These terms are only used to distinguish one concept from another. For example, at least one user may be an integer number of users greater than or equal to one, such as one user, two users, three users, and the like. The plurality of users may be two or more, for example, the plurality of users may be two users, three users, or any integer number of users equal to or greater than two.

The embodiment of the application provides a display control method, a display control device, a storage medium and equipment in a virtual world. Illustratively, the method may relate to the field of Cloud technology.

The cloud technology is a hosting technology for unifying series resources such as hardware, software, network and the like in a wide area network or a local area network to realize data calculation, storage, processing and sharing. In addition, the cloud technology can also be a general term of a network technology, an information technology, an integration technology, a management platform technology, an application technology and the like based on cloud computing business model application, can form a resource pool, is used as required, and is flexible and convenient. Cloud computing technology will become an important support. Background services of the technical network system require a large amount of computing and storage resources, such as video websites, picture-like websites and more web portals. With the high development and application of the internet industry, each article may have an own identification mark and needs to be transmitted to a background system for logic processing, data of different levels can be processed separately, and various industry data need strong system background support and can be realized only through cloud computing.

Cloud gaming technology enables light-end devices (Thin clients) with relatively limited graphics processing and data computing capabilities to run high-quality games. In a cloud game scene, a game is not operated in a player game terminal but in a cloud server, and the cloud server renders the game scene into a video and audio stream which is transmitted to the player game terminal through a network. The player game terminal does not need to have strong graphic operation and data processing capacity, and only needs to have basic streaming media playing capacity and capacity of acquiring player input instructions and sending the instructions to the cloud server.

Some noun terms or abbreviations that may be referred to in the embodiments of the present application are described below.

Action role-playing games: the game is a kind of electronic game, and is a game work in which game elements of an action game, a role playing game, and an adventure game are merged. Among them, in an action role-playing game, a skill release of a virtual object (i.e., a game character) is closely related to a user operation.

Hand swimming: broadly refers to games, such as mobile games, that run on a mobile terminal. As an example, the aforementioned mobile terminal includes, but is not limited to, a smart phone or a tablet computer.

Cooling time (Cool Down): the continuous use of the skill in the game requires a certain time interval, and the time interval set by the system is the cooling time. In other words, the cooling time is set to limit the number of times the player uses skill within a certain time. For example, taking the example of skill a having a cooling time of 30 seconds, the player cannot use skill a again within the next 30 seconds after using skill a.

Skill: the main function of the game is to enhance game playing, and the main characteristic of skills is independence and is expressed as being unique to certain game roles. In other words, the main significance of skill in a game is to allow players to intervene in the game in a more liberal manner, and skill is also a way to free or utilize existing resources.

Illustratively, skills may be classified into three categories, passive skills, state skills, and active skills.

A player: in the embodiments of the present application referred to as users. A player may also be referred to as a player, which is a term between the gaming industry and a game participant. Broadly speaking, a player broadly refers to a user playing a game, i.e., a person participating in any form of game. Specifically, in a role-playing game, players play controllable game characters in the game world, and the controllable game characters are operated to complete the game or set goals by themselves. In addition, some players may also be key to a role-playing game or a game scenario. To summarize, players are the experiencers, users, evaluators, and consumers of the game. The types of games that different players enjoy are different according to the differences in characters and preferences.

Virtual world: is a virtual world that is displayed (or provided) when an application program runs on a terminal.

The virtual world can be a simulated world of a real world, can also be a semi-simulated semi-fictional three-dimensional world, and can also be a purely fictional three-dimensional world. The virtual world may be any one of a two-dimensional virtual world, a 2.5-dimensional virtual world, and a three-dimensional virtual world. Optionally, the virtual world is also used for virtual world engagement between at least two virtual characters, in which virtual resources are available for use by the at least two virtual characters.

Virtual object: refers to a movable object in a virtual world. The movable object may be a virtual character, virtual monster, etc., such as: characters, animals, plants, etc. displayed in the virtual world. The virtual object may be an avatar in the virtual world that is virtual to represent a player. A plurality of virtual objects may be included in the virtual world, each virtual object having its own shape and volume in the virtual world, occupying a portion of the space in the virtual world.

Alternatively, when the virtual world is a three-dimensional virtual world, the virtual object may be a three-dimensional stereo model, the three-dimensional stereo model may be a three-dimensional character constructed based on three-dimensional human skeleton technology, and the same virtual object may exhibit different external images by wearing different skins. In some embodiments, the virtual object may also be implemented by using a 2.5-dimensional or 2-dimensional model, which is not limited in this application. Alternatively, the virtual object may be a Player Character controlled by an operation on the client, or may be a Non-Player Character (NPC) provided in the virtual world interaction. Alternatively, the virtual object may be a virtual character that plays a game in a virtual world.

The following describes an implementation environment related to a display control method in a virtual world provided in an embodiment of the present application.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an implementation environment related to a display control method in a virtual world provided in the present application. Referring to fig. 1, the implementation environment includes: terminal 110, server 120.

The terminal 110 is installed and operated with a client 111 supporting a virtual world, and the client 111 may be an ARPG program. When the terminal runs the client 111, a user interface of the client 111 is displayed on a screen of the terminal 110. In the embodiment of the present application, the client is an ARPG game for example.

The terminal 110 is a terminal used by the user 112, and the user 112 uses the terminal 110 to control the virtual character a located in the virtual world to perform activities, and the virtual character a may be referred to as a master virtual character of the user 112.

The terminal 110 may be generally referred to as one of a plurality of terminals, and the embodiment is only illustrated by the terminal 110. The device types of the terminal 110 may include: a smart phone, a tablet computer, an e-book reader, an MP3(Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer III, motion Picture Experts compressed standard Audio Layer 3) player, an MP4(Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer IV, motion Picture Experts compressed standard Audio Layer 4) player, a laptop portable computer, a desktop computer, a smart speaker, a smart watch, etc., but not limited thereto.

Only one terminal is shown in fig. 1, but there are a plurality of other terminals 130 that may access the server 120 in different embodiments. Optionally, there are one or more terminals 130 corresponding to the developer, a development and editing platform supporting the client in the virtual world is installed on the terminal 130, the developer can edit and update the client on the terminal 130, and transmit the updated installation package of the client to the server 120 through a wired or wireless network, and the terminal 110 can download the client installation package from the server 120 to update the client.

In addition, the server 120 may be an independent physical server, a server cluster or a distributed system composed of a plurality of physical servers, or a cloud server providing basic cloud computing services such as a cloud service, a cloud database, cloud computing, a cloud function, cloud storage, a web service, cloud communication, a middleware service, a domain name service, a security service, a CDN (Content Delivery Network), a big data and artificial intelligence platform, and the like. The terminal and the server 120 may be directly or indirectly connected through wired or wireless communication, and the application is not limited thereto.

The server 120 is used for providing background services for clients supporting the three-dimensional virtual world. Optionally, the server 120 undertakes primary computational work and the terminals undertake secondary computational work; alternatively, the server 120 undertakes the secondary computing work and the terminal undertakes the primary computing work; alternatively, the server 120 and the terminal perform cooperative computing by using a distributed computing architecture.

In one possible implementation, the server 120 may include a server 121, and the server 121 includes a processor 122, a user account database 123, a combat service module 124, and an Input/Output Interface (I/O Interface) 125 facing a user.

The processor 122 is configured to load program codes stored in the server 121, and process data in the user account database 123 and the combat service module 124; the user account database 123 is configured to store data of a user account used by the terminal 110 and the other terminals 130, such as a head portrait of the user account, a nickname of the user account, a fighting index of the user account, and a service area where the user account is located; the fight service module 124 is used for providing a plurality of fight rooms for the users to fight against; the user-facing I/O interface 125 is used to establish communication with the terminal 110 through a wireless network or a wired network to exchange data. Optionally, the server 120 may further include other servers, such as the server 126, which is not particularly limited in this embodiment. Illustratively, the display control method in the virtual world provided by the embodiment of the present application may be implemented based on the server 126.

For ARPG, each skill usually has complex effects and values, and different skills may be mutually restricted and influenced. Because of the existence of the discriminant relation among a plurality of skills, if the related skills can be effectively collocated and used within a limited time, explosive damage can be caused to an enemy or a strong gain effect can be brought, and the fighting experience brought by the operation (skill adding operation) is deeply favored by action game players. However, the skills are various, and if all the skills of the virtual object are displayed on the terminal screen at one time, firstly, the number of the skills is too large, the skills may not be enough, secondly, the player is difficult to identify the associated skills among the skills and collocate the skills, and thirdly, the player easily misses the opportunity of the skill collocating. Since this type of game usually requires a high timeliness of the operation, the release of the associated skills needs to be completed within a limited time.

In contrast, the embodiment of the application provides a scheme for quickly performing skill addition operation, which can help a player to quickly identify and release associated skills, so that the maximization of skill effect is realized, and the player can fully experience the fun of games and the pleasure of battles. In this scheme, sub-level skills that can be added are arranged in an auxiliary operation field (also referred to as a skill menu) and collected. In the battle scene, the release of the parent skills is judged, and the auxiliary operation bar is automatically expanded to prompt the player to perform the additional operation of the related child skills.

The method has the advantages that firstly, the shielding of scene pictures can be effectively reduced on the premise of not reducing the number of skills; and the auxiliary operation bar automatically performs triggering display, and can help a player quickly judge the opportunity of the sub skill additional operation. In other words, the present solution eliminates the need for the player to identify and remember which skills are associated with each other and which skills are currently available for additional action. The player can quickly specify the timing of skill addition operation. Active tips are provided to the player whenever skill calling is possible. That is, the present solution does not require the player to remember various associated skills and their release timing.

The following embodiments explain the display control method in the virtual world provided in the embodiments of the present application in detail.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a display control method in a virtual world according to an embodiment of the present application. The main execution body of the method is the terminal 110 shown in fig. 1. Referring to fig. 2, a method flow provided by the embodiment of the present application includes:

201. and displaying a virtual world picture, wherein the virtual world picture comprises a virtual object.

Illustratively, the virtual world picture is a game picture, and a plurality of virtual objects, such as a local player-controlled virtual object and other players (such as an enemy player) controlled virtual object, can be included in the game picture. In particular, the virtual object mentioned in the embodiments of the present application refers to a virtual object controlled by a local player. Wherein, the virtual image can be a virtual character or a virtual animal.

In one possible implementation, when the virtual world view is a battle view, the skill menu 300 (also referred to herein as an auxiliary operating bar) is stowed away at the edge of the screen in the form shown in fig. 3, such as at the right edge of the screen.

202. In response to the virtual object releasing the first parent skill, a skill menu of a first modality is displayed, the skill menu of the first modality being for exposing child skills via a skill option.

Wherein the associated skills refer to skills that enable collocation use within a defined time. And by effectively matching and using the associated skills within a limited time, explosive damage to the enemy can be caused or a powerful gain effect can be brought. For example, if the virtual object releases skill a and then releases skill B within a defined time, and the combination of the two causes explosive damage to enemies or brings about a powerful gain effect, then skill a is a parent skill and skill B is a child skill.

In one possible implementation, referring to fig. 4, the first configuration is an expanded configuration. Accordingly, a skill menu of a first modality is displayed, comprising: superposing and displaying a skill menu in an expanded form in a virtual world picture; wherein the skill menu in the expanded configuration is used to present M skill options. And in the M skill options, a first skill option is displayed in a form different from other skill options, wherein M is a positive integer, and the other skill options and the first parent skill have no association relation in skill release.

Illustratively, the first skill option is presented in a form distinguished from other skill options, which may be: the first skill option is presented in a highlighted form and the other skill options are presented in a non-highlighted form.

It should be noted that, there may be one or more sub-skills that are associated with a parent skill, that is, there are one or more skill options that need to be presented differently in the M skill options.

As shown in fig. 4, the lower right corner of the game interface shows skills a to J, and during the battle, the virtual object in the game interface uses a skill G, and the skill G is a parent skill, and there are sub-skills that can be used in combination, so the skill menu 300 is expanded from the form of fig. 3 to the form of fig. 4. In fig. 4, two skill options are included in the skill menu 300, skill option 1 and skill option 2, respectively. If the sub-level skill indicated by skill option 2 is a sub-level skill of skill G, then the skill option 2 is presented in a manner distinct from skill option 1, such as the skill option 2 being highlighted in the skill menu 300.

For this step, if the virtual object uses a parent skill, then the skills menu 300 automatically expands and highlights the child skills that are currently available for additional action.

In another possible implementation manner, after the virtual object releases the skill G, as shown in fig. 4, a skill cooling time of the skill, for example, 10s (seconds), may be displayed in an overlapping manner on the skill icon, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

203. And in response to the selection of the first skill option in the skill menu, controlling the virtual object to release the first sub-level skill indicated by the first skill option.

Wherein there is an associative relationship between the first child skill and the first parent skill in skill release.

In ARPG, the release of the associated skills is typically required to be completed in a short time, i.e., the associated skills are required to be collocated for a defined time, which is referred to herein as a first duration. Illustratively, the time origin of the first length of time is the time at which the parent skills are released.

In the embodiment of the application, since the first parent skill and the first child skill have an association relationship in skill release, after the first skill option is displayed in the skill menu 300 in a differentiated manner, if the local player triggers the first skill option within the first time duration, it is determined that the local player controls the virtual object to release the first parent skill, and then the first child skill is released again, so that the maximization of the skill effect is realized through the collocation use of the associated skills, and the player can fully experience the fun of the game and the smooth feeling of fighting.

In another possible implementation manner, referring to fig. 5, an embodiment of the present application further includes the following steps:

204. in the skill menu of the first modality, a skill state, a skill duration, and a skill cooling time of the first sub-level skill are displayed.

In the embodiment of the present application, after the skill adding operation is performed, the skill menu 300 displays the skill state, the skill duration and the skill cooling time of the corresponding sub-level skill.

For example, the skill state may be used to indicate that the corresponding sub-level skill is currently in an active state. Wherein, the skill duration can also be called as effect duration, and is used for representing the duration of the corresponding sub-level skill.

Additionally, skill duration and skill cooling time may be in the form of a countdown that is constantly changing. For example, suppose the skill duration of the first sub-level skill is 20s, the skill cooling time is 50 s; at the time of release of the sub-level skills, the skill duration is shown as 00:20, and the skill cooling time is 50 s; the time values displayed by the skill duration and the skill cooling time are reduced to zero as time passes.

In addition, the skill duration may also be in a form of continuously changing positive timing, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

As an example, the skill state, skill duration, and skill cooling time may be displayed on or around the corresponding skill option. Illustratively, referring to fig. 6, CD time "48" is displayed superimposed right in the center of the skill option 2 icon, while skill duration "00: 19" is displayed right below the skill option 2 icon.

205. And in a first time length, in response to not obtaining the selected operation of the target skill option, hiding the skill menu, wherein the target skill option and the first parent skill have an association relation in skill release.

The target skill options include a first skill option, which is a subset of the target skill options, since a parent skill may be associated with multiple child skills.

In the embodiment of the present application, if the skill adding operation is not triggered by the local player after the limited time of the skill adding operation is exceeded, the terminal automatically hides the skill menu 300, and the skill menu 300 returns to the form shown in fig. 3.

The method provided by the embodiment of the application has the following beneficial effects:

In another embodiment, after the player completes the skill adding operation, the terminal may cyclically detect whether other adding operations are currently available. If no other additional operation can be performed currently, the skill menu is automatically switched from the first form to the second form after a period of time.

Illustratively, the second modality is the abbreviated modality shown in fig. 7, and the CD time of the first sub-skill is abbreviated and displayed through the skill menu of the abbreviated modality; and if other additional operations can be carried out currently, continuously expanding the skill menu, and based on the finally activated skill, re-acquiring the display time of the skill menu.

Note that the contracted form is different from the collapsed state (also referred to as a hidden state) of the skill menu 300 shown in fig. 3 and the expanded state of the skill menu 300 shown in fig. 4. For the abbreviated modality, it is to display only the skill options selected by the user through the skill menu 300.
