Detailed Description

To make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, embodiments of the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, terms referred to in the embodiments of the present application are briefly described:

tactical sports (Battle royal, BR) game: the virtual role is placed in a virtual environment, a series of escape rules are provided, and after a user sets an escape strategy according to the escape rules, the virtual role in the game is controlled to realize escape.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the escape rule provided by the BR game at least includes: birth rules, safety zone rules, additional identity rules, observation rules and escape rules.

The four rules are explained separately:

first, birth rules

The birth rule is used for representing the determining mode of the position of the virtual character after the virtual character enters the game. Optionally, the virtual environment corresponds to a map, n preset positions in the map correspond to n birth points, the user may select any one of the n birth points when the game play starts, and after the game play starts, the initial position of the virtual character controlled by the user is the position corresponding to the selected birth point. Optionally, the candidate birth points provided in each pair may be the n birth points, or some of the n birth points, such as: and m birth points are determined from the n birth points to be used as selectable birth points of the current game, and the user selects any one of the m birth points, wherein m is more than 0 and less than n. Optionally, the area formed by connecting the m birth points is displayed as a bar-shaped area in the map corresponding to the virtual environment, optionally, the birth point of the starting position of the bar-shaped area is closest to the first side of the map, the birth point of the ending position of the bar-shaped area is closest to the second side of the map, and the first side and the second side are two opposite sides.

Illustratively, 31 positions in the map correspond to 31 birth points, and 8 birth points are determined in a single session, as shown in fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a birth point selection process provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 1, a map corresponding to a virtual environment shows 31 birth points 110, and according to a current session, 8 birth points 120 in a bar-shaped area are randomly determined as birth points of virtual roles selectable by a user in the current session.

It is noted that the bar-shaped area is used for gathering the virtual objects participating in the game in the bar-shaped area at the beginning of the game, and controlling the virtual objects to move to the security area in a relatively consistent path along with the refreshing side of the security area. It should be noted that the stripe regions may also be implemented as regions with other shapes, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

Second, safety zone rules

In the escape process, the virtual character is influenced by environmental factors in the virtual environment and needs to be moved to a safe area so as to prevent the environmental factors in the dangerous area from gradually reducing the life value of the virtual character until the virtual character is eliminated. Optionally, the security zone may be refreshed according to the game progress, may also be refreshed according to the use of the game props by the user, and may also be refreshed according to the use of the skill by the user, wherein the refresh process corresponds to the characteristics of the refresh rate, the refresh range, the refresh interval duration, and the like. Optionally, during the refresh process, the secure area is gradually reduced from a first area with a larger range to a second area with a smaller range, and the second area is a sub-area in the first area, that is, the refresh process is a process of gradually reducing the secure area from an edge of the first area to a second area determined inside the first area. The refreshing speed is used for indicating the time length for the first area to be reduced to the second area, and the refreshing time length can be fixed or can be correspondingly prolonged or shortened according to the use of props or skills by a user; the refreshing range is used for representing the range of the refreshed second region in the virtual environment, and the refreshing range can be preset and can also be increased or decreased according to the use of props or skills by a user; the refresh interval duration is used for representing the interval duration between two adjacent safety zone refresh events, and the refresh interval duration can be fixed duration, and can also be prolonged or shortened according to the use of props or skills by a user.

The first region may be a regular-shaped region or an irregular-shaped region; the second region may be a region of a regular shape within the first region, or may be a region of an irregular shape within the first region. Optionally, the virtual environment is divided by squares with a preset size in a map corresponding to the virtual environment, for example: each square corresponds to an area of 100 × 100 size in the virtual environment, and the refreshing of the secure area may be performed in units of square refreshing, such as: the first area occupies 6400 interconnected squares with irregular outlines, and the second area occupies 3800 interconnected squares in the 6400 squares.

Optionally, in the process of determining the security zone, first determining an area with a preset size and a preset shape in the virtual environment as a first security zone obtained by final refresh, generating a second security zone surrounding the first security zone on the basis of the first security zone, generating a third security zone surrounding the second security zone on the basis of the second security zone, and so on, determining to obtain the refresh between two adjacent security zones according to the refresh times of the security zones, such as: if the security zone needs to be refreshed for 4 times, the first security zone is refreshed from the maximum virtual environment range to obtain a fourth security zone, the second security zone is refreshed from the fourth security zone to obtain a third security zone, the third security zone is refreshed from the third security zone to obtain a second security zone, and the fourth security zone is refreshed from the second security zone to obtain the first security zone.

The description will be given by taking the example of performing the first security zone refresh within the maximum virtual environment range, where the maximum virtual environment range is a square range, at least one refresh point is randomly determined on four sides of the square range, and in the refresh process, the refresh points on each side are gradually refreshed within the square range until the fourth security zone is obtained by refresh.

Optionally, the virtual character can also create a danger zone with a preset size at any position in the current safety zone through props or skills. Illustratively, after the virtual character a acquires the prop drilling rig, the drilling rig is used at a first position of a current safety zone in the virtual environment, and then a danger zone with a preset shape and a preset size is generated in the safety zone by taking the first position as an initial position.

Third, add the identity rule

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the escape rules provided in the BR game further include rules corresponding to additional identities of virtual characters, and when the virtual characters escape in the virtual environment, the virtual characters have different skills and different visual contents corresponding to different additional identities. Alternatively, the additional identity may be randomly assigned by the server to the virtual character in the play before the play of the BR game is started, or the user may select from the additional identities randomly assigned by the server after the matching is successful. Optionally, when the additional identity is randomly allocated by the server, the server allocates the additional identity to the virtual role in the opposite office according to a preset proportion, for example: the preset ratio of the first additional identity, the second additional identity and the third additional identity is 7: 2: 1, when 100 virtual roles are paired in a office, allocating a first additional identity to 70 virtual roles, allocating a second additional identity to 20 virtual roles, and allocating a third additional identity to 10 virtual roles; optionally, when the additional identity is selected by the user, the server controls the number of virtual characters for each additional identity in the bureau to be maintained at a preset ratio, such as: the preset ratio of the first additional identity, the second additional identity and the third additional identity is 7: 2: 1, for 100 virtual roles in the office, when the virtual role of the first additional identity is selected to reach 70, the server prompts the first additional identity as the non-selectable additional identity.

Optionally, in the BR game provided in this embodiment of the present application, at least three additional identities are provided, and each additional identity corresponds to a corresponding skill set. Illustratively, a first additional identity, a second additional identity and a third additional identity are provided in the BR game, wherein the first additional identity corresponds to a first skill set, the second additional identity corresponds to a second skill set, and the third additional identity corresponds to a third skill set, wherein there may be an intersection between the first skill set, the second skill set and the third skill set, that is, there may be a target skill, belonging to at least two of the first skill set, the second skill set and the third skill set. Optionally, each skill set further includes a respective corresponding independent skill, that is, the first skill set includes a first skill, and the first skill does not belong to the second skill set nor the third skill set; the second skill set comprises a second skill, the second skill neither belonging to the first skill set nor to the third skill set; a third skill is included in the third skill set, the third skill belonging to neither the first skill set nor the second skill set.

Illustratively, the above three additional identities are taken as examples, and in the BR game of the embodiment of the present application, each additional identity corresponds to at least one specific skill. Schematically, the independent skills for each additional identity are separately illustrated:

a first additional identity (destroyer additional identity) whose corresponding first skill comprises: visible to a destroyer treasure box in the virtual environment, there are provided three props available to virtual characters of only the additional identity of the destroyer, including: 1. a annunciator; 2. a seismograph; 3. a drilling rig, wherein an annunciator is used to obtain an additional equipment reward, illustratively, the annunciator user summons a higher-rated prop (e.g., helmet, armor, backpack, etc.) and/or the annunciator is used to summon a more comprehensive lethally-effective weapon; the seismograph is used for changing the refreshing progress of the safety zone, illustratively, when the virtual object is used for the seismograph between two safety zone refreshing events, the time interval between the two refreshing events is correspondingly reduced by preset time length, such as: the current safety zone starts to be refreshed to the next safety zone after 20 seconds, and when the virtual object is used for the seismograph, the current safety zone starts to be refreshed to the next safety zone after 10 seconds; the drilling rig is used to create a safety zone of a preset size. Illustratively, after the virtual character a acquires the prop drilling rig, the drilling rig is used at a first position of a current safety zone in the virtual environment, and then a danger zone with a preset shape and a preset size is generated in the safety zone by taking the first position as an initial position.

A second additional identity (hunter additional identity) corresponding to a second skill comprising: and marking the positions of other virtual characters around the position of the virtual character in the map by triggering the props. Optionally, the map divides the virtual environment by squares with a preset size, and when the virtual character triggers the prop, the positions of the virtual character in 9 squares on the periphery of the squares (including the squares) are marked in the map by taking the square where the virtual character is located in the map as a center square.

Schematically, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a skill demonstration manner of a third observation skill provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 2, a map 200 of a virtual environment divides the virtual environment by squares of a preset size, a current target virtual character is located in the squares as shown in fig. 2, when the target virtual character triggers the third observation skill, the distribution of virtual characters in 9 squares (shown as 9 squares in a dashed line frame in fig. 2) on the peripheral side of the squares 210 (including the squares 210) is determined by taking the squares 210 as a center, and corresponding coordinates in the map are marked according to the location of each virtual character, as shown as marks 220 in fig. 2.

Alternatively, after the hunter marks the positions of the virtual characters in 9 squares on the periphery of the squares (including the squares) in the map, when a killing event (a killer kills the victim) occurs between the hunter and the marked virtual characters, the killer obtains a corresponding gain, such as: increase the blood returning speed, increase the moving speed, and the like.

A third additional identity (seeker additional identity) corresponding to a third skill comprising: when the virtual roles maintain lives in the virtual environment and collect the target props to reach the preset number, calling the escape props, and determining to acquire the virtual roles of the escape props or acquiring the virtual roles of the escape props and the escape success of teammates thereof.

Fourth, observe the rule

Optionally, in the BR game according to this embodiment of the present application, at least three special viewing skills are provided, and before starting a game play, a user selects any one of the at least three special viewing skills as a special viewing skill for a master virtual character controlled by the user to view a virtual environment in the game play. Schematically, three observation skills are taken as examples, and the three special observation skills are respectively explained:

first observation skill (hawk overlook): the virtual environment is observed through the first prop at a view angle, namely after the first prop (such as a virtual bird) is triggered, the first prop rises to a preset height in the air of the virtual environment, and the virtual character observes the virtual environment through the first prop at the height. Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a process schematic diagram of an observation perspective conversion method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 3, a virtual environment is observed at a first perspective of a virtual character 300, an observation screen 310 includes an object 311 and a hill 312 in the virtual environment, when a user triggers a first prop 320 through an external input device (e.g., presses an R key on a keyboard), the virtual environment is observed by the first prop 320 rising to a preset height of the virtual environment, and the observation screen 330 includes the object 311, the hill 312 and an object 313 on the other side of the hill 312.

Second viewing skill (footprint tracking): after the virtual character triggers the skill, the step of the virtual character in the peripheral area of the virtual environment is displayed in the game interface, and the step is used for indicating the traveling direction of the virtual character passing through the area within a preset time length (note that, when the virtual character travels in a reverse mode in the area, the traveling direction indicated by the step is opposite to the actual traveling direction of the virtual character).

Third viewing skill (spar probe): the weapon spar within the preset range with the position of the virtual character as the center is observed by triggering the detection prop, optionally, the weapon spar is a mark attached to a weapon (the weapon spar can be alternatively realized as a weapon map, a weapon accessory and the like), optionally, the weapon can be a weapon held by the virtual character, and also can be a weapon to be picked up and placed on the ground of the virtual environment, optionally, when the virtual character triggers the second observation skill, other virtual articles in the virtual environment observed by the virtual character are displayed in certain gray scale and transparency, and the weapon spar is displayed in certain brightness through other virtual articles (such as walls, hillsides, floors and the like). Optionally, when the prop is triggered to observe the weapon spar, the observation range takes the position where the virtual character is located as the center, and the weapon spar in the observation range is highlighted by the spherical observation range with the preset radius.

Fifth, rule of escape

Optionally, the escape rules for different additional identities may be the same or different, and the same set of unified escape rules may be used for all additional identities, and a set of additional escape rules may be used for a specific additional identity. Schematically, 1, aiming at all virtual roles, when the virtual roles maintain lives to a final safety zone and obtain the escape prop, determining to obtain the virtual role of the escape prop, or obtaining the virtual role of the escape prop and the escape success of teammates thereof; 2. aiming at the virtual roles of the target additional identity (the additional identity of the searcher in the additional identity rule), when the virtual roles maintain lives in the virtual environment and collect the target props to reach the preset number, the escape props are called, and the virtual roles of the escape props are determined to be obtained, or the virtual roles of the escape props and the teammates of the escape props are obtained to be successfully escaped. It should be noted that, when the escape is performed in the above manner 2, the total number of the target properties in the virtual environment is a preset number, and the preset number is used to control the number of the virtual characters of the target additional identity of the escape in the manner 2, such as: optionally, the BR game prompts the virtual roles with the target additional identities in real time for the remaining number and/or positions of the target properties which are not obtained by the virtual roles, and when the sum of the number of the target properties held by the virtual roles and the remaining number does not reach the required number for calling the escape properties, the virtual roles switch to a fighting strategy to escape in the method 1.

The above mode 1 and mode 2 are two schemes that exist in parallel, that is, for a virtual character with a target additional identity, the escape can be successful through the mode 1 or the escape can be successful through the mode 2, but the virtual character with the target additional identity does not need to continuously meet the escape requirement corresponding to the mode 2 after the escape is successful through the mode 1, or the virtual character with the target additional identity does not need to continuously meet the escape requirement corresponding to the mode 1 after the escape is successful through the mode 2. Optionally, the target prop in the above mode 2 is a prop that is visible in the virtual environment by the target virtual character with the additional identity, that is, the target prop is invisible in the virtual environment by the virtual character with the additional identity.

Optionally, the virtual roles display different game results after escaping in different ways, and optionally, when the virtual role of the target additional identity corresponds to an additional escape rule and the escape succeeds according to the escape rule, the virtual role of the target additional identity displays an additional display result according to the additional escape rule. Illustratively, after the virtual character escapes through the first escape rule, a result interface of the game shows that "you like you get a successful escape to obtain a first name", and a result interface of the game shows that "you like you get a second name" when the virtual character still has a life value in the virtual environment; when the virtual character of the target additional identity escapes through the second escape rule, and the virtual character of the target additional identity is the first virtual character escaping through the second escape rule in the virtual environment, displaying that 'Maotai you become the first name of the target additional identity and the escape is successful' on the result interface of matching, displaying that 'Maotai you become the second name of the target additional identity and the escape is successful' on the result interface of matching aiming at the second virtual character escaping through the second escape rule in the virtual environment, and so on.
