Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of game technologies, and in particular, to a control method, device, electronic device, and storage medium in a shooting game. Background Art

[0002] With the booming development of the electronic game industry, shooting games have become one of the most popular game types. Modern shooting games simulate real ballistic trajectories through a physics engine, combined with dynamic lighting and particle effects, to provide players with an immersive combat experience. A typical shooting game uses a crosshair mechanism as the core interaction method, and its design usually adopts a fixed crosshair mode, achieving precise shooting through a predefined hit judgment area.

[0003] In a multiplayer online competitive scenario, the existing technology mainly relies on the hit judgment algorithm of ray detection technology for combat settlement. This mechanism requires players to accurately align the center point of the crosshair with the target, and there is a large difference in hit rates between novice players and professional players. At the same time, in the team combat mode, there is a lack of support for simultaneously locking multiple targets, increasing the operation difficulty for players.

[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background art section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present disclosure, and thus may include information that does not constitute the prior art known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0032] To enable those skilled in the art to use the content of the present application, the following embodiments are given in combination with the specific application scenario of "control in a shooting game". For those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, the general principles defined here can be applied to other embodiments and application scenarios.

[0033] The following methods, devices, electronic devices, or computer-readable storage media in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to any scenario that requires control in a shooting game. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific application scenario. Any solution that uses the control method and device for shooting games provided by the embodiments of the present application falls within the protection scope of the present application.

[0034] It should be noted that before the present application was proposed, in the existing solutions, the aiming sight mechanism was adopted as the core interaction method in shooting games. Its design usually used the fixed aiming sight mode, and precise shooting was achieved through a predefined hit determination area. In the multi-player online competitive scenario, the existing technology mainly relied on the hit determination algorithm of the ray detection technology for combat settlement. This mechanism required players to accurately align the center point of the aiming sight with the target, and there was a large difference in the hit rates between novice players and professional players. At the same time, in the team combat mode, there was a lack of support for simultaneous locking of multiple targets, which increased the operation difficulty for players.

[0035] In view of the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a control method, device, electronic device, and storage medium in a shooting game. In response to a first trigger event, the first aiming sight is replaced with a second aiming sight and displayed on the graphical user interface; both the first aiming sight and the second aiming sight are the aiming sights of the first virtual weapon currently used by the controlled virtual object, and the second aiming coverage area of the second aiming sight is larger than the first aiming coverage area of the first aiming sight; in response to the first trigger operation of the shooting instruction, control the controlled virtual object to use the first virtual weapon to fire bullets to strike at least one locked object; each locked object is a hostile virtual object within the second aiming coverage area. The present application activates the assisted aiming skill, automatically adjusts the shape of the aiming sight to expand the aiming range, can achieve simultaneous strikes on multiple targets, can reduce the requirement for aiming accuracy, and improve the shooting efficiency.

[0036] In an optional implementation manner, the terminal device involved in the embodiments of the present application mainly refers to a terminal that is used to provide a graphical user interface and can perform control operations on virtual characters. Among them, the terminal device can be the local terminal device mentioned below, or the client device in the cloud interaction system. The terminal device can include, but is not limited to, any one of the following devices: laptop computer, smart phone, tablet computer, desktop computer, game console, MP4 (Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer IV, dynamic video expert compression standard audio layer player), personal digital assistant (PDA), e-book reader, etc. The terminal device installs and runs an application program that supports games, such as an application program that supports three-dimensional games or two-dimensional games. In the embodiments of the present application, the application program is introduced as a game application. Optionally, the application program can be a stand-alone version of the application program, such as a stand-alone 3D game program, or a network online version of the application program.

[0037] In an alternative embodiment, a graphical user interface is a display format for the interface between a human and a computer, which allows a user to manipulate icons, identifiers, or menu options on the screen using input devices such as a mouse or keyboard, and also allows the user to manipulate the icons or menu options on the screen by performing touch operations on the touch screen of a touch terminal, so as to select commands, start programs, or perform other tasks, etc.

[0038] In an alternative embodiment, a UI control refers to any visible control or element that can be seen on the user interface of an application program. For example, controls such as pictures, input boxes, text boxes, buttons, labels, etc. Some of these UI controls respond to user operations, and the UI controls, that is, game controls, such as skill controls, movement controls, evasion controls, item controls, etc.

[0039] In an alternative embodiment, a virtual game scene is a scene displayed (or provided) when an application program runs on a terminal or a server, that is, a scene used during the normal game process. That is to say, a virtual game scene refers to a virtual game control that carries a virtual character during the game process, and the virtual character can move, execute skills, etc. under the control of operation instructions issued by the user (i.e., the player) to the terminal device in the virtual game scene. Optionally, the virtual game scene can be a simulation environment of the real world, a semi-simulated and semi-fictional virtual environment, or a purely fictional virtual environment. The virtual game scene can be any one of a two-dimensional virtual interaction scene, a 2.5D virtual interaction scene, and a three-dimensional virtual interaction scene. The virtual environment can be the sky, land, ocean, etc., where the land includes environmental elements such as buildings, trees, rocks, deserts, etc. Exemplarily, the virtual game scene can include any one or more of the following elements: game background elements, game object elements, game item elements, and game resource elements, etc.

[0040] In an alternative embodiment, in a virtual world, different virtual teams belonging to at least two enemy camps respectively occupy their own map areas and compete with a certain victory condition as the goal. The victory condition includes but is not limited to: occupying a stronghold or destroying the stronghold of the enemy camp, killing virtual objects of the enemy camp, ensuring one's own survival within a specified scene and time, snatching a certain resource, having a score exceeding that of the opponent within a specified time, etc. Tactical competition can be carried out in units of rounds, and the maps for each round of tactical competition can be the same or different. Each virtual team includes one or more virtual objects, etc.

[0041] In an optional implementation, an embodiment of the present application provides a control system for a game, which may include at least one terminal device, at least one server, at least one database, and a network. The terminal device held by the user can be connected to the servers of different games through the network. The terminal device is any device with computing hardware that can support and execute software products corresponding to the game. In addition, when the system includes multiple terminal devices, multiple servers, and multiple networks, different terminal devices can be connected to each other through different networks and different servers. The network can be a wireless network or a wired network, such as a wireless network such as a wireless local area network (WLAN), a local area network (LAN), a cellular network, a 2G network, a 3G network, a 4G network, a 5G network, etc. In addition, different terminal devices can also use their own Bluetooth network or hotspot network to connect to other terminal devices or to servers, etc. For example, multiple users can be online through different terminal devices and thus connected and synchronized with each other through appropriate networks to support multi-player games. In addition, the system may include multiple databases, multiple databases coupled to different servers, and identifications related to the game environment can be continuously stored in the database when different users are online for multi-player games.

[0042] The present application provides a control method in a shooting game, wherein the control method in a shooting game in one embodiment can be run on a local terminal device or a server. When the control method in the shooting game 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.

[0043] 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 control method in the shooting game 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 identification 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.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, taking a game as an example, the local terminal device stores a game program and is used to present game screens. The local terminal device is used to interact with players through a graphical user interface, that is, conventionally, the game program is downloaded and installed on an electronic device and run. The ways for the local terminal device to provide the graphical user interface to players can include various types. For example, it can be rendered and displayed on the display screen of the terminal, or provided to players through holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device can include a display screen and a processor. The display screen is used to present the graphical user interface, which includes game screens. The processor is used to run the game, generate the graphical user interface, and control the display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.

[0045] In an optional embodiment, the embodiments of the present application provide a control method in a shooting game. A graphical user interface is provided through a terminal device. Among them, the terminal device can be the aforementioned local terminal device or the client device in the aforementioned cloud interaction system. The following takes the control method in the shooting game running on the local terminal device (hereinafter referred to as the terminal device) as an example for illustration.

[0046] To facilitate the understanding of the present application, the technical solutions provided by the present application will be described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments.

[0047] Figure 1 It is a flowchart of a control method in a shooting game provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 1 shown, the control method in the shooting game provided by the embodiments of the present application provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device. The content displayed on the graphical user interface includes a first sight, at least part of the game scene, and a plurality of hostile virtual objects located in the game scene. The method includes the following steps:

[0048] S101: In response to a first trigger event, replace the first sight with a second sight and display it on the graphical user interface. Both the first sight and the second sight are the sights of the first virtual weapon currently used by the controlled virtual object, and the second aiming coverage area of the second sight is larger than the first aiming coverage area of the first sight.

[0049] It should be noted that shooting games are generally divided into First-Person Shooter (FPS) and Third-Person Shooter (TPS). Among them, in FPS games, players play the game from the first-person perspective, that is, they can see the hands and weapons of their own characters. This perspective can bring players an immersive feeling and make them more focused on aiming and shooting. In TPS games, players can see the whole body of the character they control. This perspective allows players to better master the relationship between the position of the character and the surrounding environment. Here, the shooting game control method proposed in the embodiments of this application can be applied to both types of FPS games and TPS games. On the graphical user interface, a controlled virtual object manipulated by the terminal device will be displayed. The controlled virtual object can be presented in whole or in part according to the specific situation of the game type.

[0050] When the game is running, players can operate the controlled virtual object to move and use virtual weapons to perform operations such as aiming and shooting. Among them, the virtual weapon can be a firearm, such as a pistol, a rifle, a sniper rifle, etc. The characteristics of a pistol are short range and moderate power, which is suitable for close combat; a rifle has great lethality and performs well in medium-range combat; a sniper rifle has extremely high accuracy and damage, which is suitable for accurately hitting targets at a long distance, etc.

[0051] Generally, the typical shooting games in the prior art use the crosshair mechanism as the core interaction method, and their designs mostly adopt the fixed crosshair mode. The accurate shooting effect is achieved through a pre-set hit determination area, which has relatively high requirements for the aiming accuracy of players. In response to this, the embodiments of this application provide a set of shooting game assistance systems, aiming to expand the aiming range by automatically changing the crosshair shape, thereby reducing the requirements for aiming accuracy. Specifically, when the player manipulates the controlled virtual object to use the first virtual weapon, a first crosshair in the conventional form corresponding to the first virtual weapon (usually in the shape of a cross, a dot, etc.) will be displayed on the graphical user interface. The player needs to use the first crosshair for accurate aiming to hit the hostile virtual object. When the first trigger event is detected, the change of the crosshair shape will be triggered, that is, it will change from the first crosshair to the second crosshair, and the aiming coverage area of the second crosshair is larger, so as to achieve the expansion of the aiming range.

[0052] It should be clear that both the first sight and the second sight belong to the sights of the first virtual weapon. The only difference between them lies in the aiming range, and their functions are both visual identifiers for assisting aiming. Among them, the second sight has a wider second aiming coverage area and can simultaneously aim at and cover multiple hostile virtual objects. This means that when using the first virtual weapon to shoot through the second sight, multiple hostile virtual objects within the second aiming coverage area of the second sight can be simultaneously struck. This design significantly expands the aiming range, reduces the accuracy of the aiming operation to a certain extent, and greatly improves the success rate of shooting strikes, enabling players to attack more effectively when facing multiple hostile virtual objects.

[0053] S102: In response to the first trigger operation of the shooting instruction, control the controlled virtual object to use the first virtual weapon to fire bullets to strike at least one locked object; each of the locked objects is a hostile virtual object within the second aiming coverage area.

[0054] In a specific implementation, after the second sight is displayed on the graphical user interface, if the player issues a shooting instruction, the controlled virtual object can be controlled to use the first virtual weapon to fire bullets to simultaneously strike at least one locked object locked within the second aiming coverage area of the second sight.

[0055] It can be understood that after the player issues a shooting instruction, a shooting animation can also be played. That is, in S102, in response to the first trigger operation of the shooting instruction, play an animation in which the bullet trajectory splits into the number of trajectories corresponding to the number of targets to strike each locked object; the number of targets is the same as the number of the at least one locked object.

[0056] Here, after the display of the second sight is triggered, the first virtual weapon provided in the embodiment of the present application (such as conventional weapons with a relatively small strike range like pistols, rifles, sniper rifles, etc.) can fire a single bullet to simultaneously strike multiple locked objects. At this time, the game animation will intuitively display the splitting process of the bullet trajectory when approaching the target area, and the number of split trajectories corresponds to the number of locked objects covered by the second sight, ensuring that each locked object can be effectively hit. This design not only broadens the player's strategic choices but also enriches the playability of the game, allowing players to experience diverse combat methods in different battle scenarios.

[0057] In an embodiment of the present application, in response to a first trigger event, the first aiming sight is replaced with a second aiming sight and displayed on the graphical user interface; both the first aiming sight and the second aiming sight are the aiming sights of the first virtual weapon currently used by the controlled virtual object, and the second aiming coverage area of the second aiming sight is larger than the first aiming coverage area of the first aiming sight; in response to a first trigger operation of a shooting instruction, the controlled virtual object is controlled to use the first virtual weapon to fire bullets to strike at least one locked object; each locked object is a hostile virtual object within the second aiming coverage area. By activating the assisted aiming skill in the present application, the aiming sight automatically adjusts its form to expand the aiming range, enabling simultaneous strikes on multiple targets, reducing the requirement for aiming accuracy, and improving shooting efficiency.

[0058] In a possible implementation manner, the first trigger event is an event in which the controlled virtual object meets the condition for activating the assisted aiming skill, and the first trigger event includes at least one of the following events: the health value of the controlled virtual object is less than or equal to a preset threshold; the cumulative number of hostile virtual objects killed by the controlled virtual object is greater than or equal to a preset number.

[0059] It can be understood that in game design, to balance playability and challenge, the display of the second aiming sight has specific conditions. Only when the first trigger event is detected during the game operation will the second aiming sight be displayed on the graphical user interface for the player to use. Here, the first trigger event is an event in which the controlled virtual object meets the condition for activating the assisted aiming skill. As a virtual skill equipped by the controlled virtual object, the activation mechanism of the assisted aiming skill is the key to the display of the second aiming sight. When the assisted aiming skill is activated, the second aiming sight of the first virtual weapon will be displayed on the graphical user interface. At this time, the second aiming sight can dynamically adjust its position according to relevant factors and truly and effectively play its function of expanding the aiming range for aiming. This design of conditionally displaying the second aiming sight not only improves the player's ability to strike multiple targets but also avoids the imbalance of game difficulty caused by too large an aiming range at the initial stage of the game, effectively balancing the playability and challenge of the game and enabling the player to obtain a suitable combat experience at different game stages.

[0060] Here, the assisted aiming skill can be set as a special trigger effect of the virtual weapon, applicable to weapons with high aiming accuracy, small aiming range, and capable of hitting only a single target at a time, such as pistols, rifles, sniper rifles, etc. After activating this assisted aiming skill, the aiming range of the corresponding virtual weapon expands, covering more targets through the second aiming sight, enabling such weapons that originally hit a single target with a single shot to achieve the effect of hitting multiple targets at once when shooting, adding a group attack feature to precision weapons.

[0061] Here, in the embodiments of the present application, the form of the first trigger event is flexible and unrestricted. Its core purpose is to balance the playability and challenge of the game, ensuring that players activate and use the assisted aiming skill under reasonable conditions, while maintaining the fun and competitiveness of the game. The first trigger event is triggered by the controlled virtual object, and the specific triggering method can be set according to the actual operation mechanism of the game, and there are various possible situations. For example, when the controlled virtual object meets certain conditions, such as the degree of health value decrease, the cumulative kill count reaches the standard, enters a specific area, completes a specific task, etc., the first trigger event can be triggered. To facilitate players' understanding of the relevant mechanism, three possible determination situations of the first trigger event will be illustrated by examples below.

[0062] Situation 1: The first trigger event is that the cumulative number of hostile virtual objects killed by the controlled virtual object is greater than or equal to a preset number. Specifically, when the cumulative number of hostile virtual objects killed by the controlled virtual object reaches or exceeds the preset number, the second crosshair display can be activated. This is equivalent to a reward mechanism, encouraging players to actively fight in the early stage of the game. As the kill count increases, a wider aiming range is given to them, enabling them to lock multiple hostile virtual objects simultaneously and improve the combat efficiency.

[0063] Situation 2: The first trigger event is that the health value of the controlled virtual object is less than or equal to a preset threshold. Specifically, when the health value of the controlled virtual object drops to the preset threshold or below, the system will automatically activate the second crosshair display. This design aims to enhance the survival ability of the controlled virtual object. As a protection mechanism, in the emergency moment when the player is in danger and has a low health value, it helps the player to counterattack more efficiently, reverse the unfavorable situation by expanding the aiming range, and increase the chance of a successful counter-kill.

[0064] Situation 3: The first trigger event is that the health value of the controlled virtual object is less than or equal to a preset threshold, and the cumulative number of hostile virtual objects killed by the controlled virtual object is greater than or equal to a preset number. This setting aims to comprehensively consider the survival status and combat results of the controlled virtual object. When the controlled virtual object shows certain abilities in the battle but is still on the verge of danger, the activation event of the assisted aiming skill is triggered, thus balancing the playability and challenge of the game, allowing players to have the opportunity to reverse the situation by their own abilities while facing certain risks and challenges, and enhancing the fun and sense of achievement of the game.

[0065] In a possible implementation, before the step of replacing the first aiming reticle with the second aiming reticle and displaying it on the graphical user interface in S101 in response to the first trigger event, the method further includes: in response to the controlled virtual object satisfying the second trigger event for unlocking the assisted aiming skill, controlling the assisted aiming skill of the controlled virtual object to be in an available state; the step of replacing the first aiming reticle with the second aiming reticle and displaying it on the graphical user interface in S101 in response to the first trigger event includes: when the assisted aiming skill of the controlled virtual object is in an available state, in response to the first trigger event, replacing the first aiming reticle with the second aiming reticle and displaying it on the graphical user interface.

[0066] In a specific implementation, a specific unlocking and activation mechanism is adopted for the assisted aiming skill of the controlled virtual object controlled by the player in the game. Specifically, when the controlled virtual object satisfies a specific second trigger event, the assisted aiming skill can be unlocked, and the controlled virtual object has the assisted aiming skill and makes it in a standby state. At this time, when the game is running, if the first trigger event is detected, the unlocked assisted aiming skill will be activated, and then the second aiming reticle will be displayed, enabling the player to perform assisted aiming with the help of the assisted aiming skill. This mechanism greatly increases the difficulty of using the assisted aiming skill. By reasonably setting the conditions for unlocking and activating the assisted aiming skill, it skillfully balances the playability and challenge of the game, enabling the player to feel the convenience brought by the assisted aiming skill during the game experience and continuously challenge themselves, enhancing the fun and attractiveness of the game.

[0067] It can be understood that in game design, the assisted aiming skill can be selected and configured according to the role setting of the virtual object in the game to achieve balance and tactical diversity. Specifically, for those characters set as precision damage types, such as those equipped with weapons with a small aiming reticle range like sniper rifles, pistols, and rifles, they are allowed to unlock the assisted aiming skill. This not only increases the operation ceiling of the character but also enhances the player's immersion and sense of achievement in precision shooting scenarios. For characters using area damage weapons such as shotguns and grenades, due to the area damage characteristics of the weapons themselves, they do not need to rely on the assisted aiming skill. By reasonably restricting the configuration of the assisted aiming skill for these characters, it not only ensures the balance of the game operation but also prompts the player to formulate different tactics according to the character characteristics, effectively enriching the tactical selection dimension of the game and enhancing the overall game experience.

[0068] Here, in the embodiments of the present application, the form of the second trigger event is flexible and unrestricted. Its core purpose is to take into account the role setting, balance the game playability and challenge, ensure that players unlock the assisted aiming skill under reasonable conditions, and at the same time maintain the fun and competitiveness of the game. The second trigger event is triggered by the controlled virtual object, and the specific triggering method can be set according to the actual operation mechanism of the game, and there are various possible situations. For example, when the controlled virtual object meets certain conditions, such as the character level meets the requirements, obtains a specific item, the character achievement reaches the requirements, etc., the second trigger event can be triggered.

[0069] To facilitate players' understanding of the relevant mechanism, a possible determination situation of the second trigger event will be illustrated below. That is, in a possible implementation manner, the second trigger event includes that the character level of the controlled virtual object is greater than or equal to a preset level.

[0070] Here, in the embodiments of the present application, the display form of the second aiming sight with a wider aiming coverage area is not limited, as long as the following conditions are met: the first aiming sight and the second aiming sight of the same virtual weapon have different forms, and it can be reflected that the aiming coverage area of the second aiming sight is greater than that of the first aiming sight. The following are several possible forms:

[0071] Form 1, the second aiming sight can be composed of multiple assisted aiming points and a main aiming sight. The main aiming sight is in the center, and multiple assisted aiming points surround it to form an annular aiming area, so that players can quickly capture and lock multiple targets.

[0072] Form 2, the second aiming sight can include a main aiming sight and a dynamically expanding aiming area. The main aiming sight is located in the center of the area, and the area will automatically adjust its size according to the distance between the controlled virtual object and the target: it shrinks at close range for precise strikes and expands at long range to facilitate target capture.

[0073] Form 3, the second aiming sight can also include a main aiming sight and an assisted aiming grid. The main aiming sight is located in the center of the grid, and the grid covers a certain area range. When the target enters the grid area, the intersection points are automatically marked and highlighted to help players quickly locate and aim at the target.

[0074] A possible display form of the second aiming sight will be illustrated below. That is, in a possible implementation manner, the second aiming sight includes an assisted aiming border and a main aiming sight, and the main aiming sight is located within the second aiming coverage area indicated by the assisted aiming border.

[0075] In a specific implementation, the second sight can be composed of an auxiliary aiming frame and a main sight. The main sight is located within the second aiming coverage area indicated by the auxiliary aiming frame. The main sight can be a traditional crosshair, and the second aiming coverage area can be an annular area or a polygonal area. The role of the auxiliary aiming frame is to indicate a larger aiming coverage area to help players more easily capture and lock onto targets, while the main sight is used for more precise aiming. This design enables players to quickly locate targets and perform accurate strikes when using the aiming assist skill, enhancing the aiming experience and operational convenience of the game.

[0076] Furthermore, for the sight system of the same virtual weapon, the second sight is designed to include a main sight with the same display form as the first sight, and a newly added auxiliary aiming frame. The main sight, as the core of precise aiming, ensures the player's need for accurate strikes; the auxiliary aiming frame indicates the second aiming coverage area, effectively expanding the aiming range. In actual game operations, this design enables hostile virtual objects that are originally within the second aiming coverage area but not precisely aligned by the main sight to also be listed as potential strike targets. In this way, the auxiliary aiming function of the second sight is realized, not only improving the player's target capture efficiency but also enhancing the flexibility and diversity of combat, enabling players to respond more calmly when facing multiple enemies and effectively improving the playability and competitiveness of the game.

[0077] Exemplarily, Figure 2 shows one of the schematic diagrams of the graphical user interface provided by the embodiments of the present application; Figure 3 shows another schematic diagram of the graphical user interface provided by the embodiments of the present application. Figure 2 The shown graphical user interface is the interface before the first trigger event occurs. The controlled virtual object 21, the hostile virtual object 22, and the first sight 23 corresponding to the first virtual weapon are displayed on this graphical user interface; Figure 3 The shown graphical user interface is the interface after the first trigger event occurs. The controlled virtual object 21, the hostile virtual object 22, and the second sight corresponding to the first virtual weapon are displayed on this graphical user interface. The second sight includes an auxiliary aiming frame 241 and a main sight 242, and the main sight 242 is located within the second aiming coverage area 243 indicated by the auxiliary aiming frame 241. Specifically, during the game operation, when it is detected that the first trigger event occurs, the first sight 23 on the graphical user interface is replaced with the second sight for display.

[0078] In a possible implementation manner, Figure 4 is a flowchart of another control method in a shooting game provided by the embodiments of the present application. As Figure 4As shown, the control method in the shooting game provided by the embodiment of the present application provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device. The content displayed on the graphical user interface includes a first sight, at least part of the game scene, and a plurality of hostile virtual objects located in the game scene. The method includes the following steps:

[0079] S401: In response to a first trigger event, replace the first sight with a second sight and display it on the graphical user interface, and continuously scan the second aiming coverage area of the second sight to determine at least one locked object aimed at by the second sight.

[0080] During the game operation, the positions and postures of the controlled virtual object and the hostile virtual objects are constantly changing, and the relative distance between them also changes in real time. This makes the hostile virtual objects aimed at within the second aiming coverage area of the second sight in a dynamic change. To ensure the player's attack accuracy and the real-time interactivity of the game, the system continuously and real-time scans the second aiming coverage area to accurately lock the hostile targets within the second aiming coverage area. In this way, when the player issues a shooting command, the system can implement a strike on the locked objects currently within the second aiming coverage area based on the latest locking information. This dynamic locking and real-time feedback mechanism not only enhances the immersion of the game but also improves the tension and strategy of the battle, enabling the player to quickly respond and seize the fleeting opportunities in the rapidly changing battle situation, greatly enriching the gameplay and depth of the game.

[0081] Wherein, both the first sight and the second sight are the sights of the first virtual weapon currently used by the controlled virtual object, and the second aiming coverage area of the second sight is larger than the first aiming coverage area of the first sight.

[0082] Further, the implementation process of scanning the second aiming coverage area of the second sight to determine the locked object is illustrated by way of example below. That is, the step of continuously scanning the second aiming coverage area of the second sight and determining at least one locked object aimed at by the second sight in S401 includes the following steps:

[0083] Step 4011: Continuously scan the second aiming coverage area of the second sight to determine at least one hostile virtual object covered by the second aiming coverage area of the second sight.

[0084] In a specific implementation, the system can use collision bodies of specific shapes, such as fan-shaped, cylindrical, etc., to continuously scan the second aiming coverage area of the second aiming sight to determine the hostile virtual objects covered by the second aiming coverage area of the second aiming sight. Usually during scanning, the system identifies hostile virtual objects that are within the effective range of the first virtual weapon and located within this coverage area. These identified hostile virtual objects will be included in the range of targetable targets, so that players can attack the locked hostile targets at any time according to the scanning results, improving the combat efficiency and interactivity of the game.

[0085] Step 4012: If the number of hostile virtual objects covered by the second aiming coverage area is greater than the aiming capacity threshold of the first virtual weapon, based on the preset locking priority, select the at least one locked object from the at least one hostile virtual object covered.

[0086] In a specific implementation, since the second aiming coverage area of the second aiming sight is wider than the aiming range of the first aiming sight, when the number of hostile virtual objects is large and relatively concentrated, the second aiming coverage area may cover a large number of hostile targets at the same time, easily exceeding the upper limit of the aiming capacity of the first virtual weapon. For this reason, the embodiment of the present application introduces a preset locking priority mechanism to screen the covered hostile virtual objects to determine the final locked objects actually attacked by the first virtual weapon. The system preferentially selects high-priority targets as locked objects to ensure that each shot accurately hits key targets. This mechanism effectively avoids the chaos of indiscriminate attacks, making each operation of the player more strategic and purposeful, and significantly improving the playability and immersion of the game.

[0087] Here, the embodiment of the present application does not limit the preset locking priority, as long as it can screen locked objects and conform to the game design logic. The preset locking priority can be set according to factors such as the distance, health, threat level, movement speed and direction between the hostile target and the controlled virtual object. For ease of understanding, the following takes a possible screening implementation method as an example for illustration, that is, the step of selecting the at least one locked object from the at least one hostile virtual object covered based on the preset locking priority in step 4012 includes the following steps: Sort the at least one hostile virtual object according to the preset locking priority, and determine the hostile virtual objects within the aiming capacity threshold after sorting as locked objects; wherein, the preset locking priority includes distance priority and health priority.

[0088] In specific implementation, the hostile virtual objects within the second aiming coverage area can be sorted based on distance priority and / or health priority. Specifically, the system can assign higher priority to hostile targets that are closer to the controlled virtual object. At the same time, the system can also set a higher priority for hostile targets with lower health. By this way of setting priorities, the system can sort the hostile targets based on the priority or the lock score calculated through a specific algorithm. After the sorting is completed, the system will determine the hostile virtual objects with higher rankings and the number equal to the aiming capacity threshold as the locked objects. This process is usually achieved through real-time data processing and algorithm operations to ensure that in an intense battle scenario, players can quickly and accurately lock the most threatening or vulnerable hostile targets, thereby effectively improving the combat efficiency and strategy of the game.

[0089] Step 4013: If the number of the at least one hostile virtual object covered by the second aiming coverage area is less than or equal to the aiming capacity threshold of the first virtual weapon, determine each of the covered hostile virtual objects as the locked object.

[0090] In specific implementation, while the system is scanning the second aiming coverage area of the second sight in real time, it also monitors the number of hostile virtual objects within the second aiming coverage area. If the number of the hostile virtual objects covered by the second aiming coverage area does not exceed the aiming capacity threshold of the first virtual weapon, the system will automatically lock all the covered hostile virtual objects as the actual strike objects. This technical processing achieves efficient locking, ensures the accurate execution of the player's attack command, and optimizes the game combat experience.

[0091] Furthermore, after determining the at least one locked object aimed at by real-time scanning of the second aiming coverage area of the second sight in S401, these locked objects can be marked on the graphical user interface. By marking the locked objects, it can directly inform the player in advance how many enemy virtual objects the first virtual weapon will hit when firing bullets. That is, in a possible implementation manner, in response to the third trigger event for determining the at least one locked object aimed at by the second sight, display the lock identifiers of each of the locked objects on the graphical user interface.

[0092] In specific implementations, the specific display form of the locking identifier in the embodiments of the present application is not limited, and the key lies in facilitating players to view. The locking identifiers of each locked object can be the same or different. For example, visual effects such as highlighting, special outlines, marking symbols, or icon markings can be used to clearly identify the locked hostile virtual objects. Specifically, the locked object may be displayed with a red outline and accompanied by a flashing special effect, etc., which helps players quickly identify the locked state in a complex battlefield environment. This marking mechanism integrates real-time data processing and graphics rendering technologies to ensure the real-time update and accurate feedback of the marking information, thereby enhancing the player's battlefield perception ability and operation experience, and enhancing the interactivity and immersion of the game.

[0093] Furthermore, the locking identifiers of each locked object can be displayed differently depending on whether the main sight is aimed. That is, if the main sight of the second sight aims at the first locked object among the at least one locked object, the steps of displaying the locking identifiers of each of the locked objects on the graphical user interface include: displaying the locking identifier of the first locked object and the locking identifier of the second locked object in different display forms on the graphical user interface; the second locked object is the locked object other than the first locked object among the at least one locked object.

[0094] In specific implementations, if the main sight aims at a certain locked object, the locking identifier of this locked object will be clearly distinguished from other locked objects that are not aimed at by the main sight through unique visual effects (such as color change, increased flashing frequency, etc.). This design uses real-time rendering technology to dynamically adjust the display effect of the locking identifier according to the position of the main sight, enabling players to quickly perceive the hit situation of the main sight, thereby optimizing the aiming operation and improving the shooting accuracy and game experience.

[0095] Exemplarily, Figure 5 FIG. 3 shows a schematic diagram of the graphical user interface provided by the embodiments of the present application. Figure 6 FIG. 4 shows a schematic diagram of the graphical user interface provided by the embodiments of the present application. Figure 5 The shown graphical user interface is such that the main sight 242 of the second sight does not aim at any locked object. Figure 6 The shown graphical user interface is such that the main sight 242 of the second sight aims at the first locked object. Specifically, Figure 5 and Figure 6 On the shown graphical user interfaces, there are both displayed a second sight and the locking identifiers 25 of each locked object. The second sight includes an auxiliary aiming border 241 and a main sight 242. Among them, Figure 5 the display forms of the locking identifiers 25 in [reference numeral] are the same. Figure 6The display forms of the locking identifier 25 of the second locked object and the locking identifier 25 of the first locked object are different. The second locked object is other locked objects among the at least one locked object except the first locked object.

[0096] In addition, for the case where the main sight hits the first locked object, the main sight can also be highlighted, for example, adjusted to red, so that players can more clearly understand the situation of the main sight hitting and grasp the timing of precise shooting. That is, in a possible implementation manner, in response to determining the at least one locked object aimed at by the second sight and a fourth trigger event that the main sight of the second sight aims at the first locked object among the at least one locked object, the main sight of the second sight is highlighted on the graphical user interface.

[0097] In addition, when the number of locked objects aimed at by the second sight meets specific requirements, the state display of the auxiliary aiming border of the second sight can also be changed to prompt the player of the best operation timing. That is, in a possible implementation manner, in response to the number of locked objects aimed at by the second sight reaching the preset locking number of the first virtual weapon, the auxiliary aiming border of the second sight is highlighted on the graphical user interface.

[0098] Among them, the preset locking number can be the best number corresponding to the best state or the aiming capacity threshold corresponding to the extreme state. When the number of locked objects aimed at by the second sight reaches different preset locking numbers, the display form of the auxiliary aiming border of the second sight is different. For example, it is displayed in green in the best state and red in the extreme state, etc.

[0099] In a specific implementation, when the number of locked objects covered by the second sight is in the best state, that is, the damage effect of the first virtual weapon on these locked objects reaches the best. For example, if 3 locked objects are covered, each object shares a certain proportion of the damage and the comprehensive damage effect is the best. At this time, the auxiliary aiming border of the second sight on the game interface will be highlighted through highlighting, color change or animation effects, etc., intuitively prompting the player that the current is the ideal shooting timing and can efficiently kill the target. And when the number of covered objects reaches the extreme state, that is, reaches the aiming capacity threshold, such as 7, although the damage received by each locked object decreases and usually cannot be killed, as many targets as possible can be hit. This may involve maintaining the aiming angle in a very short time to cover a wider area. The system will also prompt the player through significant changes in the auxiliary aiming border (such as flashing, thickening the outline, etc.). This prompt mechanism combines real-time data processing and graphics rendering technologies, enabling players to quickly make shooting judgments in a dynamic battlefield environment, optimize shooting strategies, and enhance the game experience.

[0100] Exemplarily,Figure 7 FIG. 5 shows a schematic diagram of a graphical user interface provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 The shown graphical user interface includes three cases where the display form of the auxiliary aiming border of the second aiming sight is different when the number of locked objects covered by the second aiming sight of the first virtual weapon is different. Figure 7 (a) When the number of locked objects covered by the second aiming sight is 1, the display form of the auxiliary aiming border of the second aiming sight is the "conventional border form". Figure 7 (b) When the number of locked objects covered by the second aiming sight is 3, the display form of the auxiliary aiming border of the second aiming sight is the "bold border form". Figure 7 (c) When the number of locked objects covered by the second aiming sight is 7, the display form of the auxiliary aiming border of the second aiming sight is the "dashed border form". Among them, Figure 7 In (b), when the number of locked objects covered by the second aiming sight of the first virtual weapon is 3, it is in the optimal state, and the damage effect reaches the best at this time. Figure 7 In (c), when the number of locked objects covered by the second aiming sight of the first virtual weapon is 3, it is in the limit state, and the most targets are damaged at this time. In this way, by different display forms of the auxiliary aiming border, the player is prompted about the better timing of shooting.

[0101] S402: In response to the first trigger operation of the shooting instruction, control the controlled virtual object to use the first virtual weapon to fire bullets to strike at least one locked object; each of the locked objects is a hostile virtual object within the second aiming coverage area.

[0102] In a possible implementation manner, Figure 8 FIG. 8 is a flowchart of another control method in a shooting game provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 8 shown, the control method in the shooting game provided by the embodiment of the present application provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device, and the content displayed on the graphical user interface includes a first aiming sight, at least part of the game scene, and a plurality of hostile virtual objects located in the game scene; the method includes the following steps:

[0103] S801: In response to the third trigger operation of the shooting instruction, control the controlled virtual object to use the first virtual weapon to fire bullets to strike a hostile virtual object aimed at by the first aiming sight, and assign a first damage value to the struck hostile virtual object.

[0104] In a specific implementation, when the first sight of the first virtual weapon is displayed on the graphical user interface, if the player issues a shooting command and the first sight accurately aims at a hostile virtual object, the system will control the controlled virtual object to use the first virtual weapon to fire a bullet to strike the hostile virtual object. Since the aiming range of the first sight is relatively small and usually can only lock onto one target (unless two hostile targets overlap at different distances), the player needs to accurately aim to successfully hit the target. If hit, the struck hostile virtual object will bear the full damage ratio of the first virtual weapon and will usually be directly killed.

[0105] Generally, the first damage value is the damage value corresponding to the full ratio of the first virtual weapon, that is, the first damage value is the basic damage output value of the first virtual weapon under standard conditions, which is the inherent damage potential value designed for the first virtual weapon. However, in actual combat, the first damage value (actual damage value) assigned to the struck hostile virtual object is often dynamically adjusted due to various factors. For example, the bullet firing speed directly affects the time required to hit the target and the degree of energy loss. High-speed bullets may reduce the energy attenuation caused by too long flight time, thus making the first damage value closer to the theoretical basic damage output value, while low-speed bullets may make the first damage value slightly lower than the basic damage output value due to factors such as air resistance. Another example is that the damage differences for strikes on different parts are significant. Key parts such as the head usually have a higher damage coefficient, which can make the actual damage far exceed the basic damage output value to achieve special effects such as "one-shot kill", while non-key parts such as the limbs have a lower damage coefficient, and the first damage value will be lower than the basic damage output value.

[0106] S802: In response to the first trigger event, replace the first sight with the second sight and display it on the graphical user interface; both the first sight and the second sight are sights of the first virtual weapon currently used by the controlled virtual object, and the second aiming coverage area of the second sight is larger than the first aiming coverage area of the first sight.

[0107] S803: In response to the first trigger operation of the shooting command, control the controlled virtual object to use the first virtual weapon to fire a bullet to strike at least one locked object, and assign a second damage value to each struck locked object; each of the locked objects is a hostile virtual object within the second aiming coverage area, and the first damage value is greater than or equal to the second damage value.

[0108] In a specific implementation, when the second aiming sight of the first virtual weapon is displayed on the graphical user interface, if the player issues a shooting command and the second aiming coverage area of the second aiming sight covers multiple locked objects, the system will control the controlled virtual object to fire bullets using the first virtual weapon to strike these locked objects. Since the aiming range of the second aiming sight is wider than that of the first aiming sight, it is possible to hit multiple locked objects within the coverage area simultaneously without the player having to accurately aim through the main aiming sight. The locked objects that are hit will receive a certain percentage of the damage from the first virtual weapon. This damage percentage is usually lower than the damage percentage when shooting with the first aiming sight, which may cause the locked objects being struck to lose a certain amount of health but not necessarily be directly killed.

[0109] The following is an example of the allocation method for assigning the second damage value to each of the locked objects being struck in S803. Specifically, in different situations, the allocation method of the second damage value for each locked object determined by the second aiming coverage area of the second aiming sight is different. That is, the second damage value is assigned to each of the locked objects being struck according to the following steps: Determine the damage percentage of each locked object bearing the total damage value of the first virtual weapon based on the number of locked objects being struck, the distance between each locked object and the controlled virtual object, and whether the main aiming sight of the second aiming sight aims at any locked object, and assign the second damage value to each locked object.

[0110] In a specific implementation, the allocation method of the second damage value varies depending on the situation. The system dynamically calculates and allocates the second damage value through a specific algorithm based on the number of locked objects determined by the second aiming coverage area, the distance between each locked object and the controlled virtual object, and whether the main aiming sight aims at any locked object.

[0111] For example, when the number of locked objects is large, the total damage of the first virtual weapon will be distributed among more locked objects, resulting in a lower damage value for each locked object; locked objects that are closer may bear a higher damage percentage; if the main aiming sight aims at a certain locked object, that locked object will receive a higher damage percentage. This allocation method combines real-time data analysis and algorithm processing to ensure that the damage output is both reasonable and strategic in different combat scenarios.

[0112] The following is an example of several specific allocation methods. That is, the step of determining the damage percentage of each locked object bearing the total damage value of the first virtual weapon based on the number of locked objects being struck, the distance between each locked object and the controlled virtual object, and whether the main aiming sight of the second aiming sight aims at any locked object, and assigning the second damage value to each locked object includes the following situations:

[0113] Case 1: If each locked object is within the same distance range within the effective range, and the main sight does not aim at any locked object, then the damage value of the first virtual weapon is evenly distributed among the locked objects.

[0114] In a specific implementation, if the main sight does not aim at any locked object and each locked object is within the effective range of the first virtual weapon, multiple distance ranges can be preset within this effective range. According to the distance between each locked object and the controlled virtual object, the locked objects are divided into different distance ranges. The locked objects within the same distance range are assigned the same damage ratio, and the locked objects in different distance ranges are assigned different damage ratios. The smaller the distance range, the greater the corresponding assigned damage ratio. By measuring the distance in real time and intelligently distributing the damage value, it is ensured that the targets at close range receive higher damage, and the damage is distributed reasonably and efficiently.

[0115] Exemplarily, the effective range of the first virtual weapon is 100m, which is divided into three distance ranges: 10m - 30m, 30 - 60m, and 60m - 100m. There are 3 locked objects covered within the second aiming coverage area of the second sight, the main sight does not aim at any of the locked objects, and these 3 locked objects are all within the distance range of 30 - 60m. Then the damage is evenly distributed among these 3 locked objects, and the damage ratio of each locked object is 33.3%.

[0116] Case 2: If each locked object is within the same distance range within the effective range, and the main sight aims at the first locked object, then the first virtual weapon's damage value of the first preset ratio is assigned to the targeted first locked object, and the remaining second locked objects among the at least one locked object, excluding the first locked object, are evenly distributed the second virtual weapon's damage value of the second preset ratio; the sum of the first preset ratio and the second preset ratio is 1.

[0117] In a specific implementation, if the main sight aims at the first locked object, while the other second locked objects are within the effective range of the first virtual weapon and in the same distance range, the system will assign the first preset ratio of the first virtual weapon's damage to the first locked object. The remaining damage is then evenly distributed to the remaining second locked objects. The system monitors the positions and distances of each target in real time and dynamically adjusts the damage distribution through an intelligent algorithm to ensure that the main targeted object receives higher damage and improve the strike efficiency.

[0118] Here, a higher damage ratio is usually assigned to the first locked target that is normally aimed at by the main sight, while the remaining second locked targets that are not aimed at by the main sight jointly share the remaining damage ratio. This mechanism not only ensures that the main-aimed target receives a more severe blow, increasing the reward for precise shooting, but also reduces the damage received by other locked targets that are not aimed at by the main sight through an intelligent damage distribution algorithm, thereby motivating players to focus on precise shooting and enhancing the strategic depth and sense of operation of the game.

[0119] Exemplarily, within the second aiming coverage area of the second sight, there are 3 locked targets, namely Target A, Target B, and Target C. The main sight aims at Target A, and Target B and Target C are in the same distance range. Then, a damage ratio of 50% of the first virtual weapon is assigned to Target A, and Target B and Target C evenly share the remaining 50% of the damage of the first virtual weapon. That is, Target B and Target C are each assigned 25% of the damage of the first virtual weapon.

[0120] Case 3: If any locked target exceeds the effective range, a third preset ratio of the damage value of the first virtual weapon is assigned to the locked target that exceeds the effective range.

[0121] Here, for locked targets that are beyond the effective range of the first virtual weapon but still within the second aiming coverage area of the second sight, they can still be hit regardless of whether the main sight aims at any locked target. However, at this time, the damage received by these locked targets will be set according to a preset attenuation rule. For example, a smaller third preset ratio of the damage of the first virtual weapon is assigned to them. This mechanism ensures that even if the target is at the edge of the weapon's range, the player's attack can still have an effect, and at the same time, it simulates the real physical effect through the damage attenuation technology, reflecting the impact of the target distance on the shooting effect, further enriching the combat dimension and strategic considerations of the game.

[0122] Exemplarily, among the 3 locked targets covered within the second aiming coverage area of the second sight, namely Target A, Target B, and Target C, and the positions of Target B and Target C are both beyond the effective range of the first virtual weapon, then both Target B and Target C are assigned 5% of the damage of the first virtual weapon. If the main sight aims at Target A, then 50% of the damage of the first virtual weapon is assigned to Target A.

[0123] Case 4: If there is only one locked target, the entire damage value of the first virtual weapon is assigned to the locked target.

[0124] In specific implementation, if there is only one locked target covered within the second aiming coverage area of the second sight, regardless of whether the main sight aims at this locked target, the entire damage value of the first virtual weapon is assigned to this locked target, that is, a damage ratio of 100% is assigned.

[0125] Among them, the specific ratios of the first preset ratio, the second preset ratio, and the third preset ratio involved in the embodiments of the present application are not limited, and can be specifically configured according to the specific type of the game, the type of the virtual weapon, etc.

[0126] It can be understood that during the operation of the game, there are situations where players switch virtual weapons. The following specifically describes the weapon switching situation. That is, in a possible implementation manner, after the step of replacing the first aiming sight with the second aiming sight on the graphical user interface in S101, the method further includes: in response to a second trigger operation of a weapon switching instruction, controlling the controlled virtual object to switch the currently used first virtual weapon to a second virtual weapon, and replacing the second aiming sight with a third aiming sight on the graphical user interface for display; wherein, the third aiming sight is the aiming sight of the second virtual weapon, and the display form of the third aiming sight is different from the display form of the second aiming sight.

[0127] In a specific implementation, after the embodiments of the present application activate the assisted aiming skill for the controlled virtual character, if the player switches weapons during the operation of the game, the assisted aiming skill can still be used. Specifically, although the third aiming sight corresponding to the switched second virtual weapon will be displayed on the graphical user interface, both the third aiming sight and the previous second aiming sight are composite aiming sights, and their functions are to expand the aiming range. Only the display forms of the two change because of the corresponding virtual weapons. For example, after switching weapons, the size, shape, or color of the composite aiming sight may be adjusted according to the characteristics of the new weapon, but still maintain its core function of expanding the aiming range.

[0128] Furthermore, the display forms of the third aiming sight and the second aiming sight include at least one of the following different forms: the display form of the main aiming sight in the second aiming sight is different from the display form of the main aiming sight in the third aiming sight; the display form of the assisted aiming border in the second aiming sight is different from the display form of the assisted aiming border in the third aiming sight; the second aiming coverage area of the second aiming sight is different from the third aiming coverage area of the third aiming sight.

[0129] In specific implementations, the sight forms of different virtual weapons are set differently, taking into account various factors such as the type, range, and aiming range of the virtual weapons. For example, different types of virtual weapons, such as sniper rifles, shotguns, and submachine guns, have different uses, and their corresponding sight forms need to adapt to the corresponding combat requirements. For weapons with a longer range, the display form of the sight should facilitate the shooter to accurately locate the target at a long distance, and its aiming coverage area will be relatively large to adapt to the search and capture of long-distance targets; while for weapons with a shorter range, the sight form focuses more on quick aiming and shooting at close range, and the aiming coverage area is relatively small to avoid interfering with the accurate locking of nearby targets. In short, the differential design of the sight form aims to enable different weapons to exert the best aiming efficiency in their respective applicable scenarios and distances, improving the accuracy and hit rate of shooting.

[0130] Exemplarily, Figure 9 FIG. 6 shows a schematic diagram of the graphical user interface provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 9 The shown graphical user interface includes the display forms of the compound sights (second sights) of three virtual weapons. Figure 9 (a) shows the display form of the compound sight of a rifle. Figure 9 (b) shows the display form of the compound sight of a submachine gun. Figure 9 (c) shows the display form of the compound sight of a pistol. The main sight display forms of the rifle, submachine gun, and pistol are different, the display forms of the auxiliary aiming borders of the rifle, submachine gun, and pistol are different, and the sizes of the aiming coverage areas of the rifle, submachine gun, and pistol are also different.
