Less actions/activities can be implemented from the virtual object, which corresponds to less interactivity.

In conjunction with the above noun explanations, an implementation environment of the embodiments of the present application will be explained. FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a computer system provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The computer system 100 includes: a first device 110, a second device 120, a server 130, and a communication network 140.

The application program can be any one of a virtual reality application program, a three-dimensional map program, a military simulation program, a TPS game, an FPS game, an MOBA game and a multi-player gunfight living game. Wherein the first device 110 is a device used by a first user, the second device 120 is a device used by a second user, and the first user controls a first main virtual object located in the virtual environment to perform an activity through the first device 110, the activity including but not limited to: adjusting at least one of body posture, crawling, walking, running, riding, jumping, driving, picking up, and shooting. The second user controls a second main virtual object located in the virtual environment to perform an activity through the second device 120, wherein the first main virtual object and the second main virtual object may be in a teammate relationship or a hostile relationship. The first and second master virtual objects may be virtual characters, such as simulated characters or cartoon characters.

The first device 110 and the second device 120 are connected to the server 130 through the communication network 140. The device types include: at least one of a game console, a desktop computer, a smartphone, a tablet, an e-book reader, an MP3 player, an MP4 player, and a laptop portable computer.

The server 130 includes at least one of a server, a plurality of servers, a cloud computing platform, and a virtualization center. The server 130 is used to provide background services for applications that support a three-dimensional virtual environment. Optionally, server 130 undertakes primary computing work and first device 110 and second device 120 undertakes secondary computing work; alternatively, the server 130 undertakes secondary computing work and the first device 110 and the second device 120 undertake primary computing work; alternatively, the server 130, the first device 110, and the second device 120 perform cooperative computing by using a distributed computing architecture.

In this embodiment, a first user controls a first master virtual object through the first device 110, where the first master virtual object corresponds to a first slave virtual object, and the first slave virtual object may receive a control operation of the first user. Illustratively, the first device 110 sends a control operation on the first slave virtual object, the first device 110 generates a corresponding control request according to the control operation, sends the control request to the server 130, and after the server 130 determines the affiliation of the first slave virtual object according to the control request, the server 130 controls the first slave virtual object to execute a control function corresponding to the control request, taking the control function as a scout function as an example, the server 130 controls the first slave virtual object to scan an area within a target range. When the server 130 receives the movement control request of the second master virtual object sent by the second device 120, in response to determining that the position of the second master virtual object corresponding to the movement control request after movement is within the target range and the first slave virtual object is performing the scanning operation, the server sends the position information of the second master virtual object to the first device 110, and the first device 110 displays the spy information of the second master virtual object according to the position information.

With reference to the foregoing implementation environment, an application scenario of the embodiment of the present application is schematically described.

In the embodiment of the present application, the virtual environment-based reconnaissance method is schematically illustrated as being applied to a shooting game, and the method may also be applied to applications such as a massively multiplayer online role playing game, a multiplayer online tactical competition game, a virtual reality application, a three-dimensional map program, and a military simulation program, which are not limited herein.

The user controls the main virtual object to move in the virtual environment, and in order to ensure the survival of the main virtual object, the enemy virtual object which threatens the safety of the user needs to be killed so as to ensure the survival of the main virtual object to the end of the game. The enemy virtual object may be an enemy master virtual object manipulated by another user, or may be a Non-player Character (NPC) virtual object controlled by an AI. Taking the above virtual environment as a three-dimensional scene as an example, the visual field range corresponding to the main virtual object controlled by the user is limited, generally, the visual field range is within a certain distance in a certain range, and the visual field range can be blocked due to the existence of an obstacle. Since the view situation that the user acquires through the main virtual object is limited, the user cannot guarantee to pay attention to the situation of the enemy virtual object in each direction.

In the embodiment of the application, the reconnaissance function is realized through the slave virtual object, and the reconnaissance information is provided for the master virtual object, so that the information acquisition efficiency of a user in a virtual environment is improved, and the functional diversity of the slave virtual object is improved. Illustratively, a user sends a scout control operation to the slave virtual object, instructs the slave virtual object to scout a target scout object in the virtual environment, the slave virtual object scans the virtual environment within a scanning range after receiving an instruction corresponding to the scout control operation, and when the target scout object is scanned, corresponding scout information is displayed on a virtual environment interface to prompt a user who operates the master virtual object to have the target scout object within the scanning range of the slave virtual object, so as to ensure that the user can timely obtain information of the target scout object in the surrounding virtual environment.

Referring to fig. 2, a flowchart of a virtual environment-based reconnaissance method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown, where the method is performed by a first device in the computer system, and the method includes:

step 201, displaying a slave virtual object, wherein the slave virtual object is located in a virtual environment, and the virtual environment further comprises a master virtual object.

In this embodiment of the present application, the virtual environment includes a master virtual object and a slave virtual object, the master virtual object is a virtual object body controlled by a user, the slave virtual object is a virtual object having an attribution relationship with the master virtual object, that is, the slave virtual object is an auxiliary virtual object of the master virtual object, and the slave virtual object can provide a functional service for the master virtual object. Wherein the user has a higher interactivity with the master virtual object than with the slave virtual object. In one example, the master virtual object is a user-controlled virtual hero and the slave virtual object is a virtual pet belonging to the virtual hero.

A virtual environment interface is displayed in the first device, where the virtual environment interface includes a picture of a main virtual object observing a virtual environment, and schematically, the virtual environment picture is a picture of the main virtual object observing the virtual environment in a view angle direction, and optionally, the view angle direction may be a first person view angle or a third person view angle, which is not limited herein. The first person perspective is a perspective corresponding to a picture that can be observed by a main virtual object in a virtual environment, and the picture corresponding to the first person perspective does not include the main virtual object, such as an arm and a virtual gun that can only see the main virtual object; the third person refers to a viewing angle, that is, a viewing angle from which the main virtual object is observed through the camera model in the virtual environment, a picture corresponding to the third person refers to the viewing angle and includes the main virtual object itself, and the camera model is usually located behind the main virtual object to observe the main virtual object, such as a three-dimensional model of the main virtual object and a virtual prop (e.g., a virtual gun) held by the main virtual object.

At step 202, a scout control operation for a slave virtual object is received.

A scout control operation is used to instruct scout from the virtual object on the target scout object in the virtual environment. Illustratively, the manner of receiving the above-mentioned spy control operation by the first device may be by receiving a shortcut key operation signal, or by receiving a touch signal on the control. Illustratively, when the shortcut key corresponding to the shortcut key operation signal is the target shortcut key, the first device determines to receive the scout control operation, for example, by inputting the shortcut key signal corresponding to the "P" key in the keyboard connected to the first device. Illustratively, when a control of the slave virtual object is included in the virtual environment interface, when a touch signal on the control is received, it is determined that a scout control operation is received.

Illustratively, the scout control operation corresponds to a control type, and different scout functions can be realized by triggering scout control operations of different control types. In the embodiment of the present application, the control type corresponding to the spy control operation includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following types:

following scout type

The follow-scout type scout control operation is used to instruct the slave virtual object to scout the target scout object within the scanning range during the movement following the master virtual object. As shown in fig. 3, in the virtual environment screen 310, the master virtual object 301 and the slave virtual object 302 are located at the first position, the scanning range corresponding to the slave virtual object 302 is the first range 311, when the master virtual object 301 moves, the slave virtual object 302 moves following the master virtual object 301, in the virtual environment screen 320, the master virtual object 301 and the slave virtual object 302 are located at the second position, and the scanning range corresponding to the slave virtual object 302 is the second range 321, wherein the first range 311 and the second range 321 correspond to the same range size and different positions.

(II) type of stay reconnaissance

The stay reconnaissance type reconnaissance control operation is used for indicating that the slave virtual object stays at the target position and reconnaissance is performed on the target reconnaissance object in the scanning range. Illustratively, the target position may be a fixed scout point in the preset virtual environment, or a target scout point in the virtual environment manually set by the user.

(III) type of route planning scout

A planned-route reconnaissance type of reconnaissance control operates to instruct movement of the virtual object in the virtual environment along a target route, reconnaissance of the surrounding virtual environment during the movement. Illustratively, the target route may be a preset scout route or a scout route manually input by a user. In one example, a user may call a drawing area of a target route through a preset shortcut key or a preset control, where the drawing area may include a map corresponding to a virtual environment, and the user may draw the target route based on the map, and may move and scout from a virtual object according to the target route after the drawing is completed.

Illustratively, the reconnaissance control operation received by the first device further corresponds to a reconnaissance time length corresponding to the execution of the reconnaissance function by the virtual object, and the reconnaissance time length may be preset by the system or may be manually set by the user.

The first equipment generates a reconnaissance control instruction according to the reconnaissance control operation after receiving the reconnaissance control operation aiming at the slave virtual object, and sends the reconnaissance control instruction to the server, and the server controls the slave virtual object to execute a reconnaissance function after receiving the reconnaissance control instruction. Illustratively, the scout control instruction carries a control type identifier corresponding to the scout control operation, an object identifier corresponding to the slave virtual object, and a scout duration, and the server determines a target scout mode executed by the slave virtual object according to the control type identifier and instructs the slave virtual object to scan the target scout object within the scanning range within the scout duration.

And step 203, displaying a scanning process of scouting in the virtual environment in a target scouting mode from the virtual object based on the scout control operation.

Illustratively, the target reconnaissance mode of the virtual object is determined according to the control type corresponding to the reconnaissance control operation, that is, the control type of the reconnaissance control operation and the target reconnaissance mode have a corresponding relationship.

Illustratively, the target detection mode is determined by detection time, detection frequency and control type. The scout time is used for indicating the time length of scout performed by the slave virtual object, and the scout frequency is used for indicating the scanning frequency of the slave virtual object to the virtual environment in the scanning process. Optionally, the reconnaissance time and the reconnaissance frequency corresponding to the target reconnaissance mode may be manually set by a user, or may be preset reconnaissance time and reconnaissance frequency corresponding to the control type.

In the embodiment of the application, after the control type is determined according to the reconnaissance control operation, when the control type corresponds to the following reconnaissance type, displaying a scanning process of reconnaissance of the slave virtual object in the virtual environment in a first reconnaissance mode, wherein the slave virtual object moves along with the master virtual object in the first reconnaissance mode; when the control type corresponds to the stopping reconnaissance type, displaying a scanning process of reconnaissance of the slave virtual object in the virtual environment in a second reconnaissance mode, and stopping the slave virtual object at the target position in the second reconnaissance mode; and when the control type corresponds to the planned route scout type, displaying a scanning process of scouting the slave virtual object in the virtual environment in a third scout mode, and moving the slave virtual object in the virtual environment according to the target route in the third scout mode.

At step 204, scout information is displayed in response to the target scout object being scanned from the virtual object.

The scout information is used to provide the master virtual object with information of the target scout object in the virtual environment. Optionally, the spy information is only displayed by the first device corresponding to the main virtual object, that is, only the user controlling the main virtual object can obtain the spy information; the reconnaissance information is shared by the main virtual object and the teammate main virtual object, and the teammate main virtual object is a virtual object having a teammate relationship with the main virtual object, namely, both a user including the main virtual object and a user of the teammate virtual object can obtain the reconnaissance information.

Alternatively, the target scout object is determined to be scanned from the virtual object when the target scout object enters the scanning range of the slave virtual object, i.e., the target scout object is determined to be scanned from the virtual object in response to the target scout object being within the scanning range of the slave virtual object.

Optionally, the scanning ray may be released from the virtual object during the process of scouting the virtual environment, and the target scout object is determined to be scanned from the virtual object when the scanning ray from the virtual object collides with the target scout object, that is, the target scout object is determined to be scanned from the virtual object in response to the collision of the scanning ray from the virtual object with the target scout object.

The target scout object is illustratively a hostile virtual object, which may be another main virtual object controlled by a hostile banked player, or an NPC virtual object having a hostile relationship with a current main virtual object, and is not limited herein.

Illustratively, the scout information includes, but is not limited to, the following target scout information:

(one), direction information

The direction information is used to indicate the direction of the position of the target scout object relative to the position of the main virtual object. That is, in response to the target scout being scanned from the virtual object, the direction information of the target scout is displayed.

Illustratively, the direction information may be displayed in a map area in the virtual environment interface, or may be displayed in a virtual environment area in the virtual environment interface.

In one example, a first direction identification of the target scout object is displayed in a map area in the virtual environment interface, as shown in fig. 4, a master virtual object identification 401 and a slave virtual object identification 402 are displayed in the map area 400, and after the target scout object is scanned from the slave virtual object identification 402 within the scanning range, the first direction identification is displayed in the map area 400 according to the direction of the target scout object relative to the master virtual object 401, as shown by a shaded area 403 in fig. 4.

In one example, the second direction indication of the target scout object is displayed in the virtual environment region in the virtual environment interface, and as shown in fig. 5, after the target scout object is scanned from the virtual object within the scanning range, the second direction indication 503 is displayed in the rotating axis direction indicator 504 in the virtual environment region 500 according to the direction of the target scout object relative to the main virtual object 501. Illustratively, the directional display of the target scout object may also be realized by a directional indicator superimposed on a virtual environment area in the virtual environment interface, the directional indicator indicating only one direction.

(II) position information

The location information is used to indicate the location of the target scout object in the virtual environment. That is, in response to the target scout being scanned from the virtual object, the position information of the target scout is displayed.

Illustratively, the location information may be displayed in a map area of the virtual environment interface, or may be displayed in a virtual environment area of the virtual environment interface.

In one example, a first location identifier of a target scout object is displayed in a map area in the virtual environment interface, as shown in fig. 6, a master virtual object identifier 601 and a slave virtual object identifier 602 are displayed in the map area 600, and after the target scout object is scanned within a scanning range from the slave virtual object 602, a first location identifier 603 is displayed in the map area 600.

In one example, the second location identification of the target scout object is displayed in a virtual environment region in the virtual environment interface, as shown in fig. 7, the virtual environment region 700 includes a master virtual object 701 and a slave virtual object, and the second location identification 703 is displayed in the virtual environment region 700 after the slave virtual object scans the target scout object within the scanning range.

(III) State information

The state information is used to indicate a virtual object state condition of the target scout object. Illustratively, the state information may include a virtual life value (HP) of the target scout, a virtual magic value (man Point, MP), equipment information, and the like.

In the embodiment of the present application, the reconnaissance information includes a target reconnaissance object displayed with a target highlighting effect, where the target highlighting effect has an ability to indicate the target reconnaissance object through an obstacle, that is, when the target reconnaissance object is scanned from the virtual object, even if an obstacle exists between the main virtual object and the target reconnaissance object, the main virtual object can observe the target reconnaissance object displayed with the target highlighting effect through the obstacle, and the visual effect when the target reconnaissance object is reconnaissance is enhanced.

In the embodiment of the present application, when a target scout is scanned from a virtual object, the target scout is rendered and displayed with a target highlighting effect.

The target pop-up effect corresponds to a material identifier, and the material identifier is used for uniquely identifying an effect rendering material corresponding to the target pop-up effect, wherein the effect rendering material may be downloaded by the first device from the server in real time, or preloaded in the storage area by the first device. In one example, when an application program corresponding to the virtual environment is installed, the first device downloads a valid effect rendering material package in advance, the valid effect rendering material package comprises an effect rendering material corresponding to the target salient effect, when the target scout object is not scouted from the virtual object, the target scout object is rendered and displayed by using the original effect rendering material, when the target scout object is scouted from the virtual object, the first device determines the target effect rendering material from the effect rendering material package according to a material identifier corresponding to the target salient effect, and renders and displays the target scout object.

Responding to the scanning of the target scout object from the virtual object, the first equipment acquires a material identifier corresponding to the target highlighting effect, acquires a corresponding effect rendering material according to the material identifier, mounts the effect rendering material on a virtual model corresponding to the target scout object, and displays the target scout object with the target highlighting effect.

Optionally, the target highlighting effect includes displaying the target scout object with different skin materials, and the first device renders the target scout object with the target skin material by changing the skin material corresponding to the target scout object, so as to display the target scout object with the target highlighting effect, and enhance the visual effect when the target scout object is scout.

Optionally, the target highlighting effect includes displaying the target scout with a stroke effect, and the first device renders the target scout with the target stroke effect by adding the stroke effect to the target scout, so as to display the target scout with the target highlighting effect, and enhance a visual effect when the target scout is detected. Illustratively, the thickness of the delineation line corresponding to the delineation effect may also be in a positive correlation with the distance between the target scout object and the main virtual object, that is, when the detected target scout object is farther from the main virtual object, the corresponding delineation line is thinner, and the target scout object is closer to the main virtual object, and the corresponding delineation line is thicker.

Optionally, the target highlighting effect further corresponds to a negative state (deboff) identifier, and the negative state identifier may be displayed in a state column corresponding to the target scout. Illustratively, the negative state corresponding to the target highlighting effect also corresponds to a state display duration, that is, the display duration of the target scout is displayed with the target highlighting effect. In one example, the display duration of the state after each scan from the virtual object is 3 seconds, that is, when the target scout object is scanned from the virtual object, the target scout object is displayed with the target highlighting effect within 3 seconds, and the target scout object may carry a negative state identifier, and the display duration of the identifier in the state bar is 3 seconds.

Illustratively, the target highlighting effect corresponds to a transparency, and the first device determines the number of obstacles between the target scout and the main virtual object, and displays the target scout under the target highlighting effect with the transparency corresponding to the number of obstacles. In one example, the transparency is higher for the target highlighting effect when the number of obstacles between the target scout object and the main virtual object is larger, and the transparency is lower for the target highlighting effect when the number of obstacles between the target scout object and the main virtual object is smaller.

In summary, according to the reconnaissance method based on the virtual environment provided in the embodiment of the present application, the master virtual object carrying the slave virtual object can reconnaissance the target reconnaissance object in the virtual environment through the slave virtual object, when receiving a reconnaissance control operation for the slave virtual object, a scanning process of reconnaissance of the slave virtual object in the virtual environment in a target reconnaissance manner is displayed, and when the target reconnaissance object is scanned from the virtual object, reconnaissance information corresponding to the target reconnaissance object is displayed, where the reconnaissance information includes the target reconnaissance object displayed with a target highlighting effect, and the target highlighting effect has an ability of indicating the target reconnaissance object through an obstacle. By implementing the scout function from the virtual object, the functional diversity of the slave virtual object is improved, and the adaptability of the slave virtual object in various application programs is also improved.

step 801, displaying the slave virtual object.

At step 802, a scout control operation for a slave virtual object is received.

A scout control operation is used to instruct scout from the virtual object on the target scout object in the virtual environment. Illustratively, the manner of receiving the above-mentioned spy control operation by the first device may be by receiving a shortcut key operation signal, or by receiving a touch signal on the control.

And step 803, determining a control type corresponding to the scout control operation.

Illustratively, the reconnaissance control operation corresponds to a control type, and different reconnaissance functions can be realized by triggering different control types of reconnaissance control operations. In the embodiment of the application, the control types include a following reconnaissance type, a stop reconnaissance type and a planned route reconnaissance type. In one example, scout control operations of different control types are triggered by different shortcut keys, when the first device receives a trigger signal of the shortcut key "F1", it is determined that the control type of the received scout control operation corresponds to a following scout type, when the first device receives a trigger signal of the shortcut key "F2", it is determined that the control type of the received scout control operation corresponds to a stay scout type, and when the first device receives a trigger signal of the shortcut key "F3", it is determined that the control type of the received scout control operation corresponds to a planned route scout type.

And step 804, in response to determining that the control type of the scout control operation corresponds to the follow scout type, displaying a scanning process of scout from the virtual object in the virtual environment in the first scout mode.

The slave virtual object moves following the master virtual object in the first reconnaissance mode.

The method comprises the steps that a first device generates a reconnaissance control instruction according to reconnaissance operation and sends the reconnaissance control instruction to a server, the server determines that a reconnaissance type corresponds to a following reconnaissance type according to a reconnaissance type identifier carried in the reconnaissance control instruction, determines that a target reconnaissance mode is a first reconnaissance mode according to a mapping relation between the reconnaissance type and the target reconnaissance mode, sends reconnaissance time, reconnaissance frequency, a scanning range and the reconnaissance operation corresponding to the first reconnaissance mode to the first device, and the first device controls a virtual object to execute the reconnaissance operation on a virtual environment in the scanning range within the reconnaissance time at the reconnaissance frequency. In one example, the scout time corresponds to 10 minutes, the scout frequency corresponds to 10 seconds/time, the scanning range corresponds to a circular range with a radius of 50 meters, and the slave virtual object scans the virtual environment in the scanning range at a frequency of 10 seconds/time when moving along with the master virtual object after the user gives an instruction corresponding to the scout control operation, and the scout duration lasts for 10 minutes.

In response to the target scout being scanned from the virtual object, a target distance of the target scout is determined, step 805.

The target distance is used for indicating the distance between the position of the target reconnaissance object and the position of the main virtual object. In the embodiment of the present application, in the process of scouting the scanning range from the virtual object, if the target scout object is scanned from the virtual object, it is determined that the target scout object is scout from the virtual object, and the distance between the target scout object and the main virtual object is determined.

Step 806, in response to the target distance reaching the first preset distance, displaying the direction information of the target scout object relative to the main virtual object.

The direction information is used to indicate the direction of the position of the target scout object relative to the position of the main virtual object. Optionally, the first preset distance may be a fixed distance, or may be a distance associated with the slave virtual object, for example, the slave virtual object corresponds to a virtual level, and the size of the first preset distance is in a positive correlation with the virtual level of the slave virtual object.

When the target distance of the target reconnaissance object is determined to reach the first preset distance, only the direction information of the target reconnaissance object relative to the main virtual object is displayed, namely, because the reconnaissance object is far away from the main virtual object, the corresponding reconnaissance effect is poor, and only the direction information is displayed. In one example, the directional information is displayed in a map area in the virtual environment interface.

Step 807, in response to the target distance being less than the first preset distance, displaying the position information of the target scout.

The position information is used to indicate the position of the target scout object in the virtual environment. And when the target distance of the target scout is determined to be smaller than the first preset distance, displaying the position information of the target scout, namely, displaying the position information of the target scout if the corresponding scout effect is better because the scout target is closer to the main virtual object. Illustratively, when the target distance is smaller than the first preset distance, both the direction information and the position information of the target scout object may be displayed, as shown in fig. 9, a master virtual object 901 and a slave virtual object 902 are displayed in a virtual environment region in the virtual environment interface, the slave virtual object 902 is in a following state, the virtual environment interface 900 includes a map region 910, a master virtual object identifier and a slave virtual object identifier are displayed in the map region 910, and when the target scout object is scanned from the virtual object 902 and the target distance between the target scout object and the master virtual object is smaller than the first preset distance, the direction information of the target scout object is displayed in the map region 910 through a shaded region 903, and the position information of the target scout object is displayed through a second position identifier 904.

In summary, according to the reconnaissance method based on the virtual environment provided in the embodiment of the present application, the master virtual object carrying the slave virtual object may reconnaissance the target reconnaissance object in the virtual environment through the slave virtual object, when a reconnaissance control operation for the slave virtual object is received, and a control type corresponding to the reconnaissance control operation is a follow-on reconnaissance type, the slave virtual object may reconnaissance the virtual environment within a scanning range while moving along with the master virtual object, when the target reconnaissance object is scanned by the slave virtual object, according to a relationship between a target distance between the target reconnaissance object and the master virtual object and a first preset distance, display reconnaissance information having different information amounts, that is, when the target distance reaches the first preset distance, only display direction information of the target reconnaissance object, and when the target distance is smaller than the first preset distance, the position information of the target reconnaissance object is displayed, so that the functional diversity of the slave virtual object is improved, and the adaptability of the slave virtual object in various application programs is improved.

And 1004, in response to determining that the control type of the scout control operation corresponds to the stay scout type, displaying a scanning process of scout from the virtual object in the virtual environment in a second scout mode.

The slave virtual object stays at the target position in the second reconnaissance mode.

The method comprises the steps that a first device generates a reconnaissance control instruction according to reconnaissance operation and sends the reconnaissance control instruction to a server, the server determines that a reconnaissance type corresponds to a stop reconnaissance type according to a reconnaissance type identifier carried in the reconnaissance control instruction, determines that a target reconnaissance mode is a second reconnaissance mode according to a mapping relation between the reconnaissance type and the target reconnaissance mode, sends reconnaissance time, reconnaissance frequency, a scanning range and the reconnaissance operation corresponding to the second reconnaissance mode to the first device, and the first device controls a virtual object to execute the reconnaissance operation on a virtual environment in the scanning range within the reconnaissance time at the reconnaissance frequency.

Step 1005, in response to the target scout being scanned from the virtual object, determines a number of obstacles between the target scout and the master virtual object.

In the embodiment of the present application, the target highlighting effect corresponds to a highlighting-style display effect, and when the target scout is scanned from the virtual object within the scanning range, the target scout is displayed in a highlighting style in a virtual environment region in the virtual environment interface. As shown in fig. 11, a master virtual object 1101 and a slave virtual object 1102 are displayed in the virtual environment interface 1100, and when the target scout object 1103 is scanned in a scanning range 1110 from the slave virtual object 1102, the target scout object 1103 is displayed in a highlighted manner.

Illustratively, the highlight patterns correspond to different brightnesses.

Optionally, when an obstacle exists between the target scout object and the main virtual object, the target scout object is displayed in a highlight mode with preset brightness in the virtual environment interface.

Optionally, the brightness is related to the number of obstacles between the target scout object and the main virtual object, and in one example, a negative correlation between the brightness of the target scout object and the number of obstacles is displayed. Illustratively, the number of the obstacles is obtained according to the number of the virtual articles collided with the collision detection line segment by establishing the collision detection line segment between the target scout object and the main virtual object.

And after the number of the obstacles is determined, determining the brightness for displaying the target virtual object according to the mapping relation between the number of the obstacles and the brightness data, and displaying the target scout object by the brightness corresponding to the number of the obstacles.

Illustratively, when the slave virtual object scans the virtual environment within the scanning range, the device may detect, at intervals of time, a circular region centered on the slave virtual object according to the scout frequency, detect whether a target scout object exists, and if the target scout object is detected, add a negative effect to the target scout object. As shown in fig. 12, a scanning range 1204 is scanned from a virtual object 1202, and when it is determined that a target scout 1203 exists within the scanning range 1204, the apparatus modifies a skin material corresponding to the target scout 1203 and increases a stroking effect.

In some embodiments, the reconnaissance function of the slave virtual object not only enables reconnaissance of the target reconnaissance object, but also reconnaissance of the virtual item in the virtual environment, displaying item information.

Illustratively, after the target virtual object is scanned from the virtual object within the scanning range, the object information corresponding to the target virtual object is displayed in the virtual environment interface. The target virtual object may be a virtual item, a virtual firearm, or the like in the virtual environment that can be picked up by the master virtual object, and the target virtual item may be set by the system or may be designated by the user. For example, when the user wants to acquire the virtual firearm M416, the user sets the virtual firearm M416 to be scout from the virtual object when performing a scout control operation on the virtual object, and when the virtual object is scanned from within the scanning range to the virtual firearm M416, the virtual firearm M416 is displayed in a highlighted manner in the virtual environment interface, and the user can know where the virtual firearm M416 is located.

The target virtual article can be scanned by the virtual object, the state corresponding to the target virtual article is determined, if the target virtual article corresponds to the used state, the target virtual article is displayed in a highlighted mode in the virtual environment interface, for example, when a virtual door scanned from the virtual object to the scanning range is in an open state, the virtual door is displayed in a highlighted mode, and when the virtual supply box is scanned and picked up, the virtual supply box is displayed in a highlighted mode. The target virtual article is displayed according to the using state of the target virtual article, so that richer information in a virtual environment can be provided for a user, and the target virtual article is warned.

Referring to fig. 13, a flowchart of a slave virtual object display method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown, where a home relationship exists between a slave virtual object and a master virtual object, and the method includes:

The slave virtual object can be summoned by directly using the target prop, and the summoning of the slave virtual object can also be realized by meeting the use condition of the target prop. In the embodiment of the application, the use of the target prop corresponds to the use condition. In one example, the target prop corresponds to an energy bar, and when the master virtual object accumulates sufficient energy in the virtual environment, the master virtual object may summon the slave virtual object by using the target prop, e.g., when the master virtual object kills the virtual object, a certain amount of energy may be accumulated.

Illustratively, the manner of receiving the call operation by the first device may be by receiving a shortcut key operation signal, or by receiving a touch signal on a control.

Step 1305, in response to determining that the master virtual object owns the slave virtual object, displaying the slave virtual object.

The first device determines that the master virtual object owns the slave virtual object based on a call operation to the slave virtual object. Illustratively, a calling instruction corresponding to the calling operation carries a first object identifier of a slave virtual object to be called and a second object identifier of a master virtual object sending the calling instruction, the first device sends the calling instruction to the server, the server determines an affiliation relationship between the master virtual object and the slave virtual object according to the first object identifier and the second object identifier, determines that the master virtual object executing the calling operation owns the slave virtual object, and then sends instruction information for displaying the slave virtual object to the first device, and the first device displays the slave virtual object according to the instruction information.
