optionally, the three-dimensional coordinate position of the first game character in the virtual scene may be a center position of a team air wall, a boundary position of a wall body on one side of the team air wall, and the like, the range of the team air wall is a range in which the second game character flies along with the first game character, the team air wall is connected to the first game character through a first position (the first position is a fixed position or a real-time position of the first game character in the team air wall) in the wall, the first game character is a driving point of the team air wall, the first game character drives the team air wall to fly in real time in the game scene, and simultaneously drives other game characters in the team air wall to fly, such as the second game character.

And S13, controlling the second game character to fly along the first game character in the virtual scene within the range of the air wall of the team.

Fig. 4 is a schematic view of the embodiment of the present invention following flight in a team air wall, wherein the team air wall is a spherical wall, and the first game character and the second game character follow flight in the spherical wall.

In some examples, after controlling the second game character to fly in the virtual scene following the first game character within a range of the air wall of the team, the method further comprises: detecting a movement instruction triggered by a second game role in an air wall of a team; responding to the moving instruction, and judging whether the second game role is separated from the range of the air wall of the team or not; and if the second game character leaves the range of the air wall of the team, sending a departure notification message to the first game client, wherein the departure notification message is used for indicating that the second game character stops flying in the team with the first game character.

Optionally, in the flight process of the team array or the whole team in the team air wall, the team members in the team can change the team shape or change the positions of the team members in the team, and by calculating the separation distance between the game characters or the distance between the game characters and the wall boundary of the team air wall in real time, when the separation distance meets the preset condition, it is determined that the second game character automatically leaves the team.

Based on the above example, determining whether the second game character is off the team air wall includes: calculating a separation distance between the second game character and the first game character; if the spacing distance between the second game role and the first game role is greater than the preset distance, determining that the second game role is separated from the team air wall; and/or monitoring whether collision operation occurs between the second game role and the team air wall; and if the collision operation occurs between the second game character and the team air wall, determining that the second game character is separated from the team air wall.

By this example, when a plurality of second game characters fly following the first game character, as long as the separation distance between any two second game characters is less than a certain distance, it is possible to determine the state in which the second game characters are still flying in a team.

In one implementation of this embodiment, forwarding the formation flight request to the second game client comprises: acquiring role attribute information of a first game role; determining a game play to which the first game role belongs and a role type of the first game role in the game play based on the role attribute information; and if the role type is the designated type, forwarding a formation flight request to a second game client corresponding to a second game role in the game formation.

Optionally, the designated type may be a role type such as a captain, a help leader, and the like, or a role type whose role level meets certain requirements. In some examples, the team flight request is triggered by a designated virtual item in a game scene, for example, a summoning button in a control skill area of a first game character is clicked to summon other team members to enter a high-altitude flight following state, and the other team members accept the team flight request to enter a flight following state to follow the first game character initiating summoning according to a certain team shape. Optionally, only the designated type of character in the team can initiate the summons, and after a second game character leaves the team, the team or captain flying by the whole team receives the prompt message.

Optionally, the multi-person flying vehicle may be a double-person flying vehicle, a triple-person flying vehicle or a flying vehicle rated to carry more game characters.

Optionally, after controlling the third game character and the first game character to ride on the target flying vehicle at the same time, the method further includes:

s25, acquiring the number of load-limiting members of the target flight carrier;

the number of load-limiting members is the number of game roles loaded by the target flight carrier in a rated mode, and can be read from the attribute information of the target flight carrier.

S26, judging whether the number of the current boarding members of the target flight carrier is larger than the number of the load limiting members;

and S27, if the number of the current boarding members of the target flight vehicle is larger than the number of the load limiting members, reducing the maximum flight speed of the target flight vehicle, and/or reducing the maximum flight height of the target flight vehicle, and/or freezing the designated function button of the target flight vehicle.

In this example, the target flying vehicle is taken as an aircraft for illustration, when the number of the loaded characters on the aircraft is larger, the flying speed is slower, the aircraft with the rated number of people can be overloaded, when the aircraft is overloaded, certain specific functions of the aircraft cannot be triggered, and the flying speed and the flying height are obviously reduced. Wherein reducing the maximum flying height of the target flying vehicle comprises: and acquiring the initial maximum flight height of the target flight carrier, calculating the overload capacity of the target flight carrier according to the current number of the boarding members and the number of the load limiting members, and calculating the target maximum flight height to be updated based on the overload capacity and the initial maximum flight height. For example, the initial maximum flying height is 100 (unit: meter), the number of load-limited members is 4, the number of currently-used boarding members is 6, the overload amount is calculated by the difference (6-4) or the ratio ((6-4)/4), and if the overload amount is 50% by calculation of the ratio, the target maximum flying height is calculated to be 100 × 50%, which is 50%. The example of calculating the maximum flight speed is similar to the above example, for example, multiple speeds are configured in the attribute information of the target flight vehicle, each speed corresponds to a range of the number of people currently picked up by one target flight vehicle, and is respectively the first speed, the second speed and the third speed, the number of picked up people is less than the number of load-limiting members, for example, 1 person flies according to the first speed, the number of picked up people is equal to the number of load-limiting members, 4 persons flies according to the second speed, the number of picked up people is greater than the number of load-limiting members, 5 persons flies according to the third speed, the first speed is greater than the second speed, and the second speed is greater than the third speed.

Optionally, after controlling the third game character and the first game character to jointly ride on the target flying vehicle, the method further includes: detecting a multi-person interaction request triggered by a first game client on a target flight carrier; and responding to the multi-player interaction request, and controlling the first game role and the third game role to execute interactive operation matched with each other on the target flight carrier.

The interactive operation of this embodiment can be, but is not limited to: embrace each other, jump simultaneously, first game role and third game role carry out first action and second action etc. of mutually supporting respectively. The interactive operation matched with each other can be completed or the special effect animation of the interactive operation can be played by simultaneously driving the skeleton models of the first game role and the third game role.

Optionally, the controlling the first game character and the third game character to perform the interactive operation on the target flying vehicle in cooperation with each other includes: acquiring a first gender attribute of the first game role and a second gender attribute of a third game role, and comparing the first gender attribute with the second gender attribute; and if the third game role and the first game role are the same-sex roles, controlling the first game role and the third game role to execute a second interactive operation matched with each other on the target flight carrier. In the scene of the same sex character, differential interaction operation can be further executed between two game characters with different sex attributes according to the sex attributes of the game characters.

When flying by two persons, the other roles can be invited to carry out the double-person flying state through the ride sharing button in the flying control area, and the double-person flying state can be carried out if the 'ride sharing invitation' button in the role control area is clicked. After the double-person flight state is entered, the double-person flight state can be released by clicking the ride sharing release button, the game role to which the aircraft belongs can be selected to release the double-person flight state, after the double-person flight state is released, two game roles on the aircraft can land at the same time, or one game role can be selected from the two game roles to land, if the owner of the aircraft is kept on the aircraft, if the game role of the ride sharing release button is triggered to land.

In some implementation scenarios of this embodiment, after detecting the multi-player interaction request triggered by the first game client on the target flying vehicle, the method further includes: generating a control instruction of the target flight vehicle according to the interaction request; and responding to the control instruction, searching for a flight animation special effect matched with the interactive operation, displaying the flight animation special effect on the flight track of the target flight vehicle, and/or searching for a flight control parameter matched with the interactive operation, and adjusting the flight speed and/or the flight track of the target flight vehicle based on the flight control parameter.

During ride-sharing flight, for example, the character 1 invites the character 2 to share the target flight vehicle, and the display special effect of the ride-sharing picture or the flight state (such as the flight speed or the flight animation special effect displayed during flight) of the target flight vehicle can be controlled according to the interaction action initiated by the two people during ride-sharing. The method comprises the following steps: and displaying a special effect corresponding to the interaction action while the target flight vehicle flies, and adjusting the flying speed, the acceleration and the flying track of the target flight vehicle in real time according to the flight control parameters corresponding to the interaction action.

In some implementation scenarios of this embodiment, after controlling the third game character and the first game character to jointly ride on the target flying vehicle, the scheme further includes: and allocating a first control authority of the target flight vehicle to the first game role, and allocating a second control authority of the target flight vehicle to the third game role.

In one example, a first control right is used for controlling a cockpit of the target flying vehicle, a second control right is used for controlling a weapon cabin of the target flying vehicle, in another example, the first control right is used for controlling the target flying vehicle in a horizontal direction, the second control right is used for controlling the flying height of the target flying vehicle, in yet another example, the first control right is used for controlling a first control of the target flying vehicle, the second control right is used for controlling a second control of the target flying vehicle, and the operation controls of the target flying vehicle comprise the first control and the second control.

When two games ride on one target flight vehicle, the flight altitude and direction can be controlled by the full authority of the initiating role of the ride-sharing request, or the flight vehicle can be controlled by all the shared roles, for example, the role 1 transfers the altitude control authority of the flight vehicle to the role 2, the role 1 controls the front, the back, the left and the right, the role 2 controls the flight altitude, and two persons cooperate to control the flight state.

By adopting the scheme of the embodiment, the following flight and flight interaction of multiple persons are realized, and the human-computer interaction efficiency is improved.
