[0001] This disclosure claims priority to a Chinese patent application bearing application number 202210197638.3 and entitled "Skill indicator display method, device and electronic device," filed on March 2, 2022, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. [Technical Field]

[0002] The present disclosure relates to the field of man-machine interaction, and in particular to a method for displaying a skill indicator, a display device for a skill indicator, an electronic device, and a machine-readable storage medium. [Background technology]

[0003] In combat games, the scene map of a game scene is typically composed of a series of polygons, such as a rectangle or hexagon. Compared to a rectangle, a hexagonal scene map has many advantages, such as the largest area for the same perimeter, equal distances from the center of a cell to the center of adjacent cells in all directions, and deeper control. For area-of-effect attack skills, a skill indicator is typically displayed before the skill is released, indicating the damage area after the skill is released based on the skill's release direction and damage range. Because the skill's damage range is typically a standard shape, such as a circle, rectangle, fan, or tapered shape, the damage area indicated by the skill indicator cannot be absolutely matched to the hexagon on the map. This makes it difficult for users to determine whether a certain hexagonal area has been attacked based on the damage area indicated by the skill indicator, resulting in poor indication effectiveness and affecting users' combat decisions.

[0022] In order to clarify the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the technical solutions of the present disclosure will be described below clearly and completely with reference to the drawings, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor also fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0023] Many virtual scene applications, such as combat games, require users to configure a scene map to control the movement of characters within the map. Compared to rectangular maps, hexagonal scene maps have the largest area for the same perimeter, the same distance from the center of a cell to the center of adjacent cells in all directions, and deeper strategies, leading to increasingly widespread application. During combat, users can control their characters to unleash range-damaging skills. To maximize combat strategies within the hexagonal map, it is important to accurately and clearly display the skill damage range to users using skill indicators before the skill damage is activated.

[0024] Skill indicators are generated based on a certain size and direction and are controls for indicating the scene area covered by a skill's range of action. They have a variety of shapes, including rectangular, circular, fan-shaped, and tapered. In related art, skill indicators are generated and displayed using a purely physical method. FIG. 1 shows an example of a rectangular skill indicator indicating a damage area. A related coordinate system (e.g., a two-dimensional coordinate system) is established within a hexagonal map scene, with a fixed point on the map as the zero point, and the position of each geometric point within the hexagon in the scene map is determined in the form of point coordinates. Here, A is the target character's position. The user locks the skill-related parameters required for the character to release and releases a skill at position B on the map. Based on the skill parameters, the damage position coordinates are estimated in the coordinate system. A skill indicator, i.e., the rectangular portion filled with twill in the figure, is generated and displayed using a direction vector obtained from the damage position coordinates and position A coordinates and a pre-fixed indicator size. However, the damage area indicated by this skill indicator is located at a position that is neither an edge nor a corner when intersecting with the hexagonal map, which can easily confuse users as to whether damage should be inflicted at positions E and C. Therefore, skill indicators generated and displayed using points on the map as the smallest calculation unit cannot take advantage of the policy depth provided by a hexagonal grid, and skill indicators generated by this method generally intersect with the hexagon at a position that is neither an edge nor a corner, making it impossible to clearly determine whether the intersecting area has been damaged, which has a very strong confusing effect on users' understanding of hexagons and their use of hexagons to combine strategies, resulting in poor indication by the skill indicator and affecting users' combat decision-making.

[0025] Based on this, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for displaying a skill indicator, a display device for a skill indicator, a machine-readable storage medium, and an electronic device, which may be applied to games or other virtual scenes, and in particular to skill instructions in combat-based games.

[0026] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method for displaying a skill indicator can be executed by a local touch terminal device or a server. If the method for displaying a skill indicator is executed by a server, the method may be implemented and executed based on a cloud interactive system, where the cloud interactive system includes a server and a client device.

[0027] In an alternative embodiment, the cloud interactive system may execute various cloud applications, such as cloud gaming. Taking cloud gaming as an example, cloud gaming refers to a gaming method based on cloud computing. In a cloud gaming execution mode, the entity that executes the game program and the entity that presents the game screen are separated. The storage and execution of the skill indicator display method are completed on the cloud game server. The role of the client device is to receive and transmit data and present the game screen. The client device may be, for example, a display device with a data transmission function close to the user, such as a mobile terminal, television, computer, or personal digital assistant (PDA), or the information transmission method may be performed by a cloud game server. When playing a game, a player operates the client device to send operation commands to the cloud game server. 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 client device via a network. Finally, the client device decodes the data and outputs the game screen.

[0028] In an alternative embodiment, taking a game as an example, the local touch terminal device is configured to store a game program and present a game screen. The local touch terminal device is configured to interact with a player through a graphical user interface, i.e., a game program is downloaded, installed, and executed using a typical electronic device. The local touch terminal device may present the graphical user interface to the player in a variety of ways, such as by rendering and displaying it on a terminal display or by holographic projection. For example, the local touch terminal device may include a display and a processor, the display being used to present the graphical user interface, the graphical user interface including a game screen, and the processor being configured to execute the game, generate the graphical user interface, and control the display of the graphical user interface on the display.

[0029] In an alternative embodiment, the present disclosure provides a method for displaying a skill indicator, in which a graphical user interface is provided by a touch terminal device. The touch terminal device may be the local touch terminal device described above or a client device in the cloud interactive system described above. The touch terminal device provides a graphical user interface, which can display screen content such as a game scene screen or a communication interaction window depending on the type of application program launched. In this embodiment, a virtual scene is displayed on the graphical user interface. The virtual scene may be a simulation environment of the real world, a virtual environment that is half simulated and half fictional, or a completely fictional virtual environment. The virtual scene is composed of a plurality of consecutively arranged scene units, each of which has a hexagonal shape. That is, the virtual scene is composed of consecutively arranged hexagons, and all six sides of each hexagon are adjacent to other hexagons except for the hexagons located on the edges. To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, a method for displaying a skill indicator disclosed in an embodiment of the present disclosure will first be described in detail. As shown in Fig. 2, a graphical user interface is provided by a terminal device, and a virtual scene is displayed on the graphical user interface. The virtual scene is composed of a plurality of consecutively arranged scene units, and each scene unit is hexagonal. The method for displaying a skill indicator includes the following steps S202 to S206. Here, in step S202, in response to a trigger operation on a target skill, a release position and a damage range of the target skill are determined, where the release position is one scene unit in the virtual scene, the release position is located in the damage range, and the damage range includes a plurality of scene units.

[0030] Skills are various special functions that can assist interactions between a target character and other characters in a virtual scene, and skill types of skills may include attack skills, defense skills, healing skills, etc. Skills are further classified into directional skills and range skills, and directional skills are skills that require the specification of a release direction or release target during the skill release process. Range skills are skills that require the specification of a release range during the skill release process, and the release range can be determined by the specified shape and release distance.

[0031] Here, a target skill is a range-based ability that a user controls to be used or released by a target character to attack and damage other virtual characters. The skill damage shape can be rectangular, circular, fan-shaped, tapered, etc., and the damage distance can be set in various ways. The user can control the target character to release a target skill at a certain hexagonal scene unit in a virtual scene, triggering a range-based damage effect at that location and causing a certain damage range in the scene. Here, the location of the hexagonal scene unit is the release location, and the damage range may be determined based on the skill damage shape and damage distance parameters, and is a plurality of scene units including the release location. For example, if the skill damage shape is circular, the damage range includes the release location and a plurality of hexagonal scene units centered on the release range, and the outline of the plurality of hexagonal scene units is relatively close to a circle.

[0032] The trigger operation is a user operation acting on the skill button received by the client, and the client generates a trigger command based on the received user operation. Exemplarily, the user operation may be at least one of an operation on a user interface control, a voice operation, a motion operation, a character operation, a mouse operation, a keyboard operation, and a game stick operation.

[0033] For example, in step S202, a user triggers a skill control in the graphical user interface or in a specified window within the graphical user interface to control the target character and release a target skill. In response to the user's trigger operation, the release position and damage range of the target skill are determined. Specifically, the release position may be determined by the position of a hexagonal scene unit where the skill release point is located, and the damage range may be determined by the set of hexagonal scene unit positions covered by the skill's damage distance. Here, the release position and damage range are determined using the hexagonal scene unit as the smallest unit, which closely matches the damage range area with the virtual scene and improves the accuracy of the damage range.

[0034] In step S204, direction information of the skill indicator of the target skill is determined based on the relative positions of the multiple designated scene units in the damage range.

[0035] As described above, the skill indicator has a certain size and a determined direction and is used to indicate the damage range after the target skill is released. The indicator shape is generally the same as the skill damage shape, including a rectangular indicator, a circular indicator, a fan-shaped indicator, and a tapered indicator. The damage range indicated by the skill indicator includes multiple hexagonal scene units, with the hexagonal scene unit being the smallest measurement unit. The directional information of the skill indicator is determined based on the relative positions of multiple specified scene units in the damage range. Specifically, the target scene unit farthest from the release position in the damage range is obtained, and the directional information of the skill indicator of the target skill can be determined based on the relationship between the connecting line between the target scene unit and the release position and the sides and corners of the hexagon.

[0036] Specifically, if the skill damage shape is circular, the directional information of the skill indicator may be the direction of one diameter of the circle, and if the skill damage shape is other shapes, the directional information of the skill indicator is usually related to the skill release direction. For example, if the damage shape is rectangular, the directional information of the skill indicator is the direction of the longitudinal center line of the rectangle.

[0037] In step S206, a skill indicator is generated and displayed based on indicator parameters preset for the target skill, with the release position as the reference, along the direction indicated by the direction information.

[0038] The indicator parameters preset for the target skill are size parameters, shape parameters, etc. of the skill indicator, and can be determined and preset based on the damage shape and damage distance of the target skill. Specifically, the size parameters of the skill indicator are preset according to the damage shape of the target skill, and different size parameters are preset for different damage shapes, and the parameter numerical size of the skill indicator can be preset according to the damage distance.

[0039] Furthermore, starting from the emission position, a skill indicator is generated and displayed along the direction indicated by the direction information according to the preset size parameter. In this case, a hexagonal scene unit is used as the smallest measurement unit for calculating the display of the skill indicator, which is highly compatible with the virtual scene structure connected in hexagons, improving the indicating effect of the skill indicator and further improving the efficiency of user man-machine interaction.

[0040] The above-mentioned skill indicator display method includes providing a graphical user interface on a terminal device, displaying a virtual scene on the graphical user interface, the virtual scene being composed of a plurality of consecutively arranged scene units, each of which is hexagonal, and determining the release position and damage range of the target skill in response to a trigger operation on the target skill, wherein the release position is one scene unit in the virtual scene, the release position is located in the damage range, and the damage range includes a plurality of scene units, and determining directional information of the skill indicator of the target skill based on the relative positions of the plurality of specified scene units in the damage range, and generating and displaying a skill indicator based on indicator parameters preset for the target skill, with the release position as the reference, along the direction indicated by the directional information. In this method, the skill release position and damage range are determined in hexagonal scene units, directional information is determined based on the specified scene units in the damage range, and a skill indicator is generated and displayed based on parameters such as directional information and release position. The skill indicator and skill damage range generated in this way have a high degree of matching, which is advantageous for users to quickly determine whether a certain hexagonal area has been attacked based on the skill indicator, and the skill damage range is accurately and clearly displayed, which improves the indicating effect of the skill indicator and further improves the user's man-machine interaction efficiency.

[0041] The following example provides a specific implementation for determining the release location and damage range of a target skill.

[0042] In response to a drag operation acting on the skill control of the target skill, the release position of the target skill is determined based on the drag position of the skill control, and in the hexagonal coordinate system of the virtual scene, coordinate information for each scene in the damage range of the target skill is determined based on the damage range parameters and release position preset for the target skill, and the coordinate information for each scene in the damage range of the target skill is determined as the damage range of the target skill.

[0043] First, the user drags the skill control to move it between hexagonal scene units in the virtual scene, and the real-time position of the skill control is the release position where the user controls the target character to release the target skill. Note that if the user drags the skill control to move it in the virtual scene, the skill control will not be released and the skill will not be released.

[0044] Next, in the hexagonal coordinate system of the virtual scene, coordinate information for each scene unit in the damage range of the target skill is determined based on the damage range parameters and release position preset for the target skill. The hexagonal coordinate system is a coordinate system expanded in three directions of the hexagonal scene units in the scene. As shown in FIG. 3, taking a virtual scene connected with regular hexagonal scene units as an example, the regular hexagonal scene units in the virtual scene are used as a measurement unit, and a regular hexagon (the dotted area in the figure) is used as the coordinate origin to establish a regular hexagonal coordinate system to represent the position of each scene unit in the scene. In this way, the position of each object in the virtual scene can be represented by the coordinates of the corresponding scene unit. The preset damage range parameters refer to the relative coordinate parameters of the damage range preset for the target skill, and can be read from the relative coordinate set of the damage range based on the damage shape and damage distance parameters of the target skill.

[0045] In one embodiment, the relative coordinate set of the damage range is a coordinate set of the damage range corresponding to each release position set based on skill parameters of different damage shapes and damage distances in a hexagonal coordinate system, and the set is obtained by calculating relative coordinates with the release position as the origin. Furthermore, an addition process can be performed based on the read preset damage range parameter and the coordinate of the skill release position positioned in the hexagonal coordinate system to obtain coordinate information for each scene in the skill damage range.

[0046] Finally, the damage range of the target skill is shown as a set of coordinates for each scene within the damage range.

[0047] In this step, the hexagonal coordinates are used to accurately position the target skill release position and damage range, and the method of obtaining the coordinates of the damage range using the relative coordinates of the preset damage range is simple and convenient, and greatly reduces the calculation pressure of the computer.

[0048] The following example provides a specific implementation of determining the direction information of the skill indicator.

[0049] The target scene unit farthest from the emission position in the damage range is obtained, and the direction information of the skill indicator of the target skill is determined based on the relationship between the connecting line between the target scene unit and the emission position and the sides and corners of the hexagon.

[0050] The target scene unit farthest from the emission position may be one or more. Taking one target scene unit as an example, the relationship between the connection line between the target scene unit and the emission position and the sides and corners of the hexagon may include multiple types. For example, the connection line between the target scene unit and the emission position may be perpendicular to any side of the hexagonal scene unit, may pass through any corner of the hexagonal scene unit, or may not be perpendicular to any side or pass through any corner.

[0051] If the connection line between the target scene unit and the emission position is perpendicular to any side of the hexagonal scene unit or passes through any corner of the hexagonal scene unit, the direction of the connection line between the target scene unit and the emission position can be used as the direction information of the skill indicator. If the connection line between the target scene unit and the emission position is not perpendicular to any side of the hexagonal scene unit or does not pass through any corner of the hexagonal scene unit, multiple target scene units need to be obtained, and the connection line between the center point of the multiple target scene units and the emission position should be perpendicular to any side of the hexagonal scene unit or pass through any corner of the hexagonal scene unit.

[0052] For ease of understanding, Figure 4 shows an example in which A is the position of the target character, and the area in which scene units 1-10 are located is the area in which the target skill will emit target scene unit No. 1, with the damage distance being the damage range for four scene units. Here, target scene No. 10 is determined as the target scene unit farthest from the emission position. Furthermore, the direction information of the skill indicator of the target skill is determined based on the relationship between the connecting line between the target scene unit and the emission position and the sides and corners of the hexagon.

[0053] Specifically, if the connecting line between the target scene unit and the release position satisfies a specified condition, the directional information of the skill indicator of the target skill is determined based on the target scene unit and the release position. The specified condition includes that the connecting line between the target scene unit and the release position is perpendicular to any side of a hexagon or passes through any corner of the hexagon. If the connecting line between the target scene unit and the release position does not satisfy the specified condition, the directional information of the skill indicator of the target skill is determined based on the target scene unit, its adjacent scene units, and the release position. The distance between the adjacent scene unit and the release position is not smaller than the distance between the release position and the scene units other than the target scene unit in the damage range. The adjacent scene unit can be understood to be the scene unit farthest from the release side of the scene units other than the target scene unit. The distance between the adjacent scene unit and the release position may be the same as or different from the distance between the target scene unit and the release unit.

[0054] The perpendicular positional relationship between the connection line between the target scene unit and the emission position and any one side of the hexagon can be schematically shown by the positional relationship of the line segments in Figure 5, and the positional relationship in which the connection line between the target scene unit and the emission position passes through any one corner of the hexagon can be schematically shown by the positional relationship of the line segments in Figure 6.

[0055] In one embodiment, the position coordinates of the scene units in the hexagonal coordinate system can be used to determine whether the connection line between the target scene unit and the emission position satisfies the above-mentioned specified condition. Specifically, the coordinates of the emission position are (a1, b1, c1), the coordinates of the target scene unit are (a2, b2, c2), and the difference values ​​in each direction, i.e., d a =a2-a1,d b =b2-b1,d c =c2-c1, and then calculate d a , d b , d c If only one of the is 0, then the connection line between the target scene unit and the emission position is perpendicular to any side of the hexagon, anda , d b , d c If none of the three are zero, but only two of the three are equal, then the connection line between the target scene unit and the emission location passes through any one corner of the hexagon, and d a , d b , d c If these three are different from each other, the connection line between the target scene unit and the emission position does not satisfy the above specified condition.

[0056] Depending on whether the connecting line between the target scene unit and the release position satisfies the specified condition, different methods are used to calculate the directional information of the skill indicator. Specifically, taking FIG. 4 as an example, if the connecting line between the target scene unit and the release position satisfies the specified condition, the directional information of the skill indicator of the target skill is determined based on the positions of hexagonal scene units 1 and 10. If the connecting line between the target scene unit and the release position does not satisfy the specified condition, the positional distance between scene units 9 and 1 is not smaller than the distance between scene units other than 10 scene unit and 1 in the damage range, and the adjacent scene unit should be hexagonal scene unit 9, so the directional information of the skill indicator of the target skill is determined based on the positions of hexagonal scene units 10, 9, and 1.

[0057] The specific calculation method for determining the direction information of the skill indicator of the target skill is described below. In one embodiment, if the connection line between the target scene unit and the emission position satisfies a specified condition, the difference in the coordinate information between the target scene unit and the emission position is determined as the direction information of the skill indicator of the target skill.

[0058] Specifically, if the connection line between the target scene unit and the release position satisfies the specified condition, and the coordinates of the release position within the coordinate set of the damage range are (a1, b1, c1), and the coordinates of the target scene unit are (a2, b2, c2), the direction information of the skill indicator is (a 2― a1,b 2― b1,c 2―c1). The direction of the connection line between the target scene unit and the emission position can be understood as the direction information of the skill indicator.

[0059] In another aspect, if the connection line between the target scene unit and the emission position does not satisfy the specified condition, the sum of the coordinate information of the target scene unit and the adjacent scene unit is calculated; in the middle Get the results, in the middle The difference in coordinate information between the result and the release position is determined as the direction information of the skill indicator of the target skill.

[0060] Specifically, if the connection line between the target scene unit and the release position does not satisfy the specified conditions, and the coordinates of the release position are (a1, b1, c1), the coordinates of the target scene unit are (a2, b2, c2), and the coordinates of the adjacent scene unit are (a3, b3, c3), the directional information of the skill indicator is (a2 + a3 - 2a1, b2 + b3 - 2b1, c2 + c3 - 2c1).

[0061] The following examples provide specific implementations of displaying skill indicators.

[0062] Based on the shape of the damage range and the damage distance of the target skill, the size parameters of the skill indicator are determined, and the skill indicator is generated and displayed starting from the emission position along the direction indicated by the direction information, where the display size of the skill indicator matches the size parameters.

[0063] Specifically, the shape of the skill indicator matches the damage shape of the target skill, and different size parameters are preset for different damage range shapes. For example, indicator length and width parameters are set for rectangular damage shapes, and radius parameters are set for fan-shaped, tapered, and circular damage shapes. The parameter values ​​of the skill indicator are preset based on the skill damage distance. In one embodiment, taking a rectangle as an example, if the damage distance can reach a maximum of four scene units, the indicator width remains constant at three scene units. When the damage distance increases from one scene unit to four scene units, the indicator length is 1.5, 3, 4.75, and 6.25 scene units, respectively. Furthermore, a skill indicator is generated and displayed starting from the emission position along the direction indicated by the direction information.

[0064] For ease of understanding, Figure 7 shows a schematic diagram of a rectangular indicator indicating a damage range in one embodiment, where the filled-in rectangle in the diagram is the generated rectangular indicator, the dotted hexagonal area is the damage range indicated by the indicator, the dashed arrow direction is the directional information of the indicator, and the solid arrow direction is the direction of the target skill's release. As can be seen from Figure 7, the skill indicator generated by the method of this embodiment has a high IoU (Intersection-over-Union) with the skill's damage range, i.e., the skill indicator and the damage range have a high degree of matching, and the skill indicator can clearly indicate which hexagonal scene unit has been attacked by the target skill.

[0065] This embodiment provides another specific implementation method, and the data processing logic process of this method is shown in Figure 8. The skill indicator display process will be described in detail below.

[0066] 1) Get the set of coordinates of the actual damage range.

[0067] As shown in Figure 7, A is the position of the target character, and the area where scene units 1-10 are located is the damage range caused by the target character releasing a skill with a damage distance of three scene units, with hexagon No. 1, which has a distance of three scene units, as the release position. A hexagonal scene unit is the smallest measurement unit, and the emission position is the origin, establishing a hexagonal coordinate system. The damage range coordinates consisting of the 10 scene units are 1-(0,0,0), 2-(1,-1,0), 3-(-1,1,0), 4-(1,0,-1), 5-(0,1,-1), 6-(0,2,-2), 7-(2,0,-2), 8-(1,1,-2), 9-(2,1,-3), 10-(1,2,-3). Here, the 10th scene unit is the farthest from the emission position and is determined to be the target scene unit. The position distance between the 9th and 1st scene units is not smaller than the distance between the 1st and 1st scene units other than the 10th scene unit in the damage range, and the 9th scene unit is determined to be the adjacent scene unit.

[0068] 2) Based on the position coordinates, determine whether the connection line between the target scene unit and the emission position satisfies the condition.

[0069] The coordinates of the emission position within the damage range are (0,0,0), and the coordinates of the target scene unit are (1,2,-3). Calculate the difference values ​​in each direction, and a =1,d b =3,d c = -3, and d a , d b , d c are not 0 and are different from each other, and the connection line between the target scene unit and the emission position does not satisfy the specified condition.

[0070] 3) Based on the judgment result, the direction information of the indicator is calculated using the coordinates of the target scene unit, the coordinates of the adjacent scene units, and the coordinates of the emission position.

[0071] If the coordinates of the release position within the damage range set are (a1, b1, c1) = (0, 0, 0), the coordinates of the target scene unit are (a2, b2, c2) = (1, 2, -3), and the coordinates of the adjacent scene unit are (a3, b3, c3) = (2, 1, -3), then the direction vector of the skill indicator is (a2 + a3 - 2a1, b2 + b3 - 2b1, c2 + c3 - 2c1) = (3, 3, -6).

[0072] 4) Obtaining preset indicator parameters based on the damage shape and length.

[0073] As mentioned above, if the damage distance is 3 scene units, the length of the rectangular indicator is 4.75 scene units on a side, and the width is 3 scene units on a side.

[0074] 5) Calculate and display the specific position of the indicator.

[0075] The coordinates of the emission position (0,0,0) are used as the center starting point of the rectangle, and (3,3,-6) is used as the direction. The skill indicator is generated and displayed with the side lengths of 4.75 scene units, the side lengths of 3 scene units, and the width parameter values.

[0076] It should be noted that the damage range indicated by the indicator is highlighted at the same time as the indicator is displayed.

[0077] In the above-mentioned skill indicator display method, the display range of the skill indicator is accurately calculated based on the preset size of the skill indicator and the calculated direction information, thereby accurately and clearly displaying the damage range, improving the indicating effect of the skill indicator and further improving the efficiency of the user's man-machine interaction.

Additionally or alternatively, some steps may be omitted, multiple steps may be combined into a single step, and / or a single step may be broken down into multiple steps, etc.
