Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for throwing a virtual throwing object in a virtual environment according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. This embodiment will be described by taking the example that the method is used for the first terminal 110 or the second terminal 130 in the implementation environment shown in fig. 1 or other terminals in the implementation environment, and the method includes the following steps:

in step 201, in response to a triggering operation on the target skill control, a first virtual object is controlled to hold a drop point marking prop, the drop point marking prop is used for marking a drop point of a virtual throwing object in a virtual environment, and the virtual throwing object is used for changing an attribute value of the virtual object in an action range.

The target skill control is a trigger control corresponding to the target skill, when the trigger operation of the target skill control is received, the terminal controls the first virtual object to use the target skill, namely controls the first virtual object to hold the drop point marking prop, and if the first virtual object holds other virtual props before the trigger operation of the target skill control is received, the other virtual props are switched to the drop point marking prop.

Optionally, the triggering operation of the target skill control includes clicking operation, long press operation, dragging operation, or voice control operation of the UI control.

The drop point marker prop is a virtual prop for selecting a drop point of a virtual projectile in a virtual environment. And the user controls the first virtual object to hold the mark point to launch the prop, so that the first virtual object selects the launch point in the virtual environment.

The virtual throwing object is a throwing type virtual object for changing the attribute value of the virtual object in the action range, such as a grenade, a bomb, a missile and the like, and can be thrown directly by the virtual object or through a virtual carrier.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 3, a target skill control 301 is displayed in a virtual environment interface (i.e., a game interface), and when a trigger operation for the target skill control 301 is received, the terminal controls the first virtual object to retract the virtual prop 302 currently used, and uses the target skill to hold the drop point marking prop 303.

And 202, transmitting virtual rays through the point-of-delivery marking props, and displaying the point-of-delivery in the virtual environment based on the virtual rays.

In one possible implementation, since the virtual projectile belongs to a remote attack prop, the user typically needs to attack a remote virtual object when using the virtual projectile, and thus needs to determine the point of placement at a location further from the first virtual object, for example. In order to facilitate the user to control the first virtual object to remotely select the drop point, the drop point marker prop can emit a virtual ray (e.g., a virtual beam), and the terminal displays the drop point in the virtual environment based on the virtual ray. And the user can select the drop point by observing the position, the orientation and other information of the virtual ray in the virtual environment, so that the operation is more visual and convenient.

As shown in fig. 3, point-of-delivery marking prop 303 emits a virtual ray (shown in phantom) that is visible in the interface, and may be embodied as a beam of light.

In step 203, in response to the throwing operation, the virtual vehicle is controlled to throw the virtual throwing object into the virtual environment based on the throwing point.

When receiving the throwing operation, the terminal determines to throw the virtual throwing object to the current throwing point, so that the virtual carrier is controlled to throw the virtual throwing object to the virtual environment based on the throwing point. The virtual carrier is a carrier for throwing a virtual throwing object into a virtual environment, such as a virtual plane, a virtual parachute, a virtual tank, and the like.

For example, when the terminal receives a trigger operation to the launch control 304, the virtual vehicle is controlled to launch a virtual projectile into the virtual environment.

Optionally, the terminal controls the virtual carrier to throw in the virtual throwing object once based on the throwing point, or the terminal controls the virtual carrier to throw in the virtual throwing object once every preset time interval and throw in the virtual throwing object n times continuously, wherein n is a positive integer.

Optionally, the launch operation is a trigger operation of the launch control; or, performing secondary triggering operation on the target skill control; alternatively, other touch operations (e.g., a click operation, a slide operation, etc.) in the virtual environment interface may be acted upon, which embodiments of the present application are not limited.

To sum up, in the embodiment of the application, the user controls the first virtual object to release the target skill, marks the prop through the putting point capable of emitting the virtual ray, directly selects the putting point of the virtual throwing object in the virtual environment, selects the putting point by using the virtual ray, enables the user to clearly determine the specific position of the putting point in the virtual environment, and puts by using the virtual carrier, so that the putting accuracy can be improved, the virtual throwing object is prevented from deviating from the ideal putting point when the first virtual object is directly put, and the practicability of the virtual throwing object is further improved.

In one possible implementation, the terminal determines and displays the drop point based on the virtual ray emitted by the drop point marking prop, and the user can implement a change to the drop point by adjusting the drop point marking prop. Referring to fig. 4, a flowchart of a method for throwing a virtual throwing object in a virtual environment according to another exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. This embodiment will be described by taking the example that the method is used for the first terminal 110 or the second terminal 130 in the implementation environment shown in fig. 1 or other terminals in the implementation environment, and the method includes the following steps:

In step 401, in response to a triggering operation on the target skill control, a first virtual object is controlled to hold a drop point marking prop, the drop point marking prop is used for marking a drop point of a virtual throwing object in a virtual environment, and the virtual throwing object is used for changing an attribute value of the virtual object in an action range.

For specific embodiments of step 401, reference may be made to step 201 described above, and the embodiments of the present application are not repeated here.

Step 402, emitting a virtual ray through the point of delivery marking prop, wherein the direction of the virtual ray is consistent with the direction of the point of delivery marking prop.

In one possible implementation, in order to facilitate the user to control the virtual ray by controlling the first virtual object to hold the drop point marker prop, the reality of the interactive operation is improved, and the pointing direction of the terminal control virtual ray in the virtual environment is consistent with the pointing direction of the drop point marker prop. If the direction of the point marker prop changes, the direction of the virtual ray also changes, so that a user can select the point by controlling the point marker prop.

For example, the drop point marker prop is displayed as a preset prop model, such as a flashlight, a laser pen, etc., as shown in fig. 3, the drop point marker prop 303 is a virtual flashlight, the virtual ray is a virtual beam emitted by the virtual flashlight, and the virtual ray and the drop point marker prop 303 have the same direction.

And step 403, determining an intersection point of the virtual ray and the virtual object in the virtual environment as a drop point, and displaying a drop point identifier at the drop point.

In a virtual environment, a virtual ray emitted by a point-of-placement marking prop is intersected with a virtual object (such as a ground, a wall, a tree, a virtual object and the like), so that an intersection point is formed, the terminal determines the intersection point as a point-of-placement, and a point-of-placement mark is displayed at the point-of-placement to prompt a user of the current position of the point-of-placement, so that the user can conveniently determine whether adjustment is needed.

Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 3, the virtual ray from the drop point marker prop 303 intersects the ground in the virtual environment, and the terminal displays a drop point identifier 305 at the intersection.

Since in the real world the range that can be observed by the human eye is limited, in order to increase the authenticity of throwing the object, the first virtual object can only select the point of throwing within a preset range, in one possible implementation, step 403 comprises the steps of:

and determining the intersection point as the drop point and displaying the drop point identification at the drop point in response to the distance between the intersection point and the position of the first virtual object being smaller than a first distance threshold.

The terminal determines the distance between the position of the intersection point of the virtual ray and the virtual object and the position of the first virtual object in real time, wherein the distance refers to the distance in the virtual environment, and if the distance is smaller than a first distance threshold (for example, 100 meters), the terminal displays a throwing point identifier at the intersection point so as to indicate that the virtual throwing object can be thrown at the point currently.

When the distance between the position of the intersection point and the position of the first virtual object exceeds a first distance threshold, the first virtual object cannot throw the virtual throwing object at the intersection point, and the method further comprises the following steps:

and displaying the illegal delivery identification at the intersection point in response to the distance between the intersection point and the position of the first virtual object being greater than a first distance threshold.

As shown in fig. 5, when the terminal determines that the distance between the intersection point and the position where the first virtual object is located is greater than the first distance threshold (100 meters), an illegal throwing identifier 501 is displayed at the intersection point, so as to prompt the user that the virtual throwing object cannot be thrown at the point. In addition, the terminal can display prompt information 502 through the virtual environment interface to prompt the user to adjust the virtual ray and change the position of the intersection point.

Step 404, receiving control operation of the point of delivery marking prop, and adjusting the orientation of the point of delivery marking prop.

Optionally, the user drags the arm of the first virtual object or the drop point virtual prop, so that the terminal controls the first virtual object to change the direction of the drop point marking prop based on the dragging operation; or the display position of the drop point marking prop relative to the screen is unchanged, and the user slides the virtual environment interface to enable the terminal to change the virtual environment in the visual field range of the first virtual object based on the sliding distance and the sliding direction of the sliding operation, so that the orientation of the drop point marking prop in the virtual environment is changed. The embodiments of the present application are not limited in this regard.

Illustratively, the user performs an upward sliding operation in the virtual environment interface, so that the virtual ray is oriented in a direction close to the vertical downward direction, that is, the intersection point is close to the position where the first virtual object is located; and the user performs a downward sliding operation in the virtual environment interface, so that the virtual ray is oriented in a horizontal forward direction, namely the intersection point is far away from the position where the first virtual object is located.

Step 405, updating the position of the drop point in the virtual environment based on the orientation of the adjusted drop point marking prop.

And after receiving the control operation, the terminal updates the position of the putting point based on the direction of the putting point marking prop.

In a possible implementation manner, the user can also control the first virtual object to move in the virtual environment through the terminal, so as to change the position of the drop point. As shown in fig. 6, the first virtual object releases the target skill at a position far from the virtual building 603, holds the drop point marking prop, and displays the drop point identifier 602 at the corresponding drop point, when receiving the trigger operation on the movement control 601, controls the first virtual object to move forward based on the trigger operation, approaches the virtual building 603, and updates the position of the drop point based on the change of the position of the first virtual object.

In step 406, in response to the launch operation, the virtual vehicle is controlled to launch the virtual projectile into the virtual environment based on the launch point.

For a specific embodiment of step 406, reference may be made to step 203, which is not described herein.

In the embodiment of the application, the drop point is determined based on the intersection point of the virtual ray and the virtual object, the drop point identification is displayed at the drop point in real time, and the position of the drop point in the virtual environment is updated in time based on the control operation of the drop point marking prop, so that a user can conveniently determine the position of the drop point by observing the virtual environment interface, and whether adjustment is needed or not is judged.

In a possible implementation manner, in order to facilitate a user to select a throwing point and avoid blocking a line of sight, when the terminal receives a trigger operation on a target skill control in a display state of a third person viewing angle, the throwing method of a virtual throwing object in a virtual environment in the embodiment of the present application further includes the following steps:

and responding to the triggering operation of the target skill control, and switching the virtual environment picture from the third person viewing angle to the first person viewing angle.

In one possible implementation, the terminal displays the virtual environment through a virtual environment screen. Alternatively, the virtual environment screen is a screen in which the virtual environment is observed at the perspective of the virtual object. The angle of view refers to an observation angle at which a first person or a third person of the virtual object observes in the virtual environment. Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the perspective is an angle at which the virtual object is observed by the camera model in the virtual environment.

Optionally, the camera model automatically follows the virtual object in the virtual environment, that is, when the position of the virtual object in the virtual environment changes, the camera model simultaneously changes along with the position of the virtual object in the virtual environment, and the camera model is always within the preset distance range of the virtual object in the virtual environment. Optionally, the relative positions of the camera model and the virtual object do not change during the automatic following process.

The camera model refers to a three-dimensional model located around the virtual object in the virtual environment, which is located near or at the head of the virtual object when the first person perspective is employed; when a third person viewing angle is adopted, the camera model can be located behind the virtual object and bound with the virtual object, and can also be located at any position with a preset distance from the virtual object, and the virtual object in the virtual environment can be observed from different angles through the camera model. Optionally, the viewing angle includes other viewing angles, such as a top view, in addition to the first-person viewing angle and the third-person viewing angle; when a top view is employed, the camera model may be located above the head of the virtual object, the top view being a view of the virtual environment from an overhead view. Optionally, the camera model is not actually displayed in the virtual environment, i.e. the camera model is not displayed in the virtual environment of the user interface display. Describing the camera model as being located at any position at a preset distance from the virtual object, optionally, one virtual object corresponds to one camera model, and the camera model may rotate with the virtual object as a rotation center, for example: the camera model is rotated by taking any point of the virtual object as a rotation center, the camera model not only rotates in angle, but also shifts in displacement in the rotation process, and the distance between the camera model and the rotation center is kept unchanged during rotation, namely, the camera model is rotated on the surface of a sphere taking the rotation center as a sphere center, wherein any point of the virtual object can be any point of the head, the trunk or the periphery of the virtual object, and the embodiment of the application is not limited. Optionally, when the camera model observes the virtual object, the center of the view angle of the camera model points in the direction of the center of sphere, where the point of the sphere where the camera model is located points to the center of sphere.

As shown in fig. 7, the terminal displays a virtual environment picture with a third human visual angle, when receiving a triggering operation on the target skill control 701, the terminal switches the third human visual angle to a first human visual angle, controls the camera model lens to zoom in, enables a user to select a drop point under the first human visual angle, avoids the virtual ray from being blocked by a first virtual object, and can simulate the experience of controlling the ray through props in the real environment, thereby improving interactivity and reality.

In a possible implementation manner, the embodiment of the application provides at least two throwing modes, the throwing precision corresponding to different throwing modes is different, and the terminal determines the target throwing mode based on the distance of the throwing point, so that the throwing of the virtual throwing object is more fit with reality. Fig. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a method for throwing a virtual throwing object in a virtual environment according to another exemplary embodiment of the present application. This embodiment will be described by taking the example that the method is used for the first terminal 110 or the second terminal 130 in the implementation environment shown in fig. 1 or other terminals in the implementation environment, and the method includes the following steps:

in step 801, in response to a triggering operation on a target skill control, a first virtual object is controlled to hold a drop point marking prop, the drop point marking prop is used for marking a drop point of a virtual throwing object in a virtual environment, and the virtual throwing object is used for changing an attribute value of the virtual object in an action range.

Step 802, a virtual ray is emitted through the point of delivery marking prop, and the point of delivery is displayed in the virtual environment based on the virtual ray.

For the specific embodiments of step 801 to step 802, reference may be made to the above steps 201 to 202, and the embodiments of the present application will not be repeated here.

In step 803, in response to the delivery operation, a target delivery mode is determined based on the delivery point, and different delivery modes correspond to different delivery precision.

The release distance refers to a distance between a release point and a position of a first virtual object in a virtual environment, and in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal determines a release manner of a virtual thrown object based on the release distance, for example, when the release distance is smaller than a preset distance, the terminal determines a release manner with high release precision as a target release manner, and when the release distance is greater than the preset distance, the terminal determines a release manner with low release precision as a target release manner.

In a possible implementation manner, the terminal determines the target delivery mode according to the correspondence between the delivery distance and the delivery mode, and step 803 includes the following steps:

in step 803a, in response to the delivery distance being smaller than the second distance threshold, the first delivery mode is determined to be the target delivery mode, and the delivery distance is the distance between the delivery point and the position where the first virtual object is located.

In step 803b, in response to the launch distance being greater than the second distance threshold, the second launch mode is determined to be the target launch mode.

Wherein, the delivery precision of the first delivery mode is higher than that of the second delivery mode. The throwing precision is related to the deviation between the landing position of the virtual throwing object in the virtual environment and the throwing point when the virtual throwing object is thrown by the virtual carrier. The smaller the deviation is, the higher the delivery precision is; alternatively, the smaller the probability of deviation, the higher the delivery accuracy.

In one possible implementation manner, the delivery modes in the embodiment of the application include a first delivery mode and a second delivery mode. Optionally, the first delivery mode is accurate delivery with the delivery point as the delivery center point, and the second delivery mode is range delivery of determining the delivery range based on the delivery point and the delivery distance; or, the first throwing mode and the second throwing mode are both throwing ranges of which the throwing ranges are determined based on the throwing points and the throwing distances, and the throwing ranges corresponding to the first throwing mode are smaller than the throwing ranges corresponding to the second throwing mode. The throwing center point is a datum point when the virtual carrier throws the virtual throwing object. For example, when the number of virtual throws is 1, the center point is the action point of the virtual throws; when the number of the virtual throwing objects is 2, the throwing center point is the midpoint on the connecting line of the action points of the two virtual throwing objects; when the number of virtual throwing objects is 3, the connecting lines among the action points of the three virtual throwing objects form an equilateral triangle, and the throwing center point is the midpoint of the equilateral triangle.

Step 804, determining a delivery center point based on the delivery point and the target delivery mode.

When the terminal receives the throwing operation, a throwing center point is determined in the virtual environment based on the target throwing mode and the throwing point. In one possible implementation, step 804 includes steps 804a through 804b, or steps 804c through 804d:

in step 804a, in response to the target delivery pattern being the first delivery pattern, a first delivery area is determined based on the delivery point, the first delivery area being an area centered on the delivery point.

804b, determining a drop center point from the first drop zone.

In one possible embodiment, the area and shape of the first drop zone is fixed. When the throw-in distance is smaller than the second distance threshold, the area and the shape of the first throw-in area are kept consistent regardless of the magnitude of the throw-in distance.

Illustratively, the second distance threshold is 50 meters, when the delivery distance is smaller than 50 meters, the terminal determines a circular area with a delivery point as a center and a radius of 5 meters as a first delivery area, and randomly determines a point from the first delivery area as a delivery center point.

804c, determining a second delivery area based on the delivery point and the delivery distance in response to the target delivery mode being the second delivery mode, wherein the second delivery area is centered on the delivery point, the second delivery area is larger than the first delivery area, and the area of the second delivery area is in positive correlation with the delivery distance.

804d, determining a drop center point from the second drop zone.

In one possible embodiment, when the target delivery mode is the second delivery mode, the further the delivery distance is, the larger the area of the second delivery area is.

The second delivery area is a circular area taking a delivery point as a center of a circle, and the calculation formula of the radius is r0+ (s-50)/a, wherein r0 is the radius of the first delivery area, s is the delivery distance, and a is a preset attenuation coefficient.

In one possible implementation manner, in order to facilitate other virtual objects to timely acquire the virtual throwing object to be thrown in the virtual environment, after determining the throwing center point, the terminal displays a notification message through the global message display area, where the notification message includes the position of the throwing center point, the position of the first virtual object, the duration of throwing the virtual throwing object from the virtual carrier, and the like, and the message is globally visible. Other virtual objects can reduce injuries by lying down or being far away from the putting center point, and rapid reduction of attribute values is avoided.

In step 805, the virtual vehicle is controlled to launch a virtual projectile into the virtual environment based on the launch center.

As shown in fig. 9, when receiving a drop operation, the terminal determines a drop area 901 based on a target drop mode and a position of a drop point, determines a drop center point from the drop area 901, displays a center point identifier 902 corresponding to the drop center point in a virtual environment picture, and displays a distance between the drop center point and a first virtual object, and after a preset period of time, the terminal controls the virtual carrier to drop a virtual thrown object 903 into the virtual environment based on the drop center point.

In response to the virtual projectile being validated, m child virtual projectiles are generated based on the virtual projectile, m being a positive integer, step 806.

In one possible implementation, the virtual projectile springs off when it collides with a virtual object in the virtual environment other than the ground until it lands, and begins to count down after landing, after a preset period of time (e.g., 2 s) takes effect. The virtual throwing object is effective, and corresponding special effects (such as bomb explosion) are displayed in the virtual environment picture.

In one possible implementation, after the virtual throwing object is validated, prop fragments are generated, and the terminal takes the prop fragments as the sub-virtual throwing object and controls the sub-virtual throwing object to be thrown secondarily. For example, the virtual projectile is a bomb, and m bomb fragments generated by the terminal control bomb after the terminal control bomb explodes based on the throwing center point are determined as sub virtual projectiles.

Optionally, the number of sub virtual throws generated by the target virtual throws is a fixed number, that is, m is a fixed number; alternatively, the terminal randomly determines the value of m within a certain range of values, that is, the number of sub virtual throws generated after each virtual throws take effect may be different, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In step 807, the m virtual throws are controlled to move along a preset trajectory.

In one possible implementation, the terminal controls each of the m sub-virtual throws to move along a corresponding preset trajectory. Optionally, the preset track is a fixed track, that is, the virtual throwing object moves according to the same track after each virtual throwing object takes effect, or the terminal randomly determines m preset tracks from the preset tracks, so as to control the virtual throwing object to move. Illustratively, the predetermined trajectory is a parabola starting from the point of generation of the sub-virtual throwing object.

In step 808, in response to the collision of the virtual projectile during the movement, the virtual projectile is controlled to take effect at the collision point, the virtual projectile being configured to change the value of the attribute of the virtual object within the range of action.

The terminal controls the virtual throwing object to move along the preset track, and if the virtual throwing object collides in the moving process, such as collision with a virtual building, a virtual object or the ground in a virtual environment, the virtual throwing object is controlled to immediately take effect at a collision point. In one possible implementation manner, the action range of the sub virtual throwing object is smaller than that of the virtual throwing object, for example, the virtual throwing object is a mine, the action range is a spherical area with a landing point as a center and a radius of 20m, when the virtual throwing object is effective, attribute values of virtual objects in the area are changed, mine fragments generated after the mine explosion move according to a preset track and are secondarily exploded after the impact, and the action range is a spherical area with a radius of 10m and a collision point as a center.

As shown in fig. 10, after the target virtual prop is validated at the actual launch point 1001, the terminal displays the special effect of the target virtual prop through the virtual environment picture, and generates the sub virtual prop 1002, and the terminal controls the sub virtual prop 1002 to move along the preset track, and after the collision point 1003 collides, controls the sub virtual prop to be validated at the collision point 1003.

In the embodiment of the application, the target throwing mode is determined based on the distance between the throwing point and the first virtual object, the throwing precision of the virtual throwing object is changed along with the change of the throwing distance, so that the throwing of the virtual throwing object is more fit and practical, and the reality of throwing the virtual throwing object in the virtual environment is improved; after the virtual throwing object takes effect, the virtual throwing object is controlled to be generated, and the virtual throwing object takes effect again, so that the problem that the virtual throwing object still cannot act on other virtual objects due to accurate user throwing caused by the time difference between the user selection of the throwing point and the virtual throwing object taking effect is solved.

The above embodiments illustrate the process of selecting a drop point by marking a prop by the drop point after the first virtual object releases the target skill, and further enabling the virtual carrier to drop the virtual throwing object. Fig. 11 is a flowchart illustrating a method for throwing a virtual throwing object in a virtual environment according to another exemplary embodiment of the present application. This embodiment will be described by taking the example that the method is used for the first terminal 110 or the second terminal 130 in the implementation environment shown in fig. 1 or other terminals in the implementation environment, and the method includes the following steps:

Step 1101, receiving a selection operation of a target skill prop of the at least one skill prop, equipping the first virtual object with the target skill prop, the target skill prop being configured to add a target skill to the virtual object.

The terminal displays a skill property equipment interface before entering a game or displays the skill property equipment interface when the game starts and the first virtual object does not attack the second virtual object.

Alternatively, the first virtual object can be equipped with a predetermined number of skill props in a game at a time. After the first virtual object is equipped with the skill prop, the first virtual object always has the attribute or skill of the corresponding skill prop in the subsequent single-time game process.

Referring to fig. 12, a schematic diagram of a skill prop equipment interface is shown. The skill property equipment interface includes a skill property selection column 1201, which includes skill properties owned by the first virtual object corresponding to the current account. When the terminal receives the triggering operation of the target selection control 1202 corresponding to the target skill prop, the target skill prop 1203 and the prop introduction are displayed in the skill prop equipment interface, when the triggering operation of the equipment control 1204 is received, the selection operation of the target skill prop is determined to be received, and a prop command is sent to the server to control the first virtual object to equip the target skill prop 1203.

Step 1102, displaying a target skill control corresponding to the target skill through a virtual environment interface.

In one possible implementation, the terminal displays the target skill control in the virtual environment interface when the first virtual object is equipped with the target skill prop, and does not display the target skill control when the first virtual object is not equipped with the target skill prop.

In one possible implementation, step 1102 includes the steps of:

in step 1102a, a target skill control in a non-triggerable state is displayed through a virtual environment interface.

In one possible embodiment, the target skills have a skill cooling duration. After the game starts, the target skills are in a skill cooling state, and accordingly, the target skill control is in a non-triggerable state, as shown in fig. 13, and the target skill control 1301 in the non-triggerable state cannot receive and respond to the triggering operation.

In step 1102b, in response to reaching the skill cool down period, the display state of the target skill control is switched from the non-triggerable state to the triggerable state.

When the skill cooling duration is reached, the target skill first releases the skill cooling state, at this time, the terminal switches the display state of the target skill control from the non-triggerable state to the triggerable state, as shown in fig. 13, and the target skill control 1301 in the triggerable state can receive the triggering operation.

In step 1103, in response to the triggering operation of the target skill control in the triggerable state, the first virtual object is controlled to hold the drop point marker prop.

In one possible implementation manner, when the terminal receives a triggering operation on the target skill control in the triggerable state, it is determined that the first virtual object releases the target skill, the first virtual object is controlled to hold the drop point marking prop, and at this time, the target skill enters the skill cooling state again, and the display state of the terminal target skill control is switched from the triggerable state to the non-triggerable state until the skill cooling duration is reached again. Wherein the skill cooling time in the process of the game is fixed, or can be reduced along with the increase of the target skill release times.

In step 1104, the prop is marked by the drop point to emit a virtual ray, and the drop point is displayed in the virtual environment based on the virtual ray.

In step 1105, in response to the throwing operation, the virtual vehicle is controlled to throw the virtual throwing object into the virtual environment based on the throwing point.

Specific embodiments of steps 1104 to 1105 may refer to steps 202 to 203, which are not limited in this application.

In step 1106, in response to the target virtual object being present in the preset area, a hint information is displayed in the virtual environment interface.

The target skill prop also has a investigation function for the target virtual object, the function belongs to passive skill, active triggering of a user is not needed, and the skill immediately takes effect when the first virtual object is equipped with the target virtual prop until the first virtual object unloads the target skill prop. The target virtual object is a second virtual object in a wing-mounted state, and the second virtual object and the first virtual object belong to different camps.

In one possible implementation, step 1106 includes the steps of:

in step 1106a, in response to the target virtual object being located in the first preset area, the location identifier of the target virtual object is displayed in the map display control, where the first preset area is an area centered on the location of the first virtual object.

When the target virtual object exists in the first preset area, the terminal displays the position identification of the target virtual object through the map display control, wherein the position identification is different from the position identifications of other virtual objects, for example, the position identification of the target virtual object is different from the position identifications of other virtual objects in color and/or shape, so as to remind the user that the target virtual object exists nearby and needs to be kept vigilant. As shown in fig. 14, the terminal displays the location identifier 1401 of the target virtual object through the map presentation control.

In step 1106b, in response to the target virtual object being located in the second preset area, a preset special effect is displayed at the edge of the virtual environment interface.

The second preset area is an area taking the position of the first virtual object as the center, and the second preset area is in the first preset area. For example, the first preset area is a circular area with a radius of 150m centered on the position of the first virtual object, and the second preset area is a circular area with a radius of 100m centered on the position of the first virtual object.

In one possible implementation, when the target virtual object exists in the second preset area, the terminal displays a preset special effect on the edge of the virtual environment interface to prompt the user that the target virtual object exists in a relatively short distance. As shown in fig. 14, when the target virtual object exists in the second preset area, the terminal displays a preset special effect (an area surrounded by a curve and an interface edge in the figure) at the interface edge of the virtual environment, for example, displays a red blinking special effect in a preset range.

Step 1107 controls the first virtual object to hold the target firing prop in response to the selection operation of the target firing prop.

The target skill prop also has the function of increasing the filling speed of the target firing prop (e.g., rocket cannon), which is a passive skill that does not require active triggering by the user, and which immediately takes effect when the first virtual object is equipped with the target virtual prop until the first virtual object unloads the target skill prop. The target shooting prop is used for reducing the attribute value of the hit virtual object.

In response to the priming operation, step 1108, priming the target firing prop at a target priming rate that is greater than a default priming rate, the default priming rate being a rate at which the target firing prop is primed without the target skill prop.

When the target shooting prop lacks replenishment (for example, the number of shells in the rocket gun is 0), the target shooting prop can be filled and replenished through filling operation, and if the first virtual object is provided with the target skill prop at the moment, the terminal fills the target shooting prop according to the target filling speed. For example, the target fill speed is 120% of the default fill speed.

In the embodiment of the application, the target skill prop is equipped for the first virtual object, and the target skill and the passive skill are added for the first virtual object, wherein the passive skill comprises a investigation skill for the target virtual object and a skill for improving the filling speed of the target shooting prop, so that when the target skill is not triggered and released by a user, the remote combat capability of the first virtual object can be improved, and the practicability and the utilization rate of the target skill prop are improved.
