Skills are applied during and after application, and the skill effect is correspondingly generated and consists of at least one basic skill effect. Optionally, the skill application process is divided into at least one skill stage. In one example, the skill is a process of applying a virtual fireball, and the skill application process is divided into three skill stages: (1) A preparation stage for generating a virtual fireball on the periphery of the virtual object; (2) A launching stage for moving the virtual fireball from the peripheral side of the virtual object to the target position; (3) After the virtual fireball is launched to the target position, the motion of the virtual object is restored to the buffering stage of the motion before the launching.

The number of devices and the types of devices are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

In connection with the description of the noun introduction and the implementation environment, the method for applying the skill of the virtual object provided in the embodiment of the present application is described, and fig. 4 shows a schematic flow chart of the method for applying the skill of the virtual object provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present application, where the method is applied to a client and is described by taking an example as an example, the method includes:

Step 401, receiving a skill applying instruction, wherein the skill applying instruction is used for indicating the virtual object to apply the target skill.

In one example, the skill placement instructions are generated by the client itself, e.g., the client receives the compression signal and generates the skill placement instructions based on the compression signal. In another example, a client connects with a server over a communications network, and the client receives a skill application instruction sent by the server.

In one example, the hardware environment of the terminal corresponding to the client is a computer operating system, and the configuration requirements of the terminal meet the minimum configuration of a processor, a memory, a sound card, a display card, an operating system and a multimedia program interface for displaying a virtual environment interface on the client.

Optionally, the client displays a virtual environment interface, and in the virtual environment interface, the virtual environment is presented in a visual angle of the virtual object; or, the virtual environment includes a virtual object therein. In one example, the virtual environment interface includes a screen in which a first person of the virtual object views the virtual environment.

Optionally, the virtual object for applying the target skill is a current master control virtual object of the client; or, the virtual object applying the target skill is other virtual objects in the field of view of the master control object of the current client. That is, the embodiments of the present application do not limit whether a control binding relationship is established between the client and the virtual object that applies the target skills.

Step 402, determining at least one basic skill effect corresponding to the target skill from a skill effect library of the virtual object, wherein the skill effect library comprises at least two basic skill effects obtained by decomposing at least two skills of the virtual object, and the at least two skills have at least one repeated basic skill effect.

The virtual object has at least two skills, and the virtual object can apply all the skills it has, i.e., the virtual object can apply at least two skills. In one example, the virtual object has three skills, namely, a first skill, a second skill and a third skill, and at this time, the skill applying instruction is an instruction for indicating the virtual object to apply the third skill, and then the third skill is determined to be the target skill.

Optionally, before entering the virtual environment interface, the client reads the skills of the virtual object, or a communication connection is established between the client and the server, before entering the virtual environment interface, the client sends the skills of the virtual object to the server, and the server reads the skills of the virtual object. The skill effect library is created for loading at this time, and stores a set of basic skill effects obtained by decomposing the skills of the virtual object in the client. The virtual object has a skill with at least one repetitive basic feature. In one example, a virtual object has 5 skills, each of which can be decomposed to obtain 10 basic skill effects, and 30 different basic skill effects are included in 50 basic skill effects, and 30 basic skill effects are included in the skill effect library.

The basic skill effect indicates a basic effect in one skill, i.e., the simplest skill effect that can be independently expressed. In one example, a skill is a virtual object turning around and making a punch, then the basic skill effect of the skill may include a turning around action and a punch action; or, the basic skill effect of the skill may include a preparatory action for turning a body, a buffering action for turning a body, a preparatory action for making a punch, a punching action for making a punch, and a buffering action for making a punch. The specific division of the basic skill effect is not limited in this application.

Optionally, the basic skill effects stored in the skill effect library each correspond to a basic skill effect identifier, where the basic skill effect identifier is used to uniquely indicate the basic skill effect.

In step 403, the target skill is applied according to the basic skill effect.

In the process of displaying the basic skill effect corresponding to the target skill, the client side can also acquire the display order of the basic skill effect. By displaying the basic skill effects corresponding to the target skills in the display order, the same visual effect as that of directly applying the target skills is realized.

After the virtual object performs the application of the target skill, in one example, the client also receives a skill-suspension signal and stops the application of the target skill based on the skill-suspension signal. The abort signal may be sent by the server or may be generated by the application in response to the target skill application being completed.

In summary, in the method provided in this embodiment, when the skill applying instruction is received, the basic skill effect corresponding to the target skill is selected from the pre-loaded skill effect library, and the application of the target skill is decomposed into the combination of the basic skill effects with the same visual effect but different application logic, so that the skill only needs to be read and displayed when applied, the situation that the basic skill effect is repeatedly read when the skill body is used as a unit for skill loading is avoided, the data amount when the skill is read is reduced, and the time for loading the skill is reduced.

In an optional embodiment provided by the application, an instant memory unit is further arranged in the client and is used for storing the applied target skills, so that under the condition that communication connection is established between the client and the server, the interaction process between the client and the server when the skills are applied again is simplified, and the flow consumption in the skill applying process is reduced. Fig. 5 is a flowchart of a method for storing and re-applying applied skills according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, where the method is implemented in a client, and the method is described in synchronization with step 403 in the foregoing embodiment, and includes:

In step 501, a first memory footprint size is determined, where the first memory footprint size indicates a size of memory occupied by at least two skills of a virtual object.

As described above, at least two skills possessed by a virtual object may be decomposed to obtain a basic skill effect. The basic skill effects comprise basic performance effects and basic event effects, wherein the basic performance effects are basic skill effects displayed in the virtual environment interface, and the basic event effects are basic skill effects influencing electronic equipment associated with the virtual environment interface;

the basic performance effects include: at least one of causing virtual harm, generating a virtual special effect, performing displacement of a virtual object, and creating a new virtual object;

the basic event effects include: at least one of causing the electronic device to vibrate, playing sounds, and adjusting settings of the electronic device.

Optionally, the basic event effect is a basic skill effect which can be generated by applying the skills under specific conditions, the basic performance effect is a basic skill effect which can be generated under any condition, and a corresponding relationship exists between the basic performance effect and the basic event effect. In this case, the client first obtains at least one basic performance effect from the skill effect library, and determines whether to determine the basic event effect corresponding to the event effect as the basic event effect corresponding to the target skill according to whether the event effect triggering condition is satisfied. Namely: in response to meeting the event effect trigger condition, determining a base performance effect and a base event effect corresponding to the base performance effect as a base skill effect corresponding to the target skill. In response to the event effect triggering condition not being met, a base performance effect is determined as a base skill effect corresponding to the target skill. In one example, the basic performance effect corresponding to the target skill is to cause virtual injury, the basic event effect corresponding to the target skill is to play sound effect indicating winning of the game, and the event effect triggering condition is to cause virtual injury to reach an injury threshold. When the virtual injury reaches the injury threshold value, determining the basic performance effect and the basic event effect as basic skill effects corresponding to the target skill; and when the virtual injury does not reach the injury threshold, determining that the basic performance effect is the basic skill effect corresponding to the target skill.

In other embodiments related to the application, the basic performance effect is a basic skill effect which can be generated when the skill is applied under a specific condition, and the basic event effect is a basic skill effect which can be generated under any condition, and the basic performance effect and the basic event effect have a corresponding relationship; or, the basic performance effect and the basic event effect are basic skill effects which can be generated under any condition, and no corresponding relation exists between the basic performance effect and the basic event effect. The present application is not limited as to whether or not there is a correspondence relationship between the basic presentation effects and the basic event effects.

The first memory occupation size is the memory size occupied by the data obtained by applying all the skills of the virtual object once. When a basic skill effect repeatedly appears in the candidate skills, the memory occupation size of the basic skill effect is repeatedly counted in the process of determining the first memory occupation size. In one example, the virtual object has 5 skills, each of which can be decomposed to obtain 10 basic skill effects, and the 50 basic skill effects include 20 repeated basic skill effects, and each of the basic skill effects has a size of 3KB, and although the repeated content of 20×3=60 KB is included, the first memory occupation size is 50×3=150 KB because the first memory occupation size takes the complete skill as the minimum composition unit when calculating.

Optionally, skill configuration data corresponding to the skills of the virtual object is stored in the client, and the first memory occupation size can be determined according to the configuration skill data.

In step 502, an instant memory unit is generated, wherein the size of the instant memory unit is equal to the first memory footprint size.

Optionally, each virtual object corresponds to an instant memory unit. Each virtual object displayed in the virtual environment interface of the client corresponds to an instant memory unit. Optionally, when a new virtual object is included in the virtual environment interface of the client, a new instant memory unit is configured for the new virtual object.

In an alternative embodiment of the present application, there is a communication connection between the client and the server, and when the client generates an instant memory unit corresponding to a virtual object that appears in its virtual environment, the server has created the instant memory unit corresponding to the virtual object. Referring to fig. 6, the application program of the first client 610 and the second client 620, which displays the virtual environment, is an FPS game, and a communication network connection is established between the first client 610 and the second client 620 and the server 630. The virtual environment includes a first virtual object 611 and a second virtual object 612, and the first virtual environment interface 601 in the first client 610 always observes the first virtual object 611, and the second virtual environment interface 602 in the second client 620 always observes the second virtual object 612, so the first client 610 correspondingly generates the first instant memory unit 621, and the second client 620 correspondingly generates the second instant memory unit 622. When the first virtual object 611 and the second virtual object 612 join the virtual environment, a first instant storage unit 621 corresponding to the first virtual object 611 and a second instant storage unit 622 corresponding to the second virtual object 612 are generated in the server 630. When the first virtual object 611 and the second virtual object 612 observe each other, that is, when the second virtual object 612 is displayed in the first virtual environment interface 601 and the first virtual object 611 is displayed in the second virtual environment interface 602, the first client generates the second instant memory unit 622 for the second virtual object 612 and the second client also generates the first instant memory unit 621 for the first virtual object 611.

Optionally, the instant memory unit generated in the client and the instant memory unit generated in the server perform synchronous data writing and reading according to the skill applying activity of the virtual object, but no data transmission is performed between the two.

Optionally, when the memory size occupied by the candidate skill corresponding to the newly added virtual object in the client cannot be determined, the client configures a preset size to the virtual object as the size of the instant memory unit.

In step 503, a second memory footprint size of the target skill is determined, where the second memory footprint size indicates a memory size occupied by storing the target skill.

And the second memory occupation size is the memory size occupied by the target skill after the target skill is applied once.

Optionally, candidate skill data corresponding to the candidate skill is stored in the client, and the second memory occupation size can be obtained through analysis of target skill data in the candidate skill data.

In embodiments of the present application, the target skills correspond to at least two basic skill effects.

Step 504, in response to applying the target skill, storing the target skill identifier in the instant memory unit, and according to the display sequence of the basic skill effect, sequentially storing the basic skill effect identifier of the basic skill effect corresponding to the target skill in the first area, where the position in the instant memory unit corresponds to the position in the instant memory unit, and the memory size of the first area is the second memory occupation size.

In the embodiment of the application, the target skill corresponds to a target skill identifier, the target skill identifier is used for uniquely indicating the target skill, the basic skill effect corresponds to a basic skill effect identifier, and the basic skill effect identifier is used for uniquely indicating the basic skill effect. Optionally, the real-time memory unit is further stored with a corresponding basic skill effect identifier.

In the process of applying the target skills by the client, basic skill effects corresponding to the target skills are sequentially revealed. At this time, the real-time memory unit records the corresponding relation between the basic skill effect and the target skill and the display process of the basic skill effect. Referring to fig. 7, in the virtual environment 700, a virtual object 710 for applying a target skill is included, and in the client, an instant memory unit 720 exists corresponding to the virtual object 710, and the instant memory unit 720 includes a target skill identifier 721 and a first area 722. As shown in fig. 7, the target skill identification 721 is "123", and the target skills correspond to three basic skill effects: basic skill effect 731, basic skill effect 732, and basic skill effect 733, and basic skill effect 731 corresponds to basic skill effect identifier 741, basic skill effect 732 corresponds to basic skill effect identifier 742, and basic skill effect 733 corresponds to basic skill effect identifier 743. As shown in fig. 7, a basic skill effect 731 is a movement effect of the virtual object 710, a basic skill effect 732 is an effect of displaying a star mark in the virtual environment, and a basic skill effect 733 is an effect of displaying a "winner" word in the virtual environment. The client stores the basic skill effect identifier 741"a1", the basic skill effect identifier 742"a2", and the basic skill effect identifier 743"a3" in order into the first region 722 when the virtual object 710 performs the basic skill effect 731, the basic skill effect 732, and the basic skill effect 733 in order. At the same time, the basic skill effect 731, the basic skill effect 732, the basic skill effect 733 are also stored into the first area 722.

After the basic skill effect identifier corresponding to the target skill and the basic skill effect correspondence are stored in the instant memory unit, when other skills in the skills possessed by the virtual object need to be stored, namely, the memory currently occupied needs to be calculated as a deviation value when the storage position is determined, and the storage position of the other skills in the instant memory unit is calculated according to the deviation value.

Step 505, retrieving a base skill effect identification from the first area in response to receiving the skill application instruction again.

When the skill meets the re-application requirement, the skill may be re-applied in response to receiving the skill application instruction again.

Alternatively, when the basic skill effect is stored in the instant memory unit and the skill needs to be applied again, the contents of the basic skill effect are simultaneously retrieved from the instant memory unit.

Step 506, determining the basic skill effect corresponding to the target skill and the order of displaying the basic skill effect according to the basic skill effect identification.

Since the basic skill effect is sequentially stored when the basic skill effect identifier is stored, the order of the basic skill effect corresponding to the application of the target skill is directly obtained by a sequential calling mode in the process of re-calling the basic skill effect identifier.

Step 507, sequentially displaying the basic skill effects, and applying the target skills.

In some other embodiments of the present application, when a communication connection is established between the client and the server, if the instant storage unit in the server already stores the content corresponding to the application process of the target skill, but the instant storage unit in the client does not store the content corresponding to the application process, the server sends the skill application instruction to the client again, reads the content in the first area corresponding to the target skill in the instant storage unit of the server, and sends the basic skill effect identifier thereof to the client. And when the client receives the basic skill effect identification, displaying the basic skill effect in sequence according to the basic skill effect identification, and completing the application of the target skill. Simultaneously, the client sequentially stores the basic skill effect identification into an instant memory unit of the client.

Through the setting of the instant memory unit, the display content and the display sequence of the corresponding basic skill effect are stored for the applied skill, so that a user can directly read the related content of the skill from the instant memory unit without loading configuration again in the subsequent skill use, and the skill is applied, thereby reducing the loading time when the skill is used for the second time.

In an alternative embodiment provided herein, the target skills are divided according to skill stages of the skills to make the skill structure of the target skills clearer. In addition, fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of a method for applying skills of a virtual object according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, and the method is applied to a client for explanation, and includes:

step 801, skill configuration data is sent.

In the embodiment of the application, a communication connection is established between the client and the server. After establishing the communication connection, the client sends skill configuration data to the server.

FIG. 9 illustrates a schematic block diagram of skill configuration data provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 9, the skill configuration data 900 includes a skill management component class 910, a skill class 920, a skill stage class 930, and a skill effect class 940, which are divided according to class levels. And the superior class and the inferior class are inclusion relations.

Included in the skill management component class 910 are skill list data 911, key configuration data 912, and mutual exclusion data 913. Wherein the skill list data 911 corresponds to at least one skill class 920 and indicates a skill corresponding to the virtual object; key configuration data 912 indicates keys that virtual objects are available to perform skill configuration; the mutual exclusion data 913 indicates a mutual exclusion relationship between candidate skills of the virtual object, or a mutual exclusion relationship between keys, or a relationship between candidate skills of the virtual object and cases available for skill configuration.

Skill class 920 includes skill identification data 921, skill name data 922, and skill stage list data 923. The skill identification data 921 is skill data for the client to read and identify, and uniquely indicates the skill of the virtual object; skill name data 922 is visual skill data for a user to distinguish between skills possessed by virtual objects; the skill stage list data 923 corresponds to at least one skill stage class 930 and indicates skill stages to which each virtual object has a skill.

Included in the skill stage class 930 are stage name data 931, stage type data 932, stage effects list data 933, and event effects list data 934. The phase name data 931 and the phase type data 932 are data for identifying the phase. The phase effect list data 933 corresponds to a basic performance effect, and the event effect list data 934 corresponds to a basic event effect.

The skill effect class 940 includes basic performance effects and basic event effects, that is, the corresponding data content in the skill effect class 940 is the content of the specific basic skill effect. Referring to fig. 9, the skill effect class 940 includes a cause injury effect 941, a generate special effect 942, a vibration effect 943, a play sound effect 944, a displacement effect 945, and a create virtual object effect 946.

Optionally, after the client sends the skill configuration data to the server, the server collates and stores the skill configuration data, and generates a corresponding instant memory unit according to the skill list.

Step 802, in response to receiving a first key signal, sending a skill applying request, where the first key signal is a signal generated when a trigger operation is performed on a virtual key.

In the embodiment of the application, the virtual object for applying the target skill is a master control virtual object of the client. In one example, virtual keys are included in the virtual environment interface, and binding relations are established between target skills and the virtual keys.

After receiving a first key signal generated by triggering the virtual key, the client sends a skill release request to the server, wherein the skill release request is used for requesting to acquire a skill release instruction. At this time, the server is configured to detect whether the skill distribution meets the logic, for example, whether the skill distribution meets the requirement of mutual exclusion information.

Step 803, a skill application instruction is received.

When the server determines that the release of the target skills meets the logic, the client sends a skill release instruction to the server, and the server prepares to release the target skills in response to receiving the skill release instruction.

Step 804, determining a basic performance effect corresponding to the target skill from the skill effect library.

The skill effect library is a collection of basic skill effects that are preloaded together by the server and the client. The number of basic skill effects in the skill effect library loaded by the client is determined according to the number of virtual objects in the virtual environment interface. And the number of basic skill effects within the skill effect library loaded in the server is determined based on the total number of virtual objects in the virtual environment. Optionally, each virtual object in the virtual environment shares the same skill effect library, or each virtual object in the virtual environment corresponds to a separate skill effect library. In the embodiment of the present application, an example is described in which each virtual object in the virtual environment shares the same skill effect library.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the comparison between the loading data when the server pre-loads the skills of all the virtual objects included in the virtual environment and the loading data when the server pre-loads the basic skill effects corresponding to the skills of all the virtual objects in the virtual environment is shown in the following table.

Table one: load data contrast table

	Loading skills	Loading basic skill effects
			Number of objects (number)	60600	600
Memory occupation (megabits) of server	40	10
			Skill initialization time (millisecond)	500	20

As shown in the above table one, when the server loads skills of virtual objects in the virtual environment one by one, it needs to load 60600 skills in total, occupies 40 megabytes of server memory, and needs to take 500 milliseconds of initialization time; when the server loads the basic skill effect corresponding to the skills of the virtual object, it needs to load 600 skills in total, occupies 10 megabytes of server memory, and takes 20 milliseconds of initialization time.

As can be seen from table one, when the server is preloaded with basic skill effects, the number of objects it needs to load, the memory occupied, and the skill initialization time are all greatly reduced.

In this embodiment, the basic event effect is a basic skill effect that can be generated by applying a skill under a specific condition, and the basic performance effect is a basic skill effect that can be generated in any case.

In response to meeting the event effect trigger condition, a base performance effect and a base event effect corresponding to the base performance effect are determined as base skill effects corresponding to the target skill, step 805.

As illustrated in the example in step 501, when the basic performance effect satisfies the time effect generation condition, the client and the server determine the basic event effect.

Step 806, performing performance of the ith skill stage by displaying the basic skill effect corresponding to the ith skill stage.

In an embodiment of the present application, the target skills are divided into N skill stages, each skill stage corresponding to at least one skill effect, and each skill stage corresponding to a skill stage identification.

Each skill stage corresponds to a stage base skill effect that includes at least one base skill effect. In one example, the skill is a process of applying a virtual fireball, and the process of applying skill is divided into three skill stages: (1) A preparation stage for generating a virtual fireball on the periphery of the virtual object; (2) A launching stage for moving the virtual fireball from the peripheral side of the virtual object to the target position; (3) After the virtual fireball is launched to the target position, the motion of the virtual object is restored to the buffering stage of the motion before the launching.

The basic skill effect corresponding to the skill stage (1) is the animation preparation effect of the virtual object and the effect of generating virtual sparks on the periphery of the virtual object; the basic skill effect corresponding to the skill stage (2) is the effect of the virtual object touching the virtual spark, the effect of the virtual object lifting the virtual spark, the effect of the virtual object throwing the virtual spark, the effect of the virtual spark volume increase, and the effect of forming the virtual fireball and the effect of the virtual spark flight; the basic skill effect corresponding to the skill stage (3) is the effect of the virtual fireball striking the object, the effect of the virtual fireball burning out and the effect of the action before the virtual object returns to the skill application.

Step 807, determining a first memory footprint size of the candidate skills.

Steps 807 to 810 are processes for data storage of data generated in the skill application process. Steps 807 to 809 are completed before step 806 is performed, and step 810 is performed in synchronization with step 806. The first memory occupation size is the memory size occupied by data obtained by applying all skills of virtual object assembly once. The client determines a first memory occupation size corresponding to a virtual object controlled by the client, and the server determines the first memory occupation size corresponding to each virtual object in the virtual environment.

In step 808, an instant memory unit is generated.

The client generates only the instant memory units corresponding to the virtual object it hosts and other virtual objects in the virtual environment interface, while the server generates the instant memory units corresponding to all virtual objects in the virtual environment.

Optionally, after a new virtual object equipped with candidate skills appears in the client, the server sends the memory size of the instant memory unit corresponding to the virtual object to the client, and the client receives the memory size and generates the instant memory unit corresponding to the virtual object according to the memory size.

Step 809, determining a second memory footprint size of the target skill.

And the second memory occupation size is the memory size occupied by the data obtained by applying the target skill once.

The client and the server simultaneously determine a second memory occupation size of the target skills.

And step 810, responding to the instruction of the stage release instruction to release the ith skill stage, storing the skill stage identification corresponding to the ith skill stage into the instant memory unit, and sequentially storing the basic skill effect identifications of the basic skill effects corresponding to the ith skill stage into a second area of the instant memory unit according to the display sequence, wherein the second area is positioned in the first area.

In the embodiment of the application, when the target content is stored in the instant memory module, the skill stage is used as the minimum unit for storage.

The second area is an area corresponding to the memory size occupied by the ith skill stage. Optionally, after reading the information of the ith skill stage, the server determines the memory size of the second area, and sends the memory size to the client, and the client performs the division of the second area in the instant memory module corresponding to the virtual object according to the memory size.

Optionally, after the i-th skill stage is finished and the basic skill effect identifiers of the basic skill effects corresponding to the i-th skill stage are sequentially stored in the second area in the instant memory unit, retrieving the basic skill effect identifiers from the second area in response to receiving the stage release instruction again, which indicates that the i-th skill stage is released; determining a basic skill effect corresponding to the ith skill stage according to the basic skill effect identification and displaying the sequence of the basic skill effect; the basic skill effects are displayed sequentially, and the performance of the ith skill stage is performed.

In the process of applying the target skills by the client, skill stages corresponding to the target skills are sequentially presented. At this time, the real-time memory unit records the correspondence between the skill stage and the target skill and the display process of the basic skill effect in the skill stage.

Optionally, the server determines a skill stage corresponding to each skill of the skills according to the skill configuration information, and a skill template manager is further arranged in the server. FIG. 10 illustrates a schematic diagram of a skills template manager provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Please refer to fig. 10. In the skill template manager 1010, a first skill 1001, a second skill 1002, and a third skill 1003 are included. The first skill corresponds to five skill stages, skill stage 1011, skill stage 1012, skill stage 1013, skill stage 1014, and skill stage 1015, respectively. The server also has a first skill management unit 1031 corresponding to the first virtual object 1021, a second skill management unit 1032 corresponding to the second virtual object 1022, the first virtual object 1021 and the second virtual object 1022 each configured with the first skill 1001, the second skill 1002, and the third skill 1003, the first skill management unit 1031 configured with the first real-time memory unit 1051, and the second skill management unit 1032 configured with the second real-time memory unit 1052. Skill stage 1011, skill stage 1012, skill stage 1013, skill stage 1014, and skill stage 1015 may be stored in first real-time memory unit 1051 and second real-time memory unit 1052.

In step 811, in response to receiving the second key signal, a phase switching request is sent, where the switching request is used to request the target skill to perform switching of the skill phase.

In the embodiment of the present application, the target skill is a skill for performing switching of skill stages according to a stage switching request. Optionally, according to the stage switching request, the objective skill switches the ith skill stage to the (i+1) th skill stage; or, according to the phase switching request, the objective skill switches the ith skill phase into the skill phase indicated by the phase switching request. In this embodiment, the objective skill will be described by taking the step of switching the i-th skill step to the i+1-th skill step according to the step switching request as an example.

The second key signal is generated by triggering the virtual key after the first skill application request is sent.

After receiving the second key signal, the client sends a phase switching request to the server, and the server detects after receiving the phase switching request to determine whether the switching of skill phases of the target skills accords with logic.

Step 812, in response to receiving the instruction for allowing switching, performing effect display of the skill stage by displaying the basic skill effect corresponding to the i+1th skill stage.

When the server determines that the switching of the skill stage of the target skill accords with logic, the client sends a switching permission instruction to the server, and the server responds to the receiving of the switching permission instruction to switch the skill stage. The switching of skill stages is represented by switching of basic skill effects, and the basic skill effects after switching belong to basic skill effects corresponding to the (i+1) th skill stage.

In another possible embodiment of the present application, steps 811 and 812 are repeated until all skill phases of the target skill are fully represented; or, in another possible embodiment of the present application, the client ends the application of skills in response to receiving a skill-suspension instruction sent by the server. The skill stopping instruction is a skill stopping instruction directly sent by the server, or a skill stopping instruction fed back by the server in response to a skill stopping request sent by the client.

By dividing the target skills into skill stages, the application process of the target skills is clearer and controllable, and meanwhile, the target skills are divided by taking skill stages as units, so that the time required for combining the target skills is reduced, and the time for loading the skills is further reduced.

The skill stage switching control is performed by setting the keys, so that man-machine interaction experience in the skill applying process is improved.

In the above embodiments, the methods of skill application and application process storage in the client and server may be performed by the virtual object store and the skill management store separately. Fig. 11 is a flowchart illustrating a skill applying process according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, where the process occurs in a client and a server, and the client and the server performing the process are each configured with a virtual object store and a skill management store, and the process includes:

in step 1101, the virtual object store in the client sends the first key information to the skill management store in the client.

In the embodiment of the application, a communication network connection is established between the client and the server. The target skill includes two skill stages, and each stage needs to be triggered by key information.

The virtual object memory is a memory for executing the application of the target skills; the skill management memory is a processor for storing applied skills, and indicating virtual objects to store basic skill effect identifications corresponding to basic skill effects and skill stage identifications corresponding to skill stages.

Step 1101 is a process in which the client sends the first key information to the client in response to receiving the first key signal. The first key information is information representing information generated from the first key signal.

Optionally, a binding relationship is established between the virtual key generating the first key signal and the target skill.

In step 1102, a skill management memory in the client sends first key information and a key identification to a skill management memory in the server.

After the skill management memory in the server receives the first key information, it will check the plausibility of the target skill. In one example, a skill management memory in the server verifies mutual exclusivity between the release of the target skill and the current environment.

In step 1103, the skill management store in the server sends the first skill performance to the virtual object store in the server.

The first skill performance corresponds to a combination of basic skill effects included in the first skill stage.

Optionally, the virtual object memory in the server has an instant memory unit corresponding to the virtual object, and the combination of the basic skill effects included in the first skill stage is stored in the instant memory unit.

The skill management store in the server sends the first performance simulation procedure to the client, step 1104.

The first performance simulation process is a visualization process corresponding to a combination of basic skill effects corresponding to the first skill stage. Optionally, after the virtual object memory in the client receives the first skill expression, the first skill expression is stored in an instant memory unit corresponding to the target skill of the virtual object.

In step 1105, the skill management memory in the client sends a first performance simulation procedure to the virtual object memory in the client.

The first performance simulation process is the simulation process of the first stage of the target skills. The process is a process of indicating the virtual object in the virtual environment interface to apply the first skill stage of the target skill according to the basic performance effect and the sequence thereof in the instant memory unit in the client.

In step 1106, the virtual object store in the client sends the second key information to the skill management store in the client.

The second key information is information transmitted in response to the key signal after the virtual object performs the combination of the basic skill effects corresponding to the first skill stage.

Step 1107, the skill management memory in the client sends the key information and key identification to the skill management memory in the server.

The skill management memory in the server sends the second skill performance to the virtual object manager in the server, step 1108.

The process stores the second skill representation in an instant memory unit corresponding to the target skill of the virtual object assembly.

The functions performed in step 1107 and step 1108 are the same as those performed in steps 1102 to 1103, i.e. the process of the server receiving the second key information and the key identification and checking the rationality of the second skill performance application.

In step 1109, the skill management store in the server sends a second performance simulation procedure to the client.

The second performance simulation process is a visualization process corresponding to a combination of basic skill effects corresponding to the second skill stage. Optionally, after the virtual object memory in the client receives the second skill representation, the second skill representation is stored in an instant memory unit corresponding to the target skill of the virtual object.

Step 1110, the skill management store in the client sends a second performance simulation procedure to the virtual object store in the client.

The process is a process of indicating the virtual object in the virtual environment interface to apply the second skill stage of the target skill according to the basic performance effect and the order thereof in the instant memory unit in the client.

At step 1111, the skill management memory in the server indicates to the virtual object store therein that the skill application is complete.

The process is a process that the server determines that the skill application is finished according to the skill configuration information.

In step 1112, a skill management memory in the server sends a skill identification and skill ending instruction to the client.

In step 1113, the skill management memory in the client indicates that the virtual object memory skill application in the client is complete.

Steps 1111 to 1113 are processes in which the server instructs the client to end the skill distribution after the completion of the skill distribution. Optionally, the server determines that the skill applying process is finished from the skill configuration information sent by the client, and sends a skill identification and a skill finishing instruction to the client.

In summary, in the method provided in this embodiment, the method for applying skills and storing the applying process is performed by the virtual object storage and the skill management storage separately, a similar structure is established between the server and the client, and a communication connection is established, so that the data amount when the client side reads the skills is further reduced, and the time for loading the skills is further reduced.
