[0034] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, example embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided to make this disclosure more comprehensive and complete, and to fully convey the concept of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to give a full understanding of embodiments of this disclosure. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that the technical solutions of this disclosure can be practiced with one or more of the specific details omitted, or other methods, components, apparatus, steps, etc., can be employed. In other instances, well-known technical solutions are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring various aspects of this disclosure.

[0035] Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative of this disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and therefore repeated descriptions of them will be omitted. Some block diagrams shown in the drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities. These functional entities may be implemented in software, in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different network and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0036] Figure 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of the system architecture of an exemplary application environment in which an embodiment of the skill control method and apparatus of the present disclosure can be applied.

[0037] As shown in Figure 1, the system architecture 100 may include multiple terminal devices 101, 102, and 103, a network 104, and a server 105. The network 104 serves as a medium for providing communication links between the terminal devices 101, 102, and 103 and the server 105. The network 104 may include various connection types, such as wireless communication links.

[0038] It should be understood that the number of terminal devices, networks, and servers in Figure 1 is merely illustrative. Depending on implementation needs, any number of terminal devices, networks, and servers can be used. For example, server 105 could be a server cluster composed of multiple servers.

[0039] Terminal devices 101, 102, and 103 can be various electronic devices with processors, including but not limited to smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc. Server 105 can be a server providing various services. For example, when a game character is in the skill release state of a target skill, terminal devices 101, 102, and 103 can control and adjust the release direction of the target skill in response to aiming commands via the processor. Server 105 can determine the target game object from the game scene based on the release direction, and then control the perspective display of the internal structure of the target game object and / or the perspective display of the game scene obscured by the target game object via terminal devices 101, 102, and 103. Terminal devices 101, 102, and 103 can also use the processor to complete the process from controlling and adjusting the release direction of the target skill to controlling the perspective display of the internal structure of the target game object and / or the perspective display of the game scene obscured by the target game object.

[0040] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the skill control method can run on a local terminal device or a server. When the skill control method runs on a server, it can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interaction system, which includes a server and client devices.

[0041] In an optional implementation, various cloud applications, such as cloud gaming, can run under the cloud interaction system. Taking cloud gaming as an example, cloud gaming refers to a gaming method based on cloud computing. In the cloud gaming operating mode, the game program and the game screen presentation are separated. The storage and execution of skill control methods are completed on the cloud gaming server. The client device is used for data reception, transmission, and game screen presentation. For example, the client device can be a display device with data transmission capabilities located close to the user, such as a mobile terminal, television, computer, or PDA; however, the information processing is performed by the cloud gaming server in the cloud. When playing the game, the player operates the client device to send operation commands to the cloud gaming server. The cloud gaming server runs the game according to the operation commands, encodes and compresses the game screen and other data, returns it to the client device via the network, and finally, the client device decodes and outputs the game screen.

[0042] In an optional implementation, taking a game as an example, the local terminal device stores the game program and is used to display the game screen. The local terminal device is used to interact with the player through a graphical user interface (GUI), i.e., conventionally by downloading, installing, and running the game program via an electronic device. The local terminal device can provide the GUI to the player in various ways, such as rendering it on the terminal's display screen or providing it to the player via holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device can include a display screen for displaying the GUI, which includes game screens, and a processor for running the game, generating the GUI, and controlling the display of the GUI on the display screen.

[0043] In one possible implementation, this disclosure provides a skill control method that provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device, wherein the terminal device may be the aforementioned local terminal device or a client device in the aforementioned cloud interaction system.

[0044] This example implementation first provides a skill control method, which provides a graphical user interface (GUI) through a terminal device, the GUI including at least a portion of the game scene. Referring to Figure 2, the skill control method described above may include the following steps:

[0045] Step S210. When the game character is in the skill release state of the target skill, in response to the aiming command, control and adjust the release direction of the target skill.

[0046] Step S220. Determine the target game object from the game scene based on the release direction.

[0047] Step S230. Control the perspective display to show the internal structure of the target game object and / or the perspective display to show the game scene occluded by the target game object.

[0048] In the skill control method of this exemplary embodiment, the release direction of the target skill is obtained, and the target game object is determined from the game scene based on the release direction. Then, the internal structure of the target game object and / or the game scene obscured by the target game object is displayed through perspective. This skill control method, by providing a spatial scanning function to display the internal structure of the target game object and the obscured portion of the game scene through perspective, can assist players in accurately releasing skills outside their line of sight when facing complex scene spaces. It allows for precise aiming and striking of targets behind obstacles, improving user operational efficiency. It also helps players with weak spatial awareness or novice players release skills with higher returns and lower barriers to entry, thereby obtaining more positive feedback in combat and enhancing the gaming experience.

[0049] The steps described above in this exemplary embodiment will now be explained in more detail with reference to Figures 3 to 11.

[0050] In step S210, when the game character is in the skill release state of the target skill, the release direction of the target skill is controlled and adjusted in response to the aiming command.

[0051] In this example implementation, a target skill refers to a skill that can pass through or over obstacles and attack a target object behind the obstacles, such as a skill that can strike an enemy through a wall or by throwing it from a high point, ignoring spatial obstacles.

[0052] For the aforementioned types of target skills, this example implementation provides a spatial perspective solution. When the game character is in the skill release state of the target skill, this auxiliary function can be activated to help the user aim and release the skill even when there are obstacles obstructing the view. The skill release state of the target skill refers to the aiming state before releasing the target skill. At this time, the skill release trajectory of the target skill can be obtained based on the aiming direction and position.

[0053] In an optional implementation, the above-mentioned perspective scheme can be turned on or off by the user through manual settings.

[0054] In an alternative implementation, during the skill release process, the perspective scheme can be turned on or off by detecting whether there are obstacles in the release direction.

[0055] Figure 3 schematically illustrates a skill release trajectory according to a specific embodiment of the present disclosure. The skill release trajectory of the target skill refers to the line connecting the starting point of the skill to the landing point. Obstacles may exist on the skill release trajectory of the target skill.

[0056] In step S220, the target game object is determined from the game scene according to the release direction.

[0057] In this example implementation, a game object refers to an object existing in the game scene, such as a building or other obstacle, including buildings, containers, etc. A target game object is a game object in the game scene that interacts with the target skill in the direction of its release, such as a game object intersecting the skill's trajectory. If multiple connected game objects exist, such as multiple connected containers, these multiple connected game objects are considered as a single game object; if it is the target game object, its overall perspective structure is displayed.

[0058] In this example implementation, the release indicator of the target skill can be controlled and displayed. The release indicator is used to indicate the release direction of the target skill. The release direction of the target skill can be the trajectory of the target skill, which can include straight lines, arcs, parabolas, cycloids, etc. The release indicator can be a trajectory marker, or it can be other types of markers, such as the red dot of an infrared laser aiming device, etc. This example implementation does not impose any specific limitations.

[0059] In this example implementation, the first game object in the game scene can be identified as the target game object in response to the intersection of the first game object with the release indicator. If the skill release trajectory overlaps with multiple game objects, the first game object is the one that first intersects with the release indicator.

[0060] Any game object touched by the line connecting the starting point to the landing point of the target skill is considered the target game object. If there are multiple game objects intersecting with the skill trajectory, the first point of contact is used, and the game object that first comes into contact with the skill release trajectory is taken as the target game object corresponding to the target skill.

[0061] Figure 4 schematically illustrates a diagram of enabling the spatial object scanning function according to a specific embodiment of the present disclosure. After enabling the spatial scanning assistance function in the game, when the player enters the skill release state, aims at the target position of the skill release, and then based on the trigger operation of the spatial scanning assistance function, for example, after holding still for 1.5 seconds, the spatial scanning assistance function is triggered to start scanning the target game object 401. During the scanning process, the corresponding spatial scanning progress bar can be displayed on the graphical user interface.

[0062] In step S230, the perspective display shows the internal structure of the target game object and / or the perspective display shows the game scene occluded by the target game object.

[0063] In this example implementation, after the target game object is scanned, its 3D perspective structure can be displayed. The perspective view can be controlled to display the internal structure of the target game object and / or the game scene obscured by the target game object. Special display effects, such as planar highlighting, can also be used to display the area of ​​effect of the target skill within the internal structure of the target game object, or within the game scene obscured by the target game object. The area of ​​effect of the target skill refers to the region where the skill takes effect after it is released.

[0064] In this example implementation, a first action surface within the internal structure of the target game object can be determined based on the release direction, and the surface opposite to the first action surface is designated as the second action surface. The area of ​​effect of the target skill is displayed on the second action surface. The first action surface refers to the surface of the target game object that first comes into contact with the skill release trajectory, and the second action surface is the opposite surface to the first action surface. The target skill will pass through the first action surface and act on the second action surface.

[0065] Figure 5 schematically illustrates a three-dimensional perspective structure of a target game object according to a specific embodiment of the present disclosure. The target skill passes through the front layer of the container and acts on the back layer of the container, so the area of ​​effect of the target skill is the back layer of the container.

[0066] In this example implementation, obstacles may have various structural types. For example, containers are generally regular cuboids, while obstacles like rocks are elliptical or irregular shapes. For obstacles other than cuboids, a cuboid-shaped enclosure can be provided, and the effective surface of the skill can be determined in the same way described above.

[0067] In this example implementation, the effect of the skill can be evaluated and displayed to the player in the form of a heatmap as shown in Figure 6. The player can also be prompted on the interface. For example, the darker the color, the stronger the damage caused by the skill, or different colors can be used to distinguish different damage effects.

[0068] In this example implementation, if an enemy game character exists within the occlusion range of the target game object, the enemy game character is displayed using a first perspective effect. Figure 7 schematically illustrates a diagram of skill damage data according to a specific embodiment of this disclosure. If there is an enemy game character behind the target game object, its location can be indicated on the interface, for example, a blurry indication of the enemy game character can be given to prompt the player.

[0069] When an enemy character is within the occlusion range of the target game object, the skill damage data of the target skill against the enemy game character can also be displayed on the graphical user interface, as shown in Figure 8. Specifically, it can include the following steps:

[0070] Step S810. Determine the skill damage data of the target skill against the enemy game character based on the target skill's area of ​​effect and the enemy game character's location.

[0071] Skill damage data may include skill effectiveness rate and / or expected damage value, where skill effectiveness rate refers to the probability that the target skill will effectively hit the enemy game character, and expected damage value is the actual damage value that the target skill is expected to deal to the enemy game character.

[0072] In this example implementation, the effective strike area of ​​the target skill can be determined based on the area of ​​effect of the target skill, and the skill effectiveness of the target skill against the enemy game character can be determined based on the positional relationship between the enemy game character's location and the effective strike area; based on the maximum damage value of the target skill and the skill effectiveness, the expected damage value of the target skill against the enemy game character can be obtained.

[0073] Skill effectiveness is determined by the positional relationship between the enemy character's location and the effective hit area. The expected damage is calculated as the product of the target skill's maximum damage and the skill effectiveness. If the skill's maximum damage is 150, and only half of the effective hit area can affect the enemy, then the skill effectiveness is 50%, and the expected damage is 150 * 50% = 75.

[0074] In this example implementation, the effectiveness of the target skill against the enemy game character can be determined based on the distance between the enemy game character's location and the center of the target skill's area of ​​effect; and the expected damage value of the target skill against the enemy game character can be obtained based on the target skill's maximum damage value and effectiveness value.

[0075] Skill effectiveness can also be calculated based on the distance between the skill's effective area and the center of the target skill's area of ​​effect; the greater the distance, the lower the skill effectiveness.

[0076] Step S820. When the skill damage data meets the first condition, display the skill damage data of the target skill against the enemy game character on the graphical user interface.

[0077] The first condition is the display condition of skill damage data. After calculating the skill effectiveness and expected damage value of the target skill against the enemy game character, or after the skill damage data reaches a certain threshold, such as when the skill damage data is greater than 0, it can be displayed in a suitable position on the graphical user interface, such as around the enemy game character.

[0078] In this example implementation, when there is a deviation in the aiming direction when the game character releases a skill, the skill release direction of the target skill can be intelligently adjusted. As shown in Figure 9, the method for adjusting the target skill direction can specifically include the following steps:

[0079] Step S910. If the skill effectiveness of the target skill against the enemy game character is less than or equal to the skill effectiveness threshold, then display the skill adjustment control for the target skill on the graphical user interface.

[0080] If the skill effectiveness rate of the target skill is less than or equal to a certain threshold, such as less than 10%, or the skill effectiveness rate is 0, a skill adjustment control can be provided on the graphical user interface. Users can automatically adjust the direction of skill release by clicking the skill adjustment control.

[0081] Figure 10 schematically illustrates a skill adjustment control according to a specific embodiment of the present disclosure. If, after a spatial scan, a message is displayed indicating that there is an enemy nearby and the skill in the current direction is invalid, a smart adjustment control 1001 pops up.

[0082] Step S920. Respond to the skill adjustment operation applied to the skill adjustment control, adjust the release direction of the target skill so that the skill effectiveness against the enemy game character reaches the preset skill effectiveness.

[0083] After the user clicks the skill adjustment control, the skill release direction can be intelligently adjusted to the effective release position. Under the influence of enemy and friendly positions, space and other relationships, the skill effectiveness under the current conditions will be automatically calibrated to a preset value, such as adjusting to a position with a skill effectiveness of 50%, or directly adjusting to a position with the maximum skill effectiveness.

[0084] Figure 11 schematically illustrates the result of skill release direction adjustment according to a specific embodiment of the present disclosure. After adjustment, the skill effectiveness rate changes from 0 to 40%, and the expected damage value also changes from 0 to 80. Users can continue to make adjustments based on this, or they can directly release the target skill, which improves the user's operational efficiency.

[0085] Finally, in response to the skill release command, the game client controls the target skill to pass through the target game object and take effect inside the target game object and / or in the game scene that is obscured by the target game object.

[0086] After the player adjusts the release direction and position of the target skill, they can release the skill to make it pass through obstacles and act inside the obstacle or in the game scene behind the obstacle. This maximizes the effect of the target skill, allowing for precise aiming and attack on targets hidden behind obstacles.

[0087] It should be noted that although the steps of the method in this disclosure are described in a specific order in the accompanying drawings, this does not require or imply that the steps must be performed in that specific order, or that all the steps shown must be performed to achieve the desired result. Additional or alternative steps may be omitted, multiple steps may be combined into one step, and / or a step may be broken down into multiple steps.

[0088] Furthermore, this disclosure also provides a skill control device that provides a graphical user interface via a terminal device, the graphical user interface including at least a portion of the game scene.
