if the player does not edit the virtual accessories corresponding to the target scenario information, each virtual accessory corresponds to at least one first action, and for each virtual character, at least one first action corresponding to the virtual accessories equipped by the virtual character is determined, a target action is randomly determined from the at least one first action corresponding to the virtual accessory, and the virtual character is controlled to execute the target action.

[0059] In some optional embodiments, the character attributes of the above-mentioned virtual character may also include virtual accessories and actions; after the step of generating at least one virtual character in the game editing scene corresponding to the character generation area in response to the generation instruction, the above-mentioned method also includes: for each virtual character, determining the target action of the virtual character according to the virtual accessories equipped by the virtual character, and controlling the virtual character to perform the target action.

[0060] Optionally, if the player edits the virtual accessories corresponding to the target scenario information, and each selected virtual accessory corresponds to at least one second action, for each virtual character, determine at least one second action corresponding to the virtual accessory equipped by the virtual character, determine a target action randomly or in a preset order from the at least one second action corresponding to the virtual accessory, and control the virtual character to perform the target action.

[0061] The above-mentioned virtual accessories correspond to at least one second action; according to the virtual accessories equipped by the virtual character, the step of determining the target action of the virtual character, a possible implementation method is: determining the target action of the virtual character from at least one second action corresponding to the virtual accessories equipped by the virtual character. Optionally, the target action of the virtual character is randomly determined from at least one second action corresponding to the virtual accessories equipped by the virtual character.

[0062] In the above manner, the target action performed by the virtual character can be a first action corresponding to the target scenario information or a second action corresponding to the virtual accessories equipped by the virtual character, which further enriches the interaction of the virtual characters.

[0063] In some optional embodiments, after the step of determining target scenario information of the character generation area in response to the scenario configuration operation for the character generation area, the method further includes: determining the number of virtual characters allowed to be generated in the current character generation area.

[0064] Optionally, the number of virtual characters allowed to be generated in the current character generation area is usually determined based on the resources occupied by the virtual characters and the free resources in the character generation area. For example, if the free resources in the current character generation area are 100 and the resources occupied by the virtual characters are 10, then the number of virtual characters allowed to be generated in the current character generation area is 10.

[0065] For example, Figure 2 As shown, below the "NPC generation area" is displayed "estimated to occupy 400", where "400" refers to the resources that may be occupied by generating 10 virtual characters.

[0066] Optionally, the current number of virtual characters existing in the current character generation area is determined; the difference between the total number of characters pre-configured in the target scenario information and the current number is calculated, and the difference is determined as the number of characters. The player can also change the number of characters generated by the virtual characters, and can generate a suitable number of virtual characters as needed, further improving the personalized needs of the players.

[0067] In some embodiments, the above method also includes: in response to a quantity configuration operation for the number of roles, updating the number of roles; in response to the updated number of roles being greater than the difference between the total number of roles pre-configured in the target scenario information and the current number, displaying a second prompt message; the second prompt message is used to indicate that the number of roles exceeds the total number of roles.

[0068] Usually the game system will determine the number of virtual characters that can be generated in the current character generation area, and display it in the area configuration window, or the number of characters can be displayed randomly, for example, Figure 2 The number of people shown, which also includes the addition of controls (corresponding to Figure 2 "+" in the middle) and decrease controls (corresponding to Figure 2 The player can click the increase control to increase the number of characters of the virtual character, and can also click the decrease control to decrease the number of characters of the virtual character. If the updated number of characters is greater than the difference between the total number of characters pre-configured in the target scenario information and the current number, a prompt message indicating that the number of characters exceeds the total number of characters is displayed.

[0069] That is to say, the maximum number of roles is the difference between the total number of roles pre-configured in the target scenario information and the current number. If you continue to click the add control at this time, the number of displayed roles will not increase.

[0070] In some optional embodiments, the above-mentioned game editing scene includes multiple configuration controls; in response to the scenario configuration operation for the character generation area, the step of determining the target scenario information of the character generation area, a possible implementation method: in response to the trigger operation for the first configuration control, the area configuration window is displayed; the area configuration window includes a scenario setting control; in response to the scenario selection operation for the scenario setting control, the target scenario information of the character generation area is determined, and the target scenario information is displayed in the area configuration window.

[0071] Optionally, the player clicks on the three-dimensional model corresponding to the character generation area to display the area configuration window; or, in the game editing scene, the first configuration control is displayed, and the first configuration control is clicked to display the area configuration window. Figure 2 The NPC spawn area shown, including the scenario controls.

[0072] The above-mentioned area configuration window includes a lock control; the above-mentioned method also includes: responding to a trigger operation on the lock control, controlling the character generation area to be immovable.

[0073] For example, Figure 2 The "Locked" prompt shown in the figure has a lock control on the right. Click the lock control to prevent the character generation area from moving. If the character generation area is not locked, the player can slide the 3D model corresponding to the character generation area to update the position of the character generation area in the game editing scene. If the character generation area is locked, the player slides the 3D model corresponding to the character generation area, but cannot control the movement of the 3D model, and thus cannot update the position of the character generation area in the game editing scene.

[0074] In some optional embodiments, the above-mentioned step of generating at least one virtual character in the game editing scene corresponding to the character generation area, a possible implementation method is: in response to the character generation area not including a model component, determining the generation position of the virtual character in the character generation area according to the number of characters; wherein the generation position is randomly distributed in the character generation area; and the virtual character is generated at the generation position.

[0075] The above model components can be created by the player in the game editing scene, or can be fixed components existing in the game editing scene in the initial state. The above model components can be virtual dining tables, virtual computers, virtual exhibitions, fixed groups of people, etc.

[0076] Optionally, if the game editing scene corresponding to the character generation area does not include a model component, the generation position of the virtual character is randomly determined in the character generation area according to the number of characters; or, the generation position of the virtual character is determined according to the rule of uniform distribution, wherein the number of generation positions is the same as the number of characters. Figure 4 As shown, 8 virtual characters are evenly generated in the character generation area.

[0077] The above-mentioned game editing scene includes at least one model component; the model component is pre-configured with a character attribute list; the step of generating at least one virtual character in the game editing scene corresponding to the character generation area, a possible implementation method: in response to the character generation area including the model component, determining a target model component that matches the character attributes of the virtual character from the model component, and generating at least one virtual character in a designated area of ​​the target model component.

[0078] The character attribute list pre-configured by the above-mentioned model component at least includes virtual accessories; optionally, in response to the model component being included in the character generation area, according to the virtual accessories pre-configured by the model component, a target model component whose virtual accessories are the same as the virtual accessories corresponding to the target scenario information or the selected virtual accessories is determined from the model component. Optionally, at least one virtual character is generated in a designated area of ​​the target model component, and the virtual accessories equipped by the virtual character are the same as the virtual accessories pre-configured by the target model component. The designated area can be the surrounding area of ​​the target model component or a preset point of the target model component.

[0079] For example, if the model components included in the character generation area are a virtual dining table, a virtual exhibition painting, and a virtual computer, the pre-configured character attributes of the virtual dining table include high-end guest clothing and waiter clothing, and the pre-configured character attributes of the virtual exhibition painting include reporter clothing; the character attributes of the virtual character include high-end guest clothing, waiter clothing, and reporter clothing. From the virtual dining table, the virtual exhibition painting, and the virtual computer, the target model components with the same character attributes as the virtual character are determined: the virtual dining table and the virtual exhibition painting, and finally a virtual character equipped with high-end guest clothing and a virtual character equipped with waiter clothing are generated in the designated area of ​​the virtual dining table, and a virtual character equipped with reporter clothing is generated in the designated area of ​​the virtual exhibition painting.

[0080] For example, Figure 5 As shown, multiple virtual characters are generated in the designated area of ​​the target virtual component.

[0081] In some optional embodiments, the above-mentioned game editing scene includes at least one preset point with position parameters, and the position parameters include at least character orientation and a third action; after the step of generating at least one virtual character in the game editing scene corresponding to the character generation area in response to the generation instruction, the above-mentioned method also includes: if the position of the generated virtual character is located at the preset point, controlling the virtual character to perform game behavior according to the character orientation and the third action.

[0082] Optionally, the above-mentioned preset points are usually preset points of the model components, and different model components may be pre-configured with preset points with different position parameters. Optionally, the position parameters at least include the character orientation and at least one third action.

[0083] Optionally, if the position where the virtual character is generated is located at a preset point, the preset point includes a plurality of third actions, and the virtual character is controlled to randomly perform one of the third actions according to the character orientation.

[0084] Optionally, the third action included in the position parameters may be a third action corresponding to a virtual accessory included in the position parameters. If the position parameters include multiple virtual accessories, when the position of the generated virtual character is located at a preset point, the third action corresponding to the virtual accessory is first determined from the position parameters based on the virtual accessory equipped by the virtual character, and then the virtual character is controlled to randomly perform one of the third actions corresponding to the virtual accessory according to the character's orientation.

[0085] A possible implementation of the above step of generating at least one virtual character in the game editing scene corresponding to the character generation area is as follows: randomly selecting a target gender from preset candidate genders, and generating a virtual character of the preset target gender in the game scene corresponding to the character generation area.

[0086] The preset candidate genders may be male and female, or only male and female. Optionally, a first gender is randomly selected from the preset candidate genders, and a virtual character of the first gender is generated in the game scene corresponding to the character generation area; optionally, a second gender is randomly selected from the preset candidate genders, and a virtual character of the second gender is generated in the game scene corresponding to the character generation area; optionally, a first gender and a second gender are randomly selected from the preset candidate genders, and a virtual character of the first gender and a virtual character of the second gender are generated in the game scene corresponding to the character generation area; wherein the number of characters of the virtual characters of the first gender is the first number and the number of characters of the virtual characters of the second gender is the second number, and the sum of the first number and the second number is the number of characters of the virtual characters. The first number and the second number may be the same or different.

[0087] In some optional embodiments, the game editing scene includes multiple component controls; in response to an instruction to create a character generation area, a step of creating a character generation area in the game editing scene, a possible implementation method: in response to a preset operation for a first component control, a three-dimensional model corresponding to the first component control is placed in the game editing scene; wherein the area surrounded by the three-dimensional model is a candidate character generation area; determining whether there is a movable area in the candidate character generation area; if so, creating a character generation area in the movable area in the game editing scene.

[0088] The first component control may be a 3D model thumbnail of various shapes, such as Figure 6 The NPC generation area 1 shown will of course also include the NPC generation area 2, etc. The above movable area usually refers to the empty area not occupied by model components or virtual building models, etc., and the size of the empty area is larger than the size of the area occupied by the virtual character.

[0089] Optionally, in response to a drag operation on the first component control, the three-dimensional model corresponding to the first component control is dragged into the game editing scene; the area surrounded by the three-dimensional model is determined as the candidate character generation area; if there is a movable area in the candidate character generation area, the character generation area is created in the movable area in the game editing scene, and if there is no movable area in the candidate character generation area, the character generation area cannot be created.

[0090] It should be noted that the above movable area is only used to determine whether a character generation area can be created, and does not limit the movement range of the generated virtual character. For example, if the candidate character generation area includes multiple movable areas (the multiple movable areas may be connected or not), the character generation area can be created in the movable area in the game editing scene, and the generated virtual character is located in the movable area. When the game is running, the virtual character can move in areas other than the movable area.

[0091] In some optional embodiments, the game editing scene includes at least one model component, and the at least one virtual character includes a first character and a second character; the method further includes: in response to the character generation area not including the model component, controlling the generation of a first number of first characters and a second number of second characters, the first character is not movable in the game editing scene, and the second character is movable in the game editing scene.

[0092] That is, the virtual characters generated in the game editing scene corresponding to the character generation area include movable virtual characters and immovable virtual characters. Specifically, the number of characters of the first character (i.e., the first number) and the number of characters of the second character (i.e., the second number) can be randomly assigned or assigned according to a preset condition (e.g., the first number is equal to the second number). The sum of the first number and the second number is the number of characters of the virtual characters.

[0093] Specifically, during the game running stage, the first character is fixed in the game running scene, and the second character can move in the game running scene, and can move randomly or according to a preset route.

[0094] The above-mentioned game editing scene includes at least one preset point with position parameters; the position parameters at least include the position of the preset point; the above-mentioned method also includes: determining a first preset point matching the character attributes of the virtual character according to the position parameters of the preset point; the movement route of the virtual character includes at least part of the first preset point.

[0095] In order to facilitate players to configure the movement route for each virtual character, after the virtual character is generated, the configurable path points of the virtual character will also be determined, and the configurable path points may include the above-mentioned first preset point.

[0096] Optionally, based on the virtual accessories included in the position parameters of the preset point, a first preset point identical to the virtual accessories equipped by the virtual character is determined, and the player can subsequently configure a movement route for the virtual character from the first preset point.

[0097] Optionally, for each virtual character, a first preset point identical to the virtual accessories equipped by the virtual character is determined based on the virtual accessories included in the position parameters of the preset point, and the subsequent player can configure a movement route for the virtual character from the first preset point.

[0098] The first preset point may also be a preset point that is not blocked by any blocking object.

[0099] The above method also includes: determining the free preset points in the first preset points; if the number of free preset points is less than a preset threshold, controlling the virtual character to move randomly in the game editing scene, the free preset points being the preset points in the first preset points that are not occupied by other virtual characters.

[0100] The preset threshold can be set as needed, such as 3 or 2. The preset points occupied by other virtual characters can be preset points occupied by the virtual character generation position, or preset points occupied by the mobile route configured by the virtual character. If the number of free preset points is less than the preset threshold, it means that the virtual character cannot configure the mobile route. At this time, the virtual character will be defaulted to move randomly in the game editing scene, specifically in the game running scene corresponding to the game editing scene. In this way, the free preset points not occupied by other virtual characters are determined to facilitate subsequent players to configure the mobile route for each virtual character.

[0101] Optionally, after generating the virtual character, the method includes: responding to an update operation on the character attributes of the virtual character, updating the character attributes of the virtual character; specifically, the generation position, virtual accessories, interactive actions, movement routes, etc. of the virtual character may be updated.

[0102] The method further includes: saving the game editing scene in response to the save instruction. After saving the game editing scene, the player can also run the game editing scene. In the game running scene stage, the at least one virtual character is displayed in the game scene, and the initial position of the virtual character is the character generation area.
