Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of game design technology, and in particular to an interactive control method, device, and electronic device in a game. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, interactive control in virtual scenarios typically requires players to manually switch between different attack modes for different combat situations. However, this interaction method, which relies on manual judgment and frequent triggering of mode-switching commands, not only increases the burden on terminal devices to process redundant input signals but also easily leads to invalid commands due to operational delays, thus unnecessarily increasing the parsing and computational pressure on the terminal processor. Furthermore, a fixed, single attack mode often requires the terminal to continuously perform large-scale target detection calculations, resulting in a waste of computing resources. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide an interactive control method, device, and electronic device for games to improve game playability and gaming experience.

[0004] In a first aspect, this disclosure provides an interactive control method for a game, which provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device. The graphical user interface includes at least a portion of a game scene, and the game scene includes multiple virtual characters. Among the multiple virtual characters, there is at least one first virtual character and a second virtual character controlled by the terminal device. The method includes: in response to an aiming operation, determining an aiming target character among the at least one first virtual character; and in response to an attack operation, controlling the second virtual character to perform a target attack behavior determined from multiple attack behaviors in the game scene based on the relative orientation relationship between the aiming target character and the second virtual character.

[0005] Secondly, this disclosure provides an interactive control device for a game, which provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device. The graphical user interface includes at least a portion of a game scene, and the game scene includes multiple virtual characters. Among the multiple virtual characters, there is at least one first virtual character and a second virtual character controlled by the terminal device. The device includes: an aiming module, used to determine an aiming target character among at least one first virtual character in response to an aiming operation; and an attack module, used to control the second virtual character to perform a target attack behavior determined from multiple attack behaviors in the game scene based on the relative orientation relationship between the aiming target character and the second virtual character in response to an attack operation.

[0006] Thirdly, this disclosure provides an electronic device including a processor and a memory, the memory storing machine-executable instructions that can be executed by the processor, the processor executing the machine-executable instructions to implement the interactive control method in the above-mentioned game.

[0007] Fourthly, this disclosure provides a computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when invoked and executed by a processor, cause the processor to implement the interactive control method in the aforementioned game.

[0008] The embodiments disclosed herein bring the following beneficial effects:

[0009] This disclosure provides an interactive control method, device, and electronic device for games. First, in response to an aiming operation, a target character is determined from at least one first virtual character in the game scene. Then, in response to an attack operation, based on the relative orientation between the target character and a second virtual character, the second virtual character is controlled to perform a target attack behavior determined from multiple attack behaviors in the game scene. In this method, when the second virtual character performs an attack operation in the game scene, a target attack behavior can be determined from multiple attack behaviors based on the current relative orientation between the target character and the second virtual character, and then the target attack behavior can be performed in the game scene. This improves the selectivity and adaptability of attack behavior performance, avoids the monotony of attack behaviors, and enhances game playability and the overall gaming experience.

[0015] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this disclosure described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0016] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this disclosure provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed disclosure, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this disclosure without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0017] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the interactive control method in a game can run on a local terminal device or a server. When the interactive control method in a game runs 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.

[0018] In an optional implementation, various cloud applications, such as cloud gaming, can run under the cloud interaction system. Taking cloud gaming as an example, cloud gaming refers to a gaming method based on cloud computing. In the cloud gaming operating mode, the game program and the game screen presentation are separated. The storage and execution of interactive control methods in the game are completed on the cloud gaming server. 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 capabilities located close to the user, such as a mobile terminal, television, computer, or PDA; however, the information processing is performed by the cloud gaming server in the cloud. When playing the game, the player operates the client device to send operation commands to the cloud gaming server. The cloud gaming server runs the game according to the operation commands, encodes and compresses the game screen and other data, returns it to the client device via the network, and finally, the client device decodes and outputs the game screen.

[0019] In an optional implementation, taking a game as an example, the local terminal device stores the game program and is used to display the game screen. The local terminal device is used to interact with the player through a graphical user interface (GUI), i.e., conventionally by downloading, installing, and running the game program via an electronic device. The local terminal device can provide the GUI to the player in various ways, such as rendering it on the terminal's display screen or providing it to the player via holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device can include a display screen for displaying the GUI, which includes game screens, and a processor for running the game, generating the GUI, and controlling the display of the GUI on the display screen.

[0020] In one possible implementation, this disclosure provides an interactive control method for games, which provides a graphical user interface (GUI) through a terminal device. The terminal device can be a local terminal device as mentioned above, or a client device in a cloud interactive system as mentioned above. For example, the terminal device can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, or personal computer. The GUI includes at least a portion of the game scene, which includes multiple virtual characters, including at least one first virtual character and a second virtual character controlled by the terminal device.

[0021] Specifically, the terminal device, by running the game program corresponding to the target game, can provide a graphical user interface (GUI) for that game. This GUI displays the game scene, which includes multiple virtual characters. These virtual characters can belong to different game factions or the same faction. When multiple virtual characters belong to different game factions, each faction includes one or more virtual characters, and the different factions are hostile to each other. That is, a virtual character needs to attack virtual characters belonging to a different faction to help its faction achieve victory.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the interactive control method in this game includes the following specific steps: Step S102, in response to the aiming operation, determine the aiming target character among at least one first virtual character.

[0023] In practice, the aiming operation described above can be performed by clicking on the target virtual character in the game scene using a mouse, game controller, or finger. In this case, the clicked target virtual character becomes the aiming target character. Alternatively, the aiming operation can be performed by adjusting the aiming direction of the crosshair in the graphical user interface. In this case, the target virtual character that the crosshair is aiming at becomes the aiming target character, or any virtual character within the crosshair's aiming range becomes the aiming target character. The target virtual character can be any virtual character in the game scene.

[0024] Step S104: In response to the attack operation, based on the relative orientation relationship between the target character and the second virtual character, control the second virtual character to release a target attack behavior determined from multiple attack behaviors in the game scene.

[0025] In practice, attacks can be triggered by clicking or long-pressing the skill controls displayed in the graphical user interface, by clicking or long-pressing a specific key on the keyboard, or by clicking or long-pressing a specific key on the game controller.

[0026] When triggering an attack, the target attack behavior needs to be determined based on the relative orientation between the target character and the second virtual character. This target attack behavior can be any one of multiple attack behaviors. The relative orientation relationship indicates the relationship between the orientation direction of the target character and the orientation direction of the second virtual character.

[0027] Optionally, different attack behaviors correspond to different attack ranges and / or attack powers, and different attack behaviors also correspond to different attack effects.

[0028] Furthermore, the relative orientation relationships corresponding to different attack behaviors are different. For example, when the target character is facing the second virtual character, or when the angle between the direction of the target character and the direction of the second virtual character is greater than a preset angle, the first attack behavior is determined as the target attack behavior; when the target character is facing away from the second virtual character, or when the angle between the direction of the target character and the direction of the second virtual character is less than or equal to a preset angle, the second attack behavior is determined as the target attack behavior.

[0029] Optionally, when the second virtual character performs a target attack in the game scene, it can damage the first virtual character within the aiming range, or it can only damage the target character.

[0030] This disclosure provides an interactive control method in a game. When a second virtual character performs an attack operation in a game scene, the method can determine a target attack behavior from multiple attack behaviors based on the relative orientation relationship between the current target character and the second virtual character, and then release the target attack behavior in the game scene. This improves the selectivity and adaptability of attack behavior release, avoids the monotony of attack behavior, and also enhances the game's playability and gaming experience.

[0031] The following examples describe how target attack behavior is determined.

[0032] Optionally, the aforementioned multiple attack behaviors include at least a first type of attack behavior and a second type of attack behavior; wherein, the first type of attack behavior is a range attack behavior, and the second type of attack behavior is a single-target attack behavior.

[0033] In practical implementation, the aforementioned area-of-effect attack behavior refers to attacking the first virtual character within the target's aiming range, while the single-target attack behavior refers to attacking only the target character being aimed at. By setting two different attack behavior types and automatically determining the appropriate attack behavior based on the relative orientation of the enemy and allies, players can automatically obtain the optimal attack effect according to the battlefield situation (frontal confrontation or rear attack) without manually switching skills. This significantly reduces the complexity of player operations, while enriching the game's tactical and strategic dimensions and enhancing its playability.

[0034] Based on the above description, the target attack behavior determined from multiple attack behaviors based on the relative orientation relationship between the target character and the second virtual character includes: a first type of attack behavior determined when the relative orientation relationship meets a first preset condition; or a second type of attack behavior determined when the relative orientation relationship meets a second preset condition.

[0035] In practical applications, when a player performs an attack, the system first needs to identify the relative orientation between the current target character and the second virtual character. If this relative orientation meets a first preset condition, the first type of attack behavior is identified as the target attack behavior launched by the second virtual character in the game scene; if the relative orientation meets a second preset condition, the second type of attack behavior is identified as the target attack behavior launched by the second virtual character in the game scene. The first and second preset conditions are different and do not overlap. Through this conditional judgment mechanism based on relative orientation, the system can intelligently identify the combat situation (such as facing the enemy head-on or attacking from behind) and automatically match the most suitable attack strategy. Players do not need to manually judge the current situation and select corresponding skills, thus reducing cognitive load and operational latency, and improving the smoothness and responsiveness of combat.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, the first preset condition may be that the angle between the direction of the target character and the direction of the second virtual character is greater than a preset angle, and the second preset condition may be that the angle between the direction of the target character and the direction of the second virtual character is less than or equal to a preset angle.

[0037] In another optional embodiment, the first preset condition includes: the position of the second virtual character is within the target scene range corresponding to the direction of the target character; the second preset condition includes: the position of the second virtual character is outside the target scene range; wherein, the target scene range is: a preset angle range determined with the direction of the target character as the center direction.

[0038] In practice, the aforementioned preset angle range can be a 180-degree angle range or a 90-degree angle range, etc.

[0039] like Figure 2 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of an embodiment of this disclosure where the relative orientation between a target character and a second virtual character satisfies a first preset condition. Figure 2 The black-faced character model is the second virtual character, and the white-faced character model is the target character. The arrow pointing in front of the target character indicates the direction the target character is facing. The 180-degree angle range centered on this direction is the target scene range. Figure 2 The target is a gray semi-circle in front of the target character. Figure 2 The second virtual character's position is within the target scene range corresponding to the direction the target character is facing; this can also be understood as the second virtual character facing the target character.

[0040] like Figure 3The diagram shown is a schematic representation of an embodiment of this disclosure where the relative orientation between a target character and a second virtual character satisfies a second preset condition. Figure 3 The black-faced character model is the second virtual character, and the white-faced character model is the target character. The arrow pointing in front of the target character indicates the direction the target character is facing. The 180-degree angle range centered on this direction is the target scene range. Figure 3 The target is a gray semi-circle in front of the target character. Figure 3 The second virtual character's position is outside the target scene range corresponding to the direction the target character is facing, which can also be understood as the target character having its back to the second virtual character.

[0041] Based on the above description, the specific process of controlling the second virtual character to release a target attack behavior determined from multiple attack behaviors in the game scene may include: if the target attack behavior is a first type of attack behavior, controlling the second virtual character to attack the target aiming range so as to produce a corresponding attack effect within the target aiming range; if the target attack behavior is a second type of attack behavior, controlling the second virtual character to attack the aiming target character so as to produce a corresponding attack effect on the aiming target character.

[0042] In practice, the target aiming range can be a first scene range centered on the aiming direction of the second virtual character, or a second scene range centered on the second virtual character, etc.

[0043] In one specific embodiment, if a player performs an attack operation, the system first needs to identify the direction in which the target character is facing and determine a preset angle range centered on that direction. Then, it determines whether the current position of the second virtual character is within the preset angle range. If so, the system controls the second virtual character to perform a first type of attack in the game scene, that is, to control the second virtual character to attack the target aiming range, so as to produce a corresponding attack effect within the target aiming range. If not, the system controls the second virtual character to perform a second type of attack in the game scene, that is, to control the second virtual character to attack the target character, so as to produce a corresponding attack effect on the target character.

[0044] The attack effects generated within the target's aiming range can include: dealing damage to the first virtual character within the target's aiming range, or casting the first skill within the target's aiming range. For example, the first skill could be throwing a virtual item into the target's aiming range, or using a virtual item to slash at the target's aiming range.

[0045] The attack effects on the targeted character described above can be causing damage to the targeted character, or using a second skill on the targeted character. For example, the second skill could be shooting or releasing a weapon only at the targeted character.

[0046] The following examples describe how the target character is determined.

[0047] Specifically, a crosshair is displayed in the graphical user interface, which is used to indicate the aiming direction of the second virtual character; based on this, the specific process of determining the target character in at least one first virtual character may include: in response to the aiming direction indicated by the crosshair and the target first virtual character in the game scene satisfying specified conditions, the target first virtual character is determined as the target character.

[0048] The specified condition can be either that the aiming direction indicated by the crosshair points to the target virtual character in the game scene, or that the target virtual character is located within the aiming range centered on the aiming direction indicated by the crosshair. If the aiming range includes multiple virtual characters, then the target virtual character is the one closest to the aiming direction. The target virtual character can be any virtual character in the game scene.

[0049] Furthermore, in response to the first virtual character being identified as the target character, a selection flag is displayed for the first virtual character, and / or the first virtual character is displayed in a first display mode; wherein the first display mode is different from the second display mode of the first virtual character in the game scene other than the target character.

[0050] In practical implementation, when the first virtual character is identified as the target character through the aiming operation, a selection icon can be displayed at the associated position of the first virtual character. This selection icon can be a triangle icon or an arrow icon, etc. The associated position of the first virtual character can be above its head or below its feet, etc. For example, when the first virtual character is identified as the target character, a triangle icon can be displayed above its head, or an arrow icon can be displayed at its feet, etc.

[0051] The first and second display methods described above differ. The second display method can be a conventional display of the first virtual character in the game scene, while the first display method can be highlighting the target first virtual character in yellow, or outlining the target first virtual character, etc. By using both the first and second display methods, the targeted character and the untargeted first virtual character can be visually distinguished, making it easier for players to understand which virtual character they are currently aiming at.

[0052] In an optional implementation, the graphical user interface includes a skill control; the skill control indicates the operation method of the attack. This skill can be displayed in the lower right or lower left corner of the graphical user interface, etc.

[0053] Based on the above description, in response to selecting or switching the target character, the skill control dynamically displays prompt information corresponding to the target attack behavior determined by the relative orientation relationship.

[0054] In practice, when a player selects a target character via aiming or switches the currently selected target character, a prompt message corresponding to the target attack behavior, determined by the relative orientation of the target character and the second virtual character, is dynamically displayed on the skill control. This prompt message may include the skill name, skill icon, etc. This method helps players understand which target attack behavior is currently being used and what the achievable attack effect is, facilitating strategic deployment and offensive actions.

[0055] like Figure 4 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of a dynamic display of prompt information provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 4 The circular marker with a black dot is the crosshair. The first virtual character that the crosshair is aiming at is the target character. A triangle marker (equivalent to the selection marker mentioned above) is displayed above the target character's head. Figure 4 The gray square control displayed in the lower right corner is the skill control. The skill control displays the skill name, and below it is the operation method for performing the skill. Figure 4 The operation method is to trigger the skill operation by pressing the A key on the keyboard. Figure 4 In the image on the left, the target character is facing the second virtual character. At this time, the second virtual character can unleash a first-type attack, thus adjusting the skill name displayed on the skill controls to the skill name corresponding to the first-type attack. Figure 4 The skill name corresponding to the first type of attack behavior in the game is "Slash"; when the target character is switched to... Figure 4 When the virtual character on the right side of the image is facing away from the second virtual character, the attack behavior that the second virtual character can unleash switches to the second type of attack behavior, thereby adjusting the skill name displayed on the skill control to the skill name corresponding to the second type of attack behavior. Figure 4 The skill name corresponding to the second type of attack behavior in the game is "Backstab".

[0056] Corresponding to the above method embodiments, this disclosure also provides an interactive control device for games, which provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device. The graphical user interface includes at least a portion of the game scene, and the game scene includes multiple virtual characters. Among the multiple virtual characters, there is at least one first virtual character and a second virtual character controlled by the terminal device, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the device includes: The aiming module 50 is used to determine the target character in at least one first virtual character in response to the aiming operation.

[0057] The attack module 51 is used to respond to the attack operation and, based on the relative orientation relationship between the target character and the second virtual character, control the second virtual character to release a target attack behavior determined from multiple attack behaviors in the game scene.

[0058] In the aforementioned game, the interactive control device allows the second virtual character to perform an attack operation in the game scene. Based on the relative orientation between the current target character and the second virtual character, the device can determine the target attack behavior from multiple attack behaviors and release the target attack behavior in the game scene. This improves the selectivity and adaptability of attack behavior release, avoids the monotony of attack behavior, and enhances the game's playability and experience.

[0059] Furthermore, the multiple attack behaviors include at least a first type of attack behavior and a second type of attack behavior; wherein, the first type of attack behavior is a range attack behavior, and the second type of attack behavior is a single-target attack behavior.

[0060] Furthermore, the target attack behavior determined from multiple attack behaviors based on the relative orientation relationship between the target character and the second virtual character includes: a first type of attack behavior determined when the relative orientation relationship meets a first preset condition; or a second type of attack behavior determined when the relative orientation relationship meets a second preset condition.

[0061] Furthermore, the first preset condition includes: the position of the second virtual character is within the target scene range corresponding to the direction the target character is facing; the second preset condition includes: the position of the second virtual character is outside the target scene range; wherein, the target scene range is: a preset angle range determined with the direction the target character is facing as the center direction.

[0062] Furthermore, the attack module 51 is also used to: if the target attack behavior is a first type of attack behavior, control the second virtual character to attack the target aiming range so as to produce a corresponding attack effect within the target aiming range; if the target attack behavior is a second type of attack behavior, control the second virtual character to attack the aiming target character so as to produce a corresponding attack effect on the aiming target character.

[0063] Furthermore, the graphical user interface displays a crosshair, which is used to indicate the aiming direction of the second virtual character; based on this, the aiming module 50 is also used to: in response to the aiming direction indicated by the crosshair and the target first virtual character in the game scene satisfying specified conditions, determine the target first virtual character as the aiming target character.

[0064] Furthermore, the aforementioned device also includes a display adjustment module, configured to: in response to the target first virtual character being determined as the aiming target character, associate the target first virtual character with a display selection flag, and / or display the target first virtual character in a first display mode; wherein the first display mode is different from the second display mode of the first virtual character in the game scene other than the aiming target character.

[0065] Furthermore, the graphical user interface described above includes skill controls; these skill controls are used to indicate the operation method for attack actions.

[0066] Furthermore, the aforementioned device also includes an information prompt module, used to: dynamically display prompt information corresponding to the target attack behavior determined according to the relative orientation relationship on the skill control in response to selecting or switching the selected target character.

[0067] The interactive control device in the game provided in this disclosure has the same implementation principle and technical effect as the aforementioned method embodiment. For the sake of brevity, any parts not mentioned in the device embodiment can be referred to the corresponding content in the aforementioned method embodiment.

[0068] This disclosure also provides an electronic device, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the electronic device includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores machine-executable instructions that can be executed by the processor, which executes the machine-executable instructions to implement the interactive control method in the game described above.

[0069] Specifically, a graphical user interface is provided through a terminal device. The graphical user interface includes at least a portion of a game scene.

The interactive control method in the game includes: in response to an aiming operation, determining an aiming target character among at least one first virtual character; and in response to an attack operation, controlling the second virtual character to perform a target attack behavior determined from multiple attack behaviors in the game scene based on the relative orientation relationship between the aiming target character and the second virtual character.

[0070] In the interactive control method described above, when the second virtual character performs an attack operation in the game scene, it can determine the target attack behavior from multiple attack behaviors based on the relative orientation relationship between the current target character and the second virtual character, and then release the target attack behavior in the game scene. This improves the selectivity and adaptability of attack behavior release, avoids the monotony of attack behavior, and also enhances the game's playability and gaming experience.

[0071] In an optional embodiment, the multiple attack behaviors include at least a first type of attack behavior and a second type of attack behavior; wherein, the first type of attack behavior is a range attack behavior, and the second type of attack behavior is a single-target attack behavior.

[0075] In an optional embodiment, the graphical user interface displays a crosshair, which is used to indicate the aiming direction of the second virtual character; based on this, the step of determining the target character among at least one first virtual character includes: in response to the aiming direction indicated by the crosshair and the target first virtual character in the game scene satisfying a specified condition, determining the target first virtual character as the target character.

[0076] In an optional embodiment, the method further includes: in response to the target first virtual character being determined as the aiming target character, associating the target first virtual character with a selection flag, and / or displaying the target first virtual character in a first display mode; wherein the first display mode is different from the second display mode of the first virtual character in the game scene other than the aiming target character.

[0077] In an optional embodiment, the graphical user interface described above includes a skill control; the skill control is used to indicate the operation method of the attack operation.

[0078] In an optional embodiment, the method further includes: in response to selecting a target character or switching the selected target character, dynamically displaying prompt information on the skill control corresponding to the target attack behavior determined according to the relative orientation relationship.

[0079] Furthermore, Figure 6 The electronic device shown also includes a bus 102 and a communication interface 103, with the processor 101, the communication interface 103 and the memory 100 connected via the bus 102.

Communication between this system network element and at least one other network element is achieved through at least one communication interface 103 (which can be wired or wireless), such as the Internet, wide area network, local area network, metropolitan area network, etc. The bus 102 may be an ISA bus, PCI bus, or EISA bus, etc. The bus can be divided into address bus, data bus, control bus, etc. For ease of representation, Figure 6 The symbol is represented by a single double-headed arrow, but this does not mean that there is only one bus or one type of bus.

[0081] Processor 101 may be an integrated circuit chip with signal processing capabilities. In implementation, each step of the above method can be completed by the integrated logic circuitry in the hardware of processor 101 or by instructions in software form. The processor 101 can be a general-purpose processor, including a Central Processing Unit (CPU), a Network Processor (NP), etc.; it can also be a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), or other programmable logic devices, discrete gate or transistor logic devices, or discrete hardware components.

[0088] In an optional embodiment, the step of controlling the second virtual character to release a target attack behavior determined from multiple attack behaviors in the game scene includes: if the target attack behavior is a first type of attack behavior, controlling the second virtual character to attack the target aiming range so as to produce a corresponding attack effect within the target aiming range; if the target attack behavior is a second type of attack behavior, controlling the second virtual character to attack the aiming target character so as to produce a corresponding attack effect on the aiming target character.

[0089] In an optional embodiment, the graphical user interface displays a crosshair, which is used to indicate the aiming direction of the second virtual character; based on this, the step of determining the target character among at least one first virtual character includes: in response to the aiming direction indicated by the crosshair and the target first virtual character in the game scene satisfying a specified condition, determining the target first virtual character as the target character.

[0090] In an optional embodiment, the method further includes: in response to the target first virtual character being determined as the aiming target character, associating the target first virtual character with a selection flag, and / or displaying the target first virtual character in a first display mode; wherein the first display mode is different from the second display mode of the first virtual character in the game scene other than the aiming target character.

[0091] In an optional embodiment, the graphical user interface described above includes a skill control; the skill control is used to indicate the operation method of the attack operation.

[0092] In an optional embodiment, the method further includes: in response to selecting a target character or switching the selected target character, dynamically displaying prompt information on the skill control corresponding to the target attack behavior determined according to the relative orientation relationship.
