[0043] In view of the existing game, the traditional way of loading a carrier with a launch missile, in the process of selecting the launch point of the missile by the player, the entire map needs to be started, and the started entire map will block the current game picture, which interrupts the related HUD operation of the carrier loaded with the launch missile, affects the game operation continuity, causes the player's operation complexity to be high, and further causes the problem of low human-computer interaction efficiency. The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a game launch weapon control method and device, electronic equipment and storage medium, which can quickly realize the control of the launch weapon without blocking the game picture and affecting the related operation, ensure the game operation continuity, reduce the complexity of the game operation, and further improve the game interaction efficiency.

[0044] The control method of projecting a weapon in a game can be applied to various types of games, such as third-person shooting games, first-person shooting games, and massive multiplayer online (MMO) games.

[0045] As shown in FIG. 1, a control method of projecting a weapon in a game is provided in a first embodiment of the present disclosure. A graphical user interface for running the game is provided by a terminal device. A first game scene picture of the game is displayed on the graphical user interface, and the first game scene picture is a scene picture from the perspective of a target game character in the game. The method comprises the following steps.

[0046] S101, a projection aiming control for the projected weapon is displayed on the graphical user interface, and the projection aiming control comprises a first projection aiming control.

[0047] S102, in response to a first trigger operation on the first projection aiming control, the perspective of the target game character is kept unchanged, a first selectable map is displayed on the graphical user interface, and a projection control area is displayed at the first projection aiming control. A touch point of the first trigger operation acts in the projection control area. A position prompt mark is included on the first selectable map, and the position prompt mark is mapped with the touch point.

[0048] S103, in response to a first sliding operation in the projection control area and continuous with the first trigger operation, the position prompt mark is controlled to move following the touch point of the first sliding operation.

[0049] S104, the projected weapon is controlled according to the position of the touch point of the first sliding operation in the projection control area.

[0050] The control method for projecting a weapon in a game provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be run on a terminal device or a server. The terminal device can be a local terminal device. When the control method for projecting a weapon in a game is run on the server, it can be cloud gaming. The control method for projecting a weapon in a game is run on the server and is implemented based on the interaction between the server and the terminal device.

[0051] The control method for projecting a weapon in a game in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be run on a terminal device or a server. The terminal device can be a local terminal device. When the control method for projecting a weapon in a game is run on the server, it can be cloud gaming. The control method for projecting a weapon in a game is run on the server and is implemented based on the interaction between the server and the terminal device.

[0052] In an optional embodiment, the local terminal device (i.e., the client) stores a game program and is used to present a game picture. The local terminal device is used to interact with a player through a graphical user interface, i.e., a conventional game program is downloaded and installed on an electronic device and is run. The local terminal device can provide the graphical user interface to the player in multiple ways, for example, it can be rendered and displayed on the display screen of the terminal, or it can be provided to the player through holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device can include a display screen used to present a graphical user interface including a game picture and a processor used to run the game, generate the graphical user interface, and control the display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.

[0053] In another optional embodiment, cloud gaming refers to a game mode based on cloud computing. In the running mode of cloud gaming, the running subject of a game program and the presentation subject of a game scene are separated, and the storage and running of game scene information are completed on a server. A terminal device is used for receiving and sending data and presenting a game scene. For example, the terminal device can be a display device close to a user side and having a data transmission function, such as a mobile terminal, a television, a computer, a palm computer, and the like. However, the terminal device for processing game scene information is a cloud game server in the cloud. When editing a game scene, a target user operates a terminal device to generate game scene information and sends the game scene information to the cloud game server. The cloud game server processes the game scene data, such as encoding and compression, and returns the terminal device through a network. Finally, the terminal device receives the processed game scene information and outputs the game scene.

[0054] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the above exemplary steps of the embodiments of the present disclosure are described respectively.

[0055] S101, display a projection aiming control for the projection weapon on the graphical user interface, the projection aiming control comprising a first projection aiming control.

[0056] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, a graphical user interface for running the game is provided by a terminal device, and a first game scene picture of the game is displayed on the graphical user interface. The first game scene picture is a scene picture in the perspective of a target game character in the game. The target game character is a game character controlled by a player in the game. The target game character perspective refers to the shooting angle of a virtual camera bound to the target game character in the game. The binding specifically refers to that the virtual camera and the target game character have a preset relative position and lens orientation. Taking a third-person shooting game as an example, the first game scene picture in the perspective of the target game character includes the target game character. Optionally, the target game character is located at the center of the first game scene picture (i.e., the graphical user interface).

[0057] Taking a third-person shooting game as an example, the first game scene picture includes a target game character and a projection weapon equipped by the target game character, and the projection weapon is usually mounted on a carrier, and of course can be held by the target game character. Compared with the hand-held mode, the carrier is equivalent to the target game character, so the related features of the carrier described below also apply to the target game character. In actual games, the projection weapon is usually mounted in a designated carrier, for example, the projection weapon as a missile is mounted on a designated carrier tank, so the following is described by taking the projection weapon mounted on the carrier as an example. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2a, a projection aiming control for the projection weapon 100 is also displayed on the graphical user interface 200, and the projection aiming control includes a first projection aiming control 101. Optionally, the first projection aiming control corresponds to a first projection range, and a second projection aiming control 102 corresponds to a second projection range.

[0058] In an embodiment, the projection weapon is provided with three range segments, the first range segment is a range from the center point of the projection weapon to the first set distance (such as 0-2), which corresponds to the invalid attack range (i.e. invalid range projection), because in this range, the projection weapon is launched, which will affect the target game character or the carrier, therefore, this range is set as the invalid attack range. The first set distance here is the invalid projection distance of the projection weapon. The center point of the projection weapon can be determined according to the projection weapon, or can be determined according to the carrier mounting the projection weapon. The second range segment is a range from the first set distance of the projection weapon to the second set distance (such as 2-4), which corresponds to the near distance projection range (i.e. short range projection), which is the field of view range of the target game character. Correspondingly, the second set distance here is the distance matched with the field of view range of the target game character. The third range segment is a range from the second set distance of the projection weapon to the first projection distance (such as 4-8), which corresponds to the long distance projection range (i.e. long range projection). It should be noted that the above 0, 2, 4, 8 are the codes of the distance, which show the size relationship between different distances, and are not time distances. The specific actual distance is configured according to the game situation.

[0059] The first projection range corresponding to the first projection aiming control can be the second range segment and / or the third range segment, that is, the first projection range can be a combined range segment that does not distinguish between the "short-range projection" and the "long-range projection", that is, the first projection range can include the second range segment and the third range segment (such as 2-8), or can include the second range segment of the "short-range projection" (such as 2-4), or can be the third range segment of the "long-range projection" (such as 4-8). Specifically, when the "first projection aiming control" is configured as the "short-range aiming control", the first projection range includes the second range segment; when the "first projection aiming control" is configured as the "long-range aiming control", the first projection range includes the third range segment; and when the "first projection aiming control" is not limited to the short-range and the long-range, the first projection range includes the second range segment and the third range segment. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, taking the "first projection aiming control" as the "long-range aiming control" as an example, the corresponding first projection range is the third range segment (such as 4-8); correspondingly, the second projection aiming control corresponds to the second projection range, which is the second range segment (such as 2-4).

[0060] In response to a first trigger operation for the first projection aiming control, S102, the target game character view is kept unchanged, a first selectable map is displayed on the graphical user interface, and a projection control area is displayed at the first projection aiming control; the touch point of the first trigger operation acts on the projection control area, and the first selectable map includes a position prompt mark, which is mapped with the touch point.

[0061] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first trigger operation is a trigger operation different from the second trigger operation, and the second trigger operation can be a click operation. The first trigger operation can be a long press, a heavy press, a long press and heavy press operation, and the like.

[0062] Wherein, no matter the method is applied to the server or the terminal device, the system is collectively called to respond to the operation, after the player triggers the first trigger operation for the first projection aiming control, as shown in FIG. 2b, the system responds to the first trigger operation, keeps the target game character view unchanged, displays a display box 201 on the graphical user interface 200, and displays a first selectable map 202 through the display box 201, and the first selectable map 202 includes a position prompt mark 203; It also includes an invalid projection area mark 204; The position of the above-mentioned display box 201 on the graphical user interface 200 can be set arbitrarily, and optionally, the above-mentioned display box 201 is displayed at a specified position (such as a central position) of the graphical user interface 200, the display box 201 has a preset binding position relationship with the projection weapon, when the projection weapon is carried on the carrier, the display box 201 has a preset position binding relationship with the carrier; When the projection weapon is held by the target game character, the display box 201 has a preset position binding relationship with the target game character; Usually, the target game character is in the center position of the graphical user interface, and correspondingly, the display box 201 covers part of the game character or the carrier of the projection weapon.

[0063] As shown in FIG. 2b, the above-mentioned display box 201 is a range circle, and the first selectable map 202 is displayed in the range circle, and a projection control area 207 is displayed at the first projection aiming control 101, here, the projection control area 207 covers the first projection aiming control 101, at this time, the touch point of the first trigger operation of the player is acting in the projection control area 207.

[0064] As shown in FIG. 2b, the projection control area 207 includes a first virtual joystick 206 which is limited to move within the first indication area 205; The first virtual joystick 206 is used to follow the touch point of the first sliding operation to move; When the first virtual joystick 206 moves, the position prompt mark 203 on the first selectable map 202 moves following the first virtual joystick 206;

[0065] The first indication area 205 includes an invalid control area (a small circle area where "X" is located in FIG. 2a) with the center point of the first indication area as the center and a first threshold as the radius; the first selectable map 202 is a map with the projectile weapon as the center and a first projection distance of the projectile weapon as the radius; it should be noted that when the projectile weapon is mounted on a carrier (or held by a target game character), the first selectable map 202 is a map with the carrier (or the target game character) as the center and the first projection distance of the projectile weapon as the radius. The invalid control area maps a first map area in the first selectable map 202 with the projectile weapon as the center and a second projection distance of the projectile weapon as the radius, the second projection distance being smaller than the first projection distance; the second projection distance is determined according to a first set distance of the projectile weapon invalid projection; or the second projection distance is determined according to a second set distance matched with the field of view range of the target game character; the first set distance is smaller than the second set distance.

[0066] In an embodiment, the first set distance is a distance in which the projectile weapon cannot project, and when the second projection distance is determined according to the first set distance, it can be understood that the second projection distance is the first set distance, and at this time, the first map area A is determined; the second set distance is a distance in which the projectile weapon projects in a short range, and when the second projection distance is determined according to the second set distance matched with the field of view range of the target game character, it can be understood that the second projection distance is the second set distance, and at this time, the first map area B is determined; therefore, the invalid control area can map the first map area A or the first map area B, and the first map area B includes the first map area A.

[0067] Here, mapping means that when the player operates the first virtual joystick 206 to move in the invalid control area, the position prompt mark 203 moves in the first map area A or the first map area B, but cannot select the first target projection point; in another way, because the invalid control area 207 cannot select the first target projection point, the position prompt mark 203 is not displayed in the invalid control area. It can also be understood that only the second map area on the first selectable map 202 includes the position prompt mark 203, and the first map area (including the first map area A and the first map area B) on the first selectable map 202 does not include the position prompt mark 203. Specifically, in FIG. 2b, the first selectable map 202 includes a position prompt mark 203, specifically, a position prompt mark 203 is displayed in the second map area of the first selectable map 202, and the position prompt mark 203 is mapped with the touch point, and no position prompt mark 203 is displayed in the first map area (the area corresponding to the invalid projection area mark 204) of the first selectable map 202.

[0068] The first indication area further comprises a valid control area in addition to the invalid control area, and the valid control area maps a second map area in the first optional map in addition to the first map area. Here, mapping means that when the player operates the first virtual joystick 206 to move in the valid control area of the first indication area 205 (the area within the large circle of the first indication area and outside the small circle where "X" is located in FIG. 2b), the corresponding position prompt mark 203 follows the first virtual joystick 206 to move and simultaneously selects the first target projection point.

[0069] S203, in response to a first sliding operation in the projection control area and continuous with the first trigger operation, controlling the position prompt mark to follow the touch point of the first sliding operation to move.

[0070] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first sliding operation is an operation that is continuous with the first trigger operation and still located in the projection control area, the position of the touch point at the initial position of the first sliding operation is the same as that of the touch point of the first trigger operation, then, as the first sliding operation is performed, the corresponding touch point of the first sliding operation moves in the projection control area, and at the same time, according to the moving speed and direction of the touch point, the position prompt mark is controlled to follow the touch point of the first sliding operation to move; the position prompt mark is used to determine the first target projection point in the first optional map.

[0071] S204, according to the position of the touch point of the first sliding operation in the projection control area, controlling the projection weapon.

[0072] As described above, the projection control area comprises a valid control area and an invalid control area; specifically, when the touch point of the first sliding operation is located in the valid control area of the projection control area, the first target projection point is determined according to the touch point of the first sliding operation; when the touch point of the first sliding operation is located in the invalid control area of the projection control area, the first target projection point cannot be determined.

[0073] Here, after the first target projection point is determined, the projection weapon can be controlled to be fired towards the first target projection point; here, the system can perform the above-mentioned control firing operation in response to the end of the first operation, or, in response to the first trigger operation on the first projection aiming control, a third firing control is further arranged on the graphical user interface, and the system performs the above-mentioned control firing operation in response to a touch operation (such as a click operation) on the third firing control;

[0074] When the first target projection point cannot be determined, the system can be controlled to cancel the launching of the projection weapon; here, the system can be controlled to cancel the launching of the projection weapon in response to the end of the first sliding operation, or, in addition to the first trigger operation for the first projection aiming control, a second termination launching control can be provided on the graphical user interface, and the above-mentioned control cancel operation can be performed in response to a touch operation (such as a click operation) for the second termination launching control.

[0075] Further, the game projection weapon control method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure further comprises:

[0076] After the projection weapon is launched or the launching of the projection weapon is canceled, the first selectable map and the projection control area are canceled.

[0077] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, whether the projection weapon is successfully launched or the launching of the projection weapon is canceled, the system cancels the display of the first selectable map and the projection control area to exit the remote attack mode of the quick operation remote aiming control projection weapon.

[0078] In addition, in a tense state of the game of the player, the player usually needs to control the movement of the carrier, and based on this, the game projection weapon control method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure further comprises that the graphical user interface further comprises a movement control area, and the movement control area comprises a second virtual joystick that is limited to move within a second indication area; the method further comprises:

[0079] In response to a movement control operation for the second virtual joystick, the system controls the projection weapon to move following the second virtual joystick, and updates the first selectable map according to the position of the projection weapon after the movement.

[0080] Here, the player controls the second virtual joystick within the second indication area, and the system controls the projection weapon (or the carrier carrying the projection weapon) to move following the second virtual joystick according to the movement speed and the movement direction of the second virtual joystick in response to the operation of the player for the second virtual joystick, and updates the first selectable map according to the position of the projection weapon after the movement, so that the player selects the first target projection point in the updated first selectable map; in the actual game, the position of the target game character is also included in the first selectable map.

[0081] In the above scheme, the disclosure embodiment provides a fast remote attack mode, which is agile point selection and launching during mobile vehicle process. After long pressing the first projection aiming control (
