The user device 102 includes, but is not limited to, a handheld device (e.g., a mobile phone), a notebook computer, a desktop computer, a vehicle-mounted device, etc., and the invention is not limited to a particular implementation of the user device 102.

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

s202, displaying a first virtual operation object, a second virtual operation object and a subordinate virtual operation object of the first virtual operation object which participate in a game task, wherein the first virtual operation object and the second virtual operation object belong to different camps;

s204, responding to a control attack instruction triggered on the first virtual operation object, and controlling the first virtual operation object to execute target attack operation, wherein the target attack operation is set to cause loss of the life value of the second virtual operation object when the second virtual operation object is hit, and the target attack operation is set to not cause loss of the life value of the subordinate virtual operation object when the subordinate virtual operation object is hit;

S206, displaying a target control button in the case that the target attack operation hits the subordinate virtual operation object, wherein the target control button is used for controlling and adjusting the display transparency of the subordinate virtual operation object.

Alternatively, in the present embodiment, the method for displaying a virtual object may be, but not limited to, applied to a target game application, for example, a process screen of a game task is displayed in the target game application, and in the process screen, a display screen of a first virtual operation object, a second virtual operation object, and a subordinate virtual operation object of the first virtual operation object is included; and displaying a target control button to adjust the display transparency of the subordinate virtual operation object under the condition that the target attack operation of the first virtual operation object hits the subordinate virtual operation object, so as to reduce the influence degree of the shielding of the sight of the first virtual operation object by the subordinate virtual operation object.

Alternatively, in the present embodiment, the target game application may include, but is not limited to, all games including, but not limited to, a first person shooter game, a third person shooter game, and the like, which use a heat weapon class to conduct a remote attack. Among other things, the target shooting application may be a multiplayer online tactical Game (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena abbreviated MOBA) or a Single Player Game (SPG). It should be noted that the types of the above game applications may include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following: two-dimensional (2D) game applications, three-dimensional (3D) game applications, virtual Reality (VR) game applications, augmented Reality (Augmented Reality, AR) game applications, mixed Reality (MR) game applications. The above is merely an example, and the present embodiment is not limited in any way.

Alternatively, in this embodiment, the target game application may, but is not limited to, log in by the target account number into a target shooting application running in the game client, and control the first virtual operation object by the target account number. That is, the player logs in to the target shooting application running in the game client through the account number, and controls the first virtual operation object. Displaying a game picture of a target shooting game in a display screen of a mobile terminal where a client running a target shooting application is located; alternatively, for example, in the case where the target attack operation hits the subordinate virtual operation object, a target control button is displayed; and further responding to a control adjustment instruction triggered on the target control button, and improving the display transparency of the subordinate virtual operation object so as to enable the subordinate virtual operation object to be displayed more transparently.

Alternatively, in the present embodiment, the greater the display transparency may be, but is not limited to, the more transparent the display representing the subordinate virtual operation object; similarly, the smaller the display transparency may be, but is not limited to, the more opaque the display representing the subordinate virtual operation object. Alternatively, the display transparency may be, but is not limited to being, determined by a transparency attribute, where the transparency attribute may be, but is not limited to, used to control the display transparency (transparency degree) of the display object in a game task, and the transparency attribute has a negative correlation with the display transparency, that is, the higher the transparency attribute, the lower the display transparency, and the lower the transparency attribute, the higher the display transparency. And the lower the display transparency is, the greater the influence degree caused by the corresponding display object when the corresponding display object is blocked in one game task is, whereas the higher the display transparency is, the smaller the influence degree caused by the corresponding display object when the corresponding display object is blocked in one game task is.

Further by way of example, optionally, as shown in FIG. 3, a first virtual operand 302 and a subordinate virtual operand 304 are displayed that collectively perform a game task; assuming that a view angle screen of the first virtual operation object 302 is shown in fig. 3, in this view angle screen, in addition to the obstacle (wall) obstructing a part of the view, the subordinate virtual operation object 304 also causes a more or less obstruction to the view of the first virtual operation object 302;

based on this, assuming that the transparency attribute of the subordinate virtual operation object 304 is the transparency attribute of the standard, it may be understood that the current subordinate virtual operation object 304 is completely displayed, and the degree of influence of the sight line obstruction on the first virtual operation object 302 is also completely influenced; however, if the transparency attribute of the dependent virtual operation object 304 is assumed to be the target transparency attribute of the transparency attribute lower than the standard, it may be understood, but not limited to, that the current dependent virtual operation object 304 is not completely displayed (or transparent displayed), and the degree of influence of the line of sight obstruction caused to the first virtual operation object 302 is determined based on the current transparency degree of the dependent virtual operation object 304, for example, if the current dependent virtual operation object 304 is completely transparent displayed, the degree of influence of the line of sight obstruction caused to the first virtual operation object 302 may be understood, but not limited to, to be minimized.

Alternatively, in this embodiment, the first virtual operation object may be, but is not limited to, a virtual operation object controlled by a target account, and the subordinate virtual operation object may be understood as a virtual operation object controlled by an account other than the target account, or may be understood as a virtual operation object autonomously controlled by a system, for example, a non-player character (NPC);

in addition, the subordinate virtual operation object may be, but not limited to, other virtual operation objects controlled by the target account number, in particular, for example, in a strategic game, a player (target account number) often controls a plurality of virtual operation objects to perform a common combat, and in this scenario, the first virtual operation object may be, but not limited to, a virtual operation object mainly controlled at the current view angle, and the subordinate virtual operation object may be, but not limited to, a virtual operation object secondarily controlled at the current view angle.

Moreover, the subordinate virtual operation object may be, but not limited to, an operation object controlled by the target account number and subordinate to the first virtual operation object, for example, a virtual operation object called out or associated with the first virtual operation object through some special prop or skill, where the subordinate operation object often can assist the first virtual operation object to execute a game task in a manner of system help operation in a free operation mode, a movement track of the subordinate operation object is more difficult to control for the first virtual operation object, and a sight blocking situation occurs more easily.

Optionally, in the present embodiment, the target attack operation may include, but is not limited to, at least one of: near combat attack operations (e.g., knife chop, spike, etc.), remote attack operations (e.g., shooting, magic, etc.). The target attack operation may be, but not limited to, set to cause damage to the hit enemy virtual operation object, but in the case that the friend virtual operation object (e.g., the subordinate virtual operation object) is hit by the target attack operation, the subordinate virtual operation object will not be damaged, so as to reduce the accidental injury probability of the target attack operation and improve the attack efficiency of the target attack operation.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the target control button may be, but is not limited to, a fixed button, and the fixed button is associated with a fixed second transparency attribute, so that in a case where the fixed button is triggered, the transparency attribute associated with the subordinate virtual operation object is indicated to be adjusted to be a fixed second transparency attribute, and the fixation may be, but is not limited to, indicating that the second transparency attribute does not change with a factor such as a distance, until the shutdown operation is triggered again on the fixed button.

Alternatively, in this embodiment, the target control button may be, but not limited to, a progress bar type button, that is, a transparency parameter indicating that the target control button can flexibly select different values as the second transparency attribute, and in the case that the target control button is triggered, adjust the transparency attribute associated with the subordinate virtual operation object to the selected and fixed second transparency attribute.

It should be noted that, displaying a first virtual operation object, a second virtual operation object and a subordinate virtual operation object of the first virtual operation object, wherein the first virtual operation object and the second virtual operation object belong to different camps; controlling the first virtual operation object to execute target attack operation in response to a control attack instruction triggered on the first virtual operation object, wherein the target attack operation is set to cause loss of the life value of the second virtual operation object when the second virtual operation object is hit, and the target attack operation is set to not cause loss of the life value of the subordinate virtual operation object when the subordinate virtual operation object is hit; in the case where the target attack operation hits the subordinate virtual operation object, a target control button is displayed.

Further by way of example, continuing with the scenario shown in FIG. 3, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, a first virtual operand 302 that participates in a game task is displayed, as well as a subordinate virtual operand 304 that belongs to a set of virtual operands (dashed circles) with the first virtual operand 302, as shown in (a) of FIG. 4; further assume that the target attack operation of the first virtual operation object 302 hits the dependent virtual operation object 306, in which case a target control button 402 for controlling adjustment of the display transparency of the dependent virtual operation object will be displayed, as shown in (b) of fig. 4.

Further by way of example, as shown in fig. 4, a first virtual operation object 302 participating in a game task, and a subordinate virtual operation object 304 belonging to a virtual operation object set (dotted circle) with the first virtual operation object 302 are displayed, as shown in fig. 4 (a); further assuming that the line of sight of the first virtual operation object 302 is blocked by the dependent virtual operation object 304, the dependent virtual operation object 304 of the target transparency attribute (indicated by a broken line) is displayed, as shown in (b) in fig. 4. In comparison, the subordinate virtual operation object 304 shown in fig. 4 (a) is completely displayed, and the blocking degree of the sight line of the first virtual operation object 302 is also completely blocked, or the influence degree is larger; viewing the subordinate virtual operation object 304 (indicated by a broken line) shown in fig. 4 (b) in reverse is an incomplete (or semi-transparent) display, and the degree of blocking of the line of sight to the first virtual operation object 302 is also incomplete, or has a small influence.

According to the embodiment provided by the application, a first virtual operation object, a second virtual operation object and a subordinate virtual operation object of the first virtual operation object which participate in a game task are displayed, wherein the first virtual operation object and the second virtual operation object belong to different camps; controlling the first virtual operation object to execute target attack operation in response to a control attack instruction triggered on the first virtual operation object, wherein the target attack operation is set to cause loss of the life value of the second virtual operation object when the second virtual operation object is hit, and the target attack operation is set to not cause loss of the life value of the subordinate virtual operation object when the subordinate virtual operation object is hit; and displaying a target control button under the condition that target attack operation hits the slave virtual operation object, wherein the target control button is used for controlling and adjusting the display transparency of the slave virtual operation object, and the target control button is used for adjusting the display transparency of the slave virtual operation object, so that the slave virtual operation object which blocks the sight is displayed in a more flexible mode, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the influence degree when the slave virtual operation object blocks the sight, and further achieving the technical effect of improving the display flexibility of the virtual object.

As an alternative, in the case that the target attack operation hits the dependent virtual operation object, the method further includes:

s1, displaying that target attack operation penetrates through a subordinate virtual operation object;

s2, after the target attack operation passes through the subordinate virtual operation object, when the target attack operation hits the second virtual operation object, the life value of the second virtual operation object is displayed to be lost.

Optionally, in this embodiment, after the target attack operation hits and penetrates the subordinate virtual operation object, the attack on the other virtual operation will continue, in other words, the subordinate virtual operation object will not block the target attack operation, for example, when the target attack operation hits the second virtual operation object as an enemy unit after penetrating the subordinate virtual operation object, the life value of the second virtual operation object is displayed to be lost.

As an alternative, the method further comprises:

s1, displaying a third virtual operation object participating in a game task, wherein the third virtual operation object and the first virtual operation object belong to the same camping;

s2, when the target attack operation hits the third virtual operation object, the target attack operation is displayed without losing the life value of the third virtual operation object.

Alternatively, in the present embodiment, the third virtual operation object may be, but is not limited to, a peer object that is a master virtual operation object (e.g., a first virtual operation object), such as a teammate operation object, an enemy operation object, an NPC, or the like.

It should be noted that, the operation or movement of the slave virtual operation object is often performed around the master virtual operation object (such as the first virtual operation object), so that the occurrence probability of shielding the master virtual operation object is also greater; in addition, in the combat mode, the attack operation of the master virtual operation object may fail or hit cannot be guaranteed due to frequent blocking of the slave virtual operation object. Based on this, in this embodiment, the slave virtual operation object is not only not damaged by the attack operation (target attack operation) of the master virtual operation object, but also does not cause blocking of the attack operation of the master virtual operation object, in other words, the slave virtual operation object does not block not only the line of sight of the master virtual operation object but also the attack operation of the master virtual operation object, so as to reduce the degree of influence on the master virtual operation object to the greatest extent.

The peer virtual operation object is usually a virtual operation object controlled by other player account numbers, and the movement and operation of the peer virtual operation object are tracked and circulated, so that in order to improve the simulation degree in the game task execution process, the statistical virtual operation object is set to not block the sight of the main control virtual operation object, but block the attack operation of the main control virtual operation object.

By the embodiment provided by the application, the third virtual operation object participating in a game task is displayed, wherein the third virtual operation object and the first virtual operation object belong to the same camp; under the condition that the target attack operation hits the third virtual operation object, the life value of the target attack operation on the third virtual operation object is not lost, the purpose of flexibly configuring whether different types of virtual operation objects cause attack blocking on the first virtual operation object is achieved, and the effect of improving the display flexibility of the virtual operation object is achieved.

As an alternative, after displaying the first virtual operation object, the second virtual operation object, and the subordinate virtual operation object of the first virtual operation object that participate in a game task, the method includes:

and displaying the third virtual operation object with the first transparency under the condition that the sight line of the first virtual operation object is blocked by the third virtual operation object, wherein the first transparency is higher than the initial display transparency, and the initial display transparency is the unadjusted initial transparency.

As an alternative, displaying that the target attack operation has not caused a loss of the life value of the third virtual operation object includes:

And under the condition that the auxiliary sub-props associated with the target attack operation hit the third virtual operation object, displaying that the target attack operation does not cause loss to the life value of the third virtual operation object and the number of the auxiliary sub-props held by the first virtual operation object is not changed.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the auxiliary sub-props may be, but are not limited to, sub-props that are consumed for remote attack operations, such as bullets, magic elements, mines, etc.

In order to improve the utilization efficiency of the auxiliary sub-props, if the third virtual operation object hits the auxiliary sub-props transmitted by the target attack operation, the number of auxiliary sub-props currently held by the first virtual operation object is not consumed.

and displaying the subordinate virtual operation object with the second transparency under the condition that the sight of the first virtual operation object is blocked by the subordinate virtual operation object, wherein the second transparency is higher than the initial display transparency, and the initial display transparency is the unadjusted initial transparency.

As an alternative, displaying the subordinate virtual operation object of the second transparency includes:

and displaying the subordinate virtual operation object with the second transparency, wherein the second transparency is in negative correlation with the target distance, and the target distance is the linear distance between the subordinate virtual operation object and the first virtual operation object.

Alternatively, in the present embodiment, the linear distance between the operation objects is also generally correlated with the degree of influence of blocking the line of sight, and the correlation is generally such that the farther the distance is, the lower the degree of influence of blocking the line of sight is, or vice versa, the closer the distance is, the higher the degree of influence of blocking the line of sight is.

Further by way of example, as shown in fig. 5, optionally, in a case where the line of sight of the first virtual operation object is blocked by the subordinate virtual operation object, the display transparency is determined according to the target distance 506 between the subordinate virtual operation object 504 and the first virtual operation object 502, and the subordinate virtual operation object 504 is further displayed according to the determined display transparency.

According to the embodiment of the application, the subordinate virtual operation object with the second transparency is displayed, wherein the second transparency and the target distance are in a negative correlation relationship, and the target distance is the linear distance between the subordinate virtual operation object and the first virtual operation object, so that the aim of reducing the influence degree when the friend unit blocks the sight is achieved, and the effect of improving the display flexibility of the virtual object is realized.

As an alternative, before displaying the subordinate virtual operation object of the second transparency, the method includes:

s1, acquiring a visual field range of a first virtual operation object;

s2, when the subordinate virtual operation object is located in the visual field range of the first virtual operation object, determining that the visual line of the first virtual operation object is blocked by the subordinate virtual operation object.

Alternatively, in this embodiment, the field of view of the first virtual operation object may be, but is not limited to, an entire or distributed display range included in the current perspective of the first virtual operation object, such as the target game screen 606 shown in fig. 6, that is, an entire or distributed display range included in the current perspective (such as the first person perspective) of the first virtual operation object 602, where the subordinate virtual operation object 604 is included, which indicates that the subordinate virtual operation object 604 is located in the field of view of the first virtual operation object 602.

Alternatively, in the present embodiment, the field of view of the first virtual operation object may also be, but not limited to, an area range preset for the first virtual operation object, as shown in fig. 7, a circle center 706 is determined in the direction of the current line of sight of the first virtual operation object 702, and the distance between the circle center 706 and the first virtual operation object 702 is a preset distance 704; the circle center 706 is taken as a circle center, the preset distance 704 is taken as a radius, and the drawn circle is the visual field range 708; in the event that the dependent virtual operation object 710 is within the field of view 708 of the first virtual operation object 702, it is determined that the line of sight of the first virtual operation object 702 is occluded by the dependent virtual operation object 710.

s1, obtaining a visual field ray of a first virtual operation object;

s2, when the subordinate virtual operation object is hit by the view ray, determining that the sight of the first virtual operation object is blocked by the subordinate virtual operation object.

The method includes the steps that a visual field ray of a first virtual operation object is acquired; in the case where the subordinate virtual operation object is hit by the view ray, it is determined that the line of sight of the first virtual operation object is blocked by the subordinate virtual operation object.

Further by way of example, as shown in FIG. 8, optionally, a field of view ray 804 of a first virtual operand 802 is acquired; in the event that the dependent virtual operation object 806 is hit by the view ray 804, it is determined that the line of sight of the first virtual operation object 802 is blocked by the dependent virtual operation object 804.

Further by way of example, continuing with the scenario shown in fig. 7, if, as shown in fig. 9, a black circle is used to represent a virtual operation object belonging to the same virtual operation object set (target virtual operation object set), and a white circle is used to represent a virtual operation object not belonging to the target virtual operation object set, then in a case where the third virtual operation object 902 is located outside the field of view 708, it is determined that the line of sight of the first virtual operation object 702 is not blocked by the third virtual operation object 902, and then the third virtual operation object 902 of the first transparency attribute is displayed, that is, the third virtual operation object 902 is displayed completely;

In the case where the second virtual operation object 904 (enemy unit) is located within the field of view 708, it is determined that the line of sight of the first virtual operation object 702 is blocked by the second virtual operation object 904, but since the second virtual operation object 904 and the first virtual operation object 702 do not belong to the same virtual operation object set, the second virtual operation object of the first transparency attribute is displayed, that is, the second virtual operation object 904 is displayed completely.

Further by way of example, continuing with the scenario shown in FIG. 4, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, a first virtual operation object 302 participating in a game task is displayed, and a subordinate virtual operation object 304 belonging to a virtual operation object set (dotted circle) with the first virtual operation object 302 is displayed, as shown in (a) in FIG. 10; further assuming that the line of sight of the first virtual operation object 302 is blocked by the dependent virtual operation object 304, the dependent virtual operation object 304 of the target transparency attribute (indicated by a broken line) is displayed, as shown in (b) in fig. 10; based on this, a virtual button "pass through" will be displayed in the game task, and this virtual button "pass through" is used to instruct the adjustment of the transparency attribute to the display transparency associated with the subordinate virtual operation object 304, as shown in (c) in fig. 10.

As an alternative, for ease of understanding, a shooting-type game application is described as an example:

it is assumed that in the shooting game application, teammates and summons are included which belong to the same camp (virtual operation object set) operation object (second virtual operation object), and further, when the teammates/summons are in a short distance in front of the eyes, they become in a semitransparent state, and as the distance is extended, the transparency thereof is lowered. And after a certain distance, it becomes completely normal opaque.

In addition, when an enemy is blocked by a teammate/summons, the blocked portion will appear as a red outline.

In this embodiment, the teammates and the summons need to be treated separately, and the teammates can stop bullets and the summons cannot. The reason is that teammates are free and the summons are self, so that the teammates can feel that the summons are of course but the summons are not; and teammates will not run substantially in front of themselves or around enemies but summons. Therefore, teammates have few harassment scenes; furthermore, teammates can block bullets and quickly kill enemies but do not summons. From this, it is clear that teammates can stop bullets and the summons will not be in view of improving the simulation rationality.

In addition, teammates can play the bullet, but the player needs to know the fact that the bullet is blocked clearly, so that adjustment is convenient, otherwise, the player is lost. Therefore, when the player stops the bullet, the player can be reminded of shielding the bullet by playing the corresponding sound with the corresponding special effect (only visible).

The calling object (comprising the self and teammates) does not need to stop bullets, but in order to promote the perception of the effect, the special effect that the corresponding bullets pass through is played on the calling object and the corresponding sound is played at the same time.

In addition, after the bullet passes through the summons, a button appears on the left side of the screen, and if the player clicks the button, the summons can be permanently semi-transparent. The button will last for 3 seconds and will automatically disappear after 3 seconds without pressing. If the player feels that the button is relatively disturbing to the experience, the player may turn off the display of the button in the configuration interface.

By way of further illustration, as shown in FIG. 11, a circle is drawn with the front of the object A1 (player himself) x meters away as the center and y meters as the radius, in which is the attenuation zone; a ray is emitted from the own sight toward the target, and if a teammate (containing own call) is in an attenuation zone (such as an object A2), the ray is in a semitransparent state, and the semitransparent attenuation coefficient is judged according to the distance. A ray is emitted from the own sight toward the target, and is left in a normal state if it is a teammate (containing own call) and is in a non-attenuation region (e.g., object A3). A ray is emitted from the own sight to the target, and if the ray is an enemy and no teammate on the road blocks the ray, the ray is in a normal state. A ray is emitted from a own sight toward the target, which is set to display the highest priority (shaded) if it is an enemy and there is a teammate blocking on the road.

In addition, the optional decision logic for bullet hit is shown in fig. 12, and the specific steps are as follows:

step S1202, bullet hit target;

step S1204, judging whether the call is a call, if yes, executing step S1206, if no, executing step S1208;

step S1206, judging whether the own party is a calling object, if so, executing step S1216, and if not, executing step S1212;

step S1208, determining whether the target object is a target object, if so, executing step S1210, and if not, executing step S1212;

step S1210, judging whether the user is a teammate, if yes, executing step S1214, and if not, executing step S1212;

step S1212, performing hit object/monster/enemy etc. Guan Liucheng;

step S1214, causing injury, bullet disappearing, playing special sound effect;

in step S1216, the bullet passes through and plays the corresponding sound special effect.

By the embodiment provided by the application, the occurrence of the condition that teammates block the sight is reduced; the occurrence of the condition that a calling object blocks the sight is reduced; when teammates block bullets, players can have obvious cognition and perform corresponding avoidance behaviors; the summons no longer blocks its own bullet and thus avoids the corresponding associated bad shooting experience.
