To enrich the way in which dependent virtual objects assist in the engagement of a first virtual object, fig. 2 shows a flow chart of a virtual object-based interaction method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The embodiment illustrates that the method is performed by the first client (or the first terminal 120) in the first terminal 120 shown in fig. 1. The method comprises the following steps:

step 220, displaying a view angle picture of a first virtual object, wherein the first virtual object is provided with a subordinate virtual object;

the first virtual object: the method is characterized in that the method refers to a virtual object controlled by a first client, the first client controls the first virtual object to move in a virtual environment in a game, and a control account of the first virtual object is logged on the first client.

Dependent virtual objects: refers to a virtual object owned by the first virtual object.

Illustratively, the subordinate virtual object may be a body, a virtual pet, a virtual robot, etc. of the first virtual object, and it should be noted that the present application does not limit the representation form of the subordinate virtual object, and may also represent the form of some virtual prop, such as a subordinate virtual object in the form of an "unmanned plane".

And displaying a view picture of the first virtual object on the first client, wherein the view picture is optionally a view observed by the camera model in the virtual environment at the first person view or the third person view.

Schematically, fig. 3 shows a view angle screen of a first virtual object viewed from a first person view angle, a plurality of skill controls are displayed on an interface of a first client, the first virtual object releases a subordinate virtual object in response to a user touching a release control 301 of the subordinate virtual object, and fig. 4 shows a view angle screen of the first virtual object also displaying a subordinate virtual object 401, wherein the subordinate virtual object 401 is in the form of a virtual cart.

In one embodiment, the release control 301 of the dependent virtual object is in the disabled state if the current score of the first virtual object does not reach the preset value, and otherwise is in the available state. Optionally, the score of the first virtual object is accumulated according to the performance of the first virtual object, for example, the score of the first virtual object is accumulated according to at least one of the number of defeating enemies, defeating enemies of different levels, the number of picked-up items, picking-up items of different levels, time passing through the level, and passing through the level of different difficulty of the first virtual object.

Step 240, controlling the slave virtual object to move in the virtual environment;

the first client controls movement of the slave virtual object in the virtual environment, optionally in a manner including at least one of walking, running, swimming, steering the vehicle, riding, and flying. Optionally, the type of movement of the dependent virtual object in the virtual environment towards the second virtual object is tracking or moving in a fixed trajectory.

In one embodiment, the dependent virtual object performs autonomous activities based on preset behavior logic. If so, the subordinate virtual object can autonomously attack the second virtual object according to the preset attack logic; the slave virtual object can automatically track the second virtual object according to the preset tracking logic; the slave virtual object may autonomously lock the second virtual object according to a predetermined locking logic. Schematically, selecting a second virtual object with the minimum blood volume in a preset range from the subordinate virtual objects to start attack; the subordinate virtual object tracks the second virtual object closest to the subordinate virtual object within a preset range.

In one embodiment, the dependent virtual object acts based on the user's control. If so, the user selects a second virtual object to be attacked, and controls the subordinate virtual object to attack the second virtual object; the user selects a second virtual object to be tracked, and the subordinate virtual object is controlled to track the second virtual object; and the user selects the second virtual object to be locked and controls the subordinate virtual object to lock the second virtual object.

Step 260, in response to the second virtual object being in the locking range of the slave virtual object, controlling the slave virtual object to lock the second virtual object;

the second virtual object: the control account number of the second virtual object in the non-imitation state is registered on the second client. Optionally, the second virtual object refers to a virtual object generated by the second client when the second client expands the game, and the second virtual object is controlled by the second client to perform activities in the virtual environment most of the time.

Locking: the second virtual object is forced to mimic the behavior of the first virtual object in case the second virtual object is locked by the dependent virtual object. Optionally, the dependent virtual object locks the second virtual object by sending a locking ray towards the second virtual object.

In response to the second virtual object being in the locked range of the dependent virtual object, the first client controls the dependent virtual object to lock the second virtual object. Alternatively, the locking range of the dependent virtual object refers to a locking range around the dependent virtual object determined based on a preset distance.

In step 280, if the slave virtual object successfully locks the second virtual object, a screen is displayed in which the second virtual object mimics the behavior of the first virtual object.

And the control account number of the second virtual object in the non-imitation state is different from the control account number of the first virtual object. Illustratively, a first account is registered on the first client, the first account is a control account of the first virtual object, a second account is registered on the second client, and the second account is a control account of the second virtual object in a non-emulated state.

In one embodiment, the first client determines that the slave virtual object successfully locks the second virtual object in response to the lock ray sent by the slave virtual object successfully hitting the second virtual object. In response to the dependent virtual object successfully locking the second virtual object, the first client displays a screen in which the second virtual object mimics the behavior of the first virtual object.

The first client displays a picture that the second virtual object mimics the behavior of the first virtual object, including at least one of:

displaying a picture that the second virtual object imitates an attack behavior of the first virtual object, optionally the attack behavior comprises at least one of firing, opening a mirror, stabbing, punching a fist and changing a prop;

displaying a screen on which the second virtual object imitates the prop-related behavior of the first virtual object, optionally, the prop-related behavior comprises at least one of using a prop, interrupting the use of the prop, picking up the prop, discarding the prop, and selling the prop;

displaying a screen on which the second virtual object mimics the physical behavior of the first virtual object, optionally, the physical behavior comprising at least one of rest, climbing, jumping, squatting, lying down, turning, advancing, and backing;

displaying a view frame of the second virtual object, the view frame of the second virtual object being obtained based on the second virtual object imitating a view capturing behavior of the first virtual object, optionally, the view capturing behavior includes at least one of zooming in the map control, marking a position (marking a position on the map control that is outside the view range of the first virtual object within the view range of the second virtual object), and rotating a view angle (dragging the screen left and right).

In summary, by displaying the picture that the second virtual object imitates the behavior of the first virtual object when the slave virtual object locks the second virtual object, not only is a way that the slave virtual object assists the first virtual object in fighting (interferes with the second virtual object) provided, but also the diversity of the opposite ways among the virtual objects is improved, and further the fighting strategies of the first virtual object and the second virtual object are enriched, for example, the first virtual object forces the second virtual object to imitate the behavior of the first virtual object in a four-sided dishonest shooting through the slave virtual object, so that the position of the second virtual object is exposed, and other virtual objects may get a group attack on the second virtual object after knowing the position of the second virtual object.

In the method, the second virtual object simulates the behavior of the first virtual object, including attack behavior, prop related behavior, body behavior and view acquisition behavior, so that various modes of assisting the first virtual object to fight are provided, and various negative influences are brought to the second virtual object on the battlefield.

Based on the alternative embodiment shown in fig. 2, the "displaying a screen on which the second virtual object simulates the behavior of the first virtual object" in step 260 may be replaced with any one of the following first possible simulation manner to the fifth possible simulation manner.

In one embodiment, in the event that the server determines that the dependent virtual object successfully locks the second virtual object, the server issues an instruction to shield the second user operation (which may be an instruction to set a control on the second client to fail) to the second client. And then:

optionally, in response to the first client receiving a first instruction for controlling the first virtual object to fire toward the first targeting object, the first client generates a second instruction for controlling the second virtual object to fire toward the first targeting object, the first client sends the second instruction to the server, the server forwards the second instruction to the second client, and the second client executes the second instruction. A screen is displayed on the first client on which the second virtual object fires toward the first targeting object.

In another possible embodiment, a second instruction is generated by the server to control the second virtual object to fire towards the first aimed object; in another possible implementation, a second instruction is generated by the second client to control the second virtual object to fire towards the first aimed object. The specific setting of the generation mode and the generation times of the second instruction can be determined according to the running states of the client and the server.

In one example, a screen is displayed on the first client on which both the first virtual object and the second virtual object fire toward the first targeting object because the distance between the second virtual object and the first virtual object is very close; or on the basis that the first client displays the picture of the first virtual object firing towards the first aiming object, a small window is arranged on the interface of the first client, and the small window displays the picture of the second virtual object firing towards the first aiming object; or on the basis that the first client displays the picture of the second virtual object firing towards the first aiming object, a small window is arranged on the interface of the first client, and the small window displays the picture of the first virtual object firing towards the first aiming object.

And displaying a picture that the second virtual object fires by adopting the first aiming angle on the first client.

In another possible embodiment, fourth instructions are generated by the server to control the second virtual object to fire at the first aiming angle; in another possible implementation, fourth instructions are generated by the second client to control the second virtual object to fire at the first aiming angle. The generation mode and the generation times of the fourth instruction are specifically set to be determined according to the running states of the client and the server.

In one example, a screen is displayed on the first client on which both the first virtual object and the second virtual object fire at a first aiming angle because the distance between the second virtual object and the first virtual object is very close; or on the basis that the first client displays a picture of the first virtual object fired at the first aiming angle, a small window is arranged on the interface of the first client, and the small window displays a picture of the second virtual object fired at the first aiming angle; or on the basis that the first client displays the picture of the second virtual object fired at the first aiming angle, a small window is arranged on the interface of the first client, and the small window displays the picture of the first virtual object fired at the first aiming angle.

Illustratively, referring to FIG. 5 in conjunction, FIG. 5(a) shows a screen on a first client displaying a first virtual object fired at a first aiming angle, and FIG. 5(b) shows a screen on a second client displaying a second virtual object simulating the first virtual object fired at the first aiming angle.

A third possible emulation mode: and displaying a picture of replacing the currently used prop with the first virtual prop by the second virtual object, wherein the first virtual prop is the same virtual prop held by the first virtual object and the second virtual object after the second virtual object imitates the first virtual object to replace the prop.

optionally, in response to the first client receiving a fifth instruction for controlling the first virtual object to replace the currently used property with the first virtual property, the first client generates a sixth instruction for controlling the second virtual object to also replace the currently used property with the first virtual property, the first client sends the sixth instruction to the server, the server forwards the sixth instruction to the second client, and the second client executes the sixth instruction. And displaying a picture that the second virtual object changes the currently used prop into the first virtual prop on the first client.

In another possible implementation, generating, by the server, a sixth instruction controlling the second virtual object to replace the currently used prop with the first virtual prop; in another possible embodiment, a sixth instruction is generated by the second client to control the second virtual object to replace the currently used prop with the first virtual prop. The specific setting of the generation mode and the generation times of the sixth instruction can be determined according to the running states of the client and the server.

In one example, a screen on the first client is displayed in which both the first virtual object and the second virtual object replace the item currently in use with the first virtual item, because the distance between the second virtual object and the first virtual object is very close; or on the basis that the first client displays the picture that the first virtual object changes the currently used prop into the first virtual prop, a small window is arranged on the interface of the first client, and the small window displays the picture that the second virtual object also changes the currently used prop into the first virtual prop; or on the basis that the first client displays the picture that the second virtual object changes the currently used prop into the first virtual prop, a small window is arranged on the interface of the first client, and the small window displays the picture that the first virtual object also changes the currently used prop into the first virtual prop.

Illustratively, the prop includes any one of a firearm, a dagger, a grenade, a smoke bomb and a fist, and when the sniper gun currently used by the first virtual object is replaced by the dagger, the grenade currently used by the second virtual object is also replaced by the dagger.

optionally, in response to receiving, by the first client, a seventh instruction for controlling the first virtual object to replace the currently used prop with the next-cis virtual prop, the first client generates an eighth instruction for controlling the second virtual object to also replace the currently used prop with the next-cis virtual prop, the first client sends the eighth instruction to the server, the server forwards the eighth instruction to the second client, and the second client executes the eighth instruction. The first client displays a screen in which the second virtual object changes the currently used item to a second virtual item (next-in-sequence virtual item).

In another possible implementation manner, generating, by the server, an eighth instruction for controlling the second virtual object to replace the currently used prop with the next cis-position virtual prop; in another possible embodiment, an eighth instruction is generated by the second client to control the second virtual object to replace the currently used prop with the next in-position virtual prop. The specific setting of the generation mode and the generation frequency of the eighth instruction may be determined according to the operating states of the client and the server.

In one example, a screen is displayed on the first client in which both the first virtual object and the second virtual object change the currently used prop to the next in-order virtual prop because the distance between the second virtual object and the first virtual object is very close; or on the basis that the first client displays the picture that the first virtual object changes the currently used prop into the next-in-position virtual prop, a small window is arranged on the interface of the first client, and the small window displays the picture that the second virtual object also changes the currently used prop into the next-in-position virtual prop; or on the basis that the first client displays the picture that the second virtual object changes the currently used prop into the next-in-position virtual prop, a small window is arranged on the interface of the first client, and the small window displays the picture that the first virtual object also changes the currently used prop into the next-in-position virtual prop.

Illustratively, the props comprise any one of firearms, daggers, grenades, smoke bombs and fists, and when the sniper gun currently used by the first virtual object is replaced by a dagger, the grenades currently used by the second virtual object are replaced by smoke bombs. Schematically, the switching sequence of the props is as follows: firearm → dagger → grenade → smoke bomb → fist → firearm.

A first view screen showing the positions of all virtual objects belonging to a business having a second virtual object is displayed on a first client.

In another possible embodiment, generating, by the server, a tenth instruction to control behavior of the second virtual object zoom-in map control; in another possible implementation, tenth instructions are generated by the second client to control behavior of the second virtual object zoom-in map control. The specific setting of the generation mode and the generation frequency of the tenth instruction may be determined according to the operating states of the client and the server.

in one embodiment, in response to the first virtual object releasing the dependent virtual object through the skill control, the dependent virtual object is born near the first virtual object, and thereafter the dependent virtual object moves in the virtual environment toward the second virtual object according to the preset movement logic. Optionally, the step of moving the dependent virtual object in the virtual environment towards the second virtual object is as follows:

s1, determining a second virtual object closest to the slave virtual object within the first preset distance;

s2, controlling the slave virtual object to track a second virtual object at a first speed, wherein the second virtual object has a second speed, and the first speed is greater than the second speed;

s3, when the second virtual object dies during the movement of the dependent virtual object toward the second virtual object, the step S1 is executed again until the dependent virtual object tracks to the second virtual object (the second virtual object falls within the locking range of the dependent virtual object).

Schematically, fig. 7 shows a schematic diagram of a process of determining a second virtual object by the dependent virtual object, wherein the dependent virtual object 401 determines a virtual object at a distance L1 from the dependent virtual object 401 as the second virtual object based on L1 being smaller than L2 in the first preset range.

Schematically, fig. 8 shows a schematic diagram of a certain screen in the process of tracking the second virtual object by the slave virtual object. The dependent virtual object 401 tracks the second virtual object 801.

Step 661, in response to that the distance between the dependent virtual object and the second virtual object is not greater than the second preset distance, determining that the second virtual object is in the lock range of the dependent virtual object;

in response to the distance between the dependent virtual object and the second virtual object not being greater than the second preset distance, the first client determines that the second virtual object is in a locked range of the dependent virtual object.

Step 662, controlling the slave virtual object to intermittently emit locking rays towards the second virtual object;

in the event that the dependent virtual object determines that the second virtual object is in a locked range of the dependent virtual object, the first client controls the dependent virtual object to intermittently emit a locking ray toward the second virtual object. Optionally, the locked rays exhibit at least one of a lightning effectiveness, a flame effectiveness, and a blue energy column effectiveness.

In one embodiment, the dependent virtual object transmits the locking ray every 2 seconds, and if the second virtual object successfully avoids or defends the locking ray, the dependent virtual object transmits the locking ray again until the locking ray hits the second virtual object.

Step 663, in case the locking ray hits the second virtual object, determining that the dependent virtual object successfully locks the second virtual object;

in the event that the locking ray hits the second virtual object, the first client determines that the dependent virtual object successfully locks the second virtual object.

Schematically, fig. 9 shows that the dependent virtual object 401 emits a locked ray 901 hitting the second virtual object 801, the locked ray 901 exhibiting a lightning special effect.

In step 680, when the slave virtual object successfully locks the second virtual object, a puppet mark is added to the second virtual object, and a picture that the second virtual object mimics the behavior of the first virtual object is displayed.

The control account of the second virtual object in the non-emulation state is different from the control account of the first virtual object, and the puppet mark indicates that the second virtual object is in an emulation state that emulates the behavior of the first virtual object.

In one embodiment, the puppet impression is visible to at least one of the first client, the second client and the other clients controlling other virtual objects. For example, the puppet impression is only visible at the first client for prompting the first user controlling the first client that the second virtual object is in the impersonation state. The puppet mark is invisible at the second client and other clients, and is used to hide the second virtual object from being emulated, which has an unintended effect when the second virtual object starts to emulate the behavior of the first virtual object.

In one embodiment, the slave virtual object carries a simulation time interval, and the first client displays a picture that the second virtual object simulates the behavior of the first virtual object when the slave virtual object successfully locks the second virtual object and the current time falls into the simulation time interval.

Illustratively, the subordinate virtual object carries a simulation time interval of 5-10s, indicating that the second virtual object can simulate the behavior of the first virtual object within the time range of 5-10s after the subordinate virtual pair line successfully locks the second virtual object. For example, the second user controlling the second client does not know that the second virtual object is locked, controls the second virtual object to move to the vicinity of other virtual objects in the same team within 5s after the second virtual object is locked, and then loses the control authority of the second virtual object, so that the second virtual object imitates the firing behavior of the first virtual object and causes damage to teammates in the same team.

In conclusion, the subordinate virtual object is arranged to track the second virtual object and emit the locking ray towards the second virtual object, so that the subordinate virtual object can assist the first virtual object to fight based on the preset behavior logic, the operation difficulty of a player is greatly simplified, and the human-computer interaction efficiency is improved.

The method also sets a puppet mark and a simulation time interval mode, enriches the implementation modes of the scheme, and makes the scheme more reasonable and interesting.

The following will expand the discussion of the embodiment in which the virtual object based interaction method is applied to the second client (or the second terminal 160) within the second terminal 160 shown in fig. 1.

For enriching the manner of the subordinate virtual object assisting the first virtual object to fight, fig. 10 shows a flowchart of a virtual object-based interaction method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application, which is exemplified by applying the method to the second client shown in fig. 1, and the method includes:

step 1020, displaying a view angle picture of the second virtual object;

and displaying a view-angle picture of the second virtual object on the second client, wherein the view-angle picture is optionally a picture observed by the camera model in the virtual environment at the first person view angle or the third person view angle.

Step 1040, in the case that the second virtual object is locked by the subordinate virtual object of the first virtual object, the control authority of the second virtual object is lost;

In one embodiment, the dependent virtual object moves within the virtual environment, and the first virtual object locks the second virtual object in response to the second virtual object being in a locked range of the dependent virtual object. In case the second virtual object is locked by the dependent virtual object, the second client loses the control right of the second virtual object. Illustratively, the loss of the control authority of the second virtual object by the second client is represented by the failure of a control used for controlling the second virtual object on the interface; or the control used for controlling the second virtual object on the interface is invalid, and the warning special effect is displayed on the interface.

Optionally, the dependent virtual object moves in the virtual environment, please refer to step 640 above for details.

Optionally, the dependent virtual object locks the second virtual object in the virtual environment, please refer to step 661, step 662, and step 663 above for details.

Optionally, after the slave virtual object successfully locks the second virtual object, a puppet mark is further added to the second virtual object, please refer to step 680 above.

Optionally, the time when the second virtual object imitates the behavior of the first virtual object needs to satisfy the imitation time interval, please refer to step 680 above for details.

Step 1060, a screen is displayed in which the second virtual object mimics the behavior of the first virtual object.

The second client displays a screen on which the second virtual object mimics the behavior of the first virtual object, including at least one of:

In an embodiment, the "display displaying the second virtual object to simulate the behavior of the first virtual object" may be replaced with any one of the first possible simulation manner to the fifth possible simulation manner, which is not described herein again.

Illustratively, referring to FIG. 5 in conjunction, FIG. 5(b) shows a screen on the second client displaying a second virtual object that mimics firing of the first virtual object at the first aiming angle, and FIG. 5(a) shows a screen on the first client displaying firing of the first virtual object at the first aiming angle.

In summary, by displaying the picture that the second virtual object imitates the behavior of the first virtual object when the second virtual object is locked by the slave virtual object, not only is a way that the slave virtual object assists the first virtual object in fighting (interferes with the second virtual object) provided, but also the diversity of the fighting ways among the virtual objects is improved, and further the fighting strategies of the first virtual object and the second virtual object are enriched, for example, the first virtual object forces the second virtual object to imitate the behavior of the first virtual object in a four-sided indiscriminate shooting through the slave virtual object, so that the position of the second virtual object is exposed, and other virtual objects can get a chance to attack the second virtual object after knowing the position of the second virtual object.

1103, the skill to release the mechanical unit is activated;

in one embodiment, the skill to release the mechanical unit is activated and is not available, and the unactivated skill cannot be used. Optionally, the skill is activated by hitting and killing enemies and then obtaining scores, and when the scores are accumulated to reach a preset value, the skill is activated. If the skill to release the mechanical unit has been activated, go to step 1104; if not, judging whether the skill of the mechanical unit is activated again.

Step 1106, the first virtual object calls a mechanical unit, and the mechanical unit automatically tracks the second virtual object;

the first virtual object invokes a mechanical unit that automatically tracks the second virtual object. After the first virtual object releases a mechanical unit (the birth position of the default mechanical unit is near the first virtual object), the mechanical unit tracks the second virtual object in the full map, and the tracking principle is that a nearest enemy (the second virtual object) is determined on the principle of near, and then the enemy moves towards the second virtual object all the time.

Step 1107, locking the second virtual object by mechanical unit;

when the mechanical unit has traced to the second virtual object, the mechanical unit starts to lock the second virtual object. Alternatively, the mechanical unit locks the second virtual object in such a way that the second virtual object is electrically shocked. Judging whether the mechanical unit locks the second virtual object, if yes, executing step 1108; if not, whether the mechanical unit locks the second virtual object is judged again.

Step 1108, the second virtual object is locked;

and displaying an interface on the first client, wherein the second virtual object is locked.

Step 1109, the first virtual object executes the behavior;

judging whether the first virtual object executes the behavior, if so, executing step 1110; if not, whether the first virtual object executes the behavior is judged again.

Step 1110, displaying a screen on which the second virtual object executes the same behavior;

the first client displays a picture that the second virtual object performs the same action.

Step 1111, the action time has ended;

it is determined whether the action time has ended. If yes, go to step 1112; if not, whether the execution behavior time is finished is judged again.

Step 1112, the second virtual object returns to normal;

and the first client displays a picture that the second virtual object is recovered to be normal.

And step 1113, ending.

The first client ends execution of logic that displays, based on the mechanical units, a behavior of the second virtual object that mimics the first virtual object.
