[0002] In SLG (Simulation Game) games, players can control troops on the march. Once the player sets a destination, the troops will march towards it. If the troops have multiple destinations, the player must first set the first destination. Once the troops reach that destination, the player can then set the next destination, controlling the troops' march to the next destination. This method requires the player to set destinations multiple times during the march, making the process more cumbersome. Summary of the Invention

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] In SLG (Simulation Game) games, players can control troops to march. When the player completes the setting of a destination, the troops can march towards the destination.

[0024] When a unit has multiple destinations, the player needs to complete the settings for the first destination first. After the unit reaches the first destination, the player needs to complete the settings for the next destination, thus controlling the unit's march to the next destination, and so on. This method requires the player to set destinations multiple times during the unit's march, which is quite cumbersome.

[0025] Based on this, an interactive control method, device, and electronic device for a game provided by an embodiment of the present invention can be applied to a game scenario for setting a destination during a march.

[0026] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the interactive control method for a game can be run on a local terminal device or a server. When the interactive control method for a game is run on a server, the method can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interactive system, wherein the cloud interactive system includes a server and a client device.

[0027] In an optional embodiment, various cloud applications, such as cloud games, can be run under the cloud interaction system. Taking cloud games as an example, cloud games refer to a gaming method based on cloud computing. In the cloud gaming operation mode, the operating body of the game program and the main body of the game screen presentation are separated. The storage and operation of the interactive control method of the game are completed on the cloud gaming server. The role of the client device is to receive and send data and present 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, TV, computer, PDA, etc.; but the cloud gaming server in the cloud is responsible for information processing. When playing the game, the player operates the client device to send operation instructions to the cloud gaming server. The cloud gaming server runs the game according to the operation instructions, 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.

[0028] In an optional embodiment, taking a game as an example, a local terminal device stores a game program and is used to present the game screen. The local terminal device is used to interact with the player through a graphical user interface, that is, conventionally downloading and installing the game program through an electronic device and running it. The local terminal device can provide the graphical user interface to the player in a variety of ways, for example, it can be rendered and displayed on the terminal's display screen, or provided to the player through holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device may include a display screen and a processor, the display screen is used to present the graphical user interface, the graphical user interface includes the game screen, and 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.

[0029] In one possible implementation, an embodiment of the present invention provides an interactive control method for a game, providing a graphical user interface through a terminal device, wherein the terminal device can be the local terminal device mentioned above, or it can be a client device in the cloud interactive system mentioned above.

[0030] The above-mentioned graphical user interface displays at least part of the scene screen of the game scene, which may include virtual objects and virtual strongholds; for example, land, mountains, rivers, fortresses, etc. may be distributed in the game scene, and virtual objects can move in the game scene. For example, virtual objects can march towards a set destination in units of troops, legions, generals, etc.; virtual strongholds can be plots of land, cities, etc.

[0031] In this embodiment, the player performs interactive operations on the terminal device, and the terminal device can save the data information corresponding to the interactive operations and control the virtual objects. Figure 1 As shown, the interactive control method of the game includes the following steps:

[0032] Step S102, in response to the path drawing operation for the virtual object, drawing a marching path in the game scene;

[0033] The path drawing operation includes but is not limited to a click operation, a double-click operation, a long press operation, a slide operation, and a drag operation; when the path drawing operation is applied to a graphical user interface, there is a corresponding operation contact point in the graphical user interface.

[0034] In one implementation, a terminal device receives a path drawing operation for a virtual object. For example, in a graphical user interface of a touch terminal device, a player controls a first touching finger to touch a virtual object and continuously performs a sliding operation or a dragging operation. Then, the terminal device can control the shooting angle of the game scene to always face the operation touch point of the path drawing operation, and display at least part of the scene screen in the graphical user interface with the operation touch point of the path drawing operation as the center. Moreover, a marching path is drawn in the game scene according to the moving path of the operation touch point of the path drawing operation.

[0035] In an optional implementation, when the operating point of the path drawing operation moves in the graphical user interface, a path indicator, such as an arrow, a solid line, a dotted line, a dashed line, etc., can be displayed in the game scene according to the moving path of the operating point. The path indicator can be displayed in a target display format, such as a color format, a line format, etc., to indicate the marching path during the drawing process.

[0036] Step S104: while the path drawing operation is ongoing, in response to at least one waypoint confirmation operation, generating at least one marching waypoint on the marching path based on the operation touch point of the path drawing operation when the waypoint confirmation operation is triggered; wherein the number of the marching waypoints matches the number of the waypoint confirmation operations;

[0037] The waypoint confirmation operation includes but is not limited to a click operation, a double-click operation, a long press operation, a slide operation, and a drag operation; if the operation type of the waypoint confirmation operation is different, then the type of the march waypoint corresponding to the waypoint confirmation operation is usually different.

[0038] The above-mentioned marching waypoints can be understood as the destinations of the virtual objects during the marching process. There can be one or more marching waypoints. When there are multiple marching waypoints, the types of marching waypoints can be the same or different. Different types of marching waypoints can be configured with different tasks, such as stop tasks, patrol tasks, attack tasks, support tasks, etc.

[0039] While the path drawing operation is ongoing, the terminal device receives a waypoint confirmation operation. For example, in the graphical user interface, the player performs a click operation or a slide operation to trigger the waypoint confirmation operation. Then, the terminal device can generate a marching waypoint at the scene position corresponding to the operation touch point of the path drawing operation when the waypoint confirmation operation is triggered.

[0040] It can be understood that while the path drawing operation continues, if the terminal device receives at least one waypoint confirmation operation, then at least one marching waypoint is generated on the marching path; that is, the number of marching waypoints matches the number of waypoint confirmation operations.

[0041] The above method sets at least one marching waypoint through the coordination of the path drawing operation and the waypoint confirmation operation, thereby simplifying the setting of the destination during the march.

[0042] Step S106, in response to the path drawing end operation, controlling the virtual object to march along the marching path;

[0043] The path drawing end operation includes but is not limited to a click operation, a double-click operation, a long press operation, a slide operation, and a drag operation; the path drawing end operation may also be the disappearance of the operation contact of the path drawing operation.

[0044] In one implementation, the terminal device receives a path drawing end operation, for example, the player lifts the first touch finger that performs the path drawing operation, then the continuous path drawing operation is disconnected, and the operation contact disappears at this time, that is, the marching path drawing is completed; then the terminal device can control the virtual object to march according to the drawn marching path, and the virtual object can start from the object position of the virtual object and march to at least one marching point on the marching path in sequence.

[0045] In an optional implementation, after the terminal device receives the path drawing completion operation, the path indicator displayed in the game scene is updated to a path identifier, which is usually different from the path indicator identifier to indicate the completed marching path.

[0046] Step S108 : When the virtual object marches to a marching waypoint, the virtual object is controlled to execute a waypoint task that matches the waypoint type of the marching waypoint.

[0047] The waypoint types include but are not limited to parking waypoints, patrol waypoints, attack waypoints, and support waypoints. Different waypoint types usually match different waypoint tasks.

[0048] The above-mentioned waypoint tasks can be configured according to the waypoint types of the marching waypoints. For example, when the waypoint types are respectively stop waypoints, patrol waypoints, attack waypoints, and support waypoints, the waypoint tasks can be respectively stop tasks, patrol tasks, attack tasks, and support tasks.

[0049] In one implementation, when the terminal device controls the virtual object to march to a marching waypoint on the marching path, it controls the virtual object to perform a waypoint task that matches the waypoint type of the marching waypoint at the marching waypoint; then it controls the virtual object to continue marching to the next marching waypoint, and so on.

[0050] In this method, the marching waypoints generated on the marching path have been configured with waypoint types, so that the virtual objects can be controlled to automatically execute waypoint tasks matching the waypoint types at the marching waypoints, saving players' game time.

[0051] The interactive control method of the above-mentioned game provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device, and the graphical user interface displays at least a part of the scene screen of the game scene; the game scene includes virtual objects; in response to a path drawing operation for the virtual object, a marching path is drawn in the game scene; while the path drawing operation continues, in response to at least one waypoint confirmation operation, based on the operation contact of the path drawing operation when the waypoint confirmation operation is triggered, at least one marching waypoint is generated on the marching path; wherein the number of waypoints of the marching waypoints matches the operation number of the waypoint confirmation operation; in response to the path drawing end operation, the virtual object is controlled to march along the marching path; when the virtual object marches to the marching waypoint, the virtual object is controlled to execute a waypoint task that matches the waypoint type of the marching waypoint.

[0052] In this method, during the process of performing a path drawing operation on a virtual object, a marching waypoint is generated according to the operation contact of the path drawing operation when the waypoint confirmation operation is triggered. Then, during the marching process of the virtual object, it is controlled to perform the waypoint task according to the waypoint type of each marching waypoint, which simplifies the setting of the destination during the march and improves the game operation experience.

[0053] In one method, the marching waypoints include multiple, and the arrangement order of the multiple marching waypoints is determined according to the operation order of the waypoint confirmation operations corresponding to the multiple marching waypoints; the object position of the virtual object is the starting point of the marching path, and the end point of the marching path is the last marching waypoint.

[0054] In actual implementation, when there are multiple waypoint confirmation operations, the marching path includes multiple marching waypoints, and the marching path usually takes the object position of the virtual object as the path starting point and the last marching waypoint as the path end point; for multiple marching waypoints on the marching path, the terminal device can determine the arrangement order of the multiple marching waypoints according to the operation order of the waypoint confirmation operations.

[0055] The following embodiments provide specific implementation methods for drawing a marching route.

[0056] In one implementation, in response to a first sliding operation starting from the virtual object, a marching path is drawn in the game scene based on the sliding path of the first sliding operation.

[0057] The first sliding operation may be a sliding operation on a virtual object in the graphical user interface in any direction; the first sliding operation takes the virtual object as a starting point.

[0058] In one example, the terminal device receives a first sliding operation starting from a virtual object, for example, the player controls the first touching finger to touch the virtual object and slide continuously; then the terminal device can draw a marching path in the game scene according to the sliding path of the first sliding operation on the graphical user interface, for example, the marching path can be drawn according to the moving path of the operating contact of the first sliding operation.

[0059] In one embodiment, in response to a first sliding operation starting from a virtual object, a path indicator is displayed in the game scene; wherein the path indicator starts from the virtual object and ends at the operation touch point of the first sliding operation.

[0060] After the terminal device receives the first sliding operation starting from the virtual object, a path indication mark may be displayed in the game scene with the virtual object as the starting point and the operation touch point of the first sliding operation as the end point, such as Figure 2 In the example of FIG, the path indication mark is displayed as a dotted line with the virtual object as the starting point and the operation touch point of the first sliding operation as the end point.

[0061] In one implementation, while the first sliding operation continues, in response to at least one waypoint confirmation operation, at least one marching waypoint is generated on the marching path based on the operation contact of the first sliding operation when the waypoint confirmation operation is triggered.

[0062] In actual implementation, the terminal device receives a continuous first sliding operation, for example, the player controls the first touch finger to slide continuously; when the first sliding operation continues, the waypoint confirmation operation serves as a trigger condition for generating a marching waypoint. If the terminal device receives at least one waypoint confirmation operation, then the operation contact of the first sliding operation when the waypoint confirmation operation is triggered can be obtained, and then at least one marching waypoint is generated on the marching path based on at least one operation contact of the first sliding operation.

[0063] In one optional manner, while the first sliding operation continues, in response to the first waypoint confirmation operation, a first waypoint is generated at the scene location where the operating contact point of the first sliding operation was located when the first waypoint confirmation operation was triggered; a waypoint identifier of the first waypoint is displayed in the game scene, and a path indicator identifier is displayed with the virtual object as the starting point and the first waypoint as the end point;

[0064] While the first sliding operation continues, in response to the second waypoint confirmation operation, a second marching waypoint is generated at the scene position where the operating touch point of the first sliding operation is located when the second waypoint confirmation operation is triggered; the waypoint identifier of the second marching waypoint is displayed in the game scene, and the path indication identifier with the first marching waypoint as the starting point and the second marching waypoint as the end point is displayed.

[0065] The first waypoint confirmation operation generally refers to the first waypoint confirmation operation when the first sliding operation is continued. The waypoint identifier of the first march waypoint generally corresponds to the type of the first march waypoint; the waypoint identifier can specifically be text, an icon, etc.

[0066] The second waypoint confirmation operation generally refers to a waypoint confirmation operation other than the first waypoint confirmation operation while the first sliding operation is continued. The waypoint identifier of the second march waypoint generally corresponds to the type of the second march waypoint; the waypoint identifier can specifically be text, an icon, etc.

[0067] In one example, if the terminal device receives a first sliding operation and a first waypoint confirmation operation at the same time, the scene position of the operation touch point of the first sliding operation when the first waypoint confirmation operation is triggered can be obtained, and a first marching waypoint can be generated at the scene position; and, based on the type of the first marching waypoint, a waypoint identifier of the first marching waypoint can be displayed, and then a path indication identifier can be displayed with the virtual object as the starting point and the first marching waypoint as the end point; Figure 3 In the example, the waypoint marker of the first marching waypoint is displayed as a gray circular marker, that is, the type of the first marching waypoint is a stop, and the path indication marker is displayed as a dotted line with the virtual object as the starting point and the first marching waypoint as the end point.

[0068] In another example, if the terminal device receives a first sliding operation and a second waypoint confirmation operation at the same time, then the scene position of the operation touch point of the first sliding operation when the second waypoint confirmation operation is triggered can be obtained, and a second marching waypoint can be generated at this scene position; and, the waypoint identifier of the second marching waypoint can be displayed according to the type of the second marching waypoint, and then the path indication identifier can be displayed with the first marching waypoint as the starting point and the second marching waypoint as the end point.

[0069] In an optional manner, in response to the first sliding operation, the operating contact point is located in a legal area preset in the game scene, and the path indication mark is displayed in a first display format; wherein, the legal area has the authority to generate marching waypoints; in response to the first sliding operation, the operating contact point is located in an illegal area preset in the game scene, and the path indication mark is displayed in a second display format; wherein, the illegal area does not have the authority to generate marching waypoints; the second display format is different from the first display format.

[0070] The first display format indicates that the scene location where the operating contact point of the first sliding operation is located is a valid area; the first display format may specifically be a color format, a bold format, etc. The second display format indicates that the scene location where the operating contact point of the first sliding operation is located is an invalid area; the second display format may specifically be a color format, a highlight format, etc. It should be noted that the second display format is different from the first display format.

[0071] In one example, the game scene is preset with a legal area, such as a virtual plot, which has the authority to generate marching waypoints, that is, marching waypoints can be generated in the legal area; if the operating contact point of the first sliding operation received by the terminal device is located in the legal area preset in the game scene, then the path indication mark is displayed in the first display format, thereby indicating that the scene position where the current operating contact point is located can generate marching waypoints.

[0072] In another example, the game scene is preset with an illegal area, such as a virtual plot, which does not have the authority to generate marching waypoints, that is, marching waypoints cannot be generated in the legal area; if the operating contact point of the first sliding operation received by the terminal device is located in the illegal area preset in the game scene, then the path indication mark is displayed in the second display format, thereby indicating that the scene position where the current operating contact point is located cannot generate marching waypoints.

[0073] In one implementation, while the path drawing operation continues, in response to at least one waypoint confirmation operation, a waypoint type of the march waypoint is determined based on the operation type of the waypoint confirmation operation.

[0074] This operation type corresponds to the waypoint confirmation operation, and can specifically be a click operation, double-click operation, long press operation, slide operation, drag operation, or other operation types.

[0075] While the path drawing operation is continuing, the operation type of the waypoint confirmation operation is used as a condition for determining the type of the marching waypoint; if the terminal device receives at least one waypoint confirmation operation, then after determining the operation type for each waypoint confirmation operation, the waypoint type of the marching waypoint corresponding to each waypoint confirmation operation is determined based on the operation type of each waypoint confirmation operation, and the waypoint type of at least one marching waypoint is obtained. For example, the waypoint type can be a stop waypoint, a patrol waypoint, a capture waypoint, a support waypoint, etc.

[0076] In one embodiment, when the operation type of the waypoint confirmation operation is a click operation, the waypoint type of the marching waypoint is a stop waypoint; wherein, the stop waypoint is used to: control the virtual object to perform a stop task at the stop waypoint; when the operation type of the waypoint confirmation operation is a slide operation, the waypoint type of the marching waypoint is a patrol waypoint; wherein, the patrol waypoint is used to: control the virtual object to perform a patrol task at the patrol waypoint.

[0077] In one example, if the waypoint confirmation operation type is a click operation (e.g., the player controls a second touch finger to perform a click operation on a graphical user interface), the waypoint type of the marching waypoint is a stop waypoint. In actual implementation, if the marching waypoint reached by the virtual object along the marching path is a stop waypoint, the virtual object is controlled to perform a stop task at the stop waypoint. Optionally, the stop target is preset with a stop duration threshold. When the virtual object's stop duration meets the stop duration threshold, it moves to the next waypoint.

[0078] In another example, when the operation type of the waypoint confirmation operation is a sliding operation, for example, the player controls the second touch finger to perform a sliding operation on the graphical user interface, then the waypoint type of the marching waypoint is a patrol waypoint; in actual implementation, if the marching waypoint reached by the virtual object along the marching path is a patrol waypoint, then the virtual object is controlled to perform a patrol task at the patrol waypoint.

[0079] In an optional manner, when the operation type of the waypoint confirmation operation is a double-click operation, the waypoint type of the march waypoint is an attack waypoint; wherein the attack target is used to: control the virtual object to perform an attack mission at the attack waypoint.

[0080] When the operation type of the waypoint confirmation operation is a double-click operation, for example, the player controls the second touch finger to perform a double-click operation on the graphical user interface, then the waypoint type of the marching waypoint is an attack waypoint; in actual implementation, if the marching waypoint reached by the virtual object along the marching path is an attack waypoint, then the virtual object is controlled to perform an attack task at the attack waypoint.

[0081] In the above method, while executing the path drawing operation, the waypoint type is configured for the marching waypoint according to the operation type of the waypoint confirmation operation. Different waypoint types are used to perform different tasks, which is conducive to improving game efficiency and saving players' time.

[0082] In one implementation, while the path drawing operation continues, in response to at least one second sliding operation, a patrol path for the marching waypoint is generated based on the operation parameters of the second sliding operation.

[0083] The second sliding operation can be applied to any scene location in the graphical user interface and in any direction; this second sliding operation is different from the first sliding operation described above. The patrol path is the path that the virtual object takes when performing patrol tasks at a patrol point; the patrol path is typically configured with parameters such as path length and path shape.

[0084] While the path drawing operation continues, if the terminal device receives at least one second sliding operation, then the operation parameters for each second sliding operation are obtained, such as sliding distance, sliding direction, duration, etc.; the terminal device can generate a patrol path for the marching point corresponding to each second sliding operation based on the operation parameters of each second sliding operation, and obtain a patrol path for at least one marching point.

[0085] Specifically, the patrol path is generated around the marching waypoint with the marching waypoint as the center. For example, the patrol path can be a closed loop path of a specified shape centered on the marching waypoint, and the specified shape is usually pre-set, such as a circle, a rectangle, or other arbitrary shapes.

[0086] In one implementation, in response to the second sliding operation, a sub-path identifier is displayed on the graphical user interface; in response to the end of the second sliding operation, the sub-path indicated by the sub-path identifier is determined as a patrol path for the marching waypoint.

[0087] The sub-path marker can indicate the patrol path of the waypoint. For example, the sub-path marker can be an arrow, a solid line, a dashed line, a dotted line, etc. The sub-path marker can also be configured with a shape. In one example, the sub-path marker is displayed as a circle centered at the waypoint, or as a line segment with the waypoint as an endpoint.

[0088] When the terminal device receives the second sliding operation, a sub-path identifier is generated for the marching waypoint and the sub-path identifier is displayed on the graphical user interface. For example, the sub-path identifier can be pre-configured or generated based on the operating contact of the second sliding operation; if the terminal receives the end of the second sliding operation, for example, the player lifts the second touch finger that performs the second sliding operation, and the continuous second sliding operation is disconnected, that is, the second sliding operation ends, then the terminal device can determine the sub-path indicated by the sub-path identifier as the patrol path for the marching waypoint.

[0089] In a specific implementation, a sub-path length is determined based on the sliding distance of the second sliding operation; and a patrol path corresponding to the sub-path length is generated.

[0090] That is, the operational parameters of the second sliding operation may include a sliding distance, which generally corresponds to the sub-path length. The sliding distance may specifically be the linear distance between the active contact point of the second sliding operation and the initial contact point, or the distance the operating contact point of the second sliding operation moves on the graphical user interface. A longer sliding distance corresponds to a longer sub-path length, while a shorter sliding distance corresponds to a shorter sub-path length.

[0091] After the terminal device receives the second sliding operation, the sub-path length can be determined according to the sliding distance of the second sliding operation. For example, the longer the sliding distance, the longer the line segment with the marching waypoint as the endpoint; or the longer the sliding distance, the longer the circumference of the circle generated for the marching waypoint. Figure 4 In the example, the longer the sliding distance of the second sliding operation, the longer the circumference of the circle formed with the waypoint as the center, that is, the larger the radius corresponding to the sub-path length. After the terminal device determines the sub-path length, it generates a patrol path corresponding to the sub-path length.

[0092] In a specific implementation, a sub-path shape is determined based on the sliding direction of the second sliding operation; and a patrol path corresponding to the sub-path shape is generated.

[0093] That is, the operation parameter of the second sliding operation may include a sliding direction, which generally corresponds to a sub-path shape.

[0094] After the terminal device receives the second sliding operation, the sub-path shape can be determined based on the sliding direction of the second sliding operation. For example, a shape control is generated for the operating contact of the second sliding operation, and the shape control is divided into multiple areas, each area containing a shape, and the multiple shapes contained in the multiple areas are different. When the sliding direction of the second sliding operation points to the target area, the shape corresponding to the target area is determined as the sub-path shape. After the terminal device determines the sub-path shape, it generates a patrol path corresponding to the sub-path shape.

[0095] In one embodiment, in response to a second sliding operation, a shape identifier of at least one alternative shape is displayed on a graphical user interface; wherein, different shape identifiers are located in different relative directions of the operating contact point of the second sliding operation; in response to the continuation of the second sliding operation, the alternative shape matching the sliding direction of the second sliding operation is determined as a sub-path shape.

[0096] The candidate shapes include but are not limited to circle, rectangle, and triangle, and different candidate shapes are preset with different shape identifiers.

[0097] After the terminal device receives the second sliding operation, one or more shape identifiers of alternative shapes are displayed in the graphical user interface; it should be noted that when there are multiple shape identifiers of alternative shapes, if the shape identifiers displayed in the graphical user interface are different, the relative directions of the different shape identifiers and the operating contacts of the second sliding operation are different.

[0098] like Figure 5 , the alternative shapes are triangle, circle, and square, which respectively correspond to shape identifier 1 located on the right side of the operating contact of the second sliding operation, shape identifier 2 located above the operating contact of the second sliding operation, and shape identifier 3 located on the left side of the operating contact of the second sliding operation.

[0099] When the second sliding operation continues, for example, the player controls the second touch finger to slide toward the shape identifier displayed in the graphical user interface; the terminal device can determine an alternative shape that matches the sliding direction of the second sliding operation, and then determine the alternative shape that matches the sliding direction as the sub-path shape. Figure 5 In the example, if the alternative shape is a square, the player can control the second touch finger to slide toward the shape mark 3, that is, the sliding direction of the second sliding operation is the left direction.

[0100] The following embodiments provide specific implementation methods for controlling a virtual object to march along a marching path.

[0101] In one implementation, the starting point and end point of the marching path are determined to be the same, and the virtual object is controlled to execute the marching task cyclically along the marching path. The marching task can be understood as the virtual object needing to execute the waypoint task at each marching point on the marching path while marching along the marching path.

[0102] In one example, when a marching path includes a marching waypoint, if the player triggers the waypoint confirmation operation twice and sets the marching waypoint corresponding to the second waypoint confirmation operation at the starting point of the path, that is, the marching path forms a line segment, then the terminal device receives that the starting point and the end point of the marching path are the same, and can control the virtual object to perform the marching task repeatedly along the line segment.

[0103] In another example, when a marching path includes two or more marching waypoints, if the player triggers the waypoint confirmation operation three or more times and sets the last marching waypoint at the starting point of the path, the marching path forms a closed loop, such as Figure 6 , then the starting point and the end point of the marching path received by the terminal device are the same, and the virtual object can be controlled to perform the marching task repeatedly according to the closed loop; for example, the virtual object can circle the city in the game scene and perform the marching task repeatedly according to the closed loop marching path.

[0104] In one implementation, in response to a virtual object moving to a designated marching waypoint, and the waypoint type of the designated marching waypoint is a patrol waypoint, the virtual object is controlled to perform a patrol mission along the patrol path of the designated marching waypoint; wherein the waypoint type of the designated marching waypoint is a patrol waypoint; in response to the virtual object completing the patrol mission along the patrol path, the virtual object is controlled to march to the next marching waypoint of the designated marching waypoint.

[0105] While the terminal device is controlling a virtual object to march along a marching path, if the virtual object moves to a designated waypoint on the marching path, and the designated waypoint's waypoint type is a patrol waypoint, the terminal device can control the virtual object to perform a patrol mission along the patrol path at the designated waypoint. After the virtual object completes its patrol mission along the patrol path, the terminal device can control the virtual object to move from the designated waypoint to the next one. When the virtual object reaches the next waypoint, the terminal device can control the virtual object to perform the waypoint mission corresponding to the next waypoint, based on the waypoint type of the next waypoint.

[0106] The above embodiments of the present application have the following advantages:

[0107] This embodiment can more flexibly set the destination of the troops' march through the operation of two hands, thereby completing the drawing of the marching path. In addition, the type of destination can be set during the drawing of the marching path, thereby controlling the troops to perform corresponding tasks at the destination, such as patrolling the surrounding area at the destination, which makes the operation more convenient. By setting the last destination at the starting point, the troops can march in a circle on a closed-loop marching path.
