Detailed Description

In order to make the technical solutions of the present disclosure better understood by those of ordinary skill in the art, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and claims of the present disclosure and in the above-described drawings are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used is interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the disclosure described herein are capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or otherwise described herein. The implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

With the continuous development of internet technology, various electronic games for enriching the entertainment life of users are also continuously developed. In order to better improve the game experience of the player, the game scene is usually set to be in a dynamically changing form so that the player appears to be in the scene.

For example, in some rhythm games, to increase the rhythm of the game, some elements in the game scene may simulate the entity of the element in the real world to perform some corresponding actions based on the rhythm of the background music. For example, a lantern in a game scene swings with wind, and for example, a game character also performs a corresponding specified action according to the rhythm of background music, and for example, some game special effects in a game also perform a corresponding action according to the rhythm of the background music.

As an example, in the related art, in order to make the game character generate corresponding actions according to the rhythm of the background music, the game character and the background music are generally synchronously controlled by a metronome file as shown in fig. 1 a. Because the game role and the background music are controlled by the metronome file, the pictures in the target game can show the phenomenon of sound-picture synchronization under the condition of no pause and the like. For example, at the start of the nth beat in the metronome file, the control drum in the background music sounds, while controlling the game character to perform one action.

Fig. 1a is a first schematic diagram illustrating a metronome file according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in fig. 1a, the metronome file includes a reference time, where the reference time may be a system time of the game client, and each beat occurs in sequence according to its corresponding reference time offset.

As shown in fig. 1a, a solid triangle 11 is a reference time, a solid circle 12 is a beat generation time, and the reference time is 8:00 points, the reference time offset amount corresponding to the nth beat is 3s, and the reference time offset amount corresponding to the N +1 th beat is 6 s. The nth beat will sound at 8:00:03 with the corresponding duration a of 3s, and the (N + 1) th beat will sound at 8:00:06 with the corresponding duration a of 3 s. Wherein, the time periods from 8:00:03 to 8:00:06 are all the time corresponding to the Nth beat. For example, when the nth beat starts at 8:00:03, the control is performed such that a drum point in the background music sounds, and the control is performed such that the game character starts to perform the first action at 8:00: 03.

However, if a pause phenomenon occurs during the running of the electronic game due to a software or hardware problem, it is highly likely that the actual start time of the light blinking is delayed from the predetermined time. For example, as shown in fig. 1b, fig. 1b is a second schematic diagram of a metronome file shown according to an exemplary embodiment. The solid triangle 11 is a reference time, the solid circle 12 is a beat generation time, and the hollow circle 13 is an actual execution time of the motion. The execution time of the first action of the game character is not started at the occurrence time of the nth beat, but is started after the occurrence time of the nth beat is delayed by a certain time (for example, by 0.1s, namely, the long deviation C is 0.1s), so that all subsequent actions of the game character are started after the occurrence time of the beat is delayed by 0.1 s. Therefore, the sound and picture are not synchronous and staggered, and the game experience of the player in the game process is reduced.

Therefore, the present disclosure provides a control method, apparatus, server and storage medium to at least solve the problem of picture-in-picture asynchronism occurring in a game scene in the related art.

In the following, a rhythm game in which a target game is a music game is taken as an example, and a control method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is introduced, where game characters, game visual special effects, and scene elements in the target game all act with the beat of background music. In this way, in order to prevent the problem that the pictures in the game scene are not synchronized due to the fact that the game is jammed in the hardware or software, and the like as much as possible, the first execution time at which the target object in the target game scene starts to execute the target action within the nth beat of the background music is acquired during the running process of the target game, the actual occurrence time of the target action during the interaction between the player and the target game can be determined, and in the case that the time deviation between the first execution time and the preset execution time of the target action is greater than the first preset threshold value, the occurrence delay of the target action can be determined, so that the next action of the target action is controlled to start to execute by calculating the time difference between the reference time offset and the time deviation of the nth beat and controlling the target object to start to execute the next action of the target action after the first execution time is delayed by the time difference, the execution of the next action of the target action is not influenced by the delay of the target action, and the next action can be executed at the corresponding preset execution moment, so that the sound and picture synchronization of the pictures in the game scene can be ensured to a certain extent, and the game experience of the player in the game process is improved.

The control method provided by the present disclosure is described in detail below with reference to fig. 2 to 5.

As shown in fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flow chart illustrating a control method according to an exemplary embodiment. The control method includes steps 210 to 230, which are specifically described below.

First, in step 210, during the process of the player interacting with the target game, a first execution time at which the target object in the scene of the target game starts to execute the target action within the nth beat of the background music is acquired.

Wherein N is a positive integer.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the target game may be a music-like rhythm game, and the target game scene may be a scene including an environment, a building, a prop, and a game character of the game in the target game. The target object may be at least one of a game character, a game visual effect, and a game scene element. The target action may be any action performed by the player character, an action performed by the game effect to generate the effect, or the like.

Wherein, the game role can be a player role or a non-player role; the game visual special effect can be a light and shadow effect in a game, a skill special effect of a player character, a waterfall, a fallen leaf and the like in a scene; the game scene element may be a decoration in the game scene, such as a lantern, a tree, a kite, etc., for decorating the game scene.

The process of the interaction between the player and the target game can be understood as the process that the player plays the game, and can also be understood as the process that the player opens the target game and the target game is in a foreground running state.

In this way, in the process of the interaction between the player and the target game, the control device may obtain a first execution time at which the target object in the target game scene starts to execute the target action within the nth beat of the background music, where the first execution time is an actual execution time of the target action.

Then, in step 220, in the case where the time deviation between the first execution time and the preset execution time of the target action in the nth beat is greater than the first preset threshold, the time length difference between the reference time shift amount and the time deviation in the nth beat is calculated.

Wherein, the reference time offset is obtained from a pre-configured metronome file. During the opening of the game, the metronome file can be built in the Unity game engine using the Lua 5.1 development language. The metronome file includes a series of beat data set according to the background music beats of the target game, each beat data includes a reference time offset, the occurrence time of each beat is determined based on the reference time and the reference time offset, and the preset execution time in each beat is also determined based on the reference time and the reference time offset. The reference time may be a system time of the client of the target game.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first preset threshold may be set according to the use requirement, and the value of the first preset threshold is not limited herein.

Next, taking the target object as the game character and the first preset threshold value as 0s as an example, as shown in fig. 1b, the preset execution time of the target action of the game character in the nth beat is the occurrence time of the nth beat. As can be seen, the time deviation between the target motion of the game character and the occurrence time of the nth beat is greater than the first preset threshold (0s), and thus the time length difference between the reference time offset amount of the nth beat and the time deviation can be calculated.

As an example, if the first preset threshold is 0s, the reference time offset amount of the nth beat is 3s, and the occurrence time of the nth beat is 8:00: 03. The first execution time when the target object starts to execute the target motion in the nth beat of the background music is 8:00:04, and the preset execution time of the target motion in the nth beat is 8:00: 03.

It can be seen that the time difference 1s between the first execution time 8:00:04 and the occurrence time 8:00:03 of the nth beat is greater than the first preset threshold 0s, and thus the time length difference 2s is calculated between the reference time offset 3s and the time difference 1 s.

Then, in step 230, the control target object starts to execute the next action of the target action at the second execution time.

And the second execution time is the corresponding time after the delay time length difference of the first execution time.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the next action of controlling the target object to perform the target action is started at a second execution time after the first execution time by the time delay duration difference.

As an example, taking the first preset threshold as 0s, the reference time offset of the nth beat as 3s, the occurrence time of the nth beat as 8:00:03, and the calculated time difference as 2s as an example, the next action of controlling the target object to execute the target action may be started at the second execution time 8:00:06 after the delay of 2s at 8:00: 04.

Thus, the next action of the target action that can be executed only after the target action is delayed to 8:00:04 and is required to be delayed to 8:00:07 can still be executed according to the preset execution time 8:00:06 in the N +1 th beat.

In the disclosed embodiment, by acquiring a first execution time when a target object in a target game scene starts to execute a target action within an nth beat of background music during the interaction of a player and a target game, the actual occurrence time of the target action during the interaction of the player and the target game can be determined, and in the case that a time deviation between the first execution time and a preset execution time of the target action is greater than a first preset threshold, it can be considered that the occurrence of the target action is delayed, so that by calculating a time length difference between a reference time offset and the time deviation of the nth beat and after the time length difference of the first execution time, the target object is controlled to start executing a next action of the target action, so that the execution of the next action of the target action is not affected by the delay of the target action, and the execution can also start at the corresponding preset execution time, therefore, the sound and picture synchronization of the pictures in the game scene can be ensured to a certain extent.

The above steps 210 to 230 are described in detail with reference to fig. 3 by a specific embodiment.

First, as shown in fig. 3, fig. 3 is a third schematic diagram illustrating a metronome file according to an exemplary embodiment. The solid triangle 31 is the reference time, the solid circle 32 is the time of occurrence of the beat, and the hollow circle 33 is the actual time of occurrence of the motion. The metronome file includes an occurrence time of the nth beat of 8:00:03, a corresponding time length a of 3s, an occurrence time of the N +1 th beat of 8:00:06, a corresponding time length a of 3s, a reference time offset of the nth beat of 3s, a preset execution time of the target motion in the nth beat of 8:00:03, and a preset occurrence time of the next motion of the target motion of 8:00: 06. And, the first preset threshold is 0 s.

Next, during the interaction of the player with the target game, the first execution time when the target object in the target game scene starts to execute the target action within the nth beat of the background music is acquired as 8:00: 04. At this time, if no control is performed, the next action of the target action will be executed at 8:00:07, and delayed from the predetermined execution time 8:00: 06.

Therefore, in order to enable the next action of the target action to be executed at the preset execution time 8:00:06, it is further required that, by setting the preset execution time of the target action in the metronome file to 8:00:03 and setting the corresponding first execution time to 8:00:04 when the target action is actually executed, and calculating that the time deviation between the first execution time and the preset execution time is 1s, and the time deviation is greater than the first preset threshold value 0s, the time length difference between the reference time offset 3s of the nth beat and the time deviation 1s (i.e., the time length deviation C is 1s) can be calculated to be 2s (i.e., the time length B is 2 s).

Thus, at the second execution time 8:00:06 after the delay of 2s from the first execution time 8:00:04, the target object can be controlled to start executing the next action of the target action, so that the next action of the target action is not influenced by the delay of the target action, the next action can still be executed at the preset execution time (the occurrence time of the N +1 th beat) 8:00:06, and since the background music in the game is also played according to the occurrence time of the beat, the sound and picture synchronization of the pictures in the game scene can be realized when the game action is also executed according to the occurrence time of the beat.

According to the above embodiment of the present disclosure, if the preset execution time of the target action is 8:00:03, and the actual first execution time is 8:00:04, when the first preset threshold is 0s, the time difference obtained by calculation is 1s, so that the next action of controlling the target object to execute the target action can be started at the second execution time 8:00:06, and the time period from the first execution time 8:00:04 to the second execution time 8:00:06 is the execution time period corresponding to the target action, and when the target action is not delayed, the corresponding execution time period is 8:00:03 to 8:00:06, it can be seen that the target action is shortened in the corresponding execution time period.

Therefore, in order to avoid that the game picture presents a changing obtrusive feeling to the player due to the shortened execution time period corresponding to the target action, the present disclosure further provides another embodiment to improve the fluency of the game picture and improve the visual experience of the player, specifically please refer to fig. 4.

FIG. 4 is a flow diagram illustrating another control method according to an exemplary embodiment, the control method including:

in the process of the interaction between the player and the target game, a first execution time when the target object in the target game scene starts to execute the target action within the nth beat of the background music is obtained in step 410.

Wherein N is a positive integer.

In step 420, in the case that the time deviation between the first execution time and the preset execution time of the target motion in the nth beat is greater than the first preset threshold, a time length difference between the reference time offset and the time deviation of the nth beat is calculated.

And 430, adjusting preset execution parameters corresponding to the target actions based on the time length difference to obtain target execution parameters.

Step 440, during the period between the first execution time and the second execution time, the control target object executes the target action according to the target execution parameter.

Step 450, the control target object starts to execute the next action of the target action at the second execution time.

In addition, step 410, step 420, and step 450 are the same as step 210, step 220, and step 230 shown in fig. 2, and are not described herein again, and specific implementation manners of step 430 and step 440 will be described in detail below.

By the control method provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, in the process of interaction between a player and a target game, a first execution time at which a target object in a target game scene starts to execute a target action within an nth beat of background music is acquired, so that the actual occurrence time of the target action in the process of interaction between the player and the target game can be determined, and in the case that the time deviation between the first execution time and the preset execution time of the target action is greater than a first preset threshold, it can be considered that delay occurs in the target action. In this way, by calculating the time length difference between the reference time offset and the time deviation of the nth beat and controlling the target object to start executing the next action of the target action after the time length difference is delayed at the first execution time, the execution of the next action of the target action is not affected by the delay of the target action, and the next action of the target action can also start executing at the preset execution time, so that the sound and picture synchronization of the pictures in the game scene can be ensured to a certain extent. And after the duration difference is obtained through calculation, the preset execution parameters corresponding to the target action can be adjusted according to the duration difference to obtain the target execution parameters, and the target object is controlled to execute the target action according to the target execution parameters in the period of the first execution time and the second execution time, so that the situation that the game picture presents a changed sharp feeling to the player due to the shortening of the execution time period corresponding to the target action is avoided as much as possible, the smoothness of the game picture is improved, and the visual experience of the player is improved.

The

above steps

430 and 440 are described in detail with reference to specific embodiments.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the preset execution parameters may include a preset execution speed.

Since the time deviation between the first execution time of the target action and the preset execution time is greater than the first threshold, it can be understood that the execution of the target action is delayed, and the execution time period corresponding to the target action is also shortened because the next action of the target action starts to be executed at the second execution time. In this way, in order to enable the target action to be executed in its entirety even if the execution time period corresponding to the target action is shortened, the target execution speed can be obtained by adjusting the preset execution speed of the target object for the target action, and the target object can be controlled to execute the target action at the target execution speed during the first execution time and the second execution time, so that the target object can execute the target action in its entirety even if the execution time period corresponding to the target action is shortened.

Thus, step 430 may specifically include the following steps:

a product between the ratio and a preset execution speed is calculated, and the product is determined as a target execution speed.

As an example, if the metronome file includes an occurrence time of the nth beat of 8:00:03, an occurrence time of the N +1 th beat of 8:00:06, a reference time offset of the nth beat of 3s, a preset execution time of the target motion in the nth beat of 8:00:03, and a preset occurrence time of the next motion of the target motion of 8:00: 06. And the first preset threshold is 0s, and the preset execution speed is 40 frames/second.

Then, during the process of the player interacting with the target game, the first execution time when the target object in the target game scene starts to execute the target action within the nth beat of the background music is acquired to be 8:00: 04. At this time, by setting the preset execution time of the target action in the metronome file to 8:00:03 and the first execution time 8:00:04 corresponding to the actual execution time, it is possible to calculate that the time deviation between the first execution time and the preset execution time is 1s, and the time deviation is greater than the first preset threshold value 0s, and then it is possible to calculate that the time length difference between the reference time offset 3s and the time deviation 1s of the nth beat is 2 s.

Thus, 3/2 is obtained by calculating the ratio between the difference in the time length and the reference time offset for the nth beat (in some embodiments, the ratio between the difference in the time length and the reference time offset for the nth beat may be referred to as the adjustment magnification of the execution speed).

Next, the product of the ratio 3/2 and the predetermined execution speed 40 frames/second is calculated to obtain 60 frames/second, and 60 frames/second is determined as the target execution speed.

Thus, step 440 specifically includes:

That is, the target object is controlled to perform the target action at the target execution speed of 60 frames/second during the first execution time period 8:00:04 to 8:00:06, so that the target object can perform the target action at a speed up to completion compared with the preset execution speed during the period 8:00:04 to 8:00: 06.

By the control method provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the target action can be accelerated to be executed in an accelerated manner even if the execution time period corresponding to the target action is shortened by adjusting the preset execution speed in the preset execution parameter, so that the situation that the game picture presents a changed sharp feeling to a player due to the shortening of the execution time period corresponding to the target action is avoided as much as possible, the smoothness of the game picture is improved, and the visual experience of the player is improved.

In other embodiments of the present disclosure, when the execution time period corresponding to the target action is shortened, the control target object may also execute a partial action. The method comprises the following specific steps:

in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the target action may include M consecutive first actions, where M is a positive integer greater than 1. The preset execution parameters include a start execution time and an end execution time.

Thus, step 430 may specifically include:

and adjusting the starting execution time to be a first execution time, and adjusting the ending execution time to be a second execution time.

Next, step 440 may specifically include:

at the start execution time, the control target object starts to execute Z first actions out of the M consecutive first actions, and at the end execution time, the control target object stops executing the first actions.

And the execution time length of the Z first actions is associated with the time length difference value, and Z is a positive integer less than or equal to M. For example, the execution time period of the Z first actions may be equal to the time period difference.

As an example, after determining that the first execution time is 8:00:04 and the second execution time is 8:00:06, the start execution time may be adjusted to the first execution time (8:00:04) and the end execution time may be adjusted to the second execution time (8:00: 06). Thus, the target object can be controlled to execute Z first actions within the period of 8:00:04 to 8:00: 06.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the Z first actions may be the first Z consecutive actions of the M consecutive first actions; in other embodiments, the Z first actions may also be any Z actions of the M consecutive first actions.

Wherein, in the case that the Z first actions are any Z actions of the M consecutive first actions, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, after step 430, before step 440, the control method may further include:

z first actions are selected from the M consecutive first actions. Wherein, in some embodiments, the Z first actions may be key actions including those used to characterize the target action.

For example, if the target object is a game character, the key action of the target action may be a necessary action representing skill; if the target object is taken as a game scene element as an example, the key action of the target action may be an action that can indicate that the game scene element dynamically changes. For example, if the game scene element is a lantern, the key action that can represent the target action may be the maximum amplitude of the rolling motion of the lantern on both sides.

In summary, according to the control method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, by controlling the target object to execute Z first actions out of M consecutive first actions, a part of the target actions can be completed by controlling the target object even if the execution time period corresponding to the target action is shortened, so as to avoid as much as possible a situation that the game screen presents a changing obtrusive feeling to the player due to the shortening of the execution time period corresponding to the target action, improve the smoothness of the game screen, and improve the visual experience of the player.

In addition, in other embodiments of the present application, global shifts in the game may also be supported. The reference time offset in the metronome file may be controlled, for example, by time scaling the TimeScale. Taking a rhythm game as an example, if the rhythm game shows an acceleration mode at this time, the reference time offset corresponding to the beats in the metronome file can be reduced through TimeScale; if the rhythm game shows a deceleration mode at this time, the reference time offset corresponding to the beat in the metronome file can be increased by TimeScale.

The control method supporting the global shift will be described in detail with reference to fig. 5.

FIG. 5 is a flow chart illustrating yet another control method according to an exemplary embodiment, the control method including the steps of:

in the process of the interaction between the player and the target game, a first execution time at which the target object in the target game scene starts to execute the target action within the nth beat of the background music is obtained, step 510.

Wherein N is a positive integer.

In step 520, a time difference between the reference time offset and the time deviation of the nth beat is calculated when the time deviation between the first execution time and the preset execution time of the target motion in the nth beat is greater than a first preset threshold.

In step 530, the control target object starts to execute the next action of the target action at the second execution time.

In addition, the steps 510 to 530 are the same as the steps 210 to 230 shown in fig. 2, and are not described herein again.

Step 540, obtain the status value of the target non-player character in the target game.

The target non-player may be a game character that is not manipulated by the player and is being played by the player at the moment, and the corresponding state value may be a life value of the non-player character.

In step 550, the reference time offset of the target beat in the metronome file is adjusted when the state value is smaller than the second preset threshold.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second preset threshold may be preset according to a use requirement, and a specific value of the second preset threshold is not limited in any way. The target number of beats may be a preset number of beats that occur after the state value is less than the second threshold. The preset number can be set according to the use requirement, and the numerical value of the preset number is not specifically limited.

As an example, taking a target game as a rhythm game as an example, if the rhythm game is in a mode that a user performs a corresponding touch operation within an effective determination time corresponding to a beat, some harm may be caused to a non-player character. At this time, the state value of the non-player character may be a life value, and in a case that the life value of the non-player character is smaller than the second preset threshold, it may be understood that the non-player character has been defeated, and at this time, as a reward mechanism for the player, a reference time offset amount of 3 beats occurring after the life value is smaller than the second preset threshold in a metronome file corresponding to the entire rhythm game may be increased, so as to reduce the speed of the entire rhythm game.

In other embodiments of the present disclosure, in addition to adjusting the reference time offset in the metronome file after the state value of the target non-player character is smaller than the second preset threshold, the reference time offset in the metronome file may be adjusted based on the player data, as shown in fig. 5, and the control method may further include the steps of:

step 560, obtain player data in the target game.

The player data may be a game level of the player or a game score of the player.

Step 570, adjusting the reference time offset of the target beat in the metronome file if the data value of the player data is greater than a third preset threshold.

The third preset threshold may be preset according to a use requirement, and a specific value of the third preset threshold is not limited at all.

As an example, if the player data is a player rating, it can be understood that the higher the player rating is, the higher the game difficulty corresponding to the player rating is, and thus, in a case where the player rating is greater than a third preset threshold, the reference time offset of the target beat in the metronome file may be adjusted to be smaller, so as to accelerate the rhythm speed of the rhythm game.

As another example, where the player data is a player's game score, it can be appreciated that a bonus mechanism can be provided to the player when the player's game score is high. That is, when the game is larger than the third preset threshold, the reference time offset of the target tempo in the metronome file may be increased, so as to slow down the tempo of the rhythm game. The target tempo at this time may be a preset number of tempos occurring after the current game score is greater than a third preset threshold value. The preset number can be set according to the use requirement, and the numerical value of the preset number is not specifically limited.

It should be noted that, the

steps

540 and 560 may be executed before the step 510, or may be executed after the step 530, and the execution order of the

steps

540 and 560 is not limited in any way.

By the control method provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the target object can be controlled to start executing the next action of the target action after the delay time length difference at the first execution time, so that the execution of the next action of the target action is not influenced by the delay of the target action, and the next action of the target action can also start executing at the corresponding preset execution time, thereby ensuring the sound and picture synchronization of the pictures in the game scene to a certain extent; the state value of the target non-player character can be acquired, the player data in the target game is acquired, and the reference time offset of the target beat in the metronome file is adjusted under the condition that the state value is smaller than a second preset threshold value or the data value of the player data is larger than a third preset threshold value, so that the reference offset time amount in the metronome file in the target game can be dynamically adjusted according to the operation of the player, and the game experience of the player is improved.
