Technical Field

Background

In the battle interaction scene provided by the shooting game application, a player is often required to hit and kill a target object in the game scene by controlling a virtual object to use a virtual shooting item to obtain the victory of the current shooting game task. In the above shooting game mission, the player often needs to control the virtual object to move in real time in the game scene to hit and kill the target object appearing at different positions. However, the moving virtual object often encounters an obstacle set in the game scene.

In the existing scheme, the moving virtual object decelerates until stopping moving after hitting an obstacle, and can not bypass the current obstacle and continue moving until a player performs direction adjustment operation on a direction key to control the virtual object to move in a direction without the obstacle.

However, the requirement on real-time performance in the interactive process of fight is very high, and if an obstacle set in a virtual scene is encountered, the moving direction of a virtual object needs to be adjusted first, so that the virtual object can move continuously. If the operation level of the player is not high, the virtual object is easy to be stuck at the position of the current obstacle and is finally killed by the enemy. That is, the related art provides a problem that the control operation when the virtual object encounters an obstacle has a high operation complexity.

In view of the above problems, no effective solution has been proposed.

Detailed Description

In order to make the technical solutions of the present invention better understood, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and claims of the present invention and in the drawings described above are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used is interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the invention described herein are capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed, but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

According to an aspect of the embodiments of the present invention, an object control method is provided, and optionally, as an optional implementation manner, the object control method may be applied to, but is not limited to, an environment as shown in fig. 1. The object control method can be applied, but not limited to, in an object control system in a hardware environment as shown in fig. 1, wherein the object control system can include, but is not limited to, a terminal device 102, a network 104, a server 106, and a database 108. A target client (as shown in fig. 1, the target client takes a game client as an example, and a virtual scene will be presented in a display interface of the target client) that logs in by using a target user account runs in the terminal device 102. The terminal device 102 includes a human-computer interaction screen, a processor and a memory. The human-computer interaction screen is used for displaying a virtual scene (such as a virtual game scene) in the display interface, and a target virtual object 100-1 in a moving state and a pre-configured barrier 100-2 are displayed in the virtual game scene; and is further configured to provide a human-machine interaction interface for receiving a human-machine interaction operation for controlling the target virtual object to perform a predetermined action, such as a shooting action, a moving action, and the like performed in the virtual scene. The processor is used for responding the human-computer interaction operation to generate an interaction instruction and sending the interaction instruction to the server. The memory is used for storing object attribute information (such as state information of the target virtual object) of the target virtual object displayed in the virtual scene and attribute information (such as position information and material information of the obstacle) of the obstacle in the virtual scene.

In addition, the server 106 includes a processing engine therein, and the processing engine is configured to perform a storing or reading operation on the database 108, such as storing the collision angle received from the terminal device 102 in the database, or storing object attribute information of virtual objects respectively controlled by the respective clients in the database. Such as reading the above-mentioned coasting condition for comparison determination from the database. That is, the server 106 may determine whether the collision angle reaches the coasting condition after receiving the collision angle from the terminal device 102 and reading the coasting condition from the database, and in a case where it is determined that the coasting condition is reached, determine that the target virtual object is moved in the terminal device in a manner of following the obstacle and coasting in the offset direction.

The specific process comprises the following steps: in step S102, the target virtual object 100-1 in the moving state is displayed in the virtual scene displayed on the display interface of the target client operated by the terminal device 102. Then, as shown in steps S104-S106, when the terminal device 102 determines that the moving target virtual object 100-1 collides with the obstacle 100-2 in the virtual scene, the collision angle between the target virtual object and the obstacle is determined, and the collision angle is transmitted to the server 106 through the network 104. It should be noted here that, calculating the collision angle between the target virtual object and the obstacle may also be performed by the server 106, for example, the position information of the target virtual object and the position information of the obstacle are synchronously sent to the server 106 in real time, the server determines whether the two collide, and in case of determining that the collision occurs, the collision angle between the two is calculated.

The processing engine of the server 106 will perform steps S108-S112: after reading the coasting condition from the database, it is determined whether the collision angle reaches the coasting condition. And under the condition that the collision angle is determined to reach the sliding condition, determining that the moving mode of the target virtual object is to automatically attach to the barrier and slide and move along the offset direction. The movement pattern is then notified to the terminal device 102 via the network 104.

In step S114, the terminal device 102 displays a process that the control target virtual object automatically fits the obstacle and slides in the offset direction in the display interface according to the received movement manner.

The interface and the flow steps shown in fig. 1 are examples, and steps S108 to S110 may be executed in a terminal device with high processing capability. That is, each step shown in fig. 1 can be independently completed by the terminal device without participation of the server, so as to save the communication cost and shorten the processing waiting time, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, when a target virtual object moving in a virtual scene collides with an obstacle in the virtual scene, a collision angle between the target virtual object and the obstacle is determined, and when the collision angle reaches a sliding condition, the target virtual object is controlled to automatically adhere to the obstacle and to slide and move along an offset direction, and a user does not need to manually adjust a moving direction of the target virtual object, so that the target virtual object is prevented from being stuck at the obstacle and cannot move, an effect of simplifying a control operation when the target virtual object collides with the obstacle is achieved, and a problem of high complexity of an object control operation in related technologies is solved.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the terminal device may be a terminal device configured with a target client, and may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: mobile phones (such as Android phones, iOS phones, etc.), notebook computers, tablet computers, palm computers, MID (Mobile Internet Devices), PAD, desktop computers, smart televisions, etc. The target client may be an application client for performing a confrontational game-like task. Such networks may include, but are not limited to: a wired network, a wireless network, wherein the wired network comprises: a local area network, a metropolitan area network, and a wide area network, the wireless network comprising: bluetooth, WIFI, and other networks that enable wireless communication. The server may be a single server, a server cluster composed of a plurality of servers, or a cloud server. The above is merely an example, and this is not limited in this embodiment.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the object control method may be, but not limited to, applied to a game terminal Application (APP) that completes a predetermined confrontational game task in a virtual scene, such as a shooting game Application in a Multiplayer Online Battle game (MOBA) Application, where the confrontational game task may be, but not limited to, a game task in which a current player controls a virtual character in the virtual scene through man-machine interaction operation and a virtual character controlled by another player through confrontational interaction, and the confrontational game task may be, but not limited to, running in an Application (e.g., a game APP running non-independently) in the form of a plug-in or a applet, or running in an Application (e.g., a game APP running independently) in a game engine. The types of gaming applications described above may include, but are not limited to, at least one of: two-dimensional (2D) game applications, Three-dimensional (3D) game applications, Virtual Reality (VR) game applications, Augmented Reality (AR) game applications, Mixed Reality (MR) game applications. The above is merely an example, and the present embodiment is not limited to this.

Optionally, as an optional implementation manner, as shown in fig. 2, the object control method includes:

s202, displaying a target virtual object in a moving state in a virtual scene;

optionally, in this embodiment, the target virtual object may be, but is not limited to, a virtual character controlled by a client in a virtual scene. For example, taking a Shooting-confrontation Game as an example, a picture of a virtual scene presented in a First Person Shooting Game (FPS) may be, but is not limited to, a picture observed from the viewpoint of the above-described currently controlled virtual character. Here, in the event that the virtual character collides with an obstacle, the view of the virtual character is blocked by the obstacle, and the moving process of the virtual character is also hindered.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the target virtual object needs to continuously move in the virtual scene to perform an interactive operation with an enemy object of different battles (for example, mutually shooting a prop to kill an opponent to obtain a victory of a game task, or obtaining a victory of a game task through a battle action, etc.).

S204, determining a collision angle between the target virtual object and an obstacle under the condition that the moving target virtual object collides with the obstacle in the virtual scene;

optionally, in this embodiment, the obstacle may be, but is not limited to, a dynamic virtual object or a static virtual object set in a virtual scene, where the dynamic virtual object may include, but is not limited to: a virtual carrier object, a Non-player Character object (NPC for short), and the like. The static virtual objects may include, but are not limited to: building objects (such as house walls, bridge guardrails and the like) configured in the virtual scene, prop objects (such as prop boxes and the like) randomly appearing in the virtual scene, and landscape objects (such as stones and the like) in the virtual scene. That is, when the moving target virtual object collides with the obstacle, a collision angle generated when the moving target virtual object collides with the obstacle is acquired.

It should be noted that, since the target virtual object is mounted with a physical collision box (i.e., collision body) provided by a game engine (e.g., Unity engine), a rectangular collision body is also mounted on the obstacle in order to detect a collision event. When two colliders come into contact in the related art, the collider of the moving target virtual object is decelerated or immediately stopped. In practice, in the battle game task, if the target virtual object is decelerated after colliding with the obstacle and stops at the position of the obstacle, the probability of being killed by the enemy object is likely to be increased. Therefore, in order to avoid the above situation, the player needs to manually adjust the moving direction of the target virtual object so as to leave the obstacle having collided as soon as possible in the related art.

In this embodiment, the adjustment operation by the player is omitted, and the player automatically slides in the direction of the deviation along the obstacle. The above-described movement control manner, which eliminates the adjustment operation, will also help to avoid task failures caused by inexperienced operations of novice players. Therefore, the aim of simplifying the control operation when the target virtual object collides with the obstacle is fulfilled. The control method here is a scene in which a collision body of the target virtual object and an obstacle have a collision body.

And S206, controlling the target virtual object to automatically attach to the barrier and to slide and move along the offset direction under the condition that the collision angle reaches the sliding condition, wherein the offset direction is determined according to the current moving direction of the target virtual object.

It should be noted that, after collision, two colliders in the virtual scene decelerate or stop moving, which are self-attributes configured in the game engine (e.g. unity). Thus, in the present embodiment, whether or not the control target virtual object is slidingly moved in conformity with the obstacle is determined using the preset slide condition and the determination result of the collision angle. That is, in the case where the coasting condition is not reached, the above-described target virtual object will continue to decelerate or stop moving in the manner provided in the related art, thereby retaining the attribute function previously configured in the game engine.

In this embodiment, if it is detected that the target virtual object is still in a moving state (i.e. the player still operates the moving key) after the target virtual object collides with the obstacle, the offset direction of the target virtual object sliding along the obstacle is calculated according to the current moving direction, and the target virtual object is controlled to rapidly slide over the current obstacle along the offset direction.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the materials of the different types of obstacles in the virtual scene are different, and the target virtual object may, but is not limited to, perform sliding movement at different sliding speeds after colliding with the different obstacles. For example, when the target virtual object collides with some smooth obstacles such as stones, tiles and the like, the sliding speed of the target virtual object is relatively fast; when the target virtual object collides with some rough obstacles such as wood, the sliding speed of the target virtual object is relatively slow. Therefore, different sliding movement effects are simulated in a virtual scene aiming at different obstacles, and the simulation degree of the sliding movement process is improved.

The description is made with reference to the example shown in fig. 3: assume that the target virtual object is a client-controlled virtual character (virtual character as shown in the figure) and the obstacle is a wall.

As shown in fig. 3 (a), the virtual character is in a moving state (e.g., running forward) in the virtual scene. When the virtual character is detected to collide with the wall at the position P1, the collision angle α between the target virtual object and the obstacle is determined. Further, whether the collision angle alpha reaches a sliding condition preset by the game task is judged. In a case where it is determined that the collision angle α has reached the slide condition, the virtual character is controlled to slide along the wall in the offset direction corresponding to the moving direction, as shown in fig. 3 (b), in the direction of the position P2 (the direction indicated by the broken-line arrow).

According to the embodiment provided by the application, under the condition that a target virtual object moving in a virtual scene collides with an obstacle in the virtual scene, the collision angle between the target virtual object and the obstacle is determined, and under the condition that the collision angle reaches a sliding condition, the target virtual object is controlled to automatically attach to the obstacle and slide and move along the offset direction, and a user does not need to manually adjust the moving direction of the target virtual object, so that the situation that the target virtual object is clamped at the position of the obstacle and cannot move can be avoided, the effect of simplifying the control operation when the target virtual object collides with the obstacle is achieved, and the problem that the complexity of object control operation is high in the related technology is solved.

As an alternative, determining the collision angle between the target virtual object and the obstacle includes:

s1, determining the collision position when the target virtual object collides with the obstacle;

s2, determining the collision surface of the obstacle based on the collision position;

and S3, determining an included angle between the current moving direction of the target virtual object and the vertical direction of the collision surface of the obstacle as a collision angle.

It should be noted that, since the surface of each obstacle in the virtual scene is not necessarily a plane, it is likely to be an uneven surface. Thus, in the present embodiment, it is possible, but not limited to, determining the collision surface based on the collision position and then determining the collision angle based on the normal vector of the collision surface. Thereby achieving the purpose of improving the accuracy of the determined collision angle.

For example, as shown in fig. 4, the above-mentioned assumed scenario is still used as an example for explanation: such as a virtual character moving in a virtual scene (e.g., running forward). When the virtual character is detected to collide with the wall at the position P1, the collision surface of the barrier wall (as the collision surface with the thick line in FIG. 4) is determined to be the surface where the position P1 is located.

Then, the moving direction of the virtual character at the time of the collision and the vertical direction of the collision surface where the above-mentioned P1 position is located are obtained as two straight lines constituted by dotted lines shown in fig. 4. According to the relation of the trigonometric function, the included angle alpha between the straight line of the moving direction and the straight line of the vertical direction can be calculated, and the included angle alpha is determined as the collision angle alpha.

Through the embodiment provided by the application, after the collision surface of the obstacle corresponding to the collision position is determined, the included angle between the moving direction of the target virtual object when the target virtual object collides and the vertical direction of the collision surface is obtained, so that the accuracy of the collision angle for judging whether the sliding condition is met in the determined current collision event is ensured, and the accuracy of the sliding movement control is improved.

As an optional scheme, after determining the collision angle between the target virtual object and the obstacle, the method further includes:

1) under the condition that the collision angle is smaller than the target angle threshold value, determining the collision angle and not reaching the sliding condition, and controlling the target virtual object to reduce the moving speed or stop moving;

it should be noted that, since two colliders in the virtual scene decelerate or stop moving after collision, these are self-attributes configured in the game engine (e.g. unity). In the present embodiment, whether the control target virtual object automatically follows the obstacle to slide and move or whether the control target virtual object is controlled to decelerate or stop moving in accordance with the attribute of the game engine itself is determined using the determination results of the slide condition and the collision angle set in advance.

Optionally, in this embodiment, when the collision angle is smaller than the target angle threshold, it is determined that the coasting condition is not reached, that is, the currently occurring collision cannot trigger the coasting movement. The control target virtual object decelerates or stops moving according to its own attribute.

For example, as shown in fig. 5, assume that OA is the collision surface of the obstacle and OB is the vertical direction perpendicular to OA. Assuming that the moving direction of the target virtual object during the currently occurring collision can be represented by OC, the included angle α between OC and OB is determined as the collision angle. And further controlling the target virtual object to decelerate or stop moving when the collision angle alpha is determined to be smaller than the target angle threshold value.

2) In the event that the collision angle is greater than or equal to the target angle threshold, it is determined that the collision angle has reached a coasting condition.

Alternatively, in this embodiment, when the collision angle is greater than or equal to the target angle threshold, it is determined that the coasting condition has been reached, that is, the currently occurring collision may trigger the coasting movement. The control target virtual object automatically fits the obstacle and glides in the offset direction.

For example, as shown in fig. 5, assume that OA is the collision surface of the obstacle and OB is the vertical direction perpendicular to OA. Assuming that the moving direction of the target virtual object during the current collision can be represented by OD, the included angle β between OD and OB is determined as the collision angle. And further controlling the target virtual object to automatically attach to the barrier and to slide and move along the offset direction when the collision angle beta is determined to be larger than the target angle threshold value.

The gliding movement effect can be explained in connection with fig. 3. Assuming that the moving direction indicates that the target virtual object is colliding with the obstacle obliquely from the left, the offset direction is determined to be a direction to the left of the wall-facing surface (a direction indicated by a dotted arrow shown in fig. 3 (b)). Then, the control target virtual object slides and moves along the offset direction against the obstacle, and the stop position after the sliding movement is the corner formed by the two obstacle walls, as shown in fig. 3 (b).

Alternatively, in the present embodiment, the sliding speed of the target virtual object sliding and moving along the offset direction while fitting the obstacle may be determined according to, but not limited to, the collision angle. As shown in fig. 5, when the collision angle is greater than β, the target virtual object will slide quickly, and when the collision angle is greater than α and less than β, the target virtual object will slide slowly. That is, in an angle section larger than the target angle threshold value, the larger the collision angle is, the faster the coasting speed thereof is, and the smaller the collision angle is, the slower the coasting speed thereof is.

Through the embodiment provided by the application, different moving modes are distinguished by using the comparison result between the collision angle and the sliding condition, the purpose of keeping the original function of the game engine is achieved, the collision angle can be adjusted by a player through control operation, and the effect of flexibly realizing sliding movement is achieved. That is, the effect of achieving multi-mode compatibility that the control target virtual object moves according to different moving modes is achieved.

As an alternative, controlling the target virtual object to slidingly move in the offset direction at the target sliding speed includes:

s1, determining a target sliding speed matched with the material of the obstacle;

and S2, controlling the target virtual object to slide and move along the offset direction according to the target sliding speed.

Alternatively, in the present embodiment, it may be, but is not limited to, determining whether the target virtual object collides with the obstacle through ray detection. Assuming that the detection result of the ray detection indicates that an obstacle is detected, all attribute information on the obstacle is acquired. The attribute information may include, but is not limited to, information such as a collision position and a material of an obstacle. The material may indicate the type of composition of the obstacle, such as stone, wood, glass, etc. In the present embodiment, obstacles made of different materials may be matched with different sliding speeds, but not limited to.

For example, as described with reference to fig. 6, it is assumed that the target virtual object is determined to slidingly move in the offset direction (the direction in which the position P3 is located). If the obstacle indicates a tile wall, as shown in fig. 6 (a), the sliding speed of the sliding movement from the collision position P1 to P3 is v 1; if the obstacle indicates a wood wall, as shown in fig. 6 (b), the sliding speed of the sliding movement starting from the collision position P1 toward P3 is v 2. Since the friction of wood is greater than that of tiles, the above-mentioned sliding speed v2 will also be less than the sliding speed v 1.

Through the embodiment provided by the application, the target virtual object is controlled to slide and move according to the target sliding speed matched with the material of the barrier, the simulation degree of the target virtual object which is attached to the barrier and slides and moves after collision in the virtual scene is improved, and the user experience is improved.

As an alternative, controlling the target virtual object to slidingly move in the offset direction at the target sliding speed includes: when the target virtual object leaves the obstacle, the control target virtual object is returned to the moving speed before the collision occurs.

It should be noted that, during the sliding movement of the target virtual object against the obstacle, the sliding speed may be, but is not limited to, a speed component of the moving speed in the offset direction before the collision. And under the condition that the target virtual object leaves the obstacle after sliding for a certain distance, the control target virtual object is restored to the moving speed before the collision occurs.

For example, assume that the above-described assumed scenario is still exemplified as follows: if the virtual character is in a moving state (e.g., running forward) in the virtual scene, the moving speed is v 0. As shown in fig. 7 (a), the target virtual object collides with the obstacle at a collision position P1.

Then, in a case where the collision angle determined based on the collision position P1 reaches the coasting condition, it is determined that the control target virtual object is coasting-moved in the offset direction determined based on the moving direction against the obstacle. After determining the velocity component in the offset direction (i.e., the sliding velocity v1) based on the above-described moving velocity v0, the target virtual object is controlled to slide and move at the sliding velocity v1 from the P1 position, as shown in fig. 7 (b). After moving to the obstacle boundary position P4, if it is determined that the target virtual object leaves the obstacle, the target virtual object is restored to the moving speed v0 and continues to move to the position P5.

Through the embodiment provided by the application, under the condition that the target virtual object after the sliding movement is detected to leave the obstacle, the target virtual object is controlled to return to the moving speed before collision, so that the target virtual object is returned to the moving state before collision, and the motion information of the target virtual object in the virtual scene is maintained.

As an alternative, the controlling the target virtual object to automatically fit the obstacle and to slidingly move in the offset direction includes:

s1, determining the initial sliding movement speed matched with the collision angle;

s2, the control target virtual object starts the sliding movement in the offset direction at the initial sliding movement speed.

It should be noted that when the target virtual object collides with the obstacle, different collision angles will have different effects on the sliding speed.

Optionally, in this embodiment, determining the initial speed of the sliding movement matched with the collision angle includes:

s11, determining the moving speed of the target virtual object when colliding with the obstacle;

s12, calculating the velocity component of the moving velocity in the offset direction according to the collision angle;

and S13, determining the speed component as the initial speed of the sliding movement.

In this embodiment, after the target virtual object collides with the obstacle, the direction vector of the offset direction may be determined based on, but not limited to, the component of the movement direction vector of the target virtual object before the collision on the collision surface of the obstacle based on the trigonometric function relationship. That is, it is determined in which direction of the collision surface the offset direction of the target virtual object is along, according to the moving direction of the target virtual object within the virtual space.

Further, based on the trigonometric function relationship, the velocity vector of the moving velocity of the target virtual object before the collision may be decomposed to obtain the sliding velocity at which the target virtual object slides in the offset direction in accordance with the obstacle.

For example, when the target virtual object collides with the obstacle, a collision surface determined based on the collision position and a vertical direction of the collision surface are as shown in fig. 8. Further, assuming that the OA vector is used to indicate the moving direction of the target virtual object, it is determined according to the trigonometric function that the OB vector indicates the offset direction in which the target virtual object slides against the obstacle.

The moving speed when the target virtual object collides with the obstacle is v_{Moving device}In the case of (2), the velocity vector of the moving velocity is decomposed to obtain a velocity component v in the offset direction_{Sliding device}The velocity component v can then be divided into_{Sliding device}And determining the initial speed of the target virtual object sliding and moving along the offset direction by attaching to the obstacle.

According to the embodiment provided by the application, the initial sliding movement speed of the target virtual object during sliding movement is determined according to the collision speed of the target virtual object when colliding with the obstacle. Therefore, the player can obtain different collision angles through different control operations, and the effect of flexibly adjusting the initial speed of sliding movement of the attached barrier is achieved.

As an optional scheme, after the control target virtual object starts the sliding movement in the offset direction according to the initial sliding movement speed, the method further includes:

s1, determining the friction force matched with the material of the barrier;

s2, determining the resistance acceleration of the target virtual object when sliding along the offset direction according to the friction force;

s3, determining the current sliding speed according to the initial sliding movement speed and the resistance acceleration;

and S4, controlling the target virtual object to slide and move according to the current sliding speed.

Due to the fact that friction coefficients of obstacles made of different materials are different, friction force born by the target virtual object in the sliding movement process is correspondingly different. That is, in the process of the sliding movement at the initial sliding movement speed, the resistance acceleration received by the target virtual object is different for different material obstacles.

It should be noted that, the target virtual object is influenced by friction during the sliding movement, and the sliding speed of the target virtual object gradually decreases. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible, but not limited to, to calculate a sliding speed of the target virtual object in real time during the sliding movement in combination with the resistance acceleration on the basis of the initial speed of the sliding movement, and control the target virtual object to slide and move according to the sliding speed.

Optionally, in this embodiment, if the target virtual object leaves the obstacle after sliding for a certain distance, and does not continue to slide and move, and is affected by the friction force, the moving speed of the target virtual object will be reduced to some extent, and then the target virtual object may continue to move at the speed when the target virtual object leaves the obstacle.

For example, assume that the above-described assumed scenario is still exemplified as follows: if the virtual character is in a moving state (e.g., running forward) in the virtual scene, the moving speed is v 0. As shown in fig. 9 (a), the target virtual object collides with the obstacle at a collision position P1.

Then, in a case where the collision angle determined based on the collision position P1 reaches the coasting condition, it is determined that the control target virtual object is coasting-moved in the offset direction determined based on the moving direction against the obstacle. After determining the velocity component in the offset direction (i.e., the initial sliding movement velocity v1) based on the movement velocity v0, the target virtual object is controlled to start the sliding movement from the P1 position at the initial sliding movement velocity v1, as shown in fig. 9 (b). During the sliding movement, the sliding speed of the target virtual object is continuously reduced under the influence of friction. Assuming that the target virtual object is determined to leave the obstacle after moving to the obstacle boundary position P4, and it is determined that the current sliding speed has decreased to v1 ', the target virtual object is controlled to resume moving to the position P5 according to the moving speed v 1'.

According to the embodiment provided by the application, the current sliding speed of the target virtual object in the sliding movement process is calculated in real time by combining the friction force matched with the material of the barrier, and the target virtual object is controlled to slide and move according to the current sliding speed, so that the sliding movement process of the target virtual object attached to the barrier in the virtual scene is closer to the real scene, and the simulation degree of the sliding movement is improved.

As an alternative, controlling the target virtual object to slidingly move at the current sliding speed includes: and controlling the target virtual object to stop moving under the condition that the target virtual object still fits the obstacle but the current sliding speed reaches the target threshold value.

Specifically, the description is made with reference to fig. 10, assuming that the above-mentioned assumed scenario is still used as an example: if the virtual character is in a moving state (e.g., running forward) in the virtual scene, the moving speed is v 0. As shown in fig. 10 (a), the target virtual object collides with the obstacle at a collision position P1.

Then, in a case where it is determined that the collision angle at the time of its collision reaches the slide condition, the control target virtual object is slidingly moved in the offset direction (the direction indicated by the broken-line arrow shown in the figure) in conformity with the obstacle as shown in fig. 10 (b). If the target virtual object continues to be reduced in sliding speed due to the influence of friction during the sliding movement, the target virtual object is controlled to stop moving and stay at the current position when the sliding speed of the target virtual object reaches 0 when the target virtual object slides to the position P6 where the target virtual object has not left the obstacle.

Through the embodiment provided by the application, the target virtual object is controlled to stop moving under the condition that the target virtual object still fits the obstacle but the current sliding speed reaches the target threshold value. Therefore, high-simulation sliding control is realized on the target virtual object.

The embodiment provided by the present application is fully described by the process shown in fig. 11 in particular: assume for example a shooting confrontation game mission in which a player will use a shooting prop to kill an enemy character belonging to a different battle through a client-controlled virtual character. The virtual role controlled by the client may be the target virtual object. In the shooting confrontation game mission, many obstacles are provided in order to enhance the confrontation difficulty and interactivity.

After starting a game task, the player controls the currently controlled virtual character to move forward as by step S1102. When an obstacle is encountered, step S1104 is performed to determine whether the virtual character collides with the obstacle. If it is determined that the vehicle does not collide with the obstacle, the process returns to the step S1102. If it is determined that the virtual character collides with the obstacle, step S1106 is executed to calculate a collision angle (i.e., an angle between a moving direction and a vertical direction of a collision surface of the obstacle) when the virtual character collides with the obstacle. Then, it is determined whether the collision angle exceeds the coasting angle (i.e., whether the coasting condition is reached) in step S1108.

If the collision angle is smaller than the slidable angle, in step S1110-1, the virtual character is controlled to stop moving. And adjusts the moving direction thereof according to the manual operation of the player and continues the forward movement according to the new adjusted moving direction, e.g., returning to step S1102.

If the collision angle is greater than or equal to the slidable angle, in step S1110-2, the sliding speed of the virtual character when sliding along the obstacle is calculated. Step S1112 is executed again to determine whether the vehicle leaves the obstacle after the vehicle slides for a certain distance. If the vehicle does not leave the obstacle, the method returns to the step before the step S1110-2. If the virtual character leaves the obstacle, step S1114 is executed to stop the sliding compensation and control the virtual character to return to the normal speed.

The process shown in fig. 11 is an example, the flow steps and the execution sequence thereof are examples, and this embodiment is not limited in any way.
