Description

Method, device, medium and computer program product for interactive control of virtual objects Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of game design technology, and in particular to a method and device for interactive control of virtual objects, a computer-readable storage medium, and a computer program product. Background Art

[0002] The interaction data between virtual objects during gameplay is typically calculated on the server, with the results sent from the server to the client, which then displays the data. For example, during a battle between different characters, damage is calculated on the server and then sent to the client, which then displays the damage effect based on the calculations. However, in strategy games, where a large number of virtual objects are involved, a simpler and smoother data settlement solution is still needed at the numerical level to fully utilize server performance and enable the client to support the high frequency of virtual object interactions.

[0035] To make the purpose and technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] FIG1 is a flow chart of a method for interactive control of a virtual object according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG1 , a first embodiment includes:

[0037] In the determining step S101 , a first virtual object and a second virtual object to interact with each other are determined.

[0038] Virtual objects can refer to controllable objects in a game program executed on a client, including virtual characters, virtual props, and the like. For example, in a war game, two fighter jets or two groups of fighter jets continuously attack each other at a fixed firing interval. The client can determine that these two fighter jets or two groups of fighter jets can be the first virtual object and the second virtual object that are to interact with each other. The two fighter jets or two groups of fighter jets are controlled by different clients or belong to different game factions. The first virtual object is controlled by the first client, and the second virtual object is controlled by the second client. It is understood that for more interactive virtual objects, multiple pairs of interacting virtual objects can be split into multiple pairs. The client can be a digital device such as a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer that can run computer applications and support input and output operations.

[0039] Alternatively, the client may determine the first virtual object and the second virtual object to interact with based on a determination rule received in advance from the server, or based on a determination rule preset in a game program executed on the client. For example, the determination rule may be such that when two fighter jets controlled by the first client and the second client, respectively, enter a range, the two fighter jets are determined to be the first virtual object and the second virtual object, respectively.

[0040] In the receiving step S103 , a first interaction value of the first virtual object with the second virtual object and a second interaction value of the second virtual object with the first virtual object are received.

[0041] Continuing with the above example, the server can calculate the damage each fighter inflicts on the opposing fighter based on combat parameters such as the positions, attack values, and defense values ​​of the two fighters. This damage value can be a first interaction value and a second interaction value, and the server can send this damage value to the client. In this embodiment, the first interaction value is the damage value inflicted by the fighter corresponding to the first virtual object on the fighter corresponding to the second virtual object, and the second interaction value is the damage value inflicted by the fighter corresponding to the second virtual object on the fighter corresponding to the first virtual object.

[0042] In the display step S105 , a corresponding first interaction effect is displayed on the second virtual object based on the first interaction value, and a corresponding second interaction effect is displayed on the first virtual object based on the second interaction value.

[0043] Continuing with the above example, after receiving the damage value from the server, the client can display the damage value on the damaged fighter. For example, when the first virtual object controlled by the first client attacks the second virtual object controlled by the second client, the first interaction value is displayed on the second virtual object, that is, the first damage value is displayed on the fighter controlled by the second client. Such a process of displaying the first damage value is to show the first interaction effect; conversely, when the second virtual object attacks the first virtual object, the process of displaying the second interaction value (that is, the second damage value) on the first virtual object is to show the second interaction effect. Implementing the display of the damage value on the fighter on the client is a conventional technical means mastered by those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated on.

[0044] Furthermore, when a first virtual object controlled by a first client attacks a second virtual object controlled by a second client, the first virtual object displays an attack effect. Conversely, when a second virtual object attacks the first virtual object, the second virtual object also displays an attack effect. The attack effect refers to the effect displayed by the attacking fighter, such as the special effect of a cannon firing. Displaying attack effects on fighters on the client is a conventional technique known to those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated upon.

[0045] Therefore, in the first embodiment, the server can calculate the first and second interaction values ​​based solely on its own computational model and send them to the client in real time. Upon receiving the first and second interaction values, the client displays the first and second interaction effects in real time. This embodiment does not require synchronization with the client or the client's current display state, fully utilizing the server's performance. Furthermore, the client can display the first and second interaction values ​​received from the server in real time, enabling the client to support high-frequency object interactions, thereby more simply and smoothly displaying the effect of two fighter jets continuously attacking each other at a fixed firing interval.

[0046] Optionally, the determination step S101 further includes determining a first hit rate of the first virtual object and a second hit rate of the second virtual object, and wherein the display step S105 further includes displaying a corresponding first interaction effect on the second virtual object based on the first hit rate and the first interaction value, and displaying a corresponding second interaction effect on the first virtual object based on the second hit rate and the second interaction value.

[0047] Continuing with the above example, the client can display the damage value on the fighter jet only when the fighter jet is hit. The first hit rate and the second hit rate can be preset in the server or client, and the numerical range can be set to 0% to 100%. When calculating the damage value, the first damage value is calculated according to the first hit rate. Here, the first hit rate is not simply multiplied by the initial first damage value, but a random calculation is performed according to the probability corresponding to the first hit rate to obtain the result of whether the attack hits. If it hits, the first interactive effect is displayed according to the initial first damage value as the first interactive value; if it does not hit, the first damage value is zero, and the first interactive effect is no longer displayed. In other embodiments of the present invention, the expected damage value can also be obtained by multiplying the first hit rate by the first damage value. The expected damage value is the actual damage value to the second virtual object.

[0048] Optionally, when the first virtual object hits the second virtual object, a hit effect and a first interaction value are displayed on the second virtual object, and when the second virtual object hits the first virtual object, a hit effect and a second interaction value are displayed on the first virtual object.

[0049] Continuing with the above example, the client can not only display the damage value on the fighter when it is hit, but also play special effects (such as sparks and smoke). The playback judgment logic of the hit effect is consistent with the display logic of the first and second interaction values. The animation or visual effect resources of the hit effect are stored in the client. When a hit occurs, the relevant resources are retrieved from the client's storage and rendered for playback.

[0050] FIG2 is another flow chart of a method for interactive control of a virtual object according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG2 , the second embodiment includes:

[0051] In the determining step S201 , a first virtual object and a second virtual object to interact with each other are determined.

[0052] Virtual objects can refer to controllable objects in a game program executed on a client, including virtual characters, virtual props, and the like. For example, in a war game, two or two groups of fighter jets exchange attacks at a fixed firing interval. The client can determine that the two fighter jets or two groups of fighter jets can be a first virtual object and a second virtual object that are to interact with each other. The first and second virtual objects will attack each other at fixed intervals. That is, in the first cycle, the first virtual object attacks the second virtual object, while the second virtual object does not attack the first virtual object. In the second cycle, the second virtual object attacks the first virtual object, while the first virtual object does not attack the second virtual object. In the third cycle, the first virtual object continues to attack the second virtual object, and this cycle repeats until one of the first or second virtual objects is defeated, or both move out of range and leave the battle. The two or two groups of fighter jets can be controlled by different clients or belong to different game factions. The first virtual object is controlled by the first client, and the second virtual object is controlled by the second client. It is understood that for more interactive virtual objects, they can be divided into multiple pairs of interacting virtual objects.

[0053] Alternatively, the client may determine the first virtual object and the second virtual object to interact with based on a determination rule received in advance from the server, or based on a determination rule preset in a game program executed on the client. For example, the determination rule may be such that when two fighter jets controlled by the first client and the second client, respectively, enter a range, the two fighter jets are determined to be the first virtual object and the second virtual object, respectively.

[0054] In the receiving step S203 , a first interaction value of the first virtual object with the second virtual object and a second interaction value of the second virtual object with the first virtual object are received.

[0055] Continuing with the above example, the server can calculate the damage each fighter inflicts on the opposing fighter based on combat parameters such as the positions, attack values, and defense values ​​of the two fighters. This damage value can be a first interaction value and a second interaction value, and the server can send this damage value to the client. In this embodiment, the first interaction value is the damage value inflicted by the fighter corresponding to the first virtual object on the fighter corresponding to the second virtual object, and the second interaction value is the damage value inflicted by the fighter corresponding to the second virtual object on the fighter corresponding to the first virtual object.

[0056] In the display step S205, at least a portion of the corresponding first interaction effect is displayed on the second virtual object based on the multiple first interaction values ​​received before the first interaction cycle during the first interaction cycle, and at least a portion of the corresponding second interaction effect is displayed on the first virtual object based on the multiple second interaction values ​​received before the second interaction cycle during the second interaction cycle.

[0057] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the client can store the damage value from the server regularly or irregularly, to be displayed in the corresponding interaction cycle in the future (which can also be understood as an attack cycle), that is, the interaction effect data displayed in this interaction cycle comes from the attack behavior in one or more previous interaction cycles, while the damage value calculation and interaction effect display in the same interaction cycle in the first embodiment are all performed in real time. This processing method is suitable for strategy games, and is particularly suitable for turn-based attack modes or other exchange attack modes. In the above example, for two fighters entering close combat or dogfighting (also known as "dogfighting"), they can only have the opportunity to attack if they get around the rear of the opponent's fighter. In other words, at the same time, only one fighter will attack another fighter, that is, the two fighters described in the above example exchange attacks with each other at a fixed firing interval. For example, after two fighter jets begin exchanging fire, from seconds 0 to 5, i.e., the first interaction period, the fighter jet controlled by the first client attacks the fighter jet controlled by the second client. From seconds 6 to 10, i.e., the second interaction period, the fighter jet controlled by the second client attacks the fighter jet controlled by the first client, and so on, with the two fighter jets taking turns attacking each other until one fighter is eliminated or moves out of range. This alternating attack mode can also be simply understood as a turn-based attack mode. It should be noted that the firing rate of a fighter jet's cannon in reality is very fast, capable of attacking multiple times within a second. To realistically display this attack effect in the game program, the attacking virtual object can attack multiple times within a single attack period, corresponding to multiple first interaction values ​​or multiple second interaction values. In step S205, the first interaction effect or second interaction effect corresponding to multiple first interaction values ​​or multiple second interaction values ​​can be displayed within a single interaction period.

[0058] Continuing with the above example, the client can display the damage value on the damaged fighter during each fighter's attack cycle. This process of displaying the damage value is the display of the first and second interactive effects. Accordingly, the first interactive effect is displayed during the first interactive cycle, and the second interactive effect is displayed during the second interactive cycle. If there are multiple rounds of attacks, the interactive effects are displayed in turn.

[0059] Depending on the amount of damage values ​​stored before an attack cycle, the duration of an attack cycle, the firing interval of each fighter, and the hit rate of each fighter described below, all damage values ​​stored before the attack cycle may be displayed within an attack cycle, or only part of the damage values ​​stored before the attack cycle may be displayed.

[0060] Therefore, in the second embodiment, the server can calculate the first interaction value and the second interaction value based solely on its own calculation model, and periodically send the first interaction value and the second interaction value to the client according to the synchronization mechanism with the client. The client then displays the first interaction effect and the second interaction effect corresponding to the received first interaction value and the second interaction value according to the interaction cycle. This separation of damage value calculation and combat effect display fully utilizes the server's performance. The client can also store the first interaction value and the second interaction value received from the server for display in the corresponding interaction cycle in the future, allowing the client to support high-frequency object interaction, thereby more simply and smoothly displaying the effect of two fighters exchanging attacks at a fixed firing interval.

[0061] Optionally, the determination step S201 further includes determining a first hit rate of the first virtual object and a second hit rate of the second virtual object, and wherein the display step S205 further includes displaying at least a portion of the corresponding first interaction effect on the second virtual object based on the first hit rate and the multiple first interaction values ​​received before the first interaction cycle within the first interaction cycle, and displaying at least a portion of the corresponding second interaction effect on the first virtual object based on the second hit rate and the multiple second interaction values ​​received before the second interaction cycle within the second interaction cycle.

[0062] Continuing with the example above, the client could display the damage value on the fighter only when it is hit.

[0063] Optionally, when the first virtual object hits the second virtual object, a hit effect and a first interaction value are displayed on the second virtual object, and when the second virtual object hits the first virtual object, a hit effect and a second interaction value are displayed on the first virtual object.

[0064] Continuing with the above example, the client can not only display the damage value on the fighter when it is hit, but also play special effects (such as sparks and smoke). The playback judgment logic of the hit effect is consistent with the display logic of the first and second interaction values. The animation or visual effect resources of the hit effect are stored in the client. When a hit occurs, the relevant resources are retrieved from the client's storage and rendered for playback.

[0065] Optionally, the first interaction cycle and the second interaction cycle both include a hittable period and an unhittable period, and wherein, during the hittable period of the first interaction cycle, at least a corresponding portion of the first interaction effect is displayed on the second virtual object based on the first hit rate and the multiple first interaction values ​​received before the first interaction cycle, and during the hittable period of the second interaction cycle, at least a corresponding portion of the second interaction effect is displayed on the first virtual object based on the second hit rate and the multiple second interaction values ​​received before the second interaction cycle, and wherein, during the unhittable periods of the first interaction cycle and the second interaction cycle, the first hit rate and the second hit rate are respectively adjusted to 0.

[0066] Continuing with the above example, to further simulate real-world scenarios, an attack cycle consists of four time points: when the enemy fighter enters the firing angle, when it enters the hit range, when it leaves the hit range, and when it leaves the firing angle. The period between when the enemy fighter enters the firing angle and when it enters the hit range is a non-hit period; the period between when the enemy fighter enters the hit range and when it leaves the hit range is a hit period; and the period between when the enemy fighter leaves the hit range and when it leaves the firing angle is a non-hit period. During the hit period, the attacking fighter can attack with a normal hit rate, while during the non-hit period, the attacking fighter will not hit the enemy fighter, allowing the client to display a more realistic dogfight scene.

[0067] Optionally, after all corresponding first interaction effects are displayed on the second virtual object based on the first hit rate and multiple first interaction values ​​received before the first interaction cycle within the hittable period of the first interaction cycle, the first hit rate is adjusted to 0, and after all corresponding second interaction effects are displayed on the first virtual object based on the second hit rate and multiple second interaction values ​​received before the second interaction cycle within the hittable period of the second interaction cycle, the second hit rate is adjusted to 0.

[0068] Continuing with the above example, depending on the number of damage values ​​stored before an attack cycle, the duration of an attack cycle, the firing interval of each fighter, and the hit rate of each fighter, if all the damage values ​​stored before an attack cycle can be displayed within an attack cycle, and no new damage value or values ​​have been received, then for the rest of the attack cycle, the hit rate of the attacking fighter is adjusted to 0, so that the effect of the fighter's continuous attack can still be displayed within the attack cycle, but the fighter being attacked is prevented from receiving additional damage, and waits for the new damage value or values.

[0069] Optionally, after all corresponding first interaction effects are displayed on the second virtual object based on the first hit rate and multiple first interaction values ​​received before the first interaction cycle within the hittable period of the first interaction cycle, when new one or more first interaction values ​​are received again, the first hit rate is restored, and at least a portion of the corresponding first interaction effects are displayed on the second virtual object based on the first hit rate and the new one or more first interaction values; and after all corresponding second interaction effects are displayed on the first virtual object based on the second hit rate and multiple second interaction values ​​received before the second interaction cycle within the hittable period of the second interaction cycle, at least a portion of the corresponding second interaction effect is displayed on the first virtual object based on the second hit rate and the new one or more second interaction values.

[0070] Continuing with the above example, depending on the number of damage values ​​stored before an attack cycle, the duration of an attack cycle, the firing interval of each fighter, and the hit rate of each fighter, if all the damage values ​​stored before an attack cycle can be displayed within an attack cycle, and one or more new damage values ​​are received, then during the rest of the attack cycle, by displaying at least a portion of the damage values ​​in advance, the effect of the fighter's continuous attack can still be displayed within the attack cycle, and it is ensured that the fighter being attacked receives the correct damage.

[0071] Optionally, after displaying a corresponding portion of the first interaction effect on the second virtual object based on the first hit rate and the multiple first interaction values ​​received before the first interaction cycle within the hittable period of the first interaction cycle, the corresponding remaining portion of the first interaction effect continues to be displayed on the second virtual object based on the first hit rate within the hittable period of the next first interaction cycle; and after displaying a corresponding portion of the second interaction effect on the first virtual object based on the second hit rate and the multiple second interaction values ​​received before the second interaction cycle within the hittable period of the second interaction cycle, the corresponding remaining portion of the second interaction effect continues to be displayed on the first virtual object based on the second hit rate within the hittable period of the next second interaction cycle.

[0072] Continuing with the above example, depending on the number of damage values ​​stored before an attack cycle, the duration of an attack cycle, the firing interval of each fighter, and the hit rate of each fighter, if only a portion of the damage values ​​stored before an attack cycle can be displayed within an attack cycle, then the remaining damage values ​​that have not been displayed can be displayed first in the next attack cycle, and then one or more newly received damage values ​​before the next attack cycle can be displayed.

[0073] It is understandable that the firing interval may also be adjusted to ensure that all damage values ​​stored before an attack cycle are displayed within an attack cycle.

[0074] FIG3 is a block diagram of an interactive control system for virtual objects according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG3 , the third embodiment includes:

[0075] The determining unit 301 determines a first virtual object and a second virtual object that are to interact with each other.

[0076] The receiving unit 303 receives a first interaction value of the first virtual object on the second virtual object, and a second interaction value of the second virtual object on the first virtual object.
