[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0020] In games, characters can typically unleash skills in a designated direction or location to create effects within the game environment. However, these skill effects are rather simplistic and fail to engage players, resulting in a poor gaming experience and low player retention.

[0021] Based on this, the present disclosure provides an interactive control method, device, and electronic device for games, which can be applied to the skill release process in games.

[0022] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the interactive control method in the game can run on a local terminal device or a server. When the interactive control method in the game runs on a server, it can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interactive system, wherein the cloud interactive system includes a server and a client device.

[0023] In an optional implementation, various cloud applications, such as cloud gaming, can run under the cloud interaction system. Taking cloud gaming as an example, cloud gaming refers to a gaming method based on cloud computing. In the cloud gaming operating mode, the game program and the game screen presentation are separated. The storage and execution of interactive control methods in the game are completed on the cloud gaming server. The client device is used for receiving and sending data and presenting the game screen. For example, the client device can be a display device with data transmission capabilities located close to the user, such as a mobile terminal, television, computer, or PDA; however, the information processing is performed by the cloud gaming server in the cloud. When playing the game, the user operates the client device to send operation commands to the cloud gaming server. The cloud gaming server runs the game according to the operation commands, encodes and compresses the game screen and other data, returns it to the client device via the network, and finally, the client device decodes and outputs the game screen.

[0024] In an optional implementation, taking a game as an example, the local terminal device stores the game program and is used to display the game screen. The local terminal device is used to interact with the user through a graphical user interface, that is, conventionally downloading, installing, and running the game program via an electronic device. The local terminal device can provide the graphical user interface to the user in various ways, such as rendering it on the terminal's display screen or providing it to the user through holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device can include a display screen for displaying the graphical user interface, which includes game screens, and a processor for running the game, generating the graphical user interface, and controlling the display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.

[0025] Referring to Figure 1, the interactive control method in a game provided by one embodiment of this disclosure will be described first, which provides a graphical user interface (GUI) through a terminal device. The GUI displays the game scene where the controlled virtual character is located. Typically, a virtual camera bound to the controlled virtual character is pre-set, simulating the controlled virtual character's field of vision. The virtual camera captures images of the game scene. The GUI typically displays the game scene captured by the virtual camera corresponding to the controlled virtual character. The target skill configured for the controlled virtual character can be a skill inherent to the controlled virtual character, or a skill acquired after obtaining a game item or triggering a certain game event; no restrictions are imposed here.

[0026] The method includes the following steps:

[0027] Step S102: In response to the first trigger command for the target skill, control the controlled virtual character to move toward the target direction in the game scene, wherein the target direction is determined based on the direction control operation received through the terminal device.

[0028] The aforementioned first trigger command can be generated by the player through touch operation on the touch screen. For example, a control control for triggering skills is set on the graphical user interface of the mobile device. The player can generate the first trigger command by performing a trigger operation on the control control.

[0029] The aforementioned first trigger command can also be generated by the player's operation of a human-computer interaction device connected to the terminal device. This human-computer interaction device can be a keyboard, mouse, game controller, etc., and is not limited here. A trigger operation on a specific button on the keyboard, mouse, or game controller can typically generate the first trigger command.

[0030] After the first trigger command is generated, the current orientation of the controlled virtual character can be used as the target direction. The controlled virtual character can then be controlled to move from its current position toward the target direction. For example, when the controlled virtual character can perform game actions such as jumping or flying, it can be made to face the ground while in the air, thus moving toward the target direction and colliding with the ground. When the controlled virtual character is on the ground, a scene object to be collided with can be selected, such as a virtual character or building in the game scene, and a target direction can be determined. The controlled virtual character can then move toward that target direction to collide with the corresponding scene object.

[0031] The aforementioned directional control operations can be performed using a mouse or through pre-defined controls on the graphical user interface. These directional control operations cause the virtual camera to rotate, thus changing the controlled virtual character's field of view. During skill activation, the field of view direction becomes the target direction.

[0032] Controlled virtual characters typically need to move towards a target direction. Once the target direction is updated, the character's movement direction can be directly controlled to change to the updated target direction. Since the change in movement direction is usually slow during displacement, the character's movement speed can be increased by applying acceleration in the updated target direction, allowing the character to continue moving and gradually change its direction towards the target.

[0033] In step S104, during the displacement process, in response to the collision between the controlled virtual character and the scene object in the game scene, the skill effect corresponding to the target skill is applied in the game scene based on the displacement collision position, and the controlled virtual character is transferred from the displacement collision position to the first scene position in the game scene.

[0034] The aforementioned scene objects typically refer to virtual buildings, terrain, etc., within the game scene, and may also include virtual characters within the game scene; there are no restrictions on this. When a controlled virtual character collides with a scene object in the game scene, a target skill's effective area can be determined first based on the collision location. Specifically, either a planar area within a certain range around the collision location can be used as the target skill's effective area, or a spatial area within a certain range around the collision location can be used as the target skill's effective area. There are no restrictions on this.

[0035] The aforementioned skill effects can be either an explosion effect, in which virtual characters within the target skill's area of ​​effect will suffer damage, resulting in reduced health or increased injury. Alternatively, the skill effect can randomly generate skill elements within the target skill's area of ​​effect; when these skill elements encounter other virtual characters, their health will decrease or their injury will increase. These two types of skill effects can be stacked or appear sequentially over time; there are no restrictions on this.

[0036] The aforementioned first scene location can be a fixed location within the game scene. For example, it could be the "base camp" of the game faction to which the controlled virtual character belongs. After moving to the "base camp," the controlled virtual character can avoid being attacked by enemy virtual characters. Alternatively, the first scene location can be variable. For example, it could be the location of other virtual characters within the controlled virtual character's game faction, or the location of the controlled virtual character before the first trigger command was generated. The specific location can be set according to requirements and is not limited here.

[0037] After a controlled virtual character collides with a scene object in the game scene, the controlled virtual character can be directly moved from the collision point to the first scene position in the game scene. Alternatively, the controlled virtual character can be moved from the collision point to the first scene position in the game scene after the skill effect has completed. Or, the controlled virtual character can be moved from the collision point to the first scene position in the game scene after a specified time has elapsed since the collision. The specific settings can be configured according to needs, and no restrictions are imposed here.

[0038] The aforementioned interactive control method in a game, in response to a first trigger command for a target skill, controls a controlled virtual character to move towards a target direction in the game scene. The target direction is determined based on directional control operations received via a terminal device. During the movement, in response to a collision between the controlled virtual character and a scene object in the game scene, the skill effect corresponding to the target skill is applied to the game scene based on the collision location, and the controlled virtual character is moved from the collision location to a first scene position in the game scene. This method enriches the ways game characters release skills, improves the player's gaming experience, and increases player retention.

[0039] The following embodiments provide a specific method for controlling a controlled virtual character to move toward a target direction in a game scene in response to a first trigger command for a target skill.

[0040] Typically, a virtual camera corresponding to the controlled virtual character is pre-set. The virtual camera can be attached to the controlled virtual character, or their relative position can be fixed. The graphical user interface usually displays the scene image captured by the virtual camera corresponding to the controlled virtual character. The shooting direction of the virtual camera corresponds to the target direction of the controlled virtual character. When displaying the first position indicator, it is usually displayed in the center of the scene image. The first position indicator indicates the collision point between the controlled virtual character and the game scene when the controlled virtual character moves towards the target direction. As shown in Figure 2, the first position indicator consists of an ellipse and an arrow. When a crosshair needs to be displayed, it usually overlaps with the first position indicator.

[0041] If a ray emitted from the virtual camera along the target direction intersects with a scene object in the game scene, a first position indicator will be displayed, which is usually also displayed in the center of the scene screen. If a ray emitted from the virtual camera along the target direction does not intersect with a scene object in the game scene, such as when it is emitted into the sky, a first position indicator will usually not be displayed.

[0042] In practical applications, the controlled virtual character can be moved to a specific location before moving towards the target direction. Specifically, in response to a second trigger command for a target skill, the current position of the controlled virtual character in the game scene is determined as a first scene position, and the controlled virtual character is moved from the first scene position to a second scene position. This second scene position can be a location above the first scene position, or it can be a fixed location in the game scene used for the target skill; there are no restrictions here.

[0043] The second trigger instruction can be generated in a similar way to the first trigger instruction, such as by triggering a control on the graphical user interface or by operating a human-computer interaction device. No restrictions are imposed here.

[0044] When the second scene position is above the first scene position, the controlled virtual character can be controlled to move vertically a preset distance from the current position to the second scene position directly above the first scene position; or the controlled virtual character can be controlled to move diagonally upwards at a specified height from the current position to the first position in the area above the first scene position, where the first position is not directly above the first scene position.

[0045] In some situations, while the controlled virtual character is moving upwards, the player can also control the character's direction of movement on the horizontal plane using movement controls. These movement controls can be implemented using keyboard keys, a gamepad joystick, or a touch-sensitive virtual joystick control in the graphical user interface, without restriction. Alternatively, after the controlled virtual character has moved to its initial position, the player can control its movement on the horizontal plane, adjust its field of view, etc. Specific settings can be customized according to needs.

[0046] In practical applications, the height at which the controlled virtual character moves can also be controlled. For example, when a player can generate a second trigger command by pressing a button, the duration of that button press can be used as a parameter in the first trigger command. The height at which the controlled virtual character moves can be positively correlated with this parameter. Assuming the player only clicks the button, the height at which the controlled virtual character moves is the preset first height. Assuming the player presses the button for 2 seconds, the height at which the controlled virtual character moves is the sum of the first height and the product of a preset unit height and 2, which is higher than the first height. Specific settings can be configured according to requirements and are not limited here.

[0047] After moving the controlled virtual character to the second scene location, the player can generate a first trigger command. In response to the first trigger command targeting a skill, the player controls the controlled virtual character to move from the second scene location towards the target in the game scene.

[0048] To advance the game's progression, each stage of the skill release process is typically time-limited. After the second trigger command is generated, a timer can begin, such as a 5-second countdown. Within those 5 seconds, the player can generate the first trigger command. In response to the timer reaching the preset first duration, i.e., the aforementioned 5 seconds, the player controls the virtual character to move from the second scene location towards the target direction in the game scene. This can be considered as the game system automatically generating the first trigger command and controlling the virtual character to move from the second scene location towards the target direction.

[0049] Similarly, the duration of the controlled virtual character's movement can also be controlled by timing. In response to the first trigger command, the timing starts; in response to the timing reaching the preset second duration, and if the controlled virtual character does not collide with any scene objects in the game scene, the movement of the controlled virtual character is canceled.

[0050] After generating the first trigger command for the target skill, the controlled virtual character can be moved towards the target in the game scene in a first display form. The volume of the first display form is larger than the initial display form of the controlled virtual character. This creates a more stimulating visual effect and increases the probability of the controlled virtual character colliding with objects in the scene, thus improving the skill's hit rate.

[0051] During the movement of the controlled virtual character from its position in the second scene towards the target direction, the character can be controlled to perform a specified posture, such as a diving posture. The movement speed can remain constant or gradually increase, depending on the requirements.

[0052] During or after the controlled virtual character moves from the first scene location to the second scene location, the player can perform directional control actions. In response to these actions, the controlled virtual character's target direction needs to be updated. As the target direction updates, the scene view captured by the virtual camera also updates. The first position marker is always displayed in the center of the scene view, but the intersection of the controlled virtual character's target direction and the surface of a scene object in the game scene has changed.

[0053] The movement speed of the controlled virtual character can typically be constant or gradually increase; this is not restricted here. When the player changes the target direction using directional control, to adjust the controlled virtual character's displacement towards the target direction, an acceleration based on the updated target direction can be added to the controlled virtual character's movement speed. This results in an updated movement speed for the controlled virtual character, causing it to turn and gradually move towards the updated target direction. When the controlled virtual character's movement direction is the same as the updated target direction, the acceleration is canceled. At this point, there is no need to change the controlled virtual character's movement direction, so acceleration can be stopped.

[0054] During the movement of a controlled virtual character, if the character's state does not meet one or more preset conditions, the movement can be canceled. If the movement is canceled, the controlled virtual character can be moved to the first scene position in the game scene. At this time, the target skill does not produce the corresponding skill effect, and the target skill release can be considered a failure.

[0055] In practical implementation, during the displacement process, if the controlled virtual character's health falls below a preset threshold, it can be determined that the controlled virtual character's character state does not meet the specified conditions. The controlled virtual character may be affected by the abilities of other virtual characters during movement, causing its health to decrease. Alternatively, the controlled virtual character's health may decrease as it moves. If the controlled virtual character's health drops to 0, or to any other threshold greater than 0, it can be considered that the controlled virtual character cannot continue moving, i.e., the specified conditions are not met. Alternatively, the controlled virtual character can be determined to not meet the specified conditions if it receives a specified number of attacks.

[0056] During the displacement process, if the displacement duration of the controlled virtual character exceeds the specified duration, it is determined that the character state of the controlled virtual character does not meet the specified conditions. In this case, a countdown can be performed based on the specified duration and the displacement duration of the controlled virtual character. When the countdown reaches 0, it is confirmed that the character state of the controlled virtual character does not meet the specified conditions.

[0057] The following embodiment provides a specific method for responding to a collision between a controlled virtual character and a scene object in a game scene, applying the skill effect corresponding to the target skill in the game scene based on the displacement collision position, and transferring the controlled virtual character from the displacement collision position to a first scene position in the game scene.

[0058] Typically, the target skill's effective area needs to be determined based on the displacement and collision position; the corresponding skill effect is then applied within this area. When determining the target skill's effective area, the collision position can be used as the center, with a preset length as the radius. The effective area can be a circular planar region, i.e., on the surface of the scene object, or a spherical spatial region, which can simultaneously include the scene object and the space above it.

[0059] Game scenarios typically include multiple virtual characters. In response to the first virtual character being within the target skill's area of ​​effect, the specified attribute parameters of the first virtual character are updated. The first virtual character can be any virtual character, or a virtual character from a different game faction than the controlled virtual character. The specified attribute parameters can include the character's health, damage taken, durability, etc., and are not limited here.

[0060] Skill effect elements can also be generated within the target skill's area of ​​effect to achieve the skill's effect. These skill effect elements can expand outwards from the collision point to the boundary of the target skill's area of ​​effect, or they can appear randomly within the target skill's area of ​​effect. In response to an interaction between the skill effect element and a second virtual character located within the target skill's area of ​​effect, the specified attribute parameters of the second virtual character are updated. Typically, an interaction is considered to have occurred when the skill effect element appears or moves to the location of the second virtual character.

[0061] When a controlled virtual character collides with a scene object in the game scene, before moving the controlled virtual character from the collision point to the first scene position in the game scene, a target masking effect can be overlaid on the graphical user interface (GUI) for a specified duration. This ensures that at least a portion of the scene image captured by the virtual camera is not displayed on the GUI. The target masking effect can be static or dynamic; for example, it can be gradually covered by specified interface elements. Specifically, it can gradually display mosaic effects, pure white effects, halo effects, etc., without limitation. After the specified duration, the overlay of the target masking effect is canceled, ensuring that all scene images captured by the virtual camera are displayed on the GUI.

[0062] When a controlled virtual character collides with an object in the game scene, the player can control the character to be made invisible relative to other virtual characters for a specified duration. During this duration, the controlled virtual character is also made unattackable. Attacks from other virtual characters will not affect the controlled virtual character. After the specified duration, the controlled virtual character is made visible again relative to other virtual characters in the game scene. This can create the effect of the controlled virtual character suddenly disappearing and reappearing, requiring other players to strategically manage their characters' movement within the scene, increasing game enjoyment and thus improving player retention.

[0063] After a controlled virtual character collides with a scene object, a timer can be started. When the specified time is reached, the controlled virtual character is moved from the collision point to the first scene position in the game scene. Similarly, after the controlled virtual character's displacement is canceled, a timer can also be started. When the specified time is reached, the controlled virtual character is moved from the canceled displacement point to the first scene position in the game scene.

[0064] If the controlled virtual character's state does not meet the specified conditions, and the control cancels the controlled virtual character's displacement, before the controlled virtual character moves to the first scene position, a first display effect can also be generated in the scene screen displayed in the graphical user interface, and before the controlled virtual character moves to the first scene position, the controlled virtual character can be made invisible relative to other virtual characters in the game scene.

[0065] Embodiments of this disclosure also provide another method for interactive control in games. This method is implemented based on the method shown in Figure 1.

[0066] In this method, the controlled virtual character stands on the surface of a scene object in the game scene, such as the interior surface of a building, before generating the first trigger command (also known as "unactivated skill"). When the player controls the character to generate the first trigger command (also known as "activated skill"), the character rises into the air. At this time, the graphical user interface displays a countdown progress and a prompt "Press the left mouse button to start the dive," and the crosshair's aiming position on the ground displays an aiming marker (equivalent to the aforementioned "first position indicator"). As shown in Figure 3, the crosshair is displayed in the center of the graphical user interface, with the aiming marker overlapping it. The crosshair is represented by a crosshair, the aiming marker is displayed in a flame shape, and the countdown progress is represented by a circular marker centered on the crosshair.

[0067] After the player presses the left mouse button, the character changes to another form and begins to dive. During the dive, the direction of the dive can be adjusted by rotating the view. The countdown indicator in the graphical user interface is updated to display the dive countdown, as shown in Figure 4.

[0068] During the dive phase, the character can be attacked. If the attack reduces the character's health to 0, the dive phase ends prematurely, and the character immediately enters the heat chamber phase. If the character crashes into the environment before the countdown ends, an explosion is triggered. If the countdown reaches zero during the dive, the character immediately enters the heat chamber phase.

[0069] When a character explodes, enemy characters within a certain range around the impact point will suffer a high amount of damage, and a circular pulse (equivalent to the aforementioned "designated effect element") will spread outward from the impact point, dealing damage to any enemy targets it touches.

[0070] When a character enters the White Chamber phase, all models in their field of vision except their own character model are gradually covered in pure white. After the coverage is complete, wait a short while, and then the character's position will teleport back to the location where the skill was activated. The field of vision will gradually return to normal from pure white. From other players' perspectives, this character will disappear after the explosion and then reappear at the location where the skill was activated after a period of time.

[0071] This approach enriches the ways game characters can unleash their skills, enhances the player's gaming experience, and increases player retention.

[0072] For the above method embodiments, referring to one of the interactive control devices in a game shown in Figure 5, a graphical user interface is provided through a terminal device; the graphical user interface displays the game scene where the controlled virtual character is located, and the controlled virtual character is configured with a target skill; the interactive control device in the game includes a skill triggering module 502 and a skill effect application module 504, wherein:

[0073] The skill triggering module 502 is configured to respond to the first triggering command and control the controlled virtual character to move towards a target direction in the game scene, wherein the target direction is determined based on the direction control operation received through the terminal device; the skill effect application module 504 is configured to, during the displacement process, respond to the collision between the controlled virtual character and a scene object in the game scene, apply the skill effect corresponding to the target skill in the game scene based on the displacement collision position, and transfer the controlled virtual character from the displacement collision position to the first scene position in the game scene.

[0074] The aforementioned interactive control device in a game, in response to a first trigger command for a target skill, controls a controlled virtual character to move towards a target direction in the game scene. The target direction is determined based on directional control operations received via a terminal device. During the movement, in response to a collision between the controlled virtual character and a scene object in the game scene, the device applies the skill effect corresponding to the target skill to the game scene based on the collision point, and then moves the controlled virtual character from the collision point to a first scene position in the game scene. This method enriches the ways game characters release skills, improves the player's gaming experience, and increases player retention.

[0075] Optionally, the device may also include a displacement cancellation control module configured to: during displacement, in response to the controlled virtual character's character state not meeting specified conditions, control the cancellation of the controlled virtual character's displacement.

[0076] Optionally, the device may further include a character state determination module, which is configured to: determine that the character state of the controlled virtual character does not meet the specified conditions in response to the controlled virtual character's health value falling below a preset threshold during the displacement process; or determine that the character state of the controlled virtual character does not meet the specified conditions in response to the controlled virtual character being attacked a specified number of times during the displacement process; or determine that the character state of the controlled virtual character does not meet the specified conditions in response to the controlled virtual character's displacement duration exceeding a specified duration during the displacement process.

[0077] Optionally, the device may also include a character transfer module configured to perform: in response to the cancellation of the displacement of the controlled virtual character, control to transfer the controlled virtual character to a first scene position in the game scene.

[0078] Optionally, the character transfer module can also be configured to: in response to a second trigger command for a target skill, determine the current position of the controlled virtual character in the game scene as a first scene position, and move the controlled virtual character from the first scene position to a second scene position.

[0079] Optionally, the aforementioned skill triggering module 502 is specifically configured to: respond to a first triggering command for a target skill, control the controlled virtual character to move from a second scene position toward the target direction in the game scene.

[0080] Optionally, the graphical user interface displays a scene image captured by a virtual camera corresponding to the controlled virtual character, showing the game scene; the shooting direction of the virtual camera corresponds to the target direction of the controlled virtual character; the device may further include an indicator display module, which is configured to: display a first position indicator at the center of the scene image; the first position indicator is used to indicate the displacement collision position between the controlled virtual character and the game scene when the controlled virtual character moves toward the target direction in the game scene.

[0081] The above embodiments fully consider that each stage of the skill release process is usually subject to time constraints, thereby advancing the game's progress. This not only produces more exciting visual effects but also increases the probability of collision between the controlled virtual character and scene objects, thus improving the skill's hit rate. Furthermore, this method enriches the ways in which game characters can release skills, enhances the player's gaming experience, and increases player retention.
