DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] Hereinafter, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, and not all embodiments, and based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, any other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art without any creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0014] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a targeting method, an apparatus, a computer device, and a storage medium. Specifically, the targeting method of the embodiments of the present disclosure may be executed by a computer device, which may be a device such as a terminal or a server. The terminal may be a terminal device such as a smartphone, a tablet PC, a laptop, a touchscreen, a game console, a personal computer (PC), or a personal digital assistant (PDA). The terminal may further include a client, which may be a game application client, a browser client carrying a game program, an instant messaging client, or the like. The server may be an independent physical server, a server cluster or distributed system consisting of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, CDNs, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

[0015] For example, when the targeting method is executed on a terminal, the terminal device stores a game application program and presents a virtual scene on a game screen. The terminal device is configured to interact with a user through a graphical user interface, for example, by downloading, installing, and running a game application program. The terminal device may provide the graphical user interface to the user in a variety of ways, for example, by rendering and displaying the graphical user interface on a display screen of the terminal device, or by presenting the graphical user interface through holographic projection. For example, the terminal device may include a touch display screen that presents a graphical user interface including a game screen and receives user operation commands acting on the graphical user interface, and a processor that executes the game, generates the graphical user interface, responds to the operation commands, and controls the display of the graphical user interface on the touch display screen.

[0016] For example, if the targeting method is executed by a server, it may be a cloud game. Cloud gaming refers to a gaming method based on cloud computing. In the execution mode of cloud gaming, the entity that executes the game application and the entity that presents the game screen are separated, and the storage and execution of the targeting method are completed on the cloud game server. The presentation of the game screen is completed on the cloud game client, which is mainly used to receive and transmit game data and present the game screen. For example, the cloud game client may be a display device with data transmission capabilities close to the user, such as a mobile terminal, television, computer, palmtop computer, or personal digital assistant, but the terminal device that processes the game data is the cloud game server. When playing a game, the user operates the cloud game client to send operation commands to the cloud game server, and the cloud game server executes the game based on the operation commands, encodes and compresses data such as game screens, and returns the data to the cloud game client via a network. Finally, the cloud game client decodes the data and outputs the game screen.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a scene schematic diagram of an aiming system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The system may include at least one terminal, at least one server, at least one database, and a network. A terminal owned by a user can be connected to different game servers via the network. A terminal is any device having computing hardware capable of supporting and executing software products corresponding to a game. When the system includes multiple terminals, multiple servers, and multiple networks, different terminals may be connected to each other via different networks and different servers. The network may be a wireless network or a wired network, such as a wireless LAN (WLAN), a local area network (LAN), a cellular network, a 2G network, a 3G network, a 4G network, a 5G network, etc. Different terminals may also be connected to other terminals, servers, etc. using their own Bluetooth networks or hotspot networks. For example, to support multiplayer games, multiple users can go online through different terminals, connect via an appropriate network, and synchronize with each other. The system may also include multiple databases coupled to different servers, and information about the game environment may be continuously stored in the database when different users play multiplayer games online.

[0018] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an aiming method, which may be executed by a terminal or a server. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, an example is described in which the aiming method is executed by a terminal. Here, the terminal may include a touch display screen and a processor (obviously, the terminal may employ external devices such as a mouse and a keyboard as input devices; here, a touch display screen is used as an example). The touch display screen is configured to receive a graphical user interface and a user's operation command acting on the graphical user interface. When a user operates the graphical user interface through the touch display screen, the graphical user interface may control local content of the terminal in response to the received operation command, or may control content of an opposing server in response to the received operation command. For example, the operation command generated by the user for the graphical user interface includes an instruction to launch a game application program, and the processor is configured to launch the game application program after receiving the instruction to launch the game application program provided by the user. The processor is also configured to render and draw a graphical user interface related to the game on the touch display screen. The touch display screen is a multi-touch screen that can sense touch or slide operations performed simultaneously at multiple points on the screen. When a user performs a touch operation on a graphical user interface using a finger, and the graphical user interface detects the touch operation, different virtual objects in the graphical user interface of a game are controlled to perform actions corresponding to the touch operation. For example, the game may be any of games such as casual games, action games, role-playing games, strategy games, sports games, puzzle games, etc. Here, the game may include a virtual game scene depicted in the graphical user interface.The virtual scene of the game may also include one or more virtual objects, such as a virtual character controlled by a user (or player). The virtual scene of the game may also include one or more obstacles, such as handrails, ditches, or walls, to restrict the movement of the virtual objects, for example, to restrict the movement of one or more objects to a specific area within the virtual scene. Optionally, the virtual scene of the game may further include one or more elements, such as skill, score, character health, or energy, to provide help to the player, provide virtual services, and increase a score associated with the player's performance. The graphical user interface may also display one or more indicators to provide instructional information to the player. For example, a game may include a player-controlled virtual object and one or more other virtual objects, such as enemy characters. In one embodiment, the one or more other virtual objects are controlled by other players of the game. For example, the one or more other virtual objects may be controlled by a computer, such as a robot using an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm, to realize a human-machine battle mode. For example, the virtual objects have various skills and abilities that allow the game player to achieve targets. For example, a virtual object may possess one or more weapons, implements, tools, etc. for eliminating other objects from the game. Such skills or abilities may be activated by a game player using one of a number of predefined touch operations on a touch display screen of the terminal. The processor may be configured to display a corresponding game screen in response to an operation command generated by a user's touch operation.

[0019] It should be noted that the schematic diagram of the aiming system scene shown in Figure 1 is only an example, and the aiming system and scene described in the embodiments of the present disclosure are intended to more clearly explain the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure and do not limit the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Those skilled in the art will understand that with the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure can be similarly applied to similar technical problems.

[0020] In view of the above, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide an aiming method, an apparatus, a computer device, and a storage medium that can improve the game interaction efficiency of a player in a game. Each of these will be described in detail below. Note that the order in which the following embodiments are described does not limit the preferred order of the embodiments.

[0021] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an aiming method, which may be performed by a terminal or a server. The embodiment of the present disclosure describes an example in which the aiming method is performed by a terminal, in which the method provides a graphical user interface by a terminal device, and the content displayed on the graphical user interface includes at least a portion of a virtual scene and at least a portion of a virtual object located in the virtual scene.

[0022] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a graphical user interface displays a game screen (game view screen), which includes a virtual scene. The virtual scene is a virtual environment displayed (or provided) when an application program runs on a terminal. The virtual environment may be a simulation of the real world, a semi-simulated and semi-fictional three-dimensional environment, or a purely fictional three-dimensional environment. The virtual environment is used for a virtual environment battle between at least two virtual objects, and the virtual environment has virtual resources available to the at least two virtual objects. For example, the graphical user interface may display a virtual scene, which may include one or more virtual objects, including a first virtual object, a second virtual object, and a third virtual object, where the first virtual object is a virtual object of the same camp as the second virtual object and the third virtual object is a virtual object of a different camp from the first virtual object and the second virtual object. In a virtual scene, a first virtual object, a second virtual object, and a third virtual object may exist simultaneously, which will be described here by way of example and not limitation. A virtual object (or hero) is an object that can move in a virtual environment. A virtual object may be a virtual character in a game controlled by a user or player through a terminal. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, a first virtual object refers to a virtual object in a game controlled by a current player through a terminal, i.e., a virtual object controlled by the current player. A second virtual object in the same camp as the first virtual object or a third virtual object in an opposing camp to the first virtual object refers to a virtual object in a game controlled by another user through a terminal, i.e., a virtual object controlled by a user at the other end.

[0023] Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a flowchart of an aiming method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and the specific flow of the aiming method may be the following steps 101 to 104.

[0024] In step 101, in response to an aiming operation triggered based on a virtual shooting tool, a sight corresponding to the virtual shooting tool is displayed in the virtual scene.

[0025] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the computer device can trigger the display of a sight of the virtual shooting tool in the graphical user interface in response to an aiming operation triggered based on the virtual shooting tool, and display a sight corresponding to the virtual shooting tool in the virtual scene, the sight being an icon for assisting a player in operating the virtual shooting tool to perform a shooting attack.

[0026] In one specific embodiment, the player clicks on an aiming control set in the graphical user interface, and the computer device causes the first virtual object operated by the player to perform an aiming function in accordance with the aiming operation triggered by the player clicking on the aiming control. In this case, the player can use a touch operation to operate a sight corresponding to the aiming operation and move it accordingly in the virtual scene.

[0027] In step 102, a virtual object capture area consisting of a plurality of capture points is generated based on the sight.

[0028] In one embodiment, a virtual object capturing area can be generated based on a preset radius around the sight, with multiple capture points distributed equidistantly around the edge of the virtual object capturing area. For example, referring to FIG. 3 , a graphical user interface is displayed on a touch display screen of a computer device. Content displayed on the graphical user interface includes a virtual scene and a first candidate virtual object and a second candidate virtual object, which are at least some virtual objects located in the virtual scene. A player clicks an aiming control on the graphical user interface. In response to the aiming operation triggered by the player clicking the aiming control, the computer device displays a sight corresponding to a virtual shooting tool in the virtual scene. A virtual object capturing area can be generated based on a preset radius of 5 meters around the sight, with multiple capture points distributed equidistantly around the edge of the virtual object capturing area. Note that both the virtual object capturing area and the capture points are invisible to the player.

[0029] In order to determine an acceleration movement region of the front sight, the step of "generating a virtual object capturing region based on the front sight" includes: The method includes a step of generating a plurality of circular regions based on the front sight, wherein the plurality of circular regions are configured to form the virtual object capture region, the plurality of circular regions are concentric circles, and between two adjacent circular regions, the radius of a circular region closer to the front sight becomes smaller, the interval between two adjacent circular regions is the same or different, a plurality of capture points are distributed equidistantly on the edge of each circular region, the front sight acceleration corresponding to the capture points in the same circular region is the same, and the front sight acceleration corresponding to the capture points in the circular region closer to the front sight becomes larger.

[0030] Here, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the multiple circular regions generated based on the front sight are all concentric circles, and the interval between two adjacent circular regions may be the same or different. For example, the interval between two adjacent circular regions in the multiple circular regions generated based on the front sight may be the same interval value. Also, for example, the interval between each two adjacent circular regions in the multiple circular regions generated based on the front sight may be different interval values. The specific interval value setting rule may be a parameter customized by the creator. For example, the interval value setting rule is such that the interval between each two adjacent circular regions far from the front sight is larger than the interval between each two adjacent circular regions close to the front sight. Here, the description is given by way of example only, and other aspects are not limited to these.

[0031] For example, referring to FIG. 4, a graphical user interface is displayed on a touch display screen of a computer device, and content displayed on the graphical user interface includes a virtual scene and a first candidate virtual object and a second candidate virtual object that are at least some of virtual objects located in the virtual scene. A player clicks an aiming control provided on the graphical user interface, and the computer device displays a virtual shooting tool in the virtual scene in response to the aiming operation triggered by the player clicking the aiming control. A corresponding sight is displayed, and a plurality of circular regions, i.e., a first circular region, a second circular region, and a third circular region, can be generated based on the sight, the first circular region and the second circular region are concentric circles, and a plurality of capture points are equidistantly distributed on the edge of each circular region, and the acceleration corresponding to the capture point belonging to the first circular region is a, that is, the sight acceleration of the capture point in the first circular region is a, the acceleration corresponding to the capture point belonging to the second circular region is 2a, that is, the sight acceleration of the capture point in the second circular region is 2a, and the acceleration corresponding to the capture point belonging to the third circular region is 3a, that is, the sight acceleration of the capture point in the third circular region is 3a. When the target virtual object overlaps with the capture point in a certain circular region, the sight movement speed V1 at this time can be calculated according to the formula V1=V0+at, where V0 is the current sight movement speed of the sight, and a is the sight acceleration. According to the above processing, the acceleration between adjacent circular areas is increased by a factor the closer the area is to the front sight, so that the front sight acceleration corresponding to the capture point of the circular area is increased the closer the area is to the front sight, thereby making it possible to increase the movement speed of the front sight.

[0032] Optionally, the acceleration corresponding to the capture point belonging to the first circular region may be a1, the acceleration corresponding to the capture point belonging to the second circular region may be a2, and the acceleration corresponding to the capture point belonging to the third circular region may be a3, where the value of a1 is smaller than a2 and the value of a2 is smaller than a3, so that the closer the circular region to the front sight, the larger the front sight acceleration corresponding to the capture point of that circular region, and the faster the front sight moving speed.

[0033] Alternatively, a graphical user interface is displayed on a touch display screen of the computer device, and content displayed on the graphical user interface includes a virtual scene and a first candidate virtual object and a second candidate virtual object that are at least some of virtual objects located in the virtual scene, and a player clicks an aiming control provided on the graphical user interface, and the computer device displays a sight corresponding to a virtual shooting tool on the virtual scene in response to the aiming operation triggered by the player clicking the aiming control. and based on the front sight, a plurality of circular regions, i.e., a first circular region, a second circular region, and a third circular region, can be generated, the first circular region and the second circular region being concentric circles, and a plurality of capture points are distributed equidistantly on the edge of each circular region, and the acceleration corresponding to the capture points belonging to the first circular region is smaller than the acceleration corresponding to the capture points belonging to the second circular region, which in turn is smaller than the acceleration corresponding to the capture points belonging to the third circular region, so that the closer the circular region to the front sight, the larger the front sight acceleration corresponding to the capture points in that circular region can be, and the faster the front sight moving speed can be.

[0034] In one embodiment, the step of "generating a virtual object capturing area based on the front sight" includes: The method includes a step of generating a virtual object capturing area based on a preset radius with the front sight as the center of a circle, and distributing a plurality of capturing points equidistantly on the edge of the virtual object capturing area.

[0035] In order to detect whether the virtual object overlaps with the capture point, the step of "generating a virtual object capture area based on the sight" includes: The step of providing the plurality of acquisition points around the front sight includes the step of each acquisition point in the plurality of acquisition points projecting a detection line into the virtual scene, the detection line being configured for collision detection with the virtual object.

[0036] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, each capture point is an end point, and the end point of each capture point generates multiple detection rays based on a preset length, where the detection rays are configured to detect whether a virtual object overlaps with the capture point, and each detection ray corresponds to one capture point.

[0037] Alternatively, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, a plurality of aiming rays are generated based on a preset length with the sight as an end point, wherein the aiming rays are configured to detect whether a virtual object may be shot by a virtual shooting tool, and each aiming ray is provided with a corresponding capture point, the distance between each capture point and the sight is the same, and the launch angle of each aiming ray in the plurality of aiming rays is different.

[0038] Furthermore, the step of "determining a headsight acceleration corresponding to the overlapped target capture point in response to the target virtual object overlapping with a capture point within the virtual object capture area and the headsight movement direction being a direction toward the target virtual object" includes: determining a target capture point corresponding to a target detection line when it is detected that the target detection line among a plurality of detection lines collides with the target virtual object and the direction of the sight movement is a direction toward the target virtual object; and obtaining a front sight acceleration corresponding to the target acquisition point.

[0039] In step 103, in response to a sight movement operation on the graphical user interface, the sight and the virtual object capturing area are moved based on the sight movement operation.

[0040] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a player can generate a touch operation on a graphical user interface to generate a sight movement operation, and a computing device responds to the sight movement operation on the graphical user interface and moves the sight and the virtual object capture area based on the sight movement operation.

[0041] For example, referring to FIG. 5 , a graphical user interface is displayed on a touch display screen of a computer device, and content displayed on the graphical user interface includes a virtual scene and a first candidate virtual object and a second candidate virtual object that are at least some virtual objects located in the virtual scene. A player clicks an aiming control provided on the graphical user interface, and the computer device displays a sight corresponding to a virtual shooting tool in the virtual scene in response to the aiming operation triggered by the player clicking the aiming control, and generates a plurality of circular regions, i.e., a first circular region, a second circular region, and a third circular region, based on the sight, where the first circular region and the second circular region are concentric circles. When it is detected that the player is manipulating the sight to move it in the virtual scene, the computer device moves the sight and the virtual object capturing region based on the sight movement operation by the player on the graphical user interface.

[0042] In one embodiment, the step of "responding to a sight movement operation on the graphical user interface" includes: When it is detected that there are at least two virtual objects that overlap with different capture points within the virtual object capture area, the method includes a step of determining, in response to a sight movement operation on the graphical user interface, a movement direction of the sight and each of the virtual objects in the at least two virtual objects, and determining a target virtual object based on the movement direction, wherein the target virtual object is the virtual object that the sight movement direction is approaching.

[0043] In step 104, in response to a target virtual object overlapping with a capture point within the virtual object capture area and the headsight movement direction being a direction toward the target virtual object, a headsight acceleration corresponding to the overlapping target capture point is determined, and a headsight movement speed corresponding to the headsight movement operation is determined based on the headsight acceleration.

[0044] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, after the step of "in response to a target virtual object overlapping with a capture point within the virtual object capture area and a sight movement direction being a direction toward the target virtual object, determining a sight acceleration corresponding to the overlapped target capture point, and determining a sight movement speed corresponding to the sight movement operation based on the sight acceleration," the method further comprises: a step of controlling the sight to move to the target virtual object based on the sight movement operation; The method may further include a step of controlling the sight to automatically move to the target virtual object in response to the sight and the target virtual object satisfying a predetermined positional relationship.

[0045] Here, the preset positional relationship may be such that there is no capture point between the target virtual object and the front sight.

[0046] Specifically, in order to save the locking time of the sight, when the computer device detects that the movement direction of the sight approaches the target virtual object and there is no capture point between the target virtual object and the sight, the computer device controls the sight to automatically lock onto the target virtual object and moves the sight to the target virtual object based on the current sight movement speed, so as to align the sight with the target virtual object.

[0047] Optionally, to speed up the locking time of the sight, when the computing device detects that the sight movement direction approaches the target virtual object and there is no capture point between the target virtual object and the sight, the computing device controls the sight to automatically lock onto the target virtual object and move the sight to the target virtual object based on a preset sight movement speed, so as to quickly align the sight with the target virtual object.

[0048] Optionally, after the step of "controlling the sight to automatically move to the target virtual object in response to the sight and the target virtual object satisfying a preset positional relationship", the method further comprises: acquiring a preset adjustment parameter in response to the sight and the aimpoint detection area satisfying a preset condition, the aimpoint detection area being a detection area disposed relative to the target virtual object; The method may further include a step of slowing down the front sight movement speed based on the preset adjustment parameter.

[0049] In order to prevent the player from losing the aiming object due to an operation error after aiming, the computer device can obtain a preset adjustment parameter corresponding to the aim point detection area in response to the sight being located in the aim point detection area, and when it detects that the sight movement direction is away from the target virtual object, the computer device can slow down the sight movement speed based on the preset adjustment parameter.

[0050] In one embodiment, the graphical user interface may further include a game view screen, the game view screen including at least a portion of a virtual scene and at least a portion of a virtual object located in the virtual scene, the game view screen being a screen formed by capturing the virtual scene with a virtual camera, and the sight being displayed at a predetermined position on the game view screen. After the step of "in response to a target virtual object overlapping with a capture point within the virtual object capture area and a sight movement direction being a direction toward the target virtual object, determining a sight acceleration corresponding to the overlapped target capture point, and determining a sight movement speed corresponding to the sight movement operation based on the sight acceleration," the method determining a screen rotation speed of the game view screen based on the sight movement speed; The method can further include a step of controlling the game screen to be switched from a first game view screen to a second game view screen based on the adjusted screen rotation speed.

[0058] Based on the above description, the aiming method of the present disclosure will be further described below by taking an example. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, a specific example of the aiming method is as follows:

[0059] (1) A graphical user interface is displayed on a touch display screen of a computer device, and content displayed on the graphical user interface includes a virtual scene and a first candidate virtual object and a second candidate virtual object that are at least some of virtual objects located in the virtual scene. A player clicks an aiming control provided on the graphical user interface, and the computer device displays a sight corresponding to a virtual shooting tool in the virtual scene in response to the aiming operation triggered by the player clicking the aiming control. Then, based on the front sight, a plurality of circular regions, i.e., a first circular region, a second circular region, and a third circular region, are generated, the first circular region and the second circular region are concentric circles, and a plurality of capture points are distributed equidistantly on the edge of each circular region, the acceleration corresponding to the capture points belonging to the first circular region is a1, the acceleration corresponding to the capture points belonging to the second circular region is a2, and the acceleration corresponding to the capture points belonging to the third circular region is a3, where the value of a1 is smaller than the value of a2 and the value of a2 is smaller than the value of a3, so that the closer the circular region is to the front sight, the larger the front sight acceleration corresponding to the capture points in that circular region can be, and the faster the movement speed of the front sight can be.

[0060] (2) When it is detected that a player is manipulating the sight to move it in the virtual scene, the sight and the multiple circular areas are moved based on the sight movement operation by the player in response to the sight movement operation on the graphical user interface.

[0061] (3) When a target virtual object overlaps with a capture point within the virtual object capture area and the headsight movement direction approaches the target virtual object, obtain a headsight acceleration corresponding to the overlapping target capture point. In this case, since a second candidate virtual object overlaps with a capture point within the virtual object capture area, the second candidate virtual object is the target virtual object, and obtain a headsight acceleration corresponding to the overlapping target capture point. The circular area in which the target capture point is located is a first circular area, and the headsight acceleration corresponding to the capture point in the first circular area is a. Calculate the target movement speed based on the speed calculation formula V1=V0+at, thereby causing the headsight to move toward the target virtual object at the target movement speed until the headsight is aligned with the target virtual object, where V1 is the target movement speed, V0 is the headsight movement speed, and a is the headsight acceleration.
