The game control method provided by the embodiment of the application can be operated on the local terminal equipment or the server. When the game control method is run on a server, the game control method can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interactive system, wherein the cloud interactive system comprises the server and the client device.

In an optional embodiment, various cloud applications may be run under the cloud interaction system, for example: and (5) cloud games. Taking a cloud game as an example, a cloud game refers to a game mode based on cloud computing. In the cloud game operation mode, the game program operation main body and the game picture presentation main body are separated, the storage and the operation of the game control method are completed on a cloud game server, and the client device is used for receiving and sending data and presenting the game picture, for example, the client device can be a display device with a data transmission function close to a user side, such as a mobile terminal, a television, a computer, a palm computer and the like; but the game control is performed by a cloud game server in the cloud. When a game is played, a player operates the client device to send an operation instruction to the cloud game server, the cloud game server runs the game according to the operation instruction, data such as game pictures and the like are encoded and compressed, the data are returned to the client device through a network, and finally the data are decoded through the client device and the game pictures are output.

In an optional implementation manner, taking a game as an example, the local terminal device stores a game program and is used for presenting a game screen. The local terminal device is used for interacting with the player through a graphical user interface, namely, a game program is downloaded and installed and operated through the electronic device conventionally. The manner in which the local terminal device provides the graphical user interface to the player may include a variety of ways, for example, it may be rendered for display on a display screen of the terminal or provided to the player through holographic projection. By way of example, the local terminal device may include a display screen for presenting a graphical user interface including game screens and a processor for running the game, generating the graphical user interface, and controlling display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.

Next, an application scenario to which the present application is applicable is described. The application can be applied to the technical field of games, such as shooting games and the like. In the related game, players can compete with each other in limited maps and resources corresponding to the virtual scene, collect supplies such as various firearms in the game and a sighting telescope for upgrading the firearms, some equipment and medicines such as helmets, backpacks, flash bombs, and airdrop supplies. Wherein, the acquisition mode of air-dropped supplies includes two kinds: firstly, calling a virtual carrier (such as a helicopter) through a calling prop (such as a signal bomb) of a virtual object device, and throwing air-drop materials to the position of the virtual object by the virtual carrier in an air-drop mode; secondly, during the game, the virtual vehicle puts airdrop materials into the virtual environment by a fixed route and a fixed time interval.

Illustratively, the related game may be played as follows: controlling the virtual object completing the game preparation link to enter a first game link in response to the condition that the number of players completing the game preparation link reaches a first preset number; and in the process of the first game link, responding to the interactive behavior of the virtual object in the first game link in the virtual scene, controlling the virtual object to move in the virtual scene and picking up materials. Specifically, the condition that the number of players who complete the game preparation link reaches the first preset number is used for controlling the start of the game in the game, which may be understood as that a game player sends a start request of the game in the game to a server through a terminal device, the server determines whether the received start request of the game player meets the start condition of the game in the game after receiving the start request of the game in the game, and if the start request meets the start condition, the game in the game is controlled to start. Specifically, the starting conditions of the game of this hand (starting conditions of the game search link) may include the following: the number of the players participating in the game of the local game meets the requirement of a first preset number, and if the number of the players participating in the game of the local game meets 100 persons, 120 persons, 140 persons and the like, the game of the local game is started; if the online time of the game exceeds the preset limit time, the server forces the game player to quit the game. The interactive behavior refers to a behavior of a virtual object manipulated by a player performing an activity in a virtual scene, and exemplary behaviors of the virtual object performing the activity in the virtual scene may include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following: walking, running, jumping, climbing, lying down, attacking, skill releasing, material picking and message sending. Here, the virtual objects active in the virtual scene may include other player-manipulated virtual objects or other non-player-manipulated virtual objects in addition to the virtual object manipulated by the player.

Specifically, when a virtual vehicle (such as a helicopter) launches airdropped goods and materials into a virtual scene in a fixed air route and at a fixed time interval, the airdropped goods and materials generate a special identifier in the virtual scene, and a position identifier corresponding to the position of the airdropped goods and materials in the virtual scene is generated on a field Jing Sulve map, so that a player can find and scrape the airdropped goods and materials according to the position identifier and the special identifier in the virtual scene.

However, research shows that, in addition to the position identifiers corresponding to the airdropped supplies, object identifiers corresponding to a plurality of virtual objects are also displayed in the scene thumbnail map, and a large number of identifiers are displayed in the smaller scene thumbnail map, so that the sight line of the player viewing the relative position between the object identifier corresponding to the virtual object controlled by the player and the position identifier corresponding to the airdropped supplies is easily blocked, and the display range of the special identifiers corresponding to the airdropped supplies in the virtual scene is limited. Therefore, the player can check the position identification corresponding to the air-dropped goods and materials displayed in the scene thumbnail map and control the virtual object to move to the position of the air-dropped goods and materials in the virtual scene, operation is inconvenient, the player can not accurately control the virtual object to move to the position of the air-dropped goods and materials in the virtual scene due to the fact that sight lines are blocked easily, efficiency of the player for searching the air-dropped goods and materials is reduced finally, and human-computer interaction efficiency is reduced.

Based on this, the embodiment of the application provides a game control method, a game control device, an electronic device and a storage medium, a player can quickly find virtual goods in a virtual scene according to a displayed direction guide identifier, the speed of searching the virtual goods in the virtual scene by the player is improved, and further the human-computer interaction efficiency is improved.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart of a game control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, a game control method provided in an embodiment of the present application includes:

s101, responding that the virtual battle mission meets a preset condition, and controlling to release virtual goods and materials in a virtual scene;

s102, determining a target scene area corresponding to the released virtual goods in the virtual scene;

s103, responding to the movement of the virtual object to the target scene area, displaying the azimuth guide mark on the graphical user interface, and controlling the indication direction of the azimuth guide mark according to the target position of the virtual material in the virtual scene.

According to the game control method, after virtual materials are thrown into the virtual scene, the target scene area corresponding to the thrown virtual materials in the virtual scene is determined, and after the virtual object moves to the target scene area, the direction guide identification is displayed on the graphical user interface so as to guide the virtual object to move from the current position of the virtual object to the virtual materials in the virtual scene. Therefore, after the player controls the virtual object to move to the target scene area, the player can directly and accurately control the virtual object to move from the current position of the virtual object to the virtual goods in the virtual scene according to the direction guide identifier, the player does not need to check the position identifier corresponding to the airdropped goods displayed in the scene thumbnail map and control the virtual object to move to the position of the airdropped goods in the virtual scene, the operation is convenient and fast, the sight line of the player is not influenced by too many identifiers displayed on a graphical user interface, the efficiency of searching the airdropped goods by the player is improved, the player can find the virtual goods according to the direction guide identifier after entering the target scene area, the speed of searching the virtual goods in the virtual scene by the player is improved, and the human-computer interaction efficiency is improved.

In order to facilitate understanding of the present embodiment, the following takes as an example that the game control method provided in the embodiments of the present application is applied to a terminal device, and the foregoing exemplary steps provided in the embodiments of the present application are respectively described.

In step S101, in response to that the virtual battle mission meets a preset condition, virtual materials are controlled to be released in the virtual scene.

In this step, the preset condition includes one of the following items:

(1) The game progress of the virtual battle mission reaches a preset time point.

(2) And executing a virtual carrier calling event by the virtual object in the virtual battle mission, wherein the virtual carrier is used for throwing virtual goods and materials to the virtual scene.

(3) The survival number of the virtual objects which survive in the virtual battle mission reaches the set number.

The following is a specific description of the preset conditions including the above three cases:

In one embodiment, the preset time point may be a fixed time point preset by the game system, and the fixed time point may be a time point uniformly set in the game system, for example, when the game progress of the virtual match-up task reaches 20 minutes, the virtual goods and materials are controlled to be released in the virtual scene.

Therefore, as the player knows the fixed time point of putting the virtual goods in the virtual scene in advance, the player can prepare to search the virtual goods in advance, the situation that the player misses the time of searching and scraping the virtual goods because the time of putting the virtual goods in the virtual scene is not clear is avoided, the game process is accelerated, and the human-computer interaction efficiency is indirectly improved.

In another embodiment, the preset time point may be a random time point preset by the game system, and the random time point may be a time point randomly set in the game mechanism, for example, when the game progress of the virtual match-up task reaches 10 minutes, 20 minutes, or 30 minutes, the virtual material is controlled to be released in the virtual scene.

Here, because the time point of putting in the virtual materials in the virtual scene is a random time point, and the program code aiming at the random time point in the computer is relatively not very complex, balance can be established between computer resources and the game experience of the player, and the effect of game balance can be achieved without consuming a large amount of computer resources while improving the game experience of the player.

The virtual vehicle calling event refers to calling a virtual vehicle (such as a helicopter) through a calling prop (such as a signal bomb) of virtual object equipment, and the virtual vehicle puts virtual goods and materials into a virtual scene in an air drop mode.

Here, the time of putting the virtual goods in the virtual scene may be controlled by the player himself, that is, the time of the virtual goods appearing in the virtual scene may be controlled by the player himself. The virtual object can control the virtual goods and materials to be delivered in the virtual scene by executing the virtual vehicle calling event. Therefore, the virtual object which searches for the summoning prop can summon and preferentially search virtual goods and materials, so that the player is not only stimulated to wait for airdrop goods and materials, but also can search for the summoning prop in a virtual scene, the diversification of virtual goods and materials putting is increased, the virtual goods and materials put in the virtual scene have greater attraction, more players can be promoted to compete for the virtual goods and materials, the battle is bound to be carried out between different marketing campaigns so as to eliminate partial players, the number of players can be greatly reduced, the time of a single game is shortened, and the human-computer interaction efficiency is indirectly improved.

In the step, the set number is used as a starting condition for judging the virtual goods and materials to be thrown in the virtual scene by the game system, and in the process of the virtual battle mission, if the survival number of the survival virtual objects reaches the set number, the virtual goods and materials are thrown in the virtual scene.

The set number can be determined by a game developer according to a value set by game design, or can be determined by intelligently analyzing historical data in a virtual battle task through an artificial intelligence technology.

Therefore, the virtual objects are triggered to be thrown in the virtual scene according to the set number of the survival virtual objects, so that the scattered players are gathered to increase the possibility of confrontation among different players, the elimination speed of each virtual object in the game is increased, and the aims of indirectly shortening the time length of a single game and improving the human-computer interaction efficiency are fulfilled.

In step S102, a target scene region corresponding to the virtual material to be delivered in the virtual scene is determined. Here, the target scene area has at least two functions:

firstly, the target scene area can be used for putting virtual goods and materials. In particular, the target scene area has a certain limit or range in the virtual scene, and the virtual object may move a distance within the target scene area or move a time within the target scene area at the current moving speed. In one embodiment, when the system puts virtual goods and materials, an air-drop area is predetermined as a target scene area, and the virtual goods and materials are randomly put in the air-drop area; in one embodiment, a system determines an accurate position when virtual goods and materials are thrown in advance, and then determines an air-drop area corresponding to the accurate position according to a rule preset by the system; the system can launch virtual goods and materials to the accurate position, and a scene thumbnail map in the game can generate goods and materials area identification corresponding to an air-dropped area; in another embodiment, the system simultaneously determines a target scene area for delivering the virtual goods and an accurate position in the target scene area for delivering the virtual goods, wherein the target scene area and the accurate position appear simultaneously and supplement each other.

In the embodiment of the application, the target scene area is used for launching the virtual goods, so that the player can control the virtual object to search the virtual goods in the target scene area after moving to the target scene area. The searching area of the virtual goods and materials is determined to be the target scene area, so that the player can know the searching area of the virtual goods and materials in advance, the moving direction of the virtual object can be adjusted accurately and timely, the virtual object can be guaranteed to be searched for the virtual goods and materials in the target scene area all the time, the searching efficiency of the player on the virtual goods and materials is effectively improved, and the game progress can be accelerated.

Secondly, the target scene area can be used as a trigger area for triggering the display of the azimuth guide mark on the graphical user interface. At this time, the target scene area may be independent of the precise location in the virtual scene for delivering the virtual goods. That is, when virtual materials are released in a virtual scene, a target scene area is determined synchronously, and the target scene area is not used for releasing the virtual materials. However, after the virtual goods and materials are put in the virtual scene, if the player moves to the target scene area, the direction guide identifier for guiding the virtual object to move to the virtual goods and materials is displayed on the graphical user interface.

For example, in the related game, the target scene area can be used as one of the links of the reward mechanism in the game, and the reward mechanism is designed according to the following idea: the player can provide clues for moving to the target scene area or move to the target scene area by luck after finishing the specified tasks, and when the player moves to the target scene area, the player can be triggered to display the direction guide identifier on the graphical user interface, so that the player can quickly search virtual goods in the virtual scene according to the direction guide identifier. By setting such a reward mechanism, the player can be promoted to actively complete a specified task or actively move in a virtual scene, which is helpful for accelerating the game process.

In the embodiment of the application, the target scene area is encouraged to be searched in the virtual scene by setting the reward mechanism based on that the target scene area can trigger the azimuth guide identifier to display, and corresponding virtual rewards (the virtual rewards are the azimuth guide identifiers displayed on the graphical user interface) are obtained, so that the virtual objects can complete the search of virtual materials as soon as possible, and the game experience is enriched. Meanwhile, after the player moves to the target scene area, the player can quickly search virtual goods and materials in the virtual scene according to the displayed direction guide identification, so that the player can find the virtual goods and materials as soon as possible, the game process can be accelerated, and the human-computer interaction efficiency is indirectly improved.

In step S103, in response to the virtual object moving into the target scene area, the direction indicator is displayed on the graphical user interface, and the indication direction of the direction indicator is controlled according to the target position of the virtual material in the virtual scene.

In the above step, the direction guide identifier has a guide direction, and the guide direction is a direction in which the current position of the virtual object faces the target position of the virtual goods in the virtual scene, and further, the player can control the virtual object to move from the current position of the virtual object to the target position of the virtual goods in the virtual scene according to the direction guide identifier.

Specifically, the orientation indicator may include one of a two-dimensional orientation indicator and a three-dimensional orientation indicator, and the orientation indicator may be displayed in the form of a planar arrow, a solid arrow, and the like, where the indication directions of the planar arrow and the solid arrow point to the target position of the virtual goods in the virtual scene. In one embodiment, the orientation guide identifier may be disposed at a boundary of the graphical user interface to avoid occlusion of a portion of the virtual scene displayed in the graphical user interface; in another embodiment, the position guide identifier may be disposed at the top of the virtual object, so that the player controlling the virtual object can observe the change of the position guide identifier in time and adjust the traveling route thereof in time according to the change of the position guide identifier.

For example, referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a graphical user interface provided in an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 2, after a virtual object 201 enters a target scene area 202 of a virtual scene, an orientation indicator 203 is displayed on the graphical user interface, an indication direction of the orientation indicator 203 points to a target position of a virtual material in the virtual scene, as shown in fig. 2, an indication direction of the orientation indicator 203 is left of a current position of the virtual object 201, and a player can control the virtual object 201 to move to the target position of the virtual material according to the indication direction of the orientation indicator 203.

In addition, after the virtual object moves to the target scene area, a text prompt message can also be displayed on the graphical user interface, wherein the text prompt message is used for prompting the distance between the virtual object and the target position of the virtual material in the virtual scene, and if the text prompt message pops up in a pop-up window form; the method can also output voice prompt information, for example, when the target positions of the virtual object and the virtual goods in the virtual scene are continuously reduced, a 'tic' sound is generated, or a 'distance between you and the virtual goods reaches XX' is broadcasted through voice, so that the player can find the virtual goods as soon as possible under the prompt information, and the time for the player to search the virtual goods in the virtual scene is saved.

In the embodiment of the application, the direction guide identifier is displayed on the graphical user interface, so that accurate direction guide can be provided for the virtual object to search virtual materials in the virtual scene, the virtual object can accurately and quickly move to the target position of the virtual materials in the virtual scene according to the indication direction provided by the direction guide identifier, the virtual object can be helped to quickly find the virtual materials in the virtual scene, and the time for the virtual object to search the virtual materials in the virtual scene is saved. In addition, a player does not need to check position identification corresponding to virtual goods and materials displayed in a scene thumbnail map and control the virtual object to move to a target position of the virtual goods and materials in a virtual scene, operation is convenient, sight lines of the player are not affected by too many identification displayed on a graphical user interface, efficiency of the player in searching the virtual goods and materials is improved, the player can find the virtual goods and materials as soon as possible according to the direction guide identification after entering a target scene area, speed of the player in searching the virtual scene for the virtual goods and materials is improved, and man-machine interaction efficiency is improved.

In one embodiment, the following specific description is made in the present application by taking an example of using a target scene area for launching virtual goods and materials:

when the target position of the virtual material in the virtual scene is located in the target scene area, in step S103, in response to the virtual object moving into the target scene area, the step of displaying the direction indicator on the graphical user interface includes: responding to the movement of the virtual object to the target scene area, and detecting the distance between the virtual object and the virtual goods and materials in the target scene area; and responding that the distance between the virtual object and the virtual goods and materials in the target scene area is smaller than a preset distance threshold value, and displaying the azimuth guide identification on the graphical user interface.

In this step, since the virtual materials are in the target scene area, after the virtual object moves to the target scene area, the direction guide identifier may be displayed on the graphical user interface in response to that the distance between the virtual object and the virtual materials is smaller than the preset distance threshold, and the player may control the virtual object to move toward the target position according to the direction guide identifier.

The target scene area may be set to be in a regular shape, such as a circle, a square, or the like, and if the target scene area is a circle, the preset distance threshold is smaller than the diameter of the circle area corresponding to the target scene area; if the target scene area is square, the preset distance threshold is smaller than the side length of the square area corresponding to the target scene area; the target scene area may also be set to an irregular shape, where the preset distance threshold may be set according to experience of the game designer.

Therefore, after the virtual object moves to the target scene area, if the direction guide identification is displayed on the graphical user interface, the virtual object can be represented to approach to the target position of the virtual goods, so that the player is reminded to adjust the moving direction of the virtual object controlled by the player in the target scene area in time, and the virtual object can move to the target position of the virtual goods as soon as possible, thereby saving the time for the player to search the virtual goods and improving the man-machine interaction efficiency.

In the related scheme, because the player can predict the position of the airdropped goods in the virtual scene in advance, the virtual object is controlled to move to the position where the airdropped goods can land in advance, and then the airdropped goods are obtained, so that some old players can squat at the position where the airdropped goods can land, some players, such as new players, dare to pick up the airdropped goods at the position where the airdropped goods can land, the game duration of a single game is prolonged, and the man-machine interaction efficiency is reduced.

To solve the above technical problem, an embodiment of the present application provides another game control method, please refer to fig. 3, and fig. 3 is a flowchart of another game control method provided in the embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 3, a game control method provided in an embodiment of the present application includes:

s301, responding that the virtual battle mission meets a preset condition, and controlling to release virtual goods and materials in a virtual scene;

s302, determining a target scene area corresponding to the released virtual goods in the virtual scene;

s303, displaying material area identifications corresponding to virtual materials in a map area corresponding to a target scene area in a scene thumbnail map displayed in a graphical user interface;

s304, responding to the movement of the virtual object to the target scene area, displaying the azimuth guide identifier on the graphical user interface, and controlling the indication direction of the azimuth guide identifier according to the target position of the virtual material in the virtual scene; wherein the target location is located within the target scene area.

For the explanation of step S301, step S302 and step S304, reference may be made to the explanation of step S101 to step S103, and repeated descriptions are omitted.

In step S303, a material area identifier corresponding to a virtual material is displayed in a map area corresponding to a target scene area in a scene thumbnail map displayed in the graphical user interface. Here, the target position is located within the target scene area.

In one embodiment, a map control is displayed on a graphical user interface, a scene thumbnail map is displayed on the graphical user interface in response to a touch operation on the map control, the scene thumbnail map is a thumbnail of the whole virtual scene, the scene thumbnail map includes a map area, the map area corresponds to a target scene area in the virtual scene one by one, since a target position of a virtual material in the virtual scene is located in the target scene area, a material area identifier corresponding to the virtual material is displayed on the map area, and a player can control a virtual object to move towards the target position according to the material area identifier. Here, the virtual scene, the target scene area, and the target position of the virtual goods in the virtual scene are displayed in the scene thumbnail map corresponding to the map control according to the preset scale.

In an optional embodiment, step S303 specifically includes: and overlapping and displaying a material area identifier with a preset area corresponding to the virtual material at a map area corresponding to the target scene area in the scene thumbnail map displayed in the graphical user interface.

In the above embodiment, the material area identifier has a preset area, that is, the proportion of the occupied area of the material area identifier in the scene thumbnail map to the total area of the scene thumbnail map is equal to the preset proportion threshold. Here, since the target scene area in the virtual scene has a certain range, the scale for displaying the target scene area is the same as the scale for displaying the scene thumbnail map, and meanwhile, the area size of the target scene area is in positive correlation with the movement distance obtained by the virtual object continuously moving for the preset time, the material area identifier has a certain occupied area in the field Jing Sulve map, and further can obtain: the proportion of the occupied area of the material area identification in the field Jing Sulve map to the total area of the scene thumbnail map is equal to a preset proportion threshold, wherein the preset proportion threshold can be determined according to the ratio of the actual area of the target scene area to the area of the whole virtual scene.

The 'superposed display and material area identification with a preset area corresponding to the virtual materials' can represent that the material area identification is arranged in a map area in a suspending mode, and here, the material area identification can be arranged in the map area in a suspending mode in a semi-transparent mode so as to prevent the material area identification arranged in the map area in a suspending mode from shielding the map area and further influence a sight line of a player for viewing the scene thumbnail map.

In the foregoing manner, since the material area identifier is used to represent the azimuth information of the target scene area in the virtual scene, the material area identifier in the embodiment of the present application is no longer a coordinate point as shown in the prior art, but the player can find the target scene area according to the material area identifier displayed in the scene thumbnail map, so as to provide a route reference for the virtual object controlled by the player to move to the target scene area, which is helpful for the player to quickly reach the target scene area.

In this way, according to the embodiment of the application, the material area identifier corresponding to the virtual material is displayed in the map area corresponding to the target scene area in the scene thumbnail map, so that the player can control the virtual object to move towards the target scene area according to the material area identifier displayed in the scene thumbnail map, and since the accurate position of the virtual material does not need to be displayed, the specific calculation of the accurate position of the virtual material can be avoided, thereby reducing the consumption of computer resources; because the player can not predict the actual position of the virtual goods in the virtual scene, the position of the virtual goods in the virtual scene has certain randomness, and the individual difference of the player can be considered to improve the fairness of the game; and old players cannot squat at positions near the virtual goods in advance, so that more new players can be promoted to compete for the virtual goods, the development speed of the new players is improved, and because more players are gathered in a target scene area where the virtual goods are located, different camps can certainly fight to eliminate part of players, and the time length of a single game is shortened.

In one embodiment, in step S301, the step of controlling to release the virtual goods and materials in the virtual scene further includes: generating virtual materials at a preset height of a virtual scene; and controlling the virtual material to move from the preset height to the target position of the virtual scene.

In the above steps, a period of time is provided for putting virtual goods and materials in the virtual scene, and in this period of time, the player can control the virtual object to move to the target scene area according to the goods and materials area identification displayed in the scene thumbnail map, so as to provide more deployment time for the player to search virtual goods and materials in the target scene area, and further improve the game experience of the player.

Further, step S303 specifically includes: in the process of controlling the virtual goods and materials to move from the preset height to the target position of the virtual scene, displaying goods and materials area identification corresponding to the virtual goods and materials in a map area corresponding to the target scene area in a scene thumbnail map displayed in a graphical user interface.

On the basis of the above scheme, the embodiment of the present application further includes: and responding to the movement of the virtual goods and materials from the preset height to the target position of the virtual scene, and controlling to update the goods and materials area identification to the goods and materials place identification displayed at the position, corresponding to the target position, of the scene thumbnail.

In the scheme, in the process of controlling the virtual goods and materials to move from the preset height to the target position of the virtual scene, the goods and materials area identification corresponding to the virtual goods and materials is displayed in the map area of the field Jing Sulve map, and when the virtual goods and materials move from the preset height to the target position of the virtual scene, the goods and materials area identification is controlled to be updated to the goods and materials place identification. The material place mark is used for representing the specific target position of the virtual material in the virtual scene.

In the embodiment of the application, in the process of putting virtual goods and materials in a virtual scene, goods and materials area identification corresponding to the virtual goods and materials is displayed in a map area of a field Jing Sulve map, and when the virtual goods and materials move to the target position of the virtual scene from a preset height, except that goods and materials place identification corresponding to the virtual goods and materials is displayed in the map area of a field Jing Sulve map, azimuth guide identification is also displayed on a graphical user interface.

In this way, in the process of putting the virtual goods and materials, the player controls the virtual object to move to the target scene area according to the position of the goods and materials area identification on the scene thumbnail map, wherein the goods and materials area identification only represents the position range of the virtual goods and materials in the virtual scene, because the player cannot predict the actual position of the virtual goods and materials in the virtual scene, the old player cannot squat at the position near the virtual goods and can promote more new players to compete for the virtual goods and materials, so that the development speed of the new players is improved, and because more players search the virtual goods and materials in close time periods, different battles are bound to fight to eliminate part of players, so that the time length of a single game is shortened. When the virtual goods and materials move to the target position of the virtual scene from the preset height, the player can control the virtual object to move to the target position and search the virtual goods and materials according to the azimuth guide identification and the goods and materials location identification, the search efficiency and the search accuracy of the player can be improved, and the human-computer interaction efficiency is further improved.

In one embodiment, a target scene area for putting virtual goods and materials is generated in a virtual scene, and then a goods and materials area identifier corresponding to the virtual goods and materials is displayed in a map area corresponding to the target scene area in a scene thumbnail map displayed in a graphical user interface; in another embodiment, a plurality of target scene areas for delivering virtual goods and materials are generated in a virtual scene, and then a plurality of goods and materials area identifications corresponding to the virtual goods and materials are displayed in a map area corresponding to the target scene area in a scene thumbnail map displayed in a graphical user interface. Here, when a plurality of material area identifiers are displayed on the scene thumbnail map, in order to distinguish the material area identifiers corresponding to different target scene areas, the shape and/or color of each material area identifier may be set to be different. Specifically, the regional sign of goods and materials in this application embodiment has certain area occupied, and then can fill different colours, or different patterns, or different stripes distinguish different regional signs of goods and materials in to the regional sign of different goods and materials.

In a specific embodiment, the embodiment of the present application further includes: distinguishing and displaying material area identifications corresponding to virtual materials displayed in map areas corresponding to different target scene areas in the scene thumbnail map; and different target scene areas are used for putting virtual materials of different grades.

Specifically, the display form of the differential display includes at least one of the following items: display brightness, display shape, fill color.

In the above manner, the display forms for performing differentiated display on the material area identifiers in the map area of the scene thumbnail map corresponding to the target scene area where the virtual materials of different levels are located may include multiple forms, so as to implement differentiated display of different material area identifiers, so that the different material area identifiers have differentiation, which is helpful for a player to rapidly differentiate the material area identifiers of different levels displayed on the scene thumbnail map.

The following specifically explains that the display form includes display luminance, display shape, and fill color, respectively, and the display form includes at least two of the display luminance, the display shape, and the fill color:

firstly, when the display form is display brightness, the material area identifications in the map areas corresponding to the target scene areas where the virtual materials of different grades are located are displayed in a distinguishing mode through different display brightness.

Here, the display brightness refers to the luminous intensity of the material region identification per unit projected area of a surface in a given direction, wherein the given direction is a direction perpendicular to the graphic user interface. The display brightness may vary from very dark (brightness minimum) to very bright (brightness maximum).

According to the above-described characteristics of the display luminance, the display luminance may be divided into a plurality of luminance levels, and the luminance levels of the display luminance correspond one-to-one to the levels of the virtual materials in the target scene area. Wherein, the grade of the virtual material and the brightness grade of the display brightness are in positive correlation.

For example, it is assumed that the virtual materials for delivery to the target scene area include five levels, which are respectively a low-material level, a common-material level, a rare-material level, and a super-material level; and setting display brightness of different brightness levels for the five levels of virtual materials, wherein the identification brightness of the material area related to the super material level is the maximum, and the identification brightness of the material area related to the low material level is the minimum.

The material area identification is displayed through different display brightness, so that a player can distinguish different levels of virtual materials in different target scene areas, the player can conveniently make reasonable tactical deployment according to the current position of the player in the virtual scene, and the target scene area suitable for the player can be searched and scraped.

And secondly, when the display form is a display shape, distinguishing and displaying the material area identifications in the map areas corresponding to the target scene areas where the virtual materials of different grades are located through different display shapes.

Here, the display shape refers to the existence or representation form of the material region identification in the map region of the field Jing Sulve map, for example, the display shape may include a circle, a heart, a square, a pentagon, an irregular figure, or the like. Different display shapes can be adopted for distinguishing and displaying the material area identifications included in the target scene areas to which the virtual materials of different grades belong.

For example, it is assumed that the virtual materials for delivery to the target scene area include five levels, namely, a low-material level, a common-material level, a rare-material level, and a super-material level; for example, a circular icon may be used to represent a material region identifier corresponding to a target scene region to which a virtual material of a low material level belongs, and an irregular graphic icon may be used to represent a material region identifier corresponding to a target scene region to which a virtual material of a super material level belongs.

The material area identification in the map area corresponding to the target scene area where the virtual materials of different grades are located is displayed through different display shapes, and due to the fact that the difference between different display shapes is large, the different grades of the virtual materials in different target scene areas can be distinguished remarkably, and a player can know the grade of the virtual materials in the target scene area in time conveniently.

And thirdly, when the display form is filling color, distinguishing and displaying the material area identifications in the map areas corresponding to the target scene areas where the virtual materials of different grades are located through different filling colors.

Here, the fill color includes red, yellow, green, blue, purple, and the like. Because the material area identification has an area, in order to distinguish the material area identification corresponding to the virtual materials of different grades, different colors can be filled in the material area identification in the map area corresponding to the target scene area where the virtual materials of different grades are located.

For example, the material zone identifiers associated with the super material level are filled with red, and the material zone identifiers associated with the low ingredient material level are filled with yellow.

The material region identification corresponding to the target scene region where the virtual materials of different grades are located is displayed through different filling colors, and different grades of the virtual materials in different target scene regions can be distinguished remarkably due to the fact that different filling colors are different greatly, and players can know the grades of the virtual materials in different target scene regions conveniently in time.

In addition, any two of the display brightness, the display shape, and the fill color included in the display form may be displayed in combination, or three of them may be displayed in combination. If the material area identifications corresponding to the target scene areas where the virtual materials of different grades are located are displayed in a distinguishing manner through the display brightness and the filling color; or the material area identifications in the map areas corresponding to the target scene areas where the virtual materials of different grades are located are displayed in a distinguishing manner through the display brightness, the display shape and the filling color.

It should be noted that, the specific contents related to each display form described in the above description are also applicable to the embodiment in which at least two display forms are combined, and are not described again here.

Therefore, through the random combination of multiple display forms, the purpose of distinguishing and displaying different goods and materials regional identifications is obviously achieved, a player can easily distinguish the differences among the different goods and materials regional identifications, the player can timely know the levels of virtual goods and materials in target scene regions corresponding to the different goods and materials regional identifications, the player can conveniently make reasonable tactical deployment, and the game experience of the player is improved. And multiple different display forms can satisfy different players ' game demand, adapts to different players ' game habits, has promoted player's visual experience.

In a related scheme, in order to enable a player to better observe a position relationship between the player and a target scene area, an embodiment of the present application further includes:

displaying virtual object identifications corresponding to the virtual objects in a scene thumbnail map displayed in a graphical user interface; wherein the position of the virtual object identifier in the scene thumbnail map is updated in real time according to the movement of the virtual object in the virtual scene.

In this step, the player may control the virtual object to move to the target scene area according to the relative position between the virtual object identifier and the material area identifier displayed in the scene thumbnail map, and find the target scene area. Accordingly, the generating position of the virtual object identifier in the scene thumbnail map is determined according to the azimuth information of the virtual object in the virtual scene, wherein the generating position of the virtual object identifier in the scene thumbnail map corresponds to the azimuth information of the virtual object in the virtual scene.

Because the related games comprise a plurality of camps, each campt comprises a plurality of virtual objects, and all the virtual objects in the same campt belong to the teammate relationship. Specifically, on the field Jing Sulve map, the virtual object can see the orientation information of its teammates in the virtual scene, so that a plurality of virtual object identifiers can be displayed on the field Jing Sulve map at the same time, wherein the virtual objects corresponding to the virtual object identifiers displayed in the scene thumbnail map belong to the same camp. When the virtual object is eliminated, the virtual object identifier corresponding to the virtual object disappears from the scene thumbnail map.

Illustratively, the virtual object identification may include any one of: letter sign, characters sign, numeral sign, figure sign, special symbol sign for the convenience of player distinguishes virtual object sign and goods and materials regional sign, can set virtual object sign and goods and materials regional sign into different kinds of sign, if use different show shape to distinguish different goods and materials regional signs, use different colours to distinguish different virtual object signs to guarantee more audio-visual virtual object sign and goods and materials regional sign of demonstrateing to the player.

Therefore, while the material area identification is displayed in the field Jing Sulve map, the virtual object identification is displayed on the graphical user interface, so that the player can control the virtual object to move to the target scene area according to the relative position between the virtual object identification and the material area identification displayed in the scene thumbnail map, the moving speed and the moving accuracy of the virtual object to the target scene area can be improved, the player can quickly reach the target scene area, the player is prevented from missing the opportunity of entering the target scene area to search for the virtual material, and the man-machine interaction efficiency is indirectly improved.

For example, please refer to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of another graphical user interface provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 4, in a field Jing Sulve map 204, material area identifiers 205 and virtual object identifiers 206 are displayed, wherein the material area identifiers in the scene thumbnail map corresponding to target scene areas where virtual materials of different levels are located are displayed differently, as shown in fig. 4, the material area identifiers 205 include a first material area identifier 2051 (black circle), a second material area identifier 2052 (circle filled with partial black), and a third material area identifier 2053 (circle filled with grid), for the first material area identifier 2051 (black circle), the first material area identifier 2051 with the black circle filled completely represents that the first virtual material is moved to a target position of a virtual scene, and the second material area identifier 2052 with the black circle filled partially represents that the second virtual material is moved to the target position of the virtual scene from a preset height, wherein the material levels of the first virtual material and the second virtual material are the same; the third material area identifier 2053 for completely filling the grid with the circles represents that the third virtual material moves to the target position of the virtual scene, and the material grade of the third virtual material is different from that of the first virtual material. Wherein, the virtual object 201 is located in the virtual scene, and the player can control the virtual object 201 to move to the target scene area according to the relative position relationship between the material area identifier 205 and the virtual object identifier 206.

In order to enable a player to reasonably arrange the time for moving a virtual object controlled by the player to a target scene area to search virtual materials, the embodiment of the application adopts the following scheme:

displaying a timing control on a graphical user interface; the timing control is used for performing countdown display according to the moment when the virtual goods and materials are put in the virtual scene and the moment when the virtual goods and materials appear in the target scene area; and adjusting the display form of the material area identifier corresponding to the virtual material displayed in the map area corresponding to the target scene area in the scene thumbnail map according to the countdown displayed in the timing control.

The timing control is used for performing countdown display according to the time when the virtual materials are started to be put in the virtual scene and the time when the virtual materials appear in the target scene area, namely, countdown is started from the time when the virtual materials are started to be put in the virtual scene, countdown is finished at the time when the virtual materials appear in the target scene area, and the virtual materials appear in the target scene area are controlled.

Therefore, the timing control can perform countdown display according to the moment when the virtual goods and materials are put in the virtual scene and the moment when the virtual goods and materials appear in the target scene area, so that a player can accurately master the initial time when the virtual goods and materials appear in the target scene area, the time when the player moves to the target scene area is reasonably arranged, the purpose of searching the virtual goods and materials in the target scene area in time is achieved, the information prompting mode in a game is optimized, and human-computer interaction can be promoted.

Specifically, as the countdown time progress displayed in the timing control changes, the display form of the material area identifier in the scene thumbnail map also changes along with the countdown time progress change.

Here, when the display form is display brightness, the display brightness of the material area identifier in the scene thumbnail map is increased along with the time progress change of countdown displayed in the timing control; when the display form is a display shape, along with the change of the countdown time progress displayed in the timing control, the display shape of the material area identifier in the scene thumbnail map is larger and larger (from absent to present), wherein the proportion of the occupied area of the display shape of the material area identifier corresponding to the countdown ending moment to the total area of the scene thumbnail map is equal to a preset proportion threshold; when the display form is filling color, along with the change of the countdown time progress displayed in the timing control, the filling area of the material area identifier in the scene thumbnail map is larger and larger, wherein the filling area of the material area identifier corresponding to the countdown ending moment is equal to the occupied area of the material area identifier in the field Jing Sulve map. When the material area mark is filled, colors, patterns, stripes and the like can be adopted as fillers.

Illustratively, according to the countdown time progress displayed in the timing control, the material area identifier corresponding to the virtual material and displayed in the map area corresponding to the target scene area in the scene thumbnail map is filled by adopting the target color; the countdown time progress is in a correlation relation with the filling area of the material region identification, and the target color is determined according to the level of the virtual materials thrown in the target scene region.

Here, since the filling colors corresponding to the virtual materials of different levels are preset, the target color can be determined according to the level of the virtual materials put in the target scene area. In addition, the countdown time progress and the filling area of the material area identification are in positive correlation, so that the importance of distinguishing different material area identifications by highlighting the target color can be further highlighted.

Therefore, the player can accurately master the initial time for searching the virtual goods in the target scene area through the dynamic change of the filling color on the goods and materials area mark, the time wasted by searching when the player does not have the virtual goods and materials in the target scene area can be avoided, and the search efficiency of the player can be improved.

In another embodiment, the following specific description is made in the embodiment of the present application by taking the target scene area as a trigger area for triggering the display of the direction indicator on the graphical user interface as an example:

referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a flowchart of another game control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 5, a game control method provided in an embodiment of the present application includes:

s503, displaying material area identifications corresponding to virtual materials in a map area corresponding to a target scene area in a scene thumbnail map displayed in a graphical user interface;

s504, responding to the fact that the virtual object moves to the target scene area, displaying the direction guide identification on the graphical user interface, and controlling the indication direction of the direction guide identification according to the target position of the virtual material in the virtual scene; wherein the target location is not within the target scene area.

For the explanation of steps S501 to S503, reference may be made to the explanation of steps S301 to S303, and repeated descriptions are omitted.

In step S504, no virtual goods exist in the target scene area, and at this time, the target scene area is used as a trigger area for triggering the display of the direction indicator on the graphical user interface.

In the embodiment of the application, a player can search a target scene area in a virtual scene according to a material area identifier displayed on a graphical user interface, and after a virtual object moves to the target scene area, a direction guide identifier for guiding the virtual object to move towards the virtual material is displayed on the graphical user interface, that is, after the player finds the target scene area, direction information (direction guide identifier) for guiding the player to find the virtual material can be obtained, so that the player controls the virtual object to quickly search the virtual material in the virtual scene according to the direction guide identifier, the setting can promote the player to actively complete a designated task or actively move in the virtual scene to find the target scene area, and after the player finds the target scene area, the direction identifier for guiding the virtual object to move towards the virtual material is provided, so that the searching efficiency of the player on the virtual material is improved, the game progress is accelerated, and the man-machine interaction efficiency is improved.

In an optional embodiment, the embodiment of the present application further includes: and in response to the virtual goods and materials in the target scene area being picked up, controlling to delete the goods and materials area identification corresponding to the virtual goods and materials from the map area corresponding to the target scene area in the scene thumbnail map.
