The process of transferring to the RAM 23 is performed.

[Attitude control processing]
Next, an example of the attitude control process according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the attitude control process according to the embodiment. The action of the player character PC and the action of the object Ob are drawn in the virtual space according to the input operation by the CPU 21 executing the action control program 30. The posture control process according to the present embodiment is appropriately executed according to the action of the player character PC and the action of the object Ob during the progress of the game.

  Among the objects Ob described above, the large object OB is the target of the player character PC below. In the present embodiment, the large object OB refers to an object having a size in which the entire object cannot be displayed on the screen when displayed at a distance that allows a predetermined action such as an attack from the player character PC in the virtual space.

  When this process is started, the display unit 18 displays the player character PC and the large object OB (step S10). Next, the determination unit 12 determines whether the large object OB is at an attackable distance from the player character PC (step S12).

  For example, when the determination unit 12 determines that the distance P1 between the player character PC and the large object OB illustrated in FIG. 4A is not a distance at which the large object OB can be attacked, the motion control unit 15 inputs the player The normal movement between the player character PC and the large object OB is controlled according to the operation (step S32). And it returns to the process which displays the player character PC and large object OB which operate | move according to a player's input operation (step S10).

  Accordingly, when the determination unit 12 determines that the distance P2 between the player character PC and the large object OB illustrated in FIG. 4B is a distance at which the large object OB can be attacked, the determination unit 12 sets the target position of the large object OB. It is determined whether a marker can be displayed (step S14).

  Here, the target position of the large object OB is a position that is a final target determined for each large object OB. In this embodiment, the top of the large object OB is the target position. However, the target position of the large object OB is not limited to this, and may be, for example, the face, eyes, nose, nape, back of the large object OB, and the like.

  In FIG. 4A, the top of the large object OB is not displayed in the display. Therefore, the determination unit 12 determines that it is impossible to display a marker at the target position of the large object OB, and determines whether the marker can be displayed at a specific part of the large object OB (step S20). The specific part of the large object OB refers to a part capable of changing the posture of the large object OB. In the present embodiment, the knee and elbow of the large object OB are at specific positions. However, the specific position of the large object OB is not limited to this, and may be, for example, an inseam, an ankle, or the like.

  In step S20, when the determination unit 12 determines that marker display of a specific part of the large object OB is impossible, the motion control unit 15 determines the player character PC and the large object OB according to the player's input operation. Is controlled (step S32). And it returns to the process which displays the player character PC and large object OB which operate | move according to a player's input operation (step S10).

  On the other hand, when the determination unit 12 determines in step S20 that the marker of the specific part of the large object OB can be displayed, the display unit 18 displays the marker of the specific part of the large object OB (step S22). . Thereby, as shown in FIG.4 (b), marker My is displayed on the specific site | part of large object OB. The display form (color, shape, line type, presence / absence of blinking, etc.) of the marker My is not limited to the example shown in FIG.

  Next, the determination part 12 determines whether the attack to the specific part was successful by operation | movement of player character PC (step S24). When the determination unit 12 determines that the attack to the specific part has not been successful, the motion control unit 15 controls the motion of the player character PC and the large object OB according to the player's input operation (step S32). . And it returns to the process which displays the player character PC and large object OB which operate | move according to a player's input operation (step S10).

  On the other hand, when it determines with the determination part 12 having succeeded in the attack to a specific site | part, it determines whether the specific site | part was damaged (step S26). When the determination unit 12 determines that the specific part has not been damaged, the motion control unit 15 controls the motion of the player character PC and the large object OB in accordance with the player's input operation (step S32). And it returns to the process which displays the player character PC and large object OB which operate | move according to a player's input operation (step S10).

  On the other hand, when the determination unit 12 determines that the specific part is damaged, the posture detection unit 14 detects a change in the posture of the large object OB (step S28). For example, when the knee My is damaged as an example of a specific part of the large object OB by the attack of the player character PC in FIG. 5A, the posture of the large object OB changes as shown in FIG. 5B. To do. At this time, the posture detection unit 14 detects that the posture of the large object OB has changed from the state in which the large object OB is standing to the state in which the knee is attached.

  Next, the motion control unit 15 controls the motion of the player character PC and the large object OB in accordance with the change in posture (step S30), returns to step S10, and performs the processes of steps S10, S12, and S14. .

  If the determination unit 12 determines in step S14 that it is impossible to display a marker at the target position of the large object OB, the marker Mr indicating the target position in FIG. A marker My is displayed on the elbow which is an example of a specific part. At this time, when the elbow specified by the marker My is damaged by the attack of the player character PC, the posture of the large object OB further changes as shown in FIG.

  When the distance P3 between the player character PC in FIG. 5B and the top of the large object OB or the distance P4 between the player character PC in FIG. 6A and the top of the large object OB is an attackable distance. If it is determined in step S14 that the marker can be displayed at the target position of the large object OB, the display unit 18 displays the target marker on the top of the large object OB, which is an example of the target position. Mr is displayed (step S16). At this time, the marker Mr displayed at the target position may be the same as the marker My displayed at a specific site, or may have a different color, shape, or the like.

  Next, the determination unit 12 determines whether the attack to the target position by the player character PC is successful (step S18). When it is determined that the attack on the target position of the large object OB is successful, an image after the attack is displayed as shown in FIG. 6B, and this process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the attack on the target position has not been successful, the process returns to step S20, and the processes after step S20 are repeated.

  When the player character PC attacks a specific part or target position, when the player presses the operation button 2 of the controller 1, a bullet is released from the player character PC toward the position of the marker My or the marker Mr. The large object OB can be attacked.

  As described above, according to the posture motion control method according to the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the player character PC has performed an attack motion against a specific part of the large object OB. Then, a change in the posture of the large object OB is detected according to the determination result, and the display of the large object OB can be changed according to the detected change in the posture of the large object OB.

  Thus, according to the detected change in the posture of the large object OB, the portion of the large object OB that has not been displayed before the posture is changed can be displayed. For example, according to the detected change in the posture of the large object OB, the target position of the large object OB that has not been displayed before the posture is changed can be displayed. Further, for example, the entire large object OB (including the target position) of the large object OB can be displayed in accordance with the detected change in the posture of the large object OB.

  In the present embodiment, whether or not to display the target position of the large object OB is determined according to the relative distance between the player character PC and the large object OB. For example, the relative position of the player character PC with respect to the large object OB is a distance at which the large object OB can be attacked. is there. In that case, if the player character PC attacks a specific part of the large object OB and the part is damaged, the posture of the large object OB changes. Accordingly, the position of the target such as the top of the large object OB that is not displayed when the large object OB is standing can be displayed.

  In the present embodiment, the case where a specific part is damaged by the attack of the player character PC has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is only necessary that a predetermined action is exerted on a specific part such as the specific part being bent by the attack of the player character PC.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the operation of releasing a bullet from a gun at a target position or a specific position as an attack of the player character PC according to the player's input operation has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and an action such as releasing a sword or an arrow toward a target position or a specific position or hitting with a fist may be performed as an attack of the player character PC.

  In addition, for example, in response to an input operation by the player, even if an operation of injecting a wire of the player character PC toward the target position or a specific position and fixing the wire at the target position and the specific part is performed. Good.

  The predetermined action applied to the target position and the specific part may not be an attack by the player character PC. For example, the action of the target character and a specific part may be healed by the action of the player character PC, or some other action may be used.

  The size of the large object OB may be fixed or variable depending on the background to be displayed. For example, the size of the large object OB may be displayed larger when the operation speed of the large object OB is fast than when the operation speed is slow.

  As described above, the information processing device, the posture motion control method, and the posture control program have been described in the above embodiment. However, the information processing device, the posture motion control method, and the posture control program according to the present invention are not limited to the above embodiment. Various modifications and improvements are possible within the scope of the present invention. In addition, when there are a plurality of the above-described embodiments and modifications, they can be combined within a consistent range.

  For example, when the game provided by the information processing apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment is a game in a three-dimensional virtual space, the player character PC and the object Ob (including the large object OB) correspond to the three-dimensional object. It becomes. When the game provided by the information processing apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment is a game in a two-dimensional virtual space, the player character PC and the object Ob become a two-dimensional object accordingly.
