Sphere Surface Role Control Method, System and Device

This invention provides a method, system, and device for controlling a character on a sphere's surface. A coordinate system dynamic correction module calculates the direction from the sphere's center to the character's current position in real time to determine a local ascent vector. Based on this local ascent vector, the character's rotational posture is corrected so that the character's feet always face the sphere's center, and a local coordinate system is constructed using the local ascent vector. A vector projection module acquires the camera's direction vector and performs orthogonal projection processing on it using the local coordinate system to generate a tangential movement vector parallel to the tangential plane of the ground surface. This tangential movement vector is then used to drive the character to perform displacement operations. A terrain adsorption module responds to the displacement operations by emitting a probe ray based on the local ascent vector direction determined by the local coordinate system to perform sampling processing on the ground grid, acquiring the intersection point between the probe ray and the ground grid, determining the character's target height based on the intersection point, and correcting the character's position using the target height so that the character adheres to the ground grid in real time during movement.
