The first slave object is a calling object associated with the first master object and is used for assisting the first master object to interact with other virtual objects in the virtual scene, wherein the images can be virtual characters, virtual animals, cartoon characters, virtual props, virtual carriers and the like.

Step 102: in response to a first instruction for the first slave object, the first slave object is controlled to be adsorbed on the first master object.

In some embodiments, the terminal device may control the first slave object to be adsorbed on the first master object in response to the first instruction for the first slave object by: in response to a first instruction for the first slave object, the first slave object in the initial form is summoned, and the first slave object in the initial form is deformed into the first form, and the first slave object in the first form is adsorbed onto the first master object to become a part of the first master object model is displayed.

In practical application, the terminal device may display a calling control for calling the first slave object in an interface of the virtual scene, respond to a triggering operation for the calling control, receive a calling instruction (i.e. a first instruction), respond to the calling instruction, generate and send a calling request for the first slave object to the server, wherein the calling request carries an object identifier of the first slave object to be called, the server determines relevant parameters of the first slave object requested by the calling request based on the calling request, and pushes the determined relevant parameters of the first slave object to the terminal device, so that the terminal device performs picture rendering based on the relevant parameters, and displays a rendered calling picture, such as displaying the first slave object in the calling initial form, and displaying a process that the first slave object in the initial form is converted into the first slave object in the first form and the first slave object in the first form is attached to the first master object, such as displaying a wild image and then displaying a wild image and a fragment of the first slave object attached to the first master object.

Typically, the assistance that the first slave object in the different forms brings to the first master object is different, for example, the first slave object in the initial form may be an independent avatar located at a distance around the first master object, and when the first master object moves in the virtual scene, the first slave object in the initial form moves following the movement of the first master object; after the first slave object in the initial form is summoned and before the first slave object is changed from the initial form to the first form, the terminal device can also control the initial form to detect a target area centering on the first slave object in the virtual scene, and when the target object (such as a second virtual object or virtual material) is detected, indication information of the detected target object is displayed. The first slave object in the first form is attached to the arm of the first master object, and the first slave object in the first form is less easily perceived by the second virtual object relative to the first slave object in the initial form, so that when the first slave object in the first form is controlled to perform object detection or resource detection in the virtual scene, valuable information such as the position where the second virtual object is located, the surrounding resource distribution and the like is more beneficial to detection or detection, and further the interaction capacity of the first master object can be improved.

In some embodiments, the terminal device may control the first slave object of the first modality to perform object reconnaissance on the virtual scene in response to the first slave object of the first modality being attached to the first master object; when a second virtual object having an hostile relationship with the first main object is detected within a third range of the first main object, the third range may be a circular range area with the first main object as a center and a target distance as a radius, or may be a sector range area with the first main object as a vertex, the target distance as a radius, and the target angle as a central angle, or may be a range area of other shapes (such as irregular), and the shape of the third range is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In practical application, the terminal device can control the first slave object in the first form to assist the first master object to interact with the second virtual object in the different virtual object groups of the first master object in the virtual scene, so in order to acquire the position information of the second virtual object, the first slave object in the first form can be controlled to conduct object detection on the virtual scene, in practical application, the second virtual object (such as other virtual objects or non-user roles in different groups with the first master object, collectively called as the second virtual object) in the virtual scene is bound with a collision device (such as a collision box, a collision ball and the like), and in the process of controlling the first slave object in the first form to conduct object detection on the virtual scene, a detection ray is emitted from the first slave object along the direction of the first master object or the first slave object through the camera device on the first slave object, and when the detection ray intersects with the collision device bound on the second virtual object, the first slave object is determined to detect the second virtual object; when the detected ray does not intersect with the collider component bound to the second virtual object, the first slave object is determined to not detect the second virtual object, when the second virtual object is detected, early warning is sent out for the second virtual object, and position information of the second virtual object, such as the distance and the direction of the second virtual object relative to the first master object, is displayed in a map of the virtual scene.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic scout diagram provided by the embodiment of the present application, where a first slave object in a first form is controlled to perform object scout in a virtual scene, and when a second virtual object is scout in a third range centered on the first master object or the first slave object, position information of the second virtual object, that is, a distance and a direction of the second virtual object relative to the first master object, is displayed in a map of the virtual scene; in addition, the position information of the second virtual object displayed in the map can be also used for viewing all virtual objects in the group to which the first main object belongs. After the position information of the second virtual object is acquired, the terminal equipment is convenient to control the first main object, or the terminal equipment corresponding to each virtual object in the group to which the first main object belongs adopts the most suitable interaction strategy to interact with the second virtual object, so that the interaction capability of the first main object or the group to which the first main object belongs is improved.

Step 103: and displaying indication information corresponding to the virtual material when the first slave object detects the virtual material in the first range of the first master object.

The first range may be a circular range area with the first main object as the center and the target distance as the radius, or a fan-shaped range area with the first main object as the vertex, the target distance as the radius and the target angle as the central angle, or may be a range area with other shapes (such as irregularities), and the shape of the first range is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

The material detection skill is a skill for detecting materials, when a first slave object has the material detection skill, the terminal equipment can control the first slave object in a first form to detect materials of a virtual scene through the material detection skill, in practical application, a collision device component (such as a collision box, a collision ball and the like) is bound to the virtual materials, in the process of controlling the first slave object to detect materials of the virtual scene, a detection ray is emitted from the first slave object along the direction of the first master object through a camera component on the first slave object, and when the detection ray intersects with the collision device component bound to the virtual materials, the virtual materials are determined to be detected by the first slave object; when the detected ray does not intersect a collider component bound to the virtual asset, then it is determined that the virtual asset was not detected by the first slave object.

Virtual materials that can be detected by the materials detection skills include, but are not limited to: gold coin, construction material (e.g., ore), food material, weaponry, equipment, or character upgrade material. When the first slave object detects the virtual material in the virtual scene, indicating information of the corresponding virtual material is displayed, the terminal equipment can control the first master object or other virtual objects in the group to which the first master object belongs to pick up or mine the detected virtual material based on the indicating information of the virtual material, and can control the first master object or other virtual objects in the group to which the first master object belongs to upgrade self equipment or build a virtual building based on the picked up or mined virtual material, so that the interaction capacity, such as attack capacity or defense capacity, of the first master object or other virtual objects in the group to which the first master object belongs in the virtual scene is improved.

In some embodiments, the terminal device may display the indication information of the corresponding virtual material when the virtual material is detected in the virtual scene by: when the virtual materials are detected in a first range which takes a first main object as a center in the virtual scene, displaying type indication information of the virtual materials at the position of the virtual materials in the first range, and displaying position indication information of the virtual materials in a map corresponding to the virtual scene; at least one of the category indication information and the position indication information is used as indication information of the corresponding virtual material.

Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of detection provided in the embodiment of the present application, when a first slave object in a first form detects a virtual object in a first range centered on a first master object (or a first slave object) in a virtual scene, category indication information of the virtual object, such as equipment, construction, defense, etc., is displayed at a location where the virtual object is located, location information of the virtual object, such as a distance and a direction of the virtual object relative to the first master object or other virtual objects in a group to which the first master object belongs, is displayed in a map of the virtual scene, and the terminal device may control the first master object or other virtual objects in the group to which the first master object belongs to pick up the virtual object based on the indication information of the virtual object, so as to improve interaction capability of the terminal device.

In some embodiments, the terminal device may display the indication information of the corresponding virtual material by: when the number of the virtual materials is at least two, displaying the indication information of the first number of the virtual materials in the at least two virtual materials by adopting a first display mode, and displaying the indication information of the second number of the virtual materials in the at least two virtual materials by adopting a second display mode; the first display style is different from the second display style, the first display style represents that the first quantity of virtual materials are located in the visual field range of the first main object, and the second display style represents that the second quantity of virtual materials are located outside the visual field range of the first main object.

Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of detection provided in the embodiment of the present application, when a plurality of virtual materials detected by a first slave object in a virtual scene in a first aspect are detected, indication information of the virtual materials in the visual field range and the visual field range can be displayed by adopting different display styles (such as different colors, different brightness, etc.) according to whether the virtual materials are in the visual field range of the first master object. It will be appreciated that as the field of view of the first primary object changes, the display style of each virtual asset may change as the field of view of the first primary object changes. Therefore, the indication information of the virtual materials in the first main object visual field range is displayed by adopting different display modes, the player can be given a remarkable prompt, and the first main object is controlled to select and pick up the proper virtual materials, so that the interaction capability of the player is improved.

In some embodiments, the terminal device may display the indication information of the corresponding virtual material by: when the types of the virtual materials comprise at least two types, displaying the indication information of the virtual materials of the target type in the at least two types of virtual materials by adopting a third display mode, and displaying the indication information of the virtual materials of other types except the target type in the at least two types of virtual materials by adopting a fourth display mode; the third display style is different from the fourth display style, and the third display style characterizes the picking priority of the virtual materials of the target type and is higher than the picking priority of the virtual materials of other types.

When the types of the detected virtual props are multiple, displaying the indication information of the virtual supplies of the corresponding types by adopting different display modes according to different pickup priorities, particularly highlighting the indication information of the virtual supplies of the type with the highest pickup priorities, so that the virtual props of the target type with the highlighted pickup priorities can be controlled to be picked up by the virtual objects; therefore, the virtual materials of the target type most needed by the first main object are selected from the plurality of detected virtual materials, and the interaction capability of the first main object is improved.

In actual implementation, the virtual supplies of the target type may be determined by: based on the use preference of the first main object, acquiring the matching degree of each type of virtual material and the use preference, and selecting the virtual material corresponding to the highest matching degree as the indication information of the virtual material of the target type for highlighting; for example, the types of virtual supplies detected include: the method comprises the steps of predicting the use preference of a first main object, namely the preference, the proficiency degree and the like of the first main object on various types of virtual materials according to the role of the first main object in a virtual scene or the virtual materials of the historical use type of the first main object through a neural network model, respectively determining the matching degree of the virtual materials of the equipment class and the use preference, the matching degree of the virtual materials of the construction class and the use preference and the matching degree of the virtual materials of the defense class and the use preference based on the use preference of the first main object, selecting the virtual materials of the defense class with the highest matching degree from the virtual materials, and highlighting the indication information of the virtual materials of the screened defense class. In addition, according to at least one parameter of consumption degree, pick-up difficulty coefficient, distance between the first main object and the other virtual materials, the indication information of the virtual materials is highlighted by screening the virtual materials of the target type which is most suitable for the first main object from the virtual materials of multiple types, so that the virtual materials of the target type which is most favored, most needed and most suitable for the first main object are screened from the detected multiple virtual materials, and the interaction capability of the first main object is improved.

In some embodiments, the terminal device may further control the first slave object to be detached from the first master object and deformed into the first form in response to the second instruction for the first slave object, and control the first slave object in the first form to perform material detection on the virtual scene; responsive to the first slave object detecting the virtual asset within the second range of the first slave object, displaying indication information corresponding to the virtual asset.

Here, when the terminal device receives the second instruction (for restoring the first slave object to the original state) for the first eating object, the first slave object can be controlled to be detached from the first master object and deformed to be in the first form (such as the original form), for example, fragments on an arm of the first master object are controlled to be detached and moved to a target position and converted into a strange of the cartoon image at the target position, and the first slave object in the first form (such as the strange of the cartoon image) is controlled to continuously perform material detection on the virtual scene; and when the first slave object detects the virtual material in the second range of the first slave object, displaying the indication information of the corresponding virtual material.

In some embodiments, the terminal device may receive a third instruction for the first slave object of the first modality; in response to a third instruction, controlling the first slave object to be detached from the first master object and deformed into a first form, and controlling the first slave object to be deformed from the first form into a second form; wherein the second aspect corresponds to an avatar of a third virtual object in the virtual scene that is located within a fourth range centered on the first slave object; controlling the first slave object of the second form to move in the virtual scene so as to perform object reconnaissance on the virtual scene; in response to the first slave object detecting the fourth virtual object in the virtual scene, displaying position information of the fourth virtual object in a map of the corresponding virtual scene; wherein the third virtual object and the fourth virtual object each have an hostile relationship with the first host object.

The third instruction is also called a mimicry instruction, and the mimicry instruction can be triggered by triggering a mimicry control, for example, the terminal device can display the mimicry control for the first slave object in an interface of the virtual scene, respond to the triggering operation for the mimicry control, receive the mimicry instruction, respond to the mimicry instruction, generate and send a mimicry request for the first slave object to a server, wherein the mimicry request carries an object identification of the first slave object, the server determines relevant parameters of the first slave object requested to perform mimicry by the mimicry request (such as a non-user character near the first slave object or other virtual objects located in different groups with the first master object, collectively called a third virtual object), and pushing the determined relevant parameters of the first slave object to the terminal equipment so as to enable the terminal equipment to conduct picture rendering based on the relevant parameters, and displaying a rendered calling picture, namely displaying a process of converting the first slave object from the first form to the initial form, and displaying a process of converting the first slave object in the initial form to the first slave object in the second form, such as firstly displaying an animation of converting fragments attached to the arm of the first master object into a cartoon figure (the cartoon moves to other positions after being separated from the arm of the first master object), and displaying the cartoon figure of the cartoon figure into the animation of the first slave object consistent with the figure of the second virtual object.

In the case that the first slave object is changed into the image corresponding to the third virtual object, the terminal equipment can display a movement control for the first slave object in the second form in an interface of the virtual scene, when the user triggers the movement control, the terminal equipment responds to a movement instruction triggered by the triggering operation to control the first slave object in the second form to move in the virtual scene and conduct object reconnaissance on the virtual scene in the moving process, in the practical application, a collision device (such as a collision box, a collision ball and the like) is bound to the virtual object in the virtual scene, in the process of controlling the first slave object in the second form to conduct object reconnaissance on the virtual scene, a detection ray is emitted from the first slave object along the direction of the first slave object through a camera assembly on the first slave object, and when the detection ray intersects with the collision device bound to the virtual object, the first slave object is determined to be reconnaissance on the virtual object; when the detected ray does not intersect a collider component bound to the virtual object, then it is determined that the virtual object is not detected by the first slave object.

In some embodiments, the terminal device may control the first slave object to directly change from the first modality to the second modality in response to the third instruction for the first slave object of the first modality, so as to improve the mimicry efficiency.

Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of a morphology change of a first slave object provided in an embodiment of the present application, first, a terminal device displays a first slave object in a summoned initial morphology in response to a summoned instruction (first instruction), and displays a process of converting the first slave object in the initial morphology into the first slave object in the first morphology and attaching the first slave object in the first morphology to a first master object, such as displaying a monster of a summoned cartoon image first, and then displaying an animation that the monster of the cartoon image becomes fragments and the fragments attach to an arm of the first master object; then, the terminal device displays that the fragments attached to the arm of the first master object are detached from the arm in response to the mimicry instruction (third instruction), and displays that the detached fragments are mimicked directly at other positions to the animation of the first slave object corresponding to the avatar of the third virtual object (i.e., the first slave object of the second form).

In this way, the first slave object is simulated to be in a form corresponding to (e.g. consistent with) the image of the third virtual object, and the first slave object in a form consistent with the image of the third virtual object is not easy to be perceived by the enemy virtual object, so that when the first slave object in the first form is controlled to perform object detection or resource detection in the virtual scene, valuable information such as the position where the enemy virtual object is located, the surrounding resource distribution and the like is more beneficial to detection or detection, and the interaction capability of the first master object can be improved.

In some embodiments, when the number of the third virtual objects is at least two, the terminal device may determine the second state to be mimicked by: displaying a form selection interface, and displaying forms corresponding to at least two selectable third virtual objects in the form selection interface; and responding to a selection operation of the morphology of the target virtual object in the at least two third virtual objects, and taking the morphology of the selected target virtual object as a second morphology. Therefore, the user can manually select the mimicry form of the first slave object, and the operation experience of the user is further improved.

For example, the terminal device receives a mimicry command in response to a trigger operation for a mimicry control, generates and sends a mimicry request for a first slave object to the server in response to the mimicry command, wherein the mimicry request carries an object identifier of the first slave object, the server detects a third virtual object in a fourth range centering on the first slave object in a virtual scene based on the mimicry request, returns a detection result to the terminal device, when the number of the detected third virtual objects represented by the detection result is a plurality of, displays a morphology selection interface in an interface of the virtual scene, displays morphologies corresponding to at least two selectable third virtual objects in the morphology selection interface, such as a morphology of the third virtual object 1, a morphology of the third virtual object 2 and a morphology of the third virtual object 3, a user can select the morphology of the plurality of third virtual objects displayed in the morphology selection interface, and the terminal device determines the morphology of the third virtual object 2 of the user to be the second morphology of the first slave object.

In some embodiments, the terminal device may predict the second shape by: acquiring scene data of a third area in the corresponding virtual scene; wherein the scene data includes at least one of: a non-user role in the fourth scope, other virtual objects in the fourth scope; calling a machine learning model to conduct prediction processing based on the scene data to obtain a second form; the machine learning model is obtained by training based on scene data in a sample range and a labeled mimetic; in this way, the form of the first slave object capable of maximally improving the interaction capability of the first master object or the group to which the first master object belongs is predicted by calling the machine learning model, so that the prediction accuracy is improved, the enemy is subjected to maximum interference, and the interaction capability of the first master object or the group to which the first master object belongs is further improved.

In practical application, the machine learning model may be a neural network model (such as a convolutional neural network, a deep convolutional neural network, or a fully-connected neural network), a decision tree model, a gradient lifting tree, a multi-layer perceptron, a support vector machine, and the like, and the type of the machine learning model is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In some embodiments, before displaying the position information of the fourth virtual object in the map corresponding to the virtual scene, the terminal device may further control the first slave object of the second aspect to perform a scout mark on the fourth virtual object to highlight the fourth virtual object.

Here, in the case that the first slave object is simulated to be consistent with the image of the third virtual object, the terminal device may display a scout control for the first slave object in the second state in an interface of the virtual scene, when the user triggers the scout control, the terminal device controls the first slave object in the second state to move in the virtual scene in response to a scout instruction triggered by the trigger operation, so as to perform object scout on the virtual scene, in practical application, a fourth virtual object (such as a non-user role or other virtual object located in a different group with the first master object, and collectively referred to as a fourth virtual object) in the virtual scene is bound with a collider component (such as a collision box, a collision ball, etc.), during object scout on the virtual scene by the first slave object in the second state is controlled, a detection ray is emitted from the first slave object along the direction of the first slave object through the camera component on the first slave object, and when the detection ray intersects with the collider component bound on the fourth virtual object, the first slave object is determined to be the fourth slave object; when the detected ray does not intersect a collider component bound to the fourth virtual object, then it is determined that the fourth virtual object is not detected by the first slave object.

In some embodiments, the terminal device may control the first slave object of the second modality to scout the fourth virtual object to highlight the fourth virtual object by: controlling a first slave object in the second form to lock a fourth virtual object, and acquiring the distance between the first slave object and the fourth virtual object; when the distance between the first slave object and the fourth virtual object exceeds the target distance for performing the reconnaissance mark, the terminal equipment can also control the first slave object in the second form to move to the position where the fourth virtual object is located at the target speed until the distance between the first slave object and the fourth virtual object does not exceed the target distance for performing the reconnaissance mark; when the distance between the first slave object and the fourth virtual object does not exceed the target distance for performing the reconnaissance mark, controlling the first slave object of the second form to emit an emission object to the fourth virtual object; when the fourth virtual object is hit by the emission object, special effect elements are displayed in the association range of the fourth virtual object so as to highlight the fourth virtual object.

Here, when the second virtual object is detected, the terminal device may first control the first slave object in the second form to lock the fourth virtual object detected, and detect the distance between the first slave object and the fourth virtual object, when the distance between the first slave object and the fourth virtual object is greater than the target distance for performing the detection mark (which may be set according to the actual situation), control the first slave object to track the fourth virtual object at a faster moving speed, and when the distance between the first slave object and the fourth virtual object does not exceed the target distance for performing the detection mark, control the first slave object to emit the emission, for example, see fig. 7, fig. 7 is a schematic diagram for detection provided by an embodiment of the present application, control the first slave object to release the aiming infrared ray or the laser, where the distance between the aiming infrared ray or the laser corresponds to the distance between the first slave object and the second slave object, and changes with the change of the distance between the first slave object and the second slave object, when an emission object (aiming infrared ray or laser) hits a impactor component (such as an impact box, an impact ball and the like) bound with a fourth virtual object, determining that the fourth virtual object is hit, at this time, displaying special effect elements in an association range of the hit fourth virtual object, for example, displaying the added special effect elements on the periphery of wrapping the fourth virtual object, wherein the special effect elements can change skin materials, colors and the like of the fourth virtual object so as to highlight the fourth virtual object, for all members of the first main object or a group to which the first main object belongs to view the position information of the fourth virtual object, so that in the case of acquiring the position information of the fourth virtual object, the virtual object of the first main object or the group to which the first main object belongs is beneficial to making an interaction strategy capable of causing the maximum damage to the fourth virtual object, and executing corresponding interaction operation according to the interaction strategy, thereby improving the interaction capability of the first main object or all members in the group to which the first main object belongs.

In some embodiments, after the terminal device controls the first slave object in the second form to perform the scout marking on the fourth virtual object, in response to the first slave object in the second form being attacked by the fifth virtual object, the first slave object can be controlled to recover from the second form to the initial form, and the first slave object in the initial form is controlled to release the marking wave around, so that the fourth virtual object is continuously scout marked by the marking wave, and the position information of the fourth virtual object is displayed in the map corresponding to the virtual scene.

Referring to fig. 8, fig. 8 is a schematic scout diagram provided in the embodiment of the present application, after a first slave object in a second form performs a scout mark on a second virtual object to highlight a fourth virtual object (i.e. successfully scout the mark to a target), a terminal device responds to an attack of the first slave object in the second form by a fifth virtual object (any enemy), and may further control the first slave object to return from the second form to an initial form (e.g. control the form of the first slave object to change from a second form consistent with the image of the fourth virtual object to an initial form of an animation image), and control the first slave object in the initial form to release a mark wave (e.g. a pulse wave) to a surrounding or the fourth virtual object, and display the position information of the fourth virtual object in a map of a virtual scene through the mark wave, so that the position information of the fourth virtual object is viewed by the first master object or a virtual object in a group to which the first master object belongs.

In some embodiments, in the process of controlling the first slave object in the second form to perform reconnaissance marking on the fourth virtual object, when the fourth virtual object moves in the virtual scene, the terminal device may receive a tracking instruction of the first slave object in the second form for the fourth virtual object; and responding to the tracking instruction, controlling the first slave object of the second form to track the fourth virtual object along the tracking direction indicated by the tracking instruction, and controlling the first slave object of the second form to continuously scout the fourth virtual object.

After the first slave object highlights the detected fourth virtual object, if the fourth virtual object moves in the virtual scene, the first slave object is controlled to track the fourth virtual object, that is, the first slave object moves along with the movement of the fourth virtual object, and the first slave object is continuously controlled to continuously snoop the fourth virtual object, that is, the first slave object is controlled to continuously release aiming infrared rays or laser to the fourth virtual object so as to always highlight the fourth virtual object, and the fourth virtual object is exposed in the visual field range of the first master object or the virtual object in the group to which the first master object belongs, so that an interaction strategy capable of causing the maximum damage to the fourth virtual object is formed by the first master object or the virtual object in the group to which the first master object belongs is facilitated, and corresponding interaction operation is executed according to the interaction strategy, so that the interaction capability of the first master object or the group to which the first master object belongs is improved.

In some embodiments, the terminal device may display a picture of movement of the fourth virtual object in the virtual scene during the process of controlling the first slave object in the second state to perform the scout mark on the fourth virtual object; when the fourth virtual object moves to the target position blocked by the obstacle, the fourth virtual object at the target position is perspective.

Referring to fig. 9, fig. 9 is a schematic scout diagram provided in the embodiment of the present application, after a first slave object highlights a scout mark of a scout fourth virtual object, if the fourth virtual object moves in a virtual scene and moves to a place blocked by an obstacle (such as a wall), the fourth virtual object blocked by the obstacle is seen through, that is, even if the fourth virtual object is blocked by the obstacle, the fourth virtual object is still highlighted, so that the fourth virtual object blocked by the obstacle is visible with respect to the first master object or all virtual objects in a group to which the first master object belongs, and position information of the fourth virtual object can be displayed in a map of the virtual scene, so that the second virtual object is always exposed in a view range of the first master object or all virtual objects in the group to which the first master object belongs, which all members in the first master object belongs are beneficial to making an interaction policy capable of causing maximum damage to the second virtual object, and executing a corresponding interaction policy according to the interaction policy, thereby improving interaction efficiency of the first master object or the first master object and improving the interaction capability of the first master object.

In some embodiments, the terminal device may implement, when the fourth virtual object is detected in the virtual scene, a scout flag for the fourth virtual object by controlling the first slave object of the second aspect: when an obstacle is detected in the virtual scene, controlling the first slave object of the second form to release pulse waves to the obstacle; when it is determined that the obstacle shields the fourth virtual object based on the pulse wave, the first slave object in the second form is controlled to perform reconnaissance marking on the fourth virtual object, and the fourth virtual object is seen through.

In practical application, the collision device component (such as a collision box and a collision ball) is bound to the obstacle, in the process of controlling the first slave object to perform object detection in the virtual scene, whether the obstacle exists in the virtual scene or not can be detected first, for example, through the camera component on the first slave object, the detection ray is emitted from the first slave object along the direction of the first slave object, when the detection ray intersects with the collision device component bound to the obstacle, the first slave object is determined to detect the obstacle, at this time, whether the fourth virtual object is hidden behind the obstacle is further detected, when the fact that the fourth virtual object is hidden behind the obstacle is determined, the first slave object is controlled to perform detection marking on the fourth virtual object, and the fourth virtual object is seen through perspective, so that even if the fourth virtual object is blocked by the obstacle, the fourth virtual object is still highlighted, the fourth virtual object is still visible relative to the first main object or all virtual objects in the group, the first main object is enabled to be hidden in the virtual object, and the interaction efficiency is enabled to be improved, and the interaction policy is enabled to be executed in the first main object or all the first main object is enabled to always in the virtual object, and the interaction policy is enabled to be always in the first main object.

In this case, when the morphology of the first slave object is simulated to correspond to the image of the third virtual object, the terminal device may further control the first slave object in the simulated state (i.e., the second state) to detect the nearby area, and when the virtual object is detected, the type indication information (such as equipment, construction, defense, etc.) of the virtual object may be displayed at the location of the virtual object, and the location information of the virtual object may be displayed in the map of the virtual scene, such as the distance and direction of the virtual object with respect to the first master object or the first slave object, and the terminal device may control the first master object to pick up the virtual object based on the indication information of the virtual object, so as to enhance the interaction capability of the terminal device.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the relevant data related to the login account, the scene data, etc. are essentially relevant data of the user, when the embodiment of the present application is applied to a specific product or technology, the user needs to obtain permission or consent, and the collection, use and processing of the relevant data need to comply with relevant laws and regulations and standards of relevant countries and regions.

In the following, an exemplary application of the embodiment of the present application in a practical application scenario will be described. Taking a shooting game as an example, a first slave object is an avatar controlled by a player (i.e., a first master object) in the game and used for assisting player interaction, the same first slave object can have different forms, the terminal equipment can control the first slave object to change among the different forms, the first slave object in the different forms corresponds to different instructions, and the different instructions are used for controlling the first slave object in the corresponding form to execute corresponding operations, so that corresponding assistance is brought to the player.

Referring to fig. 10, fig. 10 is a flowchart of a method for controlling a virtual object according to an embodiment of the present application, where the method includes:

step 201: the terminal equipment responds to the calling instruction and generates and sends a calling request aiming at the first slave object to the server.

Here, a call control for calling the first slave object may be displayed in the game interface, when the user triggers the call control, the terminal device receives a call instruction in response to a triggering operation for the call control, and the generated call request carries an object identifier of the first slave object to be called in response to the call instruction.

Step 202: the server determines and returns relevant parameters of the first slave object requested to be summoned by the summoning request to the terminal equipment based on the summoning request.

Step 203: the terminal equipment performs picture rendering based on the related parameters, displays the called first slave object in the initial form, and displays the process of converting the first slave object in the initial form into the first slave object in the first form and attaching the first slave object in the first form to the first master object.

Here, the terminal device performs picture rendering based on the relevant parameters, and displays the rendered calling picture, for example, first displaying the monster of the called cartoon figure, and then displaying the animation in which the monster of the cartoon figure becomes fragments and the fragments are attached to the arm of the first main object (player).

After the first slave object in the initial form is called, before the first slave object is changed from the initial form to the first form, the terminal device may also control the initial form to detect the virtual scene (e.g., the target area centered on the first slave object), and when the target object (e.g., the virtual object or the virtual material) is detected, for example, display the indication information of the detected target object.

Step 204: the terminal equipment controls a first slave object of the first form to scout the virtual scene, and when the target object is scout, the terminal equipment displays indication information corresponding to the target object.

The target object comprises at least one of a second virtual object and virtual materials, and when the second virtual object (enemy) is detected, the position information of the second virtual object, such as the distance and the direction of the second virtual object relative to the first main object, is displayed in the game map. When the first master object is equipped with a material detection skill, the terminal device can control the first slave object in the first form to detect the material of the virtual scene through the material detection skill, and when the virtual material (such as gold coin, building material (such as ore), food material, weapon equipment, equipment or character upgrading material and the like) is detected, indication information of the virtual material (such as indication of the type of the virtual material, the position of the virtual material and the like) is displayed.

In practical application, when the number of detected target objects is greater than or equal to 2, different display modes (such as different colors, different brightnesses, etc.) can be adopted to display each target object according to the characteristics of the target objects, for example, when the target object is a second virtual object, different display modes are adopted to display each second virtual object according to the difference of the distances between each second virtual object and the first main object; when the target object is a virtual material, displaying indication information of the virtual material in and out of the visual field range of the first main object by adopting different display modes (such as different colors, different brightness and the like).

Step 205: the terminal device responds to the mimicry instruction and generates and transmits a mimicry request for the first slave object to the server.

The mimicry command can be triggered by triggering the mimicry control, for example, the terminal equipment can display the mimicry control for the first slave object in an interface of the virtual scene, respond to the triggering operation of the mimicry control, receive the mimicry command, respond to the mimicry command, generate and send a mimicry request for the first slave object to the server, and the mimicry request carries information such as an object identifier of the first slave object, a form in which the current first slave object is located and the like.

Step 206: the server determines and returns the mimicry information of the first slave object requested to be mimicry by the mimicry request to the terminal device based on the mimicry request.

The mimicry information may be information related to a second virtual object (including a non-user role or other virtual objects located in a different group from the first master object) within the range centered on the first slave object.

Step 207: the terminal equipment performs picture rendering based on the mimicry information, and displays the animation of the first slave object, wherein the first slave object is converted into an initial form from a first form, and the first slave object in the initial form is mimicry to the first slave object in a second form.

For example, the animation in which the fragments attached to the arm of the first master object are transformed into the animate of the animation (the animate moves to another position apart from the arm of the first master object) is displayed first, and the animate of the animation is displayed as the animation of the first slave object conforming to the avatar of the second virtual object.

Step 208: the terminal equipment controls the first slave object of the second form to perform object reconnaissance on the virtual scene.

In practical application, a second virtual object (such as a non-user role or other virtual objects located in a different group from the first main object, collectively referred to as a second virtual object) in the virtual scene is bound with a collider component (such as a collision box, a collision ball, etc.), during the object reconnaissance process of the first slave object controlling the second form on the virtual scene, through a camera component on the first slave object, a detection ray is emitted from the first slave object along the direction of the first slave object, and when the detection ray intersects with the collider component bound on the second virtual object, it is determined that the first slave object reconnaissance the second virtual object; when the detected ray does not intersect a impactor component bound to the second virtual object, then it is determined that the second virtual object is not detected by the first slave object.

Step 209: when the second virtual object is detected, the first slave object in the second form is controlled to perform detection marking on the second virtual object so as to highlight the second virtual object.

Here, when the second virtual object is detected, the terminal device may first control the first slave object in the second form to lock the detected second virtual object, and detect the distance between the first slave object and the second virtual object, when the distance between the first slave object and the second virtual object is greater than the target distance for performing the detection mark (which may be set according to the actual situation), control the first slave object to track the second virtual object at a faster moving speed, until the distance between the first slave object and the second slave object does not exceed the target distance for performing the detection mark, control the first slave object to release the aiming infrared ray or the laser, where the distance between the aiming infrared ray or the laser corresponds to the distance between the first slave object and the second slave object, and change with the change of the distance between the first slave object and the second slave object, and when the emitter (the aiming infrared ray or the laser) hits a collider component (for example, a collision box, a collision ball, etc.) bound by the second virtual object, determine that the second virtual object is hit, and at this time, special effect elements are displayed in the association range of the second virtual object, such as elements added in the periphery of the second virtual object are displayed, and the special effect elements can change skin material, the color of the second virtual object, and the main information of the second virtual object are highlighted for viewing all the attributive information of the second virtual object.

In practical application, after the first slave object in the second form performs the reconnaissance mark on the second virtual object to highlight the second virtual object (i.e. successfully reconnaissance mark to the target), the terminal device may further control the first slave object to restore from the second form to the initial form (e.g. control the form of the first slave object to change from the second form consistent with the image of the second virtual object to the initial form of the cartoon image), control the first slave object in the initial form to release the mark wave (e.g. pulse wave) around or from the second virtual object, and display the position information of the second virtual object in the map of the virtual scene through the mark wave, so that all members in the group to which the first master object belongs view the position information of the second virtual object.

In the above manner, in the interaction process, the first slave object associated with the first master object is controlled to perform material detection or object reconnaissance on the virtual scene, when the virtual material is detected, indication information corresponding to the virtual material is displayed, the first master object can easily view and pick up the detected virtual material based on the indication information, and further the interaction capability of the first master object in the virtual scene is improved based on the picked-up virtual material, for example, self equipment is upgraded or a defending structure is built by using the picked-up virtual material, so that the attack capability or defending capability is improved; when the second virtual object is detected, the position information of the second virtual object is displayed for all members in the group to which the first main object belongs to check, so that an interaction strategy which can cause the maximum damage to the second virtual object is manufactured by all members in the group to which the first main object belongs, corresponding interaction operation is executed according to the interaction strategy, the interaction capability of all members in the group to which the first main object belongs is further improved, the interaction times for executing the interaction operation for defeating the adversary can be reduced under the condition that the interaction capability is improved, the man-machine interaction efficiency is improved, and the occupation of hardware processing resources is reduced.
