Description

Control method, related device, equipment and storage medium for virtual prop

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of computer technologies, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, a device, and a storage medium for controlling a virtual prop.

Background

In some shooting game applications, virtual throwing props (e.g., grenades, smoke bullets, etc.) are a common prop that a player can choose to throw in a high or low-throw manner. This way of attack requires the player to aim at the enemy and throw out the virtual throwing prop, which after hitting the enemy would harm the enemy.

When the player presses the throwing control and keeps unreleasing, the virtual throwing prop enters an explosion countdown state, and related prompts are displayed on the screen, namely throwing the drop point guide wire and explosion countdown. When the user releases the throwing control, the virtual throwing prop will throw along the throwing drop point leader. The explosion time of the virtual throwing prop is synchronously reduced according to the reduction of the countdown, and the virtual throwing prop is directly detonated when the countdown is zero.

The inventor finds that under the condition that the player presses the throwing control for a long time and does not throw the virtual throwing prop, the throwing direction of the virtual throwing prop is focused more, so that the explosion countdown is easy to ignore, the virtual throwing prop is not thrown by the player before the countdown is finished, and the accidental injury probability of a game role is increased. In view of the above problems, no effective solution has been proposed at present.

Detailed Description

The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth" and the like in the description and in the claims and in the above drawings, if any, are used for distinguishing between similar objects and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used may be interchanged where appropriate such that the embodiments of the application described herein may be implemented, for example, in sequences other than those illustrated or otherwise described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "includes" and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

With the increasing richness of game contents, the types and the number of props in the game are increasing, which is a test for reasonable use of various virtual props by players. The virtual props not only comprise various accessories, multiple mirrors and the like familiar to players, but also comprise virtual throwing props. Reasonable use of virtual throwing props can make the tactics of players richer and more perfect. However, the virtual throwing prop may also cause damage to itself, and an erroneous throwing manner may cause damage to a virtual operation object controlled by the player. In the game, when a player presses a throwing control and keeps the throwing control unreleased, the virtual throwing prop enters a detonation or corrosion countdown state, and when the countdown is zero, the virtual throwing prop directly detonates or starts to corrode.

In order to reduce the probability of accidental injury and make the explosion time or corrosion time of the virtual throwing prop more definite, the application provides a control method of the virtual prop, which is applied to a virtual prop control system shown in fig. 1, and as shown in the figure, for a single-machine game, the virtual prop control system comprises a terminal device. For networking-type games, the virtual prop control system includes a terminal device and a server. The game client is deployed on the terminal device, and the game client may be run on the terminal device in a browser mode, or may be run on the terminal device in an independent Application (APP) mode, etc., and specific presentation modes of the client are not limited herein. The server related by the application can be an independent physical server, a server cluster or a distributed system formed by a plurality of physical servers, and can also be a cloud server for providing cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery networks (Content Delivery Network, CDNs), basic cloud computing services such as big data and artificial intelligent platforms and the like. The terminal device may be, but is not limited to, a smart phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palm computer, a personal computer, a smart television, a smart watch, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, and the like. The terminal device and the server may be directly or indirectly connected through wired or wireless communication, and the present application is not limited herein. The number of servers and terminal devices is not limited either. The scheme provided by the application can be independently completed by the terminal equipment, can be independently completed by the server, and can be completed by the cooperation of the terminal equipment and the server, so that the scheme is not particularly limited.

It will be appreciated that the game to which the present application relates may also be a cloud game. The cloud game may also be called game on demand (game on demand), which is an online game technology based on a cloud computing technology. Cloud gaming technology enables lightweight devices (thin clients) with relatively limited graphics processing and data computing capabilities to run high quality games. In a cloud game scene, the game is not run in a player game terminal, but is run in a cloud server, the cloud server renders the game scene into a video and audio stream, and the video and audio stream is transmitted to the player game terminal through a network. The player game terminal does not need to have strong graphic operation and data processing capability, and only needs to have basic streaming media playing capability and the capability of acquiring player input instructions and sending the player input instructions to the cloud server.

Based on this, an example of triggering the virtual throwing prop alert function will be described below in connection with fig. 2. For ease of understanding, referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of triggering a virtual throwing prop prompting function according to an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in the drawings, specifically:

in step S1, a decision process for triggering a virtual throwing prop prompt function in a target game application is entered.

In step S2, it is determined whether the player holds the throwing control, if so, step S3 is executed, and if not, step S9 is skipped.

In step S3, a countdown of the virtual throwing prop explosion or the beginning of the corrosion is displayed on the interface of the target game application, and in addition, a throwing track of the virtual throwing prop is displayed.

In step S4, a prompt icon is displayed at the track drop point of the throwing track, and at this time, the prompt icon only displays a bottom plate pattern, for example, a red circle.

In step S5, at the same time, a flash loop animation of the cue icon is played on the interface of the target game application.

In step S6, the hint icon moves from the track drop point position of the throwing track to the track start point position along the throwing track, i.e. the hint icon moves reversely. When the prompt icon moves to the track starting point position, namely the countdown is finished, the virtual throwing prop can be directly detonated, or the virtual throwing prop starts to erode the virtual operation object.

In step S7, it is determined whether the duration of holding the throwing control by the player is greater than a duration threshold, for example, whether the duration of holding the throwing control by the player is greater than 4 seconds, if so, step S8 is entered, and if not more than 4 seconds, step S2 is skipped.

In step S8, a prompt icon is displayed on the throwing trace, and at this time, the prompt icon will display a throwing object icon or other pattern on the bottom board graph.

In step S9, the determination process for triggering the virtual throwing prop prompt function in the target game application is ended.

With reference to the foregoing description, a method for controlling a virtual prop in the present application will be described below, referring to fig. 3, and an embodiment of the method for controlling a virtual prop in an embodiment of the present application includes:

110. the terminal equipment displays a virtual operation object in the target game application, wherein the virtual operation object carries a virtual throwing prop;

in one or more embodiments, a terminal device is deployed with a game client that can run a targeted game application. A virtual operation object is displayed on an interface provided by the target game application, the virtual operation object carrying a virtual throwing prop, and the virtual operation object may hold the virtual throwing prop, or the virtual operation object may have the virtual throwing prop in a backpack.

Note that the target game application includes, but is not limited to, action game (ACT), shooting game (STG), fighting game (FTG), adventure game (AVG), role-playing game (RPG), and the like, and is not limited thereto. Virtual operation objects refer to game characters that a player controls. Virtual throwing props include, but are not limited to, explosives (e.g., smoke, grenades, and combustion bullets, etc.) and corrosives (e.g., corrosive liquid medicine).

120. When a first touch operation for a throwing control is detected, the terminal equipment controls a virtual operation object to enter a throwing preparation state, and displays a throwing track and a prompt icon positioned at a track drop point position, wherein the throwing track is a track which is sent from a track start point position where the virtual throwing prop is positioned to the track drop point position and used for previewing a throwing path;

in one or more embodiments, a throwing control is further displayed on an interface provided by the target game application, when a player presses the throwing control, a first touch operation for the throwing control is triggered, and therefore the terminal device controls the virtual operation object to enter a throwing preparation state, a throwing track and a prompt icon are displayed, and the prompt icon is located at a track drop point position at the initial moment of throwing. The throwing track is a track sent from a track starting point position where the virtual throwing prop is positioned to a track falling point position for previewing the throwing path, and the track starting point position is usually a position where the virtual operation object holds the virtual throwing track.

Specifically, for ease of understanding, referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of triggering a first touch operation in an embodiment of the present application, where A1 is used to indicate a virtual operation object entering a throwing ready state, A2 is used to indicate a virtual throwing prop, A3 is used to indicate a throwing track, A4 is used to indicate a prompt icon, and A5 is used to indicate a throwing control. When the player triggers the first touch operation (i.e., presses the throwing control indicated by A5), the prompt icon is displayed at the track drop point position of the throwing track.

130. When the first touch operation is continuously detected within the preset time, the terminal equipment controls the prompt icon to move from the track drop point position to the track start point position along the throwing track;

in one or more embodiments, if the player continues to press the throwing control, the terminal device may continue to detect the first touch operation of the player. Because different types of virtual throwing props often have different preset durations (e.g., preset explosion durations or preset corrosion durations), when a first touch operation is continuously detected within the preset duration, the terminal device controls the prompt icon to move from the track drop point position to the track start point position along the throwing track. If the first touch operation is continuously detected after the preset time length is exceeded, the virtual throwing prop can cause damage to the virtual operation object.

For illustration, refer to table 1, and table 1 is a schematic illustration of a mapping relationship between a virtual throwing prop and a preset time period.

TABLE 1

Virtual throwing prop	Type(s)	Preset time length
			Smoke bomb	Type of explosion	8 seconds
Small grenade	Type of explosion	4 seconds
			Medium-sized grenade	Type of explosion	8 seconds
Combustion bomb	Type of explosion	6 seconds
			Mild corrosion liquid medicine	Corrosion type	5 seconds
Liquid medicine for severe corrosion	Corrosion type	5 seconds

It can be appreciated that the explosion type virtual throwing prop does not throw within the preset time period, and then the explosion can be immediately performed, and the virtual operation object is damaged. The virtual throwing prop of the corrosion type is not thrown within the preset time, and the virtual operation object is continuously damaged.

Specifically, for ease of understanding, referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a throwing track and a prompt icon located at a drop point of the track, where B1 is used to indicate a virtual operation object, B2 is used to indicate a virtual throwing prop, B3 is used to indicate the throwing track, and B4 is used to indicate the prompt icon in the embodiment of the present application. Based on the above, when the terminal device continuously detects the first touch operation within the preset duration, the prompt icon can move from the track drop point position to the track start point position along the throwing track at a uniform speed. Illustratively, the prompt icon uniform movement rate is calculated as follows:

V＝L/T；

wherein V represents the uniform movement rate of the prompt icon, L represents the throwing track of the virtual throwing prop, and T represents the preset duration of the virtual throwing prop.

140. When the first touch operation is detected to be released within the preset time, the terminal equipment controls the virtual operation object to throw the virtual throwing prop.

In one or more embodiments, when the first touch operation is detected to be released within the preset time period, that is, the player is indicated to have thrown before the virtual throwing prop explodes or erodes, the terminal device controls the virtual operation object to throw the virtual throwing prop along the throwing track.

The embodiment of the application provides a control method for virtual props. By the mode, under the condition that the player presses the throwing control and does not throw the virtual throwing prop, a prompt icon is added to the track drop point position of the throwing track, and the prompt icon can reversely move along the existing throwing track, so that the explosion countdown of the virtual throwing prop of the player is prompted to be reduced. Based on the method, the design is performed by referring to the phenomenon that the ignition line is shorter and shorter along with combustion in reality, so that not only can the sense of urgency of the virtual throwing prop when the virtual throwing prop is close to explosion be vividly restored, but also the prompting property and the focusing degree are enhanced, and the probability of accidental injury can be reduced.

Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing respective embodiments corresponding to fig. 3, another optional embodiment provided by the embodiment of the present application may further include:

When the first touch operation is continuously detected within the preset time, the terminal equipment plays a target animation corresponding to the prompt icon;

and when the first touch operation is detected to be released within the preset time, stopping playing the target animation corresponding to the prompt icon by the terminal equipment.

In one or more embodiments, a manner of counting down an explosion based on a hint icon is presented. As can be seen from the foregoing embodiments, when the first touch operation is continuously detected within the preset duration, the terminal device controls the prompt icon to move from the track drop point position to the track start point position along the throwing track, and the moving process is a process of playing the target animation.

Specifically, the target animation includes, but is not limited to, color changing the prompt icon, graphic changing the prompt icon, scaling changing the prompt icon, saturation changing the prompt icon, and the like, which are not limited herein.

When the first touch operation is detected to be released within the preset duration, the terminal equipment controls the virtual operation object to throw the virtual throwing prop, so that the prompt icon moves reversely along the throwing track, namely, moves by taking the track drop point position as a starting point and takes the virtual operation object holding the virtual throwing prop as an end point. In addition, the terminal device also stops playing the target animation corresponding to the prompt icon.

Secondly, in the embodiment of the application, a manner of reminding explosion countdown based on the prompt icon is provided, by the manner, when a player presses a throwing control for a long time, a target animation of the prompt icon is played, and when the virtual throwing prop explodes or corrodes, the player can intuitively judge the explosion point or the starting corrosion time point of the virtual throwing prop through the effect of the target animation. Therefore, the system is not only richer in expression form, but also more complete in function transmission, and is more focused on interface layout, thereby achieving the purposes of effectiveness and easy understanding.

Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing respective embodiments corresponding to fig. 3, in another optional embodiment provided by the present application, the playing, by the terminal device, the target animation corresponding to the prompt icon may specifically include:

the terminal equipment alternately plays the prompt icons with the first image effect and the prompt icons with the second image effect at fixed frequency;

or the terminal equipment alternately plays the prompt icon with the first image effect and the prompt icon with the second image effect with dynamic frequency, wherein the dynamic frequency represents the frequency increasing with the duration;

or the terminal equipment plays a first animation corresponding to the prompt icon, wherein the first animation is an animation with the icon size of the prompt icon increasing along with the decrease of countdown;

Or the terminal equipment plays a second animation corresponding to the prompt icon, wherein the second animation is an animation that the color saturation of the prompt icon increases along with the decrease of countdown.

In one or more embodiments, a different manner of playing a hint icon is presented. As can be seen from the foregoing embodiments, when the first touch operation is continuously detected within the preset duration, the terminal device plays the target animation corresponding to the prompt icon, and the effects of the four target animations will be described below with reference to the examples.

1. Alternately playing the prompt icons corresponding to different image effects at a fixed frequency;

specifically, for ease of understanding, referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic interface diagram of playing an animation corresponding to a target of a prompt icon according to an embodiment of the present application, where the prompt icon moves from a track drop point position to a track start point position along a throwing track at a fixed flashing frequency. For example, 1 st second shows a hint map with a first image effect, 2 nd second shows a hint map with a second image effect, 3 rd second shows a hint map with a first image effect, 4 th second shows a hint map with a second image effect, and so on.

Illustratively, taking fig. 6 as an example, the cue icon of the first image effect may be a cue icon of a black backplane, and the cue icon of the second image effect may be a cue icon of a white backplane.

Specifically, for ease of understanding, referring to fig. 11, fig. 11 is another schematic diagram of a throwing track and a prompt icon located at a drop point of the track according to an embodiment of the present application, where D1 is used to indicate a first prompt icon (e.g., a floor icon) and D2 is used to indicate a second prompt icon (e.g., a throwing object icon). Assuming that the preset duration is 8 seconds, the first preset sub-duration is a duration of time from 0 th second to 4 th second, and the second preset sub-duration is a duration of time from 4 th second to 8 th second, wherein a starting time of the second preset sub-duration is later than an ending time of the first preset sub-duration. Based on the first prompt icon, the terminal device displays the first prompt icon indicated by D1 when the player continuously triggers the first touch operation within the first preset sub-duration. And when the player continuously triggers the first touch operation within the first preset sub-duration, the terminal equipment displays a first prompt icon indicated by D1. And when the player continuously triggers the first touch operation within the second preset sub-duration, the terminal equipment displays a second prompt icon indicated by D2. It should be noted that, taking the above example as an example, the terminal device switches the first prompt icon to the second prompt icon at the time of 4 th second.

If the terminal equipment does not detect that the first touch operation is released within the preset time, the virtual operation object is damaged due to the virtual throwing prop under the condition that the target damage value is smaller than the residual life value of the virtual operation object. Illustratively, the remaining life value of the virtual operation object after updating is 200.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, a processing manner after the virtual throwing prop is exploded is provided, by which if the player does not end the first touch operation within the preset duration, the virtual throwing prop may explode, and damage the virtual operation object itself. Considering that different types of virtual throwing props often have different target injury values, it is further required to determine whether the target injury value is greater than or equal to a remaining life value of the virtual operation object, and determine whether the virtual operation object can survive based on the remaining life value, so that not only is the diversity of playing methods increased, but also the rationality of the playing methods can be improved, and the situation that the game is terminated due to one error is avoided.

Assuming that the current remaining life value of the virtual operation object is 800, after 1 second has elapsed, the remaining life value of the virtual operation object is 500 as shown in fig. 21 (B). Similarly, after 1 second more, the remaining life value of the virtual operation object is 200.

Secondly, in the embodiment of the application, a reminding mode based on the corrosion type virtual throwing prop is provided, by adopting the mode, the corrosion type virtual throwing prop is used as the prop with persistent damage to the virtual operation object, and based on the mode, the diversity and the richness of the playing method can be increased, and the playing method is closer to the real world.

if the first touch operation is not detected to be released within the preset time period and the virtual operation object uses the virtual protection prop, the terminal equipment displays a life value of the virtual operation object continuously reduced at a second rate, wherein the second rate is lower than the first rate.

In one or more embodiments, a manner of protecting a corrosive-like virtual throwing prop is presented. As can be seen from the foregoing examples, the virtual throwing prop may be an erosion type prop, which has a sustained injury value. And if the terminal equipment does not detect that the first touch operation is released within the preset time, controlling the virtual throwing prop to start to corrode. But the rate of corrosion is affected by the virtual protection props, which can reduce the rate of corrosion. The virtual protection props include, but are not limited to, "armor" and "glove".

Specifically, for ease of understanding, referring to fig. 22, fig. 22 is an interface diagram showing a life value continuously decreasing at a second rate in the embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 22 (a), it is assumed that the continuous damage value of the virtual throwing prop is 300/sec, i.e., the first rate is 300/sec. Assuming that the current remaining life value of the virtual operation object is 800, the corrosion protection rate of the virtual protection prop is 200/second, that is, the second rate is 200/second. After 1 second has elapsed, as shown in fig. 22 (B), the remaining life value of the virtual operation object is 700. Similarly, after 1 second more, the remaining life value of the virtual operation object is 600.

In the embodiment of the application, a mode for protecting the corrosion type virtual throwing prop is provided, and by the mode, a player can wear the virtual protecting prop for the virtual operation object, so that the sustainable damage of the corrosion type virtual throwing prop to the virtual operation object is reduced, the diversity and the richness of playing methods are further increased based on the sustainable damage, and the playing methods are closer to the real world.

when the contact point of the second touch operation is detected to slide to the first area, the terminal equipment switches the throwing mode of the virtual throwing prop into a first throwing mode, and when the first touch operation is detected to be released within the preset time length, the terminal equipment controls the virtual operation object to throw the virtual throwing prop according to the first throwing mode;

when the contact point of the second touch operation is detected to slide to the second area, the terminal equipment switches the throwing mode of the virtual throwing prop into a second throwing mode, and when the first touch operation is detected to be released within the preset time, the terminal equipment controls the virtual operation object to throw the virtual throwing prop according to the second throwing mode, wherein the second throwing mode has different throwing heights from the first throwing mode.

In one or more embodiments, a manner of achieving high or low polishing with a second touch operation is described. From the foregoing embodiments, it is apparent that not only a pitch control but also a direction control are provided on the interface of the target game application. And triggering a second touch operation when the player clicks or presses the sliding direction control for a long time. The position of the second touch operation contact can determine the throwing mode of the virtual throwing prop.

Specifically, for ease of understanding, referring to fig. 23, fig. 23 is an interface diagram of a switching throwing mode according to an embodiment of the present application, where G1 is used to indicate a first area (i.e., an upper semicircle in fig. 23), and G2 is used to indicate a second area (i.e., a lower semicircle in fig. 23). For example, when the terminal device detects that the contact point of the second touch operation slides to the first area indicated by G1, the throwing mode of the virtual throwing prop is switched to the first throwing mode, for example, the first throwing mode may be "high throwing". Based on the above, when the first touch operation is detected to be released within the preset time, the terminal device controls the virtual operation object to throw the virtual throwing prop according to the first throwing mode.

For example, when the terminal device detects that the contact point of the second touch operation slides to the second area indicated by G2, the throwing mode of the virtual throwing prop is switched to the second throwing mode, for example, the second throwing mode may be "low throwing". Based on the above, when the first touch operation is detected to be released within the preset time, the terminal device controls the virtual operation object to throw the virtual throwing prop according to the second throwing mode.

It will be appreciated that in another design, G1 is used to indicate the second region and G2 is used to indicate the first region. It will be appreciated that in another design, the first mode of throwing may be a "low throw" and the second mode of throwing may be a "high throw".

In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, a mode of implementing high-throwing or low-throwing by using a second touch operation is provided, by which a player can also switch different throwing modes, that is, need not to cancel a current throwing mode and switch to another throwing mode after switching one throwing mode. Based on the method, on one hand, the seamless switching effect can be achieved, on the other hand, the operation difficulty of a player is reduced, and the operation efficiency is improved.

when the contact point of the first touch operation is detected to slide to a preset area, the terminal equipment controls the virtual operation object to enter a non-throwing state, and the throwing track and the prompt icon are canceled from being displayed.

In one or more embodiments, a manner in which a player cancels a first touch operation is described. As can be seen from the foregoing embodiments, a throwing control is provided on the interface of the target game application, and when the player clicks or presses the sliding throwing control for a long time, the first touch operation is triggered. In some cases, however, the player needs to cancel the throwing operation, based on which the position of the first touch operation contact can decide whether to continue the throwing operation.

Specifically, for ease of understanding, referring to fig. 24, fig. 24 is a schematic diagram of an interface for canceling display of a throwing track and a prompt icon in an embodiment of the present application, where H1 is shown to indicate cancellation of a control, and a preset area is an area where a non-throwing control is located. When the terminal equipment detects that the contact point of the first touch operation slides to a preset area, the position of the contact point displays a cancel control indicated by H1, and when the first touch operation is released (i.e. the finger is released), the terminal equipment controls the virtual operation object to enter a non-throwing state, and the throwing track and the prompt icon are canceled to be displayed.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, a manner is provided in which the player cancels the first touch operation, by which the player can also control the virtual operation object to enter the non-throwing state, and based on this, the player can avoid the situation that the virtual throwing prop is thrown due to misoperation of the player, that is, the player can flexibly control whether the virtual operation object needs to enter the non-throwing state, thereby improving flexibility and operability of game operation.

Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing respective embodiments corresponding to fig. 3, in another optional embodiment provided by the present application, after the terminal device controls the virtual operation object to throw the virtual throwing prop, the method may further include:

the terminal device cancels the display of the throwing track and the prompt icon in the target game application.

In one or more embodiments, a manner is described by which to cancel the associated prompts on the display interface after the throwing is completed. As can be seen from the foregoing embodiments, when the first touch operation is detected to be released within the preset time period, the virtual operation object is controlled to throw the virtual throwing prop. After the throwing is finished, the throwing track and the prompt icon on the throwing track are canceled from being displayed in the target game application.

Specifically, after the virtual operation object finishes throwing, if the player triggers the first touch operation on the throwing control again, the terminal device will control the virtual operation object to enter a throwing ready state again, and display a throwing track and a prompt icon located at the track drop point position. Similarly, as the player continues to press the throwing control, the hint icon continues to move from the track drop point position along the throwing track to the track start point position until the player releases the throwing control, whereupon the virtual operating object throws the virtual throwing prop again.

In the embodiment of the application, a mode of canceling the related prompt on the display interface after the throwing is finished is provided, by the mode, after the virtual operation object finishes the throwing action, the throwing track and the prompt icon on the display interface are canceled, and the virtual operation object is controlled to enter a non-throwing state, so that the switching of the throwing state is realized, and the feasibility and the operability of the scheme are improved.
