The virtual object control method in one embodiment of the present disclosure may be executed on a local terminal device or a server. When the virtual object control method runs on a server, the method can be realized and executed based on a cloud interaction system, wherein the cloud interaction system comprises the server and client equipment.

In an alternative embodiment, various cloud applications may be run under the cloud interaction system, for example: and (5) cloud game. Taking cloud game as an example, cloud game refers to a game mode based on cloud computing. In the cloud game operation mode, the game program operation main body and the game picture presentation main body are separated, the storage and operation of the virtual object control method are completed on the cloud game server, and the client device is used for receiving and sending data and presenting the game picture, for example, the client device can be a display device with a data transmission function close to a user side, such as a mobile terminal, a television, a computer, a palm computer and the like; but the 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 present invention provides a virtual object control method, 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.

In an example embodiment of the present disclosure, the game in the scheme of the present disclosure may include various types of games, for example, TPS (third person perspective shooting), FPS (first person perspective shooting), RPG (role playing game), ACT (action game), SLG (strategy game), FTG (fighting game), SPG (sports competition game), RCG (racing game), AVG (adventure game), etc., and the scheme of virtual object control of the present disclosure may be applied as long as the scenario involving perspective adjustment is concerned. Note that the present disclosure is not particularly limited as to the type of game.

Next, steps S110 to S120 of the virtual object control method in the present exemplary embodiment will be described in more detail with reference to fig. 1 and the embodiment.

Step S110, constructing a travel path from an initial position to a target position in response to a path planning operation for the virtual game object;

in one example embodiment of the present disclosure, a travel path from an initial location to a target location may be constructed in response to a path planning operation for a virtual game object. Specifically, at least part of the virtual game scene and at least one virtual game object located in the virtual game scene are displayed through a graphical user interface of the terminal equipment, the virtual game object has an initial position, the virtual game object is controlled by the terminal equipment, a path planning operation for the virtual game object can be used for constructing a travel path for the virtual game object, after the travel path planning is completed, the virtual game object can move according to the travel path, and attack actions are executed on all positions on the travel path.

The path planning operation for the virtual game object may include an operation acting on the graphical user interface, and the first operation may include a touch operation, specifically, the touch operation may include a sliding touch operation, a pressing touch operation, a gesture touch operation, a long-press touch operation, a clicking touch operation, a dragging touch operation, and the like. It should be noted that the present disclosure is not limited in particular to a specific form of the path planning operation for the virtual game object.

In one example embodiment of the present disclosure, a travel path from an initial position to a target position may be constructed. Wherein the travel path includes at least one intermediate position. Specifically, after determining the initial position of the virtual game object, at least one intermediate position and a target position may be determined on the graphical user interface, and a plurality of positions (initial position, intermediate position, target position) may be sequentially connected to obtain a travel path from the initial position to the target position.

For example, the path planning operation may be a click touch operation, after the initial position of the virtual game object is obtained, the intermediate position may be determined on the gui according to the click touch operation, then the target position is determined on the gui according to the click touch operation, and then the positions are connected to obtain the travel path from the initial position to the target position.

In one example embodiment of the present disclosure, a travel path from an initial position to a target position may be constructed. Specifically, at least one intermediate position and a target position may be determined according to a path planning operation.

For example, the path planning operation may be a sliding touch operation, starting from an initial position, taking a sliding position corresponding to the sliding touch operation as an intermediate position after a preset sliding time period, then starting to execute the sliding touch operation from the intermediate position, taking the sliding position corresponding to the sliding touch operation as a target position after the preset sliding time period, and taking a sliding track corresponding to the sliding touch operation as a travel path from the initial position to the target position.

The present disclosure is not limited to a specific manner of constructing the travel path from the initial position to the target position.

Step S120, controlling the virtual game object to sequentially pass through the initial position and at least one intermediate position according to the travel path to reach the target position, and controlling the virtual game object to execute the attack action when reaching the initial position, the intermediate position and the target position.

In an example embodiment of the present disclosure, after the travel path is obtained through the above steps, the virtual game object may be controlled to sequentially pass through the initial position, at least one intermediate position, and reach the target position according to the travel path, and the virtual game object may be controlled to perform the attack action when reaching the initial position, the intermediate position, and the target position. Specifically, the travel path constructed by the steps has a travel sequence, and the travel sequence can be used for indicating the sequence of the virtual game object passing through each position (the initial position, the intermediate position and the target position) in the travel path, and according to the travel sequence, the virtual game object can be controlled to sequentially pass through the positions and at least one intermediate position to reach the target position according to the travel path, and when reaching each position, the virtual game object is controlled to execute the attack action.

Specifically, when each location is reached, the virtual game object may be controlled to execute an attack action, which may include executing an attack action on other virtual game objects in the location, which may include executing an attack action on a virtual unit (e.g., a virtual building) in the location, and which may include executing an attack action on a virtual unit in the location and then occupying the virtual unit.

Note that, the present disclosure is not limited to a specific object that controls the virtual game object to execute the attack action.

In one example embodiment of the present disclosure, after each location controls the virtual game object to perform an attack action, the virtual game object may be controlled to proceed to the next location, or the virtual game object may stop performing a game action when the current location of the virtual game object is the target location.

Further, controlling the virtual game object to execute the attack action when reaching each location may include realizing the attack target at the location by executing the attack action (for example, defeating or occupying all other virtual game objects at the location with the corresponding game points), and further controlling the virtual game object to go to the next location (the current location is not the target location) or stopping executing the game action (the current location is the target location).

Alternatively, controlling the virtual game object to perform the attack action when reaching each location may include controlling the virtual game object to go to the next location (current location is not the target location) or stopping performing the game action (current location is the target location) after the location has been controlled for a preset time of attack by the virtual game object.

The present disclosure is not limited to a specific condition for controlling the end of the attack performed by the virtual game object at each position.

In one example embodiment of the present disclosure, when one intermediate position is included in the travel path, a first travel sub-path from the initial position to the intermediate position may be constructed, a second travel sub-path from the intermediate position to the target position may be constructed, and the travel path may be determined according to the first travel sub-path and the second travel sub-path. Referring to fig. 2, determining a travel path according to a first travel sub-path and a second travel sub-path may include the following steps S210 to S230:

step S210, when the travel path comprises an intermediate position, constructing a first travel sub-path from the initial position to the intermediate position;

in one example embodiment of the present disclosure, after determining the initial position of the virtual game object through the above-described steps, if the travel path includes only one intermediate position, a first travel sub-path from the initial position to the intermediate position may be constructed. In particular, the intermediate position may be determined in the graphical user interface by a path planning operation, and the first travel sub-path from the initial position to the intermediate position may be determined by the initial position and the intermediate position.

For example, the path planning operation is a sliding touch operation, the sliding touch operation may be performed from the initial position, the intermediate position is determined by the sliding touch operation, and then a sliding track corresponding to the sliding touch operation between the initial position and the intermediate position is used as a first travel sub-path from the initial position to the intermediate position.

For example, the path planning operation is a click touch operation, the intermediate position may be determined by the click touch operation, and then the initial position and the intermediate position are connected to obtain a first travel sub-path from the initial position to the intermediate position.

It should be noted that, the present disclosure is not limited in particular to a specific manner of constructing the first travel sub-path from the initial position to the intermediate position.

Step S220, constructing a second traveling sub-path from the middle position to the target position;

in one example embodiment of the present disclosure, after determining the intermediate position of the virtual game object through the above-described steps, a second travel sub-path from the intermediate position to the target position may be constructed. Specifically, the target position may be determined in the graphical user interface by a path planning operation, and the second travel sub-path from the intermediate position to the target position may be determined by the intermediate position and the target position.

For example, the path planning operation is a sliding touch operation, the sliding touch operation may be performed from the intermediate position, the target position is determined by the sliding touch operation, and then a sliding track corresponding to the sliding touch operation between the intermediate position and the target position is used as a second travelling sub-path from the intermediate position to the target position.

For example, the path planning operation is a click touch operation, the target position may be determined by the click touch operation, and then the intermediate position and the target position are connected to obtain a second travel sub-path from the intermediate position to the target position.

It should be noted that the present disclosure is not limited in particular to the specific manner of constructing the second travel sub-path from the intermediate position to the target position.

Step S230, determining a travel path according to the first travel sub-path and the second travel sub-path.

In one example embodiment of the present disclosure, after the first travel sub-path and the second travel sub-path are derived, the travel path may be determined from the first travel sub-path and the second travel sub-path. Specifically, the first travel sub-path and the second travel sub-path may be connected to obtain a travel path.

For example, as shown in fig. 3, a first travel sub-path 311 from the initial position 301 to the intermediate position 302 may be constructed, and a second travel sub-path 312 from the intermediate position 302 to the target position 303 may be constructed, and a travel path may be determined from the first travel sub-path 311 and the second travel sub-path 312.

The specific manner of determining the travel path according to the first travel sub-path and the second travel sub-path is not particularly limited in this disclosure.

Through the above steps S210 to S230, when one intermediate position is included in the travel path, a first travel sub-path from the initial position to the intermediate position may be constructed, a second travel sub-path from the intermediate position to the target position may be constructed, and the travel path may be determined based on the first travel sub-path and the second travel sub-path.

In one example embodiment of the present disclosure, when a plurality of intermediate positions are included in the travel path, a third travel sub-path from the initial position to the first intermediate position may be constructed, a fourth travel sub-path between at least one intermediate position is sequentially constructed in a selection order of the intermediate positions, a fifth travel sub-path from the last intermediate position to the target position is constructed, and the travel path is determined according to the third travel sub-path, the at least one fourth travel sub-path, and the fifth travel sub-path. Referring to fig. 4, determining a travel path according to the third travel sub-path, at least one fourth travel sub-path, and a fifth travel sub-path may include the following steps S410 to S440:

Step S410, when the travel path comprises a plurality of intermediate positions, constructing a third travel sub-path from the initial position to the first intermediate position;

in one example embodiment of the present disclosure, after determining the initial position of the virtual game object through the above-described steps, if the travel path includes a plurality of intermediate positions, a third travel sub-path from the initial position to the intermediate positions may be constructed. Specifically, a first intermediate position may be determined in the graphical user interface by a path planning operation, and a third travel sub-path from the initial position to the first intermediate position may be determined by the initial position and the first intermediate position.

For example, the path planning operation is a sliding touch operation, the sliding touch operation may be performed from the initial position, the first intermediate position is determined by the sliding touch operation, and then a sliding track corresponding to the sliding touch operation between the initial position and the first intermediate position is used as a third travel sub-path from the initial position to the first intermediate position.

For example, the path planning operation is a click touch operation, a first intermediate position may be determined by the click touch operation, and then the initial position and the first intermediate position are connected to obtain a third travel sub-path from the initial position to the first intermediate position.

It should be noted that the specific manner of constructing the third travel sub-path from the initial position to the first intermediate position is not particularly limited in this disclosure.

Step S420, a fourth advancing sub-path between at least one intermediate position is sequentially constructed according to the selection sequence of the intermediate positions;

in one example embodiment of the present disclosure, after determining the third travel sub-path from the initial position to the first intermediate position, the fourth travel sub-path between the at least one intermediate position may be sequentially constructed in a selection order of the intermediate positions. Specifically, since the travel path includes a plurality of intermediate positions, the plurality of intermediate positions have a selection order, and the fourth travel sub-path between at least one intermediate position may be sequentially constructed in accordance with the selection order of the intermediate positions.

For example, the path planning operation is a sliding touch operation, the sliding touch operation may be performed from the first intermediate position, the second intermediate position is determined by the sliding touch operation, the sliding track corresponding to the sliding touch operation between the first intermediate position and the second intermediate position is used as a fourth travel sub-path from the first intermediate position to the second intermediate position, the third intermediate position is determined by the sliding touch operation, the sliding track corresponding to the sliding touch operation between the second intermediate position and the third intermediate position is used as a fourth travel sub-path from the second intermediate position to the third intermediate position, and so on, to construct the fourth travel sub-path between the at least one intermediate position.

For example, after determining the first intermediate position, the path planning operation is a click touch operation, the second intermediate position may be determined by the click touch operation, the first intermediate position and the second intermediate position may be connected to obtain a fourth travel sub-path from the first intermediate position to the second intermediate position, the third intermediate position may be determined by the click touch operation, the second intermediate position and the third intermediate position may be connected to obtain a fourth travel sub-path from the second intermediate position to the third intermediate position, and so on, to construct a fourth travel sub-path between at least one intermediate position.

The present disclosure is not limited to a specific manner of sequentially constructing the fourth travel sub-path between at least one intermediate position according to the selection order of the intermediate positions.

Step S430, constructing a fifth travel sub-path from the last intermediate position to the target position;

in one example embodiment of the present disclosure, after the last intermediate position of the virtual game object is determined through the above steps, a fifth travel sub-path from the last intermediate position to the target position may be performed. Specifically, the target position may be determined in the graphical user interface by a path planning operation, and the second travel sub-path from the last intermediate position to the target position may be determined by the last intermediate position and the target position.

For example, the path planning operation is a sliding touch operation, the sliding touch operation may be performed from the last intermediate position, the target position is determined by the sliding touch operation, and then the sliding track corresponding to the sliding touch operation between the last intermediate position and the target position is used as the fifth travel sub-path from the intermediate position to the target position.

For example, the path planning operation is a click touch operation, the target position may be determined by the click touch operation, and then the last intermediate position is connected with the target position to obtain a fifth travel sub-path from the last intermediate position to the target position.

It should be noted that, the present disclosure is not limited in particular to the specific manner of constructing the fifth traveling sub-path from the last intermediate position to the target position.

Step S440, determining a travel path according to the third travel sub-path, the at least one fourth travel sub-path and the fifth travel sub-path.

In one example embodiment of the present disclosure, after the third, fourth, and fifth travel sub-paths are obtained through the above steps, the travel path may be determined according to the third, at least one fourth, and fifth travel sub-paths. Specifically, the third travel sub-path, the plurality of fourth travel sub-paths, and the fifth travel sub-path may be connected to obtain the travel path.

For example, as shown in fig. 5, a third travel sub-path 511 from the initial position 501 to the first intermediate position 502, a fourth travel sub-path 512 from the first intermediate position 502 to the second intermediate position 503, and a fifth travel sub-path 513 from the second intermediate position 503 to the target position 504 may be constructed, and a travel path may be determined according to the third travel sub-path 511, the fourth travel sub-path 512, and the fifth travel sub-path 513.

Through the above steps S410 to S440, when a plurality of intermediate positions are included in the travel path, a third travel sub-path from the initial position to the first intermediate position is constructed, a fourth travel sub-path between at least one intermediate position is sequentially constructed in the order of selection of intermediate positions, a fifth travel sub-path from the last intermediate position to the target position is constructed, and a travel path is determined from the third travel sub-path, the at least one fourth travel sub-path, and the fifth travel sub-path.

In one example embodiment of the present disclosure, an operation identifier corresponding to a path planning sub-operation may be displayed in a graphical user interface in the process of constructing a travel sub-path, the current travel sub-path is constructed when the path planning sub-operation reaches an end position of the current travel sub-path, and a next travel sub-path continuous with the current travel sub-path is constructed in response to the path planning sub-operation for the operation identifier. Referring to fig. 6, in response to a path planning sub-operation for an operation identification, constructing a next travel sub-path continuous with a current travel sub-path may include the following steps S610 to S630:

Step S610, in the process of constructing the travel sub-path, displaying operation identifiers corresponding to path planning sub-operations in a graphical user interface;

in one example embodiment of the present disclosure, a travel path from an initial position to a target position may be constructed by a path planning operation, the travel path including a plurality of travel sub-paths. Specifically, when the travel path includes an intermediate position, the travel path includes a first travel sub-path and a second travel sub-path; when the travel path includes a plurality of intermediate positions, the travel path includes a third travel sub-path, at least one fourth travel sub-path, and a fifth travel sub-path. The path planning operation includes a plurality of path planning sub-operations, each of the plurality of travel sub-paths having a corresponding path planning sub-operation.

Specifically, in the process of constructing the travel sub-path, an operation identifier corresponding to the path planning sub-operation may be displayed in the graphical user interface. The operation identifier may be used to indicate an operation location of the path planning sub-operation. The operation identifier corresponding to the path planning sub-operation can be at any position on the graphical user interface, and the operation identifier can be in any shape.

For example, an operation identifier corresponding to the path planning sub-operation may be displayed at an operation position corresponding to the path planning sub-operation, where the operation identifier may be in a ring shape.

Step S620, when the path planning sub-operation reaches the end position of the current traveling sub-path, constructing the current traveling sub-path;

in one example embodiment of the present disclosure, the current travel sub-path may be constructed when the path planning sub-operation reaches the end position of the current travel sub-path. Specifically, each path planning sub-operation corresponds to a travel sub-path, and when the travel sub-path is constructed by the path planning sub-operation, the path planning sub-operation indicates that the end point of the current travel sub-path has been reached when the path planning sub-operation reaches the end position of the current travel sub-path, and at this time, the current travel sub-path can be constructed.

Specifically, the path planning sub-operation may include a sliding touch operation, and the path planning sub-operation reaching the end position of the current travel sub-path may include the operation position corresponding to the sliding touch operation reaching the end position of the current travel sub-path; the path planning sub-operation may further include a click touch operation, and the path planning sub-operation reaching the end position of the current travel sub-path may further include that an operation position corresponding to the click touch operation is located at the end position of the current travel sub-path.

The specific form of the path planning sub-operation reaching the end position of the current travel sub-path is not particularly limited in this disclosure.

In step S630, in response to the path planning sub-operation identified for the operation, a next travel sub-path continuous with the current travel sub-path is constructed.

In one example embodiment of the present disclosure, the operation identifier may be used to indicate an operation position of the path planning sub-operation, and a next travel sub-path that is continuous with the current travel sub-path and corresponds to the path planning sub-operation may be constructed by the path planning sub-operation acting on the operation identifier.

For example, as shown in fig. 7, where the operation identifier is a circle 703, the current travel sub-path 701 may be constructed when the path planning sub-operation reaches the end position 702 of the current travel sub-path 701, and the next travel sub-path 704 continuous with the current travel sub-path may be constructed in response to the path planning sub-operation for the operation identifier 703.

In one example embodiment of the present disclosure, in response to a path planning sub-operation identified for an operation, the path planning sub-operation corresponding to the current travel sub-path is ended. Specifically, when the path planning sub-operation for constructing the current travel sub-path reaches the end position of the current travel sub-path, the current travel sub-path is constructed, the path planning sub-operation corresponds to the operation identifier, and when the path planning sub-operation for the operation identifier is received, the next travel sub-path continuous with the current travel sub-path can be constructed, at this time, the path planning sub-operation for constructing the current travel sub-path can be ended.

For example, a player may construct a current travel sub-path by using a right finger in a sliding touch manner, when the current travel sub-path is constructed, a sliding touch operation is continuously performed, when the sliding touch operation reaches an end position of the current travel sub-path, the current travel sub-path is constructed, and the sliding touch operation corresponds to an operation identifier, at this time, the player cannot release the right finger yet, at this time, the player may construct a next travel sub-path through a sliding touch operation triggered by a left finger for the operation identifier, at this time, a path planning sub-operation for constructing the current travel sub-path may be ended, i.e., the player may release the right finger.

Through the above steps S610 to S630, in the process of constructing the travel sub-path, an operation identifier corresponding to the path planning sub-operation is displayed in the graphical user interface, when the path planning sub-operation reaches the end position of the current travel sub-path, the current travel sub-path is constructed, and in response to the path planning sub-operation for the operation identifier, the next travel sub-path continuous with the current travel sub-path is constructed.

In one example embodiment of the present disclosure, when constructing a travel path from an initial position to a target position, if a path planning operation reaches an edge of a graphical user interface, a game view angle is controlled to be adjusted. Specifically, in the process of constructing the travel path, if the path planning operation reaches the edge of the graphical user interface, the player needs to continue extending the travel path to other virtual positions outside the virtual game scene corresponding to the current game view angle, and at this time, the game view angle can be controlled to be adjusted, so that the virtual game scene is adjusted.

For example, when the path planning operation reaches the top edge of the graphical user interface, the game view is controlled to adjust upwards.

For example, as shown in fig. 8, the gui 800 includes a plurality of virtual units 802, and after the path planning operation 801 (sliding touch operation) reaches the edge of the gui 800, the game view angle is controlled to be adjusted, so as to obtain a gui 803 after the reconciliation game view angle.

Further, when the travel path from the initial position to the target position is constructed, if the path planning operation reaches the edge of the graphical user interface, the game view angle can be controlled to be adjusted according to the direction of the path planning operation. For example, the path planning operation is a sliding touch operation, and the game view angle can be controlled to be adjusted according to the direction of the sliding touch operation when reaching the edge of the graphical user interface.

It should be noted that, the specific manner of controlling the game viewing angle to be adjusted in the present disclosure is not particularly limited.

In one example embodiment of the present disclosure, the virtual game object may be controlled to sequentially pass through the initial position, the at least one intermediate position, and the target position in accordance with the travel path in response to an end of the path planning operation. Specifically, after the path planning operation is finished, it may indicate that the travel path from the initial position to the target position has been constructed, and at this time, the virtual game object may be controlled to sequentially pass through the initial position and at least one intermediate position to reach the target position according to the travel path.

For example, the path planning operation is a sliding touch operation, and when the sliding touch operation is finished (e.g. the finger leaves the screen), the virtual game object can be controlled to sequentially pass through the initial position and at least one intermediate position to reach the target position according to the travelling path.

Note that, the end mode of the path planning operation is not particularly limited in this disclosure.
