Specifically, the rendering module 5551 may render the virtual scene data by invoking the rendering component in the game engine shown in fig. 3, and then render the picture of the virtual scene, and in the picture of the virtual scene, present the virtual shooting prop held by the virtual object and the sight pattern corresponding to the virtual shooting prop.

The control module 5552 may determine, by invoking the underlying algorithm portion in the game engine shown in fig. 3, that when the motion state of the virtual object in the virtual scene changes, the state of the virtual shooting prop is controlled to change synchronously, and in the process of changing the state of the virtual shooting prop, the object aimed by the virtual shooting prop is controlled to be consistent with the object corresponding to the position of the sight pattern.

Based on the above description of the control system and the electronic device for the virtual prop provided in the embodiments of the present application, the control method for the virtual prop provided in the embodiments of the present application is described below. In some embodiments, the method for controlling a virtual prop provided in the embodiments of the present application may be implemented by a server or a terminal alone or in conjunction with the server and the terminal, and the method for controlling a virtual prop provided in the embodiments of the present application is described below by taking the terminal implementation as an example. Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a flow chart of a method for controlling a virtual prop provided in an embodiment of the present application, where the method for controlling a virtual prop provided in the embodiment of the present application includes:

step 101: and the terminal presents the virtual shooting prop held by the virtual object and the sight pattern corresponding to the virtual shooting prop in the picture of the virtual scene.

When a user opens an application client on the terminal and the terminal runs the application client, the terminal presents a picture of a virtual scene (such as a shooting game scene), wherein the picture of the virtual scene is obtained by observing the virtual scene from a visual angle of a virtual object, and the virtual object is a virtual object in the virtual scene corresponding to the current user account. In the virtual scene, a user may control a virtual object to perform an action through a picture of the virtual scene. Here, the virtual object may hold a virtual shooting prop, which may be any prop used when the virtual object interacts with other virtual objects, for example, a virtual gun, a virtual bow, or the like.

In practical applications, the virtual object may possess at least one virtual shooting prop, and the user may control the virtual object to select the virtual shooting prop from the at least one virtual prop, so as to implement holding or assembling of the virtual shooting prop, so that the virtual shooting prop held by the virtual object and the sight pattern of the virtual shooting prop are presented in the picture of the virtual scene. The aiming direction of the sight pattern is the shooting direction of a virtual camera (corresponding to eyes of a user, shooting the virtual scene to obtain a scene picture, and displaying all or part of the scene picture on an object interaction interface) of the virtual scene, so that the user can be assisted in aiming operation of shooting targets through virtual shooting props.

In some embodiments, in the picture of the virtual scene, the terminal may present the virtual shooting prop held by the virtual object and the sight pattern corresponding to the virtual shooting prop in the following manner: in a picture of a virtual scene, presenting a prop control comprising at least one candidate virtual prop, the at least one candidate virtual prop comprising a virtual shooting prop; and responding to the selection operation of the prop control for the virtual shooting prop, controlling the virtual object to assemble the virtual shooting prop, and presenting the virtual shooting prop held by the virtual object and the sight pattern corresponding to the virtual shooting prop.

Here, before or during presentation of the virtual scene by the terminal, the terminal may present a property control for at least one virtual property selected by the user, the at least one candidate virtual property comprising a virtual shooting property. In practical application, the prop control is an icon corresponding to a virtual prop which can be used in the virtual scene. When a user triggers a selection operation of a property control for the presented virtual shooting property, the terminal receives and responds to the selection operation, controls the virtual object to assemble the virtual shooting property, and presents the virtual shooting property held by the virtual object and a sight pattern corresponding to the virtual shooting property.

In practical applications, when a user triggers a selection operation of a prop control for a virtual shooting prop, the prop control of the selected virtual shooting prop may be displayed in a target display style so that the display style of the prop control of the selected virtual shooting prop is different from the display style of the prop control of the unselected virtual prop, for example, the prop control of the selected virtual shooting prop is highlighted, and the prop controls of other unselected virtual props are not highlighted.

For example, referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic representation of a virtual shooting prop held by a virtual object and a corresponding sight pattern according to an embodiment of the present application. Here, as shown in a diagram in fig. 5 a, the terminal presents prop controls 51-54 of 4 virtual props in a picture of the virtual scene; as shown in fig. 5B, when a selection operation of the property control 52 for a virtual shooting property is received, the virtual object is controlled to hold the virtual shooting property, and the virtual shooting property held by the virtual object and the sight pattern corresponding to the virtual shooting property are presented. While the prop control 52 of the selected virtual shooting prop is presented by highlighting.

Step 102: when the motion state of the virtual object in the virtual scene changes, the state of the virtual shooting prop is controlled to synchronously change, and in the process of changing the state of the virtual shooting prop, the object aimed by the virtual shooting prop is controlled to be consistent with the object corresponding to the position of the sight pattern.

Here, after the terminal displays the virtual shooting prop held by the virtual object and the sight pattern corresponding to the virtual shooting prop in the picture of the virtual scene, the user can control the motion state of the virtual object to realize the operations of controlling the virtual shooting prop to select and interact shooting targets based on the sight pattern. In practical applications, the motion state of the virtual object in the virtual scene may include at least one of a stationary state, a moving state (such as walking, running, etc.), a jumping state, and a steering state. The user can trigger a motion state change instruction, such as a steering instruction, a jump instruction, a movement instruction and the like, for the virtual object through a trigger operation for the man-machine interaction interface. In practical applications, the motion state change instruction may be triggered by a function item such as an operation button or an operation key in the man-machine interaction interface, for example, a jump function item may be used for a user to trigger a jump instruction for a virtual object.

When the terminal receives a motion state change instruction aiming at the virtual object, the motion state of the virtual object is controlled to change in response to the motion state change instruction, for example, when the current motion state of the virtual object is in a static state, if a jump instruction is received, the virtual object is controlled to execute jump in response to the jump instruction, so that the virtual object is switched from the static state to the jump state.

When the motion state of the virtual object in the virtual scene changes, the state of the virtual shooting prop is controlled to synchronously change because the virtual object holds the virtual shooting prop. Here, synchronization is only temporal synchronization, i.e., the state of the control virtual shooting prop changes while the state of the motion of the control virtual object changes. The state of the virtual shooting prop may also be understood as a motion state of the virtual shooting prop including at least one of a stationary state, a moving state (e.g., walking, running, etc.), a jumping state, and a steering state.

In the embodiment of the application, the terminal also controls the object aimed by the virtual shooting prop to be consistent with the object corresponding to the position of the sight pattern in the process of changing the state of the virtual shooting prop. Therefore, in the state change process of the virtual object and the virtual shooting prop, the position indicated by the direction of the virtual shooting prop and the position of the sight pattern can be kept consistent, the condition that the sight position is inconsistent with the shooting port pointing position of the virtual shooting prop in vision is avoided, the simulation degree of the virtual scene is improved, and the experience of a user in the virtual scene is improved.

As an example, referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic view showing a sight pattern during a state change of a virtual shooting prop according to an embodiment of the present application. Here, the object aimed by the virtual shooting prop is M, and the object corresponding to the position of the sight pattern is also M, so that the effect of controlling the object aimed by the virtual shooting prop to be consistent with the object corresponding to the position of the sight pattern is achieved.

In some embodiments, the terminal may control the motion state of the virtual object to change by: when the motion state of the virtual object in the virtual scene is a non-steering state, a steering instruction aiming at the virtual object is received; in response to the steering instruction, the virtual object is controlled to perform a steering operation in a direction indicated by the steering instruction, so that a motion state of the virtual object in the virtual scene is switched from a non-steering state to a steering state.

Here, when the motion state of the virtual object in the virtual scene is a non-steering state, the user may control the virtual object to steer. Specifically, the user may trigger a steering instruction for the virtual object, for example, may be triggered by operating a function control, operating a function item, or may also be triggered by sliding a man-machine interaction interface. After the terminal receives the steering instruction, the terminal responds to the steering instruction and controls the virtual object to execute steering operation along the direction indicated by the steering instruction, so that the motion state of the virtual object in the virtual scene is switched from a non-steering state to a steering state. For example, if the direction indicated by the steering instruction is the left direction, the virtual object is controlled to perform the steering operation in the left direction.

In the process of executing the steering operation by the virtual object, the virtual shooting prop can be controlled to synchronously steer according to the rotation direction and the rotation angular velocity of the virtual object, so that the state of the virtual shooting prop and the motion state of the virtual object can be synchronously changed.

In some embodiments, when the motion state of the virtual object in the virtual scene changes, the terminal may control the state synchronization of the virtual shooting prop to change by: obtaining a deflection coordinate corresponding to the direction indicated by the steering instruction, and obtaining a basic deflection picture corresponding to the deflection coordinate; determining prop deflection pictures of the virtual shooting props after the steering operation is completed based on the deflection coordinates and the basic deflection pictures; based on the prop deflection animation, the state of the virtual shooting prop is controlled to synchronously change.

Here, after the control virtual object performs the steering operation in the direction indicated by the steering instruction, the motion state of the virtual object in the virtual scene is switched from the non-steering state to the steering state. At this time, the state of the virtual shooting prop needs to be controlled to be synchronously changed. Firstly, obtaining a deflection coordinate corresponding to a direction indicated by a steering instruction, wherein the steering instruction can be triggered by a sliding operation in a man-machine interaction interface in actual implementation, and obtaining displacement coordinates corresponding to the sliding operation, namely, a coordinate of an initial position when the sliding operation is triggered and a coordinate of an end position when the sliding operation is ended, determining the displacement coordinates corresponding to the sliding operation through the coordinate of the initial position and the coordinate of the end position, and carrying out normalization processing on the displacement coordinates to obtain the deflection coordinate corresponding to the direction indicated by the steering instruction.

Meanwhile, a basic yaw animation corresponding to the yaw coordinates is acquired, which may be preset, for example, limit yaw pictures of "up, down, left, right, left up, left down, right up, and right down" may be preset as the basic yaw pictures, and coordinate sections corresponding to [0,1], [1,0], [1, -1], [0, -1], [ -1,0], and [ -1,1] are respectively set. For example, when the yaw coordinates represent that the virtual shooting prop is yaw left, an animation that is yaw to the left limit may be obtained as a base yaw animation corresponding to the yaw coordinates.

And then, determining the prop deflection picture of the virtual shooting prop after the steering operation is finished based on the deflection coordinates and the basic deflection picture, wherein the prop deflection animation is the state of the virtual shooting prop after the steering operation is finished. Therefore, based on the prop deflection animation, the state of the virtual shooting prop is controlled to synchronously change.

In some embodiments, based on prop yaw animation, the terminal may control the state synchronization of the virtual shooting prop to change by: acquiring an initial animation of the virtual shooting prop before the virtual object executes steering operation; determining the displacement length of a shooting port of the virtual shooting prop in the process of executing steering operation by the virtual object based on the prop deflection animation and the initial animation; when the displacement length does not exceed the length threshold, controlling the state of the virtual shooting prop to change according to the state indicated by the prop deflection animation; when the displacement length exceeds the length threshold, a target rotation angle in the target deflection range is obtained, and the virtual shooting prop is controlled to rotate according to the target rotation angle, so that the state of the virtual shooting prop and the motion state of the virtual object are synchronously changed.

Here, based on the prop deflection drawing, the terminal can control the state synchronization of the virtual shooting prop to change by the following manner: firstly, obtaining an initial animation of a virtual shooting prop before a virtual object executes steering operation; the displacement length of the firing port (such as muzzle) of the virtual firing prop in the process of performing the steering operation by the virtual object is then determined based on the prop deflection animation and the initial animation. In practical application, the target deflection range of the virtual shooting prop is preset, so that whether the displacement length exceeds the length threshold corresponding to the target deflection range needs to be judged. When the displacement length does not exceed the length threshold, the prop deflection animation is characterized to enable the virtual shooting prop to be in a preset target deflection range, and the state of the virtual shooting prop is controlled to change according to the state indicated by the prop deflection animation.

When the displacement length exceeds the length threshold, the prop deflection animation is characterized to enable the virtual shooting prop to exceed the preset target deflection range. At this time, a target rotation angle in the target deflection range is obtained, and the virtual shooting prop is controlled to rotate according to the target rotation angle, so that the state of the virtual shooting prop and the motion state of the virtual object are synchronously changed.

In some embodiments, the terminal may obtain the target rotation angle in the target yaw range by: determining a route through which a shooting port of the virtual shooting prop passes in the process of executing steering operation by the virtual object, and determining an initial position which is away from the shooting port as a target position of a length threshold value on the route; and determining the rotation angle corresponding to the rotation of the shooting port from the initial position to the target position as the target rotation angle.

The terminal firstly determines a route which is passed by a shooting port of the virtual shooting prop in the process of executing steering operation by the virtual object, and then determines an initial position which is away from the shooting port as a target position of a length threshold value on the route; and then taking the holding point of the virtual object holding the virtual shooting prop as a rotation axis point, thereby determining the rotation angle corresponding to the rotation of the shooting port from the initial position to the target position according to the rotation axis point, and determining the rotation angle as the target rotation angle.

As an example, referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a schematic rotation diagram of a virtual shooting prop provided in an embodiment of the present application. Here, as shown in a diagram in fig. 7, a stable point P1 for indicating a shooting port of a virtual shooting prop is selected, and a grip point P0 of the virtual object holding the virtual shooting prop is selected as a rotation axis point, while a length threshold value of a target yaw range is d; as shown in fig. 7B, the actual yaw (i.e., the prop yaw animation) is from P1 to Pt, and the displacement length of P1 to Pt exceeds the length threshold d, at this time, P0 is used as the center of a circle, d is used as the radius to make a circle (i.e., the boundary line of the target yaw range), the intersection point Pt 'between the made circle and the route through which the shooting port of the virtual shooting prop passes is located, i.e., the target position which is the length threshold from the initial position of the shooting port, at this time, the rotation angle θ corresponding to the rotation of the shooting port from the initial position P1 to the target position Pt' is the target rotation angle with P0 as the rotation axis point.

In some embodiments, when the motion state of the virtual object after the change is the steering state or the jump state, after the state of the virtual shooting prop is controlled to be changed synchronously, the terminal may present the process of deflection rebound of the virtual shooting prop in the following manner: presenting an inertial movement process of the virtual shooting prop, which is caused by inertia and is adapted to a steering state or a jumping state; in the inertial movement process, the virtual shooting prop is controlled to rebound from a changed state to a stable state, and the stable state enables the object aimed by the virtual shooting prop to be consistent with the object corresponding to the position of the sight pattern.

Here, when the motion state of the virtual object after the change is the steering state or the jump state, after the state of the virtual shooting prop is controlled to be changed synchronously, in practical application, the virtual shooting prop may cause the standard animation to generate deflection when the virtual shooting prop is in a corresponding stable state due to inertia, and at the moment, the terminal can present the process of inertial rebound of the virtual shooting prop so as to simulate the deflection rebound process caused by real inertia.

In order to improve the simulation degree of the virtual scene, the process of deflection rebound of the virtual shooting prop can be presented in the following manner: and the inertial movement process of the virtual shooting prop, which is caused by inertia and is matched with the steering state or the jumping state, is presented, and in the inertial movement process, the virtual shooting prop is controlled to rebound from the changed state to the stable state, so that the object aimed by the virtual shooting prop is consistent with the object corresponding to the position of the sight pattern, and the inertial rebound process of the virtual shooting prop is simulated.

In some embodiments, the terminal may present the inertial motion process of the virtual shooting prop due to inertia, adapted to the steering state or jump state, by: acquiring an actual animation of the virtual shooting prop after the state change and a standard animation of the virtual shooting prop in a stable state; when the virtual shooting prop is determined to be in a deflection state based on the actual animation and the standard animation, acquiring a corresponding inertial animation; and combining the actual animation, the standard animation and the inertia animation to present the inertia motion process of the virtual shooting prop, which is caused by inertia and is matched with the steering state or the jumping state.

When the terminal presents the inertial motion process of the virtual shooting prop, which is caused by inertia and is matched with the steering state or the jumping state, the terminal can acquire the actual animation after the state change of the virtual shooting prop, namely, the actual animation at the time point after the state change is finished, and acquire the standard animation of the virtual shooting prop in a stable state, wherein the standard animation can be preset, namely, the animation of the virtual shooting prop in the standard posture of the virtual object holding the virtual shooting prop. And then, based on the actual animation and the standard animation, determining whether the virtual shooting prop is in a deflection state, specifically, when the actual animation is consistent with the standard animation, determining that the virtual shooting prop is not in the deflection state, and when the actual animation is inconsistent with the standard animation, determining that the virtual shooting prop is in the deflection state. When the virtual shooting prop is determined to be in the deflection state, the terminal can acquire corresponding inertial animation, so that the inertial motion process, which is caused by inertia and is matched with the steering state or the jumping state, of the virtual shooting prop is presented by combining the actual animation, the standard animation and the inertial animation.

In some embodiments, the terminal may combine the actual animation, the standard animation, and the inertial animation to present the inertial motion process of the virtual shooting prop due to inertia, which is adapted to the steering state or the jump state, in the following manner: acquiring an inertial rebound curve corresponding to the inertial animation; determining position coordinates corresponding to a target time point in the process of rebounding the virtual shooting prop from the actual animation to the standard animation based on the actual animation and the inertia rebounding curve; and displaying the inertial movement process of the virtual shooting prop from the state corresponding to the actual animation to the stable state corresponding to the standard animation based on the position coordinates corresponding to the target time point.

Here, the inertial animation is provided with a corresponding inertial rebound curve, which may be preset for the virtual shooting prop, for describing a relationship between position coordinates and time that the virtual shooting prop passes during rebound in an inertial rebound period. After the inertial rebound curve corresponding to the inertial animation is obtained, determining the position coordinates corresponding to the target time points in the process of rebounding the virtual shooting prop from the actual animation to the standard animation based on the actual animation and the inertial rebound curve, describing the actual animation in a coordinate mode when the virtual shooting prop is actually implemented, multiplying the coordinates corresponding to the actual animation by the inertial rebound curve, and taking the multiplied result as the position coordinates corresponding to each target time point in the process of rebounding the virtual shooting prop from the actual animation to the standard animation. Based on the position coordinates corresponding to the target time points, the inertial movement process of the virtual shooting prop from the state corresponding to the actual animation to the stable state corresponding to the standard animation is displayed, namely, the virtual shooting prop is controlled to sequentially pass through the position coordinates corresponding to each target time point, so that the aim of displaying the inertial movement process of the virtual shooting prop from the state corresponding to the actual animation to the stable state corresponding to the standard animation is fulfilled.

In some embodiments, during the state change of the virtual shooting prop, the terminal may control the object aimed by the virtual shooting prop to coincide with the object corresponding to the position of the sight pattern in the following manner: determining a three-dimensional moving space corresponding to a shooting port of the virtual shooting prop; in the process of changing the state of the virtual shooting prop, the deviation of the shooting port relative to the current state is controlled to be in a three-dimensional moving space so as to control the object aimed by the virtual shooting prop to be consistent with the object corresponding to the position of the sight pattern.

In some embodiments, the terminal may determine the three-dimensional movement space corresponding to the firing port of the virtual firing prop by: acquiring position coordinates of a shooting port of the virtual shooting prop in a virtual scene and an offset radius corresponding to the virtual shooting prop; and determining the corresponding ball space as a three-dimensional moving space corresponding to the shooting port by taking the point indicated by the position coordinates as the center of the ball and the offset radius as the radius of the ball.

Here, a corresponding three-dimensional movement space may be set in advance for a firing port (such as a muzzle) of the virtual firing prop. Specifically, a shooting port (namely, a muzzle) hanging point of the virtual shooting prop (namely, a point indicated by a position coordinate of the shooting port of the virtual shooting prop in a virtual scene) is taken as a sphere center, an offset radius corresponding to the virtual shooting prop is taken as a sphere radius, and a corresponding sphere space is determined to be a three-dimensional moving space of the virtual shooting prop. Therefore, in the state change process of the virtual shooting prop, the three-dimensional moving space corresponding to the shooting port of the virtual shooting prop can be determined, and then the deviation of the shooting port of the virtual shooting prop relative to the current state is controlled to be in the three-dimensional moving space, so that when the motion state of the virtual object is changed, the object aimed by the virtual shooting prop and the object corresponding to the position of the sight pattern are consistent, errors are reduced, and the animation consistency in the switching of different motion states is ensured.

In some embodiments, the virtual object holds a pose of the target portion of the virtual firing prop during a change in state of the virtual firing prop, transitioning from the first pose to the second pose; at this time, the terminal may control the switching of the gestures as follows: acquiring a first position of a holding point of the virtual shooting prop held by the virtual object before the state change of the virtual shooting prop, and acquiring a second position of the holding point corresponding to the virtual shooting prop after the state change of the virtual shooting prop; determining a bone rotation angle corresponding to the target part based on the first position and the second position; based on the bone rotation angle, the bone position and bone direction of the target portion are adjusted to control the posture of the target portion of the virtual object to be changed from the first posture to the second posture.

Here, during the state change of the virtual shooting prop, the posture of the target portion where the virtual object holds the virtual shooting prop may change, for example, change from the first posture to the second posture. At this time, in order to ensure that the displayed picture of the virtual object holding the virtual shooting prop is more simulated, the posture of the virtual object holding the virtual shooting prop can be adjusted.

In practical application, first, a first position of a holding point of a virtual shooting prop held by a virtual object before the state of the virtual shooting prop changes is obtained, and a second position of the holding point corresponding to the virtual shooting prop after the state of the virtual shooting prop changes is obtained. Then, based on the first position and the second position, determining skeleton rotation angles corresponding to target positions (such as arms) of the virtual shooting props held by the virtual objects before and after the state change of the virtual shooting props; thereby adjusting the bone position and bone direction of the target portion based on the bone rotation angle to control the posture of the target portion of the virtual object to be changed from the first posture to the second posture.

In some embodiments, the terminal may adjust the bone position and bone orientation of the target site based on the bone rotation angle by: determining a bone father node and a bone son node of the target part; based on the bone rotation angle, the positions of bone child nodes are adjusted, and the positions of bone father nodes are adjusted by adjusting the positions of the bone child nodes, so that the bone positions and the bone directions of the target parts are adjusted.

Here, the bone position and bone direction of the target site may be adjusted based on the bone rotation angle by means of inverse dynamics. In practical implementation, it is necessary to first determine a skeletal parent node and a skeletal child node of the target site, for example, the skeletal child node may correspond to a hand of a virtual object holding a virtual shooting prop, and the skeletal parent node may correspond to an arm portion of the virtual object. Then, based on the bone rotation angle, the positions of the bone child nodes are adjusted in a reverse dynamics mode, so that when the positions of the bone child nodes are adjusted, the positions of the bone father nodes can be adjusted by adjusting the positions of the bone child nodes, and the bone positions and the bone directions of the target parts are adjusted. Finally, the posture of the target part of the virtual object is controlled to be changed from the first posture to the second posture, so that the virtual object is controlled to hold the virtual shooting prop through the standard posture after the state change in the process of completing the state change of the virtual shooting prop.

In the above embodiment, the above-mentioned animation (such as the above-mentioned initial animation, actual animation, inertial animation, standard animation, basic yaw animation, prop yaw animation, etc.) may be described by coordinates. As an example, the basic yaw painting may be a preset "up, down, left, right, up left, down left, up right, and down right" 8 limit yaw animations, which may be described by corresponding coordinate intervals of [0,1], [1,0], [1, -1], [0, -1], [ -1,0] and [ -1,1], respectively.

An exemplary application of the embodiments of the present application in an actual application scenario will be described below taking a virtual scenario as an example of an electronic game scenario.

Next, first, terms related to embodiments of the present application will be explained, including:

1) First person shooter game (FPS): shooting games are played with a subjective view of the player so that the player no longer plays by manipulating virtual characters alone, but experiences the visual impact of the game on his own.

2) ADS: is an observation device usually made of metal. When the scope is not assembled, it can be used to position the object in a straight line, assisting the object in aiming at a specific target, where the angle of the camera is moved behind the weapon scope. This will make the virtual shooting prop more accurate and may provide a certain scaling to provide higher availability over a longer range. When assembling a scope, there is usually a scale or specially designed line of sight, mainly for magnifying the image of the target onto the retina so that the aiming becomes easier and more accurate. The magnification is proportional to the diameter of the objective, and a larger aperture of the objective can make the image clearer and brighter, which may cause a reduction in the field of view when the magnification is high.

3) Waist-shot: the virtual shooting device is characterized in that in a state of normally holding the virtual shooting prop, the shooting button is directly clicked to shoot without opening a mirror, the virtual shooting prop is held by waist or chest assistance, and the waist strength is used for shooting against recoil.

4) Quasi-star: a portion of the aiming device of the virtual firing prop is typically located at the upper end of the firing port (i.e., muzzle). When the sight pattern is moved onto the target, it is detected by the hit collision body of the target, and the bullet is automatically launched without requiring any other operation by the player.

5) FOV: i.e., field view, the field of view of a camera, in degrees, is the angular range over which a camera can receive images in a typical environment, and may also be commonly referred to as the field of view.

6) Breathing animation: the simulated player is in an animated state when holding the virtual shooting prop without any other action, and is slightly hand-swung in appearance.

7) Firing animation: the animation state that the player shoots by holding the virtual shooting prop is simulated, and at the moment, the shooting animation shakes due to the instant backward force generated when the virtual shooting prop shoots a bullet, so that the sight of the virtual shooting prop is influenced to generate offset.

8) Reverse kinetics (Inverse Kinematics, IK): the method is that the positions of bone child nodes are determined first, then the positions of n-level bone father nodes on the bone chain where the bone child nodes are located are deduced by inverse calculation, so that the whole bone chain is determined, and particularly the shape of the whole bone is inversely calculated according to the final positions and angles of certain bone child nodes.

In the related art, in an FPS game having various animation expressions and capable of changing different virtual shooting props (such as virtual firearms), corresponding animation expressions are generally played under different motion states (such as turning, moving or jumping) of a virtual object according to the different virtual shooting props held, and usually the animation expressions of the different virtual shooting props need different art animation resource support, and meanwhile, the animation expressions of the virtual shooting props are not distinguished under different motion states, such as turning animation, jumping animation and moving animation, and the animation expressions are not distinguished when the turning amplitude is different.

Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of a virtual shooting prop in the related art, as shown in fig. 8. Here, the figure A in FIG. 8 shows the idle animation pose of a normal gun; FIG. 8B is a diagram showing the idle animation position of the gun during jump, wherein the muzzle is biased upward relative to the sight; FIG. 8C is a diagram showing the idle animation position of the gun holding during rightward rotation, wherein the muzzle is biased to the right relative to the sight; fig. 8D shows the idle animation posture of the gun holding when the gun is rotated to the left, and the muzzle is biased to the left with respect to the sight.

Referring to fig. 9, fig. 9 is a schematic diagram of actual change of a virtual shooting prop when a motion state of a virtual object is changed according to an embodiment of the present application. Here, as shown in fig. 9 a and B, when the player turns the lens slowly or rapidly (i.e., controls the virtual object to turn), the virtual shooting prop turns synchronously, and the muzzle animation amplitude of the slowly turned lens appears smaller than that of the rapidly turned lens; as shown in fig. 9, panels C and D, the muzzle animation amplitude performance is smaller when the player moves than when the player jumps.

From the above, the animation amplitude can not be distinguished under the condition of different steering amplitudes of the virtual shooting prop: namely, when the player rotates the lens slowly, in order to simulate the inertia performance of the animation, the gun-holding animation can be slightly swung, when the rotation of the lens is stopped, the firearm can stop swinging and enter the normal breathing state animation, when the player rotates the lens rapidly, the steering speed of the lens becomes fast, the swinging animation of the firearm can not simulate the inertia change, the swinging animation is consistent with the animation performance of the lens which rotates slowly, and when the rotation of the lens is stopped, the firearm can stop swinging and enter the normal breathing state animation by the same principle, so that the influence of steering amplitude and speed on the animation is difficult to distinguish, and the problem that the animation performance and the lens steering are not matched to influence the simulated performance is caused. And when the player is in different motion states, such as moving, jumping and steering, the direction of the muzzle of the firearm can be changed along with the different states, at the moment, the problem of inaccurate pre-aiming position of the muzzle before firing is caused by inconsistent aiming position of the sight and muzzle, and in addition, firing animation can be played when firing, so that the problem of discontinuous engagement of firing animation before and after the motion state is changed is caused, and the problem of visual inconsistency and poor performance of the firing animation is caused.

When the virtual object holds different virtual shooting props, the muzzle performance during movement and jump needs to be independently customized with animation resources, when the virtual shooting props are changed in numerical value or new virtual shooting props are manufactured, the original animation resources cannot meet the requirements, the virtual shooting props are not matched with the animation, and the hit rate is influenced.

If a player uses different virtual shooting props, different animation expressions are required to be displayed according to the different virtual shooting props, corresponding art animation resources are required to be supported for the different virtual shooting props, and at the moment, animation resources in different states are required to be manufactured for each involved virtual shooting prop, so that the requirement on the yield of resource manufacturing becomes high, the dependence on the resource is large, and meanwhile, the adaptation and the modification are not easy.

Based on the above, the embodiment of the application provides a control method for virtual props. Referring to fig. 10, fig. 10 is a schematic diagram of a three-dimensional movement space of a virtual shooting prop provided in this embodiment of the present application, where a shooting port (i.e., a muzzle) hanging point of the virtual shooting prop is taken as a sphere center, an offset radius corresponding to the virtual shooting prop is taken as a sphere radius, and a spherical movement space corresponding to the virtual shooting prop is determined, so as to control the virtual shooting prop to move in the spherical movement space, thereby ensuring that when a motion state of a virtual object changes, an orientation of the shooting port of the virtual shooting prop is consistent with a pre-aiming position (i.e., a position corresponding to a sight pattern), reducing errors, and ensuring animation consistency when different motion states are switched.

Meanwhile, the turning radius of the shooting ports of different virtual shooting props and the turning axial points can be independently configured, so that the animation expression of different weapons is ensured, and animation resources are not required to be independently customized for each type of virtual shooting props, thereby improving productivity and expression. When the player controls the virtual shooting prop to turn, the performance of the turning animation is determined according to the turning amplitude and speed, wherein the performance comprises the turning inertia performance, namely the turning amplitude, the turning frequency and the round trip period accord with the inertia performance, and different virtual shooting props can be independently configured to simulate the physical inertia performance and do not depend on art resources, so that the simulation performance and the productivity can be ensured.

Therefore, under the switching of different motion states of the virtual object, the animation of the virtual shooting prop in the embodiment of the application is adapted to the animation expression of different virtual shooting props, and the problems of accurate directivity and animation simulation expression of the shooting port of the virtual shooting prop are solved.

In the embodiment of the application, different three-dimensional movement spaces can be set for different states for the shooting ports (i.e., muzzle) of the virtual shooting prop. When the player is in the waist shooting state, the three-dimensional moving space of the shooting port of the virtual shooting prop can be determined by taking the muzzle hanging point as the sphere center and the spherical radius as R1, and at the moment, the rotating radius of the muzzle is fixed when the player turns; when a player is in a jumping state, the three-dimensional movement space of the shooting mouth of the virtual shooting prop can be determined by taking the muzzle hanging point as the sphere center and the sphere radius as R2, and at the moment, the situation that the muzzle orientation is inaccurate due to overlarge steering in the radius of R1 or R2 can not occur due to control, and meanwhile, different firearms and different states can be independently configured.

In the embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 11, fig. 11 is a schematic diagram of a rotation axis point of a virtual shooting prop provided in the embodiment of the present application. Here, for the same firearm animation, the rotation amplitude of the whole firearm body can be controlled when the rotation axis point position of the firearm steering is changed. As shown in a graph a in fig. 11, when the rotation axis point is close to the muzzle, the muzzle rotation amplitude is smaller, and the butt part rotation amplitude is larger; as shown in the diagram B in fig. 11, when the rotation axis point is positioned at the center point of the gun, the rotation amplitude of the gun muzzle is increased, and the rotation amplitude of the gun stock is reduced.

In the embodiment of the application, when a player turns, i.e. rotates a lens, in order to match player input, the amplitude of the firearm animation swing becomes larger when the sliding amplitude and the speed are larger, and when the player input stops, i.e. turns to stop, in order to simulate the performance of the firearm animation, the inertial performance of the firearm animation is simulated according to the rotation speed and the amplitude. At this time, the animation inertia curve is taken over, and the amplitude and the speed of the swing gradually decay with time, see fig. 12, and fig. 12 is a schematic diagram of the virtual shooting prop swinging according to the inertia animation according to the embodiment of the present application. And simultaneously, the breathing animation state is returned after the configurable time, and the scheme does not need art resource support and supports independent adaptation of various types of virtual shooting props.

In practical application, the single adaptation of the same virtual shooting prop in different states, such as a jumping state and a moving state, can be supported; meanwhile, different virtual shooting props are supported to be arranged in a distinguishing mode, such as a sniper gun and an assault rifle, and at the moment, the whole performance is controlled through the set animation deflection range to replace the support of art animation resources.

Next, a method for controlling the virtual prop provided in the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail. Referring to fig. 13, fig. 13 is a flow chart of a method for controlling a virtual prop provided in an embodiment of the present application, including:

step 201: entering a game scene;

step 202: acquiring user input;

step 203: converting the user input into a normalized screen xy coordinate value as a deflection coordinate of the current input;

step 204: if the yaw coordinate is equal to 0, executing step 205, otherwise executing step 210;

step 205: judging whether the virtual shooting prop is in a deflection state currently, if so, executing step 206, and if not, keeping the breathing animation;

step 206: executing muzzle rebound logic (i.e., the above-described freewheeling animation) of the virtual shooting prop;

step 207: resetting the rebound curve time and recording the xy coordinate value of the current deflection state;

Step 208: reading a rebound curve (namely the inertia rebound curve), and calculating xy coordinates of each position passing through in the rebound process according to the deflection state of the rebound curve member;

step 209: setting a deflection animation until the rebound curve time is over;

step 210: executing starting deflection muzzle logic;

step 211: setting a deflection animation and correcting rotation.

In practical applications, the specific implementation process of the step 211 may be shown in the lower left corner step 211 of fig. 13, including:

step 301: taking out the corresponding action from the deflection swinging picture;

step 302: mixing corresponding actions according to screen xy coordinates;

step 303: setting a virtual shooting prop deflection;

step 304: calculating the displacement of the muzzle of the current virtual shooting prop and the muzzle of the initial virtual shooting prop;

step 305: whether the displacement is greater than the set distance d, if yes, go to step 306, if no, go to step 308;

step 306: taking a point Pt' with the distance d from the initial muzzle to the current position;

step 307: rotating the muzzle to point at point Pt';

here, pt' can be seen in fig. 7.

Step 308: rendering the skeletal data.

The following is a detailed description. First, in order to realize the swing of the virtual shooting prop when the virtual object is seen from left to right, an upper, lower, left, right, upper left, lower left, upper right, lower right limit swing single frame animation is provided for defining the rotation and the offset of the virtual shooting prop in 8 direction intervals (corresponding numerical intervals are [0,1], [1,0], [1, -1], [0, -1], [ -1,0], [ -1,1 ]) under the limit swing (alpha=1).

Secondly, when a player rotates the lens, the swing offset can be interpolated to a specified value in a specified two-dimensional direction to obtain an interpolated vector value alpha, wherein the vector value alpha is initially [0,0], the limit is [ -1, -1] to [1,1], and a single-frame animation of the swing given by an x axis and a y axis is superimposed on the virtual shooting prop according to the swing offset, and the superposition amplitude is alpha.

Thirdly, when the player stops rotating the lens, the alpha value starts EaseInOut fade-in fade-out, so that the deflection of the virtual shooting prop is recovered to be 0,0 along with time, and the starting EaseInOut is to rebound the muzzle through the inertia rebound curve so as to display the rebound process of the muzzle from the deflection state to the stable state through inertia motion animation. At this time, the virtual shooting prop is also pointed back to the basic direction (i.e. in a stable state), and the picture will show a rebound effect.

Fourth, referring to fig. 7, as shown in fig. 7 a, a stable point P1 for indicating a shooting port of a virtual shooting prop is selected, and a holding point P0 of the virtual object holding the virtual shooting prop is selected as a rotation axis point, and a length threshold value of a target yaw range is d; as shown in fig. 7B, the actual yaw (i.e., the prop yaw animation) is from P1 to Pt, and the displacement length of P1 to Pt exceeds the length threshold d, at this time, P0 is used as the center of a circle, d is used as the radius to make a circle (i.e., the boundary line of the target yaw range), the intersection point Pt 'between the made circle and the route through which the shooting port of the virtual shooting prop passes is located, i.e., the target position which is the length threshold from the initial position of the shooting port, at this time, the rotation angle θ corresponding to the rotation of the shooting port from the initial position P1 to the target position Pt' is the target rotation angle with P0 as the rotation axis point.

Fifth, during system activation, the muzzle point Pt calculated by the animation system and the deflection system is obtained, and then Pt' =p1+normal (Pt-P1) x d is taken when the distance between Pt and P1 during operation is greater than d. Their rotation θ is then calculated from the two vectors of P0' to Pt ', P0' to P1. And finally, superposing theta rotation on the holding point of the virtual shooting prop, so that the muzzle orientation of the virtual shooting prop can be stabilized within the range of the distance length d from the original position.

Sixth, eventually the player's hand needs to be fitted to the new virtual shooting prop rotation. Here the original position offset of the hand from the firearm and the original rotation are recorded. And then reversely deducing the position and rotation of the hand according to the position of the new virtual shooting prop, and deducing the elbow position through the upper arm, the hand position and the elbow polar vector by using an IK algorithm. The hand is again held in the correct manner on the virtual shooting support.

First, the above embodiments of the present application add animation coefficient support to the animation of virtual shooting props in different motion states, which affects the animation amplitude in different states, such as moving state, turning state, firing state, and jumping state. Secondly, on the premise of not changing animation resources, a set of animation resources are ensured to be adapted to shooting ports and gesture expressions of different virtual shooting props, wherein the shooting ports and gesture expressions are used for holding animations. Third, the problem of representing the inertia swing frequency and swing amplitude of different virtual shooting props under the condition that the animation resources of the virtual shooting props and the character animation resources are not changed is solved.
