In a possible implementation manner, the embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling skill release, and a graphical user interface is provided through a terminal device, where the terminal device may be a local terminal device (such as a local touch terminal) as mentioned above, or may be a client device in a cloud interaction system as mentioned above. The following description will take the case where the above skill release control method is executed in a local terminal device (hereinafter referred to as a terminal device).

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method for controlling skill release according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, a method for controlling skill release according to an embodiment of the present application includes:

and S101, before the target skill control is not associated with the virtual role, controlling the first virtual role to release the target skill to at least one second virtual role in the skill release range in response to the target skill meeting the skill release condition.

S102, responding to a first touch operation aiming at the target skill control and a second touch operation aiming at character identification of other virtual characters, and associating the target skill control with the target virtual character selected by the second touch operation.

And S103, after the target skill control is associated with the target virtual role, responding to the target skill meeting a skill release condition, and controlling the first virtual role to release the target skill to the associated target virtual role.

According to the control method for skill release, the target skill control is associated with the target virtual role through touch operation of the skill control and the role identification of the virtual role, after the target skill meets the skill release condition, the target skill can be automatically and pertinently released towards the target virtual role, and the pertinence and the accuracy of skill release can be improved while the skill release operation of a player is simplified.

Exemplary steps of embodiments of the present application are described below:

In this embodiment of the present application, the application is applicable to a scenario of automatic playing in a game, and before a target skill control is not set to be associated with a virtual character, if it is determined that a target skill meets a skill release condition, the system automatically controls the first virtual character to release the target skill to at least one second virtual character within a skill release range, that is, before the association of the target skill control and the virtual character is set, the automatic release of the target skill is performed indiscriminately, and if the target skill meets the skill release condition, the system releases the target skill to at least one second virtual character within the skill release range.

In one possible implementation, the target skill meeting the skill release condition may be a skill control corresponding to the target skill being touched, or may be an attack range in which the second virtual character moves to the first virtual character, or the like.

In one possible implementation manner, when the automatic release of the target skill is triggered, at least one second virtual character is automatically selected to perform the skill release within the skill release range of the target skill; the target skills may be released directly to a plurality of second virtual characters existing within the skill release range without selecting the second virtual character.

It is noted that the target skills released by the first virtual character may be attack skills or non-attack skills (treatment skills, etc.), i.e. the second virtual character that can release target skills for the first virtual character may be a teammate virtual character that is in the same camp as the first virtual character or an enemy virtual character that is in an hostile camp with the first virtual character.

In this embodiment of the present application, a manner of "semi-automatically" setting skill release is provided, where in a skill association setting state, a target skill control is associated with a target virtual character selected by a second touch operation with respect to a first touch operation of the target skill control and a second touch operation with respect to character representations of other virtual characters, so that a subsequent target skill may be released toward the target virtual character in a targeted manner.

In one possible implementation, an association setting control is further provided in the graphical user interface, and the player can enter a skill association setting state by touch operation of the association setting control to associate the target skill control with the target virtual character.

Specifically, the step of associating the target skill control with the target virtual character selected by the second touch operation in response to the first touch operation for the target skill control and the second touch operation for the character identification of the other virtual characters includes:

a1: and responding to a third touch operation aiming at the association setting control, and entering a skill association setting state.

a2: and responding to a first touch operation aiming at the target skill control and a second touch operation aiming at character identifications of other virtual characters, and associating the target skill control with the target virtual character selected by the second touch operation, wherein the character identifications of the other virtual characters are displayed on the graphical user interface according to preset conditions, or responding to the first touch operation aiming at the target skill control and are displayed on the graphical user interface.

In the embodiment of the application, the third touch operation of the association setting control is performed, so that the skill association setting state is entered, and the association relation between the target skill and the target virtual role can be set in the skill association state.

In one possible implementation, the association settings control may be a control that is set to reside in a graphical user interface; the control may be set to display the virtual character controlled by the player as a preset character type (such as a treatment type character) when the preset condition is met, and the associated setting control may be displayed for the player, or may be displayed when the automatic attack setting mode is determined to be entered.

In one possible implementation, the display position of the associated setting control in the graphical user interface may be any display position, but for a game of the hand-play type, since the skill control is generally disposed on the right side of the graphical user interface, then, in order to facilitate the two-hand operation mode of the player, the associated setting control is generally selected to be disposed on the other side of the skill control (i.e., the left side of the graphical user interface) to facilitate the skill associated setting operation of the player.

In this embodiment of the present application, the graphical user interface further displays character identifiers of other virtual characters except the first virtual character controlled by the player, where the character identifiers may be set to be always displayed in the graphical user interface, or may be displayed in the graphical user interface according to a preset condition, or after receiving the first touch operation for the skill control, the character identifiers of the other virtual characters are displayed on the graphical user interface.

Specifically, the operation of displaying the other virtual character identifiers is set before the game by the player according to the preset condition displayed in the graphical user interface, and then the character identifiers of the other virtual characters are displayed on the graphical user interface when the player starts the game process after entering the game; the other player who controls the other virtual character may perform a specific operation (e.g., send a notification to the first virtual character), and after receiving the specific operation of the other player, the character identifier corresponding to the other virtual character may be displayed on the graphical user interface.

Specifically, the other virtual roles are roles within a preset distance range of the first virtual role; alternatively, the other virtual character is a virtual character displayed in the graphical user interface.

In a possible implementation manner, considering the release range of the target skills and the situations of displaying the virtual characters in the graphical user interface and the situation of limited display range, when the character identifications of other virtual characters are displayed, the characters displayed in the preset distance range of the first virtual character are preferentially selected, wherein the preset range can be the release range of the target skills or the range which is autonomously divided according to the setting requirements; in order to ensure that the release target scope of target skills is wider, the scope of selecting other virtual roles can be enlarged, and the scope can be enlarged to other virtual roles displayed in the whole graphical user interface.

For other virtual characters not displayed in the gui, on the one hand, the target skills may not be released to the positions where the other virtual characters are located, on the other hand, the states of the other virtual characters not displayed in the gui may not be well judged, and whether the release of the target skills can be performed or not may not be accurately determined.

It should be noted that, there may be a certain difference in screening for other virtual characters with respect to different target skills, for example, if the target skill is an attack skill, then the skill generally needs to be released towards an enemy virtual character in an enemy camp, at this time, when screening for other virtual characters capable of displaying character identifications, screening may be performed first, and the enemy virtual character is determined as other virtual characters capable of displaying character identifications; in the case where the target skills of the first virtual character of the treatment class are released toward the teammate virtual characters in the same camp (the target skills are treatment skills at this time), or the target skills are released toward the enemy virtual characters in the enemy camp (the target skills are target skills at this time), it is not necessary to perform the screening of the other virtual characters again.

In a possible implementation manner, when determining other virtual characters, different display forms of the character identifiers of the other virtual characters may be displayed, and the different display forms of the character identifiers of the other virtual characters will be described below respectively:

specifically, the step of displaying the character identification on the graphical user interface comprises the steps of:

b1: and displaying character identifiers of other virtual characters in a preset range of the target skill control.

In one possible implementation, after determining other virtual roles that can be associated with the skills, the role identifications of the other virtual roles are displayed within a preset range of the target skill control.

Specifically, in order to ensure convenience of association operation of subsequent skills and roles, the role identifications of other virtual roles can be set in a preset range of the target skill control, and the multiple role identifications are uniformly distributed around the target skill control by taking the target skill control as a circle center.

Wherein the character identification may be a avatar identification of the player of the other virtual character, etc.

b2: and displaying a role identification list at a preset position of the graphical user interface.

In another possible implementation manner, the character identifiers of the multiple other virtual characters may be displayed in a list form, the character identifier list including the multiple character identifiers is displayed in the graphical user interface, and the displayed position may be within a preset range of the target skill control or any blank position in the graphical user interface, however, in order to ensure convenience of the association operation of the subsequent skill and the character, the character identifier list is preferentially selected to be displayed within the preset range of the target skill control.

When the plurality of character identifications are displayed in the form of a character identification list, besides the head identifications of players of other virtual characters, the character states of the other virtual characters corresponding to the character identifications and the information of whether the other virtual characters are in the same camp with the first virtual character can be displayed, so that the players can more accurately select the target virtual characters associated with the target skill control.

In one possible implementation, in a case where the third touch operation for the association setting control is continuous, the target skill control and the target virtual character may be associated by the first touch operation for the target skill control and the second touch operation for the character identification of the other virtual characters, and when the association operation is performed, the first touch operation and the second touch operation are continuous touch operations, and for different touch operation forms, the first touch operation and the second touch operation are different continuous modes.

Specifically, the first touch operation and the second touch operation are continuous clicking operations; or the first touch operation and the second touch operation are the same continuous sliding operation.

In one possible implementation, when the first touch operation and the second touch operation are both sliding operations, the player does not raise the hand when performing the operations when performing the association between the target skill control and the target virtual character, and at this time, the target skill control and the target virtual character to be associated may be selected according to the start position and the end position of the sliding operation.

Specifically, when the first touch operation and the second touch operation are the same continuous sliding operation, the step of "associating the target skill control with the target virtual character selected by the second touch operation in response to the first touch operation for the target skill control and the second touch operation for the character identification of the other virtual character" includes:

c1: and determining an operation starting position and an operation ending position of the sliding operation.

c2: and associating the target skill control at the operation starting point position with the target virtual character corresponding to the character identification at the operation ending position.

In the embodiment of the application, an operation starting point position and an operation ending point position of sliding operation are determined, and a target virtual character corresponding to a character identifier at the operation starting point position and the character identifier at the operation ending position is associated with the target skill control.

In one possible implementation, the number of associated target skill controls may be set to one or more, and the number of associated target virtual roles may be set to one or more for each skill control.

It is noted that whether to enter or exit the skill association setting state is controlled through an association setting control arranged in the graphical user interface, if the skill association setting state is entered, the association between the target skill control and the target virtual character can be set, if the skill association setting state is exited, the association setting between the target skill control and the target virtual character is represented, the operation is performed on the target skill control again, and the corresponding skill releasing operation can be performed instead of the skill association setting.

Specifically, the control method further includes:

d1: and responding to the ending of the third touch operation aiming at the association setting control, determining that the association setting between the target skill control and the target virtual role is completed, and exiting the skill association setting state.

In the embodiment of the application, when the third touch operation for the association setting control is determined to be finished, the association setting between the target skill control and the target virtual character is determined to be finished, the skill association setting state is exited, and after that, until the skill association setting state is entered again, the touch operation for the target skill control does not execute the association operation between the target skill control and the target virtual character any more.

In one possible implementation, after determining that the association setting between the target skill control and the target virtual role is completed and exiting the skill association setting state, the association identifier of the target associated role is displayed at the preset position of the target skill control so as to represent the number of target virtual roles associated with the target skill control and the specific target virtual role.

Specifically, after the step of associating the target skill control with the target virtual character selected by the second touch operation, the control method further includes:

e1: and displaying the target role identification associated with the target virtual role in an associated mode at the preset position of the target skill control.

In the embodiment of the application, the association identifier may be a nickname of the target virtual character, or may be a number of the target virtual character according to a certain rule sequence, so as to characterize the character identity of the target virtual character associated with the target skill control.

In the embodiment of the application, after the target skill control is associated with the target virtual character, when the target skill meets the skill release condition, the first virtual character is automatically controlled to release the target skill to the associated target virtual character, and the target skill is not released indiscriminately according to automatic selection.

Wherein, for the skill release conditions satisfied by the target skill, there may be different release condition schemes, and the following description will respectively refer to different skill release conditions:

specifically, the step of "controlling the first virtual character to release the target skill to the associated target virtual character in response to the target skill satisfying a skill release condition" includes:

f1: and controlling the first virtual role to automatically and continuously release target skills to the associated target virtual role in response to the ending of the first touch operation aiming at the target skill control.

In this embodiment of the present application, the first manner of triggering the release of the target skill towards the target virtual character is to automatically and continuously release the target skill to the target virtual character immediately after the first touch operation for the target skill control is completed, if the operation setting is completed when the association operation of the target skill control and the target virtual character is performed by the first touch operation for the target skill control and the second touch operation for the character identification of other virtual characters in the skill association setting state.

In one possible embodiment, the skill release for the target virtual character in the skill association setting state may be a one-time skill release or a continuous skill release.

In one possible implementation, when automatically releasing the target skills to the target virtual character, it is required to determine whether the target virtual character is within the release range of the target skills, and different release strategies are required to be determined according to the situation between the target virtual character and the release range of the target skills.

Specifically, the step of controlling the first virtual character to automatically and continuously release the target skill to the associated target virtual character in response to the end of the first touch operation for the target skill control includes:

g1: and detecting whether the target virtual character is within a skill release range of the target skill in response to the end of the first touch operation for the target skill control.

g2: if the target virtual role is not located in the skill release range of the target skill, controlling the first virtual role and/or the target skill to move until the target virtual role is located in the skill release range of the target skill, and controlling the first virtual role to automatically and continuously release the target skill to the associated target virtual role; or,

g3: and stopping controlling the first virtual role to release target skills to the associated target virtual roles until the target virtual roles move within the skill release range of the target skills, and controlling the first virtual role to automatically and continuously release the target skills to the associated target virtual roles.

In the embodiment of the application, according to the skill release range of the target skill, whether the current position of the target virtual role is within the skill release range is determined, and if the target virtual role is within the skill release range of the target skill, the first virtual role is controlled to automatically and continuously release the target skill to the associated target virtual role.

If it is determined that the target virtual character is not currently in the release range of the target skill, the attack of the associated skill towards the target virtual character can be considered from two directions, and at this time, the first virtual character and/or the target skill can be selectively controlled to move in the game scene until the target virtual character is in the skill release range of the target skill, and the target skill is released towards the target virtual character; on the other hand, the target skill is firstly paused and released, and when the target virtual character moves within the skill release range of the target skill, the target skill is released.

f2: and responding to a fourth touch operation aiming at the target skill control, controlling the first virtual role to automatically release target skills to the associated target virtual role.

In the embodiment of the application, after the association relationship between the target skill and the target virtual role is established, the first virtual role is controlled to automatically release the target skill to the associated target virtual role by clicking the target skill control again.

Similarly, when the target skill is automatically released to the target virtual character through the touch operation on the target skill control, whether the target virtual character is located in the release range of the target skill needs to be determined first, and different release strategies need to be determined according to the situation between the target virtual character and the release range of the target skill.

h1: and responding to a fourth touch operation aiming at the target skill control, and detecting whether the target virtual character is in the skill release range of the target skill.

h2: if the target virtual character is not located in the skill release range of the target skill, controlling the first virtual character and/or the target skill to move until the target virtual character is located in the skill release range of the target skill, and controlling the first virtual character to automatically release the target skill to the associated target virtual character; or,

h3: and controlling the first virtual character to release target skills towards other virtual characters within the skill release range of the target skills.

If the target virtual character is not located in the skill release range of the target skill, the target skill needs to be considered from two aspects, on one hand, the target skill needs to be released towards the target virtual character in real time, and at the moment, the first virtual character and/or the target skill can be selectively controlled to move in the game scene until the target virtual character is located in the skill release range of the target skill, and the target skill is released towards the target virtual character; alternatively, the target skill may be released to the target virtual character temporarily abandoned, and the skill may be released toward other target virtual characters within the skill release range of the target skill in a conventional skill release manner.

It should be noted that, the time for releasing the skills towards the other target virtual roles within the skill release scope of the target skills may be after the skill association setting state is finished, or in the skill association setting state, the target skills are associated with a plurality of virtual roles at the same time, so when one virtual role is not currently within the skill release scope of the target skills, the skill release towards the other virtual roles within the skill release scope may be preferentially performed, after the skill release is finished, the target virtual roles and/or the target skills are controlled to move until the target virtual roles are within the skill release scope of the target skills, and then the target skills are released towards the target virtual roles.

f3: and controlling the first virtual character to automatically and continuously release target skills to the associated target virtual character in response to the distance between the target virtual character and the first virtual character being smaller than a preset distance threshold.

In the embodiment of the application, after the association between the target skill control and the target virtual role is set, if the first virtual role or the distance between the target virtual role and the first virtual role is detected to be smaller than the preset distance threshold value in the process of moving the first virtual role or the target virtual role in the game scene, the first virtual role can be automatically controlled to release the target skill to the target virtual role which is automatically and continuously associated.

In one possible implementation, the preset distance threshold may be a release range of the target skill, or may be a distance threshold that is smaller than a distance represented by the release range of the target skill, so as to ensure that the target skill may be effectively released to the target virtual character, and specifically, the distance threshold may be set according to different game requirements, which is not limited herein specifically.

f4: and controlling the first virtual character to automatically and continuously release target skills to the associated target virtual character in response to the target virtual character being in a preset character state and the distance between the target virtual character and the first virtual character being smaller than a preset distance threshold.

In the embodiment of the application, after the association between the target skill control and the target virtual role is set, if the target virtual role is detected to be in the preset role state, and the distance between the target virtual role and the first virtual role is smaller than the preset distance threshold, the first virtual role is controlled to release the target skill to the associated target virtual role.

In one possible implementation, for different target skills, a specific skill release may be performed for different character states of the virtual character.

For example, if the target skill is a treatment type skill, when the target virtual character in the same camp as the first virtual character is in a low life value, the target skill is required to be automatically released to the target virtual character, and the target virtual character is treated in time.

In one possible implementation manner, in addition to determining that the target virtual character is in the preset character state, in order to ensure that the target skill can be more effectively released to the target virtual character, a distance threshold needs to be set, and when it is determined that the distance between the target virtual character and the first virtual character is smaller than the preset distance threshold, the release of the skill is performed, so that the success rate of the release of the target skill can be improved.

In another possible implementation manner, when the target virtual character is in the preset character state, the judging condition of the distance threshold value is not set any more, and after the association between the target skill control and the target virtual character is set, as long as the target virtual character is in the preset character state, the target skill is automatically routed to the current position of the target virtual character, and then the target skill is released for the target virtual character.

It should be noted that, in the implementation process of the actual scheme, the three ways of automatically releasing the control target skills can be used independently or cooperatively, so as to ensure that the target skills can be automatically released towards the target virtual roles in different states.

In one possible implementation, for a target skill control, the number of target virtual roles that can be associated with the target skill control can be one or more, and when the number of target virtual roles associated with the same target skill control is greater than one, a manner of releasing the skill to the target virtual roles needs to be determined according to the skill type of the target skill.

Specifically, when the number of target virtual characters associated with the target skill is plural, the step of "controlling the first virtual character to release target skill to the associated target virtual character in response to the target skill satisfying a skill release condition" includes:

i1: and when the target skills are single skills, controlling the first virtual role to sequentially release the target skills to a plurality of target virtual roles in response to the target skills meeting the skill release conditions.

In the embodiment of the application, when the target skills are single skills (only one target virtual character can be attacked by releasing the target skills once), the first virtual character is controlled to sequentially release the target skills to the plurality of target virtual characters when the target skills are determined to meet the skill release conditions.

In one possible implementation, the order of controlling the first virtual character to release the target skills to the plurality of target virtual characters may be determined according to the distance between each target virtual character and the first virtual character, for example, the release of the target skills may be performed sequentially from the target virtual character closest to the first virtual character toward the target virtual character at a far distance; it may also be determined according to the character status of each target virtual character, and similarly, for the above example, when the target skill is a skill of a treatment type, it is necessary to determine the order of skill release according to the character status of each target virtual character, and it is necessary to release the target skill preferentially toward the target virtual character with a lower life value.

i2: and when the target skills are group skills, controlling the first virtual role to simultaneously release the target skills to a plurality of target virtual roles in response to the target skills meeting a skill release condition.

In the embodiment of the application, when the target skills are group skills (the target skills can be released once to attack a plurality of target virtual roles), if the target skills meet the skill release conditions, the first virtual role is directly and automatically controlled to simultaneously release the target skills to the plurality of target virtual roles.

In one possible implementation, in the case that multiple target virtual characters are associated with one target skill, there may be cases that different target virtual characters are located at different positions or directions, so that when skill release to different target virtual characters is controlled, release needs to be selectively performed, and the cases that different virtual characters are located at different positions and different directions will be described below.

In one aspect, different target avatars are located at different locations:

specifically, the step of "controlling the first virtual character to simultaneously release target skills to a plurality of target virtual characters" includes:

j1: at least one target virtual character is determined that is within a skill release range of the target skill.

j2: and controlling the first virtual character to simultaneously release target skills to at least one target virtual character within the skill release range of the target skills.

In this embodiment of the present application, the target skills may have a skill release scope, and for the associated multiple target virtual characters, the target skills may not be located within the skill release scope of the target skills, so when releasing the target skills, at least one target virtual character located within the target skill release scope is determined first, and then the target skills are released for the multiple target virtual characters located within the skill release scope.

Specifically, for a target virtual character that is not within the skill release range of the target skill, after the target skill releases the target skill toward at least one target virtual character that is within the skill release range, the first virtual character and/or the target skill is controlled to move such that the target virtual character that is outside the skill release range of the target skill enters the skill release range, thereby releasing the target skill toward the target virtual character.

On the other hand, different target avatars are located at different directions:

k1: and determining a target skill release direction from the plurality of candidate skill release directions, wherein the target skill release direction is the direction with the largest number of the target virtual roles covered in the plurality of candidate skill release positions.

k2: and controlling the first virtual character to release the target skills towards the target skill release direction.

In the embodiment of the present application, when different target virtual roles are located in different directions, since the target skills can only be released towards one release direction when released at a time, at this time, one target skill release direction needs to be determined, and the maximum number of target virtual roles are covered in the target skill release direction, and then, the target skills are controlled to release the target skills towards the target skill release direction, so that when the target skills are released, the directions in which the target virtual roles are located can be ensured to be released as much as possible.

In another possible real-time manner, the skill release can be performed sequentially by controlling the target skills towards the directions of different target virtual characters, and the operation of releasing the target skills towards a plurality of target virtual characters can be completed within a period of time.

It should be noted that, whether the target skill is a single skill or a group skill, as long as the association setting between the target skill control and the target virtual character is not cancelled and the target skill satisfies the skill release condition, the target skill is automatically controlled to be released toward the target virtual character, that is, the target skill is not a one-time release skill, and the association between the target skill control and the target virtual character needs to be cancelled through the touch operation for the association setting control.

Specifically, the control method further includes:

l1: responding to a fifth touch operation aiming at the association setting control, and releasing the association between the target skill control and the target virtual role; the fifth touch operation and the third touch operation are different operation modes.

In this embodiment of the present application, after the third touch operation for the association setting control is finished, when a fifth touch operation different from the third touch operation is received again, it is determined that the player needs to release the association between the target skill control and the target virtual character, and then after the fifth touch operation for the association setting control is received, the association between the target skill control and the target virtual character is directly released.

In one possible implementation, the third touch operation is a long press operation, and the fifth touch operation is a click operation.

It is noted that after the fifth touch operation for the association setting control is received, the association between all target skill controls and target virtual roles with association relation needs to be released, and then the release of skills is performed in a manner of automatic application before the association relation between the skill controls and the virtual roles is set, until the association between the target skill controls and the target virtual roles set by the player is received again.

The following will describe, by way of specific example, a control procedure for skill release in the embodiments of the present application, where in this example, setting an association between a target skill control and a target virtual character is described as an example:

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a third schematic diagram of the graphical user interface provided in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 4, after the target skill control 202 and the third virtual character 207 are set, and after a click operation for the association setting control is received again, the association between the target skill control 202 and the third virtual character 207 is cancelled, and the character prompt identifier displayed in the vicinity of the target skill control 202 is not displayed any more until the display of the corresponding character prompt identifier is performed after the skill association setting is received again.

According to the skill release control method, before the target skill control is not associated with the virtual role, when the target skill meets the skill release condition, the first virtual role releases the target skill towards at least one second virtual role in the skill release range; after receiving a first touch operation aiming at the target skill control and a second touch operation aiming at character identifications of other virtual characters, associating the target skill control with the target virtual character, and after associating the target skill control with the target virtual character, controlling the first virtual character to release target skills towards the target virtual character in a targeted manner when the target skills meet the skill release conditions. In the embodiment of the application, the target skill control is associated with the target virtual character through the touch operation of the skill control and the character identification of the virtual character, and after the association, if the target skill meets the skill release condition, the target skill can be automatically and pertinently released towards the target virtual character, so that the skill release operation of a player is simplified, and the pertinence and the accuracy of the skill release can be improved.
