Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein in the description of the present application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

In the game, in order to enrich the game experience of the player, a plurality of skills are set aiming at different roles or different playing methods. Each skill has its own unique trigger mode, skill effects such as action subject, action range, attack injury value, defense value, visual characteristics.

In order to facilitate the player to select a target skill suitable for his or her own situation, the player is usually first introduced with skill effects corresponding to various skills. At present, there are two common introduction ways, namely text description or video introduction.

In one aspect, in the related art, textual descriptions are used to introduce various skill effects to players for selection. However, the text introduction method is difficult to intuitively reflect the actual condition of skill effect, and is easy to cause misunderstanding for the player.

On the other hand, in order to avoid misunderstanding caused by description of the skill effect by characters, in the related art, the skill effect is introduced through a pre-recorded video. Because the storage space occupied by the video file is large, the data volume of the game installation file can be greatly increased, and pressure is brought to the distribution processing of the game installation file.

In addition, in the game client, due to the performance limitation of the playing device, the situation that the loading time is too long, and even the picture is stuck may occur when the pre-recorded video is played.

In order to solve at least one technical problem, a skill effect display scheme is provided in the embodiments of the present application.

The skill effect display scheme provided by the embodiment of the application can be executed by an electronic device, and the electronic device can be a terminal device such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, a PC, a notebook computer, and the like. In an alternative embodiment, the electronic device may have a service program installed thereon for executing the skill effect presentation scheme.

In the embodiment of the present application, the execution subject of the skill effect display scheme may be a game client or a server, or a game editor, or may be other electronic devices or application programs loaded on the electronic devices, which is not limited in the present application.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a skill effect demonstration method provided in an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 1, the method includes:

101. responding to a preset instruction aiming at the target skill in the game, and creating a black box space in a game scene;

102. selecting a target animation script matched with a preset instruction from animation scripts configured for various skills in a game in advance;

103. calling game resources in a game scene based on the target animation script to render a target animation containing a target skill in a black box space;

104. and displaying the target animation in the interactive interface of the game so as to realize the display of the target skill effect.

In the embodiment of the application, the game scene is the current scene of the virtual character. The primary consideration here is the first virtual character controlled by the player.

In practical application, the game scene changes with the game type. The game scene may be a high degree of freedom scene where all players are visible to each other, such as: and in the open world scene, the player can control the virtual character to freely walk in the open world and chat with other players. Alternatively, the game scene may be a single terrain scene, such as: the third person is called a battle room in the shooting game. Alternatively, the game scene may be a scene switched with the game scenario.

In the embodiment of the application, the preset instruction for a certain skill is mainly used for representing the viewing intention of a player for a target skill. Optionally, controls or instructions for triggering various skill introduction procedures are preconfigured in the game. For differentiation, the skill that the player intends to view is referred to as the target skill.

It is noted that the target skill may be a single skill or a combination of multiple skills. For example, the introduction page of each character is entered, and some skill effect that the character can use, such as opening a bow and an arrow, is viewed, or a skill combination that the character can use, such as a skill combination of sward attack and shield defense is also viewed.

In an alternative embodiment, the preset instructions may be player-triggered, such as preview instructions for the target skills. For example, fig. 2 shows a skill introduction interface in which a preview control of the target skill a is selected to trigger presentation of the effect of the target skill a. In practical application, the preview instruction may also be a skill viewing instruction, a professional skill browsing instruction, a role introduction instruction, and the like, which is not limited in the present application.

In another embodiment, the preset instruction may be automatically generated by the game client or the server. For example, the preset instruction may be a game level triggering instruction. In particular, it is assumed that in a certain game level or within a certain area in the game, the special skills of the current level or area binding can be used. In this case, if it is monitored that the player enters the current level or area, the game client or the server automatically generates a preview instruction of the special skill to introduce the skill effect of the special skill to the player.

Based on the preset instruction introduced above, the creation of the black box space in the game scene is triggered. The black box space is in a player-invisible area in the game scene.

Optionally, the black box space is located within a preset range centered on the origin in the game scene. Wherein the origin point generally refers to the birth location of the first virtual character in the game scene. Because the player usually controls the first virtual character to leave the origin, and the first camera (i.e., the virtual camera for shooting the virtual character) moving along with the first virtual character also leaves the origin, the black box space is arranged around the origin, so that the shooting of the space by the first camera can be effectively avoided, and the effect that the player is invisible can be achieved.

Further optionally, in order to acquire an image in the black box space, a virtual camera (for distinction, the virtual camera is also referred to as a second camera) for shooting the space is further provided in the black box space.

In practical application, optionally, the shooting angle of the second camera can be directly specified by the target animation script. Specifically, control parameters (such as camera parameters and spring arm parameters) of the second camera are set in the target animation script, so that the shooting angle of the virtual character scheduled by the second camera for the target animation script is set. The camera parameters are used for setting a shooting visual angle of the second camera, and the spring arm parameters are used for setting a position relation of the second camera relative to the virtual object.

Wherein, the shooting visual angle of the second camera can be controlled and set by the user through the control parameters. In an optional embodiment, it is assumed that the second camera includes a camera assembly and a spring arm assembly, based on which, for the second camera disposed in the black box space, in response to a control parameter input by a user for the second camera, an image capturing view angle of the second camera is adjusted by the control parameter, so that an optical axis of the second camera points to a virtual character in the black box space, and a pitch angle parameter of the optical axis of the second camera and the virtual character in the black box space in the same plane is determined as a target pitch angle parameter, thereby implementing a third nominal view angle for the virtual character.

Or, optionally, the shooting angle of the second camera may also be automatically adjusted according to the virtual character scheduled by the target animation script, for example, to follow the virtual character in the black box space, so as to capture the picture of the virtual character releasing the target skill. In an alternative embodiment, continuing with the assumption that the second camera includes a camera assembly and a spring arm assembly, based on which, for the second camera disposed in the black box space, the position in the black box space of the virtual character scheduled by the target animation script is obtained; and determining control parameters of the second camera according to the position of the virtual character, and adjusting the image acquisition visual angle of the second camera through the control parameters, so that the image acquired by the second camera always contains the virtual character, and the following visual angle for the movement of the virtual character is realized.

In addition to the above examples, the present application may also set the shooting angle of the second camera by other methods, which are not limited to this application, and are not exhaustive here.

It should be noted that the black box space includes game resources preset in the game scene. For example, game assets within the black box space, including but not limited to various game items, scenery, monsters NPC, scenarios NPC, and the like.

In the process of creating the black box space, optionally, game resources irrelevant to the target skill in the black box space are deleted, so that the game scene for displaying the target skill effect is visually distinguished from the common game scene, and the purpose of highlighting the target skill effect is achieved. For example, scenarios NPC, scenes, play items, etc., that are not related to the target skills are masked in black box space.

In another embodiment, part of game resources in the original game scene can be reserved in the black box space, so that the visual effect from the game scene to the black box space is prevented from being excessively split. For example, in the black box space, the brightness of part of game resources is reduced, or the transparency of part of game resources is increased, so that the transition from the game scene to the black box space is more natural through the game resources, and the black box space where the skill effect is introduced is prevented from being excessively separated from the original game scene.

Based on the preset instruction introduced above, a target animation script matched with the preset instruction is selected from animation scripts configured for various skills in the game in advance. Furthermore, after the black box space is created, game resources in the game scene are called based on the target animation script, so that the target animation containing the target skill is rendered in the black box space.

Wherein animation scripts configured for various skills in a game are optionally loaded in a game installation file or a game update file. In practical applications, in an optional embodiment, the process of obtaining the animation script configured for any skill may be to create a skill presentation animation (i.e., a target animation in the present application) in the game engine in advance through the scenario editor, and thereby output an animation script file corresponding to the skill. The file may be in json format, which is a format of animation script file, and the data size is usually about tens of KB, obviously far smaller than the skill introduction video.

Taking the game client as an example, animation scripts of various skills can be stored in the game client through the game installation package, so that after the preset instruction is detected, the game client calls a target animation script matched with the preset instruction.

It should be noted that, the matching here may be understood that the corresponding skill of the target animation script is consistent with the target skill called by the preset instruction intent. Optionally, a corresponding skill tag is marked for the animation script of each skill in advance, so that whether the skill tag marked by the current animation script is consistent with the skill tag contained in the preset instruction or not is judged, and if so, the animation script is determined to be the target animation script matched with the preset instruction.

And then, after the target animation script matched with the preset instruction is determined, executing the target animation script by using a plot animation system in the game so as to call game resources to restore the target animation in the black box space. In an alternative embodiment, invoking a game resource in a game scene based on a target animation script to render a target animation containing a target skill in a black box space may be implemented as:

obtaining game resources required to be called by each frame of image according to the target animation script, wherein the game resources comprise virtual objects in a game scene; rendering the called game resources into a black box space in sequence to obtain an interaction model comprising a virtual object; and acquiring an image of the virtual object executing the target skill from the interactive model through the virtual camera in the black box space to serve as the target animation.

In the steps, the game resources existing in the game are called through the target animation script, so that the computing resources consumed in the target animation playing process can be greatly reduced, and the target animation playing efficiency is further improved.

The virtual objects in the game scene include, but are not limited to: a first virtual character controlled by a player in a game, and/or a second virtual character interacting with the first virtual character. For example, the second virtual character, which may be an opponent NPC encountered by the first virtual character in the game, such as a monster NPC bound in black box space, or a monster NPC bound to a target skill; the second virtual character can also be other virtual characters which the first virtual character has interacted with in the game, such as image models of other players and encountered scenarios NPC. Optionally, the number of virtual objects switches according to the skill type. For example, if the target skill is a one-to-one fighting skill, the number of the second virtual characters is one; the target skill is a group, and the number of the second virtual characters is multiple.

The interaction model containing the virtual object can be set according to the target skill type. For example, the interaction model is a battle process model of a first avatar a and a second avatar b, as shown in fig. 2. In the battle process shown in fig. 2, the first virtual character a uses an attack skill (i.e., a target skill), thereby exhibiting an attack skill effect (including an effect object) in the battle process model. As another example, the interaction model may be a skill delivery model for a first avatar a to treat a second avatar b, as shown in FIG. 3. In the process shown in fig. 3, the first virtual character a uses a therapeutic skill (i.e., a target skill), and thus, a therapeutic skill effect (including an effect object) is exhibited in the model. For another example, the interaction model may be a team battle model in which a first avatar a vocally spells a spell to a second avatar b, as shown in fig. 4. In the process shown in fig. 4, the first avatar a uses a singing skill (i.e., target skill), thereby showing a singing skill effect (including scope, subject of action) in the model. The range of action of the above described techniques is indicated by the circles in the above described figures 2 to 4.

Next, in 104, the second camera shoots the target animation in the black box space, and the shooting result is rendered in the interactive interface of the game. Through the process, as the time axis of the target animation advances, a plurality of images shot by the second camera are rendered one by one in the interactive interface to form an animation effect containing the target skill effect.

In an optional embodiment, at least one frame of image is intercepted from the target animation, and the at least one frame of image comprises the effect of the virtual object on executing the target skill; and further converting the at least one frame of image into at least one preset format map, and rendering the map to the interactive interface.

Wherein, the default format map is assumed to be a Render Texture map. Based on this, in the above steps, converting at least one frame of image into at least one preset format map, and rendering the map into an interactive interface, the steps may be implemented as: converting a plurality of continuous images intercepted from the target animation in real time to obtain a plurality of Render Texture maps; and according to the animation time axis, sequentially using a plurality of Render Texture maps as UI pictures and rendering the UI pictures to an interactive interface of the game client so as to form a skill effect animation corresponding to the target skill. Besides, other formats of the map can be adopted to realize the rendering of the interactive interface.

Through the steps, due to the transfer mode of the Render Texture maps, the skill effect can be conveniently displayed in the UI, only one memory cache occupied by the Render Texture map is added, and the storage space occupied by the game installation package is greatly reduced.

In this way, the game client calls game resources, and the generated Render Texture map is rendered in real time to the interactive interface of the game client, so as to form an animation effect containing the target skill effect.

In this embodiment, because the black box space is in the game scene, the game resources that the target animation called are also in the game scene, can reflect the target skill effect directly perceived through show the target animation in game interactive interface, realize the real-time show to the target skill effect, improve the display efficiency of skill effect greatly, promote player experience. In addition, the storage space occupied by the animation scripts configured for the target skill is far smaller than that of the video files, so that the problem that the game installation files are too large due to the fact that the videos are introduced through the skill storage effect can be effectively solved, and the distribution processing pressure of the game installation files is greatly reduced.

In the above or the following embodiments, optionally, a scenario editor configures a corresponding skill exhibition animation for each skill in the game; and converting the skill display animation corresponding to each skill into an animation script.

The animation scripts of all skills are used for enabling the virtual objects in the game scene to execute the current skills according to the preset skill logic. In practical applications, the animation script matched with each skill includes, but is not limited to, any one or combination of virtual objects for executing the skill, the number of interactive objects corresponding to the skill, the skill action range, the skill effect expression, the hit effect expression and the animation duration.

Specifically, for each skill in the game, a skill presentation animation corresponding to the skill is created in advance within the game engine by the scenario editor. And outputting the skill exhibition animation into an animation script file in a json format for transmission, so that game resources are called according to the animation script file in the game, and the skill exhibition animation (namely the target animation) is restored in a black box space. The animation script file is a logic script which is actually used for calling game resources existing in a game without using extra resources, so that the skill display animation can be restored in the game only by carrying the script file in the game installation package, and the storage space occupied by the game installation package is greatly reduced. Optionally, the animation script of any skill is reconfigured by the scenario editor to update the skill effect of any skill in the game scene, so that hot update of the skill effect introduction model is realized, and the update efficiency of the skill effect introduction model is improved.

In practical applications, the editing form of the skill presentation animation is similar to that of a conventional scenario animation, and optionally, the following information may be configured by the scenario editor: the method comprises the following steps of executing virtual objects of skills, the number of interaction objects conforming to the skills, the skill action range, skill effect expression, hit effect expression, animation duration and arrangement of animation time axes.

In the foregoing or the following embodiments, optionally, for a plurality of different types of skill effects, animation script files for implementing different visual feature effects are respectively created for animation script modules constituting different skill effects according to visual features of the skill effects.

In this embodiment, animation script files corresponding to the same type of skill effect may be further generated in batch according to the skill type. In practical application, for batch creation scenes with the same type of skills, the configuration information can be packaged into logic data modules (namely animation script modules), so that the logic data modules can be mutually called in animation scripts corresponding to the same type of skills, and the animation script configuration efficiency is further improved.

It should be noted that the execution subjects of the steps of the methods provided in the above embodiments may be the same device, or different devices may be used as the execution subjects of the methods. For example, the execution subjects of steps 101 to 104 may be device a; for another example, the execution subject of steps 101 and 102 may be device a, and the execution subject of steps 103 and 104 may be device B; and so on.

In addition, in some of the flows described in the above embodiments and the drawings, a plurality of operations are included in a specific order, but it should be clearly understood that the operations may be executed out of the order presented herein or in parallel, and the sequence numbers of the operations, such as 101, 102, 103, 104, etc., are merely used to distinguish various operations, and the sequence numbers themselves do not represent any execution order.
