Optionally, the graphical user interface is obtained by screen rendering of the electronic device.
The electronic equipment can be terminals such as a smart phone, a tablet personal computer, a notebook personal computer and the like used by a player, a game client of an online shooting game is installed on the mobile terminal, and the player plays the online shooting game through logging in the game client; the electronic device may also be a server, for example, a cloud server, on which a game client of an online shooting game is installed, and a player logs in the game client through his mobile terminal to play the online shooting game. Different games may be provided to the player with different graphical user interfaces that are displayed on the display screen of the mobile terminal, in which game scenes, skill controls, operational controls (e.g., movement controls that control movement of virtual characters), interactive controls (e.g., chat boxes, voice input controls, etc.), game settings controls, etc., as the invention is not specifically limited in this regard.
It should be noted that, the embodiment of the present invention is mainly directed to an online shooting game with a game mechanism in which a secure zone is shrunk in a timing manner, so that a player can view the current position of a virtual character and the position of the secure zone in a small map displayed in a graphical user interface.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method for controlling a virtual character according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the method including the steps of:
step S102, responding to the locking operation instruction, detecting whether the virtual character is positioned in a target area in the game scene, and obtaining a first detection result.
At present, a mobile terminal is often provided with a touch screen, and a player can interact with a graphical user interface directly in a mode of performing touch operation on the screen, so that different operation instructions can be detected; the mobile terminal is also provided with a microphone, and a player can interact with the game client in a voice control mode, so that different operation instructions can be detected through voice recognition; the mobile terminal is also provided with different types of sensors, such as a gravity sensor and the like, and a player can directly interact with the mobile client in a manner of shaking and rotating the mobile terminal, so that different operation instructions can be detected.
Based on the detected operation instruction, the virtual character may be controlled to perform a corresponding action, for example, after the motion operation instruction is detected, the virtual character may be controlled to move according to a motion direction corresponding to the motion operation instruction, and a movement condition of the virtual character may be displayed in the graphical user interface.
The locking operation instruction in the above steps may be a locking running instruction, which can help the player achieve the purpose of "running in the direction of the safe area by one key". When the player needs to control the virtual character to run into the safe area, the player can trigger the locking operation instruction in various different modes, for example, can trigger in a touch operation mode, can trigger in a voice control mode, a mobile terminal shaking mode, a mobile terminal rotating mode and the like.
In a first alternative embodiment, a lock running button may be provided on the graphical user interface for the player, and a corresponding function may be added to the button, so that the player may trigger the virtual character to automatically adjust the direction of movement, face the safe area, and lock running by clicking the button.
In a second alternative embodiment, a locked running area may be provided on the graphical user interface for the player, and corresponding functions may be added for the area, where during the game, the player may control the movement direction of the virtual character through the directional wheel, and by dragging an auxiliary operation control in the directional wheel (such as a circular control in the middle of the directional wheel) to move into the locked running area, trigger the virtual character to automatically adjust the movement direction, face the safe area, and lock running.
In a third alternative embodiment, a locked running voice command may be provided to the player, for example, the locked running voice command may be "auto running" so that the player may issue an "auto running" voice, and after recognition by voice, it is determined that the player inputs the locked running voice command, thereby triggering the avatar to automatically adjust the direction of movement, face the safe area, and lock running.
In a fourth alternative embodiment, an operation of shaking the mobile phone can be provided for the player, and corresponding functions are added in the operation, so that the player can trigger the virtual character to automatically adjust the movement direction, face the safety zone and lock running through shaking the mobile phone.
The target area in the above step may be a safe area in an online shooting game, in which a game mechanism with a timing contraction of the safe area is provided, and in order to provide a better game experience for a player, the target area may be an upcoming safe area (i.e. the next safe area), so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the virtual character to run toward the safe area in advance. The shape of the target area may be rectangular, circular, triangular, or the like, but is not limited thereto, and may be determined according to an actual game setting, and in the embodiment of the present invention, a circular shape is taken as an example for explanation.
It should be noted that, when the player triggers the locked running instruction, the virtual character may not run into the next safe area at this time, that is, the virtual character is located outside the target area, and the virtual character needs to be controlled to run toward the target area at this time; or, has already been run into the next safe zone, i.e. the virtual character is located within the target zone, at which time it is not necessary to control the virtual character to run towards the target zone. Therefore, before controlling the virtual character to lock towards the safe area to run, the current position of the virtual character can be acquired, the circle center position and the radius of the safe area are acquired, whether the virtual character is located in the target area or not is judged by judging whether the distance between the current position and the circle center position is larger than the radius, and then the running direction of the virtual character is determined based on the corresponding result.
Step S104, a first movement direction of the virtual character is determined based on the first detection result.
In an alternative embodiment, if it is detected that the avatar is located in the target area, the avatar may be considered to run towards the safe area in whichever direction it is running, and in order to simplify the control operation, only the running may be locked but the movement direction of the avatar is not adjusted, i.e. the first movement direction is the current direction of the avatar.
In another alternative embodiment, if the avatar is detected as being outside the target area, then, to ensure that the avatar can run into the safe area, the running may be locked and the direction of movement of the avatar may be adjusted, where the first direction of movement is the direction facing the safe area.
Step S106, the virtual character is controlled to automatically move in the game scene according to the first motion direction.
In an alternative embodiment, after determining the first direction of movement, the running may be locked, and the avatar may run in the first direction of movement, so that the avatar may automatically run into the safe area.
According to the embodiment of the invention, the locking operation instruction is responded, whether the virtual character is located in the target area in the game scene is detected at first, a first detection result is obtained, and the first movement direction of the virtual character is determined based on the first detection result, so that the virtual character is controlled to move in the game scene automatically according to the first movement direction, and the virtual character is controlled to move into the target area.
Optionally, in the above embodiment of the present invention, determining the first movement direction of the virtual character based on the first detection result includes: and when the first detection result is that the virtual character is positioned in the target area, the first movement direction is the current direction of the virtual character, wherein the current direction is the direction of the virtual character when the locking operation instruction is detected. Optionally, in the above embodiment of the present invention, determining the first movement direction of the virtual character based on the first detection result further includes: and under the condition that the first detection result is that the virtual character is located outside the target area, the first movement direction is a direction determined based on the current position of the virtual character and the target position in the target area, wherein the current position is the position of the virtual character when the locking operation instruction is detected.
The target position in the above step may be any position in the target area, for example, may be a position closest to the virtual character, but is not limited thereto. In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to reduce the calculation amount, the center position of the target area may be used as the target position.
In an alternative embodiment, in the case that the first detection result is that the virtual character is located in the target area, only the running may be locked but the movement direction of the virtual character is not adjusted, at this time, since the virtual character may be moving or the virtual character is in a stationary state, the first movement direction may be determined as the current direction of the virtual character, that is, the first movement direction is the current direction of the virtual character, in order to control the movement of the virtual character without adjusting the movement direction. For example, as shown in fig. 2a, when the virtual character (shown as a solid circle in the figure) is in the next safe zone, and when the player clicks the lock running button, the player locks running without adjusting the movement direction of the virtual character, and the movement direction of the virtual character is shown as a dotted line.
Further, the direction determined based on the current position of the virtual character and the target position in the target area is a direction in which the current position points to the target position.
In another alternative embodiment, in the case that the first detection result is that the virtual character is located outside the target area, in order to ensure that the virtual character can run into the safe area, the running may be locked and the movement direction of the virtual character may be adjusted, at this time, the first movement direction may be determined based on the current position and the target position of the virtual character, that is, the direction in which the current position points to the target position is determined as the first movement direction, so that the virtual character may run toward the target position toward the target area. For example, as shown in fig. 2b, when the virtual character (as shown by the solid circle in the figure) is not in the next safe zone, and when the player clicks the lock running button, the virtual character is adjusted to face the center of the next safe zone and locked to run, and the movement direction of the virtual character is shown by the dotted line.
Optionally, in the above embodiment of the present invention, in controlling the virtual character to automatically move in the game scene according to the first movement direction, the method further includes: when the virtual character is detected to move to the edge of the target area, acquiring a first position of the virtual character in the game scene; determining a direction in which the first position points to a target position in the target area as a second movement direction of the virtual character; the virtual character is controlled to move in accordance with the second direction of motion.
The first position in the above step may be a position where the virtual character is located when it is detected that the virtual character moves to an edge of the target area.
It should be noted that, in the case where it is detected that the virtual character is within the target area, only the running is locked but the movement direction is not adjusted, and if the movement direction of the virtual character is not the center of the security area, the virtual character may run out of the security area after running for a certain period of time.
To avoid the above problem, in an alternative embodiment, during the process of locking running, whether the virtual character runs out of the safe area can be detected in real time, that is, whether the virtual character moves to the edge of the target area is detected, if so, the movement direction of the virtual character needs to be readjusted, and the virtual character is controlled to run towards the safe area. The control method at this time is the same as the case that the virtual character is located outside the target area as the above-mentioned first detection result, that is, the direction in which the first position points to the target position may be determined as the second movement direction, and the virtual character is controlled to move according to the second movement direction, that is, the virtual character is adjusted to face the center of the next security area.
For example, as shown in fig. 3, in the case where it is detected that the virtual character is within the next safe zone, the running is locked, and when it runs to the edge of the next safe zone, the automatically adjusted direction runs toward the center of the next safe zone, and the movement direction of the virtual character is shown as a dotted line.
Alternatively, in the above-described embodiment of the present invention, in the case where the movement of the virtual character to the target position is detected, the virtual character is controlled to stop the automatic movement.
In an alternative embodiment, the movement direction of the virtual character is towards the target position, i.e. towards the center of the next safe zone, and the virtual character finally runs to the target position, at which point the virtual character has already run into the next safe zone, and the virtual character does not need to continue running, so that the virtual character can be controlled to stop moving automatically, and the final stop position is the center point of the next safe zone, and at this point the locked running function automatically ends.
Optionally, in the above embodiment of the present invention, in controlling the virtual character to automatically move in the game scene according to the first movement direction, the method further includes: when the position update of the target area is detected, acquiring a second position of the virtual character in the game scene; detecting whether the virtual character is positioned in the updated target area according to the second position to obtain a second detection result; and determining a third movement direction of the virtual character based on the second detection result, and controlling the virtual character to automatically move in the game scene according to the third movement direction.
The second position in the above step may be a position where the virtual character is located when the position update of the target area is detected.
In the online shooting game, the position of the safe area is updated regularly, so that the situation of updating the position of the safe area may occur during the locking running of the virtual character, and in this case, in order to achieve a better control effect, the virtual character needs to be controlled to run to the updated target area. The control process for controlling the virtual character to run to the updated target area is the same as that of the above embodiment, and will not be described herein.
Further, when the second detection result is that the virtual character is located in the updated target area, the third movement direction is the current direction of the virtual character, wherein the current direction is the direction of the virtual character when the position of the target area is detected to be updated; and under the condition that the second detection result is that the virtual character is positioned outside the updated target area, the third movement direction is a direction determined based on the current position of the virtual character and the updated target position in the target area, wherein the current position is the position of the virtual character in the game scene when the position of the target area is detected to be updated.
Optionally, in the above embodiment of the present invention, after acquiring the second position of the virtual character in the game scene, the method further includes: detecting whether the second position is the same as the target position of the target area before updating to obtain a third detection result; and determining whether to control the virtual character to move in a third movement direction based on the third detection result.
In addition, since the virtual character stops running after running to the target position of the target area before updating, and the lock running function automatically ends, the virtual character cannot continue the lock running. On the basis, when the position of the target area is updated, the current position of the virtual character is firstly obtained, whether the current position is the central position of the safety area before updating is judged, if so, the virtual character is determined to stop running, and the virtual character is not controlled to run any more; if not, it is determined that the avatar can continue running, it is necessary to control the avatar to adjust the direction of movement and continue running toward the center of the updated safe zone.
Optionally, in the above embodiment of the present invention, determining whether to control the virtual character to move in the third movement direction based on the third detection result includes: determining to control the virtual character to move according to a third movement direction when the third detection result is that the second position is different from the target position of the target area before updating; and determining to control the virtual character to stop moving automatically when the third detection result is that the second position is the same as the target position of the target area before updating.
In an alternative embodiment, if the second position of the virtual character is different from the target position of the target area before updating, the virtual character is still in the locked running state, so that the running direction can be automatically adjusted again to run towards the center of the updated safe area; if the second position of the avatar is the same as the target position of the target area before updating, at which point the avatar has stopped running, no further lock running is needed, and thus the avatar running may no longer be controlled, i.e. it is determined to control the avatar to stop moving automatically.
