The above-mentioned intelligent virtual object is an AI (Artificial Intelligence) or virtual object controlled by preset program content, that is, the executed activity of the intelligent virtual object in the virtual environment is the activity specified by the AI or preset program content.

In conjunction with the above noun explanations, an implementation environment of the embodiments of the present application will be explained. FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a computer system provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The computer system 100 includes: terminal device 110, server 120, and communication network 130.

The terminal device 110 is installed and operated with an application program supporting a virtual environment. The application program may be any one of a virtual reality application program, a three-dimensional map program, a TPS Game, an FPS Game, a Multiplayer Online tactical sports Game (MOBA), a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG), and a Multiplayer gunfight type live Game. The user controls the master virtual object located in the virtual environment through the terminal device 110. The terminal device 110 includes various types of terminal devices such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a desktop computer, and a laptop computer.

The server 120 is used to provide background services for applications that support a three-dimensional virtual environment. Illustratively, the server 120 provides a back-end logic for the application program according to the application request sent by the terminal device 110, and the terminal device 110 provides a front-end logic for the application program. Optionally, server 120 undertakes primary computational work and terminal device 110 undertakes secondary computational work; alternatively, server 120 undertakes the secondary computing work and terminal device 110 undertakes the primary computing work; alternatively, the server 120 and the terminal device 110 perform cooperative computing by using a distributed computing architecture. In some embodiments, when the application is a standalone game, i.e., the game logic is completed by the terminal device 110.

It should be noted that the server 120 may be an independent physical server, a server cluster or a distributed system formed by a plurality of physical servers, or a cloud server providing basic cloud computing services such as a cloud service, a cloud database, cloud computing, a cloud function, cloud storage, a Network service, cloud communication, a middleware service, a domain name service, a security service, a Content Delivery Network (CDN), a big data and artificial intelligence platform, and the like.

In this embodiment, after receiving a task start operation of a target task, the terminal device 110 obtains configuration information corresponding to the target task from the server 120 through a task start request, displays a first virtual object and a second virtual object in a virtual environment according to the configuration information, displays an interactive animation between the first virtual object and a eliminated second virtual object after the master control virtual object eliminates the second virtual object, and displays task completion information when the terminal device 110 or the server 120 detects that the second virtual object interacted with the first virtual object meets a task requirement corresponding to the target task.

Illustratively, terminal device 110 and server 120 are connected via a communication network 130.

Referring to fig. 2, a method for interaction of virtual objects is shown in an embodiment of the present application, and in the embodiment of the present application, the method is applied to a terminal device shown in fig. 1, and the method includes:

step 201, in response to receiving a task starting operation for a target task, displaying a first virtual object corresponding to the target task in a virtual environment.

The first virtual object is used for assisting the execution process of a target task, and the target task corresponds to a task requirement.

A virtual environment interface is displayed in the terminal device, where the virtual environment interface includes a picture of observing the virtual environment by the master control virtual object, and schematically, the virtual environment picture is a picture of observing the virtual environment in a view angle direction of the master control virtual object, and optionally, the view angle direction may be a first person view angle or a third person view angle, which is not limited herein. The first person perspective is a perspective corresponding to a picture which can be observed by the main control virtual object in the virtual environment, and the picture corresponding to the first person perspective does not include the main control virtual object, such as an arm and a virtual gun which can only see the main control virtual object; the third person refers to a viewing angle, that is, a viewing angle from which the main control virtual object is observed through the camera model in the virtual environment, a picture corresponding to the third person refers to the viewing angle and includes the main control virtual object itself, and the camera model is usually located behind the main control virtual object to observe the main control virtual object, for example, a three-dimensional model of the main control virtual object and a virtual prop (e.g., a virtual gun) held by the main control virtual object can be seen.

In the embodiment of the application, a player can control the main control virtual object to receive the target task through the terminal device and start the target task. Optionally, the master virtual object may access the target task by interacting with a Non-Player Character (NPC) in the virtual environment; or, the target task can be accessed through a task interface provided in the virtual environment interface; alternatively, the master virtual object may access the target task by picking up a virtual prop in the virtual environment.

Illustratively, the target task corresponds to a task starting stage, a task proceeding stage and a task ending stage. In some embodiments, the task starting condition may be that the main control virtual object moves to a task-designated position in the virtual environment, or the task starting condition may be a task access operation, that is, after the target task is accessed, the task is started and a task execution stage is entered. The task proceeding stage is used for indicating the task process executed by the main control virtual object according to the task requirement of the target task. And the task ending stage is used for indicating the master control virtual object to display a task result after finishing a task requirement.

In the embodiment of the application, when a task starting operation is received in a task starting stage, the terminal device displays a first virtual object corresponding to a target task in a virtual environment interface.

Optionally, the task starting operation may be implemented through a task starting control, for example, the virtual environment interface includes a task panel, each task accessed by the main control virtual object is displayed in the task panel, each or a part of the tasks in the task panel corresponds to the task starting control, and when the task starting control corresponding to the target task receives the trigger operation, it is determined that the task starting operation is received.

Optionally, the task starting operation may be implemented by a task mark in the virtual environment, illustratively, after the main control virtual object receives the target task, the target task may be started by the task mark in the virtual environment, for example, when the main control virtual object is close to the task mark, a task interaction control may be displayed, and when the task interaction control receives a trigger operation, it is determined that the task starting operation is received, or a position corresponding to the task mark is directly clicked, that is, the task starting operation is taken.

Step 202, displaying a second virtual object in the virtual environment.

Illustratively, the second virtual object is in a hostile relationship with the master virtual object, that is, the master virtual object may attack the second virtual object, and/or the second virtual object may attack the master virtual object. For example, the second virtual object and the master virtual object belong to different camps.

In some embodiments, the first virtual object and the second virtual object are smart virtual objects, that is, the first virtual object and the second virtual object are AI virtual objects controlled by a server or a terminal device.

Alternatively, the second virtual object may be a virtual object that is refreshed according to the target task, that is, after the target task receives the task starting operation, the second virtual object is refreshed and displayed around the master virtual object. Optionally, the second virtual object may be a virtual object originally existing in the virtual environment, that is, after the target task receives the task starting operation, the terminal device controls the second virtual object in the virtual environment to move and attack the master virtual object.

Step 203, responding to the master virtual object eliminating the second virtual object, and displaying the interactive animation between the first virtual object and the eliminated second virtual object.

In the embodiment of the application, the player can control the main control virtual object to attack the second virtual object, and when the second virtual object is eliminated, the interaction process between the first virtual object and the eliminated second virtual object can be displayed.

Illustratively, the second virtual object corresponds to an attribute value, and when the virtual damage caused by the master virtual object to the second virtual object reaches or exceeds the attribute value of the second virtual object, it is determined that the second virtual object is eliminated. Optionally, the attribute value includes at least one of a life value (HP), a magic value (Mana Point, MP), a defense value, and the like.

Illustratively, when the second virtual object is eliminated, the state of the second virtual object is changed from a first state to a second state, in one example, the first state is a fighting state, and the second state is a fighting loss state, and the second virtual object in the second state does not attack the master virtual object any more.

In some embodiments, the first virtual object interacts with the deselected second virtual object when the deselected second virtual object is within a range of the first virtual object. Illustratively, a task execution range is displayed at a first position in the virtual environment, the first position being on a peripheral side of a second position where the first virtual object is located, and when the eliminated second virtual object is in the task execution range, an interactive animation between the first virtual object and the eliminated second virtual object will be displayed. In some embodiments, when there is no obsolete second virtual object within the task execution scope, the first virtual object is in a standby state.

In this embodiment of the application, the interactive animation indicates that the first virtual object and the eliminated second virtual object perform interaction, for example, the first virtual object corresponds to a virtual wolf dog, the second virtual object corresponds to a virtual zombie, and the interactive animation displays a picture that the virtual wolf dog gnaws the virtual zombie.

And step 204, responding to that a second virtual object interacted with the first virtual object meets the task requirement, and displaying task completion information of the target task.

In the embodiment of the application, the task requirement is to determine the completion condition of the target task in the execution process of the target task by the master virtual object.

Alternatively, the task requirement may indicate the number of eliminated second virtual objects interacting with the first virtual object, for example, when the second virtual objects interacting with the first virtual object reach a target threshold, the target task is determined to be completed, and task completion information of the target task is displayed.

Alternatively, the task requirement may indicate an object type of the eliminated second virtual object interacting with the first virtual object, for example, the object type corresponding to the second virtual object includes a soldier type, a primary leader (BOSS) type, a middle leader type, a high leader type, and the like, and when the eliminated second virtual object interacting with the first virtual object is the high leader type, it is determined that the target task is completed, and task completion information of the target task is displayed.

Illustratively, the task completion information is used to indicate to the player that the target task has been completed. Optionally, the task completion information further includes task reward information, that is, after the main control virtual object completes the target task, the virtual goods can be obtained, and the main control virtual object can complete virtual match through the virtual goods, where the virtual goods may be medicine goods, weapon goods, city defense goods, and the like, and are not limited herein.

In some embodiments, a third virtual object is displayed in the virtual environment after the master virtual object completes the target task. Optionally, the third virtual object is used to replace a second virtual object in the virtual environment, and an attribute value corresponding to the third virtual object is lower than an attribute value corresponding to the second virtual object, that is, the refreshed third virtual object in the virtual environment is more easily eliminated by the master virtual object than the second virtual object, if the master virtual object does not complete the target task, the second virtual object is still refreshed in the virtual environment, and both the second virtual object and the third virtual object are in an enemy relationship with the master virtual object. Optionally, the third virtual object is used to assist the main control virtual object, that is, the third virtual object generated after the target task is completed is in a teammate relationship or a master-slave relationship with the main control virtual object, and the third virtual object is in an enemy relationship with the second virtual object in the virtual environment.

To sum up, in the interaction method for virtual objects provided in the embodiment of the present application, after the target task is started, when the master control virtual object eliminates the second virtual object, the first virtual object corresponding to the target task interacts with the eliminated second virtual object, and when the second virtual object interacting with the first virtual object meets the task requirement, the master control virtual object completes the target task. Interaction modes between the virtual objects are enriched through interaction between the main control virtual object and the second virtual object and interaction between the first virtual object and the second virtual object, and accordingly implementation modes of virtual game matching are enriched.

Referring to fig. 3, a method for interaction of virtual objects is shown in an embodiment of the present application, in which an interface display of the method is schematically illustrated, and the method includes:

at step 301, a task marker is displayed at a second location in the virtual environment.

The task marker is used to indicate a location in the virtual environment for completing the target task.

In an embodiment of the present application, in response to the master virtual object accepting the target task, a task marker corresponding to the target task is displayed at a second location in the virtual environment. Alternatively, the second location may be a plurality of location points specified in the virtual environment.

In some embodiments, the task marker is displayed in the virtual environment only after the target task is started; or the task mark is displayed in the virtual environment, when the target task is not started, the task mark is in an inactivated state, and when the target task is started, the task mark is in an activated state, wherein the task mark in the inactivated state cannot interact with the main control virtual object, and the task mark in the activated state can interact with the main control virtual object.

Alternatively, the task mark may be at least one of a text mark, a pattern mark, an animation mark, a voice mark, and the like, which is not limited herein. In one example, when the task mark is a pattern mark, the pattern corresponding to the task mark has an association relationship with the first virtual object, for example, as shown in fig. 4, the three-dimensional model of the first virtual object 401 is a dog head, and the corresponding task mark 402 corresponds to a two-dimensional dog head pattern.

Alternatively, the task mark may be displayed in a first display mode, and the first display mode may be one of a display mode such as a stroke display mode, a highlight display mode, and a color change display mode.

Step 302, in response to receiving a task starting operation for the target task at a position corresponding to the task mark, displaying a first virtual object corresponding to the target task.

In some embodiments, when the target task is turned on, a scene of the first virtual object is displayed in the virtual environment screen, the scene indicating that the target task is turned on. Illustratively, the scene cut is used to display the conversion process of the task mark into the first virtual object, for example, the scene cut is a two-dimensional pattern of the task mark gradually converted into the first virtual object of the three-dimensional model; alternatively, the pop-up animation is used to display that the first virtual object is generated from a position corresponding to a task mark, for example, the task mark is displayed on a virtual wall, and the pop-up animation is an animation in which the first virtual object is drilled from a position corresponding to the task mark.

Illustratively, the corresponding target task is determined according to the task mark, the object model of the first virtual object corresponding to the target task is obtained, and the scene-out animation of the first virtual object is displayed based on the object model of the first virtual object. Optionally, the object model of the first virtual object obtained by the terminal device may be stored in the terminal device in advance, or may be obtained from a server in real time.

Step 303, displaying a task execution scope at a first location in the virtual environment.

In some embodiments, the first position is a position on an inner side of the second position of the task mark, and the task execution range is used for indicating a range limit for the master virtual object to complete the target task.

Illustratively, the target task corresponds to configuration information, and the terminal device displays the task execution range according to the configuration information. Optionally, the configuration information may be pre-stored by the terminal device, or may be obtained from a server in real time.

Optionally, the configuration information includes at least one of position configuration data, range configuration data, position effect data, and the like. The location configuration data is used to provide the first location, and in one example, the location configuration data includes coordinate data of the first location in a world coordinate system corresponding to the virtual environment. The range configuration data is used to indicate the size of the task execution range, and in one example, the range configuration data corresponds to data such as a range shape, a range area, a range radius, and the like of the task execution range, for example, if the range configuration data is [ circle, radius 5 m ], the task execution range is a circular region with a radius of 5 m at the first position. The position effect data is used for indicating a display effect corresponding to the task execution range, and illustratively, the position effect data indicates that the task execution range is displayed in a second display mode, which may be at least one of a highlight display mode, a pattern display mode, a stroke display mode, and the like, and in one example, the task execution range is displayed in a pattern surrounded by flames.

Step 304, displaying a second virtual object in the virtual environment.

The second virtual object is in an enemy relationship with the master virtual object, that is, the master virtual object can attack the second virtual object.

In this embodiment of the application, taking the second virtual object as an example of refreshing the virtual object in the virtual environment according to the target task, after the terminal device determines that the target task is started, the terminal device reads the refresh point location data corresponding to the second virtual object, where the refresh point location data is used to indicate an initial generation position of the second virtual object in the virtual environment, and displays the second virtual object in the virtual environment according to the refresh point location data at the target refresh frequency. Optionally, the point location refreshing data may include a coordinate set in a world coordinate system in a virtual environment, that is, the terminal device randomly or sequentially obtains coordinate data from the coordinate set, and generates a second virtual object at a position corresponding to the coordinate data; or, the refresh point location data may include a location range in which the second virtual object is refreshed in the virtual environment, and the terminal device randomly determines a location where the second virtual object is generated within the location range.

Step 305, in response to the master virtual object eliminating the second virtual object and the second virtual object being within the task execution range, displaying the interactive animation between the first virtual object and the eliminated second virtual object.

In this embodiment of the application, the eliminated second virtual object needs to be located within the task execution range, and the eliminated second virtual object interacts with the first virtual object. In one example, after the target task is started and the second virtual object is refreshed in the virtual environment, the second virtual object moves and attacks with the master control virtual object as a hate target, and the player can control the master control virtual object to attract the second virtual object to the task execution range and attack the second virtual object to eliminate the second virtual object.

In some embodiments, when at least two eliminated second virtual objects are included within the task execution scope, the second virtual object currently interacting with the first virtual object is determined according to an elimination order between the eliminated second virtual objects.

Illustratively, a removal sequence corresponding to the removed second virtual objects within the task execution range is determined, in response to that the current second virtual object is the virtual object with the earliest removal time in the removed second virtual objects, a moving animation of the current second virtual object moving to the first virtual object is displayed, and in response to that the current second virtual object moves to the second position, an interactive animation between the first virtual object and the current second virtual object is displayed.

In some embodiments, the first virtual object is in a standby (Idle) state when the second virtual object is not currently deselected within the task execution scope, and a standby animation of the first virtual object is displayed when the first virtual object is in the standby state.

Referring to fig. 5, which illustrates a virtual environment interface diagram provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present application, a master virtual object 501, a first virtual object 502, and a plurality of second virtual objects 503 are displayed in a virtual environment interface 500, in a virtual environment screen displayed in the virtual environment interface 500, a task execution range is displayed through a fire circle 504, and when the master virtual object 501 eliminates the second virtual object 503 within the fire circle 504, the first virtual object 501 interacts with the eliminated second virtual object 503.

Step 306, in response to a second virtual object interacting with the first virtual object within the task duration reaching a target threshold, displaying task completion information for the target task.

In the embodiment of the application, the target task corresponds to the task duration, and the player needs to control the main control virtual object within the task duration to complete the task requirement corresponding to the target task. Illustratively, the task duration starts to be timed after receiving a task starting operation for the target task.

In this embodiment of the application, the task requirement corresponding to the target task is that, within the task duration, the eliminated second virtual object interacting with the first virtual object reaches a target threshold N, where N is a positive integer, and illustratively, N is configured by the server for the target task in advance.

Step 307, in response to the second virtual object interacting with the first virtual object within the task duration not reaching the target threshold, displaying task failure information of the target task.

In the embodiment of the application, if the eliminated second virtual object interacting with the first virtual object in the task duration does not reach the target threshold, it is determined that the main control virtual object fails to execute the target task, and task failure information is correspondingly displayed.

In some embodiments, after the target task fails to complete, the second virtual object is continuously refreshed in the virtual environment, and the player needs to manipulate the master virtual object to avoid being eliminated by the second virtual object.

In some embodiments, after the target task is failed to complete, a part of virtual materials currently carried by the master control virtual object is deducted, where the virtual materials may be medicine materials, weapon materials, city defense materials, and the like, which is not limited herein.

In one example, as shown in fig. 6, an interactive screen flow diagram of a virtual object provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. The virtual environment interface 600 displays a main control virtual object 601, when the main control virtual object 601 receives a target task and starts the target task through a task mark 610, a task start prompt 620 is displayed, a scene of a first virtual object 602 is displayed at a position corresponding to the task mark 610, a task execution range 630 is displayed at a first position in the virtual environment, and a plurality of second virtual objects 603 are displayed in the task execution range 630 and around the task execution range 630 in a refreshing manner. At this time, the user may control the master virtual object 601 to attack the second virtual object 603 in the virtual environment until the second virtual object 603 is killed, that is, is in a eliminated state, the terminal controls the eliminated second virtual object 604 in the task execution range 603 to move to the first virtual object 602, plays an interactive animation in which the first virtual object 602 phagocytoses the eliminated second virtual object 604, and displays the task completion information 650 when the eliminated second virtual object 604 phagocytosed by the first virtual object 602 meets the task requirement 640 within the task duration.

Referring to fig. 7, a method for interaction of virtual objects is shown in an embodiment of the present application, in which a task start phase of a target task is schematically illustrated, and the method includes:

step 701, responding to the main control virtual object to receive the target task, and acquiring the point location information of the task.
