In the related art, the combat situation is fed back through a shortcut function built in a game interface, for example, a control for requesting support is clicked to broadcast the voice requesting support to a friend; the fighting condition of the friend party is informed through the quick chatting function control, the operation is complex, the operation on the virtual character is influenced, and the fighting condition is not obtained timely. In addition, in the related art, the survival situation of the virtual character is also broadcasted through the automatic combat voice broadcast function in the game, for example, the broadcast virtual character dies or is sealed, the combat situation of the virtual character needing to be supported cannot be prompted in time, and the position of the virtual character cannot be displayed visually, so that support can be provided in time.

In view of one or more of the above problems, an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a game information prompting method, and fig. 1 illustrates a system architecture diagram of an environment in which the method operates, including a client 110 and a server 120. The client 110 may be a terminal device such as a mobile phone and a tablet, and is configured to execute a display process of game information prompt; the server 120 may be a computer or a server in the game background, and is used for executing the generation process of the game information prompt.

It should be understood that the number of devices in fig. 1 is merely exemplary, and any number of clients 110 and servers 120 may be provided, as desired for an implementation.

Fig. 2 shows an exemplary flow of a game information prompting method in the present exemplary embodiment, which may be executed by the server 120, and includes the following steps S210 to S230:

step S210, obtaining the life value of each virtual character in the game.

Step S220, when detecting that the life value variation of one or more virtual roles in any virtual role group meets the triggering condition, generating prompt information.

Step S230, sending a prompt message to the client corresponding to the virtual character in any virtual character group, so that the client displays a prompt signal in the game map according to the prompt message.

Each step in fig. 2 will be described in detail below.

In step S210, the life value of each virtual character in the game is acquired.

The life value of the virtual character can be an index of the viability or the attack resistance of the virtual character, such as an index of the blood value, the vigor value, the physical strength value and the like of the virtual character.

In step S220, when it is detected that the life value variation of one or more virtual characters in any virtual character group satisfies the trigger condition, prompt information is generated.

The virtual character groups are virtual character teams formed by virtual characters, and the virtual characters in different virtual character groups can mutually attack. For example, there are 4 virtual characters, u1, u2, u3 and u4, u1, u2 and u3 belong to virtual character group z1, u4 belongs to virtual character group z2, u1, u2 and u3 all can attack u4, and u4 can attack u1, u2 and u 3.

The life value variation is the variation of the life value when the virtual character fights, and for example, when the virtual character is attacked, the life value is reduced.

In an optional implementation manner, the position of the target virtual character can be added in the prompt message, so that the client displays a prompt signal at the position of the target virtual character in the game map; the target virtual role is one or more virtual roles of which the life value variation satisfies the trigger condition.

The target virtual role can be determined quickly by setting the trigger condition, so that the fighting condition of the target virtual role can be prompted in the corresponding virtual role group. And adding the position of the target virtual character into the prompt message so that the client side where the virtual character is located can display the fighting condition of the target virtual character at the corresponding position of the game map.

In an alternative embodiment, step S220 may include: when detecting that the life value consumption of one or more virtual characters in any virtual character group in a preset time exceeds a first threshold value, generating prompt information.

The vital value consumption amount may include a vital value consumption amount generated when the virtual character is attacked by an adversary virtual character. Further, the life value consumption amount may include a life value consumption amount generated when a virtual character is attacked by a non-virtual character in the game, for example, attacked by a non-virtual character such as a monster, an enemy guard tower, or the like.

In the above process, it may also be detected whether the life consumption ratio of one or more virtual characters in any virtual character group in a predetermined time exceeds a predefined ratio, and when the life consumption ratio exceeds the predefined ratio, a prompt message is generated. For example, when the virtual character life value consumption ratio reaches 60% within 2s, the prompt message is generated.

The life consumption ratio may be a ratio of a difference between the life values of the virtual character at the start time and the end time of the predetermined time to the life value of the virtual character at the start time, or may be a ratio of the life value of the virtual character at the end time of the predetermined time to the life value of the virtual character in the game initialization state.

In an optional implementation manner, step S220 may further include: and when detecting that the life value variation of a plurality of virtual roles in a preset size area in any virtual role group meets the trigger condition, generating prompt information.

The preset size area may be in a shape of a rectangle, a circle, a square, etc., and it should be noted that the shape of the preset size area is not specifically limited in this scheme. Taking the preset size area as an example, when the virtual character is within a range of a × b, determining whether the life value variation of the virtual character within the range meets the trigger condition, where a and b are the length and width of the rectangular preset size area, respectively.

Furthermore, the preset size area may also be defined by the distance between the virtual characters, for example: and setting the preset size area as an area range formed when the distance between the virtual characters does not exceed d.

The plurality of virtual characters in the preset size area can be determined by the following method:

(1) the method comprises the steps of judging whether virtual characters exist in a preset size area or not by moving the preset size area in a game scene, and determining the virtual characters as the virtual characters in the preset size area if the virtual characters exist.

(2) And determining the distance between the virtual characters according to the positions of the virtual characters, and determining the virtual characters included in the preset size area range according to the distance between the virtual characters. For example: there are three virtual characters, u1, u2 and u3, the distance between u1 and u2 is d12, the distance between u1 and u3 is d13, and the distance between u2 and u3 is d23, and when d12, d13 and d23 are all smaller than d, where d is a preset distance, the three characters can be regarded as virtual characters within a preset size area.

In an optional implementation manner, when it is detected that the life value variation amounts of a plurality of virtual characters in a preset size area in any virtual character group satisfy a trigger condition, generating a prompt message includes: and when detecting that the life value variation of a plurality of virtual characters in a preset size area in any virtual character group meets the triggering condition and the number of all virtual characters in the preset size area exceeds a second threshold value, generating prompt information.

In an optional implementation manner, when it is detected that the life value variation amounts of a plurality of virtual characters in a preset size area in any virtual character group satisfy a trigger condition, generating a prompt message further includes: and when detecting that the sum of the life value consumptions of a plurality of virtual characters in the preset size area in any virtual character group in a preset time exceeds a third threshold value, generating prompt information.

For example, within the preset size region a × b, there are 4 virtual characters, u1, u2, u3, and u4, and u1, u2, and u3 belong to the virtual character group z1, u4 belongs to the virtual character group z2, and when the sum of the life value consumptions of the virtual characters in the virtual character group z1 or the virtual character group z2 exceeds 60% in 5s, the presentation information is generated.

In the process, the virtual characters in the preset size area are detected, so that the fighting condition of the virtual characters during group fighting can be obtained in real time, the virtual characters which do not participate in the group fighting can accurately master the group fighting condition, and timely reinforcement is facilitated.

In an optional implementation manner, when it is detected that the life value change amount of one or more virtual characters in any virtual character group meets the trigger condition, generating the prompt message includes: generating prompt information of corresponding levels according to the life value variation of one or more virtual roles; wherein different levels of cue information correspond to different cue signals.

In addition, prompt information of corresponding levels can be generated according to the change range of the vital value. The larger the change amplitude of the life value is, the higher the grade of the prompt message is. By setting different levels of prompt messages, the combat situation of the virtual character can be fed back more finely.

In step S230, a prompt message is sent to the client corresponding to the virtual character in any virtual character group, so that the client displays a prompt signal in the game map according to the prompt message.

In an alternative embodiment, step S230 may include: sending prompt information to the client corresponding to the virtual roles in any virtual role group except the target virtual role; the target virtual role is one or more virtual roles of which the life value variation satisfies the trigger condition.

By sending the prompt information to the client corresponding to the virtual character in any virtual character group except the target virtual character, the target virtual character does not need to send the prompt information to the target virtual character, so that on one hand, unnecessary communication overhead is reduced, and on the other hand, the condition that the prompt information does not play a prompting role but causes visual interference on the target virtual character is avoided.

Fig. 3 shows an exemplary flow of a game information prompting method in the present exemplary embodiment, which may be executed by the client 110, and includes the following steps S310 to S320:

step S310, receiving a prompt message sent by the server, wherein the prompt message is generated when the server detects that the life value variation of one or more virtual roles in the current virtual role group meets the trigger condition, and the current virtual role group is the virtual role group where the current virtual role corresponding to the client is located.

And step S320, displaying a prompt signal in the game map according to the prompt information.

Each step in fig. 3 will be described in detail below.

In step S310, a prompt message sent by the server is received, where the prompt message is generated when the server detects that a life value variation of one or more virtual roles in a current virtual role group satisfies a trigger condition, and the current virtual role group is a virtual role group in which a current virtual role corresponding to the client is located.

The hint information may be generated by the steps in fig. 2.

In step S320, a prompt signal is displayed on the game map according to the prompt information.

In an alternative embodiment, step S320 includes: displaying a prompt signal at the position of the target virtual character in the game map according to the prompt information; the target virtual role is one or more virtual roles of which the life value variation satisfies the trigger condition.

Displaying the head portrait of the corresponding virtual character at the position of each virtual character in the game map, displaying a prompt signal in the head portrait of the target virtual character, and displaying the prompt signal at the corresponding position in the game map of the target virtual character.

As shown in fig. 4, different prompt signals are displayed according to the number of virtual characters participating in the battle, and when the number of virtual characters participating in the battle does not exceed two, a small bubble 1 is displayed in the head portrait of the target virtual character; when the number of virtual characters participating in the battle exceeds two, the large bubble 2 is displayed at the position of the game map where the target virtual character is located.

The prompt signal displayed in the head portrait of the target virtual character can move correspondingly according to the movement of the position of the target virtual character, so that the prompt signal is ensured to be positioned in the head portrait of the target virtual character, and the position of the target virtual character is convenient to position. The prompting signal displayed at the corresponding position of the target virtual character in the game map can not move, so that the current position of the client side where the group battle occurs can be prompted conveniently.

In an alternative embodiment, the prompt message may include the location of the target avatar.

The position of the target virtual character is contained in the prompt message, so that the client can conveniently determine the position displayed by the prompt signal.

In an optional implementation manner, step S320 may further include: and displaying the corresponding prompt signal in the game map according to the grade of the prompt information.

For example, the cue signal is set to be a bubble, and the bubble with a faster breathing rate is displayed as the level of the cue information is higher.

In an alternative embodiment, the alert signal includes any one or more of: icon, dynamic effect, text, sound.
