Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of computers, in particular to a virtual building control method and device, a storage medium and an electronic device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the control scene of a virtual building, the position of a previous virtual building is usually relied on, and only a specific angle and a specific way can be used for splicing, so that the arrangement and combination between virtual buildings are very fixed, and players are more limited in experiencing the building gameplay, and the degree of freedom is low.

[0003] If the control of the virtual building is completely open, and each virtual building is free and independent, although this control method eliminates the limitation, it increases the complexity of the control of the virtual building, and further reduces the control efficiency of the virtual building.

[0031] According to an aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a control method of a virtual building is provided. Optionally, as an optional implementation, the above-mentioned control method of a virtual building can be applied in, but is not limited to, the environment as shown in Figure 1 . Wherein, it can include, but is not limited to, a user device 102 and a server 112, the user device 102 can include, but is not limited to, a display 104, a processor 106 and a memory 108, and the server 112 includes a database 114 and a processing engine 116.

[0032] The specific process can be as follows:

[0033] Step S102, the user equipment 102 obtains operation information of a control operation (such as a first control operation, a second control operation, etc.);

[0034] Step S104, sending the operation information to the server 112 via the network 110;

[0035] Step S106: The server 112 obtains a control screen corresponding to the operation information through the processing engine 116, such as a second virtual building placed at the splicing position of the first virtual building, and the second virtual building rotates.

[0036] In step S108 , the control screen is sent to the user device 102 via the network 110 . The user device 102 displays the control screen on the display 104 via the processor 106 and stores the control screen in the memory 108 .

[0037] remove Figure 1 In addition to the examples shown, the above-mentioned terminal device can be a terminal device configured with a target client, which can include but is not limited to at least one of the following: a mobile phone (such as an Android phone, an iOS phone, etc.), a laptop computer, a tablet computer, a PDA, an MID (Mobile Internet Devices), a PAD, a desktop computer, a smart TV, etc. The target client can be a video client, an instant messaging client, a browser client, an education client, etc. The above-mentioned network can include but is not limited to: a wired network, a wireless network, wherein the wired network includes: a local area network, a metropolitan area network and a wide area network, and the wireless network includes: Bluetooth, WIFI and other networks that realize wireless communication. The above-mentioned server can be a single server, or it can be a server cluster composed of multiple servers, or a cloud server. The above is only an example, and no limitation is made to this in this embodiment.

[0038] Alternatively, as an optional implementation, Figure 2 As shown, the control method of the virtual building can be executed by an electronic device, which can be, for example, Figure 1 The user device or server shown in the figure includes the following steps:

[0039] S202, displaying a first virtual building that has been placed and a second virtual building to be placed;

[0040] S204, in response to the first control operation performed on the second virtual building, displaying the second virtual building placed at the splicing position of the first virtual building, wherein the virtual building placed at the splicing position is set to have a splicing relationship with the first virtual building;

[0041] S206, in response to the second control operation performed on the second virtual building, displaying the second virtual building rotating while maintaining the splicing relationship between the second virtual building and the first virtual building.

[0042] Optionally, in the present embodiment, the above-mentioned control method of virtual buildings can be applied in a virtual game with a building system or building gameplay, in which a plurality of selectable virtual buildings are provided for players to freely arrange and place by control operations, so as to combine the virtual buildings into various shaped buildings.

[0043] Specifically, when the player selects and places the first virtual building, the virtual game clearly displays the position and state of the building. Subsequently, when the player selects the second virtual building to be placed and performs the first control operation, the virtual game can intelligently calculate the optimal splicing position between the second virtual building and the first virtual building, and immediately display the effect after placement. In this process, the virtual game automatically establishes the splicing relationship between the two virtual buildings to ensure that they can be stably connected together.

[0044] More importantly, when the player wants to further adjust the position or orientation of the second virtual building, they can perform the second control operation. At this time, the virtual game allows the second virtual building to rotate while maintaining the splicing relationship with the first virtual building. This function greatly increases the freedom of the player, allowing them to flexibly adjust the direction and angle of the building according to their own creativity and needs, creating a more rich and unique building layout.

[0045] Through the above-mentioned control method of virtual buildings, the virtual game not only retains the accuracy and stability of traditional building gameplay, but also provides players with more creativity and freedom by introducing flexible rotation operations.

[0046] Optionally, in the present embodiment, the splicing position can refer to the position at which two or more virtual buildings or model components can be stably connected together during the splicing process of virtual buildings or models. This position can be determined based on pre-designed interfaces, notches, connection points or suction points to ensure that virtual buildings or model components can form a whole after splicing and maintain the stability and integrity of the structure.

[0047] Specifically, in a virtual reality game or application, when a player attempts to place a virtual building or component on another, the virtual reality game or application detects and identifies possible splicing positions. These positions can be displayed in the game interface using highlights, indicators or other visual aids to help players accurately place buildings or components.

[0048] Once the player places the building or component in the correct snapping position, the virtual reality game or application can ensure a stable connection between the two through some mechanism such as suction, locking, or automatic alignment. In this way, the player can continue to add more buildings or components on this basis, thereby constructing a more complex and complete virtual structure or scene.

[0049] Specifically, through the response mechanism of the first control operation, the player can easily place the second virtual building in the snapping position of the first virtual building and ensure a stable snapping relationship between the two, improving the control efficiency of virtual buildings.

[0050] Further, for example, in a virtual Lego building game, the player has already built a base block (first virtual building) and now wants to add a decorative roof block (second virtual building) on top. When the player places the roof block in the snapping position of the base block through dragging, clicking, or other operation methods (first control operation), the game will immediately respond by displaying the roof block in the correct snapping position of the base block and ensuring a stable connection between the two.

[0051] Optionally, in the present embodiment, the snapping relationship can refer to a connection or combination relationship established between two or more virtual objects (such as buildings, model components, etc.) in a virtual environment. This relationship ensures that these objects can be stably connected together in a predetermined manner to form a complete structure or model.

[0052] In addition, the snapping relationship can be established based on some pre-set rules and conditions. These rules and conditions may involve the shape, size, interface design, and other physical characteristics of the objects. For example, in a virtual building game, two building models may have matching interfaces that the virtual building game automatically recognizes and establishes a snapping relationship when they are close, allowing the two buildings to be tightly connected together.

[0053] Optionally, in the present embodiment, in response to the second control operation, the second virtual building will perform a circular motion around its own or some other center point or axis, thereby changing its orientation or direction, but the snapping relationship with the first virtual building or its position in the virtual space will not change during this process.

[0054] Specifically, by implementing the rotation function of the second virtual building in response to the second control operation, the player can freely adjust the orientation and angle of the building without breaking the splicing relationship between buildings. This not only increases the player's control over the building layout, but also makes the virtual building scene more diverse and dynamic. Players can flexibly adjust the direction of the building according to their own aesthetic and design concept, thereby creating a more unique and attractive virtual building landscape. At the same time, this function also enhances the interactivity and playability of the game, allowing players to more deeply participate in the design and construction process of virtual buildings.

[0055] For further illustration, for example, in a virtual city planning game, the player has placed a road module (first virtual building) in the game world and connected a street lamp module (second virtual building). Now, the player wants to adjust the direction of the street lamp to face a main road. By performing the second control operation (such as dragging the rotation icon on the street lamp or using a specific rotation shortcut key), the street lamp will rotate while maintaining the connection with the road module until the player is satisfied with the direction.

[0056] It should be noted that the embodiment first displays the first virtual building that has been placed and the second virtual building to be placed. Then, when the player performs the first control operation on the second virtual building, the second virtual building is placed at the splicing position of the first virtual building, and a splicing relationship is established between the two. Then, when the player performs the second control operation on the second virtual building, the second virtual building rotates while maintaining the splicing relationship with the first virtual building.

[0057] For further illustration, for example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 3, Figure 3 , the first virtual building 302 that has been placed and the second virtual building 304 to be placed are displayed; in response to the first control operation performed on the second virtual building 304, the second virtual building 304 placed at the splicing position of the first virtual building 302 is displayed, as shown in (b) of FIG. 3; Figure 3 ; further in response to the second control operation performed on the second virtual building 304, the second virtual building 304 rotates while maintaining the splicing relationship between the second virtual building 304 and the first virtual building 302, as shown in (c) of FIG. 3, where the dashed line indicates that rotation occurs; and the second virtual building 304 after rotation, although the orientation and angle change, still maintains the splicing relationship with the first virtual building 302, as shown in (d) of FIG. 3. Figure 3 Figure 3

[0058] ​​By the embodiments provided in the present application, a first virtual building that has been placed and a second virtual building to be placed are displayed; in response to a first control operation performed on the second virtual building, the second virtual building placed at a splicing position of the first virtual building is displayed, wherein the virtual building placed at the splicing position is arranged to have a splicing relationship with the first virtual building; and in response to a second control operation performed on the second virtual building, the second virtual building is displayed to rotate while the splicing relationship between the second virtual building and the first virtual building is maintained. When the first control operation is performed, the second virtual building is automatically placed at the splicing position of the first virtual building, ensuring a stable splicing relationship between the two, reducing trial and error time, and thus improving the control efficiency of the virtual building. When the user wants to further adjust, the second virtual building is allowed to rotate freely while the splicing relationship between the two buildings is maintained, increasing the control freedom of the virtual building, and thus achieving the purpose of ensuring stable splicing of the buildings and providing more self-defined space for the user, thereby realizing the technical effect of balancing the control efficiency and freedom of the virtual building.

[0059] As an optional solution, the second virtual building is displayed to rotate, including:

[0060] The second virtual building is displayed to rotate with a first intersection line at a connection position of the first virtual building and the second virtual building as a rotation axis of the second virtual building, wherein the first intersection line is located at the splicing position.

[0061] Optionally, in the present embodiment, the first intersection line can refer to a line formed by the contact part of the first virtual building and the second virtual building when splicing or connecting. This line is the contact boundary of the two building models in the virtual space, and can be understood as the joint or contact line of the splicing position.

[0062] When the first virtual building and the second virtual building are spliced or connected, their contact part can form a region instead of a simple line. This region represents the contact surface or connection surface between the two buildings. In this region, there can be multiple intersection lines, and the first intersection line can specifically refer to a specific line used to define the rotation axis.

[0063] Optionally, in the present embodiment, the rotation axis of the second virtual building can refer to the center line or axis line around which the second virtual building rotates when the rotation operation is performed. For example, when the rotation axis is the first intersection line, the second virtual building rotates around the first intersection line. This means that when the user triggers the rotation command, the second virtual building will perform circular motion along the first intersection line, thereby changing its facing direction or angle while maintaining the splicing relationship with the first virtual building.

[0064] It should be noted that the second virtual building can rotate around the first intersection line at the connection with the first virtual building as the central axis. This rotation ensures that the second virtual building always maintains the splicing relationship with the first virtual building during rotation.

[0065] Further, for example, it is assumed that two building models are placed in a virtual architectural design software, one is the first virtual building (such as a built house) that has been placed, and the other is the second virtual building (such as a balcony to be built) that is intended to be placed. When trying to splice the balcony to one side of the house, the balcony will rotate around the line in contact with the house (i.e., the first intersection line) in order to better match the structure of the house.

[0066] Through the embodiments provided in the present application, when the user triggers the rotation operation of the second virtual building, the second virtual building is displayed to rotate smoothly around the first intersection line as the rotation axis. During this process, the user can clearly see that the second virtual building gradually changes its orientation and direction while maintaining the splicing relationship with the first virtual building. This visual effect not only improves the user's operation experience, but also makes the construction of the virtual environment more intuitive and convenient.

[0067] As an optional solution, after displaying the second virtual building to rotate around the first intersection line at the connection between the first virtual building and the second virtual building as the rotation axis, the method further includes:

[0068] In response to a third control operation performed on the second virtual building, the second virtual building is displayed to rotate around a second intersection line at the connection between the first virtual building and the second virtual building as the rotation axis, wherein the second intersection line is located at the splicing position.

[0069] Optionally, in the present embodiment, the second intersection line can refer to another line that can serve as a rotation axis at the splicing position of the first virtual building and the second virtual building in addition to the first intersection line. The user can select this line as a new rotation axis through a third control operation to make the second virtual building perform further rotation adjustment.

[0070] It should be noted that after the second virtual building has rotated around the first intersection line as the rotation axis, the present embodiment further provides an additional function: in response to a third control operation performed by the user on the second virtual building, the second virtual building can rotate around a second intersection line at the connection between the first virtual building and the second virtual building as a new rotation axis. The second intersection line is also a line at the splicing position of the two buildings, but it is different from the first intersection line.

[0071] Further, for example, it is assumed that a staircase model (the second virtual building) has been spliced into the entrance of a room model (the first virtual building) in a 3D modeling software. First, the staircase is rotated about the contact line between the staircase and the floor of the room (the first intersection line) so as to align with the entrance of the room. However, it is found that the handrail of the staircase needs to be fine-tuned, and thus the contact line between the handrail of the staircase and the wall of the room (the second intersection line) is selected as a new rotation axis, and the staircase is further rotated and adjusted.

[0072] Through the embodiments provided in the present application, when the user performs the third control operation, the system displays the effect of the second virtual building rotating about the new rotation axis (the second intersection line). In this process, the user can clearly see that the second virtual building changes its orientation and angle in a new way while maintaining the splicing relationship with the first virtual building. This flexible rotation function not only improves the user's operation experience, but also makes the construction and adjustment of the virtual environment more accurate and efficient.

[0073] As an optional solution, displaying the rotation of the second virtual building comprises:

[0074] S1-1, in the case where the second control operation is a clockwise rotation control operation, displaying the second virtual building rotating clockwise;

[0075] S1-2, in the case where the second control operation is a counterclockwise rotation control operation, displaying the second virtual building rotating counterclockwise.

[0076] Optionally, in the present embodiment, clockwise rotation can refer to the second virtual building rotating about its rotation axis in the direction in which the clock hand moves (from left to right). Counterclockwise rotation can refer to the second virtual building also rotating about its rotation axis, but in the direction opposite to the movement of the clock hand (from right to left).

[0077] It should be noted that according to the difference of the second control operation (clockwise or counterclockwise), the second virtual building will rotate in the corresponding direction (clockwise or counterclockwise), and the effect of this rotation will be displayed in real time on the screen.

[0078] Further, for example, in a 3D modeling software, a user attempts to adjust the direction of a virtual table lamp (the second virtual building). When the user performs a clockwise rotation control operation, the table lamp will slowly rotate in the clockwise direction. Conversely, if the user selects a counterclockwise rotation control operation, the table lamp will rotate in the counterclockwise direction.

[0079] According to the embodiments provided in the present application, the second virtual building is rendered and displayed on the screen in real time to rotate in the corresponding direction according to the second control operation (clockwise or counterclockwise) selected by the user. This visual feedback not only enhances the user's operation experience, but also enables the user to accurately control and adjust the direction of the virtual building to achieve the desired visual effect or design goal.

[0080] As an optional solution, before displaying the second virtual building rotating clockwise, the method further comprises: displaying a clockwise rotation control;

[0081] Displaying the second virtual building rotating clockwise comprises at least one of the following:

[0082] S2-1, in response to performing a first single control operation on the clockwise rotation control, displaying the second virtual building rotating clockwise by a first preset angle;

[0083] S2-2, in response to performing a first long press control operation on the clockwise rotation control, displaying the second virtual building rotating clockwise for a first duration, wherein the first duration is positively correlated with the execution duration of the first long press control operation;

[0084] Before displaying the second virtual building rotating clockwise, the method further comprises: displaying a counterclockwise rotation control;

[0085] Displaying the second virtual building rotating counterclockwise comprises at least one of the following:

[0086] S3-1, in response to performing a second single control operation on the counterclockwise rotation control, displaying the second virtual building rotating counterclockwise by a second preset angle;

[0087] S3-2, in response to performing a second long press control operation on the counterclockwise rotation control, displaying the second virtual building rotating counterclockwise for a second duration, wherein the second duration is positively correlated with the execution duration of the second long press control operation.

[0088] Optionally, in the present embodiment, the clockwise rotation control and the counterclockwise rotation control can be elements on the user interface, and the user can control the rotation direction of the second virtual building by interacting with these controls.

[0089] Optionally, in the present embodiment, the first single control operation and the second single control operation can respectively refer to a one-time, short operation, such as clicking, of the user on the clockwise and counterclockwise rotation controls.

[0090] Optionally, in the embodiment, the first long-press control operation and the second long-press control operation can respectively refer to a user's continuous pressing operation on the clockwise rotation control and the counterclockwise rotation control.

[0091] Optionally, in the embodiment, the first preset angle and the second preset angle can be preset by the system, and can be an angle of rotation of the second virtual building after a single control operation.

[0092] Optionally, in the embodiment, the first duration and the second duration can respectively refer to a duration of the continuous clockwise rotation and the continuous counterclockwise rotation of the second virtual building under the long-press control operation, and the duration is positively correlated with a duration of the user's pressing operation on the control.

[0093] It should be noted that the embodiment describes a specific method of controlling the clockwise rotation and the counterclockwise rotation of the second virtual building and display of related controls. First, before displaying the clockwise rotation of the second virtual building, a clockwise rotation control is displayed, and the user can control the rotation of the building by operating the control. Similarly, a counterclockwise rotation control is also displayed for controlling the counterclockwise rotation. According to the user's operation mode (single control operation or long-press control operation), the second virtual building rotates by a preset angle or for a preset duration.

[0094] Further, for example, in a home design software, a user wants to fine-tune the orientation of a virtual sofa. The interface provides clockwise and counterclockwise rotation controls. When the user clicks the clockwise rotation control, the sofa rotates clockwise by a preset small angle (e.g., 5 degrees); when the user long-presses the control, the sofa continuously rotates clockwise until the user releases the control. Similarly, operation of the counterclockwise rotation control causes the sofa to rotate counterclockwise.

[0095] According to the embodiments provided in the present application, according to the user's operation on the clockwise or counterclockwise rotation control, the rotation effect of the second virtual building is displayed in an intuitive and rapid manner. Single operation brings about accurate and small-angle rotation changes, and long-press operation realizes continuous and smooth rotation animation. This interactive design improves the convenience and accuracy of user operation, and also enhances the interactivity and dynamics of the virtual environment.

[0096] As an optional solution, after displaying the placed first virtual building and the to-be-placed second virtual building, the method further includes:

[0097] S4-1, in response to a fourth control operation performed on the second virtual building, display the second virtual building placed at the splicing position and at a preset angle, wherein the preset angle is a placement angle corresponding to the fourth control operation, and the second virtual building at the preset angle is set to be prohibited from rotating;

[0098] S4-2, in response to an authority opening operation performed on the second virtual building at the preset angle, set the second virtual building at the preset angle to be allowed to rotate.

[0099] Optionally, in the embodiment, the fourth control operation can be a specific operation performed by the user to place the second virtual building at the splicing position and set a preset placement angle. The preset angle can refer to a specific placement angle set for the second virtual building when the fourth control operation is performed. The authority opening operation can be another operation performed by the user to remove the rotation restriction of the second virtual building so that it can be rotated.

[0100] It should be noted that when the user performs the fourth control operation, the second virtual building is placed at the splicing position and displayed at a preset angle, which corresponds to the fourth control operation, wherein the second virtual building is set to be prohibited from rotating. Subsequently, if the user performs the authority opening operation, the rotation restriction is removed to allow the user to rotate the second virtual building.

[0101] Further, for example, in a home layout software, the user can want to place a virtual TV cabinet (second virtual building) in an existing living room layout (next to the first virtual building). By performing the fourth control operation, the TV cabinet is placed at a specific angle, for example, facing the sofa. At this time, the TV cabinet is locked and cannot be rotated at will. If the user later feels that the angle of the TV cabinet needs to be adjusted, they can perform an authority opening operation, and then freely rotate the TV cabinet to the desired angle.

[0102] Through the embodiments provided in the present application, after the user performs the fourth control operation, the second virtual building is stably placed at the splicing position at a preset angle, and at this time it is not rotatable. This visual effect gives the user a sense of stability and order. When the user performs the authority opening operation, the rotation restriction of the second virtual building is removed, and the user can freely rotate it to achieve the best visual effect or meet specific design requirements. This interactive way is intuitive and efficient, greatly improving the user experience.

[0103] As an optional solution, after setting the second virtual building of the preset angle to allow rotation in response to the permission opening operation performed on the second virtual building of the preset angle, the method further comprises:

[0104] S5-1, in response to the second control operation performed on the second virtual building of the preset angle, displaying the second virtual building of the preset angle rotating to the second virtual building of the target angle while maintaining the splicing relationship between the second virtual building and the first virtual building;

[0105] S5-2, in response to the angle saving operation performed on the second virtual building of the target angle, updating the placement angle corresponding to the fourth control operation to the target angle.

[0106] Optionally, in the embodiment, the target angle can refer to an angle that the user sets through the second control operation and hopes the second virtual building to rotate to. The angle saving operation can be an operation performed by the user to save the current rotation angle of the second virtual building as a new placement angle.

[0107] It should be noted that when the user performs the second control operation, the second virtual building will rotate from the preset angle to the target angle set by the user while maintaining the splicing relationship with the first virtual building. Then, when the user performs the angle saving operation on the second virtual building of the target angle, the placement angle corresponding to the fourth control operation is updated to the new target angle.

[0108] Further, for example, in a home arrangement software, after the user removes the rotation restriction of the TV cabinet (second virtual building), the user rotates it from the initial preset angle to a more suitable target angle for watching TV through the second control operation. Satisfied with the current angle, the user performs the angle saving operation, and the home arrangement software updates the default placement angle of the TV cabinet to the new target angle. Next time the user places the TV cabinet, the home arrangement software will appear by default at the new target angle.

[0109] Through the embodiments provided in the present application, after the user performs the second control operation, the user can intuitively see that the second virtual building is smoothly rotated to the target angle set by the user while maintaining the splicing relationship with the first virtual building. After performing the angle saving operation, the placement angle is seamlessly updated, so that the user can directly obtain the angle setting that meets his preferences when placing the second virtual building in the future. This instant visual feedback and seamless update mechanism significantly improves the user experience.

[0110] As an optional solution, after displaying the placed first virtual building and the second virtual building to be placed, the method further comprises:

[0111] In response to the fifth control operation performed by the virtual character on the second virtual building, the second virtual building is displayed as being placed in the virtual scene and in a free placement state, wherein the virtual building in the free placement state is set to be prohibited from having a splicing relationship, the number of virtual buildings placed by the virtual character and in the free placement state is set to be less than or equal to a first preset threshold, and the number of virtual buildings placed in the virtual scene and in the free placement state is set to be less than or equal to a second preset threshold.

[0112] Optionally, in this embodiment, the fifth control operation can refer to a specific operation performed by the user on the second virtual building through the virtual character, for placing the building in the virtual scene and making it in the free placement state.

[0113] Optionally, in this embodiment, the free placement state can refer to a state of the virtual building in the virtual scene, and the building in this state is prohibited from forming a splicing relationship with other buildings.

[0114] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first preset threshold is used to limit the maximum number of virtual buildings in the free placement state that can be placed by each virtual character in the virtual scene. The second preset threshold is used to limit the maximum number of virtual buildings in the free placement state that can be placed in the entire virtual scene.

[0115] It should be noted that after the user performs the fifth control operation on the second virtual building through the virtual character, the second virtual building is placed in the virtual scene and in the free placement state. The virtual building in this state is prohibited from forming a splicing relationship with other buildings. At the same time, the number of virtual buildings in the free placement state is limited, including the number placed by each virtual character and the total number in the entire virtual scene.

[0116] Further, for example, in a sandbox game, a player (through a virtual character) wants to place an independent house (second virtual building). By performing the fifth control operation, the house is placed in a certain position in the game world and in the free placement state, which means that it will not be automatically connected or form a continuous structure with other buildings. The game also stipulates that each player can only place a limited number of such independent houses in the game, and the total number of such houses in the entire game world is also limited.

[0117] Through the embodiments provided herein, after executing the fifth control operation, the user will see the second virtual building successfully placed in the virtual scene, in a freely placed state. Due to the quantity restrictions, users will be more cautious and strategic when choosing where to place buildings. At the same time, these restrictions will also maintain a dynamic equilibrium in the architectural layout of the entire virtual scene. Taking a virtual game scene as an example, this embodiment ensures player freedom in the game, allowing them to freely place buildings, while also maintaining game balance and performance through quantity restrictions.

[0118] As an optional solution, and for ease of understanding, the aforementioned virtual building control method is applied to construction game scenarios. Considering that the core fun of construction games often lies in their freedom, players can freely place and combine buildings, unleashing their creativity. Traditional control methods, however, impose numerous restrictions on players' construction experience. For example, they can only build in specific scenes and locations, not across the entire scene or map. This limits players' creativity and freedom, while also significantly wasting map art resources.

[0119] Furthermore, under traditional control methods, players' placement of building objects (virtual buildings) depends on the position of the previous object, and can only be connected at specific angles and in specific ways. This makes the arrangement and combination of objects very fixed, and further restricts players' experience of building gameplay. However, this embodiment decouples the object adsorption logic, allowing players to freely place objects according to their own ideas and freely rotate objects in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions, greatly increasing the freedom of building gameplay.

[0120] In addition, when players experience construction gameplay in the entire scene and map, it often puts greater pressure on hardware performance. This embodiment achieves a better balance between experience freedom and game performance by limiting the number of individually customized objects.

[0121] Optionally, in this embodiment, there is no restriction on the scene and location of the construction, and players can freely choose the location to build. Figure 4 As shown in (a), the player built in scene A; and if Figure 4 As shown in (b) in FIG, the player has built in scene B. That is, in this embodiment, the player is allowed to build at any location in any scene without being restricted.

[0122] Optionally, in this embodiment, the building objects support free rotation in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. Players only need to click on an object they want to place in the building object bar, and then click Figure 5The clockwise / anticlockwise rotation button on the right side of the screen can rotate the object, and the object will continue to rotate when the rotation button is pressed and held, the object can be placed by clicking the check button, and the object can be deleted by clicking the cross button.

[0123] Optionally, in this embodiment, the quantity limit of each building object is customized from multiple dimensions, so as to balance the player experience and performance pressure more finely. When the quantity of the building object placed by the player reaches the limit, the building object cannot be placed again, and a prompt information "quantity limit reached" is displayed as shown, and the player is prohibited from placing a new building object. Figure 6

[0124] Optionally, in this embodiment, the process of the adsorption, placement and splicing combination of the building object is as shown in the following figure. Figure 7

[0125] Step S702, start tick frame by frame, start a frame-by-frame time advancing process, in which the state of the game or animation is updated every frame (or every tick). Such update can be collision checking, object moving, score calculation, etc.

[0126] Step S704, ray penetration, the penetration range is from the ray machine to nMaxBuildDistance, that is, a ray is emitted from the player's perspective (or a specific point), and the intersection of the ray with the object within the nMaxBuildDistance range is detected.

[0127] Step S706, result list processing, which specifically includes discarding targets with a distance from the character less than nMinBuildDistance, discarding targets after the first entity, sorting targets with a distance from nHitLocationMaxOffset from near to far, and targets with a structure piece in an adsorption relationship.

[0128] Step S708, judge whether the list is empty, if yes, the adsorption fails, and the object is suspended, if not, the first target is popped up, and step S710 is further executed.

[0129] Step S710, judge whether the target matches the structure piece, if not, continue to judge whether the list is empty, if yes, the adsorption is successful, and step S712 is further executed.

[0130] In step S710, if the target is a virtual body, it is judged whether the target has an adsorption relationship with the structure piece, if yes, it is judged whether the current adsorption position has a support relationship, if not, it is judged whether the parent body of the virtual body has an adsorption relationship with the structure piece.

[0131] ​​Further, if the current adsorption position support relationship is legal, it is determined whether there is a collision after adsorption, if yes, green adsorption is triggered, if not, it is consistent with the case that the current adsorption position support relationship is illegal, and red adsorption is triggered;

[0132] For the case that the virtual body and the structural member exist adsorption relationship, the target is determined to be a solid (structural body), and the slot is sorted according to the intersection and the direction of the ray. The current structural member direction is used to traverse the target slot, and the adsorption information of the first slot is recorded;

[0133] Further determine whether the traversal encounters the result of green adsorption, if not, remove the current structural member direction to traverse all target slots, if yes, trigger green adsorption;

[0134] After removing the current structural member direction to traverse all target slots, it is determined whether the traversal encounters the result of green adsorption, if yes, green adsorption is triggered, if not, it is further determined whether the first slot result is red adsorption, if yes, red adsorption is triggered, if not, it is determined that the adsorption fails.

[0135] Step S712, special case correction, specifically, it is determined whether the current matching object is corrected, if yes, the correction is ended, if not, it is determined whether the correction rule is met;

[0136] If the correction rule is not met, the correction is ended, if the correction rule is met, it is determined whether the correction direction allows green adsorption, if yes, the correction is performed, if not, the correction is ended.

[0137] Step S714, adsorption is ended.

[0138] Optionally, in the embodiment, as shown in Figure 8 When the player selects an object, a ray is shot from the camera to the position aimed at by the crosshair. Based on the ray, it is detected whether the ray contacts any ground or other model. If there is a ground or other model, a build object is created at this position. If there is no ground or model, a build object is created at the end of the ray (20 meters away). In this way, it can be determined whether the build object is in a buildable state. The player can change the position of the object by changing the position aimed at by the crosshair.

[0139] If there is a build object at this time, it is detected whether there is a buildable build object in the range around the ray based on the ray. If there is, the player is automatically adsorbed to the existing object by default. The player can choose to cancel the automatic adsorption function. If the automatic adsorption function is canceled, the player will not be automatically adsorbed to the existing object. Different objects can apply this logic.

[0140] Optionally, in this embodiment, during the process of building and placing the object, the player can freely change the placement angle and building position of the object by rotating the object clockwise and counterclockwise through the rotation button on the right side. Finally, the player can click the green check button on the right side to finally build and place the object.

[0141] Optionally, in this embodiment, the field of view of the building is synchronized in small objects, and each synchronization brief contains a list of globally unique identifiers (GUIDs) of the objects. After synchronization, the data class building block data (UBuild Piece Data) is created, the protocol data is saved, the data streaming callback is registered, the streaming callback dynamically creates the entity (APieceEntity) that is seen and interacted with in the game, the blueprint class corresponding to all objects in the game is saved, each type of object corresponds to a blueprint, and the blueprint uses components to modify the functions of the objects.

[0142] The adsorption, interaction, and special performance of the objects in the building can be achieved by corresponding components, which can be freely assembled in the blueprint. The building component alignment component (Build Piece Snap Component) describes an adsorption point, and the adsorption points between two objects will interact.

[0143] Through the embodiments provided in this application, the building system of the open world is opened up, realizing the free building of the player in the whole scene and the whole map, greatly improving the freedom and creative play of building. By decoupling the object adsorption logic, the player can place objects at will and rotate them freely in both directions, enriching the diversity of building gameplay. At the same time, by individually customizing the quantity limit of each object, the scheme not only guarantees the game performance, but also maintains the freedom of the player's experience. These innovative functions together create a more free, creative, and balanced building environment for the player, not only improving the utilization rate of map resources, but also greatly improving the player's game pleasure and satisfaction. In addition, the first direction rotation function realized by technical means can greatly amplify the player's building creativity, allowing the construction of various strange-shaped buildings, and even using building objects to draw pictures, bringing more possibilities and interestingness to the game.
