(4) The player character: refers to virtual objects that can be manipulated by a player to move about in a game environment, which in some electronic games may also be referred to as hero characters. The player character may be at least one of a virtual character, a virtual animal, and an animation character.

(5) An article protection container: in some electronic games, which may also be referred to as a safe, is a special container, and unlike a conventional container for goods in a game, if a player character carries a container for protecting goods to enter a certain one-play game, even if the player character fails to play the one-play game and even dies directly in the one-play game, the goods stored in the safe will not be lost, and the one-play game can be taken out directly by the player character.

The present application will be described in further detail with reference to the following drawings and specific embodiments.

The word "exemplary" is used hereinafter to mean "serving as an example, embodiment, or illustration. Any embodiment described as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, "a plurality" means two or more unless otherwise specified.

Referring to fig. 1, a game server 100 is in communication connection with a plurality of terminal devices (e.g.,

terminal devices

301, 302, 303, 304, etc.) through a network 200, where the network 200 may be, but is not limited to, a local area network, a metropolitan area network, or a wide area network. The terminal devices 301 to 304 may be portable devices (e.g., mobile phones, tablet computers, notebook computers, etc.), handheld portable game devices, Personal Computers (PCs), etc. The game server 100 may be any device capable of providing internet services, and the game server 100 may include one or more servers.

The terminal device may be configured to install and run a client of a game, and a player (also referred to as a user) logs in the client of the game using a registered game account, that is, a game character (hereinafter referred to as a player character) corresponding to the game account may be controlled to participate in the game. For example, when a player logs in to a client installed in the terminal device 301, the terminal device 301 transmits a login request to the game server 100, and the game server 100 authenticates a game account used by the player, and returns a login success notification to the terminal device 301 after the authentication is passed. During the process of the player participating in the game through the game client, the terminal device 301 and the game server 100 perform data synchronization in real time, the terminal device 301 synchronizes the game data of the local game client to the game server 100, the game server 100 synchronizes the game data of other game clients of the game to the terminal device 301, and the other game clients may be game clients running on other terminal devices (such as the terminal device 303 or the terminal device 304).

The game control method provided by the embodiment of the present application may be executed by the game server 100 or the terminal device together, or may be executed by the client installed on the terminal device. A client may be understood as a game client running on a terminal device.

At present, in an electronic game including a plurality of single-play games and having a goal of pursuing and growing outside the single-play games, a player character carries a virtual article on an equipment seat or in a backpack container to enter a certain single-play game, and battle materials or other virtual articles obtained in the single-play game can be converted into the extra-play growth in various forms and put into other subsequent single-play games. If a player character dies due to a failure in a game in one game, all the virtual items carried in the game in one game will be lost, and all the virtual items carried in the equipment positions and the backpack containers will be scattered in the game environment and picked up by other player characters. The carry-out of the player character in the single-play game is the result of 1/0 due to the problem that a match failure will lose all virtual items carried into the game. That is, if the player character wins the battle of the single-game, the player character can bring all the virtual articles brought into the game and obtained in the game, and the bring-out is 1; if a player character fails in the battle of the one-play game, the player character brings all the lost virtual items taken into and obtained in the game, which is taken out to be 0, that is, when the player character fails in the battle of the one-play game, more game resources are lost.

In order to reduce the loss of game resources when player characters fail to fight in a single game and improve the cyclic utilization rate of the game resources, embodiments of the present application provide a game control method, an apparatus, a storage medium, and an electronic device. In the embodiment of the application, when a player character wants to enter a single-game, an intra-game environment interface for the player character to enter the single-game with an article protection container can be displayed, and in the single-game, a virtual article stored in the article protection container can be updated and displayed aiming at the updating operation of the virtual article stored in the article protection container carried by the player character. After the player character finishes the battle in the process of playing the single-game, whether the battle is successful or the battle is failed, the player character can display an off-game environment interface for the player character to enter the single-game with the article protection container. In the embodiment of the application, even if the player character fails to fight in the process of playing the single-game, the virtual item stored in the item protection container still belongs to the player character after the player character enters the outdoor game environment, and can be used in the subsequent single-game. Therefore, the loss of virtual articles when the player character fails to fight in the single game can be reduced, the loss of game resources of the player character is reduced, and the cyclic utilization rate of the game resources is increased.

The game control method provided by the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below by using a specific embodiment, and for convenience of understanding, the following description focuses on a process of information interaction between a client and a game server, where the client is referred to as a target client, and the process of information interaction between other clients participating in a game and the game server is the same as that of the target client. The game character that the target player logs in the target client to operate is called a target player character. It should be noted that the target client is not different from other clients participating in the game, and the target player character is not different from other player characters participating in the game.

In the description herein, a target client refers to a client corresponding to a target player character, and an associated client refers to a client corresponding to a player character for which the target player character enters the same one-game. In one embodiment, the interaction process among the target client, the game server and the associated client during the game running process is as shown in fig. 2, and may include the following steps:

step S101, the target client receives the operation that the target player controls the corresponding target player character to enter the single game.

Step S102, the target client sends a request of the target player character to enter the single game to the game server.

The target player uses the first game account to log in a target client running on the terminal device to participate in the game. In a game, a first game account has a corresponding player character, referred to herein as a target player character, that the target player can manipulate to play the game. The game can comprise a plurality of single games, the target player can control the target player character to enter one of the single games, and the target player can also create one single game together with the friend player or join the single game created by the friend player. In addition to a single game, the target player character may have a supply library for storing combat supplies or other virtual items for the target player character, which may also be referred to as a warehouse, such as the warehouse shown in fig. 4. The target player character may enter a single game with a portion of the virtual item selected from the inventory.

After the target player logs in the game, the target player can select an identifier of a single game in the game interface, click the identifier and control the target player character to enter the corresponding single game. The target client side responds to the operation that the target player controls the corresponding target player character to enter the single-play game, and sends a request that the target player character enters the single-play game to the game server, wherein the request carries account information of the target player character and information of the single-play game which is requested to enter.

Step S201, the game server sends the intra-game environment information of the single game and the information that the object player character carrying the article protection container enters the single game to the target client.

In some embodiments, the game defaults to each player character being uniformly equipped with an item protection container that can be brought into a single game. Hereinafter, the article protection container is also referred to as a safe. Unlike the conventional goods container in the game, even if the player character fails to play in the single game and even dies directly in the single game, the goods stored in the safe are not lost and the single game can be taken out directly by the player character. Specifically, a safe box equipment position can be additionally arranged on the player character for storing the safe box in the single-play game, so that the player character can carry the safe box to enter the single-play game.

After receiving a request sent by a target client for a target player character to enter a single-play game, the game server controls the target player character to enter the corresponding single-play game according to account information of the target player character and information of the single-play game requested to enter, wherein the account information is carried in the request. The game server can default that the target player character carries the article protection container to enter the single-game, and send the intra-game environment information of the single-game and the information that the target player character carries the article protection container to enter the single-game to the target client. The intra-game environment information of the single-game includes information such as a game scene of the single-game, and positions of other player characters participating in the game scene.

Step S103, the target client displays the in-game environment interface of the single game, which is entered by the target player character carrying the article protection container.

After receiving the information of the intra-game environment of the single-game and the information of the single-game entering of the object player character carrying the article protection container, which are sent by the game server, the target client displays an intra-game environment interface of the single-game entering of the object player character carrying the article protection container to the target player.

In some embodiments, the intra-game environment information of the single game and the information that the target player character carries the article protection container to enter the single game sent by the game server may be game picture data, that is, the game server may directly send an intra-game environment interface that the target player character carries the article protection container to enter the single game to the target client.

In step S202, the game server sends information that the target player character enters the one-play game to the associated client running the one-play game.

As explained above, the associated client is a client that runs the same one-game as the target client, and may be understood as a client of each player character playing the same game as the target player character. The game server sends information of the target player character entering the single game to each associated client, wherein the information comprises position information and the like of the target player character in a game scene of the single game.

If the target client and the associated client start the single game at the same time, the game server can also send information that the player character corresponding to the associated client and the target player character enter the single game at the same time when sending the intra-game environment information to the associated client.

It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the execution order of step S201 and step S202 may be interchanged, or step S201 and step S202 may be executed simultaneously.

Step S301, the associated client displays the in-game environment interface of the target player character entering the single-game.

And after receiving the information of the target player character entering the single-play game sent by the game server, the associated client displays an in-play game environment interface of the target player character entering the single-play game and the position of the target player character in a game scene of the single-play game.

Step S104, the target client receives the update operation of the target player aiming at the virtual goods stored in the goods protection container carried by the target player character.

In step S105, the target client sends a request for updating the virtual item stored in the item protection container carried by the target player character to the game server.

For example, in one embodiment, the update operation for the virtual item held in the item protection container carried by the target player character may be an operation of adding a virtual item to the item protection container. Specifically, in a single game, a target player clicks on an article protection container, and a target client may display an internal structure of the article protection container and a storage location of a virtual article held in the article protection container in response to a touch operation of the target player on the article protection container. The target player may select a target virtual item from the virtual items carried by the target player character to add to the item protection container. For example, the target player may select the target virtual item on the equipment location, click the right button to add it to the item protection container, or drag it into the item protection container. The target client receives the operation of adding the virtual item into the item protection container by the target player, and can send a request for adding the target virtual item selected by the target player into the item protection container to the game server, wherein the request carries the information of the target virtual item.

In another embodiment, the update operation for the virtual item held in the item protection container carried by the target player character may be a discard operation for the target virtual item in the item protection container. After the target client displays the internal structure of the article protection container and the storage location of the virtual article stored in the article protection container, the target player may select the target virtual article stored in the article protection container, click the right button to discard the target virtual article, or drag the target virtual article out of the article protection container. The target client receives the operation of discarding the virtual item stored in the item protection container by the target player, and may send a request for discarding the target virtual item selected by the target player to the game server, where the request carries information of the target virtual item.

In another embodiment, the update operation for the virtual item held in the item protection container carried by the target player character may be a move operation for the target virtual item in the item protection container. After the target client displays the internal structure of the article protection container and the storage location of the virtual article stored in the article protection container, the target player may select the target virtual article stored in the article protection container and drag the target virtual article from the current storage location to the target storage location. The target client receives the moving operation of the target player for the target virtual item in the item protection container, and can send a request for moving the target virtual item selected by the target player to the game server, wherein the request carries the information of the target virtual item and the information of the current storage position and the target storage position of the target virtual item.

In step S203, the game server updates the information of the virtual item stored in the item protection container carried by the target player character.

In step S204, the game server transmits update information of the virtual item stored in the item protection container to the target client.

And step S106, updating and displaying the virtual article stored in the article protection container by the target client.

In an embodiment, if the game server receives a request sent by the target client to add the target virtual article to the article protection container, the target virtual article may be added to the article protection container according to the request carrying information of the target virtual article, and update information of the virtual article stored in the article protection container is sent to the target client, so that the target client updates and displays the virtual article stored in the article protection container.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the interior of the article protection container may include a set number of storage units. The game server receives a request sent by the target client for adding the target virtual article to the article protection container, if the number of storage units occupied by the target virtual article is smaller than or equal to the number of free storage units in the article protection container, the target virtual article is added to the article protection container, and information for adding the target virtual article to the corresponding storage unit in the article protection container is sent to the target client.

In some embodiments, the interior of the article protection container may include a set number of storage units, with each storage unit having a set volume. The volume of each storage unit may be the same or different. The game server receives a request sent by the target client for adding the target virtual article to the article protection container, and if a free storage unit exists in the article protection container and the volume of the target virtual article is smaller than or equal to the volume of the free storage unit, the game server sends information for adding the target virtual article to the corresponding storage unit in the article protection container to the target client.

In another embodiment, if the game server receives a request sent by the target client to discard a target virtual item selected by the target player, the target virtual item may be removed from the item protection container according to the request carrying information of the target virtual item, and update information of the virtual item stored in the item protection container is sent to the target client, so that the target client updates and displays the virtual item stored in the item protection container. For example, the target virtual good may be moved out of the article protection container to another equipment location or other container, or the target virtual good may be directly removed from the article protection container and discarded.

In another embodiment, if the game server receives a request sent by the target client to move a target virtual article selected by the target player, the game server may move the target virtual article from the current storage location in the article protection container to the target storage location according to the request carrying information of the target virtual article and information of the current storage location and the target storage location of the target virtual article, and send update information of the virtual article stored in the article protection container to the target client, so that the target client updates and displays the virtual article stored in the article protection container.

In other embodiments, the target client receives an update operation of the target player for a virtual item stored in an item protection container carried by the target player character, and may also update and display the virtual item stored in the item protection container in response to the update operation for the virtual item stored in the item protection container carried by the player character, and then send information of the virtual item stored in the updated item protection container to the game server, so that the game server records information of the virtual item stored in the updated item protection container.

Specifically, in one embodiment, if the update operation for the virtual item held in the item protection container is an operation to add a virtual item to the item protection container, the target client displays that the target virtual item is added to the corresponding storage location in the item protection container in response to the operation to add the target virtual item to the item protection container. For example, in a single game, a target player clicks on an article protection container, and a target client displays the internal structure of the article protection container and the storage location of a virtual article held in the article protection container in response to a touch operation of the target player on the article protection container. Wherein the inner structure of the article protection container may include a set number of storage units. As shown in fig. 3, the target player character enters a single game with headphones, a submachine gun, a small backpack, a safe, and the like. In a single game, after a target player clicks a safe, a target client displays the internal structure of the safe and the storage position of a virtual article stored in the safe. The safe shown in figure 3 has 3 x 3 storage units and holds banknotes in the safe at a first storage unit location, a mobile phone at a second storage unit location and pain killers at a third storage unit location. The target player may add the headphones stored in the equipment location of the target player character to the safe stored in the safe equipment location of the target player character by clicking on the headphones and dragging them into the safe.

In some embodiments, in response to an operation of adding a target virtual item to an item protection container, a target client displays that the target virtual item is added to a corresponding storage unit in the item protection container if the number of storage units occupied by the target virtual item is less than or equal to the number of free storage units in the item protection container. For example, the target client receives an operation of adding a target virtual article "earphone" to the safe, and determines whether the number of storage units required to be occupied by the earphone is less than or equal to the number of free storage units in the safe. The target client displays the corresponding storage unit for adding the earphone to the safe. For another example, the target client receives an operation of adding a target virtual article "submachine gun" to the safe, and determines whether the number of storage units required to be occupied by the submachine gun is less than or equal to the number of free storage units in the safe, because the number of storage units required to be occupied by the submachine gun is 3 × 5, the maximum number of storable units in the safe is 3 × 3, and the number of free storage units is six, and the number of storage units of the submachine gun is greater than the number of storage units in the safe, the submachine gun cannot be added to the safe.

In other embodiments, in response to the operation of adding the target virtual item to the item protection container, if a free storage unit exists in the item protection container and the volume of the target virtual item is less than or equal to the volume of the free storage unit, the target client displays that the target virtual item is added to a corresponding storage unit in the item protection container. For example, the target client receives an operation of adding a target virtual article 'earphone' to a safe, determines whether a free storage unit exists in the safe or not, and determines whether the volume of the earphone is smaller than or equal to the volume of the free storage unit in the safe or not after determining that the free storage unit exists in the safe, wherein the safe has six free storage units, the volume of one storage unit of the safe is 1 cubic centimeter, and the volume of the earphone is 6.5 cubic centimeters, so that the earphone cannot be added into the safe. For another example, the target client receives an operation of adding a target virtual article "paper money" to the safe, determines whether an idle storage unit exists in the safe, and determines whether the volume of the paper money is less than or equal to the volume of the idle storage unit in the safe after determining that the idle storage unit exists in the safe, and the paper money can be added into the safe because six idle storage units exist in the safe, the volume of one storage unit in the safe is 1 cubic centimeter, and the volume of the paper money is 0.5 cubic centimeter.

In another embodiment, the target client displays removal of the target virtual item from the item protection container in response to the discard operation for the target virtual item in the item protection container if the update operation for the virtual item held in the item protection container is a discard operation for the target virtual item in the item protection container. For example, the target client receives a discard operation that would "bill" the target virtual item in the safe, displaying the removal of the bill from the safe.

In another embodiment, if the update operation for the virtual item stored in the item protection container is a move operation to the target virtual item in the item protection container, the target client displays, in response to the move operation for the target virtual item in the item protection container, that the target virtual item is moved from the original storage location to the target storage location in the item protection container, where the target storage location is the target location specified by the move operation. For example, the target client receives an operation to move the target virtual item "note" in the safe from the current deposit location to the immediate central storage unit location of the safe, displaying a move of the note in the safe from the first storage unit location to the fifth storage unit location.

Optionally, the target player may also sort virtual articles stored in an article protection container carried by the target player character, and the target client displays, in response to the sorting operation for the plurality of target virtual articles in the article protection container, that the plurality of target virtual articles are respectively moved from the original storage positions to the target storage positions in the article protection container. For example, three virtual items, a banknote, a cell phone, and an analgesic, are stored in a safe, wherein the banknote is stored in a first storage unit of the safe, the cell phone is stored in a second storage unit of the safe, and the analgesic is stored in a third storage unit of the safe. The target client receives the operation of sequencing three target virtual articles 'paper money', 'mobile phone' and 'analgesic' in the safe according to the sequence of the analgesic, the paper money and the mobile phone, and displays that the paper money positioned in the first storage unit is moved to the position of the second storage unit, the mobile phone positioned in the second storage unit is moved to the position of the third storage unit, and the analgesic positioned in the third storage unit is moved to the position of the first storage unit.

In some embodiments, the target player may also add a virtual item to the item protection container before the target player character enters the single game. For example, before the above step S101, the target client may transmit a request for adding a virtual article to the article protection container of the target player character after receiving an operation of adding the virtual article by the target player to the article protection container, the game server may add the target virtual article to a specified storage position in the article protection container and transmit target virtual article addition information to the target client after receiving the request, and the target client may display the storage position specified by adding the target virtual article to the article protection container of the target player character to the target player after receiving the addition information. For example, as shown in fig. 4, the target client may transmit a request for adding a bill in the warehouse to a first storage unit in the safe of the target player character after receiving an operation of adding a target virtual item "bill" in the warehouse to the first storage unit in the safe of the target player character, to the game server, the game server may add the bill in the warehouse to the first storage unit position in the safe after receiving the request, and transmit bill addition information to the target client, and the target client may display the addition of the bill in the warehouse of the target player character to the first storage unit position in the safe of the target player character after receiving the addition information.

In step S205, the game server monitors that the target player character fails to play the single game.

In the fighting process of the single-game, the target client can receive the action instruction for controlling the target player character input by the target player and send the action instruction aiming at the target player character to the game server, and the game server can control the target player character to fight with the associated player character according to the received action instruction. The game server can also monitor the damage of other player characters to the target player character in the fighting process, and monitor the remaining blood volume of the target player character. When the amount of blood remaining in the target player character is 0, the game server may determine that the target player character dies, i.e., that the target player character fails to play during the one-game.

In step S206, the game server sends the information of the failure of the target player character in the one-play game to the target client and the associated client.

After monitoring that the target player character fails to fight in the process of playing the single-game, the game server can simultaneously send information of the failure of the target player character in the single-game by the target client and the associated client.

In step S107, the target client presents a message indicating that the target player character has failed in the one-play game to the target player.

For example, the target client may display a battle failure interface and display an "OVER" or "LOSE" flag in the interface.

Step S207, the game server sends the environment information of the game outside the single game and the information that the object player character carrying the article protection container exits the single game to the target client.

Step S108, the target client displays the off-office game environment interface of the target player character carrying the article protection container to enter the single-office game.

After the target player character fails to fight in the single-game, the game server can send the information of the environment of the external game outside the single-game and the information that the target player character exits the single-game with the virtual article stored in the article protection container to the target client, and after receiving the information sent by the game server, the target client can display the environment interface of the external game outside the single-game to the target player. The virtual items stored in the item protection container remain attributed to the player character after the player character enters the out-of-office game environment.

In step S208, the game server scatters the virtual item carried by the target player character and not stored in the item protection container in the intra-game environment of the single-game.

When the target player character fails to play in the single-play game, the virtual item carried and not stored in the item protection container is scattered at the position of the play failure in the single-play game.

In step S209, the game server transmits virtual item scattering information of the target player character to the associated client.

Step S302, the associated client displays the scattered virtual goods in the game environment interface in the local according to the received virtual goods scattering information.

After receiving the virtual item scattering information of the target player character sent by the game server, the associated client may display the position information of the virtual item scattering of the target player character to the associated player in the intra-office game environment interface, and the associated player may control the associated player character to pick up the virtual item scattered after the death of the target player character at the position according to the scattering position information.

In the embodiment of the application, if a player character fails to fight during the process of playing a single game, the player character can carry the article protection container to enter an external game environment interface outside the single game, and the virtual article stored in the article protection container still belongs to the player character after the player character enters the external game environment, so that the virtual article can be used in the subsequent single game. Therefore, the loss of virtual articles when the player character fails to fight in the single game can be reduced, the loss of game resources of the player character is reduced, the cyclic utilization rate of the game resources of the player character is increased, the psychology of the player for resisting the loss is reduced, the cyclic power of the game of the player character inside and outside the single game is increased, and the game is more popular with the player.

In some embodiments, when the target player character enters the single-play game or carries the article protection container, or in the single-play game, if the target player wants to add the article storage container of the target player character to the article protection container of the target player character for storage, or add the article protection container to the article storage container for storage, the target client displays a notification message for prohibiting nesting of the two types of containers. Wherein, the article storage container can be a small backpack on a backpack equipping position or other containers except the article protection container. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, it is not permissible if the target player is to place a small backpack on a backpack outfit location in a safe on a safe outfit location, or to place a safe in a small backpack, when entering a single game.

Alternatively, the target player may also learn knowledge about the safe in the out-of-office game environment, such as which virtual items may be placed in the safe and which virtual items may not be placed in the safe. For example, as shown in fig. 5, the target player can see that items such as a submachine gun, a small backpack and the like cannot be put into the safe and items such as a mobile phone, paper money and the like can be put into the safe by clicking information such as game information or help and the like.

In some embodiments, after the player character enters the single-play game with the article protection container, in an intra-office game environment of the single-play game, if the target player intends to remove the article protection container from the article protection container equipment position of the target player character, the target client displays a notification message prohibiting removal of the article protection container. For example, it is not allowed that the target player removes the safe on the target player character safe placement station and puts it in a warehouse during the single game, or directly discards the removed safe in the in-game environment of the single game.

In one embodiment, each player character may have an item protection container, and the volume of the item protection container may be different for different player characters. For example, in some embodiments, safes having different volume sizes may be provided, the price of a safe having a larger volume may be higher, and the price of a safe having a smaller volume may be lower. Different players can purchase safe boxes with different volumes according to the fighting requirements or the number of owned game coins. In some embodiments, safe boxes with different volumes may be provided to player characters according to their ranks, a safe box with a larger volume may be provided to a player character with a higher rank, and a safe box with a smaller volume may be provided to a player character with a lower rank.

In another embodiment, some player characters may have multiple item protection containers, wherein the volume of each item protection container may be the same or different. For example, a player may purchase multiple safes for a player character, or each player character may be given a different number of safes based on the different levels of the player character. If the target player character has multiple item protection containers, the target player may select the item protection container that the target player character carries when entering the single game before the target player character enters the single game. In this embodiment, the interaction process between the target client, the game server and the associated client may be as shown in fig. 7, including the following steps:

in step S401, the target client receives an operation of adding an article protection container to the article protection container attachment position of the target player character by the target player.

In step S402, the target client transmits a request to the game server to add an article protection container at the article protection container equipping position of the target player character.

In step S501, the game server transmits information of the article protection container owned by the target player character to the target client.

The request for adding the article protection container sent by the target client to the game server carries information of the target player character, such as account information and the like. The game server can determine the number of the corresponding safe boxes owned by the player, the types of the safe boxes, the internal structure and other related information according to the information of the target player character, and return the related information to the target client.

In step S403, the target client presents the optional item protection containers to the target player.

In step S404, the target client receives an operation of selecting an article protection container from the displayed article protection containers by the target player.

Illustratively, assume that the target player character has two safes, safe one and safe two. As shown in fig. 6, the target client receives the information of the safe owned by the target player character sent by the game server, and presents the optional safe, i.e., the first safe and the second safe, to the target player. The volume of the first safe box is relatively large, the number of storage units is large, the first safe box comprises 9 storage units which are 3 x 3 in total, the volume of the second safe box is relatively small, the number of storage units is small, and the second safe box comprises 6 storage units which are 3 x 2 in total. The target player may select a safe from the revealed safes so that the target player character may carry the safe into the single game.

In step S405, the target client sends a request to the game server to select an item protection container.

And the target player clicks the selected safe box, the target client receives the operation of selecting the safe box from the displayed safe box by the target player, and sends a request for selecting the safe box to the game server, wherein the request carries the information of the selected safe box.

In step S502, the game server transmits information of adding the selected article protection container to the article protection container equipping position of the target player character to the target client.

The game server adds the corresponding safe to the set equipment position of the target player character according to the safe information carried in the request for selecting the safe sent by the target client, and sends the information of the set equipment position of the target player character to which the selected safe is added to the target client, wherein the set equipment position can be an article protection container equipment position or a safe equipment position.

In step S406, the target client displays to the target player the addition of the selected item protection container to the item protection container equipment location.

Before entering the single game, the target player may select one of a plurality of selectable safes to be added to the safe equipment station of the target player character. The target player may also add virtual items to the safe. For example, as shown in fig. 4, items stored in a warehouse, such as banknotes, mobile phones, and the like, may be added to the safe.

In step S407, the target client receives an operation of the target player to control the corresponding target player character to enter the one-play game.

In step S408, the target client sends a request for the target player character to enter the one-play game to the game server.

Step S503, the game server sends the intra-game environment information of the single game and the information that the object player character carrying the article protection container enters the single game to the target client.

Step S409, the target client displays the in-game environment interface of the single game, which is entered by the target player character carrying the article protection container.

In step S504, the game server sends information that the target player character enters the one-play game to the associated client running the one-play game.

Step S601, the related client displays the game environment interface in the game of the target player character entering the single game.

Step S505, the game server monitors that the target player character successfully fights in the process of playing the single game.

Step S506, the game server sends the environment information of the game outside the single game and the information that the target player character carrying all virtual articles exits the single game to the target client.

When the target player character successfully fights in the process of playing the single-game, the target player character can exit the single-game with all the virtual articles stored in the article protection container and other equipment positions.

If the target player character fails to fight in the process of playing the single-game, the target player character can only exit the single-game by carrying the virtual article stored in the article protection container.

If the game server monitors that the target player character fails to fight in the process of playing the single game, the method shown in fig. 2 can be used for implementation, and details are not described herein.

After the target player character enters the out-of-office game environment outside the single-game, the target player may remove the article protection container on the article protection container mounting position of the target player character and store it in the material library, or may select one of the plurality of article protection containers stored in the material library of the target player character and place it on the article protection container mounting position. For example, as shown in fig. 4, the target player may place a safe stored in the warehouse on the safe mount, or may remove the safe from the safe mount and store the safe in the warehouse.

The target player may transfer the virtual item stored in the item protection container of the target player character to the material library of the target player character and store the virtual item, or may transfer the virtual item stored in the material library of the target player character to the item protection container of the target player character and store the virtual item. For example, as shown in fig. 4, the target player may transfer the mobile phone stored in the safe to a warehouse for storage, or may transfer the banknotes stored in the warehouse to the safe for storage.

FIG. 8 is a game cycle after the safe is added. When the target player enters a single game, virtual objects used for battle can be stored in a safe box and brought into the single game. When a target player fights in the game environment in a game, the target player can pick up virtual articles in a single game scene, or pick up virtual articles scattered by the player who fails to fight, and then place the picked virtual articles in the storage space of the player character. And the target client responds to the operation that the target player character picks up the virtual item in the local game environment of the single-game, and displays the virtual item to be picked up to the storage space of the target player character in the single-game. The storage space refers to a storage space other than a safe and may include, but is not limited to, a small backpack of the target player character, a pocket, equipment space on the body, etc.

If the target player wins the battle, the virtual items picked up in the game and all the virtual items deposited at the target player character equipping positions can be brought out of the single-play game in full. In the case where a safe is not carried into the one-play game, if the target player fails in a battle, all the virtual items on the target player character equipping positions of the target player are lost, and in the case where a safe is carried, if the target player fails in a battle, the virtual items stored in the safe can be safely carried out of the one-play game. In the game environment, the target player can select the opportunity to manage and control the high-value virtual article, and decide whether to put the virtual article into a safe box for safe taking or take the virtual article out for use in a proper battle environment. Finally, whether the target player dies or not, the action profit of the target player in the single game is not 0, and the safe box can carry out profit bottom. The mode relieves the loss and the rejection of the target player in the local battle to the great extent, and ensures that the player can play games continuously, thereby effectively and beneficially circulating the local cultivation and the local circulation. And the safe box is added in the game economic cycle, so that the economic income total amount of the player in the single game can be smoothly transited, and the overall economic consumption output can show distributed pull-open difference on different player levels on the basis of keeping the charm of the fighting game.
