Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method for controlling a virtual item, provided in an embodiment of the present application, where the method is applied to an electronic device, the electronic device is a terminal or a server, and referring to fig. 2, taking the application of the method to the terminal as an example, the method includes the following steps.

201. And the terminal responds to the throwing instruction of the virtual prop and controls the virtual prop to move in the virtual scene according to the target motion track.

The virtual prop is a virtual object capable of interacting with a virtual character, and the virtual character can control the virtual prop to compete with other virtual characters. For example, the virtual items include attack-type virtual items, which can cause damage to the virtual character. For example, a grenade, a paste burning agent, and the like belong to attack virtual props, and can cause damage to virtual characters within a certain range during explosion or burning. The virtual prop can also comprise an auxiliary virtual prop, and the auxiliary virtual prop is used for assisting the virtual character to complete certain actions or achieve certain purposes. Such as a smoke bomb, a grapple, etc., can assist the virtual character in obscuring the figure or in assisting the virtual character in moving, etc.

The virtual props may include throw-type virtual props, shoot-type virtual props, and application-type virtual props. The throwing type virtual prop can be thrown by the virtual character and acts after being thrown. The shooting-type virtual prop can be used by virtual characters and can cause damage to other virtual characters by throwing a throwing object. The application-type virtual prop includes a plurality of using modes, for example, the pharmaceutical-type virtual prop can be used for improving the virtual life value of the virtual character, and for example, the virtual prop such as a knife and a pan can be used by the virtual character to directly attack other virtual characters.

In this application embodiment, can provide a neotype virtual stage property of throwing, the user can throw the operation on the terminal, and the terminal receives the throwing instruction that throws the operation and trigger, can control virtual character and throw this virtual stage property, then this virtual stage property can move according to certain movement track.

The target motion track of the virtual prop can be related to the visual angle direction during throwing operation, and a user can adjust the visual angle direction of a virtual scene through visual angle adjusting operation during throwing operation, so that the target motion track of the virtual prop is adjusted. The visual angle direction can be used as the initial motion direction of the virtual prop, and after the initial motion direction of the virtual prop is determined, the target motion track of the virtual prop can be obtained according to the initial motion direction and the initial speed.

202. And the terminal responds to the collision of the virtual prop with any virtual object on the target motion track in the virtual scene, controls the virtual prop to be adhered to the surface of the virtual object and deforms at the adhered position.

The virtual prop is not required to hit a virtual character to damage the virtual character, can deform after being thrown, can damage surrounding virtual characters when deforming, and can form an area after being deformed to continuously damage the virtual characters in the area. Such an attack that causes injury to a region or area may be referred to as a range attack. Therefore, the user does not need to accurately aim at the virtual object, the virtual object can be in the injury range of the virtual prop, the user operation can be simplified, and the operation difficulty is reduced.

After the virtual prop is thrown, if a virtual object exists on the target motion track, the virtual prop collides with the virtual object, and is different from the phenomenon that the virtual prop in the related technology collides with the virtual object to bounce after being thrown, the novel throwing type virtual prop has adhesive capacity, cannot bounce after being thrown and colliding with any virtual object, but adheres to the surface of the virtual object, and deforms at the adhesive position.

Therefore, the situation that the rebound motion track deviates from the expected motion track of the user can not occur, the deformation position of the virtual prop meets the expectation of the user, the user can accurately control the virtual prop, the precision of controlling the virtual prop is improved, and the control effect on the virtual prop is good. Through deformation, the user can know the specific position of the virtual prop and dodge the position of the deformation, or the user throwing the virtual prop can see the position of the virtual prop, so that whether the position accords with the expectation of the user is judged, and accurate information is provided for the next competition as reference.

203. And the terminal displays the first target special effect in a first area corresponding to the adhesion position.

The virtual lane can burn within a certain range around after being deformed, and if the virtual character is within the range, the virtual character can be continuously damaged. The terminal can display a first target special effect in a first area corresponding to the adhesion position to prompt the effect that the virtual prop burns in a certain range.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a method for controlling a virtual item provided in an embodiment of the present application, and referring to fig. 3, the method includes the following steps.

301. And the terminal displays the view picture of the currently controlled virtual character and the throwing control of the virtual prop.

The visual field picture is a picture simulating observation of a virtual scene from the perspective of a virtual character, or a picture simulating observation of a virtual scene from the perspective of a virtual camera in the vicinity of the virtual character. The throwing control of the virtual prop is used for detecting throwing operation of the virtual prop. If the virtual prop is to be thrown, touch operation is carried out on the throwing control piece, and then a throwing instruction of the virtual prop can be triggered.

The terminal can display the visual field picture and the throwing control in the user graphical interface, so that a user can decide how to throw the virtual prop to hurt other virtual characters according to the condition of the virtual characters or virtual objects in the displayed visual field picture.

Optionally, the terminal may also display other information or controls in the user graphical interface. For example, the terminal can display information (e.g., network connection status, power level, etc.) of the terminal in the user graphical interface. The terminal may also display information related to the currently controlled virtual character in the user graphical interface, for example, the related information may include attribute information (e.g., virtual life value, virtual props of equipment, etc.). The terminal may also display a thumbnail of a virtual scene, e.g. a thumbnail of a local or global virtual scene, also referred to as a minimap, in the user graphical interface. The terminal can also display a control for the virtual character in the user graphical interface, such as a control for controlling the movement of the virtual object (e.g., a control for controlling the virtual object to move automatically, such as a control for switching the controlled virtual prop, such as a backpack control for the virtual character, and the like. Of course, the terminal may also display other information, which is not listed here, and the display content of the user graphical interface is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the application.

For the virtual prop, the virtual prop may include multiple obtaining modes, two modes are provided below, and the embodiment of the present application may obtain the virtual prop in any mode.

The first method is as follows: the acquisition mode is picked up.

In the first mode, the terminal may display a plurality of virtual items in the virtual scene, for example, shooting-type virtual items or throwing-type virtual items. When the user sees the virtual prop, the user can control the virtual character to pick up the virtual prop through the picking-up operation.

Specifically, the virtual prop may be displayed on the ground or a virtual object of a virtual scene, when a distance between a currently controlled virtual character and the virtual prop is smaller than a target threshold, a pickup option of the virtual prop is displayed in the virtual scene, and when a trigger operation on the pickup option is detected, the terminal may control the virtual character to pickup the virtual prop. Optionally, after the picking up is completed, the terminal may further display the virtual item on a virtual target portion in the virtual scene, so as to prompt the virtual character to equip the virtual item.

The target portion may be a hand, a shoulder, a back, a waist, etc., and the target portion is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. The target threshold may be set by a person skilled in the art according to requirements, and is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

The second method comprises the following steps: and (4) calling acquisition mode.

In the second mode, the terminal may display a call control in the virtual scene, and when the user wants to call the virtual prop, the terminal may perform a trigger operation on the call control, and then the terminal may receive the trigger operation on the call control, generate a creation instruction, and thereby create the virtual prop in response to the creation instruction. The calling control is used for calling the virtual prop to enter the virtual scene, and the shape of the calling control can be a button which is displayed in a suspended mode in the virtual scene.

In one possible implementation, the virtual items may be classified, so that when viewing the information of the virtual items, the types of the virtual items can be viewed as an index. The virtual property can be classified as combat equipment because the virtual property is harmful, and the virtual property belonging to the same type of combat equipment can also comprise grenades, viscous mines and the like, which are not listed herein. Optionally, the virtual prop may also be classified as a type of blasting mine with explosive injury.

For example, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of an introduction interface of a virtual item provided in this embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, a user may select a type (e.g., combat equipment) 401 of the virtual item, and the terminal may display a type 402 of the virtual item. If the user wants to know specific information of some virtual item 402, the user can also select the displayed virtual item 402, and the terminal can display information 403 of the selected virtual item 402. Virtual item 402 may be displayed to the left in fig. 4, and the user may observe the shape of virtual item 402. Information 403 of virtual prop 402 may be displayed to the right in fig. 4. For example, the flame-retardant agent may be referred to as a flame-retardant agent or a flame-retardant bottle. The fire sticking agent can be stuck on the surface of any object or any person. The player can use the fire-sticking agent in the game after the fire-sticking agent is assembled on the fighting equipment interface.

302. And the terminal responds to the touch operation of the throwing control of the virtual prop and controls the virtual prop to move in a virtual scene according to the target motion track.

After the virtual object is equipped with the virtual prop, the user can select the virtual prop, and throw the virtual prop under the condition that the virtual character controls the virtual prop, so as to control the virtual character to throw the virtual prop in a virtual scene. Specifically, when the user can perform a throwing operation and the terminal detects the throwing operation, the target motion trajectory of a throwing object of the virtual prop can be acquired based on the view direction of the current virtual scene in response to the throwing operation on the virtual prop, so that the throwing object of the virtual prop is controlled to move in the virtual scene according to the target motion trajectory.

For the throwing operation, the user can press the throwing control for a long time, the initial motion direction of the virtual prop is adjusted through the visual angle adjusting operation, and after the throwing is determined, the user can cancel the long-press operation on the throwing control.

The throwing operation can trigger a throwing instruction, the throwing instruction comprises throwing operation information, and the terminal receives the throwing instruction, can respond to the throwing instruction and acquire a target motion track of the virtual prop according to the initial motion direction and the initial speed of the virtual prop in the throwing instruction. The visual angle direction can be used as the initial motion direction of the virtual prop, the initial speed can be a preset numerical value, and the terminal can also determine the operation duration or the pressing strength according to the throwing operation.

Optionally, the initial motion direction may be embodied as a throwing angle, an included angle between a viewing angle direction of the current virtual scene and a horizontal direction in the virtual scene may be used as the throwing angle, and the target motion trajectory may be obtained according to the throwing angle and stress information of the virtual prop. For example, the force information may be a vertical downward gravity, and for example, the force is a vertical downward gravity and an air resistance opposite to the movement direction of the virtual prop. The embodiment of the application does not specifically limit the stress information of the virtual prop. In one possible implementation, the target motion trajectory is a parabola.

In one possible implementation manner, when the user presses the throwing control, the terminal may determine and display the candidate motion trajectory according to the current viewing angle direction, so that the user can determine whether the current throwing direction is in accordance with the expectation according to the candidate motion trajectory, and if not, the terminal may also provide assistance for the adjusting step.

In one specific example, the virtual prop can throw a fire carrier, for example, the virtual prop can emit flame after being deformed, and the flame can burn around the virtual prop. The user can select the virtual prop, press the firing button, release the hands when adjusting to a proper throwing angle, the terminal can throw the virtual prop according to the current throwing angle, and the virtual prop can fly in the air according to a target motion track corresponding to the current throwing angle.

The following describes the throwing process of the virtual prop by using a specific example. As shown in fig. 5, a user may select a virtual prop 501 owned by the virtual character, the terminal controls the virtual character to hold the virtual prop, the terminal may display a throwing control 502 in a user graphical interface, the number of the throwing control 502 may be one, or two or more, and this is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. When the user presses the throwing control 502 when the virtual object controls the virtual item, the terminal may display the candidate motion trajectory 503 according to the current view direction. If the user wants to adjust, the user can perform the view angle adjustment operation, and the terminal can adjust the candidate motion trajectory according to the view angle adjustment operation until the user is satisfied, and the terminal can stop the touch operation on the throwing control 502, so that the virtual character is controlled to throw the virtual prop. And the candidate motion track when the touch operation is stopped is the target motion track. Taking the virtual prop as a fire adhesive as an example, the process is as follows: by default, the user uses the firearm weapon of the main weapon, and the user clicks on the throw weapon equipment bar to switch out the viscous agent (i.e., virtual prop 501), and then presses the fire key (i.e., throw control 502) to enter the pre-throw state, which displays a pre-throw line (i.e., candidate trajectory 503).

For the target motion trajectory (i.e., the pre-cast line), as shown in fig. 6, the obtaining process may obtain the magnitude and the direction of the initial velocity (i.e., the initial velocity and the initial motion direction), and optionally may also obtain the acceleration, a parabolic trajectory may be calculated according to these parameters, then a waypoint position 601 is obtained at intervals, and the waypoint position list is assigned to the special effect line, so that a parabolic trajectory 602 may be formed, where the parabolic trajectory is also the target motion trajectory. It should be noted that fig. 6 only shows the position of the waypoint to illustrate the position, and the position is not displayed when the terminal interface is displayed.

It should be noted that, when the virtual character controls another virtual item or does not control a virtual item, the throwing control may also be another type of control, for example, a triggering control of another virtual item or a triggering control of another action may be used before the user selects the throwing virtual item. For example, if the user selected a virtual item of the firearm type, the control may also be referred to as a firing control. If the user does not select any virtual prop, the control may be a punch control.

In a possible implementation manner, the terminal may display the control according to the state of the currently controlled virtual item and the display style corresponding to the state. For example, when the control is a firing control, the display style of the control is as follows: the button center shows a bullet. If the control is a throwing control, the display style of the control is as follows: the throwing type virtual prop is displayed in the center of the button. If the control is a punch control, the display style of the control is as follows: the center of the button displays a fist.

In a possible implementation manner, in this step 302, the terminal may further display a target motion trajectory of the virtual item, so that the user can observe the motion condition of the launcher of the virtual item more intuitively and clearly.

It should be noted that, in step 301 and step 302, a process of controlling the virtual prop to move according to a target motion trajectory in a virtual scene in response to a throwing instruction for the virtual prop is described, which is only described by displaying a throwing control and controlling throwing of the virtual prop according to a touch operation for the throwing control, and the throwing instruction may also be triggered by other manners, for example, controlling throwing of the virtual prop may be controlled through a gesture operation or a gyroscope operation. Specifically, the terminal responds to the target gesture and controls the virtual prop to move in the virtual scene according to the target motion track. Or the terminal determines the direction of the gyroscope according to the rotation data of the gyroscope, determines the posture of the terminal according to the direction of the gyroscope, and executes the step of controlling the movement of the virtual prop in response to the terminal being in the target posture.

303. And the terminal responds to the collision of the virtual prop with any virtual object on the target motion track in the virtual scene, and controls the virtual prop to be adhered to the surface of the virtual object.

After the terminal controls the virtual character to throw the virtual prop, when the virtual prop moves along the target motion track, if a virtual object exists on the target motion track, the virtual object may be a virtual character or a virtual object, and the virtual prop may collide with the virtual object. Because the virtual item has adhesiveness, unlike the related art in which the virtual item encounters object bounce, the virtual item can adhere to the surface of the virtual object that collides.

Therefore, the virtual prop cannot bounce, the motion track thrown by the user is the actual motion track of the virtual prop, and the deformation position of the virtual prop is a certain point position on the target motion track. Specifically, if the virtual object is touched, the deformation position is the collision position of the target motion track and the virtual object; if the virtual prop does not collide with other virtual objects until the virtual prop reaches the end position of the target motion trajectory, but collides with a virtual object (e.g., a virtual object such as the ground, a virtual building, etc.) at the end point, the deformation position is the position of the end point.

Therefore, the actual motion track of the virtual prop is the motion track expected by the user, the user can accurately know the possible deformation position of the virtual prop when throwing, so that the virtual prop can be accurately controlled, the precision of controlling the virtual prop is improved, the control effect on the virtual prop is good, the situation that the motion track is possibly rebounded and changed by the user is not needed, and the operation complexity and difficulty of the user can be reduced.

In one possible implementation, when the virtual item collides with the virtual object, the adhesion position may be the position where the collision occurs. Specifically, the terminal responds to the fact that the virtual prop collides with any virtual object on the target motion track in the virtual scene, and controls the virtual prop to be adhered to the surface of the virtual object at the collision position according to the collision position of the virtual prop and the surface of the virtual object. Therefore, the position of the virtual prop is not changed when the virtual prop is collided and adhered, the position synchronization is kept, the adhesion of the virtual prop can be well embodied, the adhesion position can be controlled more accurately, the control on the virtual prop is more accurate, the control effect is good, the display condition is more real, and the display effect is better.

In a possible implementation manner, the collision position may be determined by a target motion track and a surface of a virtual object, and the collision position is an intersection point between the target motion track and the surface of the virtual object, and the terminal may control the virtual prop to be adhered on the surface of the virtual object in response to that the target motion track and the surface of any virtual object in the virtual scene have an intersection point.

In a specific possible embodiment, the collision process may be implemented by a ray detection method, and in the process that the virtual prop moves according to the target motion trajectory, the terminal may start from the current position of the virtual prop, emit a ray in a tangential direction of the current position on the target motion trajectory, determine whether the ray passes through the surface of the virtual object, and if so, may use an intersection point of the ray and the virtual object as the adhesion position.

Optionally, the length of the ray is a target length, and the target length may be set by a relevant technician as required, for example, the length of the ray may be a small value, so that whether the target motion trajectory collides with the virtual object can be determined by the ray, and if the length is set to be too large, it may cause that the ray passes through but the target motion trajectory does not pass through the virtual object, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. For example, as shown in fig. 7, a virtual item 701 moves according to a target motion trajectory 702, and assuming that a current position is a during the movement, a terminal may emit a ray with a as a starting point, where the ray is AB, and if the ray AB detects a virtual object, the virtual item collides with the virtual object in a next frame, and a collision point (that is, a collision position, which is subsequently used as an adhesion position) may be obtained, and the virtual item may adhere to the collision point and deform.

304. And the terminal controls the virtual prop to deform at the adhesion position.

The virtual prop can deform after being adhered to the surface of the virtual object. In one possible implementation, the virtual item may be deformed while being adhered, or may be deformed immediately after being adhered, so as to simulate the occurrence of deformation triggered after the virtual item collides with a virtual object. For example, taking the virtual prop as a paste burning agent as an example, the deformation may be in the form of explosion, and after the paste burning agent collides with the virtual object, the paste burning agent adheres to the surface of the virtual object and explodes.

In a possible implementation manner, the virtual prop has a certain deformation direction when deformed, so that the situation of the virtual prop fragmentation or collision explosion is truly simulated. Specifically, the terminal may determine a deformation direction of the virtual prop according to the surface of the virtual object and the adhesion position, and control the virtual prop to deform along the deformation direction at the adhesion position.

This deformation direction can be set by relevant technical personnel as required, and in a possible implementation, this deformation direction can be the normal direction of the surface of virtual object, and then the step that the terminal confirmed the deformation direction can be: and the terminal acquires the normal direction of the adhesion position on the surface of the virtual object and determines the normal direction as the deformation direction of the virtual prop.

In this implementation, the positions of the surfaces of different virtual objects in the virtual scene are different, and then the corresponding deformation directions are different. If the virtual object is the ground in the virtual scene, and the ground is generally in the horizontal direction, the normal direction is the vertical direction, and the determined deformation direction is also the vertical direction. If the virtual object is a wall in a virtual scene, and the wall is generally in the vertical direction, the normal direction of the wall is the horizontal direction, and the determined deformation direction is also the horizontal direction. If the virtual object is a number of buildings, the normal direction of the virtual object can be determined as the deformation direction according to the surfaces of the buildings.

In a specific possible embodiment, when the virtual prop deforms along the deformation direction, a deformation region can be formed, that is, the terminal can determine the deformation region according to the deformation direction, or the terminal determines the deformation region of the virtual prop according to the surface of the virtual object and the adhesion position, and controls the virtual prop to deform in the deformation region.

It will be appreciated that the deformation region is located in the deformation direction. For example, as shown in fig. 8, if the virtual object is the ground 801 in the virtual scene, and the ground 801 is generally horizontal, the normal direction is vertical, and the determined deformation region 802 is located in the vertical direction of the ground 801. As shown in fig. 9, if the virtual object is a wall 901 in a virtual scene, and the wall 901 is generally vertical, the normal direction of the wall 901 is a horizontal direction, and the determined deformation region 902 is in the horizontal direction of the wall 901.

In one possible implementation, the virtual prop can damage the virtual characters in the surrounding area when deformed. For example, if the deformation is that the virtual prop explodes, the surrounding area can be affected during explosion. The terminal can determine the area affected by the deformation, and determine whether to execute the corresponding function according to whether the area has the virtual role.

Specifically, the terminal acquires a second area corresponding to the adhesion position according to the adhesion position, and controls the virtual life value of the virtual character to be reduced in response to any virtual character being located in the second area when the virtual prop deforms.

And for the second area, the virtual character in the second area is damaged when the virtual prop deforms. In one possible implementation, the second area may be an area centered on the adhesion location. The shape of the second area may be a circle or a sphere, and of course, the second area may also be a square or other shapes, the size of the second area may be a first target size, and the first target size may be set by a person skilled in the relevant art according to requirements, and the size and the shape of the second area are not limited in this application. In a specific possible embodiment, the terminal may acquire, as the second area, an area having a radius of the first radius with the adhesion position as a center. The first radius may be set by the skilled person as desired.

For the process of reducing the virtual life value, the target virtual life value can be reduced when the virtual character is influenced by the deformation of the virtual prop. Optionally, the target virtual life value may be set by a relevant technician according to a requirement, that is, the terminal may control the virtual life value of the virtual character to decrease the preset target virtual life value. For example, the virtual item deformation may result in a loss of virtual life value of 40 points. The first region includes two virtual characters, wherein one virtual character having a virtual life value of 200 originally is affected by deformation, and the virtual life value is changed to 160. After another virtual character with the virtual life value of 40 originally is affected by the deformation, the virtual life value is changed into 0, and the virtual character is eliminated.

Alternatively, the target virtual life value may be determined according to the distance between the virtual character and the position of the attachment (i.e., the center point where the deformation occurs). That is, the terminal may determine the target virtual life value of the virtual character according to the distance between the virtual character and the attachment position, and control the virtual life value of the virtual character to decrease the target virtual life value.

Alternatively, the target virtual life value may be inversely related to the distance. That is, the larger the distance, the smaller the target virtual life value. The smaller the distance, the larger the target virtual life value.

For example, when two virtual objects are included in the first area, each virtual character has a virtual life value of 200, and one virtual character is closer to the attachment position and the loss of the virtual life value is determined to be 50, and the other virtual character is farther from the attachment position and the loss of the virtual life value is determined to be 30, the virtual life values of the two virtual characters become 150 and 170, respectively.

In one possible implementation, the target virtual life value may be less than a maximum virtual life value of the virtual character. For example, the target virtual life value may be lower than the damage caused by the grenade, and if the virtual life value of the virtual character is attached to the virtual prop and deformed when being at the maximum value, the virtual life value of the virtual character is not reduced to zero, that is, is not eliminated immediately.

For example, as shown in fig. 10, the virtual item collides with a wall 1001 in the virtual scene, does not bounce, but adheres to the wall 1001, explodes immediately, and causes a certain damage to players in an explosion range (i.e., the second area), and the terminal displays an explosion effect 1002. It should be noted that the damage of the virtual item (for example, sticking a burning agent) is lower than that of the torpedo due to explosion, and if the player is full (that is, the virtual life value is at the maximum), the virtual item is stuck and the explosion is not eliminated.

305. And the terminal acquires a first area corresponding to the adhesion position according to the adhesion position.

After the virtual prop deforms, the virtual prop can burn in a range, and the terminal can display a first target special effect in a first area to reflect the burning effect in the range.

As for the first region, the first region may be a region centered on the adhering position. The shape of the second area may be a circle or a sphere, and of course, the second area may also be a square or other shapes, the size of the first area may be a second target size, and the second target size may be set by a person skilled in the art according to the needs, and the size and the shape of the second area are not limited in this application.

In one possible implementation manner, the terminal acquires an area with the adhesion position as the center and the radius as the target radius as the first area corresponding to the adhesion position. The target radius may be set by a person skilled in the art according to requirements, and is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

306. And the terminal displays the first target special effect in the first area.

After the terminal determines the first area, a first target special effect can be displayed in the first area, the type and the effect generated by deformation of the virtual prop can be visually prompted through the first target special effect, and the display effect is better. The user can clearly know that the virtual prop can be burnt in a surrounding area after being deformed through the first target special effect, so that other influences are generated by virtual characters in the area. For example, the combustion can cause sustained damage to the virtual character. Or the first target special effect is only used for prompting that the virtual prop is deformed, and the combustion does not produce other influences on the virtual character. For example, the following description will take the case that the virtual item will continuously damage the virtual character in a certain area after being deformed, which may be specifically referred to in step 307 and step 308.

In one possible implementation, the first target effect may be a flame effect, and may also be other types of effects, such as a continuous flash effect, a continuous explosion effect, a smoke or toxic effect, and the like. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

It should be noted that, step 305 and step 306 are processes of displaying the first target special effect in the first area corresponding to the adhering position, in this process, after the terminal determines the first area according to the adhering position, the terminal can display the first target special effect in the first area, and of course, the terminal may not perform the step of acquiring the first area, but directly display the first target special effect with the adhering position as the center. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit which manner is used.

In a possible implementation manner, the area where the virtual prop burns to damage the virtual character may be the first area, and the virtual character located in the first area is continuously damaged. The terminal may control the virtual life value of any virtual character to be continuously decreased in response to the virtual character being located in the first area.

In another possible implementation manner, the area in which the virtual prop burns to damage the virtual character is a third area different from the first area, and the terminal determines the third area for continuous damage determination. See

steps

307 and 308 below.

307. And the terminal acquires a third area corresponding to the adhesion position according to the adhesion position.

The third area is an injury area after the virtual prop is deformed, and the virtual character in the third area is continuously injured.

Alternatively, the range of the third region may be the same as the range of the first region, that is, the first region and the third region are the same.

Optionally, the first region and the third region may also be different, for example, in a specific possible embodiment, the third region includes the first region, and the third region is larger than the first region. For another example, in another specific possible embodiment, the third area is located within the first area, and the third area is smaller than the first area.

The size and shape of the third region are not limited in the embodiments of the present application, similarly to the first region and the second region. In a specific possible embodiment, the terminal may acquire an area with a radius of the second radius as a third area corresponding to the adhering position, with the adhering position as a center. The second radius may be set by a person skilled in the art according to requirements, for example, the second radius may be the same as, greater than, or less than the target radius of the first area, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

308. And the terminal responds to any virtual character in the third area and controls the virtual life value of the virtual character to continuously reduce.

After the terminal determines the third area, if there is a virtual character in the third area, the virtual character will be continuously damaged, and the terminal may control the virtual life value of the virtual character to be continuously reduced.

In one possible implementation manner, the terminal may control the virtual life value of the virtual character to decrease the target life value every preset time. For example, the terminal may control the virtual life value of the virtual character to be decreased by 20 virtual life values every second.

In one possible implementation, when the virtual character located in the third area is continuously injured, the user controlling the virtual character can be prompted to be injured currently through the second target special effect. Specifically, the terminal may control the virtual life value of the currently controlled virtual character to continuously decrease in response to that the currently controlled virtual character is located in the third area, and display a second target special effect in the user graphical interface, where the second target special effect is used to prompt that the virtual life value of the currently controlled virtual character is decreasing. For example, the second target effect presents a light red color to the user graphical interface, and of course, the second target effect may also be another form of effect, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

For example, as shown in (a) in fig. 11, after the virtual item is deformed, a flame effect 1101 can be displayed around the virtual item, and if the currently controlled virtual character is in an injury area 1102 (i.e., a third area) of the virtual item, a graphical user interface displayed by the terminal appears reddish, and a virtual life value 1103 of the virtual character is reduced. As shown in fig. 11 (b), the damaged region 1102 is a circular region having a radius R with the adhering position as the center, and R is a positive number. In an implementation where the first region and the second region are also circular regions, the first region and the second region are obtained in the same manner as the injury region 1102, except that R may be the same or different.

The virtual objects may be static virtual objects or dynamic virtual objects. For example, some virtual objects (e.g., virtual buildings, etc.) cannot move, i.e., are static virtual objects. For another example, a virtual character or a virtual vehicle can move in a virtual scene, and if the virtual character or the virtual vehicle is currently moving, the virtual character or the virtual vehicle is a dynamic virtual object; if not moving, then it is a static virtual object.

In a possible implementation manner, considering that the virtual object may be a dynamic virtual object, the virtual prop is adhered to the surface of the virtual object, and if the virtual object is moving, the virtual prop can be driven to move, and then the injury area of the virtual prop can move along with the movement. Specifically, the terminal controls the third area to move as the virtual object moves in response to the virtual object moving in the virtual scene. Thus, the virtual character entering the third zone is continuously injured because the third zone may also move. Through the following movement characteristic of the injury area, the adhesion of the virtual prop can be well embodied, the display is more in line with the real situation, and the display effect is better.

In a possible implementation manner, the display duration of the first target special effect is a target duration, and a function that is located in the third area after the target duration and causes damage to the virtual character disappears. The combustion state of the virtual prop is not always kept, a target time length can be set, the virtual prop takes effect within the target time length, and after the target time length, the virtual prop does not have an effect. The target time period may be set by a skilled person as required, for example, the target time period may be 10 seconds. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

As shown in fig. 12, the terminal may perform a step 1201 of controlling a virtual object to equip with a fire-sticking agent (i.e., to stick a combustion agent or the virtual prop), perform a step 1202 of determining whether to press a firing key (i.e., to throw a control), and if so, enter a pre-throw state 1203, where the pre-throw state is a state when the throwing control is not pressed loose, and is a state where the candidate motion trajectory is being adjusted and is not thrown. If not, the terminal continues to detect. After entering the pre-cast state 1203, the terminal may perform a step 1204 of determining whether to release the hand, and if not, the pre-cast state is maintained. If so, the terminal can perform the step 1205 of throwing a fire-adhesive projectile. The terminal may continue to the step 1206 of determining whether an object is encountered, and if the agent does not encounter an object, then it is still in a state where it is thrown, and if it does encounter an object, then the step 1207 of the agent sticking to the surface of the object and exploding (i.e., deforming) to create a burning zone (i.e., a third zone) is performed. The terminal may continue to determine if the object is moving 1208 and, if not, keep the virtual item burning in this burning zone. Whereas if the object moves, the combustion zone follows movement 1209. The terminal may perform a step 1210 of determining whether a target (i.e., a virtual character) enters the burning zone, and if not, continue the detection. If so, the terminal may perform a step 1211 of deducting the damage (i.e., the virtual life value is decreased) for the target. The terminal may continue with the step 1212 of determining whether the combustion zone is over, and if so, the terminal may perform the step 1213 of disappearing the flame effect (i.e., the first target effect). If not, the terminal may continue to detect.

All the above optional technical solutions can be combined arbitrarily to form optional embodiments of the present application, and are not described herein again.
