Detailed Description

Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the exemplary embodiments may be embodied in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art.

Furthermore, the described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to give a thorough understanding of embodiments of the disclosure. One skilled in the relevant art will recognize, however, that the disclosed aspects may be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or with other methods, components, devices, steps, etc. In other instances, well-known methods, devices, implementations, or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring aspects of the disclosure.

The block diagrams depicted in the figures are merely functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically separate entities. That is, the functional entities may be implemented in software, or in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different networks and/or processor devices and/or microcontroller devices.

The flow diagrams depicted in the figures are exemplary only, and do not necessarily include all of the elements and operations/steps, nor must they be performed in the order described. For example, some operations/steps may be decomposed, and some operations/steps may be combined or partially combined, so that the order of actual execution may be changed according to actual situations.

With the development of man-machine interaction technology, games applied to various touch devices are also layered endlessly. For shooting types, actions, or other similar games, it is often desirable to combine different gesture behaviors when controlling the virtual character.

In the prior art, touch control pieces with different actions are located in different touch areas in an interactive interface, and when the action combination control is performed, at least two fingers are matched with the corresponding control pieces in the different touch areas to realize the combination control of the virtual character actions.

Fig. 1 schematically shows a graphical interactive interface of the prior art. Referring to fig. 1, the interface includes a game scene and a virtual object located in the game scene, where the virtual object is in an initial motion. The controls of the left probe and the right probe are positioned on the left side of the interface, the controls of the squat, groveling and jumping are positioned on the right side of the interface, and the controls of shooting, aiming and the like are also provided in the interface. The probe requires at least two fingers to complete while controlling the avatar to squat down, such as a right hand holding "squat" and a left hand holding "left probe".

However, the player with the largest proportion is generally a double-finger operation, that is, to realize the combined control of the two actions, other core actions such as shooting, aiming and the like must be abandoned, and the cost is extremely high, even for the high-end player with smaller proportion, the cost of the two fingers is too high, so that the operation is rarely happened in the game.

Therefore, the present disclosure provides a virtual object control method, which generates a second control in a preset range of a first control, so as to control different action combinations of a virtual character by a single finger.

Implementation details of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure are set forth in detail below.

Fig. 2 schematically illustrates a flowchart of a virtual object control method in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 2, the virtual object control method includes steps S1 to S3:

step S1, displaying a virtual object in initial action on the graphical user interface;

step S2, responding to a first touch operation acting on the first control, and controlling the virtual object to switch from the initial action to the first action;

step S3, receiving a second touch operation acting on the first control, and providing a combined control corresponding to the two-level combined action at a third position when the second touch operation meets a touch threshold; the combined control comprises a first sub control, and the secondary combined action corresponding to the first sub control is a superposition action of the first action executed by the first control and the second action executed by the second control, which are triggered respectively;

And S4, responding to a third touch operation acting on the combination control, and controlling the virtual object to execute the secondary combination action corresponding to the combination control.

Hereinafter, each step of the virtual object control method in the present exemplary embodiment will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

And step S1, displaying the virtual object in the initial action on the graphical user interface.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to FIG. 1, the interface includes a game scene and a virtual object located in the game scene, where a player controls the virtual object to move in the game scene, while the virtual object is in an initial motion.

The virtual scene is a virtual scene displayed when an application program runs on a terminal or a server. Optionally, the virtual scene is a simulation environment for the real world, or a semi-simulation and semi-fiction virtual environment, or a pure fiction virtual environment, and the virtual environment can be sky, land, ocean, etc., wherein the land comprises environmental elements such as deserts, cities, etc.

And the virtual object refers to a dynamic object that can be controlled in the virtual scene. Alternatively, the dynamic object may be a virtual character, a virtual animal, a cartoon character, or the like. The virtual object is a Character that a Player controls through an input device, or is an artificial intelligence (Artificial Intelligence, AI) set in a virtual environment fight by training, or is a Non-Player Character (NPC) set in a virtual environment fight. Optionally, the virtual object is a virtual character playing an athletic in the virtual scene.

In a virtual scenario, the virtual object is now in an initial motion, such as standing a hand-held weapon. The initial actions can be customized according to the requirements.

And step S2, responding to a first touch operation acted on the first control, and controlling the virtual object to switch from the initial action to the first action.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first control is an action control, corresponding to a first action, and when a first touch operation triggering the first control is detected, a gesture adjustment instruction is triggered to control the permission object to switch from an initial action in a current state to a first action corresponding to the first control.

Referring to fig. 1, the first control may be "squat", "groveling" or "jump" on the right side of the interface, and of course, the first control may also be a control such as "left probe", "right probe" on the left side of the interface. The individual triggers of these controls may all perform corresponding actions, and the disclosure is not particularly limited herein.

Step S3, receiving a second touch operation acting on the first control, and providing a combined control corresponding to the two-level combined action at a third position when the second touch operation meets a touch threshold; the combined control comprises a first sub-control, and the secondary combined action corresponding to the first sub-control is a superposition action of the first action executed by the first control and the second action executed by the second control.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, it is desirable to set conditions under which a combination control appears. Whether the combined control can appear or not can be judged according to the duration of control pressing or the pressure value. For example, the first touch operation may be that the user presses the first control, that is, after the user presses "squat", the virtual object performs the action of "squat", if the user does not loose his hand after pressing "squat", the pause time exceeds the preset value, it is determined that the touch threshold is met, and at this time, the combined control corresponding to the second combined action may be provided at the third position.

Of course, other touch thresholds may be set, for example, after the user presses "squat", pressing "squat" with force, or sliding a preset track, etc., which is used to determine whether the condition for providing the combined control is met, so the touch threshold is not specifically limited in this disclosure.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, it is desirable to provide a combination control in a third position. In order to improve the single-hand operation efficiency of the user, the user can control the combined action through one finger, and the third position can be in a preset range of the first control, so that the third position can be determined according to the first position of the first control and the single-finger operation distance.

The first position, that is, the position coordinate of the first control on the graphical user interface, and the single-finger operation distance, that is, the farthest distance of the single-finger operation under the general condition of the user, may be set to a preset value based on historical data, or may be set by user definition. Therefore, a preset range can be defined by taking the first position of the first control as the center and taking the single-finger operation distance as the radius, and the third position of the combined control is required to fall within the preset range.

It should be noted that, the secondary combined action is determined based on the primary action, and the primary action is the action content existing in the current game scene, that is, the action that can be executed by the action control by being triggered alone, for example, a "left probe", "jump", etc., and also the initial action that does not need to be triggered by the control.

The generated combination control can be one or a plurality, which is related to the determined number of the secondary combination actions, and one secondary combination action corresponds to one combination control.

For example, the combined control includes a first sub-control, and the second-level combined action corresponding to the first sub-control is a superposition action of the first action executed by the first control and the second action executed by the second control. The first action corresponding to the first control and the second action corresponding to the second control belong to one-level actions, namely actions which can be obtained by independently triggering the action control.

The combined control further comprises a second sub-control, and the secondary combined action corresponding to the second sub-control is used as an initial action. The initial action is a first-level action, and is an existing action. And setting a combination control corresponding to the initial action, and combining the initial action with other actions to obtain other secondary combination actions.

The combined control further comprises a third sub-control, and the second-level combined action corresponding to the third sub-control is an overlapped action after the initial action and the second action which is independently triggered to be executed by the second control. Wherein the initial action and the second action both belong to a primary action.

Fig. 3 schematically illustrates a graphical user interface diagram in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to fig. 3, after the user generates the combined control based on the "squat" trigger of the first control, a hot zone is formed with the "squat" button as the center, and the combined control of "squat and left probe" and "squat and right probe" appears on the left and right sides. At the same time, a combined control of "standing", "standing and left probe" and "standing and right probe" is also generated.

The squatting and left probe and the squatting and right probe correspond to two-level combined actions corresponding to the first sub-control, namely action controls obtained by respectively triggering the squatting control and the left probe and the right probe. The two actions are the primary actions corresponding to the existing action control, and the generated combined control can control the virtual object to execute the secondary combined action after the two actions are combined and overlapped.

"standing" corresponds to the secondary combined action corresponding to the second child control. The standing left probe and the standing right probe correspond to the two-level combined actions corresponding to the third sub-control, and are action controls obtained by respectively superposing the initial actions and the left probe and the right probe controls.

Fig. 4 schematically illustrates another graphical user interface diagram in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to fig. 4, the upper side is provided with a "groveling and tilting head", the left side is provided with a "groveling and left probe", and the right side is provided with a combination control of "groveling and right probe".

The generated three combined controls belong to the first sub-control, and the action data corresponding to the controls are combined controls formed by overlapping the first control 'groveling' with the second control 'left probe', 'upward head', 'right probe'.

Of course, in other embodiments of the disclosure, the combined control may further include a fourth sub-control and a fifth sub-control, where the second-level combined action corresponding to the fourth sub-control is a mutually exclusive action mutually exclusive with the first action, and the second-level combined action corresponding to the fifth sub-control is a combined action in which the mutually exclusive action is overlapped with the first action. For example, referring to fig. 3, controls such as "groveling", "jumping" and the like may be placed in the hot zone according to the requirements, and other combined controls such as "groveling left probe" and "groveling right probe" may be generated at the same time.

It should be noted that, the combination control provided in fig. 3 and fig. 4 is only an exemplary illustration, and may be a two-level combination action obtained by performing different combinations with other existing one-level actions, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to the present disclosure.

Based on the method, the combination control corresponding to the secondary combination action is provided on the basis of the existing action control, on one hand, the secondary combination action is obtained by combining on the basis of the existing action, the richness of the action is improved, and the development amount of the action is reduced; on the other hand, the combined control is provided at the third position, so that a user can obtain the combined control only by aiming at the first control operation, and different combined actions are executed through the combined control, and the control corresponding to two or even more primary actions is not required to be controlled independently, so that the operation efficiency of the user can be further improved, and the user experience is improved.

Meanwhile, based on the method thought provided by the disclosure, when more than two actions can be combined, for example, in a graphical user interface, not only a first control corresponding to a first action, a second control corresponding to a second action, but also a third control corresponding to a third action are provided, and the method further includes: when the third touch operation is detected to meet the touch threshold, providing a combination control corresponding to the three-level combination action at a fifth position; the third-level combined action comprises a superposition action of the first action executed by the first control, the second action executed by the second control and the third action executed by the third control, which are triggered respectively; and responding to a fourth touch operation of the combination control corresponding to the three-level combination action, and controlling the virtual object to execute the three-level combination action.

That is, the method is to overlap with the primary action on the basis of the secondary combined action in advance, or to combine and overlap three primary actions. For example, the first action, the second action and the third action are all overlapped to obtain three-level combined actions, so that the combined actions controlled by one hand of a user are richer, and the single-hand operation efficiency is higher.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, after providing the combination control corresponding to the two-level combination action at the third location, the method further includes: determining a mutual exclusion control corresponding to the combined control; the mutex control is masked in the graphical user interface.

Specifically, because the created combined control is used for controlling the action of the virtual object, in order to ensure the logic accuracy of the combined control on the action control of the virtual object, the mutual exclusion control related to the combined control needs to be shielded, so that the mutual exclusion of the touch operation of the mutual exclusion control and the touch operation of the combined control by a user is prevented.

Referring to fig. 1 and 3, the controls of the "left probe" and the "right probe" are included in fig. 1, and after the combined control is provided in fig. 3, the actions of the probes have been combined to obtain the combined control, so that the controls of the "left probe" and the "right probe" need to be shielded, and the corresponding functions fail. For example, when the user selects "squat and left probe" in the second control, the user again clicks "right probe" will fail, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the control logic.

Referring to fig. 4, after the combined control is provided, the elevation head and the probe are controlled by the combined control, so the action controls of the elevation head, the left probe and the right probe need to be shielded.

In one embodiment of the disclosure, the determining the mutual exclusion control corresponding to the combination control includes: determining an associated action corresponding to the secondary combined action based on the secondary combined action corresponding to the combined control; and configuring the control corresponding to the association action as the mutual exclusion control.

Specifically, each of the combination controls corresponds to a secondary combination action, and different contents of the secondary combination actions, such as a combination of the first action and the second action, or an initial action, or a combination of the initial action and other actions, have been mentioned above.

Thus, the action data based on the two-level combined action can determine the associated action related to the action, that is, the one-level action constituting the action. Such as the first and second actions mentioned above, which are actions that the individual trigger action controls may perform, such as "squat", "left probe", etc., although the initial actions triggered by the action controls, such as "stand", may not be required.

The specific associated action determination needs to be determined according to action data involved in the combination control, which is not specifically limited by the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 3, in the combined control of FIG. 3, the associated actions involved include "squat", "stand", "left probe" and "left probe", and the controls corresponding to these actions are configured as exclusive controls. And reference is made to fig. 4 for an example in which the associated actions involved in combining the controls include "left probe", "right probe" and "head up".

In addition, determining the mutex control based on the generated second control further comprises determining the mutex control according to the control area of the second control and shielding the mutex control. The second control must occupy an area of the graphical interactive interface when it is generated, and the control that is completely covered by the area also needs to be masked.

It should be noted that, the mutex control may be added with a user confirmation mechanism without performing a masking process. For example, when the user has touch operations on the combination control and the mutex control at the same time, a message is popped up for the user to confirm.

Specifically, each combination control corresponds to a corresponding secondary combination action, after the combination control is provided, third touch operation of a user is received, the combination control selected by the third touch operation is determined, and then the combination control is executed to control the virtual object to execute the secondary combination action.

The third touch operation may be a sliding operation or a clicking operation.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the third touch operation is a sliding operation, the user may select the combination control through sliding. Specifically, the method comprises: acquiring a sliding touch point of the sliding operation; and when the sliding touch point falls on the combination control and meets the selected condition, controlling the virtual object to execute the secondary combination action corresponding to the combination control.

Taking the situation shown in fig. 3 as an example, when the user's finger slides leftwards from "squat" to "squat and left probe" and the sliding touch point exceeds the preset time, the user's finger is considered and meets the selected condition, and then "squat and left probe" is executed. A similar user finger pulls the "squat" from the "squat and left probe" and the virtual object then performs the "squat" action, sliding right to the hot zone as the "squat and right probe" and pulling back resumes the "squat". The control hot zone is in a standing state, the hot zone is in a left-right upper state, the probe is in a left-right upper state, and the corresponding control is executed when the fingers of the user slide to the corresponding hot zone.

It should be noted that, when selecting the combination control, only according to satisfying the selection condition, there is no requirement on the sliding track, that is, the user can directly slide from "squat" to "stand and left probe".

In addition, multiple selections of the combination control can be realized, so that the virtual roles can complete switching of different secondary combination actions. For example, the user performs the action by sliding from "squat" to "squat and left probe" first, then sliding up to "stand and left probe" to perform the action, and then sliding to "squat and right probe" to perform the action.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the third touch operation is a sliding operation, the method further includes: and when the third touch operation is detected to be finished, controlling the virtual object to execute the initial action.

Specifically, since the third touch operation is a sliding operation, the user controls the virtual character to perform the secondary combination action through the continuous operation, and when the user releases the finger, that is, the third touch operation is finished, the virtual object resumes the initial action.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the third touch operation is a click operation, the method further includes: and when the third touch operation is detected to be ended, receiving the third touch operation aiming at other combined controls.

Specifically, since the third touch operation is a click operation, the operation is not continuous when the combination control is selected, so when the click operation ends, other combination controls can still be selected.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a lightweight virtual object control method may also be provided. Specifically, receiving a second touch operation acting on the first control, and providing the second control at a third position when the second touch operation meets a touch threshold; and responding to a second control acting on the third position to execute the action corresponding to the second control.

Specifically, the first action is taken as "squat", and the second action is taken as "left probe" and "right probe" which can be combined with the first action, for example, and the detailed description will be made. In response to a first touch operation acting on "squat", the virtual object is controlled to perform a "squat" action. When the second touch operation meets the touch threshold, a second control is provided at a third position, namely a left probe is provided at the left side of the squat, a right probe is provided at the right side of the squat, the finger of the user slides leftwards to the left probe, the virtual character finishes the left probe in the squat gesture, the function is completely consistent with that of the action control of the left probe, when the finger of the user is pulled back to the squat from the left probe, the virtual character cancels the left probe, and similarly, the right probe is executed when the finger of the user slides rightwards to the right probe, and the pull back is cancelled.

According to the method, a new second action is not required to be generated, but the second control which is far away from the first control is moved to the preset range of the first control, so that the user can realize single-hand control, and the operation is more convenient.

In the virtual object control method in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the virtual object control method may be executed on a terminal device or a server. The terminal device may be a local terminal device. When the virtual object control method runs on the server, the virtual object control method can be realized and executed based on a cloud interaction system, wherein the cloud interaction system comprises the server and the client device.

In an alternative embodiment, various cloud applications may be run under the cloud interaction system, for example: and (5) cloud game. Taking cloud game as an example, cloud game refers to a game mode based on cloud computing. In the cloud game operation mode, the game program operation main body and the game picture presentation main body are separated, the storage and operation of the virtual object control method are completed on the cloud game server, and the client device is used for receiving and sending data and presenting the game picture, for example, the client device can be a display device with a data transmission function close to a user side, such as a mobile terminal, a television, a computer, a palm computer and the like; but the terminal device for information processing is cloud game server of cloud.
