Taking cloud game as an example, cloud game refers to a game mode based on cloud computing. In the running mode of the cloud game, the running main body of the game program and the game picture presentation main body are separated, the storage and running of the control method of the virtual character in the game are completed on the cloud game server, and the function of 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 cloud game server which performs information processing is a cloud. When playing the game, the 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, codes and compresses data such as game pictures and the like, returns the data to the client device through a network, and finally decodes the data through the client device and outputs the game pictures.

In an alternative embodiment, taking a game as an example, the local terminal device stores a game program and is used to present a game screen. The local terminal device is used for interacting with the player through the graphical user interface, namely, conventionally downloading and installing the game program through the electronic device and running. 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 by holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device may include a display screen for presenting a graphical user interface including game visuals, and a processor for running the game, generating the graphical user interface, and controlling the display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.

In a possible implementation manner, the embodiment of the disclosure provides a method for controlling a virtual character in a game, and a graphical user interface is provided through a terminal device, where the terminal device may be the aforementioned local terminal device or the aforementioned client device in the cloud interaction system.

For example, as shown in fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic view of an application scenario provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The application scenario may include a touch terminal (e.g., a mobile phone 102) and a server 101, and the touch terminal may communicate with the server 101 through a wired network or a wireless network. The touch terminal is used for running a virtual desktop, and can interact with the server 101 through the virtual desktop so as to control the virtual roles in the server 101.

The touch terminal of the present embodiment is illustrated by taking the mobile phone 102 as an example. The handset 102 includes Radio Frequency (RF) circuitry 210, memory 220, touch screen 230, processor 240, and the like. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the handset construction shown in fig. 2 is not limiting of the handset and may include more or fewer components than shown, or may combine certain components, or split certain components, or a different arrangement of components. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the touch screen 230 pertains to a User Interface (UI) and that the handset 102 may include fewer User interfaces than shown or otherwise.

RF circuitry 210 may also communicate with networks and other devices through wireless communications. The wireless communication may use any communication standard or protocol including, but not limited to, global system for mobile communications (Global System of Mobile communication, GSM), general packet radio service (General Packet Radio Service, GPRS), code division multiple access (Code Division Multiple Access, CDMA), wideband code division multiple access (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access, WCDMA), long term evolution (Long Term Evolution, LTE), email, short message service (Short Messaging Service, SMS), and the like.

The memory 220 may be used to store software programs and modules that the processor 240 performs various functional applications and data processing of the handset 102 by executing the software programs and modules stored in the memory 220. The memory 220 may mainly include a storage program area and a storage data area, wherein the storage program area may store an operating system, application programs required for at least one function, and the like; the storage data area may store data created according to the use of the cell phone 102, etc. In addition, memory 220 may include high-speed random access memory, and may also include non-volatile memory, such as at least one magnetic disk storage device, flash memory device, or other volatile solid-state storage device.

The touch screen 230 may be used to display a graphical user interface and to receive user operations with respect to the graphical user interface. A particular touch screen 230 may include a display panel and a touch panel. The display panel may be configured in the form of a liquid crystal display (Liquid Crystal Display, LCD), an Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED), or the like. The touch panel may collect contact or non-contact operations on or near the user (e.g., operations on or near the touch panel by the user using any suitable object or accessory such as a finger 301, a stylus, etc., as shown in fig. 3) and generate preset operation instructions. In addition, the touch panel may include two parts, a touch detection device and a touch controller. The touch detection device detects the touch azimuth and the touch gesture of a user, detects signals brought by touch operation and transmits the signals to the touch controller; the touch controller receives touch information from the touch detection device, converts the touch information into information which can be processed by the processor, sends the information to the processor 240, and can receive and execute commands sent by the processor 240. In addition, the touch panel may be implemented by various types such as resistive, capacitive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave, or may be implemented by any technology developed in the future. Further, the touch panel may overlay the display panel, and a user may operate on or near the touch panel overlaid on the display panel according to a graphical user interface displayed by the display panel, and upon detection of an operation thereon or thereabout, the touch panel is transferred to the processor 240 to determine a user input, and the processor 240 then provides a corresponding visual output on the display panel in response to the user input. In addition, the touch panel and the display panel may be implemented as two independent components or may be integrated.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling a virtual character in a game according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method can be applied to a terminal device (such as the mobile phone 102 shown in fig. 2) capable of presenting a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface is provided through the terminal device, a game scene of the game at least comprises a virtual character controlled by the terminal device, the graphical user interface comprises a first skill control, and the first skill comprises a skill ready state and a skill cooling state. As shown in fig. 4, the method includes:

in step S410, when the first skill is in the skill ready state, the virtual character is controlled to release the first skill in response to the skill release operation for the first skill control.

It should be noted that, the skill ready state refers to a state that the skill is ready to be triggered at any time, and may be that the skill may be triggered to release by player operation at any time. The skill cooling state is opposite to the skill ready state, and refers to a state that the skill is cooled and is not ready at all and can not be triggered, and the release of the skill can not be triggered even through the operation of a player.

In practical use, when the virtual character is in a skill ready state of running skill (first skill), the virtual character is controlled to start running (release first skill) in response to a skill release operation for the running skill control (first skill control).

In step S420, in response to the locking operation for the first skill, the trigger function of the first skill control is controlled to be turned off, so that the first skill control does not respond to the skill release operation when the first skill is in a skill ready state.

For example, when a player performs a lock operation with respect to a running skill (first skill), the system may control the trigger function of the running skill control (first skill control) to be turned off so that the first skill control does not respond to a skill release operation when the running skill (first skill) is in a skill ready state, and may also be understood as masking the running skill control (first skill control) so that the player will not be able to control the virtual character to start running (release the first skill) when the player clicks on the running skill control (first skill control).

According to the method and the device for controlling the virtual character to release the first skill, the first skill can be controlled to release the first skill in response to the skill release operation of the first skill control when the first skill is in the skill ready state, and the triggering function of the first skill control can be controlled to be closed in response to the locking operation of the first skill, so that the first skill control does not respond to the skill release operation when the first skill is in the skill ready state, namely, the first skill control is shielded, a player can only operate the skill controls except the first skill control, the corresponding function of the first skill control cannot be triggered by misoperation due to the first skill control, the misoperation of the skill caused by misoperation of the player is avoided, the technical problem that the player is easy to operate the skill control by misoperation in a game is solved, and the game experience of the player is improved.

The above steps are described in detail below.

In some embodiments, the specific manner of operation of the locking operation for the first skill in step S420 may be an operation of locking a control for a skill. As an example, the step S420 may specifically include the following steps:

step S422, in response to the virtual character being in the specified state, displaying a skill lock control for the first skill control in the graphical user interface.

For example, as shown in fig. 5, when the virtual character 501 is in a running state (designated state), the system can display a skill lock control 503 for the first skill control 502 in the graphical user interface. Wherein the skills that the virtual character 501 can use correspondingly in the motion state are skills other than the first skill, such as jumping, running, etc. only the motion skills other than the attack skills can be used in the motion state, wherein the second skill corresponding to the second skill control 504 is only the first skill control 502, and the skill lock control 503 has no influence on the second skill control 504.

In step S424, in response to the operation for the skill lock control, the trigger function of the first skill control is controlled to be turned off, so that the first skill control does not respond to the skill release operation when the first skill is in a skill ready state.

Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 5, when a player operates a skill lock control 503, e.g., the player clicks on the skill lock control 503, the system may control the triggering function of the first skill control 502 to close, may be understood as masking the first skill control 502, and may not control the virtual character 501 to release the first skill when the player clicks on the first skill control 502.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, when the virtual character is in a specified state in which the first skill cannot be used, the system can display the skill locking control for the first skill for the player in the graphical user interface, when the player clicks the skill locking control, the system controls the triggering function of the first skill control to be closed, namely, the first skill control is shielded, the player can only operate the skill control except the first skill control, the corresponding function of the first skill control cannot be triggered by misoperation, the misoperation of the first skill control by the player is avoided, the misoperation of the skill caused by misoperation of the player is avoided, the technical problem that the player easily operates the skill control by misoperation in the game is solved, and the game experience of the player is improved.

In some embodiments, the system may display the skill lock control corresponding to the first skill control for the player more flexibly, may intuitively prompt the player, and is convenient for the player to operate, for example, the system may display the corresponding skill lock control at a corresponding position such as beside the first skill control, so as to intuitively and more pointedly prompt the player with a skill lock function, and further effectively prevent the player from performing a false touch operation. As an example, the step S410 may specifically include the following steps:

And a step a), responding to the virtual character in a designated state, and displaying a skill locking control for the first skill control at a corresponding position of the first skill control.

For example, as shown in fig. 5, when virtual character 501 is in a running state, the system can display a skill lock control 503 for first skill control 502 at the top right (corresponding location) of first skill control 502.

By enabling the system to respond to the virtual character in a designated state, a skill locking control for the first skill control is displayed at a corresponding position of the first skill control, for example, the skill locking control is displayed at the upper right side of the first skill control, so that a player can be intuitively reminded of the skill locking control for the first skill control, and the player can be conveniently operated near the first skill control, so that the player can be effectively prevented from being mistakenly touched.

Based on the step a), the corresponding positions of the first skill control can comprise a plurality of position types, so that the corresponding skill locking control of the first skill control can be flexibly displayed for the player, the game habit of different players can be adapted, the player knows that the skill locking control corresponds to the first skill control, and further the error touch operation of the player is prevented. As one example, the corresponding location of the first skill control includes any one or more of:

The position within a preset range around the first skill control, the position relative to one side of the first skill control, and the position of the part of the control covering the first skill control.

For example, as shown in fig. 6, the corresponding positions may include a plurality of position types, for example, the positions in the preset range (such as the dashed line range 601) around the first skill control may be set as the corresponding positions according to the first skill control as the center, and the skill lock control may be displayed at any position in the preset range; for another example, the corresponding location may be a location relative to one side of the first skill control, to the left, right, or above the first skill control, and so on; for another example, a portion of the controls may be overlaid with the location of the first skill control (as shown at 602), i.e., with the skill lock control portion displayed on the first skill control.

It should be noted that, the size of the preset range may be any value, and may be specifically set according to a specific situation, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

Through making the corresponding position of first skill control include multiple position type, make the system can be nimble for the corresponding skill locking control of player display first skill control, can be nimble carry out audio-visual suggestion for the player through different modes, make the player can know this skill locking control corresponds first skill control, can also make different players select corresponding position by oneself according to the recreation habit, and then prevent that the player from taking place the mistake and touch the operation, improve player's recreation experience.

In some embodiments, the system may automatically close the trigger function of the first skill control for the player, thereby reducing operation steps of the player, and further achieving the purpose of preventing false touch operation more quickly and conveniently, for example, when the virtual character is in a designated state, the system closes the trigger function of the first skill control. As an example, the method may further comprise the steps of:

and b) responding to the virtual character in a designated state, and controlling the triggering function of the first skill control to be closed.

Illustratively, when the virtual character is in the running state (designated state), the system may automatically control the triggering function of the first skill control to be turned off without the player's operation, which may be understood as masking the first skill control, and the player will not be able to control the virtual character 501 to release the first skill when clicking on the first skill control.

By enabling the system to respond to the virtual character in the appointed state and controlling the triggering function of the first skill control to be closed, the triggering function of the first skill control is automatically closed when the virtual character is in the appointed state, operation steps of a player are reduced, the triggering function of the first skill control can be closed more quickly, the possibility of misoperation of the player is avoided, and game experience of the player is improved.

In some embodiments, the system may perform a corresponding prompt after the trigger function is closed, so as to intuitively prompt the player whether the trigger function of the first skill control is in a closed state, for example, when the trigger function of the first skill control is closed, the system may change the display form of the first skill control and/or the skill lock control more flexibly, so that the player can confirm whether the trigger function of the current first skill control is in a closed state, so that the player can perform a next operation according to the current information, and further prevent the player from performing a false touch operation. As an example, the method may further comprise the steps of:

and c), responding to the triggering function closing of the first skill control, changing the display form of the first skill control in the graphical user interface, and/or changing the display form of the skill locking control in the graphical user interface.

For example, as shown in fig. 7, when the trigger function of the first skill control 701 is turned off, the system may change the display form of the first skill control 701 in the graphical user interface, e.g., from an opaque state to a semi-transparent state. Alternatively, when the trigger function of the first skill control 701 is turned off, the system may change the display form of the skill lock control 702 in the graphical user interface, e.g., from the form of an open lock to the form of a locked lock. The system may change the display form of either the first skill control 701 or the skill lock control 702 separately, or both at the same time.

Note that the display forms may include, but are not limited to: color, shape, size, transparency, etc., may change the static display form and may also change the dynamic display form, and embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited herein.

The system responds to the closing of the triggering function of the first skill control, changes the display form of the first skill control in the graphical user interface, and/or changes the display form of the skill locking control in the graphical user interface, and through more flexible changing of the display forms of the first skill control and the skill locking control, whether the triggering function of the first skill control is in a closed state or not can be intuitively prompted to a player, and further false touch operation of the player is prevented.

In some embodiments, the trigger function of the skill control can be restarted under the control operation while the designated state is separated, and the player can release the trigger function of the first skill control through quick and convenient operation, so that the release of the first skill is prevented from being influenced. As an example, after the above step S424, the method may further include the steps of:

And d), controlling the triggering function of the first skill control to be started according to the operation of the skill locking control while the virtual character is separated from the designated state.

Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 5, while the virtual character 501 stops running (out of the specified state), the player operates against the skill lock control 503, e.g., clicking on the skill lock control 503, the system may control the triggering function of the first skill control 502 to open, which may be understood as unmasking the first skill control 502, and when the player clicks on the first skill control 502, the virtual character 501 may be controlled to release the first skill.

The triggering function of the first skill control is controlled to be opened by enabling the system to respond to the operation of the skill locking control when the virtual character is separated from the appointed state, so that the triggering function of the first skill control can be released from being closed by the player through quick and convenient operation in the game, the first skill is released, and the game experience of the player is improved.

Based on the step d), the virtual character can be provided for the player to prompt when the virtual character is separated from the appointed state, so that the player is intuitively prompted that the current virtual character is separated from the appointed state, the player can conveniently acquire state information in time and decide whether to start the triggering function of the first skill control, for example, when the virtual character is separated from the appointed state, the system can flexibly change the display state of the skill locking control to prompt the player, and if the player operates the skill locking control, the system starts the triggering function of the first skill control. As an example, the step d) may specifically include the following steps:

And e), responding to the virtual character to deviate from the appointed state, and changing the display form of the skill locking control in the graphical user interface.

And f), controlling the triggering function of the first skill control to be started in response to the operation of the skill locking control after the display form is changed.

For example, when the virtual character stops running (out of specification), the system may change the display form of the skill lock control in the graphical user interface, e.g., highlight or shake the skill lock control to indicate to the player that the skill lock control may be operated to release the skill lock. When the player operates the skill lock control after changing the display form, for example, clicking the skill lock control, the system can control the trigger function of the first skill control to be opened, and the player can freely control the virtual object to release the first skill.

The display form of the skill lock control in the graphical user interface is changed by enabling the system to respond to the virtual character to deviate from the appointed state, then the triggering function of the first skill control is controlled to be started in response to the operation of the skill lock control after the display form is changed, so that the system can flexibly change the display form of the skill lock control, further intuitively prompt a player whether the current virtual character deviates from the appointed state, facilitate the player to decide whether to start the triggering function of the first skill control, and improve the game experience of the player.

Based on the step d), when the trigger function of the skill control is restarted, a corresponding prompt can be performed, so that the player can be intuitively prompted that the first skill control is in a triggerable state, the player can acquire information in time conveniently, for example, when the trigger function of the first skill control is closed, the system can flexibly change the display form of the first skill control, and when the trigger function of the first skill control is started, the system controls the display form of the first skill control to be restored to the original state. As one example, after the trigger function of the first skill control is turned off, the display form of the first skill control in the graphical user interface has changed; the step d) may further include the steps of:

and g), responding to the triggering function opening of the first skill control, and restoring the display form of the first skill control in the graphical user interface.

For example, when the trigger function of the first skill control is turned off, the system may change the display form of the first skill control in the graphical user interface, e.g., from an opaque state to a semi-transparent state. When the trigger function of the first skill control is turned on, the system may resume the display form of the first skill control in the graphical user interface, i.e., resume it from a semi-transparent state to an opaque state.

The system responds to the triggering function of the first skill control to be started, and the display form of the first skill control in the graphical user interface is restored, so that whether the first skill control is in a triggerable state or not can be intuitively prompted to a player, and further the player is prevented from performing false touch operation.

In some embodiments, the system may automatically open the triggering function of the first skill control for the player, thereby reducing operation steps of the player, and may relatively quickly and conveniently release the function of preventing the false touch operation, avoiding affecting the operation of the player on the first skill, and facilitating the player to release the first skill, for example, when the virtual character is out of the designated state, the system automatically opens the triggering function of the first skill control. As an example, after the above step S424, the method may further include the steps of:

and h), responding to the virtual character to deviate from the appointed state, and controlling the triggering function of the first skill control to be started.

Illustratively, when the avatar is out of the running state (designated state), the system may automatically control the triggering function of the first skill control to open, i.e., unmask the first skill control, without the player having to operate, and may control the avatar 501 to release the first skill when the player clicks on the first skill control.

By enabling the system to respond to the fact that the virtual character is separated from the appointed state, the triggering function of the first skill control is controlled to be started, and enabling the system to automatically start the triggering function of the first skill control when the virtual character is separated from the appointed state, operation steps of a player are reduced, the triggering function of the first skill control can be started more quickly, the possibility of misoperation of the player is avoided, and game experience of the player is improved.

Based on the step h), when the trigger function of the skill control is automatically opened, corresponding prompt can be performed at the skill control, so that the player can be intuitively prompted that the first skill control is in a triggerable state, and the player can know the opening of the trigger function in time. As one example, after the trigger function of the first skill control is turned off, the display form of the first skill control in the graphical user interface has changed; after the above step h), the method may further include the steps of:

And i), responding to the triggering function opening of the first skill control, and restoring the display form of the first skill control in the graphical user interface.

In some embodiments, when the trigger function of the skill control is automatically opened, a corresponding prompt can be performed at the position of the locked control, so that whether the trigger function of the first skill control is in an opened state or not is intuitively prompted to a player, and the player can know the opening of the trigger function in time conveniently. As an example, after the above step h), the following steps may be further included:

And j) responding to the starting of the triggering function of the first skill control, and changing the display form of the skill locking control in the graphical user interface.

For example, when the trigger function of the first skill control is turned off, the system may change the display form of the skill lock control in the graphical user interface, e.g., from the form of an open lock to the form of a locked lock. When the triggering function of the first skill control is started, the system can restore the display form of the skill locking control in the graphical user interface, namely, the skill locking control is restored from the form of the locked lock to the form of the unlocked lock.

By enabling the system to respond to the starting of the triggering function of the first skill control and changing the display form of the skill locking control in the graphical user interface, whether the triggering function of the first skill control is in the starting state or not can be intuitively prompted to a player, and further the player is prevented from performing false touch operation.

In some embodiments, the specified state may include a plurality of state types, so that the method is more flexible and widely applied, for example, the specified state may include a plurality of types, so that the player can flexibly apply the method to a plurality of game scenes. Illustratively, the specified state includes any one or more of the following:

combat state, non-combat state, movement state, treatment state.

As an example, when the virtual character is in a combat state, the system may display a skill lock control for the first skill control in the graphical user interface, and then control a trigger function of the first skill control to close in response to a player's operation of the skill lock control, thereby avoiding that the player erroneously touches the first skill control in a combat to cause the first skill control to release, resulting in the release of the wrong skill.

As another example, when the virtual character is in a non-combat state, the system may display a skill lock control for the first skill control in the graphical user interface, and then control a trigger function of the first skill control to close in response to a player's operation of the skill lock control, avoiding that a player erroneously touches the first skill control in a non-combat causing the first skill control to be released, resulting in no skill being available in the combat.

As another example, when the virtual character is in a moving state, the system may display a skill lock control for the first skill control in the graphical user interface, and then control a trigger function of the first skill control to close in response to an operation of the player for the skill lock control, so as to avoid that the player erroneously touches the first skill control in moving to cause the first skill control to be released, resulting in no skill in combat being available.

As another example, when the virtual character is in a treatment state, the system may display a skill lock control for the first skill control in the graphical user interface, and then control a trigger function of the first skill control to close in response to an operation of the player for the skill lock control, so as to avoid that the first skill control is released due to a false touch of the first skill control by the player in a treatment process, and the treatment state is interrupted.

The appointed state can comprise a plurality of state types, so that the application of the method is more flexible and wider, a trigger function of closing the first skill control can be selected by a player in different game scenes, the release of the first skill caused by the false touch operation of the player is avoided, the game situation is influenced, the technical problem that the player easily touches the skill control by mistake in the game is solved, and the game experience of the player is improved.
