Optionally, the client controls the position of the virtual object in the virtual environment where the target prop is released to be selected by the user through the prop use control. For example, the operation of the prop use control is a sliding operation, and the client controls the virtual object to release the target prop to the target position in the virtual environment in response to the touch position moving from the prop use control to the target position. Alternatively, the target location may be any point in the virtual environment, as this application is not limited in this regard.

Optionally, the attack mode of the target prop is set by the user. The user may select one of the attack modes of the target prop provided by the system, for example, the system may provide two attack modes of explosion of the target prop and release of toxic gas.

Optionally, the form of the target prop and the attack mode of the target prop can be freely combined. Illustratively, the target prop is in the form of a robot, and the attack mode is explosion, then the target prop may be referred to as an explosion robot. An exemplary target prop is in the form of a virtual cat and the attack is the release of toxic gases, then the target prop may be referred to as a toxic gas cat.

At step 230, the target prop is controlled to move over the ground of the virtual environment and track the target object.

Optionally, the client controls the target prop to move and track the target object on the ground of the virtual environment.

Illustratively, the system provides a planned travel route for the target prop, which moves according to the planned travel route provided by the system. Optionally, the target prop moves randomly on the ground of the virtual environment according to the actual situation. For example, if the target prop encounters an obstacle while moving, the movement is continued bypassing the obstacle, and if the target prop does not encounter an obstacle while moving, the movement is straight.

Alternatively, the tracking target of the target prop may be an hostile virtual object. Alternatively, the hostile virtual object may be AI-controlled or other user-controlled, which is not limited in this application.

The triggering condition refers to a condition that triggers the target prop range injury function. Optionally, the triggering condition of the target prop includes that the direct distance between the target prop and the target object is smaller than a threshold value. Alternatively, the threshold value may be set by the system, or may be set by user-definition, which is not limited in this application. Illustratively, in response to the distance between the target prop and the target object in the virtual environment being less than the threshold value, the client controls the target prop to conduct range attack on the region in which the target object is located.

Optionally, the triggering condition of the target prop includes that the moving speed of the target object is smaller than a threshold value. Alternatively, the threshold value may be set by the system, or may be set by user-definition, which is not limited in this application.

The user clicks the explosion robot selection control 520, and the client displays an explosion robot information interface 530, wherein information of the equipment control 540, the disguised control 550 and the explosion robot is displayed in the explosion robot information interface 530.

In response to an operation for the equipment control, the virtual object equipment target prop is controlled. When the client displays the user interface, a target prop use control displayed in the user interface is used for controlling the virtual object to use the target prop.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 5, the user clicks on the equipment control 540 and the client controls the virtual object equipment blasting robot. When the client displays the user interface, the target prop use control displayed in the user interface is used for controlling the virtual object to use the blasting robot.

Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 4, the user clicks on a prop use control and the client controls virtual object 330 to release target prop 340 in the virtual environment. In one example, after the client controls the virtual object to release the target prop, the position of the target prop in the virtual environment is displayed through the virtual map.

Optionally, the initial target direction of the target prop is set by the system. In an exemplary embodiment, the system sets the initial target direction of the target prop to be directly in front of the virtual object, and after the virtual object releases the target prop in the virtual environment, the target prop moves linearly toward the directly in front of the virtual object. Optionally, the initial target direction of the target prop is selected by the user. In one example, a user selects an initial target direction of a target prop through a direction control. Illustratively, the direction control may be a rocker control, and the user selects the initial direction of the target prop by selecting the pointing direction of the rocker. In another example, the user selects an initial target direction for the target prop by a sliding operation using a control for the prop.

The diversity of the movement track of the target prop is increased, multiple tactical choices are provided for the game, and better combat experience is provided for the user.

In the embodiment of the application, in response to collision of the target prop with an obstacle in the virtual environment, a reflection direction corresponding to the target direction is determined, and the target prop is controlled to linearly move on the ground of the virtual environment towards the reflection direction. In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in fig. 7, in response to the collision of the target prop with an obstacle in the virtual environment, the target direction in which the target prop is currently moving is taken as an incident direction 710, a normal direction 720 of the obstacle is determined, a reflection direction 730 is obtained through the incident direction 710 and the normal direction 720, and the client controls the target prop to linearly move toward the reflection direction 730. The angle between the incident direction 710 and the normal direction 720 is an angle 1, the angle between the reflected direction 730 and the normal direction 720 is an angle 2, and the angles 1 and 2 are equal in size.

The detection area of the target prop is a sector area taking a position point of the target prop as an origin, the radius of the sector area is R, and the distance between the position point of the target object and the position point of the target prop is R, wherein R is smaller than or equal to R. And when r is smaller than the threshold value, the client controls the target prop to conduct range attack on the area where the target object is located. For example, if the threshold value is R/2, when R is smaller than R/2, the client controls the target prop to perform range attack on the area where the target object is located.

Optionally, in response to the target prop being injured, calculating an injury value to which the target prop is subjected; and under the condition that the damage value born by the target prop is larger than the durable value, controlling the target prop to attack the current area in a range. Illustratively, the target object discovers the target prop and attacks the target prop before the target prop meets the trigger condition. In response to damage to the target prop, the client calculates a damage value born by the target prop, and under the condition that the damage value born by the target prop is larger than the durable value, the client controls the target prop to conduct range attack on the current area. Alternatively, the endurance value is set by the system.

Optionally, calculating the damage to the target object under the condition that the target object exists in the attack range of the target prop; and under the condition that the target object does not exist in the attack range of the target prop, the injury calculation is not carried out. Optionally, the injury is calculated from a distance between a location point of the target object and a location point of the target prop. For example, the closer the distance between the location point of the target object and the location point of the target prop, the higher the damage suffered by the target object, and the maximum value of the damage suffered by the target object does not exceed the damage threshold of the target prop. Optionally, the injury threshold of the target prop is set by the system.

In summary, the technical scheme provided by the application provides the target prop which moves on the ground of the virtual environment according to the detection track, and the target prop moves on the ground and is not easy to be found by an adversary, so that the virtual object can achieve a larger injury effect by using the virtual prop with the range injury function; meanwhile, the target prop has a target tracking function, can automatically track a target object, can cause a great deal of damage to the target object after the triggering condition of the target prop is met, and improves the damage effect which can be obtained by the virtual prop with a range damage function.
