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. 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 present disclosure. One skilled in the relevant art will recognize, however, that the aspects of the disclosure may be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or with other methods, components, devices, steps, etc. In other instances, well-known technical solutions have not been shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring aspects of the present disclosure.

Furthermore, the drawings are merely schematic illustrations of the present disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and thus a repetitive description thereof will be omitted. Some of the block diagrams shown in the figures are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically separate entities. These 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.

Herein, "first," "second," and the like are labels for specific objects, and do not limit the number or order of objects.

In the related art, a player adjusts the array capacity of a virtual fighting character by switching back and forth among a plurality of interfaces. For example: when the player wants to place the virtual fight character a in the fight position B, if the virtual fight character a is located in the character candidate area (if the virtual fight character a is not located in the character candidate area, the virtual fight character a needs to be recovered in advance from the virtual scene including the virtual fight character a to the character candidate area), the virtual scene displayed in the current scene display area is the virtual scene S1, the fight position B is included in the virtual scene S2, and the player needs to manually switch the current virtual scene S1 to the virtual scene S2, and drag the virtual fight character a in the character candidate area to the fight position B. Therefore, the existing virtual fight character array capacity adjustment mode is complex and complicated in operation, and players cannot intuitively know the position situation of the virtual fight character at the first time, so that array capacity information is inconvenient to memorize, and the game experience effect of the players is poor.

In view of one or more of the above problems, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure provide a game character control method, the game including a virtual fight character and a virtual scene for providing a game fight environment, the virtual scene including a plurality of fight positions for placing the virtual fight character.

The execution subject of the game character control method may be a client that runs a fight game. Specifically, when the fight game is a stand-alone game (that is, an electronic game that can be independently executed using only one computer or other game platform), the client may directly process the game operation after receiving the game operation instruction, and display the operation result. When the fight game is a network game (that is, an individual multi-player online game with considerable sustainability, which aims to achieve entertainment, leisure, communication and virtual achievement, by taking the internet as a transmission medium, taking a game operator server and a user computer as a processing terminal and taking game client software as an information interaction window), the client can upload relevant operation data to the game server after receiving a game operation instruction, and display an operation result according to feedback data of the game server.

It should be noted that the game role control method can be applied to a chessboard type game scene. The chessboard type game is a chessboard type game in which the chesses are laid out in advance before the chess plays, and the chesses can be automatically played according to the pre-laid out in the playing process. The chessman can be represented by a virtual fight character, and the virtual fight character automatically releases various skills to fight in the fight process. The fight is usually made by a round system, and when all the pieces of a fight party are gusted out (i.e. the life value of a virtual fight object is reduced to zero), the party is a loser of the fight. In the combat stage, the player can purchase a virtual combat character by using virtual currency, the virtual combat character can be a virtual chess piece, a virtual character, a virtual animal, a cartoon character and the like, and the virtual combat character can be displayed by adopting a three-dimensional model so as to improve the image degree, and the virtual combat character can be specifically set according to the actual situation by himself.

Fig. 1 shows a schematic flow of a game character control method in the present exemplary embodiment, including the following steps S110 to S150:

step S110, a display graphical user interface is provided through terminal equipment, the content displayed in the graphical user interface comprises a scene display area and a role candidate area, the scene display area is used for displaying a target virtual scene, the target virtual scene is a local area in the current game visual field range of the virtual scene, and the role candidate area is used for displaying at least one role identifier which refers to a virtual fight role;

Step S120, obtaining information of fight positions in at least part of virtual scenes outside the target virtual scene;

step S130, determining the relative position relation between the fight position and the target virtual scene, and determining a first display position on the graphical user interface according to the relative position relation;

step S140, displaying a first position identifier for referring to the fight position at a first display position, and/or displaying a first character identifier for referring to a virtual fight character placed at the fight position;

step S150, in response to the selection operation of the character identifications of the candidate diagonal areas, determining a target virtual fight character, and in response to the selection operation of the first position identification or the first character identification, placing the target virtual fight character at the fight position pointed by the first position identification or replacing the virtual fight character pointed by the first character identification with the target virtual fight character.

Each step in fig. 1 is specifically described below.

Step S110, a display graphical user interface is provided through the terminal equipment, the content displayed in the graphical user interface comprises a scene display area and a role candidate area, the scene display area is used for displaying a target virtual scene, the target virtual scene is a local area in the current game visual field range of the virtual scene, and the role candidate area is used for displaying at least one role identifier which refers to a virtual fight role.

The terminal device may be various electronic devices having a display screen and supporting web browsing, including but not limited to smart phones, tablet computers, car computers, laptop computers, desktop computers, and the like. A graphical user interface is a form of user interface that allows a user to interact with an electronic device not through a text interface, typing command labels, or text navigation, but through icons and visual indicators (e.g., auxiliary symbol cues).

The scene display area is an area in the graphical user interface that occupies a majority of the area of the graphical user interface and is used to display the target virtual scene, as shown by area 210 in FIG. 2A. When the virtual scene is larger, the scene display area can display the local virtual scene in the current game visual field range, and can not display all the virtual scenes in the current game visual field range at the same time, wherein the target virtual scene is the local virtual scene displayed in the current scene display area.

The character candidate area is an area in the graphical user interface in which character identifications of a number of virtual opponent characters can be placed, as shown by area 220 in fig. 2A. The character identifier of the virtual fight character refers to an image or character identifier capable of representing identity information of the virtual fight character, and can comprise any one or more of the following: the character head image of the virtual fight character, the character name of the virtual fight character and the identity number of the virtual fight character. The virtual fight character corresponding to the character identifier contained in the character candidate area does not participate in fight in the fight process, and can be adjusted to the virtual scene by the player in the fight preparation stage. By way of example, the candidate areas may be set in a list form, so that the player may view the character identifications of all the virtual combat objects in a sliding manner, so as to intuitively and orderly display the character identifications of a plurality of virtual combat objects.

As shown in fig. 2A, the graphical user display interface is divided into a scene display area 210 and a character candidate area 220. The scene display area 210 displays a target virtual scene, in which virtual combat characters are placed, and the virtual combat characters are placed at corresponding hexagonal combat positions, where the hexagonal combat positions are an exemplary representation, and specifically, the combat position form may be set by itself according to actual situations, which is not particularly limited in the present disclosure. The character candidate area 220 displays a character identifier 221, a character identifier 222, a character identifier 223, and a character identifier 224, which refer to different virtual combat characters, where the character identifiers are an exemplary representation, specifically, the number of character identifiers in the character candidate area 220 and the virtual combat characters represented by the character identifiers may be set according to the actual situation, which is not limited in this disclosure.

Step S120, obtaining information of the fight position in at least part of the virtual scenes outside the target virtual scene.

The virtual scene comprises a plurality of fight positions and can be used for placing virtual fight objects which fight in the fight process. The acquired information of the fight position may be position coordinate information of the fight position in the virtual scene, azimuth information relative to the current target virtual scene, and related data representing the fight position such as a fight position number.

Step S130, determining the relative position relation between the fight position and the target virtual scene, and determining a first display position on the graphical user interface according to the relative position relation.

The relative positional relationship refers to the azimuth relationship of the fight position relative to the target virtual scene, and the relative positional relationship between the fight position and the target virtual scene can be determined according to the acquired information of the fight position in at least part of the virtual scenes outside the target virtual scene.

The first display position may be an edge position located in the scene display area, and the edge position (including an upper edge, a lower edge, a left edge and a right edge) specifically located in the scene display area may correspond to a relative positional relationship between the combat position and the target virtual scene. For example, when the fight position is located on the right side of the target virtual scene, the right edge position of the scene display area may be determined as the first display position. By the aid of the method, shielding of other operable objects in the graphical user interface can be avoided, corresponding identification information can be displayed at the display position, and normal operation of a user is not affected. In addition, the player can prompt the azimuth of the corresponding fight position on the display position relative to the current target virtual scene, so that the player can quickly switch to the virtual scene of the corresponding fight position on the display position through the sliding target virtual scene interface based on the azimuth, and the convenience of searching the fight position by the user is improved. It should be noted that, the sliding direction is opposite to the edge position where the display position is located, for example, when the first display position is located at the right edge of the scene display area, it indicates that the corresponding fight position exists in the virtual scene on the right side of the target virtual scene, and the interface including the fight position can be switched by sliding the target virtual scene to the left; when the first display position is positioned at the upper edge of the scene display area, the corresponding fight position exists in the virtual scene above the target virtual scene, and the interface containing the fight position can be switched by sliding the target virtual scene downwards.

It should be noted that, since the number of the combat locations outside the target virtual scene may be one or more, more than one first display locations may be determined.

Step S140, displaying a first position identifier for referring to the fight position at the first display position, and/or displaying a first character identifier for referring to the virtual fight character placed at the fight position.

The first location identifier refers to an image or text identifier capable of referring to a combat location. For example, it may be an identification such as a number, name, or pattern that uniquely refers to a certain combat location. The first character identifier refers to an image or character identifier capable of referring to a virtual fighting character at a fighting position, and may include any one or more of the following: the character head of the virtual fight character, the character name of the virtual fight character, and the identity number of the virtual fight character are shown as a first character identifier 211, a first character identifier 212, and a first character identifier 213 in fig. 2A. The first character identifier may be the same as or different from the character identifier in the candidate area, and specifically, may be set by itself according to the actual situation, which is not particularly limited in the present disclosure.

It should be noted that, when the first position identifier and/or the first character identifier are displayed at the first display position, the first position identifier and/or the first character identifier may be displayed in the following several manners:

when a virtual fight role exists in a fight position outside a target virtual scene, only displaying a first role identifier for referring to the virtual fight role placed in the fight position; when the virtual fight role does not exist in the fight position outside the target virtual scene, no mark is displayed in the first display position.

Secondly, when a virtual fight role exists in a fight position outside a target virtual scene, displaying a first position identifier for indicating the fight position and a first role identifier for indicating the virtual fight role placed in the fight position in a first display position; and when the virtual fight role does not exist in the fight position outside the target virtual scene, displaying a first position identifier for referring to the fight position in a first display position.

And thirdly, when the virtual fight character exists at the fight position outside the target virtual scene, displaying a first character identifier for indicating the virtual fight character placed at the fight position at a first display position, and when the virtual fight character does not exist at the fight position outside the target virtual scene, displaying the first position identifier for indicating the fight position.

The display process of the first position mark and/or the first corner mark in the scene display area is not only convenient for a player to know and memorize the character array, but also can indicate the position and the direction of the fight position and/or the direction of the virtual fight character on the fight position, provide game strategy guidance for the player, and provide an object capable of being interactively operated for the array adjustment of the virtual fight character so as to provide convenience for realizing the station adjustment of the game character.

In the step S150, the virtual combat character corresponding to the character identifier in the character candidate area can be directly adjusted to the virtual scene outside the target virtual scene, so that the game scene does not need to be switched back and forth, and the complex player operation is simplified. The selection operation may be clicking, long pressing, dragging, or the like, and the virtual fight character corresponding to the character identifier selected by the player in the character candidate area may be used as the target virtual fight character. When the player performs the selection operation on the first position identification, the target virtual fight character can be placed at the fight position pointed by the first position identification selected by the player, and if the virtual fight character originally exists at the fight position, the character identification of the target virtual fight character can be replaced by the character identification of the original virtual fight character in the character candidate area, so that the original virtual fight character is recovered in the character candidate area. When the player performs the selection operation with respect to the first character identification, the virtual fight character indicated by the first character identification selected by the player may be replaced with the target virtual fight character, and the character identification of the target virtual fight character may be replaced with the character identification of the virtual fight character indicated by the first character identification in the character candidate area.

In an alternative embodiment, the steps of determining the target virtual fight character in response to the selection operation of the character identifier of the diagonal candidate area, and placing the target virtual fight character at the fight position pointed by the first position identifier or replacing the virtual fight character pointed by the first character identifier with the target virtual fight character in response to the selection operation of the first position identifier or the first character identifier may be further implemented by: and in response to a drag operation of dragging the character identifier of the character candidate area from the character candidate area to the first position identifier or the first character identifier, placing the virtual fight character corresponding to the dragged character identifier at the fight position pointed by the first position identifier or replacing the virtual fight character pointed by the first character identifier with the virtual fight character corresponding to the dragged character identifier.

As shown in fig. 2B, according to the drag operation of the player, the character identifier 221 in the character candidate area 220 may be dragged to the first character identifier 212, so as to implement a function of replacing the virtual fight character indicated by the first character identifier 212 with the virtual fight character corresponding to the dragged character identifier 221.

According to the method, the character identification of the selected character candidate area and the selected first position identification or the first character identification can be determined based on the starting position and the ending position of the drag operation, the position of the virtual fight character can be adjusted through simple drag operation, the operation is convenient, frequent switching of game interfaces is not needed, and the efficiency of character array adjustment of players can be improved.

It should be noted that, the dragging of the character identifier of the character candidate area and the first position identifier or the first character identifier may be bidirectional, that is, in response to the dragging operation of dragging the first position identifier or the first character identifier to the character identifier of the character candidate area, the virtual combat character corresponding to the character identifier is placed at the combat position pointed by the dragged first position identifier or the virtual combat character pointed by the dragged first character identifier is replaced by the virtual combat character corresponding to the character identifier, so as to improve the flexibility of the player operation, as shown in fig. 2C, the first character identifier 212 may be dragged to the position of the character identifier 221 in the character candidate area 220 according to the dragging operation of the player, so as to implement the function of replacing the virtual combat character pointed by the first character identifier 212 with the virtual combat character corresponding to the character identifier 221 in the character candidate area.

In an alternative embodiment, the method may further include determining a target virtual fight character in response to a selection operation of the virtual fight character placed at the fight position in the target virtual scene, and placing the target virtual fight character at the fight position indicated by the first position identification or replacing the virtual fight character indicated by the first character identification with the target virtual fight character in response to a selection operation for the first position identification or the first character identification.

In the above process, the virtual combat character at the combat position selected by the player in the target virtual scene is taken as the target virtual combat character. When a player selects a first position identification, a target virtual fight role can be placed at a fight position pointed by the first position identification, and if the virtual fight role originally exists at the fight position, the virtual fight role pointed by the first angle identification can be placed at the fight position where the target virtual fight role originally exists in the target virtual scene. When the player performs the selection operation on the first character mark, the virtual fight character pointed by the first character mark can be replaced by the target virtual fight character, and the virtual fight character pointed by the first character mark is placed at the original position of the target virtual fight character in the target virtual scene.

In the process, the station positions of the virtual fight roles in the target virtual scene can be directly adjusted, the virtual fight roles in the target virtual scene are adjusted to the virtual scene outside the target virtual scene, the virtual fight roles do not need to be recycled from the target virtual scene to the role candidate area and then put into the virtual scene, and the operation flow of the station position adjustment of the virtual fight roles is simplified.

In an alternative embodiment, the step of determining the target virtual fight character in response to the selection operation of the virtual fight character placed at the fight position in the target virtual scene, and placing the target virtual fight character at the fight position pointed to by the first position identifier or replacing the virtual fight character pointed to by the first character identifier with the target virtual fight character in response to the selection operation of the first position identifier or the first character identifier may be further implemented by: in response to a drag operation of dragging the virtual fight character at the fight position in the target virtual scene from the fight position to the first position identification or the first character identification, the dragged virtual fight character is placed at the fight position pointed by the first position identification or the virtual fight character pointed by the first character identification is replaced by the dragged virtual fight character.

As shown in fig. 2D, the virtual combat character 232 at the combat position in the target virtual scene may be dragged to the first corner mark 212 according to the dragging operation of the player, so as to implement the function of replacing the virtual combat character pointed by the first corner mark 212 with the virtual combat character 232.

According to the method, the virtual fight role of the fight position in the selected target virtual scene and the selected first position mark or the first role mark can be determined based on the starting position and the ending position of the drag operation, the position of the virtual fight role can be adjusted through simple drag operation, the operation is convenient, frequent game interface switching is not needed, and the efficiency of matrix adjustment of the player roles can be improved.

It should be noted that, the dragging between the virtual fight character at the fight position in the target virtual scene and the first position identifier or the first character identifier may be bidirectional, that is, in response to the dragging of the first position identifier or the first character identifier to the virtual fight object at the fight position in the target virtual scene, the virtual fight character at the fight position in the target virtual scene is placed at the fight position pointed by the dragged first position identifier or the virtual fight character pointed by the first character identifier is replaced with the virtual fight character at the fight position in the target virtual scene, as shown in fig. 2E, the first character identifier 212 may be dragged to the virtual fight character 232 at the fight position in the target virtual scene according to the dragging operation of the player, so as to realize the function of replacing the virtual fight character pointed by the first character color mark 212 with the virtual fight character 232.

In an alternative embodiment, the target combat position may be further determined in response to a selection operation of the combat position in the target virtual scene, and the virtual combat character referred to by the first character identification may be placed in the target combat position in response to a selection operation for the first character identification.

The process can directly adjust the virtual fight roles outside the target virtual scene to the fight positions in the target virtual scene, and the player does not need to manually switch game interfaces, so that the flexibility of adjusting the role station positions is further enhanced.

In an alternative embodiment, the method may further include determining a target virtual fight character in response to a selection operation of character identification of the diagonal candidate region, and placing the target virtual fight character in the fight position or replacing the virtual fight character in the fight position with the target virtual fight character in response to a selection operation for the fight position or the virtual fight character in the fight position in the target virtual scene.

In the process, the virtual fight role corresponding to the role identifier in the role candidate area can be adjusted to the target virtual scene so as to meet the requirement of the player on adjusting the role station in the current scene display area.
