[0039] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or precedence. It should be understood that the terms used in this manner are interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Instead, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present application, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0040] In the related art, in response to the triggering operation of the shooting function, the upper body shooting animation and the lower body shooting animation corresponding to the virtual object and the virtual prop are obtained; the upper body shooting animation and the lower body shooting animation are displayed to achieve the purpose of the virtual object performing a shooting operation on the virtual prop.

[0041] However, in the above animation display method, it is necessary to display the upper body shooting animation and the lower body shooting animation separately, which makes the animation display less coherent, and in turn leads to poor shooting effects of virtual objects, resulting in low utilization rate of the shooting function of virtual objects, affecting the interaction rate of the game.

[0042] First, the abbreviations and key terms involved in the embodiments of the present application are defined.

[0043] Virtual environment: refers to the environment provided (or displayed) when an application is running on a terminal device. This virtual environment is the environment created for virtual objects to carry out activities. A virtual environment can be a two-dimensional virtual environment, a 2.5-dimensional virtual environment, or a three-dimensional virtual environment. A virtual environment can be a simulation of the real world, a semi-simulation of the real world, or a purely fictional environment. For example, the virtual environment involved in the embodiments of this application is a three-dimensional virtual environment.

[0044] Virtual objects refer to movable objects within a virtual environment. These movable objects can be virtual characters, virtual animals, or animated characters. Players can manipulate virtual objects through external components or by tapping the touchscreen display. Each virtual object has its own unique shape and volume within the virtual environment and occupies a portion of the virtual space. For example, in a three-dimensional virtual environment, virtual objects are three-dimensional models created using animation skeletal technology.

[0045] Mobile: generally refers to mobile phones, including but not limited to all handheld portable gaming devices.

[0046] Shooting games: including first-person shooter games, third-person shooter games, and other games that use firearms for long-range attacks, but are not limited to these.

[0047] Full-body animation is a type of animation production method. In shooting games, the in-game behavior of virtual objects is represented by animation. The animation can be produced separately for the upper and lower halves and then spliced ​​together for playback, or it can be produced for the entire body and played directly. The difference between full-body animation and half-body animation lies in whether the animation is split into two parts and then spliced ​​together for playback. In the embodiments of this application, full-body animation includes animation of every part of the virtual object's body. For example, in a scene where a virtual object is shooting with a virtual prop, the full-body animation of the virtual object can show every part of the virtual object's body during the shooting process.

[0048] Animation Overlay: A type of animation usage where multiple animations are applied to the same subject. This can be done by overlaying different parts of the subject, for example, playing different animations on the upper and lower parts of a virtual subject. It can also be done by overlaying the same part of the subject, for example, overlaying two animations simultaneously on the upper part of a virtual subject, with the animations played according to their weighting.

[0049] Hip-fire: This refers to shooting directly through the default crosshairs of the virtual prop without using a virtual scope. This shooting method can fire instantly, eliminating the need to open the scope, and directly delivers precise strikes to the enemy. It is suitable for close-range combat and allows for faster shooting.

[0050] Shoulder firing refers to shooting through a virtual scope, or placing a virtual item against a virtual subject's shoulder and firing through a virtual scope or iron sight. This shooting method is suitable for medium- to long-range engagements, improving accuracy. Players can use high-powered scopes to observe distant enemies.

[0051] One-frame example: A frame can be generally understood as a still picture. Animation is often composed of multiple frames to achieve a dynamic effect.

[0052] FIG1 is a schematic diagram of an implementation environment of an animation display method provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG1 , the implementation environment includes: a terminal device 101 and a server 102 .

[0053] Among them, a game client capable of providing a virtual environment is installed and running in the terminal device 101, and the terminal device 101 is used to execute the animation display method provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0054] Exemplarily, a game client capable of providing a virtual environment may be a third-person shooter (TPS) game, a first-person shooter (FPS) game, a multiplayer online tactical competitive (MOBA) game, a multiplayer shooting survival game, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMO), an action role-playing game (ARPG), a virtual reality (VR) client, an augmented reality (AR) client, a three-dimensional map program, a map simulation program, a social client, an interactive entertainment client, and the like.

[0055] Server 102 provides backend services for a game client installed on terminal device 101 that provides a virtual environment. In one possible implementation, server 102 performs primary computing tasks, while terminal device 101 performs secondary computing tasks. Alternatively, server 102 performs secondary computing tasks, while terminal device 101 performs primary computing tasks. Alternatively, terminal device 101 and server 102 utilize a distributed computing architecture for collaborative computing.

[0056] Optionally, the terminal device 101 is any electronic device that can interact with a user through one or more methods such as a keyboard, a touchpad, a remote control, voice interaction, or a handwriting device. For example, the terminal device 101 can be a smart phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a smart speaker, a smart watch, a PC (Personal Computer), a mobile phone, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a wearable device, a PPC (Pocket PC), a smart car computer, a smart TV, etc.

[0057] Terminal device 101 may generally refer to one of multiple terminal devices. This embodiment uses terminal device 101 as an example. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the number of terminal devices 101 may be greater or lesser. For example, there may be only one terminal device 101, or there may be dozens, hundreds, or even more terminal devices 101. This embodiment of the application does not limit the number or type of terminal devices 101.

[0058] The server 102 is a single server, or a server cluster consisting of multiple servers, or any one of a cloud computing platform and a virtualization center, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. The server 102 is directly or indirectly connected to the terminal device 101 via a wired communication method or a wireless communication method. The server 102 has a data receiving function, a data processing function, and a data sending function. Of course, the server 102 can also have other functions, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0059] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above-mentioned terminal device 101 and server 102 are merely examples, and other existing or future terminal devices or servers, if applicable to the present application, should also be included in the scope of protection of the present application and are incorporated herein by reference.

[0060] The present application provides an animation display method, which can be applied to the implementation environment shown in FIG1 . For example, FIG2 shows a flowchart of an animation display method provided in the present application. The method can be executed by the terminal device 101 in FIG1 . As shown in FIG2 , the method includes the following steps 201 to 203 .

[0061] In step 201 , a game screen is displayed, which includes a virtual object in a virtual environment, the virtual object holds a virtual prop, and the virtual object is in a target state.

[0062] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, a game client capable of providing a virtual environment is installed and running on a terminal device. The game client can be any type of game client, and the present embodiment is not limited thereto. The game client can be a first-person perspective game client or a third-person perspective game client. The game client can be a frame-synchronized game client, that is, the animation display method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to a frame-synchronized game client.

[0063] The display interface of the terminal device displays relevant information about the game client. The relevant information about the game client can be an icon of the game client, a name of the game client, or other information that can uniquely represent the game client, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. When the user wants to run the game client, the user selects the relevant information about the game client. The relevant information about the game client selected by the user can be the relevant information of the game client clicked by the user, or can be the relevant information of the game client selected in other ways, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0064] The user selects the relevant information of the game client, the terminal device receives a trigger operation for the relevant information of the game client, and in response to the trigger operation for the relevant information of the game client, displays a game screen, which includes a virtual object located in a virtual environment, and the virtual object is in a target state.

[0065] The virtual object is an object controlled by the user in the game client, and the target state is any one of a stationary state, a running state, and a walking state. The target state of the virtual object means that the virtual object is stationary, running, or walking, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0066] FIG3 is a schematic diagram of a game screen provided by an embodiment of the present application. In the game screen shown in FIG3 , a virtual object 301 located in a virtual environment is displayed, and the virtual object is in a stationary state.

[0067] Optionally, a backpack control is also displayed on the game screen, such as 302 in Figure 3, which is a backpack control. The backpack control is used to display a backpack page, which is a display page of the virtual backpack of the virtual object. The virtual backpack is used to store the virtual props owned by the virtual object. The backpack page displays the prop information of the virtual props that the user has obtained, wherein the virtual props that the user has obtained are equivalent to the virtual props owned by the virtual object 301. The game screen also displays the capacity of the virtual backpack and the number of virtual props that the user has obtained. The capacity of the virtual backpack refers to the number of virtual props that can be stored in the virtual backpack. For example, "8" in Figure 3 is the capacity of the virtual backpack, and "5" is the number of virtual props that the user has obtained.

[0068] Optionally, in response to a triggering operation on the backpack control, a backpack page is displayed, displaying item information of the virtual props acquired by the user. The item information of the virtual props includes, but is not limited to, the name of the virtual prop and an image of the virtual prop. Optionally, the virtual prop is a virtual firearm, a virtual stick, another virtual knife, or other virtual prop, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

[0069] FIG4 is a schematic diagram of a backpack page provided in an embodiment of the present application. The backpack page shown in FIG4 displays item information for five virtual items acquired by a user. The item information for the first virtual item includes the name of the first virtual item (Virtual Prop 1) and an image 401 of the first virtual item. The item information for the other virtual items is shown in FIG4 and will not be further described here.

[0070] It should be noted that the embodiments of this application do not limit the display method of the backpack page. For example, the backpack page is displayed superimposed on the game screen, or the backpack page is displayed separately. Due to the limited capacity of the backpack, the number of virtual props stored in the virtual backpack cannot exceed the capacity of the virtual backpack.

[0071] In one possible implementation, in response to a selection operation on item information of any virtual item, a virtual object is controlled to hold the selected virtual item. The virtual object displayed on the game screen holds the selected virtual item. Optionally, the virtual object holding the virtual item means that the virtual object holds the virtual item in its hand.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present application, when the backpack page is displayed, in response to the selection operation of any prop information in the backpack page, it is equivalent to triggering the operation of selecting a virtual prop for the virtual object, and the virtual object is controlled to hold the virtual prop indicated by the selected prop information.

[0073] FIG5 is a schematic diagram showing another game screen provided in an embodiment of the present application. In the game screen shown in FIG5 , a virtual object 501 holds a virtual prop 502 , and the virtual object 501 is in a stationary state.

[0074] In step 202 , in response to a triggering operation of a shooting function, a full-body animation of a virtual object is obtained, where the full-body animation is an animation of the virtual object performing a shooting operation corresponding to the shooting function using a virtual prop in a target state.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present application, the shooting function is used to control a virtual object to perform a shooting operation using a held virtual prop, that is, to control the virtual object to shoot using the executed virtual prop. Triggering the shooting function is equivalent to controlling the virtual object to shoot using the executed virtual prop, and a full-body animation is captured so that the full-body animation can be subsequently displayed to present a scene of the virtual object executing the shooting operation using the virtual prop in the target state.

[0076] Optionally, the process of obtaining full-body animation includes: generating a first animation acquisition request in response to a trigger operation of a shooting function, the first animation acquisition request including an object identifier of a virtual object, a prop identifier of a virtual prop, a target state and target information, the target information indicating a shooting function; sending the first animation acquisition request to a server; and receiving a full-body animation returned by the server based on the first animation acquisition request.

[0077] The object identifier is a unique identifier used to represent a virtual object and can be represented in any form. For example, the object identifier is the name or number of the virtual object. The prop identifier is a unique identifier used to represent a virtual prop and can be represented in any form. For example, the prop identifier is the name, image, or number of the virtual prop. Target information can be represented in any form, for example, target information can be represented in text form. For another example, considering that there are multiple shooting functions, the target information can represent each shooting function using the identifiers of multiple shooting functions.

[0078] In an embodiment of the present application, the server is used to provide full-body animation of the virtual object. The terminal device responds to the triggering operation of the shooting function by sending an animation acquisition request carrying the object identification, prop identification, target state and target information to the server, so that the server can provide a matching full-body animation according to the object identification, prop identification, target state and target information, to ensure that the full-body animation can present the picture of the virtual object performing the shooting operation corresponding to the shooting function through the virtual props in the target state, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the full-body animation. In addition, this method does not require the terminal device to generate or store the full-body animation, which can reduce the pressure on the terminal device, thereby ensuring the performance of the terminal device and reducing the requirements for the terminal device.

[0079] Optionally, the process of the server obtaining the full-body animation includes: the server stores the correspondence between the object identification, prop identification, status, information for indicating the shooting function and the full-body animation, and the server responds to the first animation acquisition request, queries from the correspondence, and obtains the full-body animation stored corresponding to the object identification, prop identification, target status and target information in the first animation acquisition request.

[0080] In an embodiment of the present application, full-body animation is stored in the server, and is stored in correspondence with the object identifier, prop identifier, status of the virtual object, and information indicating the shooting function. The server can then query the correspondence in response to the animation acquisition request, and can quickly obtain the full-body animation requested by the terminal device, thereby ensuring the convenience and efficiency of obtaining the full-body animation.

[0081] Optionally, the shooting function includes a hip-fire function or a shoulder-fire function.

[0082] Hip fire and shoulder fire are two different shooting functions, corresponding to different shooting operations. Hip fire refers to shooting through the default crosshairs of a virtual item without a virtual scope, while shoulder fire refers to shooting through a virtual scope. The shooting operations corresponding to the hip fire function are called hip fire operations, and the shooting operations corresponding to the shoulder fire function are called shoulder fire operations.

[0083] Among them, the shooting function includes a hip-fire function, the shooting operation corresponding to the shooting function includes a hip-fire operation, and the target information included in the first animation acquisition request indicates the hip-fire function; or, the shooting function includes a shoulder-fire function, the shooting operation corresponding to the shooting function includes a shoulder-fire operation, and the target information included in the first animation acquisition request indicates the shoulder-fire function.

[0084] Optionally, a hip-fire control is displayed on the game screen, such as 503 in FIG5 . If the shooting function is the hip-fire function, triggering the hip-fire function includes: triggering the hip-fire function in response to a first operation on the hip-fire control; that is, obtaining a full-body animation of the virtual object in response to the first operation on the hip-fire control.

[0085] The first operation on the hip-fire control is a click or short press on the hip-fire control. A short press is a press that lasts less than a threshold value. The threshold value can be any duration, such as 0.2 seconds. The hip-fire control can be any type of control, such as a button.

[0086] In one possible implementation, the shooting function is a hip-fire function. Each time the hip-fire function is triggered, the whole-body animation obtained may be the same or different, and this embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0087] Optionally, when the virtual object is in the same target state and holding the same virtual item, multiple triggerings of the hip-fire function result in the same full-body animation, i.e., the same full-body animation is displayed each time the hip-fire function is triggered. Multiple triggerings of the hip-fire function at different times are equivalent to controlling the virtual object to perform multiple hip-fire operations at different times during the process of controlling the virtual object.

[0088] For example, if a virtual object is in the same target state and holds the same virtual prop, there is only one full-body animation. If a virtual object is in the same target state and holds the same virtual prop, no matter how many times the hip-fire function is triggered, only the same full-body animation will be displayed.

[0089] Optionally, when a virtual object is in the same target state and holding the same virtual item, multiple triggerings of the hip-fire function result in different full-body animations, i.e., a different full-body animation is displayed each time the hip-fire function is triggered. Of the full-body animations obtained by triggering the hip-fire function multiple times, at least two triggerings of the hip-fire function result in different full-body animations.

[0090] For example, when a virtual object is in the same target state and holds the same virtual prop, the hip-fire function is triggered three times. Among the full-body animations obtained by the three hip-fire functions, the full-body animations obtained by the first two times are the same, and the full-body animation obtained by the last time is different from the full-body animations obtained by the first two times; or, the full-body animations obtained by the three times are all different.

[0091] Optionally, the process of generating a first animation acquisition request includes: responding to a trigger operation of the hip fire function, determining the number of times the hip fire function is triggered, and generating a first animation acquisition request based on the number of times the hip fire function is triggered, the first animation acquisition request also including the number of times the hip fire function is triggered, and the full-body animation obtained based on the first animation acquisition request is a full-body animation of the virtual object performing a hip fire operation through a virtual prop when the virtual object is in a target state and the hip fire function is triggered the number of times.

[0092] In an embodiment of the present application, when a virtual object is in the same target state and holds the same virtual prop, the full-body animation obtained by triggering the hip-fire function multiple times may be different. Therefore, before the terminal device generates an animation acquisition request, it first determines the number of times the hip-fire function is triggered, so as to generate a first animation acquisition request based on the number of triggers, so that the first animation acquisition request includes the object identifier of the virtual object, the prop identifier of the virtual prop, the target state, the target information and the number of times the hip-fire function is triggered, so that the subsequent server can provide the full-body animation according to the number of hip-fires, thereby realizing a solution in which the full-body animation changes with the number of triggers, enriching the diversity of the full-body animation, and ensuring that the full-body animation displayed when the hip-fire function is triggered multiple times for the same virtual object is different, thereby enhancing the fun of the game and improving the user experience.

[0093] Optionally, the process of determining the triggering number of the hip-fire function includes: the terminal device queries the triggering number of the hip-fire function from the operation information based on the prop identification, target status and target information; or, the terminal device sends a query request to the server, the query request includes the object identification of the virtual object, the prop identification of the virtual prop, the target status and target information, the server queries from the operation information based on the query request, and returns the queried triggering number to the terminal device, and the terminal device receives the triggering number returned by the server.

[0094] In an embodiment of the present application, a terminal device stores operation information that records instances in which a shooting function is triggered, specifically, instances in which a virtual object, in various states, performs shooting operations corresponding to the shooting function using a virtual item held by the virtual object. The operation information includes at least one operation record, each of which represents a shooting operation performed by the virtual object in a particular state using a virtual item held by the virtual object. In other words, each operation record represents a triggering of the shooting function. The terminal device queries the operation records based on the item identifier, target state, and target information of the virtual item currently held by the virtual object. If the operation record includes the item identifier, the virtual object's state, and information indicating the shooting function, the terminal device queries the number of operation records that include the item identifier, target state, and target information. The number of operation records found is the number of times the hip-fire function has been triggered. Alternatively, if the operation record includes the item identifier, the virtual object's state, information indicating the shooting function, and the triggering count, the terminal device queries the number of operation records that include the item identifier, target state, and target information. The number of triggering counts included in the searched operation records is the number of times the hip-fire function has been triggered.

[0095] In an embodiment of the present application, operation information corresponding to each virtual object is stored in the server. This operation information is similar to the operation information in the above-mentioned terminal device. The server obtains the operation information corresponding to the object identifier based on the object identifier in the query request, and then, in accordance with the above-mentioned method, based on the prop identifier, target state and target information of the virtual prop currently held by the virtual object, queries the operation record corresponding to the object identifier to query the number of operation records including the prop identifier, target state and target information. The number of operation records queried is the number of times the hip-fire function is triggered.

[0096] In an embodiment of the present application, operation information is stored in the terminal device or the server, and the terminal device can adopt either of the above two methods to obtain the triggering number of the hip-fire function.

[0097] Optionally, the server receives a first animation acquisition request, parses the first animation acquisition request, and obtains an object identifier of the virtual object, a prop identifier of the virtual prop, a target state, target information, and a trigger count of the hip-fire function. The server stores a full-body animation of any virtual object in any state, any virtual object performing a shooting operation indicated by the target information using any virtual prop at any time. The server also stores a correspondence between the object identifier of any virtual object, the prop identifier of any virtual prop, any state, target information, any number of times, and the full-body animation. The full-body animation is a full-body animation of any virtual object in any state, any virtual object performing a shooting operation indicated by the target information using any virtual prop at any number of times. That is, the server's correspondence includes the object identifier, prop identifier, state, target information, trigger count, and full-body animation. This correspondence includes multiple possible scenarios, and for any situation occurring in the virtual scene, a corresponding full-body animation can be queried based on this correspondence. In this way, the server queries the corresponding relationship based on the virtual object's object identifier, the virtual item's item identifier, the target state, the target information, and the number of times the hip fire function is triggered. This server can then obtain a full-body animation of the virtual object performing hip fire with the virtual item when the target state is reached and the hip fire function is triggered the number of times. The server then transmits the obtained full-body animation to the terminal device, so that the terminal device can obtain the full-body animation of the virtual object performing hip fire with the virtual item when the target state is reached and the hip fire function is triggered the number of times.

[0098] Among them, the full-body animation is designed by an animation designer. Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of any frame of animation in a full-body animation provided by an embodiment of the present application. The full-body animation is a full-body animation of any virtual object in any state and at any number of times performing a hip-shooting operation through a virtual prop. When designing a full-body animation, the animation designer does not involve the problem of animation superposition, so that each animation accounts for 100% when played. The designed full-body animation is consistent with the performance that the animation designer wants to express, making the animation design less difficult. Moreover, when the animation designer is not satisfied with the designed full-body animation, the animation designer can debug the designed full-body animation. Since it is a full-body animation, the difficulty of debugging the animation can also be reduced. After the animation designer designs the full-body animation, the full-body animation is integrated into the montago format according to the specifications and named according to the specifications. The generated full-body animation is stored in the corresponding location for subsequent retrieval.

[0099] The server is configured with an animation manager. Full-body animations corresponding to any virtual object, any virtual item, any state, target information, and any number of times are configured in the animation manager. Specifically, the animation manager includes a full-body animation of any virtual object in any state and performing a shooting operation with a virtual item at any number of times. The shooting operation corresponds to a shooting function indicated by the target information. When any virtual object is in any state and the shooting function indicated by the target information is triggered, the corresponding full-body animation is obtained.

[0100] For example, when a virtual object is in the target state, the full-body animation of the virtual object's first hip-fire operation using a virtual prop is full-body animation A; when the virtual object is in the target state, the full-body animation of the virtual object's second hip-fire operation using the virtual prop is full-body animation B; and when the virtual object is in the target state, the full-body animation of the virtual object's third hip-fire operation using the virtual prop is full-body animation C. If the hip-fire function is triggered a second time immediately after the first triggering, full-body animation A is discontinued and full-body animation B is displayed. This prevents the uncontrollable situation caused by the superposition of multiple full-body animations and avoids sliding or other bloopers.

[0101] In one possible implementation, the shooting function includes a shoulder-fire function, and the shooting operation corresponding to the shooting function includes a shoulder-fire operation. The target information in the first animation acquisition request indicates the shoulder-fire function. A shoulder-fire control is displayed on the game screen, such as 504 in FIG. 5 . Triggering the shoulder-fire function includes: triggering the shoulder-fire function in response to a long press and then a cancelation of the shoulder-fire control; that is, in response to the long press and release of the shoulder-fire control, acquiring a full-body animation of the virtual object.

[0102] Among them, the operation of canceling the long press after long pressing the shoulder-fired control is equivalent to a long press operation on the shoulder-fired control and the end of the long press operation. A long press operation refers to a press operation in which the pressing duration exceeds a threshold value, and the threshold value is an arbitrary duration, for example, the threshold value is 0.2 seconds. A long press operation on the shoulder-fired control refers to pressing the shoulder-fired control and the pressing duration exceeds the threshold value, and the end of the long press operation refers to no longer pressing the shoulder-fired control. That is, a long press operation on the shoulder-fired control and the end of the long press operation refers to releasing the shoulder-fired control after the duration of pressing the shoulder-fired control exceeds the threshold value. For example, if the threshold value is 0.2 seconds, a long press operation on the shoulder-fired control and the end of the long press operation refers to pressing the shoulder-fired control and releasing it after the duration of pressing the shoulder-fired control exceeds 0.2 seconds, at which time the shoulder-fired control is no longer pressed.

[0103] In an embodiment of the present application, the shoulder-fire control is used to trigger the shoulder-fire function. The shoulder-fire function will only be triggered when a long-press operation is triggered on the shoulder-fire control and the long-press operation ends. The shoulder-fire function will not be triggered when the shoulder-fire control is kept long-pressed. This can avoid the accidental triggering of the shoulder-fire function, ensure the accuracy of triggering the shoulder-fire function, and thus improve the user experience.

[0104] It should be noted that while this embodiment of the present application uses an example where a long press of a shoulder-fire control is performed and the shoulder-fire function is triggered only after the long press ends, in another embodiment, a full-body animation of a virtual object is obtained in response to a long press of the shoulder-fire control. In other words, detecting a long press of the shoulder-fire control is equivalent to triggering the shoulder-fire function.

[0105] Optionally, in response to a long press and then a cancel operation on a shoulder-fire control, triggering the shoulder-fire function includes: obtaining a charging animation in response to the long press operation on the shoulder-fire control, the charging animation being an animation of a virtual object charging power before executing a shoulder-fire operation using a virtual prop in a target state; displaying the charging animation; and triggering the shoulder-fire function in response to the termination of the long press operation on the shoulder-fire control, that is, obtaining a full-body animation in response to the termination of the long press operation on the shoulder-fire control. The charging animation includes an upper-body charging animation and a lower-body charging animation.

[0106] A long press operation on a shoulder-fired control refers to a triggering operation on the shoulder-fired control that lasts longer than a target duration, that is, the duration of pressing the shoulder-fired control is longer than the target duration. The target duration is set based on experience or adjusted according to the implementation environment, and is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. For example, the target duration is 3 seconds.

[0107] Among them, the charging animation is used to represent the scene of the virtual object charging power before performing the shoulder shooting operation, so that the subsequent virtual object can perform the shoulder shooting operation after the charging is completed.

[0108] For example, a virtual object needs to charge before performing a shoulder-shooting operation using a virtual prop. After the charge value reaches a preset value, the virtual object can perform the shoulder-shooting operation using the virtual prop. The charge animation is used to represent the scene of the virtual object charging before performing the shoulder-shooting operation.

[0109] For example, in the process of a virtual object performing a shoulder-shooting operation through a virtual prop, the virtual object turns on a virtual sight, and then uses the virtual sight to aim at the target, and then the virtual object shoots at the aimed target through the virtual prop. The charging animation is used to represent the picture of the virtual object turning on the virtual sight before performing the shoulder-shooting operation.

[0110] In the embodiment of the present application, considering that the process of the virtual object performing the shoulder-fire operation is relatively complicated, the process of triggering the shoulder-fire function is divided into two parts. While keeping the shoulder-fire control pressed, the charging animation is obtained and displayed to show that the virtual object performs relevant preparatory actions before performing the shoulder-fire operation. Then, when the long-press operation of the shoulder-fire control is ended, the full-body animation of the virtual object is obtained and displayed to show that the virtual object performs the shoulder-fire operation through virtual props in the target state. In this way, the display of different animations is achieved through one operation without the user having to perform complex operations, which improves the efficiency of human-computer interaction, ensures the integrity of the picture of the virtual object performing the shoulder-fire operation, improves the display effect of the animation, and thus improves the user experience.

[0111] Optionally, in response to a long press operation on a shoulder-fired control, a charging progress bar is displayed, which indicates the charged value of the virtual object and the chargeable value of the virtual object. The charged value of the virtual object is proportional to the duration of the long press operation on the shoulder-fired control, that is, the longer the duration of the long press operation on the shoulder-fired control, the greater the charged value of the virtual object. Conversely, the shorter the duration of the long press operation on the shoulder-fired control, the smaller the charged value of the virtual object. The charged value of the virtual object and the chargeable value of the virtual object are displayed differently in the charging progress bar.

[0112] The virtual object's chargeable value is equivalent to the virtual object's maximum charge value. The virtual object's charged value will gradually increase as the shoulder-fire control is pressed. For example, if the virtual object's chargeable value is 100, from the moment the shoulder-fire control is pressed, the charged value in the charge progress bar will gradually increase from 0 until it reaches 100.

[0113] In an embodiment of the present application, while the shoulder-fire control is being long-pressed, not only a charging animation will be displayed, but also a charging progress bar will be displayed to indicate the charging progress, so that the user can judge whether to stop pressing the shoulder-fire control based on the charging progress. This makes it convenient for the user to choose the time to stop pressing the shoulder-fire control, which is also equivalent to making it convenient for the user to choose the time to trigger the shoulder-fire function, thereby ensuring the effect of subsequent virtual objects performing shoulder-fire operations, enriching the displayed content, and improving the user experience.

[0114] FIG7 is a schematic diagram of another display of a game screen provided in an embodiment of the present application. A charging progress bar 701 is displayed in the game screen shown in FIG7 . 702 indicates the chargeable value of the virtual object, and 703 indicates the charged value of the virtual object.

[0115] Optionally, in response to a long press operation on a shoulder-fire control, obtaining a charging animation before a virtual object performs a shoulder-fire operation using a virtual prop while in a target state includes: generating a second animation acquisition request in response to the long press operation on the shoulder-fire control, the second animation acquisition request including an object identifier of the virtual object, a prop identifier of the virtual prop, and a target state, the second animation acquisition request being used to obtain a charging animation before the virtual object performs a shoulder-fire operation using the virtual prop in the target state; sending the second animation acquisition request to a server; and receiving the charging animation returned by the server based on the second animation acquisition request.

[0116] Among them, the server receives the second animation acquisition request, and the process of obtaining the charging animation according to the second animation acquisition request is the same as the process of the above-mentioned server obtaining the full-body animation according to the first animation acquisition request. The embodiment of the present application will not be repeated here.

[0117] In one possible implementation, the shooting function is a shoulder-fire function, the target information included in the first animation acquisition request indicates the shoulder-fire function, and a direction control is displayed on the game screen, such as 505 in FIG5 . In response to a triggering operation of the shooting function, the process of generating the first animation acquisition request includes: determining a movement direction for the direction control in response to the triggering operation of the shoulder-fire function and the triggering operation of the direction control; generating a first animation acquisition request based on the movement direction, the first animation acquisition request also including the movement direction, and the full-body animation acquired based on the first animation acquisition request is a full-body animation of a virtual object in a target state performing a shoulder-fire operation in the movement direction using a virtual prop. That is, the full-body animation is a full-body animation of the virtual object in the target state moving along the movement direction and performing the shoulder-fire operation using the virtual prop.

[0118] The movement direction is any one of moving to the left, moving to the right, moving forward, moving backward, moving to the left front, moving to the right front, moving to the left back, and moving to the right back. The direction control is used to control the movement of the virtual object in the virtual scene. The triggering operation of the direction control is equivalent to the operation of controlling the movement of the virtual object in the virtual scene. The movement direction of the direction control refers to the movement direction indicated when the direction control is triggered. As shown in 505 in Figure 5, the direction control is a virtual joystick. The virtual joystick includes two circles. The large circle is equivalent to a virtual roulette wheel, and the small circle can be dragged to move in the virtual roulette wheel. In the default state of the virtual joystick, the centers of the two circles coincide. The user moves the small circle within the large circle by dragging it, which is equivalent to triggering the direction control. The center of the small circle is equivalent to the direction of the center of the large circle and is used to indicate the movement direction.

[0119] In the embodiment of the present application, considering that the virtual object may move during the shooting process, when the shoulder shooting function is triggered, the direction control is also triggered, which means that not only the virtual object is controlled to perform the shoulder shooting operation but also the movement of the virtual object is controlled. Therefore, the full-body animation is obtained in combination with the moving direction indicated by the direction control, so that the obtained full-body animation can not only present the picture of the virtual object performing the shoulder shooting operation through the virtual props in the target state, but also present the picture of the virtual object moving along the moving direction. That is, the full-body animation can reflect the picture of the virtual object performing the shoulder shooting operation while moving, so as to ensure that the displayed full-body animation matches the triggered operation, avoids the situation where the user triggers the movement operation but the virtual object does not move, ensures the picture display effect, and improves the user experience.

[0120] Optionally, the server stores the correspondence between the prop identification, status, information indicating the shooting function, the moving direction and the full-body animation, and the process of the server obtaining the full-body animation includes: the server responds to the first animation acquisition request, queries from the correspondence, and obtains the full-body animation stored corresponding to the object identification, prop identification, target status, target information and moving direction in the first animation acquisition request.

[0121] In an embodiment of the present application, full-body animation is stored in the server, and is stored in correspondence with the object identification, prop identification, status of the virtual object, information for indicating the shooting function, and movement direction. The server only needs to query the correspondence in response to the animation acquisition request, and can quickly obtain the full-body animation requested by the terminal device, thereby ensuring the convenience and efficiency of obtaining the full-body animation.

[0122] It should be noted that the process of obtaining a full-body animation of a virtual object performing a shooting operation using a virtual prop in the target state varies depending on the shooting function being triggered. For different shooting functions, the full-body animation of a virtual object performing a shooting operation using a virtual prop in the target state is obtained in the manner described above.

[0123] It should also be noted that the object identifier of a virtual object is the name of the virtual object, or the number of the virtual object, or other identifier that can uniquely represent the virtual object. The prop identifier of a virtual prop is the name of the virtual prop, or the number of the virtual prop, or other identifier that can uniquely represent the virtual prop, which is not limited in the embodiments of this application.

[0124] In step 203, a full-body animation is displayed.

[0125] After obtaining a full-body animation of the virtual object in the target state using a virtual prop to perform a shooting operation corresponding to the shooting function in step 202, the full-body animation is displayed to achieve the purpose of the virtual object performing the shooting operation using the virtual prop. Exemplarily, the full-body animation is displayed on the game screen. Optionally, while the full-body animation is displayed on the game screen, the virtual object is removed from the game screen. In this embodiment of the present application, the full-body animation is used to represent the scene of the virtual object in the target state using a virtual prop to perform a shooting operation corresponding to the shooting function. Therefore, displaying the full-body animation is equivalent to the virtual object performing the shooting operation in the virtual scene.

[0126] For example, if the shooting function is hip-fire, and the full-body animation of the virtual object performing hip-fire using a virtual prop in the target state is obtained as full-body animation A, then full-body animation A is displayed. FIG8 is a schematic diagram of a game screen display provided by an embodiment of the present application. The game screen shown in FIG8 is any frame of full-body animation A, and 801 in FIG8 indicates a virtual object.

[0127] For example, if the shooting function is hip-fire, and the full-body animation of the virtual object performing hip-fire using a virtual prop in the target state is obtained as full-body animation B, then full-body animation B is displayed. FIG9 is a schematic diagram of a game screen display provided by an embodiment of the present application. The game screen shown in FIG9 is any frame of full-body animation B, and 901 in FIG9 indicates a virtual object.

[0128] For example, if the shooting function is hip-fire, and the full-body animation of the virtual object performing hip-fire using a virtual prop in the target state is obtained as full-body animation C, then full-body animation C is displayed. FIG10 is a schematic diagram of a game screen display provided by an embodiment of the present application. The game screen shown in FIG10 is any frame of full-body animation C. Reference numeral 1001 in FIG10 indicates a virtual object.

[0129] For example, if the shooting function is shoulder shooting, and a full-body animation of a virtual object performing a shoulder shooting operation forward with a virtual prop in a target state is obtained, the full-body animation is displayed. FIG11 is a schematic diagram of a game screen provided in an embodiment of the present application. The game screen shown in FIG11 is any frame of the full-body animation, and 1101 in FIG11 indicates a virtual object.

[0130] For example, if the shooting function is shoulder shooting, and a full-body animation of a virtual object performing a shoulder shooting operation to the left using a virtual prop in a target state is obtained, the full-body animation is displayed. FIG12 is a schematic diagram of a game screen provided in an embodiment of the present application. The game screen shown in FIG12 is any frame of the full-body animation, and 1201 in FIG12 indicates a virtual object.

[0131] For example, if the shooting function is shoulder shooting, and a full-body animation of a virtual object performing a shoulder shooting operation to the right using a virtual prop in a target state is obtained, the full-body animation is displayed. FIG13 is a schematic diagram of a game screen provided in an embodiment of the present application. The game screen shown in FIG13 is any frame of the full-body animation, and 1301 in FIG13 indicates a virtual object.

[0132] For example, if the shooting function is shoulder shooting, and a full-body animation of a virtual object performing a shoulder shooting operation backwards using a virtual prop in a target state is obtained, the full-body animation is displayed. FIG14 is a schematic diagram of a game screen provided in an embodiment of the present application. The game screen shown in FIG14 is any frame of the full-body animation, and 1401 in FIG14 indicates a virtual object.

[0133] In one possible implementation, the shooting function is a shoulder-fire function. In response to a trigger operation on a directional control, a movement distance for the directional control is determined. A second position is determined based on the movement direction, the movement distance, and the first position. The distance between the second position and the first position is the movement distance. The second position is in the movement direction of the first position. The first position is the position of the virtual object in the virtual environment when the directional control is triggered. A full-body animation indicates that the virtual object moves toward the second position during the shooting operation. The full-body animation is displayed. In response to the end of the full-body animation, the virtual object is displayed at the second position. Determining the movement distance for the directional control in response to the trigger operation on the directional control is equivalent to determining the movement distance for the directional control in response to the trigger operation of the shooting function and the trigger operation on the directional control.

[0134] In an embodiment of the present application, the first position corresponds to the position of the virtual object before it moves in the direction indicated by the directional control, and the second position corresponds to the position reached by the virtual object after it moves in the direction indicated by the directional control. In response to a triggering operation on the directional control, the virtual object is controlled to move in the virtual scene. If the shooting function is not triggered at this time, the virtual object is displayed as moving from the first position to the second position in the virtual scene. However, because the shooting function is also triggered when the directional control is triggered, the acquired full-body animation not only displays the virtual object performing a shoulder-shooting operation using a virtual prop in a target state, but also displays the virtual object moving from the first position to the second position. After the full-body animation ends, the virtual object is displayed at the second position. In this way, the full-body animation can reflect the virtual object's movement in the virtual scene, and the position of the virtual object in the displayed image is consistent with the virtual object's actual position. This ensures that the displayed full-body animation matches the triggered operation, ensures the continuity of the game screen, improves the display effect, and thus enhances the user experience.

[0135] Optionally, determining the moving distance for the direction control includes: responding to a trigger operation of a shooting function and triggering the direction control, multiplying the moving speed of the virtual object by the duration of the full-body animation to determine the moving distance.

[0136] The movement speed of the virtual object is a preset arbitrary speed. For example, the movement speed of the virtual object is 1 meter per second. The duration of the full-body animation is an arbitrary duration, for example, the duration of the full-body animation is 2 seconds.

[0137] In an embodiment of the present application, in a full-body animation, the virtual object will also move in the direction indicated by the direction control and at the moving speed. The product of the moving speed of the virtual object and the duration of the full-body animation is determined as the moving distance to ensure that the position of the virtual object in the full-body animation is the same as the position of the virtual object in the virtual scene at the end of the full-body animation, avoiding the situation of different positions, ensuring the continuity of the screen display, and ensuring the display effect of the screen.

[0138] Optionally, the process of displaying the full-body animation includes: displaying the full-body animation at a second position.

[0139] In the embodiment of the present application, a full-body animation is displayed at the second position to reflect the scenario of the virtual object shooting in the moving direction, which can ensure the display effect.

[0140] To avoid the common issues of repetitive rendering and excessive playback time associated with full-body animations, full-body animations need to be able to be interrupted relatively freely during playback, allowing for transitions to other animations like firing, running, and sprinting. Therefore, the full-body animation asset backend needs to optimize animation transitions or add transition animations to ensure smooth and effective interruptions. Because full-body animations essentially consist of a single animation, they are more convenient to manage assets than additive animations. However, when interrupting and transitioning state machines, since transitions are made using full-body animations rather than upper-body animations, sufficient transition time is required to achieve better blending performance, or the transition animations can be played directly. Full-body animations inherently involve multi-directional displacement, and the displacement distances are often specified in the animation Blueprint, requiring matching on the client. When a full-body animation concludes and transitions to other states like running or sprinting, the displacement of these states is determined by the client, not the animation. The different displacement driving methods used by the two can easily cause virtual objects to freeze at zero velocity during the transition phase. Therefore, the additive animation displacement driving method should be used during the transition phase. In the process of connecting full-body animation, a displacement speed must also be assigned separately. Otherwise, the displacement and speed between the full-body animations will be zero, and the virtual object will remain motionless.

[0141] In one possible implementation, in response to the duration of a trigger operation for a shoulder-fire control being less than the target duration (i.e., in response to the trigger operation for the shoulder-fire control not being a long press), a full-body animation of the virtual object performing hip-fire in the target state using a virtual prop is obtained, and the full-body animation of the virtual object performing hip-fire in the target state using the virtual prop is displayed. The process of obtaining a full-body animation of the virtual object performing hip-fire in the target state using the virtual prop in response to the duration of the trigger operation for the shoulder-fire control being less than the target duration is similar to the process of obtaining a full-body animation of the virtual object performing hip-fire in the target state using the virtual prop in response to the trigger operation of the hip-fire function, and is not further described in detail in this embodiment of the present application.

[0142] In an embodiment of the present application, a long press operation on the shoulder-firing control is equivalent to triggering the virtual object to perform a shoulder-firing operation, and a short press operation on the shoulder-firing control is equivalent to triggering the virtual object to perform a hip-firing operation, thereby realizing a solution of realizing two different shooting methods through the same control. In this way, there is no need to display too many controls in the game screen, thereby ensuring the display effect of the screen. At the same time, there is no need for the user to click on different controls separately to realize different shooting methods, which facilitates user operation and enables the user to switch the shooting method of the virtual object at any time, thereby improving the efficiency of human-computer interaction.

[0143] It should be noted that the above embodiment uses the shoulder-fire control as an example. In another embodiment, only one shooting control is displayed on the game screen, and this shooting control is either the shoulder-fire control or the hip-fire control. A long press of the shooting control triggers the shoulder-fire function, and the full-body animation is displayed according to the above-described triggering process for the shoulder-fire function. A short press of the shooting control triggers the hip-fire function, and the full-body animation is displayed according to the above-described triggering process for the hip-fire function.

[0144] In one possible implementation, a shooting control of a shooting function is also displayed in the game screen, where the shooting function includes a hip-fire function or a shoulder-fire function, and the full-body animation includes a first full-body animation or a second full-body animation. The shooting operation corresponding to the hip-fire function includes a hip-fire operation, and the shooting operation corresponding to the shoulder-fire function includes a shoulder-fire operation. The first full-body animation is an animation of a virtual object performing a hip-fire operation through a virtual prop in a target state, and the second full-body animation is an animation of a virtual object performing a shoulder-fire operation through a virtual prop in a target state. The process of displaying the full-body animation includes: obtaining the first full-body animation in response to a short press operation on the shooting control; or obtaining the second full-body animation in response to a long press operation on the shooting control; and displaying the obtained full-body animation.

[0145] It should be noted that the process of obtaining the first full-body animation is the same as the process of obtaining the full-body animation of the simulated object performing hip-shooting operations through virtual props in the target state, and the process of obtaining the second full-body animation is the same as the process of obtaining the full-body animation of the simulated object performing shoulder-shooting operations through virtual props in the target state, and they will not be repeated here.

[0146] In the solution provided by the embodiments of the present application, when a shooting function is triggered, a full-body animation of the virtual object is captured when the virtual object is in a target state and performs a shooting operation corresponding to the shooting function using a virtual prop, and the captured full-body animation is then displayed. Because this method captures the full-body animation of the virtual object when the virtual object performs a shooting operation using a virtual prop, the subsequent animation display process is more coherent, and the shooting effect of the virtual object using the virtual prop is better, thereby improving the usage rate of the virtual object's shooting function and enhancing the game's interactivity.

[0147] It should be noted that, based on the above-described embodiment, other methods can also be used to obtain full-body animation.

[0148] In one possible implementation, the process of obtaining full-body animation includes: responding to a trigger operation of a shooting function and based on the number of triggers of the shooting function, obtaining a full-body animation, wherein the full-body animation is an animation of a virtual object performing a shooting operation through a virtual prop when the virtual object is in a target state and the shooting function is triggered the number of times.

[0149] Among them, the shooting function is a hip-shooting function or a shoulder-shooting function.

[0150] In an embodiment of the present application, when a virtual object is in the same target state and holds the same virtual prop, the full-body animation obtained by triggering the shooting function multiple times may be different. The terminal device obtains the full-body animation based on the number of times the shooting function is triggered, thereby implementing a solution in which the full-body animation changes with the number of times the shooting function is triggered, enriching the diversity of the full-body animation, and ensuring that the full-body animation displayed when the hip-fire function is triggered multiple times on the same virtual object is different, thereby enhancing the fun of the game and improving the user experience.

[0151] Optionally, the shooting function corresponds to n full-body animations, where n is an integer greater than 1; the process of obtaining the full-body animation includes: when the shooting function is triggered less than n times, determining the full-body animation with the serial number of the trigger number in the n full-body animations as the full-body animation to be displayed; when the shooting function is triggered greater than n times and the trigger number is an integer multiple of n, determining the last full-body animation in the n full-body animations as the full-body animation to be displayed; when the shooting function is triggered greater than n times and the trigger number is not an integer multiple of n, and determining the remainder of the trigger number of the shooting function divided by n, determining the full-body animation with the serial number of the remainder in the n full-body animations as the full-body animation to be displayed.

[0152] Among the n full-body animations, at least one of the following differs between the full-body animations: the action performed by the virtual object, the state of the virtual object, and the virtual props used by the virtual object. Optionally, the shooting function includes a hip-fire function or a shoulder-fire function, and the full-body animation corresponding to the hip-fire function differs from the full-body animation corresponding to the shoulder-fire function.

[0153] In an embodiment of the present application, the shooting function corresponds to n full-body animations. When the shooting function is triggered multiple times, the n full-body animations will be played in a loop in the order of arrangement. In this way, the scene of the virtual object shooting can be presented in the form of a full-body animation, and the diversity of the full-body animation can be ensured, thereby ensuring the display effect of the full-body animation.

[0154] For example, taking the hip-fire function as an example, the three full-body animations corresponding to the hip-fire function are full-body animation 1, full-body animation 2, and full-body animation 3. Full-body animation 1 will be displayed when the hip-fire function is triggered for the first time, full-body animation 2 will be displayed when the hip-fire function is triggered for the second time, full-body animation 3 will be displayed when the hip-fire function is triggered for the third time, full-body animation 1 will be displayed when the hip-fire function is triggered for the fourth time, and full-body animation 3 will be displayed when the hip-fire function is triggered for the fifth time. The full-body animation will be displayed subsequently.

[0155] In another possible implementation, a directional control is displayed in the game screen; the process of obtaining the full-body animation includes: responding to the trigger operation of the shooting function and the trigger operation of the directional control, and obtaining the full-body animation based on the moving direction of the directional control, wherein the full-body animation is an animation of the virtual object moving along the moving direction in the target state and performing the shooting operation through the virtual props.

[0156] In the embodiment of the present application, considering that the virtual object may move during the shooting process, when the shoulder shooting function is triggered, the direction control is also triggered, which means that not only the virtual object is controlled to perform the shoulder shooting operation but also the movement of the virtual object is controlled. Therefore, the full-body animation is obtained in combination with the moving direction indicated by the direction control, so that the obtained full-body animation can not only present the picture of the virtual object performing the shoulder shooting operation through the virtual props in the target state, but also present the picture of the virtual object moving along the moving direction. That is, the full-body animation can reflect the picture of the virtual object performing the shoulder shooting operation while moving, so as to ensure that the displayed full-body animation matches the triggered operation, avoids the situation where the user triggers the movement operation but the virtual object does not move, ensures the picture display effect, and improves the user experience.
