The number of terminals and the type of the device are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

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

200. The terminal acquires a target area and a current first position of a controlled virtual object, and the virtual life value of the virtual object located outside the target area is continuously reduced.

The first position is the position of the controlled virtual object in the virtual scene when the target path is determined. I.e. the position of the controlled virtual object in the virtual scene when it is necessary to determine whether the path planning of the controlled virtual object is required. The controlled virtual object is a virtual object controlled by the terminal.

For the destination area, the virtual objects located outside the destination area may be damaged, and the virtual life value of the virtual objects continuously decreases. If the virtual life value of a virtual object decreases to zero, the virtual object is eliminated from the virtual scene. When the virtual object in the target area is not attacked by other virtual objects or attack type virtual props, the virtual life value is not changed.

In some embodiments, the destination area may be referred to as a "safe area" to indicate that the virtual object is safe when located in the destination area and is damaged when located outside the destination area. For example, in an electronic game scene, at intervals, a target area is refreshed in a virtual scene, the virtual life value of a virtual object located outside the target area is continuously reduced, and the virtual object located in the target area is not affected.

In some embodiments, in step 200, the electronic device may perform the position acquisition shown in step 200 when the destination area is refreshed, so as to determine whether a path needs to be planned. Specifically, the electronic device may acquire the destination area and the first location in response to the destination area update instruction. Of course, if the path needs to be re-planned subsequently, the step 200 may be performed again to re-determine whether the path needs to be planned.

201. And the terminal responds that the first position is positioned outside the destination area, and acquires a target path in the virtual scene according to the first position and the destination area, wherein the target path is a path from the first position to the destination area in the virtual scene.

After the terminal acquires the first position and the target area, whether the first position is located in the target area or not can be judged, the judgment results are different, and steps required to be executed by the terminal can be different. It can be understood that, if the first location is located in the destination area, and the controlled virtual object is located in the destination area, the virtual life value of the controlled virtual object is not affected, and naturally, the path does not need to be planned, and the terminal may not perform any step, or discard the obtained first location and the destination area. If the first position is located outside the target area, the virtual life value of the controlled virtual object is continuously reduced if the controlled virtual object is located outside the target area. In order to avoid being eliminated, the controlled virtual object needs to move to the destination area and enter the destination area. Therefore, the terminal can plan a target path for the controlled virtual object to assist the controlled virtual object to move to the target area.

Wherein, the starting point of the target path is the first position, and the end point is the destination area. For the destination, the terminal may perform path planning by using any position in the destination area as the destination, and the determined destination of the target path is a position in the destination area. The end point may also be obtained according to a position marking operation of the user, for example, when the user marks a certain position, the terminal determines that the marked position is within the destination area, and then the end point may be used as the end point to plan a path for the user, and a target path from the first position to the marked position is planned.

The target path is a path automatically planned by the terminal for the user, and compared with a mode that the user roughly deduces the moving direction according to subjective feeling, the target path is more accurate and can assist the controlled virtual object to move, so that the user does not need to determine the path by himself, convenience is provided for the user operation, and the user operation difficulty is simplified.

202. And the terminal displays direction indication information corresponding to the position of the controlled virtual object in the visual field picture of the controlled virtual object along with the position change of the controlled virtual object according to the target path and the visual angle of the virtual scene, wherein the direction indication information is used for indicating the moving direction of the controlled virtual object when moving to the target area.

After the terminal acquires the target path, a movement instruction can be provided for a user in real time according to the position change of the virtual object in a direction instruction information mode. The direction indicating information can intuitively and clearly indicate which direction the user moves to, so that the user can directly know how to control the controlled virtual object without analyzing the target path by himself or herself.

When the controlled virtual object moves in the virtual scene, the controlled virtual object may move according to the target path, and after the position is changed, the position of the controlled virtual object is still on the target path. There is also a possible scenario: after the controlled virtual object moves, the controlled virtual object deviates from the target path, and the position of the controlled virtual object is not on the target path. The position of the controlled virtual object refers to the real-time position of the controlled virtual object. When the positions of the controlled virtual objects are different, the direction indication information provided for the controlled virtual objects may be different according to the target path.

Specifically, if the controlled virtual object is on the target path, the direction indication information is used to indicate which direction the controlled virtual object needs to move to when the controlled virtual object is at the current position, so as to move to the destination area according to the target path. If the controlled virtual object is not on the target path, the direction indication information is used for indicating the direction to which the controlled virtual object needs to move at the current position to move to the target path, so that the controlled virtual object can move to the target area according to the target path.

In the embodiment of the application, on one hand, when the controlled virtual object is located outside the target area, the target path is planned for the controlled virtual object in a path planning mode to assist the controlled virtual object to move to the target area, so that a user does not need to determine a route by himself or herself, convenience is provided for user operation, and the user operation difficulty is simplified. On the other hand, the method for indicating the direction visually and clearly indicates which direction the controlled virtual object needs to move to in a direction indicating information mode, so that the controlled virtual object can move according to the target path, the difficulty of controlling the movement of the controlled virtual object can be simplified, the information displayed in the interface is enriched, the information content of the interface is improved, and the display effect is improved.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 2, when the target path is acquired, the end point of the target path may include the following two cases.

In the first case, the end point is an arbitrary position within the destination area. The interface display flow in this first case will be described below with reference to the embodiment shown in fig. 3.

In the second case, the endpoint is a user-selected location. The interface display flow in this second case will be described below with reference to the embodiment shown in fig. 18.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart of an interface display method provided in an embodiment of the present application, and referring to fig. 3, the method includes the following steps.

301. The terminal acquires a target area and a first position of the controlled virtual object, and the virtual life value of the virtual object located outside the target area is continuously reduced.

In the embodiment of the application, the target area can be refreshed in the virtual scene every other period of time or when a target event occurs in the virtual scene, the virtual life value of the virtual object located outside the target area is continuously reduced, and the virtual object located in the target area is not affected. The user needs to control the virtual object to move into the destination area, otherwise the virtual life value of the virtual object outside the destination area is continuously reduced until the virtual life value is reduced to zero.

For example, in an electronic game scenario, the destination area may be referred to as a "safe zone," and during a period of time after the electronic game is played, the destination area may not exist in the virtual scenario. After this time, a destination area is refreshed in the virtual scene. The user needs to control the virtual object to reach the target area, otherwise, the virtual life value of the virtual object outside the target area is continuously reduced until the virtual life value is reduced to zero, and the virtual life value is eliminated. And after a period of time, the target area is updated in the virtual scene, and the size of the updated target area is smaller than that of the previous target area. The updated destination area may be located within the previous destination area. The user needs to control the virtual object to reach the updated destination area. In some embodiments, the area outside the target area in these video game scenes may also be referred to as a "poison circle" to visually express the phenomenon of reducing the virtual life value when the virtual object is outside the target area.

In some embodiments, this step 301 may be performed when the terminal receives a destination area update instruction, in response to the destination area update instruction. For the destination area update instruction, the destination area update instruction may be triggered periodically or according to a target event in the virtual scene, for example, the destination area update instruction may be triggered when the number of virtual objects in the virtual scene is less than a first number threshold. For another example, the destination area update instruction may be triggered when a number of culled virtual objects in the virtual scene is greater than a second number threshold. For another example, the destination area update instruction may be triggered when the number of elimination of other virtual objects by any virtual object in the virtual scene reaches a third number threshold. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the trigger condition of the target area update instruction.

In other embodiments, this step 301 may be triggered by a path determination operation by the user. When the terminal detects the path determination operation, the terminal may acquire the destination area and the first position in response to the path determination operation, and then perform the subsequent steps.

In this embodiment, the terminal can obtain the destination area and the first position of the controlled virtual object to automatically perform path planning for the controlled virtual object, and assist in controlling the controlled virtual object to move to the destination area. When planning a path, any position in a destination area can be used as an end point, and a target path is finally determined, wherein the end point of the target path is a certain position in the destination area. The terminal can also perform path planning based on the position marked by the user, and the embodiment of the application does not limit which way is specifically adopted.

302. And the terminal responds that the first position is positioned outside the destination area, and acquires a target path in the virtual scene according to the first position and the destination area, wherein the target path is a path from the first position to the destination area in the virtual scene.

After the terminal acquires the target area and the first position required by path planning, the starting point and the end point can be determined, and path planning is carried out by combining a virtual scene. For the end point, the controlled virtual object may reach the target area, and any position in the target area may be used as the end point. Specifically, which position in the destination area the end point is, may be determined in the process of determining the target path, where the target path is determined, and the end point is also determined.

In some embodiments, the target path is obtained by connecting places which can be run in the virtual scene. Some locations in the virtual scene may enable the virtual object to pass through, and other locations may not enable the virtual object to pass through. That is, the virtual scene may include a place where the user can pass through, or a place where the user cannot pass through. An obstacle may exist at the no-pass location. For example, the virtual scene includes some obstacles such as virtual buildings, virtual trees, or virtual hills, through which the virtual object cannot pass. And virtual roads, virtual plains, virtual fields, virtual oceans and the like in the virtual scene allow the virtual objects to pass. The description is given for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to limit the present application. For example, some virtual hills may also allow virtual objects to pass through.

In these embodiments, when the terminal acquires the target route, the terminal may first acquire a map of the virtual scene, the starting point, and the ending point, where the map of the virtual scene includes a place that can be traveled, and then the terminal performs a route search according to the place that can be traveled between the starting point and the ending point in the map by using the first position in the map as the starting point and any position in the destination area as the ending point, so as to obtain at least one candidate route, and a route with a shortest length in the at least one candidate route is used as the target route.

In the searching process, the map of the virtual scene comprises a plurality of places, after the terminal acquires the map of the virtual scene, the starting point and the end point are places which can be run in the virtual scene, and then a path which is connected to the destination area from the first position is determined by selecting the places which can be run in the map. The target route is a route from the first position to connect a plurality of places to the target area. The target path is a path which can be passed by the controlled virtual object.

In some embodiments, the map of the virtual scene further includes a no-pass location. When the route is planned, the terminal can avoid the place where the passing is forbidden, and the route search is carried out by taking the place where the passing is allowed as the basis, so that the obtained positions on the target route are all the places where the controlled virtual object can pass, and the situation of detour caused by blockage of a barrier can not occur if the controlled virtual object moves along the target route, thereby greatly providing convenience for the movement of the controlled virtual object.

In the route search, a target condition for the route search can be set, and a route satisfying the target condition can be set as the target route. When searching for a route, the terminal connects different points to reach a destination area from a first position, and a plurality of candidate routes can be obtained. The lengths of the different candidate paths may be different or the same.

In some embodiments, the target condition may be the shortest length. Therefore, the time spent on moving according to the target path is less than that spent on moving according to other candidate paths, and the controlled virtual object can reach the target area most quickly.

It should be noted that the number of the target paths may be one or multiple, that is, the number of the target paths is at least one. For example, when multiple candidate paths are obtained through path search, if there may be one candidate path among the multiple candidate paths that is the shortest, the shortest candidate path may be used as the target path. For another example, when multiple candidate paths are obtained through path search, if there may be N shortest candidate paths among the multiple candidate paths, and the N shortest candidate paths have the same length, then the N shortest candidate paths may all be taken as the target path. Wherein N is an integer greater than 1.

In the route search, a map of the virtual scene may be used as a graph, points that can be traveled in the map may be used as nodes of the graph, and a route between the points that can be traveled may be an edge of the graph. In some embodiments, the weight of the edge in the graph may be 1, and may also be determined according to the attribute information of the route between the locations corresponding to the nodes. For example, taking the first node and the second node as an example, the weight may be relatively large if the path from the first node to the second node is an ascending path, and the weight may be relatively small if the path from the second node to the first node is a descending path.

Therefore, in step 302, the terminal may use a point in the map of the virtual scene as a node of the graph, use a route between the points as an edge of the graph, determine the weight of the edge using the attribute information of the route, search for a route connecting two nodes corresponding to the first position and the destination area, and use the shortest route as the target route.

In one possible implementation, the map of the virtual scene may be a coordinate graph, and the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the coordinate graph correspond to the length and width of the virtual scene. That is, the coordinate map corresponds to an overhead view of the virtual scene. For example, the overhead view of the virtual scene may be mesh divided, with the vertex of each mesh as a location in the virtual scene. The side length of each grid may be the target pixel. The target pixel may be set by a relevant technician as required, or may be adjusted according to a path planning fineness adjustment operation, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In one possible implementation manner, the path searching process may be implemented in a breadth-first search manner. The breadth-first search, also called breadth-first search, is one of the simplest graph search algorithms. A graph G = (V, E) and one source vertex s are known, where G is a graph, V denotes a set of vertices, and E denotes a set of edges. Breadth-first search explores the edges of G in a systematic way, finding all vertices that s can reach, and calculating the distance s to all these vertices (the minimum number of edges), the algorithm can also generate a breadth-first tree rooted at s and including all the reachable vertices. For any vertex v reachable from vertex s, the path from s to v in the breadth-first tree corresponds to the shortest path from s to v in graph G, i.e., the path containing the smallest number of edges. The algorithm is equally applicable to directed graphs and undirected graphs. This is called breadth first algorithm because the algorithm expands all the way out through the boundary between found and unseen vertices, i.e., the algorithm first searches all vertices with s distance k and then searches other vertices with s distance k + l. k is a positive number.

The breadth first search algorithm is explained below with reference to fig. 4. For example, the best path finding method is also a shortest path finding method based on coordinate points. As shown in fig. 4, the player moves from the start position of number (1) to the safe zone position of number (9). With the graph computation algorithm, according to breadth-first search, there are 2 paths that are also reached quickly, which can follow: (1) - > (2) - > (4) - > (7) - > (9), and may be along (1) - > (2) - > (5) - > (8) - > (9).

For example, as shown in fig. 5, a first position 501 of a controlled virtual object of a virtual scene is taken as a starting point, a destination area is named as a safe area 502, a point in the safe area 502 is taken as an end point, and some obstacles exist between the first position 501 and the safe area 502: building 503, tree 504, and hill 505. The terminal may use the first position 501 as a starting point, perform a path search starting from the starting point, and perform a search in a way of increasing the path length, so that by the path search, when the end point is searched to be an end point in the secure area, the target path 506 can be searched, and the length of the target path 506 is the shortest, and the controlled virtual object can reach the secure area quickly by the target path 506.

It should be noted that the process of acquiring the start point and the end point is also the step 301, and the terminal may acquire the map of the virtual scene in step 302 and acquire the target route based on the three. In this embodiment, the above description is only for the end point

For an example of an arbitrary position in the destination area, the end point of the target path may also be a position selected by the user, that is, the second case, and specifically, reference may be made to the embodiment shown in fig. 18 below, which is not described herein too much.

303. And the terminal displays the direction indication information in a visual field picture of the controlled virtual object according to the target path, the first position and the visual angle of the virtual scene.

In step 303, the controlled virtual object is not changed in position, and the controlled virtual object is still located at the first position, so that the terminal can determine how to provide the direction indication for the user according to the first position. In step 303, the direction indication information is used to indicate a moving direction at the first position when the controlled virtual object moves along the target path.

When the controlled virtual object is controlled to move, if the controlled virtual object is controlled to advance, the moving direction of the controlled virtual object is consistent with the visual angle of the virtual scene. Thus, the perspective of the virtual scene coincides with the orientation of the controlled virtual object and with the direction of progress of the controlled virtual object.

After the target path is acquired, the terminal may determine whether a current forward direction of the controlled virtual object is consistent with a direction indicated by the target path. The advancing direction can be represented by a visual angle of a virtual scene, the first position is located on the target path, and a direction indicated by the target path is a tangential direction of the first position on the target path.

The terminal may display, according to a first relationship between the angle of view of the virtual scene and the direction indicated by the target path, direction indication information corresponding to the first relationship in the view screen of the controlled virtual object.

When the first relationship is different, it is necessary to indicate that the direction of the controlled virtual object may be different. Specifically, the following two cases may be included in this step 303.

The first condition is as follows: and the terminal responds to the visual angle of the virtual scene and the direction indicated by the target path, and displays first direction indication information in the visual field picture of the controlled virtual object, wherein the first direction indication information is used for indicating that the controlled virtual object moves forwards.

Case two: and the terminal responds to the fact that the visual angle of the virtual scene is not consistent with the direction indicated by the target path, and displays second direction indication information corresponding to the target rotation direction in a visual field picture of the controlled virtual object according to the target rotation direction, wherein the second direction indication information is used for indicating that the controlled virtual object rotates leftwards or rightwards, and the visual angle of the virtual scene is consistent with the direction indicated by the target path after rotating for a target angle smaller than 180 degrees along the target rotation direction.

In case two, the visual angle of the virtual scene is not consistent with the direction indicated by the target path, and specifically, whether the controlled virtual object rotates left or right is indicated, and it is necessary to determine which side the controlled virtual object rotates to enable the two to be consistent with each other most quickly. Specifically, the following two possible scenarios may be included.

Possible scenarios are one: and the terminal responds to the visual angle of the virtual scene, and displays third direction indication information in a visual field picture of the controlled virtual object after rotating the target angle anticlockwise and then the direction indicated by the target path is consistent, wherein the third direction indication information is used for indicating the controlled virtual object to rotate leftwards.

Possible scenario two: and the terminal responds to the visual angle of the virtual scene, and displays fourth direction indication information in the visual field picture of the controlled virtual object after the visual angle of the virtual scene is clockwise rotated by the target angle and then is consistent with the direction indicated by the target path, wherein the fourth direction indication information is used for indicating the controlled virtual object to rotate rightwards.

In some embodiments, the first relationship may be a first angle between a perspective of the virtual scene and a direction indicated by the target path. Whether the visual angle of the virtual scene is consistent with the direction indicated by the target path or not can be determined through a comparison result of the first included angle and an angle threshold, and when the target rotation direction is determined, the target angle is also the first included angle. The terminal may obtain a first included angle between the viewing angle of the virtual scene and the direction indicated by the target path, and display direction indication information corresponding to the first included angle in the view picture of the controlled virtual object.

Specifically, the terminal may display, in a view picture of the controlled virtual object, direction indication information corresponding to a first included angle according to the first included angle between the view angle of the virtual scene and the tangential direction at the first position on the target path. Wherein the first included angle is less than 180 degrees.

When the first included angles are different, the direction indication information may be different. In some embodiments, the direction indication information includes first direction indication information, second direction indication information, or third direction indication information, and the direction indication information may be text, an image, or a special effect animation. Specifically, this step 303 may include the following three cases.

In the first case, the terminal responds that the first included angle is smaller than the angle threshold, and displays first direction indication information in a visual field picture of the controlled virtual object, wherein the first direction indication information is used for indicating the controlled virtual object to move forwards.

In this case, the first included angle is smaller than the angle threshold, and the viewing angle of the virtual scene may be considered to be consistent with the tangential direction at the first position on the target path. Thus, the controlled virtual object can move forward along the target path, and therefore, the terminal can display the first direction indication information to indicate the user to control the controlled virtual object to move forward. The first condition corresponds to a condition that the viewing angle of the virtual scene is consistent with the direction indicated by the target path.

For example, as shown in fig. 6, when the virtual scene is viewed from top to bottom, the terminal determines a target path 603 from a first position 601 of the controlled virtual object to the safe zone 602, and the terminal may obtain a first included angle 606 between a viewing angle 604 of the virtual scene and a tangential direction 605 (i.e., a direction indicated by the target path) at the first position 601 on the target path 603. If the first angle 606 is smaller than the angle threshold, the advancing direction of the controlled virtual object is substantially the same as the tangential direction 605, and the controlled virtual object is controlled to advance. Thus, as shown in fig. 7, the terminal may display the first direction indication information 700, and the first direction indication information 700 may be a plurality of forward direction arrow icons.

And in a second situation, the terminal responds that the first included angle is larger than or equal to the angle threshold value, and the visual angle of the virtual scene is consistent with the tangential direction after the first included angle is rotated anticlockwise, and displays second direction indication information in a visual field picture of the controlled virtual object, wherein the second direction indication information is used for indicating the controlled virtual object to rotate left.

In the second case, if the first included angle is greater than or equal to the angle threshold, it can be considered that the viewing angle of the virtual scene is not consistent with the tangential direction (i.e. the direction indicated by the target path) at the first position on the target path. When the two are not consistent, the visual angle and the tangential direction of the virtual scene can be judged, and how to adjust the visual angle of the virtual scene to enable the two to be consistent.

For example, as shown in fig. 8, when the virtual scene is viewed from top to bottom, the terminal determines a target path 803 from the first position 801 of the controlled virtual object to the safety zone 802, and the terminal may obtain a first angle 806 between a viewing angle 804 of the virtual scene and a tangential direction 805 (i.e., a direction indicated by the target path) at the first position 801 on the target path 803. The first angle 806 is greater than the angle threshold, and the user needs to control the controlled virtual object to turn so that the forward direction of the controlled virtual object is consistent with the tangential direction 805 to control the controlled virtual object to move along the target path 803. When turning, the virtual scene can be rotated from the perspective 804 to the tangential direction 805 by rotating the first angle 806 counterclockwise. Fig. 8 is an overhead view from top to bottom, and for a controlled virtual object in a virtual scene, the process of counterclockwise rotation is also the process of left rotation of the controlled virtual object. As shown in fig. 9, the terminal may display second direction indication information 900, and the second direction indication information 900 may include a plurality of left direction arrow icons 9001 and a left-turning direction indication icon 9002. The left directional arrow icons 9001 can be displayed on a target path, which can be seen by a user.

And in response to the fact that the first included angle is larger than or equal to the angle threshold value and the visual angle of the virtual scene is consistent with the tangential direction after the first included angle is clockwise rotated, the terminal displays third direction indicating information in a visual field picture of the controlled virtual object, wherein the third direction indicating information is used for indicating the controlled virtual object to rotate rightwards.

In the third case, if the first included angle is greater than or equal to the angle threshold, it may be considered that the viewing angle of the virtual scene is not consistent with the tangential direction (i.e. the direction indicated by the target path) at the first position on the target path. When the two are not consistent, the visual angle and the tangential direction of the virtual scene can be judged, and how to adjust the visual angle of the virtual scene to enable the two to be consistent.

The second case and the third case are the second case corresponding to the direction indicated by the viewing angle of the virtual scene and the target path being inconsistent.

For example, as shown in fig. 10, when looking down the virtual scene from top to bottom, the terminal determines a target path 1003 from a first position 1001 of the controlled virtual object to the safe area 1002, and the terminal may obtain a first angle 1006 between a viewing angle 1004 of the virtual scene and a tangential direction 1005 (i.e., a direction indicated by the target path) at the first position 1001 on the target path 1003. If the first included angle 1006 is greater than the angle threshold, the user needs to control the direction of the controlled virtual object to be rotated, so that the advancing direction of the controlled virtual object is consistent with the tangential direction 1005, and the controlled virtual object can be controlled to move along the target path 1003. When turning, the angle of view 1004 of the virtual scene needs to be turned to the tangential direction 1005 by turning the first angle 1006 clockwise. Fig. 10 is a top-down overhead view, and for a controlled virtual object in a virtual scene, the clockwise rotation process is the process of rotating the controlled virtual object to the right. As shown in fig. 11, the terminal may display third direction indication information 1100, and the third direction indication information 1100 may include a plurality of direction arrow icons 1101 to the right and a direction indication icon 1102 to turn to the right. The right direction arrow icons 1101 can be displayed on the target path, and the user can see the target path.

As for the angle threshold, the angle threshold may be set by a person skilled in the art as needed, for example, the angle threshold is 5 degrees, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In one possible implementation, a display style may be set for the direction indication information. Specifically, when displaying the direction instruction information, the terminal may display the direction instruction information in a target display style on a visual field screen of the controlled virtual object.

Wherein, the target display style may include at least one of a shape, a color, a display special effect, and a transparency of the direction indication information. For example, for the shape, the direction indication information may be a direction arrow icon, or a triangular direction indication icon in which a direction is displayed. For example, the color of the direction indication information may be green, yellow, red, or the like. For another example, the display special effect may be a blinking special effect, a highlighting special effect, or the like. For another example, the transparency may be 50%, or may be other values. The target display sample can be set by a related technician, and can also be adjusted by a user according to the use habit of the user. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

In the mode that the target display style is adjusted by the user according to the use habit of the user, the target display style is determined according to the style adjustment operation. If the user wants to adjust the target display style, a style adjustment operation can be performed on the terminal, and the terminal detects the style adjustment operation and can adjust the target display style in response to the style adjustment operation.

In one possible implementation, when the target display style includes displaying a special effect, the direction indication information may be displayed in accordance with the target special effect. In step 303, the terminal displays the direction instruction information in accordance with the target special effect on the visual field screen of the controlled virtual object. For example, the target special effect may be a blinking special effect, and as shown in fig. 12, the displayed direction indication information is taken as first direction indication information, the first direction indication information is a plurality of forward direction arrow icons 1201, and the plurality of forward direction arrow icons 1201 present the blinking special effect. The blinking manner of the blinking special effect can be set by the related technical personnel according to the requirement, for example, blinking once per second, or blinking three times per second, or blinking once every two seconds, and the like. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

In one possible implementation, when the target display style includes transparency, the direction indication information may be displayed in accordance with the target transparency. In step 303, the terminal displays the direction instruction information in accordance with the target transparency on the visual field screen of the controlled virtual object. For example, the target transparency may be 50%, and the target transparency may be set by a related technician as required, or adjusted by a user according to own usage habits, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

In one possible implementation, a target display position may be set for direction indication information displayed on the target display position in the visual field of the controlled virtual object. When displaying the direction instruction information, the terminal may display the direction instruction information at a target display position in the visual field screen of the controlled virtual object.

In one possible implementation, the target display position is determined according to the type of the direction indication information. The direction indication information may include first direction indication information, second direction indication information, and third direction indication information, and different direction indication information may correspond to different target display positions. In some embodiments, the target display position corresponding to the first direction indication information is a first target display position, the target display position corresponding to the second direction indication information is a second target display position, and the target display position corresponding to the third direction indication information is a third target display position. For example, as shown in fig. 7, 9 and 11, the position where the first direction indication information 700 is displayed may be a first target display position, the position where the second direction indication information 900 is displayed may be a second target display position, and the position where the third direction indication information 1100 is displayed may be a third target display position.

In these embodiments, the target display position is determined based on the target path, the current first position of the controlled virtual object, and the perspective of the virtual scene. In step 303, the terminal may determine the direction indication information and the target display position of the direction indication information according to the target path, the position of the controlled virtual object (the first position in step 303, and the real-time position of the controlled virtual object after the position of the subsequent controlled virtual object changes), and the angle of view of the virtual scene; and displaying the direction indication information on the target display position in the visual field picture of the controlled virtual object.

304. And the terminal responds to the position change of the controlled virtual object and acquires the position of the controlled virtual object.

The terminal can control the controlled virtual object to move in the virtual scene according to the movement control operation of the controlled virtual object, and the position of the controlled virtual object in the virtual scene may change. In this embodiment, the terminal may provide a direction indication for the controlled virtual object in real time according to the real-time position of the controlled virtual object and according to the target path in the moving process of the controlled virtual object.

The terminal may display, in the view of the controlled virtual object, direction indication information corresponding to the position of the controlled virtual object according to the target path and the angle of view of the virtual scene, along with the change of the position of the controlled virtual object, where the direction indication information is used to indicate a moving direction of the controlled virtual object when the controlled virtual object moves to the target area. The direction indication information display process shown in step 304 and step 305 can be applied to any time of the position change process, and only a certain time of the position change process is taken as an example for explanation.

305. And the terminal displays direction indication information in a visual field picture of the controlled virtual object according to the target path, the position of the controlled virtual object and the visual angle of the virtual scene.

In step 305, the direction indication information is used to indicate a moving direction of the controlled virtual object when moving to the destination area. The location of the controlled virtual object may be on the target path or outside the target path. Specifically, if the location of the controlled virtual object is located on the target path, the direction indication information is used to indicate a moving direction of the controlled virtual object at the location of the controlled virtual object when the controlled virtual object moves according to the target path. And if the controlled virtual object is not on the target path, the direction indication information is used for indicating the moving direction of the controlled virtual object moving to the target path at the position of the controlled virtual object.

When the location of the controlled virtual object is located on the target path, that is, when the controlled virtual object is located on the target path, in step 305, the same as step 303 is also performed, and the terminal may respond that the controlled virtual object is located on the target path, and display, in the view screen of the controlled virtual object, direction indication information corresponding to a first relationship according to the first relationship between the viewing angle of the virtual scene and the direction indicated by the target path.

Similarly, if the controlled virtual object is located on the target path, this step 305 includes the following two cases.

Case two: and the terminal responds to the fact that the visual angle of the virtual scene is not consistent with the direction indicated by the target path, and displays second direction indication information corresponding to the target rotation direction in a visual field picture of the controlled virtual object according to the target rotation direction, wherein the second direction indication information is used for indicating that the controlled virtual object rotates leftwards or rightwards, and the visual angle of the virtual scene is consistent with the direction indicated by the target path after rotating for a target angle smaller than 180 degrees along the target rotation direction. Similarly, the second case includes two possible scenarios, which are not described herein.

Specifically, the first relation may be a first included angle, and the process may be: and the terminal responds that the controlled virtual object is positioned on the target path, acquires a first included angle between the visual angle of the virtual scene and the direction indicated by the target path, and displays direction indication information corresponding to the first included angle in a visual field picture of the controlled virtual object. The first included angle is less than 180 degrees. Except that in step 303, the direction indicated by the target path is a tangential direction at the first position on the target path, and in this step 305, the direction indicated by the target path is a tangential direction at the position of the controlled virtual object on the target path. In addition, when determining which kind of direction indication information to display, when determining the target display position, and the target display style of the direction indication information are all the same as those in step 303, which is not described herein again in this embodiment of the present application.

When the position of the controlled virtual object is located outside the target path, that is, when the controlled virtual object is located outside the target path, the terminal takes the direction of the connection line with the shortest distance between the target path and the controlled virtual object as the direction in which the controlled virtual object can reach the target path at the fastest speed, and compares the direction with the view angle of the virtual scene, so as to analyze how to control the controlled virtual object to move to the target path. The direction of the connection line with the shortest distance between the target path and the controlled virtual object is referred to herein as a target connection line direction, and the target connection line direction is the connection line direction between the position of the controlled virtual object and the nearest point on the target path.

Accordingly, in step 305, in response to that the controlled virtual object is located outside the target path, the terminal may display, according to a second relationship between the viewing angle of the virtual scene and a target connection direction, direction indication information corresponding to the second relationship in the viewing screen of the controlled virtual object, where the target connection direction is a direction of a connection line where a distance between the target path and the controlled virtual object is shortest.

When the controlled virtual object is located outside the target path, if it is determined that the second relationship between the view angle of the virtual scene and the target connection mode is different, different direction indication information can be displayed. Specifically, the following two cases may be included.

The first condition is as follows: and the terminal responds that the visual angle of the virtual scene is consistent with the direction of the target connecting line, and displays first direction indication information in a visual field picture of the controlled virtual object, wherein the first direction indication information is used for indicating the controlled virtual object to move forwards.

Case two: and the terminal responds that the visual angle of the virtual scene is inconsistent with the target connecting line direction, and displays second direction indication information corresponding to the target rotating direction in a visual field picture of the controlled virtual object according to the target rotating direction, wherein the second direction indication information is used for indicating the controlled virtual object to rotate leftwards or rightwards, and the visual angle of the virtual scene is consistent with the target connecting line direction after rotating for a target angle smaller than 180 degrees along the target rotating direction.

In this case two, the viewing angle of the virtual scene is not consistent with the target link direction. The terminal can specifically analyze and control which side the controlled virtual object rotates to enable the controlled virtual object and the controlled virtual object to be consistent with each other at the fastest speed. Specifically, the following two possible scenarios are included.

Possible scenarios one: and the terminal responds to the visual angle of the virtual scene, and displays third direction indicating information in the visual field picture of the controlled virtual object after rotating the target angle anticlockwise and the direction of the target connecting line is consistent with that of the target connecting line, wherein the third direction indicating information is used for indicating the controlled virtual object to rotate leftwards.

Possible scenario two: and the terminal responds to the visual angle of the virtual scene, and displays fourth direction indication information in a visual field picture of the controlled virtual object after clockwise rotating the target angle and then the direction of the target connecting line is consistent with that of the target, wherein the fourth direction indication information is used for indicating the controlled virtual object to rotate rightwards.

In some embodiments, the second relationship may be a second included angle, and whether the viewing angle of the virtual scene is consistent with the target connection line direction after the target angle is rotated clockwise corresponds to a relationship between the second included angle and an angle threshold, where the target angle is the second included angle. The above process may be: and the terminal responds that the controlled virtual object is positioned outside the target path, acquires a second included angle between the visual angle of the virtual scene and the target connecting line direction, and displays direction indication information corresponding to the second included angle in the visual field picture of the controlled virtual object.

Wherein the second included angle is less than 180 degrees. When the second included angles are different, the direction indication information displayed by the terminal can also be different. This step 305 may include the following three cases.

In the first case, the terminal responds that the second included angle is smaller than the angle threshold value, and displays first direction indication information in a visual field picture of the controlled virtual object, wherein the first direction indication information is used for indicating the controlled virtual object to move forwards.

In this case, the second included angle is smaller than the angle threshold, and the viewing angle of the virtual scene may be considered to be consistent with the direction of fast returning to the target path (i.e. the target link direction). Therefore, the controlled virtual object can quickly return to the target path when moving forwards to move along the target path, and therefore, the terminal can display the first direction indication information to indicate the user to control the controlled virtual object to move forwards. This is the case i, i.e. the above-mentioned case i in which the viewing angle of the virtual scene is consistent with the target link direction.

For example, as shown in fig. 13, when looking down the virtual scene from top to bottom, the terminal determines a target path 1303 from the first position 1301 of the controlled virtual object to the safety area 1302, and when the controlled virtual object moves to another position 1304, the terminal may obtain a target link direction 1306 from the other position 1304 to a closest position 1305 on the target path, and then obtain a second angle 1308 between the viewing angle 1307 of the virtual scene and the target link direction 1306. If the second angle 1308 is smaller than the angle threshold, the forward direction of the controlled virtual object is substantially the same as the target connection line direction 1306, and the controlled virtual object is controlled to move forward. The specific interface display may be as shown in fig. 7, which is not described herein in detail.

And in a second situation, the terminal responds that the second included angle is larger than or equal to the angle threshold value, the visual angle of the virtual scene is consistent with the direction of the target connecting line after the second included angle is rotated anticlockwise, and second direction indication information is displayed in a visual field picture of the controlled virtual object and is used for indicating the controlled virtual object to rotate left.

In the second case, if the second included angle is greater than or equal to the angle threshold, it may be considered that the viewing angle of the virtual scene is not consistent with the direction of returning to the target path quickly (i.e. the target link direction). When the two are not consistent, the visual angle of the virtual scene and the target connecting line direction can be judged, and how to adjust the visual angle of the virtual scene to enable the two to be consistent.

For example, as shown in fig. 14, when the virtual scene is viewed from top to bottom, the terminal determines a target path 1403 from the first position 1401 of the controlled virtual object to the safety area 1402, and when the controlled virtual object moves to another position 1404, the terminal may obtain a target connecting line direction 1406 of the another position 1404 and the closest position 1405 on the target path, and then obtain a second included angle 1408 between the viewing angle 1407 of the virtual scene and the target connecting line direction 1406. The second angle 1408 is greater than the angle threshold, and the user needs to control the controlled virtual object to turn to make the forward direction of the controlled virtual object consistent with the target connection direction 1406 to control the controlled virtual object to move along the direction of the target path 1403 to approach the target path 1403. When turning, the virtual scene view 1407 can be rotated to the target line direction 1406 by rotating the second angle 1408 counterclockwise. Fig. 14 is an overhead view from top to bottom, and for a controlled virtual object in a virtual scene, the process of counterclockwise rotation is also the process of left rotation of the controlled virtual object. The interface display in this case may be as shown in fig. 9, which is not described herein.

And thirdly, the terminal responds that the second included angle is larger than or equal to the angle threshold value, the visual angle of the virtual scene is consistent with the target connecting line direction after clockwise rotating the second included angle, and third direction indicating information is displayed in a visual field picture of the controlled virtual object and is used for indicating the controlled virtual object to rotate rightwards.

In this case three, the second angle is greater than or equal to the angle threshold, and the viewing angle of the virtual scene may be considered to be inconsistent with the direction of fast returning to the target path. When the two are not consistent, the visual angle of the virtual scene and the target connecting line direction can be judged, and how to adjust the visual angle of the virtual scene to enable the two to be consistent.

The second case and the third case are also corresponding to the second case where the view angle of the virtual scene is not consistent with the target connecting line direction.

For example, as shown in fig. 15, when the virtual scene is viewed from top to bottom, the terminal determines a target path 1503 from a first position 1501 of the controlled virtual object to the security area 1502, and when the controlled virtual object moves to another position 1504, the terminal may obtain a target link direction 1506 at a position 1505 closest to the other position 1504 and the target path, and further obtain a second angle 1508 between the viewing angle 1507 of the virtual scene and the target link direction 1506. The second angle 1508 is greater than the angle threshold, and the user needs to control the controlled virtual object to turn to make the forward direction of the controlled virtual object consistent with the target link direction 1506 to control the controlled virtual object to move along the direction of the target path 1503 to approach the target path 1503. When turning, the virtual scene view 1507 can be rotated to the target link direction 1506 by rotating the second angle 1508 clockwise. Fig. 14 is an overhead view from top to bottom, and for the controlled virtual object in the virtual scene, the clockwise rotation process is the process of the controlled virtual object rotating to the right. The interface display in this case may be as shown in fig. 11, which is not described herein.

In one possible implementation, the virtual life value of the controlled virtual object may be continuously decreased when located outside the destination area (the safe zone). In some embodiments, after the target path is obtained in step 302, the terminal may further provide a target virtual item on the target path, where the target virtual item is used to increase a virtual life value of the virtual object. Therefore, the target virtual prop is used for assisting the controlled virtual object to move along the target path, and a mode for increasing the virtual life value is provided when the controlled virtual object is out of the target area. Specifically, the terminal displays the target virtual prop at a position every target distance on the target path. The controlled virtual object can increase the virtual life value in a mode of acquiring the target virtual prop so as to safely reach the target area.

In one possible implementation manner, the user can control the controlled virtual object to move along the target path, and when the controlled virtual object contacts or approaches the target virtual item, the target virtual item can be acquired, so that the virtual life value is increased. Specifically, when the terminal responds that the distance between the controlled virtual object and any target virtual prop is smaller than a second distance threshold value, the terminal displays the virtual life value of the controlled virtual object and increases the target virtual life value.

The second distance threshold may be a relatively small value, and the distance between the controlled virtual object and any target virtual prop is smaller than the second distance threshold, which may be considered to be very close, so that the controlled virtual object can obtain the target virtual prop.

Optionally, the target virtual prop can be obtained automatically. Optionally, the target virtual item can be obtained according to a pickup operation. The embodiment of the application does not limit the obtaining mode of the target virtual prop.

In one possible implementation manner, the terminal may dynamically set the interval of the target virtual item or the target virtual life value according to the state of the controlled virtual object and the length of the target path. That is, the interval (i.e., target distance) of the above-described target virtual items may be variable, or the target virtual life value that each target virtual item may increase may be variable.

In some embodiments, the determination of the target distance may be: the terminal obtains the speed of the virtual life value reduction of the virtual object outside the target area, the moving speed of the controlled virtual object and the length of the target path; and determining the target distance according to the speed, the moving speed and the preset target virtual life value.

In other embodiments, the determination process of the target virtual life value may be: the terminal obtains the speed of the virtual life value reduction of the virtual object outside the target area, the moving speed of the controlled virtual object and the length of the target path; and determining the target virtual life value according to the speed, the moving speed, the length and the preset target distance.

For example, assuming that the interval L of the target virtual props on the target path, the moving speed V of the virtual object, and the speed of reducing the virtual life value of the virtual object outside the target area are the speed Q of subtracting the virtual life value per second, it can be determined that the controlled virtual object can enter the target area within the time T according to the length S of the target path and the moving speed V, and the total subtracted virtual life value within the time T is Q × T. The moving distance V of the player is T = S, and the number (V T)/L of the target virtual props is picked up. In one specific example, Q = (V × T)/L may be set, that is, the virtual life value deducted by the controlled virtual object is equal to the deducted virtual life value when moving to the destination area along the target path. The balance is achieved in that the player (i.e., the controlled virtual object) just has to go out of the poison circle along the entry mark path, and is just not harmed by the poison circle (i.e., outside the destination area). Of course, this is merely an exemplary illustration, and the relationship between the above parameters may be set by a person skilled in the relevant art according to requirements, and this is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

In a possible implementation manner, if the user controls the controlled virtual object to be away from the target path by a certain distance, path planning may be performed again for the controlled virtual object, the target path is updated, and a new and better path is determined, so as to assist the controlled virtual object to quickly enter the target area. Specifically, in response to that the distance between the position of the controlled virtual object and the target path is greater than a first distance threshold, the terminal updates the target path according to the position of the controlled virtual object and the target area, where the updated target path is a path from the position of the controlled virtual object to the target area in the virtual scene.

The first distance threshold may be set by a person skilled in the art as needed, for example, the first distance threshold may be a length of 5 coordinate points, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

In a possible implementation manner, when the controlled virtual object moves to the target area, the controlled virtual object does not need to be guided to enter the target area, a target path does not need to be provided, and direction indication information does not need to be displayed naturally. Specifically, the terminal may cancel the display of the direction indication information in response to the position of the controlled virtual object moving into the destination area. For example, as shown in fig. 16, after the terminal controls the controlled virtual object to enter the destination area, the display of the direction indication information may be cancelled. At the position where the direction indication information is originally displayed (which position has been indicated by an arrow), the direction indication information is no longer displayed.

A specific example is provided below by way of fig. 17. As shown in fig. 17, assuming that the target area is a "safe area", the area outside the target area is called a "poison circle", the process of controlling the controlled virtual object (player) to move to the target area is called escape or escape, the direction indication information is an escape indication, the target virtual item is called a bleeding item, and the increase of the virtual life value is called bleeding. Specifically, when the player is in a poison circle, the terminal may perform step 1701 of preferentially calculating an optimal path according to the breadth, then perform step 1702 of determining whether the current perspective of the player coincides with an escape route (i.e., a target path), if not, the terminal may perform step 1703 of prompting the player to turn the perspective, then perform step 1704 of determining whether 5 coordinate points (i.e., a first distance threshold) deviate from the original route, if not, the terminal may perform step 1702 again, and if so, the terminal may perform step 1701 again. After the step 1702, if the judgment is consistent, the terminal may perform a step 1705 of judging whether the player has walked the blood-returning prop, if so, the terminal may perform a step 1706 of returning blood to the player, if not, the terminal may perform a step 1707 of judging whether to escape from the poison circle, if not, the terminal may perform a step 1708 of continuing to display the escape path, and if so, the terminal may perform a step 1709 of closing the display of the escape path.

In the embodiment of fig. 3, the above description has been made on how to interface to assist the player to escape from the poison circle and enter the security zone, i.e. the first case, where the endpoint is any location within the destination zone. The second case, that is, the end point is the user-selected position, will be described below with the embodiment shown in fig. 18.

Fig. 18 is a flowchart of an interface display method provided in an embodiment of the present application, and referring to fig. 18, the method includes the following steps.

1801. The terminal acquires a target area and a first position of the controlled virtual object, and the virtual life value of the virtual object located outside the target area is continuously reduced.

Step 1801 is similar to step 301, and will not be described herein.

1802. The terminal responds to the position marking operation and acquires a second position indicated by the position marking operation.

In this embodiment, the user may mark a location in the virtual scene to determine the endpoint. After the terminal acquires the end point, whether the end point is the position in the target area or not can be determined, whether the controlled virtual object is outside the target area or not also needs to be judged, and if the end point is outside the target area, the terminal can perform subsequent path planning and direction indication information display steps.

If the second location is outside the destination area and the first location is outside the destination area, the terminal may perform the above-described steps 302 to 305.

If the second location is within the destination area and the first location is within the destination area, the terminal may not perform any steps or discard the acquired data.

1803. And the terminal responds that the second position is located in the destination area, the first position is located outside the destination area, and a target path in the virtual scene is obtained according to the first position and the second position, wherein the target path is a path from the first position to the second position in the virtual scene.

If the second position is located in the destination area, the user may want to definitely enter the destination area and then want to reach the position, so that the user can plan the path by taking the position as an end point, and the obtained target path better meets the user requirements.

The process of obtaining the target path is similar to the step 302, and is not described herein again.

1804. And the terminal displays the direction indication information in a visual field picture of the controlled virtual object according to the target path, the first position and the visual angle of the virtual scene.

1805. And the terminal responds to the position change of the controlled virtual object and acquires the position of the controlled virtual object.

1806. And the terminal displays the direction indication information in a visual field picture of the controlled virtual object according to the target path, the position of the controlled virtual object and the visual angle of the virtual scene.

Steps 1804 to 1806 are similar to steps 303 to 305, and the embodiment of the present application is not described herein again.

In the embodiment of the application, on one hand, when the controlled virtual object is located outside the target area, the target path is planned for the controlled virtual object in a path planning mode to assist the controlled virtual object to move to the target area, so that a user does not need to determine a route by himself, convenience is provided for the user operation, and the user operation difficulty is simplified.
