Wherein the first virtual material held by the first virtual character before replacement can be configured to the target virtual character.

Specifically, for example, in a chicken-eating game, the first virtual character may be manipulated by the current user to collect virtual material while playing the game for game play. Therefore, after replacement, the collected virtual materials need to be configured to the target virtual roles, so that the target virtual roles can keep holding.

In some embodiments, the step of configuring the first virtual asset to the target virtual character comprises:

(1.1) obtaining a virtual material category belonging to a first type of configuration mode, wherein the virtual material category is configurable by the target virtual role;

(1.2) screening configurable virtual materials corresponding to each virtual material category from the first virtual materials;

(1.3) determining target virtual materials corresponding to each virtual material category from the configurable virtual materials according to the virtual material priority;

(1.4) configuring the target virtual asset for the target virtual character.

The virtual materials collected in the virtual scene can be divided into virtual materials which can be assembled by the virtual roles and belong to a first type of configuration mode, such as virtual material types which can be assembled by weapons, defense tools and the like, and virtual materials which can only be carried and belong to a second type of configuration mode, such as portable virtual material types of medicines and the like, which can not be assembled. The first type of configuration is thus assembled and the second type of configuration is portable.

Specifically, virtual material types belonging to a first type of configuration mode, which are configurable by the target virtual character, are obtained, and configurable virtual materials corresponding to each virtual material type are screened out from the first virtual materials. For example, the virtual material types to which the target virtual character can be assembled are weapons and clothes, and the first virtual material includes medicines, weapons 1, weapons 2, and clothes 1. The virtual supplies may be assembled as weapon 1, weapon 2, and garment 1. The target virtual materials in each virtual material category are determined according to the virtual material priority, for example, the priority of weapon 1 is higher than the priority of weapon 2, and weapon 1 is the target virtual material in the virtual weapon category. And assembles weapon 1 and garment 1 for the target avatar.

In some embodiments, after the step of configuring the target virtual asset for the target virtual character, further comprising:

(1.1) determining configurable virtual supplies belonging to a second type of configuration mode based on the target virtual supplies and the first virtual supplies;

(1.2) configuring virtual supplies belonging to a second type of configuration mode for the target virtual character.

And the target virtual materials are removed from the first virtual materials, the rest virtual materials are portable virtual materials, and the target virtual roles are controlled to carry the portable virtual materials.

For example, the first virtual supplies include medicines, weapons 1, weapons 2, and clothing 1. The target virtual materials are weapon 1 and clothes 1, and the portable virtual materials are weapon 2 and medicine. The control target avatar carries the weapon 2 and the drug.

In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

acquiring first virtual materials owned by the first virtual character, acquiring target character information of the target virtual character,

(1) Determining a first designated material in the first virtual material;

(2) Determining a second designated material corresponding to the target role information under the material category according to the material category of the first designated material;

(3) And configuring the second designated material to the target virtual character.

The target character information is occupation information of the target virtual character, and the like, for example, the occupation of the target virtual character is a cutter. The first specified material refers to virtual material with occupation limitation such as weapon, armour and the like. For example, weapons can be categorized as knives, swords, guns, etc., and the armour worn by the knifes, swords, guns, etc. are different. The sword can not be worn by the cutter, and the tool of the gun-wearing passenger can only be worn by the cutter, and the tool of the cutter-wearing passenger is worn. And the material types of weapon defense are different, and the advanced knives and the common-grade knives exist in the knives. Therefore, according to the material category of the first appointed material, a second appointed material corresponding to the target role information under the material category can be determined, and the second appointed material is allocated to the target virtual role.

For example, the first virtual role is a sword, the target virtual role is a sword, and a high-level sword exists in the first virtual material corresponding to the sword, and in the association process, the class of the sword corresponding to the sword is determined to be the high-level sword according to the class of the sword, and the high-level sword is configured as the sword.

In some embodiments, after the step of displaying the target virtual character at the position corresponding to the first scene position information in the virtual scene, the method further includes:

(1.1) obtaining user information of the current user;

(1.2) determining first character attribute information of the current user for the target virtual character according to the user information;

(1.3) configuring the first persona attribute information for the target persona.

The corresponding virtual character attributes of the same virtual character under different accounts are different, so that user information of the current user needs to be acquired, and the user information is the account corresponding to the current user. And determining first character attribute information of the current user aiming at the target virtual character according to the user information, and configuring the first character attribute information for the target virtual character.

Specifically, the target virtual character may have attribute information of the virtual character such as an attack force and a defense force, and if the attack force of the first virtual character under the account corresponding to the current user is 50 and the defense force is 80, the attack force 50 and the defense force 80 are configured to the target virtual character.

In step 104, the target virtual character is controlled to play a game in the virtual scene in response to the control operation for the target virtual character.

When the association flow of step 103 is finished, the user may continue to control the target virtual character through the control operation for the first terminal device, so as to implement game play of the target virtual character in the virtual scene.
