The embodiment of the application provides a virtual role control method which can be executed by a terminal or a server. The embodiments of the present application will be described with an example in which a virtual character control method is executed by a terminal. The terminal comprises a display component and a processor, wherein the display component is used for presenting a graphical user interface and receiving operation instructions generated by a user acting on the display component. When a user operates the graphical user interface through the display component, the graphical user interface can control the local content of the terminal through responding to the received operation instruction, and can also control the content of the opposite-end server through responding to the received operation instruction. For example, the user-generated operational instructions for the graphical user interface include instructions for launching the gaming application, and the processor is configured to launch the gaming application after receiving the user-provided instructions for launching the gaming application. Further, the processor is configured to render and draw a graphical user interface associated with the game on the touch-sensitive display screen. A touch display screen is a multi-touch-sensitive screen capable of sensing touch or slide operations performed simultaneously by a plurality of points on the screen. The user performs touch operation on the graphical user interface by using a finger, and when the graphical user interface detects the touch operation, the graphical user interface controls different virtual objects in the graphical user interface of the game to perform actions corresponding to the touch operation. For example, the game may be any one of a leisure game, an action game, a role playing game, a strategy game, a sports game, an educational game, a first person shooter game (First person shooting game, FPS), and the like.

Such skills or capabilities may be activated by the player of the game using one of a plurality of preset touch operations with the touch display screen of the terminal. The processor may be configured to present a corresponding game screen in response to an operation instruction generated by a touch operation of the user.

It should be noted that, the system schematic diagram of the virtual character control system shown in fig. 1a is only an example, and the virtual character control system and the scenario described in the embodiments of the present application are for more clearly describing the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and do not constitute a limitation to the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application, and those skilled in the art can know that, with the evolution of the virtual character control system and the appearance of a new service scenario, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application are equally applicable to similar technical problems.

In this embodiment, description will be made from the viewpoint of a virtual character control apparatus which can be integrated in a computer device having a storage unit and a microprocessor mounted thereon and having arithmetic capability.

Referring to fig. 1b, fig. 1b is a schematic flow chart of a virtual character control method according to an embodiment of the present application. The virtual character control method comprises the following steps:

in step 101, a graphical user interface is displayed, the graphical user interface comprising at least a portion of a virtual scene, at least a portion of a virtual object located in the virtual scene, and a designated response area.

The three-dimensional virtual environment is provided when the application program runs on the terminal, and can be a simulation environment for the real world, a semi-simulation and semi-fictitious environment or a pure fictitious environment. The environment picture displayed on the graphic user interface is an environment picture presented when the virtual object observes the three-dimensional virtual environment. The user controls the virtual object in the game scene through the terminal, the virtual object can observe the three-dimensional virtual environment through the camera model, taking the FPS game as an example, when the virtual object is in the first person view angle, the camera model is positioned at the head or neck of the first virtual object, and only the arm part of the virtual character can be displayed in the graphical user interface; when in the third person viewing angle, the camera model is positioned behind the first virtual object, and only the upper body portion of the virtual character can be displayed in the graphical user interface. The graphic user interface is an environment picture presented by observing the three-dimensional virtual environment through the camera model at a certain view angle. The designated response area is a response area corresponding to the designated control function, wherein the designated control function can be displayed in a visual form in the graphical user interface. For example, the functional control corresponding to the specified control function is set in the graphical user interface, and the specified response area may be a display area corresponding to the functional control, or include a display area, and the like, which is not limited herein. The designated control function is a control function of the virtual character that is controlled simultaneously with at least one other control function of the plurality of control functions. For example, the aim control function may be implemented simultaneously with the left probe control function to control the virtual character, so that the aim control function or the left probe control function may be implemented as a designated control function, while the left and right walk control functions may not be implemented simultaneously to control the virtual character, so that neither the left nor right walk control functions may be implemented as designated control functions.

Specifically, referring to fig. 1c, fig. 1c is a schematic diagram of a user interface according to an embodiment of the present application. The user interface is presented by a screen of terminal 1000, and includes in the user interface a virtual object 10 manipulated by a user, and an aiming identification 20 for prompting an aiming position of a virtual weapon in the user interface, a cursor control 30 prompting current direction information of the virtual object 10 by the user, a movement control 40 controlling movement of the virtual object 10 in a three-dimensional virtual environment, and an aiming control 50 that can be used when the first virtual object 10 is attacked, and a map control 60 prompting a position of the first virtual object 10 by the user in the three-dimensional virtual environment, and an attack control 70 controlling an attack operation of the first virtual object 10 in the three-dimensional virtual environment, etc. An indication control 31 is further disposed in the cursor control 30, and is used for indicating the direction of the first virtual object 10 in the cursor control 30.

In step 102, when a character control operation is detected, a control position where the character control operation acts on the graphical user interface is acquired.

The character control operation is an operation of a user with respect to a graphical user interface displayed in the terminal, such as a click operation, a slide operation, or the like. In order to determine the control function required by the user, it is necessary to determine the control position where the character control operation acts in the graphical user interface.

Specifically, a two-dimensional coordinate system is established with the upper left corner in the graphical user interface as the origin. Since the character control operation is a click operation or a slide operation, when the user generates the character control operation with respect to the graphic user interface, coordinates of the character control operation acting in the graphic user interface can be determined by a voltage change of a built-in circuit in the terminal display screen. The coordinates are control positions where the character control operation acts on the graphical user interface.

In step 103, in response to the control position starting from the specified response area, determining a specified control function corresponding to the specified response area, and controlling the virtual object to implement the specified control function.

Wherein the control position starts from the designated response area, i.e., the character control operation starts from the designated response area. Therefore, the specified control function corresponding to the specified response area can be determined, and the virtual object is controlled to realize the specified control function.

For example, when the control position starts from the response area corresponding to the aiming control, the virtual object is controlled to realize the aiming function.

In some embodiments, after the step of controlling the virtual object to implement the specified control function, further comprising:

And displaying associated function controls around the appointed response area, wherein associated control functions corresponding to the associated function controls are used for being associated with the appointed control functions, so that the virtual roles are controlled simultaneously with the appointed control functions.

Fig. 1d is a schematic diagram of displaying an associated function control according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 1 d. After the virtual object is controlled to realize the appointed control function, the associated function control can be actively displayed around the appointed response area, and the associated control function corresponding to the associated function control is used for being associated with the appointed control function, so that the virtual role is controlled simultaneously with the appointed control function.

Specifically, as shown in the left probe control 80 and the right probe control 90 in fig. 1d, the left probe control 80 and the right probe control 90 are associated functional controls of the aiming control 50, so that a user is prompted to control the virtual object to realize the aiming function, and the virtual character can be simultaneously controlled to realize the left probe function or the right probe function.

In some embodiments, the step of displaying the associated functionality control around the designated response area includes:

(1) Acquiring the acting time length of the role control operation in the appointed response area;

(2) And when the action duration is longer than the preset duration, displaying the related function controls around the appointed response area.

In order to determine whether a user needs to control a virtual object to realize a plurality of different control functions, a judging mode can be set, wherein the judging mode is to acquire the acting time length of role control operation in a designated response area, and when the acting time length is longer than a preset time length, relevant function controls are displayed on the periphery of the designated response area, so that the user is prompted to realize the relevant functions of the virtual role through the role control operation; when the action duration is smaller than the preset duration, the user is indicated that the virtual character is only required to realize the specified control function corresponding to the specified response area, and the related function control can not be displayed in the graphical user interface.

Specifically, the preset duration may be set to 1 second, 2 seconds, etc., which is not limited herein.

In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

and when the action duration is smaller than the preset duration, if the sight direction adjustment operation aiming at the appointed response area is detected, adjusting the sight direction of the virtual character.

When the player aims, the sight direction during aiming needs to be adjusted, so that the sight direction adjusting operation can be performed in the appointed response area when the action duration is smaller than the preset duration, and the sight direction of the virtual character is adjusted.

Specifically, the line-of-sight direction adjustment operation may be a sliding operation or the like for a specified response area, and is not limited herein.

In step 104, in response to the control position acting on the target function response area, a target control function corresponding to the target function response area is determined, and the virtual object is controlled to simultaneously implement the designated control function and the target control function.

The target function response area is a response area corresponding to a certain target control function in the graphical user interface.

For example, when the control position is applied to the response area B, if it is determined that the control function corresponding to the response area B is the left probe function, the virtual object is controlled to realize the left probe function while aiming.

the step of determining the target control function corresponding to the target function response area in response to the control position acting on the target function response area includes:

when the control position acts on the overlapping area, at least two first target associated control functions corresponding to the overlapping area are determined, and the first target associated control functions are determined to be target control functions.

Fig. 1e is a schematic diagram of a functional control response area in a graphical user interface according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 1 e. Associated functionality controls associated with aiming control 50 are attack control 70, left probe control 80, and right probe control 90, respectively. The response area corresponding to the attack control 70 is a, the response area corresponding to the left probe control 80 is B, and the response area corresponding to the right probe control is C. It can be seen that there is a region of overlap between A and B, and between A and C. Therefore, in order to achieve the effect of the quick control of the user, when the control position is applied to the overlapping area, at least two first target associated control functions corresponding to the overlapping area can be achieved simultaneously, the first target associated control functions are determined to be target control functions, the virtual object is controlled, and the designated control function and the target control function are achieved simultaneously.

For example, when the control position is applied to the superposition area between A and B, three control functions of the left probe and firing can be realized when the virtual object is aimed; when the control position acts on the superposition area between A and C, three control functions of right probe and firing are realized when the virtual object is aimed.

In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

and when the control position acts on the non-overlapping area, determining a second target associated control function corresponding to the non-overlapping area, and determining the second target associated control function as a target control function.

When the control position is applied to the non-overlapping area, the user is stated to realize only a single control function, so that a second target associated control function corresponding to the non-overlapping area is determined, and the second target associated control function is determined as the target control function.

For example, when the user acts on the non-coincident region which is coincident with the A in the response region C corresponding to the right probe control, the second target associated control function is the right probe, and the two control functions of the right probe are realized when the virtual object is aimed.

In some embodiments, after the step of controlling the virtual object to simultaneously implement the specified control function and the target control function, the method further includes:

and when the role control operation is not detected, prohibiting the virtual object from being controlled to realize the designated control function and the target control function, and hiding the associated function control.

When the role control operation is not detected, the user is judged to be not required to realize the control function by the virtual object, the virtual object is forbidden to be controlled to realize the appointed control function and the target control function, and the associated function control is hidden.

and when the control position is acted on the appointed response area again, prohibiting the virtual object from being controlled to realize the target control function, and controlling the virtual character to realize the appointed control function.

When the role control operation starts from the appointed response area, and the corresponding control position returns to the appointed response area, the virtual object is forbidden to be controlled to realize the target control function, and the virtual role is controlled to realize the appointed control function.

For example, the control position corresponding to the character control operation starts from the response area corresponding to the aiming control, then acts on the response area B corresponding to the left probe control 80, and finally acts on the response area corresponding to the aiming control, so that the functions of the virtual object are implemented sequentially as aiming, left probe aiming and aiming.

(1) When the control position acts on a non-target function response area, determining a non-target control function corresponding to the non-target function response area, wherein the non-target function response area is a response area corresponding to a control function except the appointed control function and the associated control function in a control function set realized by controlling the virtual object;

(2) And prohibiting the virtual character from realizing the appointed control function and the target control function, and controlling the virtual character to realize the non-target control function.

And if the control position acts on the non-target function response area, determining a non-target control function corresponding to the non-target function response area. And prohibiting the virtual character from realizing the designated control function and the target control function, and controlling the virtual character to realize the non-target control function.

Specifically, the control function set implemented by the control virtual object includes all control functions for controlling the virtual object, the non-target control function is a control function in the control function set except for a designated control function and an associated control function, and the non-target function response area is a response area corresponding to the non-target control function.

For example, the designated control function is a left probe, the target control function is shooting, the non-target function response area is B, and the corresponding non-target control function is jumping. The virtual role can not be controlled simultaneously with the left probe, so that the virtual role is prohibited from realizing the left probe and shooting functions, and the virtual role is controlled to realize a single jump function.

As can be seen from the foregoing, in the embodiments of the present application, by displaying a graphical user interface, where the graphical user interface includes at least a part of a virtual scene, at least a part of a virtual object located in the virtual scene, and a designated response area, where the designated response area is a response area corresponding to a designated control function, and the designated control function is a control function that controls the virtual character simultaneously with at least one other control function among a plurality of control functions; when a role control operation is detected, a control position of the role control operation acting on the graphical user interface is obtained, and the role control operation is used for controlling the action of the virtual object; responding to the control position starting from the appointed response area, determining an appointed control function corresponding to the appointed response area, and controlling the virtual object to realize the appointed control function; and responding the control position to act on a target function response area, determining a target control function corresponding to the target function response area, and controlling the virtual object to realize the designated control function and the target control function at the same time. Therefore, the virtual object is controlled to realize various control functions by determining the action area of the role control operation, so that the behavior control of the virtual role is simple and continuous, and the control efficiency of controlling the virtual role is improved.

The methods described in connection with the above embodiments are described in further detail below by way of example.

Referring to fig. 2a, fig. 2a is a schematic flow chart of a virtual character control method according to an embodiment of the present application. The flow diagram is to realize the control function of the virtual object by the sliding operation of the user.

The method flow may include:

in step 201, a computer device displays a graphical user interface including at least a portion of a virtual scene, at least a portion of a virtual object located in the virtual scene, and a designated response area.

In step 202, when a character control operation is detected by the computer device, a control position where the character control operation acts on the graphical user interface is acquired.

In step 203, when the control location starts at the specified response area, the computer device determines a specified control function corresponding to the specified response area, and controls the virtual object to implement the specified control function.

In step 204, the computer device obtains a duration of action of the character control operation within the specified response area.

Fig. 2b is a first schematic diagram of a user performing a role control operation in a graphical user interface according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 2 b. Fig. 2b is an example of a character control operation as a user sliding operation within a graphical user interface on which the user can slide by a single finger. When the character control operation of the user starts from the designated response area, the acting duration of the character control operation in the designated response area, such as the pressing duration of the sliding operation in the aiming control, is acquired.

In step 205, when the time period is longer than the preset time period, the computer device displays the associated functionality control around the designated response area.

In order to determine whether the user needs to control the virtual object to realize a plurality of different control functions, a judging mode can be set, wherein the judging mode is to acquire the acting time length of the role control operation in the designated response area, and when the acting time length is longer than the preset time length, the relevant function control is displayed on the periphery of the designated response area, so that the user is prompted to realize the relevant function of the virtual role through the role control operation. When the action duration is smaller than the preset duration, the user is indicated that the virtual character is only required to realize the specified control function corresponding to the specified response area, and the related function control can not be displayed in the graphical user interface.

In step 206, when the control position is applied to the overlapping area, the computer device determines at least two first target-related control functions corresponding to the overlapping area, determines the first target-related control functions as target control functions, and controls the virtual object to simultaneously implement the designated control function and the target control function.

Each associated function control corresponds to an associated function response area, and a superposition area exists between at least part of the associated function response areas.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 2c, fig. 2c is a second schematic diagram of a user performing a role control operation in a graphical user interface according to an embodiment of the present application. Associated functionality controls associated with aiming control 50 are attack control 70, left probe control 80, and right probe control 90, respectively. The response area corresponding to the attack control 70 is a, the response area corresponding to the left probe control 80 is B, and the response area corresponding to the right probe control is C. It can be seen that there is a region of overlap between A and B, and between A and C. Therefore, in order to achieve the effect of the user's quick control, at least two first target-associated control functions corresponding to the overlapping region can be simultaneously achieved when the control position is applied to the overlapping region.

For example, when the user's finger moves from the aim control 50 to the overlap area between a and B, it is determined that the control function corresponding to the overlap area is the left probe and the attack, and therefore, the control function corresponding to the virtual character changes from aim to aim, left probe and attack.

In step 207, when the character control operation is not detected, the computer device prohibits the control virtual object from implementing the specified control function as well as the target control function, and conceals the associated function control.

In step 208, when the control position is applied again to the designated response area, the computer device prohibits the control virtual object from implementing the target control function and controls the virtual character to implement the designated control function.

In step 209, when the control position is applied to the non-target function response area, the computer device determines a non-target control function corresponding to the non-target function response area.

And if the control position acts on the non-target function response area, determining a non-target control function corresponding to the non-target function response area.

In step 210, the computer device prohibits the virtual character from implementing the designated control function as well as the target control function and controls the virtual character to implement the non-target control function.

And prohibiting the virtual character from realizing the designated control function and the target control function, and controlling the virtual character to realize the non-target control function.

In order to facilitate better implementation of the virtual role control method provided by the embodiment of the application, the embodiment of the application also provides a device based on the virtual role control method. The meaning of the nouns is the same as that of the virtual character control method, and specific implementation details can be referred to the description of the method embodiment.
