Description

Technical Field

[0001] Embodiments of the present application relate to the field of computer technologies, and particularly to a game control method, apparatus, device, and computer-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of computer technologies, there are more and more types of games running on terminal devices. There are various ways for virtual objects in games to move in a virtual environment, and the silent walking mode is one of them.

[0003] In related technologies, a game screen is displayed, the game screen includes a direction control, and the direction control is used to control the movement of a virtual object in a virtual environment; in response to a target gesture operation on the direction control, an operation distance corresponding to the target gesture operation is determined; based on the operation distance being less than a silent walking range threshold, the virtual environment is controlled to generate a slight shake, so that a player can determine that the movement mode of the virtual object in the virtual environment is the silent walking mode; based on the operation distance being not less than the silent walking range threshold, the virtual environment is controlled to generate a large shake, so that the player can determine that the movement mode of the virtual object in the virtual environment is not the silent walking mode.

[0004] However, a player can only perceive the movement mode of a virtual object in a virtual environment according to the shake degree of the virtual environment, so that the accuracy of the determined movement mode of the virtual object is relatively low. Moreover, for games such as precise aiming and short-time shooting, the shake of the virtual environment will affect the shooting accuracy of the player. Therefore, in order to ensure the shooting accuracy of the player, the virtual environment will not shake as the virtual object moves in such games, which makes the player unable to perceive the movement mode of the virtual object in the virtual environment. Since the player needs to control the virtual object according to the movement mode of the virtual object, the control effect of the player on the virtual object is relatively poor.

[0052] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the following will further describe the embodiments of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0053] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in this application are used to distinguish similar objects and do not necessarily describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such terms can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0054] First, the abbreviations and key terms related to the embodiments of the present application are defined.

[0055] Computer Vision Technology (CV) is a science that studies how to enable machines to "see". Further, it refers to using cameras and computers to replace human eyes for object recognition, measurement, and other machine vision, and further performing graphic processing to make the computer-processed images more suitable for human eyes to observe or be transmitted to instruments for detection. As a scientific discipline, computer vision studies related theories and technologies and attempts to establish artificial intelligence systems that can obtain information from images or multi-dimensional data. Large model technology has brought important changes to the development of computer vision technology. Pretrained models in the field of vision such as swin-transformer (a model for image classification and object detection), ViT (a model for image classification), V-MOE (Vision MoE, a new vision architecture based on sparse mixture of experts), and MAE (Masked Autoencoders, a self-supervised learning method) can be quickly and widely applied to downstream specific tasks after fine-tuning. Computer vision technology usually includes image processing, image recognition, image semantic understanding, image retrieval, OCR, video processing, video semantic understanding, video content / behavior recognition, three-dimensional object reconstruction, 3D technology, virtual reality, augmented reality, simultaneous localization and mapping, etc. technologies, and also includes common biometric recognition technologies such as face recognition and fingerprint recognition.

[0056] Stealth walking mode: Refers to in a game, the virtual object moves slowly and does not make a sound.

[0057] Fixed direction control: The UI (User Interface) of the direction control is fixed at the default position and does not change with the position of the hand. In which direction the hand is located relative to the direction control, the virtual object will move in that direction.

[0058] Follow direction control: Taking the position where the finger presses down as the center of the direction control, the virtual object will move in the direction where the finger slides, but the UI of the direction control is still displayed at the default position, only showing the moving direction of the virtual object.

[0059] Virtual environment: It refers to the environment provided (or displayed) when the application runs on the terminal device. This virtual environment is an environment created for virtual objects to move in. The virtual environment can be a two-dimensional virtual environment, a 2.5D virtual environment, or a three-dimensional virtual environment, etc. The virtual environment can be a simulation environment of the real world, a semi-simulation environment of the real world, or a purely fictional environment. Exemplarily, the virtual environment involved in the embodiments of the present application is a three-dimensional virtual environment.

[0060] Virtual object: It refers to an activatable object in the virtual environment. This activatable object can be a virtual character, a virtual animal, an anime character, etc. Players can control the virtual object through peripheral components or by clicking on the touch display screen. Each virtual object has its own shape and volume in the virtual environment and occupies a part of the space in the virtual environment. Exemplarily, when the virtual environment is a three-dimensional virtual environment, the virtual object is a three-dimensional solid model created based on the animation skeleton technology.

[0061] Third-person perspective: It refers to the position where the in-game camera is at a certain distance behind the virtual object controlled by the player, and it is the perspective from which all elements within a certain environment around the virtual object controlled by the player can be seen in the virtual environment.

[0062] First-person perspective: The game is played from the subjective perspective of the player.

[0063] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the implementation environment of a game control method provided by the embodiments of the present application. As Figure 1 shown, this implementation environment includes: a terminal device 101 and a server 102.

[0064] Among them, a game client capable of providing a virtual environment is installed and running in the terminal device 101, and the terminal device 101 is used to execute the game control method provided by the embodiments of the present application.

[0065] Exemplarily, the game client capable of providing a virtual environment can be a third-person shooting (TPS) game, a first-person shooting (FPS) game, a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game, a multiplayer shooting survival game, a massive multiplayer online role-playing game (MMO), an action role-playing game (ARPG), a virtual reality (VR) client, an augmented reality (AR) client, a three-dimensional map program, a map simulation program, a social client, an interactive entertainment client, etc.

[0066] The server 102 is used to provide background services for the game client installed on the terminal device 101 that can provide a virtual environment. In a possible implementation, the server 102 undertakes the main computing work, and the terminal device 101 undertakes the secondary computing work. Or, the server 102 undertakes the secondary computing work, and the terminal device 101 undertakes the main computing work. Or, a distributed computing architecture is adopted between the terminal device 101 and the server 102 for collaborative computing.

[0067] Optionally, the terminal device 101 can be any electronic device product that can perform human-computer interaction with the user through one or more methods such as a keyboard, a touchpad, a remote control, voice interaction, or a handwriting device. For example, the terminal device 101 can be a smart phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a desktop computer, a smart speaker, a smart watch, a PC (Personal Computer), a mobile phone, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a wearable device, a PPC (Pocket PC), a smart vehicle console, a smart TV, etc.

[0068] The terminal device 101 can generally refer to one of multiple terminal devices. This embodiment only uses the terminal device 101 as an example for illustration. Those skilled in the art can know that the number of the above terminal devices 101 can be more or less. For example, the above terminal device 101 can be only one, or the above terminal device 101 can be dozens or hundreds, or a larger number. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the number and device type of the terminal device 101.

[0069] The server 102 is a single server, or a server cluster composed of multiple servers, or any one of a cloud computing platform and a virtualization center. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this. The server 102 is directly or indirectly communicatively connected to the terminal device 101 through a wired or wireless communication method. The server 102 has a data receiving function, a data processing function, and a data sending function. Of course, the server 102 may also have other functions, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0070] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above terminal device 101 and server 102 are only for illustrative purposes. Other existing or future terminal devices or servers, such as those applicable to the present application, should also be included in the protection scope of the present application and are hereby incorporated herein by reference.

[0071] Embodiments of the present application provide a game control method, which can be applied to the above Figure 1 shown implementation environment. Taking Figure 2 the flowchart of a game control method provided by an embodiment of the present application shown as an example, this method can be executed by the Figure 1 terminal device 101 in. As Figure 2 shown, this method includes the following steps 201 to step 202.

[0072] In step 201, a game screen is displayed. The game screen includes a direction control, and the direction control is used to control the movement of a virtual object in a virtual environment. The display mode of the direction control is a first display mode, and the first display mode is used to indicate that the movement mode of the virtual object in the virtual environment is a non-stealth mode.

[0073] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, a game client capable of providing a virtual environment is installed and run in the terminal device. The game client can be any type of game client, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. The game client can refer to a client that needs to be downloaded and installed, or an embedded program that depends on a host program to run, including but not limited to applets. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the type of the game client. Based on the game client being an embedded program, an embedded program is an application program developed based on a programming language and dependent on a host program to run. The embedded program does not need to be downloaded and installed, and only needs to be dynamically loaded in the host program to run. Users can find the required embedded program by searching, scanning, etc., and can run it after clicking. After use and closing, it will not occupy the memory of the terminal device, which is very convenient. The game client can be a first-person perspective game client or a third-person perspective game client. The game client can be a game client based on frame synchronization. That is to say, the game control method provided by the embodiments of the present application can be applied to a game client based on frame synchronization.

[0074] In a possible implementation, relevant information of the game client is displayed on the display interface of the terminal device. The relevant information of the game client may be an icon of the game client, a name of the game client, or other information of the game client. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the relevant information of the game client.

[0075] When a user wants to run the game client, the user selects the relevant information of the game client. The terminal device receives a trigger operation for the relevant information of the game client, runs the game client, and displays the home page of the game client. A start control is displayed on the home page of the game client, and the start control is used to start a game session. In response to a trigger operation for the start control, a game session is started, and a game screen is displayed. The game screen includes a direction control, and the direction control is used to control the movement of a virtual object in a virtual environment. The display mode of the direction control is a first display mode. The first display mode is used to indicate that the movement mode of the virtual object in the virtual environment is a non-stealth mode. Exemplarily, the first display mode is used to indicate that the virtual object is not moving in the virtual environment, that is, the first display mode is used to indicate that the virtual object is in a stationary state in the virtual environment. Alternatively, the first display mode is used to indicate that the movement mode of the virtual object in the virtual environment is a running mode.

[0076] Optionally, that the display mode of the direction control is the first display mode means that the direction control is displayed in gray. Of course, that the display mode of the direction control is the first display mode may also mean that the direction control is displayed in other colors. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0077] Among them, the user's selection of the relevant information of the game client may be that the user clicks on the relevant information of the game client, that the user double-clicks on the relevant information of the game client, that the user selects the relevant information of the game client by voice, or that the user selects the relevant information of the game client by other means. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this. The process of the trigger operation for the start control is similar to the process of the user's selection of the relevant information of the game client, and the embodiments of the present application will not elaborate on this here.

[0078] As Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the display of a game screen provided by the embodiments of the present application. In Figure 3 the shown game screen, a direction control 301 is displayed, and the direction control 301 is displayed in gray.

[0079] Optionally, a virtual object located in the virtual environment can also be displayed in the game screen, and the virtual object holds a virtual item. A launch control can also be displayed in the game screen, and the launch control is used to launch the virtual resource corresponding to the virtual item. For example, the virtual item is a virtual throwable object, and the virtual resource corresponding to the virtual throwable object is a virtual bullet. In response to a trigger operation on the launch control, control the virtual throwable object to launch the virtual bullet.

[0080] In step 202, in response to a target gesture operation on the direction control, display the direction control in the display manner after adjustment by the direction control. The operation distance corresponding to the target gesture operation is not greater than the sneak threshold. The display manner after adjustment by the direction control is determined based on the operation distance, and the display manner after adjustment by the direction control is used to indicate that the movement manner of the virtual object in the virtual environment is the sneak manner.

[0081] In a possible implementation manner, the types of the direction controls are different, the target gesture operations on the direction controls are different, and the methods for determining the operation distances corresponding to the target gesture operations are also different. The following two cases are based on different types of the direction controls, and in response to the target gesture operations on the direction controls, determine the operation distances corresponding to the target gesture operations.

[0082] Case 1: The type of the direction control is a fixed direction control, and the target gesture operation on the direction control is a trigger operation on the direction control. In response to the trigger operation on the direction control, determine the distance between the position corresponding to the trigger operation and the center of the direction control; use the distance between the position corresponding to the trigger operation and the center of the direction control as the operation distance.

[0083] Among them, the trigger operation on the direction control can refer to a click operation on the direction control, or a long-press operation on the direction control, or other operations on the direction control. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0084] Optionally, before determining the distance between the position corresponding to the trigger operation and the center of the direction control in response to the trigger operation on the direction control, it is necessary to first determine the position information of the position corresponding to the trigger operation and the position information of the center of the direction control. Among them, the process of determining the position information of the position corresponding to the trigger operation includes: in response to the trigger operation on the direction control, use the position information of the position of the trigger operation in the display interface of the terminal device as the position information of the position corresponding to the trigger operation.

[0085] The process of determining the position information of the center of the direction control includes: the position information of the center of the direction control is stored in the server, and in response to the trigger operation on the direction control, obtain the position information of the center of the direction control through interaction with the server.

[0086] Optionally, in response to a triggering operation on the direction control, a location information acquisition request is generated, which is used to acquire the location information of the center of the direction control. The location information acquisition request is sent to the server. The server receives the location information acquisition request and sends the location information of the center of the direction control to the terminal device, so that the terminal device can acquire the location information of the center of the direction control.

[0087] The location information of the center of the direction control can be two-dimensional location information or three-dimensional location information, and the location information of the location corresponding to the triggering operation can be two-dimensional location information or three-dimensional location information. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this. It should be noted that the dimensions of the location information of the center of the direction control and the location information of the location corresponding to the triggering operation are the same.

[0088] After acquiring the location information of the center of the direction control and the location information of the location corresponding to the triggering operation, the distance between the location corresponding to the triggering operation and the center of the direction control is determined according to the location information of the center of the direction control and the location information of the location corresponding to the triggering operation. Optionally, the Euclidean distance between the location information of the center of the direction control and the location information of the location corresponding to the triggering operation is used as the distance between the location corresponding to the triggering operation and the center of the direction control.

[0089] Exemplarily, if the location information of the center of the direction control is (X1, Y1, Z1) and the location information of the location corresponding to the triggering operation is (X2, Y2, Z2), then the distance between the location corresponding to the triggering operation and the center of the direction control is determined as

[0090] In a possible implementation manner, the distance between the location corresponding to the triggering operation and the center of the direction control can also be determined in the following way. This way includes: a distance determination module is included in the terminal device, and in response to a triggering operation on the direction control, the distance determination module is called to determine the distance between the location corresponding to the triggering operation and the center of the direction control.

[0091] Such as Figure 4 is another schematic diagram of the display of the game screen provided by the embodiments of the present application. In Figure 4 In the shown game screen, 401 is the location corresponding to the triggering operation, 402 is the center of the direction control, and 403 is the distance between the location corresponding to the triggering operation and the center of the direction control.

[0092] It should be noted that the distance between the location corresponding to the triggering operation and the center of the direction control can also be determined by other means, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0093] Case 2: The type of the direction control is a follow - up direction control, and the target gesture operation for the direction control is a continuous gesture operation of swiping after triggering the direction control. In response to the continuous gesture operation of swiping after triggering the direction control, determine the distance between the position corresponding to the triggering operation and the end position of the swiping operation; use the distance between the position corresponding to the triggering operation and the end position of the swiping operation as the operation distance.

[0094] Among them, the triggering operation for the direction control can be a click operation on the direction control, a long - press operation on the direction control, or other operations on the direction control. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0095] Optionally, before determining the distance between the position corresponding to the triggering operation and the end position of the swiping operation in response to the continuous gesture operation of swiping after triggering the direction control, it is necessary to first obtain the position information of the position corresponding to the triggering operation and the position information of the end position of the swiping operation. The process of obtaining the position information of the position corresponding to the triggering operation and the process of obtaining the position information of the end position of the swiping operation are both similar to the process of obtaining the position information of the position corresponding to the triggering operation in Case 1 above. The embodiments of the present application will not elaborate here.

[0096] The process of determining the distance between the position corresponding to the triggering operation and the end position of the swiping operation according to the position information of the position corresponding to the triggering operation and the position information of the end position of the swiping operation is similar to the process of determining the distance between the position corresponding to the triggering operation and the center of the direction control according to the position information of the position corresponding to the triggering operation and the position information of the center of the direction control in Case 1 above. The embodiments of the present application will not elaborate here either.

[0097] Optionally, in response to the continuous gesture operation of swiping after triggering the direction control, it is also possible to call a distance determination module to determine the distance between the position corresponding to the triggering operation and the center of the direction control.

[0098] Such as Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the display of another game screen provided by the embodiments of the present application. In Figure 5 the shown game screen, 501 is the position corresponding to the triggering operation, 502 is the end position of the swiping operation, and 503 is the distance between the position corresponding to the triggering operation and the end position of the swiping operation.

[0099] Based on the operation distance not being greater than the static - step range threshold, determine the display mode of the direction control after adjustment according to the operation distance, and display the direction control according to the display mode of the direction control after adjustment. The display position of the direction control after adjustment is used to indicate that the movement mode of the virtual object in the virtual environment is the static - step mode.

[0100] Among them, the still step range threshold is set based on experience or adjusted according to the implementation environment, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. Exemplarily, the still step range threshold is 30 pixels (pixel, px).

[0101] In a possible implementation manner, after determining the operation distance in the above process, based on the operation distance not being greater than the still step range threshold, the process of determining the display manner of the direction control after adjustment according to the operation distance includes the following three cases.

[0102] Case 1: Based on the operation distance not being greater than the distance threshold, the second display manner is used as the display manner of the direction control after adjustment.

[0103] Among them, the distance threshold is less than the still step range threshold. The distance threshold is set based on experience or adjusted according to the implementation environment, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. Exemplarily, the distance threshold is 12 pixels. The second display manner is used to indicate that the movement manner of the virtual object in the virtual environment has not changed, that is, the second display manner is used to indicate that the movement manner of the virtual object in the virtual environment is still the still step manner.

[0104] The second display manner is any display manner different from the first display manner. Exemplarily, the display manner of the direction control being the second display manner means that the direction control is displayed in yellow. As Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the display of another game screen provided by the embodiments of the present application. In Figure 6 the shown game screen, there is a direction control 601 displayed, and the direction control 601 is displayed in yellow ( Figure 6 not shown in).

[0105] Exemplarily, the distance threshold is 12 pixels, and the operation distance determined in the above process is 10 pixels, then the display manner of the direction control is adjusted from the first display manner to the second display manner, that is, the direction control is adjusted from gray to yellow.

[0106] Case 2: Based on the operation distance being the still step range threshold, the third display manner is used as the display manner of the direction control after adjustment.

[0107] Among them, the third display manner is used to indicate that the movement manner of the virtual object in the virtual environment is about to change. The third display manner is a display manner different from both the first display manner and the second display manner. Exemplarily, the display manner of the direction control being the third display manner means that the direction control is displayed in red.

[0108] Exemplarily, the stealth movement range threshold is 30 pixels. If the operation distance determined in the above process is 30 pixels, then the display mode of the direction control is adjusted from the first display mode to the third display mode, that is, the direction control is adjusted from gray to red.

[0109] Case 3: Based on the operation distance being greater than the distance threshold and less than the stealth movement range threshold, the display mode of the direction control is adjusted to the fourth display mode as the display mode after the adjustment of the direction control.

[0110] Among them, the fourth display mode is a display mode different from the first display mode, the second display mode, and the third display mode. The fourth display mode corresponds to the operation distance. The operation distance is positively correlated with the stealth movement range threshold, and the fourth display mode is positively correlated with the third display mode. That is, the closer the operation distance is to the stealth movement range threshold, the closer the fourth display mode is to the third display mode. The operation distance is positively correlated with the distance threshold, and the fourth display mode is positively correlated with the second display mode. That is, the closer the operation distance is to the distance threshold, the closer the fourth display mode is to the second display mode.

[0111] Optionally, based on the operation distance being greater than the distance threshold and less than the stealth movement range threshold, the display mode corresponding to the operation distance is used as the fourth display mode. In the terminal device, the corresponding relationship between each distance greater than the distance threshold and less than the stealth movement range threshold and each display mode is stored. Exemplarily, Table 1 below is an exemplary table of the corresponding relationship between each distance greater than the distance threshold and less than the stealth movement range threshold and each display mode provided by the embodiments of the present application.

[0112] Table 1

[0113] Distance Display mode 13 First color 14 Second color 15 Third color 16 Fourth color … … 29 Nth color

[0114] As can be seen from Table 1 above, when the distance is 13, the corresponding display mode is the first color. When the distance is other values, the corresponding display modes are as shown in Table 1 above, and will not be elaborated here one by one. Exemplarily, if the operation distance determined in step 202 above is 14, then according to the corresponding relationship shown in Table 1, the second color is used as the fourth display mode, that is, the direction control is adjusted from gray to the second color.

[0115] Optionally, if the operating distance is not greater than the distance threshold, the direction control is changed to yellow. If the operating distance is within the stealth walking range threshold, the direction control is changed to red. If the operating distance is greater than the distance threshold and less than the stealth walking range threshold, the direction control is changed to the color corresponding to the operating distance. The color corresponding to the operating distance is a gradient color between yellow and red, and the closer the operating distance is to the stealth walking range threshold, the closer the color corresponding to the operating distance is to red. Conversely, the closer the operating distance is to the distance threshold, the closer the color corresponding to the operating distance is to yellow.

[0116] In a possible implementation, in response to a target gesture operation on the direction control, a stealth walking indicator may also be displayed in the game screen. The stealth walking indicator is used to indicate that the movement mode of the virtual object in the virtual environment is the stealth walking mode, and the operating distance corresponding to the target gesture operation is not greater than the stealth walking range threshold.

[0117] When the operating distance is not greater than the stealth walking range threshold, not only the display mode of the direction control is adjusted, but also a stealth walking indicator is displayed in the game screen. This is because some users have relatively large fingers, and when the user triggers the direction control, the direction control may be completely covered. In this case, if only the display mode of the direction control is adjusted, since the player's finger completely covers the direction control, the player cannot perceive the change in the display mode of the direction control, and thus cannot perceive the movement mode of the virtual object in the virtual environment. Therefore, on the basis of adjusting the display mode of the direction control, a stealth walking indicator is added and displayed in the game screen, so that when the player's finger completely covers the direction control, the player can perceive the movement mode of the virtual object in the virtual environment through the stealth walking indicator.

[0118] Optionally, the display mode of the stealth walking indicator displayed in the game screen is the same as the adjusted display mode of the direction control. For example, if the adjusted display mode of the direction control is that the direction control is displayed in yellow, then the stealth walking indicator is displayed in yellow. Another example is that if the adjusted display mode of the direction control is that the direction control is displayed in red, then the stealth walking indicator is displayed in red.

[0119] In a possible implementation, based on the operating distance not being greater than the stealth walking range threshold, before displaying the stealth walking indicator in the game screen, it is necessary to first determine the display position of the stealth walking indicator. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the process of determining the display position of the stealth walking indicator.

[0120] Optionally, the display position of the stealth walking indicator is determined according to the following process, and the process includes: based on the operating distance not being greater than the stealth walking range threshold, determining the display position of the stealth walking indicator according to the target gesture operation on the direction control; and displaying the stealth walking indicator at the display position of the stealth walking indicator in the game screen.

[0121] Depending on the different target gesture operations on the direction control, the way to determine the display position of the sneak indicator is also different. According to the target gesture operation on the direction control, there are the following two cases to determine the display position of the sneak indicator.

[0122] The first case: Based on the type of the direction control being a fixed direction control, and the target gesture operation on the direction control being a trigger operation on the direction control, determine the display position of the sneak indicator according to the trigger operation on the direction control.

[0123] Optionally, according to the trigger operation on the direction control, determine a first ray starting from the center of the direction control and passing through the position corresponding to the trigger operation; use the first point on the first ray as the display position of the sneak indicator, the distance between the first point and the second point meets the distance requirement, and the first point is not located on the direction control, and the second point is the intersection point of the first ray and the direction control.

[0124] Among them, that the distance between the first point and the second point meets the distance requirement means that the distance between the first point and the second point is the target distance. The target distance is set based on experience or adjusted according to the implementation environment, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. Exemplarily, the target distance is 3 pixels.

[0125] As Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of the display of another game screen provided by the embodiments of the present application. In Figure 7 the shown game screen, a sneak indicator 701 is displayed, and the display position of the sneak indicator 701 is the position where the first point 702 is located. The first point 702 is located on the first ray 703, and the distance between the first point 702 and the second point 704 meets the distance requirement. The first ray 703 starts from the center 705 of the direction control and passes through the position 706 corresponding to the trigger operation.

[0126] The second case: Based on the type of the direction control being a follow direction control, and the target gesture operation on the direction control being a continuous gesture operation of sliding after triggering the direction control, determine the display position of the sneak indicator according to the continuous gesture operation of sliding after triggering the direction control.

[0127] Optionally, according to the continuous gesture operation of sliding after triggering the direction control, determine a second ray starting from the position corresponding to the trigger operation and passing through the end position of the sliding operation; determine a third ray parallel to the second ray and starting from the center of the direction control; use the third point on the third ray as the display position of the sneak indicator, the distance between the third point and the fourth point meets the distance requirement, and the third point is not located on the direction control, and the fourth point is the intersection point of the third ray and the direction control.

[0128] As Figure 8 is a schematic diagram showing another display of a game screen provided by an embodiment of the present application. In Figure 8 the shown game screen, a crouching indicator 801 is displayed, and the display position of the crouching indicator 801 is the position where the third point 802 is located. The third point 802 is located on the third ray 803, and the distance between the third point 802 and the fourth point 804 meets the distance requirement. The third ray 803 is parallel to the second ray 805 and is a ray starting from the center 806 of the direction control. The second ray 805 is a ray starting from the position 807 corresponding to the trigger operation and passing through the end position 808 of the sliding operation.

[0129] In a possible implementation, after the direction control is displayed according to the adjusted display mode of the direction control, if the user further operates on the direction control, the display mode of the direction control can also be adjusted. This process includes: based on the type of the direction control being a fixed direction control, the target gesture operation for the direction control being the trigger operation for the direction control, in response to receiving a sliding operation on the direction control after the trigger operation, determining the distance between the end position of the sliding operation and the center of the direction control; based on the distance between the end position of the sliding operation and the center of the direction control being greater than the crouching range threshold, displaying the direction control in the first display mode. In this way, the user can know that the movement mode of the virtual object in the virtual environment is a non-crouching mode. That is, the direction control is displayed in gray.

[0130] As Figure 9 is a schematic diagram showing another display of a game screen provided by an embodiment of the present application. In Figure 9 the shown game screen, the position corresponding to the trigger operation for the direction control is 901. After the trigger operation for the direction control, the direction control is slid again, and the end position of the sliding operation is 902. The distance between the end position of the sliding operation and the center 903 of the direction control is greater than the crouching range threshold. Therefore, Figure 9 the direction control 904 in is displayed in gray (the first display mode).

[0131] Optionally, based on the distance between the end position of the sliding operation and the center of the direction control being greater than the crouching range threshold, the crouching indicator is cancelled from display.

[0132] Based on the type of the direction control being a follow - direction control, the target gesture operation for the direction control is a continuous gesture operation of sliding after triggering the direction control. In response to receiving a secondary sliding operation for the direction control after the sliding operation, determine the distance between the end position of the secondary sliding operation and the position corresponding to the triggering operation; based on the distance between the end position of the secondary sliding operation and the position corresponding to the triggering operation being greater than the static - step range threshold, display the direction control in a first display manner. That is, display the direction control as gray.

[0133] Optionally, based on the distance between the end position of the secondary sliding operation and the position corresponding to the triggering operation being greater than the static - step range threshold, cancel the display of the static - step indicator.

[0134] Such as Figure 10 is a schematic diagram of the display of another game screen provided by an embodiment of the present application. In Figure 10 In the shown game screen, the position corresponding to the triggering operation for the direction control is 1001. After the triggering operation for the direction control, the end position of the first sliding operation of sliding the direction control is 1002, and the end position of the secondary sliding operation of sliding the direction control for the second time is 1003. The distance between the end position 1003 of the secondary sliding operation and the position 1001 corresponding to the triggering operation is greater than the static - step range threshold. Therefore, Figure 10 the direction control 1004 in

[0135] The above - mentioned method, when the direction control is triggered and the operation distance corresponding to the target gesture operation for the direction control is not greater than the static - step range threshold, determines the display manner after adjustment of the direction control according to the operation distance, and then displays the direction control according to the display manner after adjustment of the direction control. This method enables the player to know whether the movement mode of the virtual object in the virtual environment is the static - step mode according to the display manner after adjustment of the direction control, without shaking the virtual environment, making the accuracy of the movement mode of the virtual object determined by the player in the virtual environment relatively high. The player can control the virtual object according to the movement mode of the virtual object in the virtual environment, making the control effect of the virtual object better.

[0136] Figure 11 is a flowchart of a game control method provided by an embodiment of the present application. This flowchart is for the case where the type of the direction control is a fixed - direction control. As Figure 11 shown, this method includes the following steps 1101 to step 1109.

[0137] Step 1101: Determine whether the player triggers the direction control.

[0138] Step 1102: Based on the player not triggering the direction control, end the process.

[0139] Step 1103: Based on the player triggering the direction control, determine the distance Y between the position corresponding to the trigger operation and the center of the direction control.

[0140] Step 1104: Based on Y being equal to the sneak range threshold, display the direction control in red, display the sneak indicator, and display the sneak indicator in red. Based on Y being not greater than the distance threshold, display the direction control in yellow, display the sneak indicator, and display the sneak indicator in yellow. Based on Y being less than the sneak range threshold and greater than the distance threshold, display the direction control in the color corresponding to Y, display the sneak indicator, and display the sneak indicator in the color corresponding to Y.

[0141] Based on Y being greater than the sneak range threshold, the direction control does not change, and the sneak indicator is not displayed.

[0142] Step 1105: Determine whether the player cancels triggering the direction control.

[0143] Step 1106: Based on the player not canceling the trigger of the direction control, determine whether the player makes a swipe.

[0144] Step 1107: Based on the player making a swipe, determine the distance X between the end position of the swipe operation and the center of the direction control.

[0145] Based on the player not making a swipe, execute Step 1103.

[0146] Step 1108: Based on X being equal to the sneak range threshold, display the direction control in red, display the sneak indicator, and display the sneak indicator in red. Based on X being not greater than the distance threshold, display the direction control in yellow, display the sneak indicator, and display the sneak indicator in yellow. Based on X being less than the sneak range threshold and greater than the distance threshold, display the direction control in the color corresponding to X, display the sneak indicator, and display the sneak indicator in the color corresponding to X.

[0147] Based on X being greater than the sneak range threshold, the direction control does not change, and the sneak indicator is not displayed.

[0148] Step 1109: Based on the player canceling the trigger of the direction control, display the direction control in gray, and cancel the display of the sneak indicator.

[0149] Figure 12 It is a flowchart of a game control method provided by an embodiment of the present application. This flowchart is for the case where the type of the direction control is a follow direction control, as Figure 12 shown. This method includes the following steps 1201 to 1210.

[0150] Step 1201: Determine whether the player triggers the direction control.

[0151] Step 1202: End the process based on the player not triggering the direction control.

[0152] Step 1203: Based on the player triggering the direction control, determine whether the player makes a swipe.

[0153] Step 1204: Based on the player making a swipe, determine the distance Z between the position corresponding to the trigger operation and the end position of the swipe operation.

[0154] Based on the player not making a swipe operation, execute Step 1202.

[0155] Step 1205: Based on Z being equal to the sneak range threshold, display the direction control in red, display the sneak indicator, and the sneak indicator is displayed in red. Based on Z not being greater than the distance threshold, display the direction control in yellow, display the sneak indicator, and the sneak indicator is displayed in yellow. Based on Z being less than the sneak range threshold and greater than the distance threshold, display the direction control in the color corresponding to Z, display the sneak indicator, and the sneak indicator is displayed in the color corresponding to Z.

[0156] Based on Z being greater than the sneak range threshold, the direction control does not change, and the sneak indicator is not displayed.

[0157] Step 1206: Determine whether the player cancels the swipe operation.

[0158] Step 1207: Based on the player not canceling the swipe operation, determine whether the player makes another swipe.

[0159] Step 1208: Based on the player making another swipe, determine the distance W between the position corresponding to the trigger operation and the end position of the secondary swipe operation.

[0160] Based on the player not making another swipe, execute Step 1204.

Based on W not being greater than the distance threshold, display the direction control in yellow, display the sneak indicator, and the sneak indicator is displayed in yellow. Based on W being less than the sneak range threshold and greater than the distance threshold, display the direction control in the color corresponding to W, display the sneak indicator, and the sneak indicator is displayed in the color corresponding to W.

[0162] Based on W being greater than the sneak range threshold, the direction control does not change, and the sneak indicator is not displayed.

[0163] Step 1210: Based on the player canceling the swipe operation, display the direction control in gray, and cancel the display of the sneak indicator.

[0174] In a possible implementation, the determination module 1302 is configured to determine a first ray that starts from the center of the direction control and passes through a position corresponding to a trigger operation based on the type of the direction control being a fixed direction control and the target gesture operation for the direction control being a trigger operation for the direction control; use a first point on the first ray as the display position of the sneak indicator, where the distance between the first point and a second point meets a distance requirement and the first point is not located on the direction control, and the second point is the intersection point of the first ray and the direction control.

[0176] In a possible implementation, the type of the direction control is a fixed direction control, and the target gesture operation for the direction control is a trigger operation for the direction control.

[0177] The determination module 1302 is configured to determine a distance between a position corresponding to a trigger operation for the direction control and the center of the direction control in response to the trigger operation for the direction control; use the distance between the position corresponding to the trigger operation for the direction control and the center of the direction control as the operation distance.

[0178] In a possible implementation, the type of the direction control is a following direction control, and the target gesture operation for the direction control is a continuous gesture operation of sliding after a trigger for the direction control.
