In the process of displaying the virtual scene, the capacitive touch system 150 may detect a touch operation performed when the user interacts with the virtual scene.

The virtual scene may be a three-dimensional virtual scene, or the virtual scene may also be a two-dimensional virtual scene. Taking the virtual scene as a three-dimensional virtual scene as an example, please refer to fig. 2, which shows a scene picture schematic diagram of the virtual scene provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present application.

Referring to fig. 3, a flowchart of an object hinting method in a virtual scene according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. The object prompting method may be executed by a terminal, where the terminal may be the terminal shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 3, the object prompting method in the virtual scene includes the following steps:

step 310, displaying a display interface of an application program, wherein the display interface comprises a scene picture of a virtual scene; the virtual scene comprises a target area, wherein the target area is a space area which shields the sight line and has no collision volume; the display interface is superposed with and displayed with a sight bead pattern.

Optionally, the display interface of the application program may be a display interface displayed in a first-person perspective.

Taking a display interface displayed from a first-person perspective as an example, please refer to fig. 4, and fig. 4 shows an interface diagram of an object prompting method in a virtual scene according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 4, the display interface at least includes a virtual object 410, a virtual object 420, a target area 430 and a sight pattern 440, wherein the virtual object 410 is a shooting source and the virtual object 420 is a shooting target.

Please refer to fig. 5, and fig. 5 shows an interface diagram of an object prompting method in a virtual scene according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 5, the display interface at least includes a virtual object 510, a virtual object 520, and a target area 530, wherein the virtual object 510 is a shooting source and the virtual object 520 is a shooting target.

The target area plays a role in shielding a sight line, and the sight line of the virtual object cannot pass through the target area, that is, the virtual object located on one side of the target area or in the target area cannot directly observe a picture in the target area or on the other side of the target area.

Furthermore, the target region is a spatial region of the collision-free volume, i.e. a virtual object can traverse the target region without obstacles.

In one possible approach, the target area may be a smoke area.

In step 320, a first position and a second position are obtained, wherein the first position is a position of a first virtual object controlled by the terminal, and the second position is a position of a second virtual object except the first virtual object in the virtual scene.

As shown in fig. 4, the first position is a position of the virtual object 410, which is an object controlled by the current terminal, and the virtual object 410 is a shooting source, the second position is a position of the virtual object 420, and the virtual object 420 is a shooting target of the virtual object 410. The number of virtual objects 420 is at least 1.

In the embodiments of the present application, the present application is described by taking one shooting source and one shooting target as an example.

And step 330, when the connecting line between the first position and the second position passes through the target area, shielding an object prompting function, wherein the object prompting function is used for prompting that other virtual objects except the first virtual object exist in the direction pointed by the sight bead pattern.

Optionally, when the connection line between the first location and the second location does not pass through the target area, the terminal may enable an object prompt function.

In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 4, the line connecting the first position and the second position passes through the target area means that a line segment connecting the shooting source 410 as a starting point and the shooting target 430 as an ending point passes through the target area 430.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 4, in the interface displayed by the application program, the irregular target area that can be observed by the user is the area 450, the area 450 is the effect of art rendering, and the generation, disappearance and judgment of the target area depend on the computer program to calculate the defined range, i.e., the effective target area 430. The target areas referred to in this application are all valid target areas, namely target area 430.

In this embodiment, optionally, the object prompt function may be that the color of the quasi-star pattern is changed, the shape of the quasi-star pattern is changed, the size of the quasi-star pattern is changed, and the like.

In summary, the object prompt method in the virtual scene provided in the embodiment of the present application obtains the position information of the virtual object as the shooting source and the virtual object as the shooting target through the display interface of the display application, and shields the object prompt function when the connection line between the shooting source and the shooting target passes through the target area. By the method, the starting states of the prompt function are different under different conditions, the object prompt function is ensured, and the interface display effect of the virtual scene with the object prompt function and the smoke area is improved.

Referring to fig. 6, a flowchart of an object hinting method in a virtual scene according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. The object prompting method may be executed by a terminal, where the terminal may be the terminal shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 6, the object prompting method in the virtual scene includes the following steps:

step 6010, displaying a display interface of the application program, where the display interface includes a scene picture of a virtual scene; the virtual scene comprises a target area, wherein the target area is a space area which shields the sight line and has no collision volume; the display interface is superposed with and displayed with a sight bead pattern.

The display scenario to which the application is directed may be the display scenario as shown in fig. 4 or fig. 5.

Optionally, the target area is a smoke area formed by the smoke prop in the virtual scene when used.

For example, in the display scene shown in fig. 4, the smoke region is the target region 430.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the range of the smoke region is approximately a sphere centered on the trigger position of the smoke prop, that is, the center of the detonation point of the smoke prop.

The diffusion direction, the diffusion area and the diffusion shape of the smoke region are controlled according to preset control logic, and optionally, according to the shapes of different smoke regions, the range of the smoke region can be approximated to other polyhedrons, such as a cuboid, a cube and the like.

In the embodiment of the present application, a description will be given by taking as an example that the smoke region is approximated to a sphere centered on the trigger position of the smoke prop.

Step 6020, acquiring a first position and a second position, wherein the first position is a position of a first virtual object controlled by the terminal, and the second position is a position of a second virtual object except the first virtual object in the virtual scene.

In this embodiment of the application, the terminal may acquire a space coordinate of a currently controlled first virtual object in the virtual scene and a space coordinate of a second virtual object in the virtual scene, acquire the space coordinate of the first virtual object in the virtual scene as a first position, and acquire the space coordinate of the second virtual object in the virtual scene as a second position.

Step 6030, the trigger position of the target area is obtained.

Wherein, the target area is an effective smoke area formed by the smoke prop.

Optionally, the trigger position may be a position where an explosion point is located after the smoke prop is used.

Optionally, the smoke prop may be a smoke bomb in a virtual scene.

Step 6040, obtain the radius of the target area.

In this embodiment, the radius of the target area is the sphere radius of the sphere-like effective smoke area formed by the smoke prop, and the step 640 includes:

substep 6041, obtaining the triggered duration of the target region;

and a sub-step 6042 of obtaining a radius of the target region according to the triggered duration of the target region.

Wherein the range of the target area changes with time. For example, after the smoke prop is used, a smoke area (i.e., the above target area) can be gradually formed from the detonation point of the smoke prop to the periphery, and the smoke area gradually expands until the smoke area is maximum, then the smoke area starts to be gradually dissipated, and finally disappears.

In the process from generation to disappearance of the target area, the radius of the target area may increase and then decrease with time.

Step 6050, obtain a third distance between the first position and the second position, a fourth distance between the first position and the trigger position, and a fifth distance between the second position and the trigger position.

Please refer to fig. 7, which illustrates a distance relationship diagram of an object prompting method in a virtual scene according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 7, the virtual object 710 is a terminal control object, and the virtual object 720 is a control object other than the terminal control object. The distance between the virtual object 710 and the virtual object 720 is S3, the distance from the virtual object 710 to the trigger position 730 of the smoke prop is S4, the distance from the virtual object 720 to the trigger position 730 of the smoke prop is S5, and the radius of the target area is R.

Step 6060, determine whether the fourth distance and the fifth distance are both greater than the radius of the target area; if yes, go to step 6070, otherwise, go to step 6100.

If the fourth distance and the fifth distance are both greater than the radius of the target area, which indicates that the first virtual object and the second virtual object are both outside the target area, step 6070 may be performed to further perform the step of detecting whether the ray between the first position and the second position passes through the target area.

Otherwise, if the fourth distance and the fifth distance are not greater than the radius of the target area at the same time, it indicates that at least one of the first virtual object and the second virtual object is in the target area, and then step 6100 may be entered to mask the object prompt function.

For example, if the fourth distance is smaller than the radius of the target area and the fifth distance is larger than the radius of the target area, please refer to fig. 8, which shows a schematic view of a display scene of the object prompting method in the virtual scene according to the embodiment of the present application, at a certain time, the positions of the two parties of the battle are as shown in fig. 8, the virtual object 710 is located in the target area, the virtual object 720 is located outside the target area, that is, S4 is smaller than R, S5 is larger than R, taking the virtual object 710 as a shooting source and the virtual object 720 as a shooting target as an example, at this time, the terminal may proceed to step 6100.

For another example, if the fifth distance is smaller than the radius of the target area and the fourth distance is larger than the radius of the target area, please refer to fig. 9, which shows a schematic view of a display scene of the object prompting method in the virtual scene according to the embodiment of the present application, at a certain time, the positions of the two parties of the battle are as shown in fig. 9, the virtual object 720 is located in the target area, the virtual object 710 is located outside the target area, that is, S5 is smaller than R, S4 is larger than R, taking the virtual object 710 as a shooting source and the virtual object 720 as a shooting target as an example, at this time, the terminal may proceed to step 6100.

For another example, if the fourth distance and the fifth distance are both smaller than the target radius, please refer to fig. 10, which shows a schematic view of a display scene of the object prompting method in the virtual scene according to the embodiment of the present application, at a certain time, the positions of the two parties of the battle are as shown in fig. 10, the virtual object 710 and the virtual object 720 are both located in the target area, that is, S4 is smaller than R, S5 is also smaller than R, taking the virtual object 710 as a shooting source and the virtual object 720 as a shooting target as an example, at this time, the terminal may proceed to step 6100.

Step 6070, determine whether the third distance is not less than any of the fourth distance and the fifth distance; if yes, go to step 6080, otherwise, go to step 6110.

In this embodiment, if the third distance is smaller than any one of the fourth distance and the fifth distance, it indicates that the first virtual object and the second virtual object may not be located on the same side of the target area, and in this case, step 6080 needs to be performed to further perform the step of detecting whether the ray between the first position and the second position passes through the target area.

For example, at a certain time, as shown in fig. 7, the two parties of the battle are located, the virtual object 710 and the virtual object 720 are located on the same side of the target area, taking the virtual object 710 as the shooting source and the virtual object 720 as the shooting target, for example, if S3 is not smaller than S4 and not smaller than S5, the process may proceed to step 6080, and if S3 is smaller than either of S5 and S4, the process proceeds to step 6110.

On the contrary, if the third distance is not less than any of the fourth distance and the fifth distance, it is indicated that the first virtual object and the second virtual object may be located on the same side of the target area, at this time, it may be determined that the target area is not covered between the first virtual object and the second virtual object, and step 6110 may be performed.

In another possible case, please refer to fig. 14, which illustrates a schematic view of a display scene of an object prompting method in a virtual scene according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 14, when the virtual object 710 is used as a shooting source, the virtual object 720 is used as a shooting target, and the vertical plane where the virtual object 710 and the virtual object 720 are located intersects with the target sphere 750, a cross-sectional circle 760 is generated, the center of the cross-sectional circle is 770, the distance from the center of the cross-sectional circle to the connecting line between the virtual object 710 and the virtual object 720 is S2, and S2 is not greater than the radius R of the cross-sectional circle, then the connecting line passes through the target area.

In another embodiment provided herein, the first location and the second location may not be on the same horizontal plane, e.g., as shown in fig. 5, virtual object 510 is on a higher plane than virtual object 520. The scheme of the application can be simultaneously applied to the judgment of the two situations that the first position and the second position are on the same horizontal plane or not on the same horizontal plane.

For example, please refer to fig. 15, which shows a schematic view of a display scene of an object prompting method in a virtual scene according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 15, taking the virtual object 710 as a shooting source and the virtual object 720 as a shooting target, for example, a vertical plane where the virtual object 710 and the virtual object 720 are located intersects with the target sphere 750 to generate a cross-sectional circle 760 with a center of the cross-sectional circle 770, a distance from the center of the cross-sectional circle to a connection line between the virtual object 710 and the virtual object 720 is S2, and S2 is greater than the radius R of the cross-sectional circle, the terminal may determine that the connection line does not pass through the target area; or, the distance from the intersection point of the straight line passing through the center 770 of the cross-sectional circle and going vertically upward to the connecting line with the center 770 of the cross-sectional circle is S6, and S6 is greater than the radius R of the cross-sectional circle, the terminal may determine that the connecting line does not pass through the target area.

In another possible case, please refer to fig. 16, which illustrates a schematic view of a display scene of an object prompting method in a virtual scene according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 16, taking the virtual object 710 as a shooting source and the virtual object 720 as a shooting target, for example, a vertical plane where the virtual object 710 and the virtual object 720 are located intersects with the target sphere 750 to generate a cross-sectional circle 760 with a center of the cross-sectional circle 770, a distance from the center of the cross-sectional circle to a connection line between the virtual object 710 and the virtual object 720 is S2, and S2 is not greater than a radius R of the cross-sectional circle, the terminal may determine that the connection line passes through the target area; or, the distance from the intersection point of the straight line passing through the center 770 of the cross-sectional circle and going vertically upwards to the connecting line with the center 770 of the cross-sectional circle is S6, and S6 is not greater than the radius R of the cross-sectional circle, the terminal may determine that the connecting line passes through the target area.

Step 6090, determine whether the connection line between the first location and the second location passes through the target area, if yes, go to step 6100, otherwise, go to step 6110.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the connection line between the first location and the second location passes through the target area, the terminal may proceed to step 6100 to shield the object indication function, wherein the object indication function is used to indicate that there are other virtual objects besides the first virtual object in the direction pointed by the front sight pattern. Accordingly, when the connection line between the first location and the second location does not pass through the target area, the terminal may proceed to step 6110 to turn on the object prompt function.

Step 6100, mask object prompt function.

Optionally, when a connecting line between the first position and the second position passes through the target area and no collision-capable object exists between the first position and the second position, if the sight pattern is directly opposite to the second virtual object, the sight pattern is displayed in a non-prompting state; the sight pattern in the non-prompting state is used for prompting that no other virtual objects except the first virtual object exist in the pointing direction.

The collision-able object refers to a virtual object having a collision volume in a virtual scene, for example, the collision-able object may be a wall, a virtual vehicle, a hill, or a building.

For example, even if a second virtual object other than the first virtual object is present in or behind the target region of the direction indicated by the sight, and there is no obstacle from the collision object between the first virtual object and the second virtual object, the sight pattern is in the non-presentation state, that is, the color, shape, size, and the like of the sight pattern are not changed, as shown in fig. 4, 8, 9, 10, and 14.

Step 6110, start object prompt function.

Optionally, when the connection line between the first position and the second position does not pass through the target area and no collision-enabling object exists between the first position and the second position, if the foresight pattern is directly opposite to the second virtual object, the foresight pattern is displayed in a prompt state; the sight bead pattern in the prompting state is used for prompting that other virtual objects except the first virtual object exist in the pointing direction.

For example, when the quasi-star pattern shown in fig. 7 and 13 is within the target area of the direction indicated by the quasi-star or behind the target area by a second virtual object other than the first virtual object, if there is no blocking of the collision object between the first virtual object and the second virtual object, the quasi-star pattern may be in a prompting state, for example, it may be represented as a change in color, shape, size, and the like of the quasi-star pattern.

Referring to fig. 17, a flowchart of an object hinting method in a virtual scene according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. The object prompting method may be executed by a terminal, where the terminal may be the terminal shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 17, the object prompting method in the virtual scene includes the following steps:

step 1710, displaying a display interface of the application program, wherein the display interface comprises a scene picture of a virtual scene; the virtual scene comprises a target area, wherein the target area is a space area which shields the sight line and has no collision volume; the display interface is superposed with and displayed with a sight bead pattern.

Step 1720, when a connecting line between the first position and the second position passes through the target area and no collision-capable object exists between the first position and the second position, if the sight pattern is over against the second virtual object, displaying the sight pattern in a non-prompting state; the sight bead pattern in the non-prompting state is used for prompting that no other virtual object except the first virtual object exists in the pointing direction.

Step 1730, when the connection line between the first location and the second location does not pass through the target area and no collision-capable object exists between the first location and the second location, if the sight pattern is directly opposite to the second virtual object, displaying the sight pattern in a prompt state; the sight bead pattern in the prompting state is used for prompting that other virtual objects except the first virtual object exist in the pointing direction;

the first position is the position of a first virtual object controlled by the terminal, and the second position is the position of a second virtual object in the virtual scene except the first virtual object.

The implementation process of step 1710 to step 1730 may refer to the related description in the embodiment shown in fig. 3 or fig. 6, and is not described herein again.

Taking the virtual scene as an example of a virtual scene of a battle game, please refer to fig. 18, which shows a flowchart of an object prompting method in a virtual scene according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Taking a game scene as an example, the object prompting method comprises the following steps:

the smoke bomb is thrown and smoke is generated (S1810). In the embodiment of the application, an enemy target or a player throws a smoke bomb and generates smoke, and the smoke is a special effect picture and cannot be subjected to collision detection.

Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present application, the problem of detection is solved by physical calculation, for example, the distance between two points is used for judging and the intersection of a straight line and a circle is used for judging whether the smoke blocking ray can be detected.

The terminal judging whether the player is in the smoke (S1820); if so, the process proceeds to S1860, otherwise, the process proceeds to S1830.

The terminal calculates the distance OA between the player and the smoke center, wherein O is the smoke center, A is the position of the player, O is the sphere center, and R is the radius to form a sphere which represents the smoke range:

when OA is less than or equal to R, the player is in the smoke range generated by the smoke bomb, and the terminal shields the object prompting function (S1860);

when OA is greater than R, the player is not in the smoke range generated by the smoke bomb, and the terminal determines whether an enemy target is in the smoke (S1830); if so, the process proceeds to S1860, otherwise, the process proceeds to S1840.

The terminal calculates the distance OB between an enemy target and a smoke center, wherein O is the smoke center, B is the position of the enemy target, O is the sphere center, and R is the radius to form a sphere which represents the smoke range:

when OB is smaller than or equal to R, an enemy target is in a smoke range generated by a smoke bomb, and the terminal shields an object prompt function (S1860);

when OB is larger than R, the enemy target is not in the smoke range generated by the smoke bomb, and the terminal judges whether the player and the enemy target are on the same side of the smoke (S1840); if so, the process proceeds to S1870, otherwise, the process proceeds to S1850.

The terminal may compare the magnitude relationship of AB to OA, OB by calculating the distance AB between the player and the enemy object, the distance OA between the player and the smoke center, the distance OB between the enemy object and the smoke center:

when AB is smaller than OA and OB at the same time, the player and the enemy object are on the same side of smoke, and the terminal turns on the object prompt function (S1870).

When AB is not less than OA and OB at the same time, the player and the enemy object are on different sides of the smoke, and the terminal judges whether a connection line between the player and the enemy object passes through the smoke (S1850); if so, the process proceeds to S1860, otherwise, the process proceeds to S1870.

Alternatively, in one possible scenario, the player is in the same plane as the enemy object.

The terminal calculates the distance d between the smoke center O and the straight line formed by connecting the player and the enemy target and passing through A, B, and compares the magnitude relation between d and R:

when d is less than or equal to R, a connecting line between the player and the enemy target passes through smoke, and the terminal shields an object prompting function (S1860);

when d is greater than R, the connection between the player and the enemy target does not pass through smoke, and the terminal turns on an object prompt function (S1870).

Optionally, the determining step may be completed by the following program codes:

float x1＝source.x；

float y1＝source.z；

float x2＝target.x；

float y2＝target.z；

if (x2.equals (x1)) x1+ (0.1 f); // preventing exactly equal cases

float k＝(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)；

float b＝(y1*y2-x1*y2)/(x2-x1)；

float x0＝smokePos.x；

float y0＝smokePos.z；

float r＝m_CurrentRegionSize；

float d＝Mathf.Abs(k*x0-y0+b)/Mathf.Sqrt(k*k+1)；

Alternatively, the player and the enemy target may not be in the same plane, as the case may be. Taking the player in a plane higher than the enemy object as an example, the terminal forms a straight line passing through A, B two points by connecting the player and the enemy object, the vertical plane where the straight line is located intersects a plane C with a sphere taking the smoke center O as the center of sphere and R as the radius, the plane C is a circle taking D as the center of circle and R as the radius.

Optionally, the distance from the circle center D to the straight line where the player and the enemy target are located is F, and the magnitude relation between F and r is compared:

when F is less than or equal to r, a connecting line between the player and the enemy target passes through smoke, and the terminal shields an object prompting function (S1860);

when F is greater than r, the connection between the player and the enemy target does not pass through smoke, and the terminal turns on an object prompt function (S1870).

Optionally, making a straight line vertically upward through the circle center D and intersecting a connecting line between the player and the enemy target at a point G, and comparing the magnitude relation between DG and r by the terminal:

when DG is less than or equal to r, the connection line between the player and the enemy target passes through smoke, and the terminal shields the object prompting function (S1860);

when DG is greater than r, the connection between the player and the enemy target does not pass through smoke, and the terminal turns on the object prompt function (S1870).
