And the player logs in the game application program by using the registered game account number, and can control the virtual character corresponding to the game account number to participate in the game. When a player logs in to a game application, terminal 1001 sends a login request to server 1002, server 1002 verifies the game account number used by the player, and server 1002 determines the game mechanism corresponding to the game account number according to the login request, and the verification passes returns a login success notification to terminal 1001. During the game of a player through a game application, data interaction is performed between the terminal 1001 and the server 1002, the terminal 1001 transmits various information to the server 1002, the server 1002 determines display data of the terminal 1001 according to a stored game mechanism and the received information, and transmits the display data to the terminal 1001 to show the display data transmitted by the server 1002 to the player through the terminal 1001.

In a possible application scenario, different terminals 1001 may be served by different servers 1002, so in order to distinguish between the servers 1002 corresponding to different gaming terminals 1001, the first and second modes will be described when they are referred to in the embodiment of the present application. In practice, the servers 1002 corresponding to the different gaming terminals 1001 may be the same server 1002. It can be understood that the terminals 1001 corresponding to the virtual characters located in the same game scene are served by the same server 1002 without distinguishing the first and second.

In addition, when the game system 1000 includes a plurality of terminals, a plurality of servers, a plurality of networks, different terminals may be connected to each other through different networks, through different servers. The network may be a wireless network or a wired network, such as a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), a Local Area Network (LAN), a cellular network, a 2G network, a 3G network, a 4G network, a 5G network, etc. In addition, the different terminals may be connected to other terminals or to a server or the like using their own bluetooth network or hotspot network. In addition, the system 100 may include multiple databases coupled to different servers and information related to the game may be continuously stored in the databases as different users play the multi-user game online.

It should be noted that the schematic game system shown in fig. 1 is only an example, and the game system 1000 described in the embodiment of the present application is for more clearly describing the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, and does not constitute a limitation to the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, and those skilled in the art can know that the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application is equally applicable to similar technical problems with evolution of the game system and occurrence of new service scenarios.

It should be noted that, operations occurring in the following detailed description of the interaction method of the game prop provided by the embodiment of the present application may be regarded as operations implemented by the player through a finger or a medium such as a control mouse, a keyboard or a stylus. Which medium is specifically used may be determined according to the type of electronic device. For example, when the electronic device is a touch screen device such as a cell phone, tablet, gaming machine, etc., the player may operate on the touch screen via any suitable object or accessory such as a finger, stylus, etc. When the terminal equipment is a non-touch screen terminal equipment such as a desktop computer, a notebook computer and the like, a player can operate through external equipment such as a mouse, a keyboard and the like.

The technical scheme of the application is described in detail through specific examples. It should be noted that the following embodiments may be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart of an example of a skill switching method in a game according to an embodiment of the present application. It should be noted that the steps shown may be performed in a different logical order than that shown in the method flow diagram. The method may include the following steps S210 to S250.

Step S210: providing a graphical user interface through the terminal device, the graphical user interface comprising at least part of a game scene of a game and a first control; the game scene comprises a scene area for providing preset competitive activities, wherein the scene area comprises a first virtual role and a second virtual role, and the first virtual role and the second virtual role belong to the same camp; the first control is for controlling the first virtual character to release the first game skill.

In the embodiment of the application, a graphical user interface is provided through the terminal equipment, and the graphical user interface displays at least part of game scenes and first controls of the game.

The game scene may be understood as a simulation environment of the real world in the game, may be a half-simulation half-fictional virtual environment, or may be a pure fictional virtual environment. The game scene may be any one of a two-dimensional virtual scene, a 2.5-dimensional virtual scene, and a three-dimensional virtual scene. A virtual scene may generally include a plurality of scene elements, which refer to individual elements required to construct the virtual scene. For example, at least one of the following may be included, but is not limited to: virtual character elements, virtual article elements, virtual building elements, virtual terrain elements, virtual vegetation elements, and the like. Wherein, the virtual topography elements can include, but are not limited to, natural topography element virtual scenes such as land, sea, lake, river, etc., as scenes where players control virtual characters to complete game logic.

In the embodiment of the present application, the game scene may at least include a scene area for providing a preset competitive activity. Specifically, the game scene displayed in the graphical user interface may be only a virtual scene corresponding to the scene area, or may include other scenes corresponding to the virtual game.

It can be appreciated that the preset athletic activity is a preset athletic activity that may be performed by team combat. For example, the preset competitive activities may include, but are not limited to, fighting games, racing games, etc., by way of example only, and not by way of limitation.

In the embodiment of the application, the scene area can be one or more of a circle, a rectangle, a triangle and an irregular graph, the shape of the scene area is not particularly limited, and the scene area can be specifically designed according to game requirements. In the following embodiments of the present application, in order to be able to describe the present application in detail, a scene area is taken as an example of a rectangle.

In an alternative embodiment, the scene area may have a highlighted area boundary, where the area boundary is used to distinguish the scene area from the surrounding game scene, so that the player can accurately determine whether the scene area is located when performing a preset competitive activity in the scene area. The region boundaries of the scene region may be highlighted and may also have a display effect, which may be one of a smoke effect, a light effect, etc., for example, the region boundaries of the scene region may be displayed by a circle of lighter smoke. In this way, when a player searches for a game world in the game world, the player can control the virtual character to be operated to enter the scene area according to the area boundary corresponding to the scene area.

Each virtual control which is interacted with the graphical user interface by the player is also arranged in the graphical user interface, and each virtual control is provided with corresponding game logic. And the player interacts with the game by controlling the virtual control, and executes game logic corresponding to the virtual control. Types of virtual controls include, but are not limited to, skill controls, prop controls, information cue controls, and the like. Such as a control to move a virtual character, a skill control to attack an enemy, a prop control to use a prop, etc. The virtual controls may be designed according to the type and play of the game to allow the player to more conveniently control the game. In the game design stage, a designer designs virtual controls to be displayed on a game interface according to game play, and the virtual controls are provided for players in the game so that the players can interact with the game. In the embodiment of the application, a first control is provided in a graphical user interface, wherein the first control is a virtual control for controlling a first virtual character to release a first game skill. In this embodiment, the first game skill may include an attack skill, that is, the first virtual character releases the skill to cause damage to the remaining virtual characters, so as to reduce the life value of the remaining virtual characters or eliminate the remaining virtual characters.

It will be appreciated that various interface contents to be displayed are typically presented in a graphical user interface in layers, which refers to a layered display manner in the graphical user interface, and that different contents may be placed on different layers in order to better control the display and hiding of the interface contents. Such as: in a game, a game scene may be placed on a scene layer and a virtual control may be placed on a control layer. Because virtual controls are interface elements for players to interact with the game, the display layer of the control layer on which the virtual controls are placed is typically higher than the scene layer of the game scene. That is, the display level of the first control is higher than the display level of the scene picture. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the scene picture is a game scene, and both express the same meaning.

The first virtual character and the second virtual character are displayed in the scene area. It is understood that a virtual character is a game character that a player manipulates in a game. The virtual characters may represent player characters, and each virtual character may be implemented as a three-dimensional virtual model or a two-dimensional virtual model, and the embodiment is not particularly limited. The virtual character includes, but is not limited to, at least one of a virtual character, a virtual animal, and a virtual machine.

In this embodiment, the first virtual character may be a virtual character controlled by a terminal device that provides the graphical user interface, and the second virtual character is a virtual character that belongs to the same camp as the first virtual character. The first virtual character and the second virtual character belong to the same camp, and can be understood as teammates, and the teams of the first virtual character and the second virtual character play a game. The virtual roles belonging to different camps are enemies.

It should be noted that the number of the first virtual characters and the second virtual characters is not particularly limited, and may include one or more. The second virtual character may be a virtual character controlled by a terminal device providing a graphical user interface, which is controlled by the same player logging in a different game account, and the embodiment is not particularly limited.

Step S220: in response to a first trigger operation for the first control, determining a first game skill as a skill to be released for the first virtual character.

In this embodiment, the first triggering operation may include, but is not limited to, a touch operation such as clicking, pressing, sliding, dragging, etc. on the first control, a shortcut key operation, a voice command operation, a space gesture operation, etc. The specific manner of operation may be set according to the specific game play, and the present embodiment is not particularly limited. For example, the first control is triggered when a gesture of "OK" of the player is detected.

When a player applies a first trigger operation to a first control, the electronic device responds to the first trigger operation to execute game logic preset for the first control, wherein in the embodiment, the game logic preset for the first control is a game logic of determining a first game skill as a skill to be released of a first virtual character.

It will be appreciated that the skill to be released is the game skill that the first virtual character will release in the game scene. For example, when the first game skill is an attack skill, the attack skill is determined to be a skill to be released in response to the first trigger operation, that is, the first virtual character is to release the attack skill in the game scene.

Step S230: in a case where the first trigger operation is continued, in response to a selection operation for a skill release direction of a skill to be released, a targeting object located within a skill release range corresponding to the first game skill in the skill release direction selected by the selection operation is determined.

It will be appreciated that in the case where the first trigger operation is continued, the first trigger operation may be understood as uninterrupted. That is, in the present embodiment, the first virtual character is controlled to perform the selection operation of the skill release direction for the skill to be released without interruption of the first trigger operation. In other words, the first triggering operation and the selecting operation described above are two operations that are continuous and uninterrupted.

The skill releasing direction refers to a specific direction in which the player controls the first virtual character to release the skill in the game scene. In this embodiment, the above skill release range may be understood as a range that can be affected after the skill is released, which is preset for the first game skill.

The above-mentioned selection operation for the skill release direction of the skill to be released may include, but is not limited to, a shortcut key operation, a mouse sliding operation, a touch operation for a virtual control provided on a graphical user interface, a voice instruction operation, or a space gesture operation, etc. For specific selection operations, reference may be made to the following description, which is not repeated here.

The aim object can be understood as a target virtual character aligned when the player controls the first virtual character to release the skill to be released, and is a target for attack or rescue through colloquial understanding. The number of aiming objects in the embodiment is not particularly limited, and the aiming objects can be designed according to specific game requirements.

Step S240: and if the aiming object is a second virtual character, switching the skill to be released into a preset second game skill.

In the embodiment of the application, the game logic to be executed later can be judged by detecting the camping to which the aiming object belongs. And if the aiming object is a second virtual character belonging to the same camp as the first virtual character, executing game skill switching operation, namely determining a preset second game skill as the game skill to be released of the first virtual character. A skill switching operation of switching the game skill to be released from the first game skill to the second game skill is realized.

The second game skill may be a game skill set for enabling interaction between a player and teammates during a game development stage. For example, the second game skill may be a game skill that rescuing for the second virtual character. For example, in a pusher game, if the second virtual character is located at the edge of the arena, the second game skill may include drag game skill, i.e., pulling the second virtual character back into the arena to achieve a rescue of teammates.

Step S250: and controlling the movement of the second virtual character through the second game skill in response to the ending of the first triggering operation.

In an alternative embodiment, in response to the ending of the first triggering operation, the first virtual character may be further controlled to release the second game skill as the skill to be released for the second virtual character, and a release effect of the second game skill is displayed on the graphical user interface.

It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the above-mentioned control of the movement of the second virtual character by the second game skill may be control of the movement of the second virtual character by any teammate in the second game skill following team, for example, when the second game skill is a "following", "gathering" or "directive" skill, where the virtual character to be followed moves, the second virtual character will follow, and at this time, the second game skill needs to indicate the following range or the following distance of the second virtual character.

Or in other embodiments, the second virtual character may also be controlled by the second game skill to move toward a target location indicated by the second game skill. The target position indicated by the second game skill may be understood as a corresponding position in a scene area preset for the second game skill. The target location may be any location in the game scene. For example, the target location indicated by the second game skill includes, but is not limited to, a vicinity of the current location of the first virtual character in the scene area, any blank location in the game scene, and so forth. The present embodiment is not particularly limited. When the target position indicated by the second game skill is the current position of the first virtual character in the scene area, the second virtual character can be controlled to move towards the first virtual character through the second game skill at the end of the first trigger operation.

By the method, the game camping of the aiming object aimed by the skill to be released is detected in the game, and when the aiming object is a second virtual character which belongs to the same camping as the first virtual character controlled by the player, skill switching can be realized, and the preset second game skill for interacting with teammates is determined as the skill to be released of the first virtual character. And controlling the second virtual character to move to a position indicated by the second game skill by releasing the second game skill for the second virtual character. Therefore, teammates can realize skill switching according to the game camping to which the aiming object belongs without communication, and team combat capability in the game is enhanced; in addition, the player does not need to execute complicated operation, and skill switching is automatically realized according to the game camping to which the aiming object belongs after the aiming object is determined according to conventional operation, so that the team fight efficiency is improved.

The following detailed description is directed to some specific embodiments or alternative embodiments provided in embodiments of the present application.

In some optional embodiments, a first indication identifier corresponding to the first game skill may also be displayed on the graphical user interface according to the selection operation; the first indication identifies a skill release direction and a skill release range for indicating a first game skill. The first indication identifier may be presented in graphical form. For example, the skill release range is indicated by the arrow length with the arrow facing the direction of indicating skill release. By displaying the first indication mark, the player can be helped to clearly and intuitively know the skill release direction and skill release range of the skill to be released and the virtual role aimed by the skill to be released, the player can be helped to accurately control and predict the action effect of the first game skill, and the operation sense and immersion sense of the player are enhanced.

Accordingly, in some alternative embodiments, when the preset second game skill is determined to be the skill to be released, the first indication identifier is switched to the second indication identifier; the second indication identifier is used for indicating a movement direction in which the second game skill controls the second virtual character to be moved. The moving direction may be the same as the preset direction, and the second indication mark may be displayed in a graphic form. For example, the direction of movement indicated by the second indicator may be opposite to the direction of skill release indicated by the first indicator.

The skill switching method in the above game will be described by way of the following specific game scenario examples.

As shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 3 provides a schematic representation of an example of a graphical user interface. In the graphical user interface 300, a game scene 10 and a first control 20 are displayed, wherein the game scene 10 is at least part of the game scene of the game. A first virtual character 12 and a second virtual character 13 are also displayed in the game scene 10 including a scene area 11 providing a preset athletic activity. In response to a first trigger operation for the first control 20, as shown in the graphical user interface 301 shown in fig. 3, application of the first trigger operation for the first control 20 is represented in a gray filled state. In response to the first trigger operation, a first game skill corresponding to the first control 20 is determined as a skill to be released for the first virtual character 12.

In the case where the first trigger operation applied to the first control 20 is continued without interruption, as shown in a graphical user interface 302 shown in fig. 3, in response to a selection operation of a skill release direction for skill release of skill to be released, a first indication mark 30 is displayed in the graphical user interface 302, the first indication mark 30 being presented in the form of an arrow, the direction indicated by the first indication mark 30 being the skill release direction of skill to be released, and the display area of the first indication mark 30 (white arrow filled portion in the scene area 11 in the graphical user interface 302) can be regarded as a skill release range.

In this example, a second virtual character 13 located within the display area of the first indication mark 30 may be determined as a targeting object, and a preset second game skill may be determined as a skill to be released by the first virtual character 12; when the preset second game skill is determined as the skill to be released by the first virtual character 12, the first indication mark 30 is displayed as the second indication mark 31 of the second game skill in a switching manner as shown in a graphical user interface 303 shown in fig. 3. In this specific example, the movement direction indicated by the second indication mark 31 to control the movement of the second virtual character 13 is opposite to the skill release direction of the skill to be released by the first indication mark 30. On the basis of the graphical user interface 303, the finger acting on the first control 20 in the graphical user interface 303 is lifted, i.e. the first triggering operation in this example ends. The second virtual character 13 is controlled to move to the vicinity of the first virtual character as shown in the graphical user interface 304 shown in fig. 3 in response to the end of the first triggering operation.

In some optional embodiments, the scene area further includes a third virtual character belonging to a different camping from the first virtual character, and the number of the third virtual characters is not particularly limited. If the targeting object determined in the step S230 is the third virtual character, the method further includes the following step S260.

Step S260: and if the aiming object is the third virtual character, responding to the ending of the first triggering operation, and controlling the first virtual character to release the first game skill aiming at the third virtual character.

That is, when the target is the third virtual character, that is, when the skill to be released targets the enemy, the skill switching operation is not performed, and after the end of the response to the first trigger operation, the first virtual character is controlled to release the first game skill for the third virtual character.

In an alternative embodiment, the method further includes the following step S270.

Step S270: controlling, by the first game skill, the third virtual character to move in the first direction by a distance indicated by the first game skill; the first direction is a ray direction from the location of the first virtual character to the location of the third virtual character.

That is, in this embodiment, when the first game skill acts on the third virtual character, the effect of the position movement is generated on the third virtual character. And the direction of movement for the third virtual character is a direction away from the first virtual character.

For example, in combination with the above example, when the preset athletic activity is a pushing activity, in the athletic activity, the virtual character controlled by the opponent is pushed out of the scene area corresponding to the preset athletic activity, so that the player can obtain the win. As shown in fig. 4, a third virtual character 14 is also included in the graphical user interface 300, the third virtual character 14 belonging to a different camp than the first virtual character 12. Based on the above-described gui 300, when the first trigger operation is applied to the first control 20 to determine the first game skill as the skill to be released of the first virtual character, and in response to the selection operation of the skill release direction for the skill to be released, the above-described gui 300 is displayed as the gui 305, the first indication mark 30 is displayed in the gui 305, and in the gui 305, the direction indicated by the first indication mark 30 is the skill release direction of the first game skill, and the display area (white arrow filled portion in the scene area 11 in the gui 305) of the first indication mark 30 can be regarded as the skill release range of the first game skill.

In this example, the third avatar 14 located within the display area of the first indicator 30 may be determined to be a sighting target. And if the player lifts the finger that is applied to the first control 20 in the gui 303 when the third virtual character 14 is the target object, that is, the first trigger operation in this example ends, the trigger operation for the first control 20 is identified in the gui 306 in a white filled state. At the end of the response to the first triggering operation, the third virtual character 14 is controlled to move in a first direction (indicated by the dashed arrow) and a distance indicated by the first game skill, as shown in the graphical user interface 306 shown in fig. 4.

It can be seen that the first direction is the direction of the ray from the location of the first virtual character 12 to the location of the third virtual character 14.

In this example, the method may further include controlling, by the first game skill, the third virtual character to move a distance indicated by the first game skill in the first direction, and then obtaining a target position of the third virtual character, where in the method, determining whether the target position is located in the scene area, and if the target position is located outside the scene area, indicating that the third virtual character fails to play.

In an alternative embodiment, the above step S230 may specifically implement the determination of the aiming object by the following step S231.

Step S231: responding to the selection operation of the skill release direction aiming at the skill to be released, and taking the virtual character which is positioned in the skill release range in the skill release direction selected by the selection operation and is closest to the position of the first virtual character as the aiming object of the skill to be released.

It will be appreciated that, upon selection of a skill release direction in accordance with a selection operation of the skill release direction, a virtual character that is theoretically within the skill release range of that skill release direction may include a plurality of second or third virtual characters. In this case, the virtual character closest to the position where the first virtual character is located may be taken as the targeting object of the skill to be released. That is, in this competitive activity, the game skill released by the first virtual character can only act on the virtual character nearest to the first virtual character.

As shown in fig. 5, it is assumed that the first virtual character 12, the second virtual character 13, and the third virtual character 14 are displayed in the scene area 11 in the graphical user interface 307. When the second virtual character 13 is located at the edge of the scene area, the player can control the first virtual character 12 to release the second game skill for the second virtual character 13 through the above-described embodiment, and when the second virtual character 13 is within the skill release range in the skill release direction in which the skill is to be released, it is assumed that, as shown by a broken line in the graphic user interface 307, at this time, the second virtual character 13 is pulled back to the position where the first virtual character 12 is located for the second virtual character 13 to release the second game skill through skill switching.

In this example, in the course of the player performing the first trigger operation for the first control 20 and the selection operation for the skill release direction of the skill to be released to achieve skill switching, as shown in the graphical user interface 308 in fig. 5, if the third virtual character 14 moves between the first virtual character 12 and the second virtual character 13 at this time, the third virtual character 14 is taken as the targeting object.

For the above embodiments, when the aiming object is the second virtual character, the first game skill to be released is automatically switched to the second game skill, which has the advantages of reducing the operation of the player and reducing the learning cost and the memory burden of the player. However, in the above manner, in the multi-person mixed mode, there is a risk that an incorrect operation is likely to occur, for example, a team-friend-controlled second virtual character is attacking an opponent, but a player's incorrect operation releases a second game skill for the second virtual character, resulting in a change in the position of the second virtual character to fail the attack of the second virtual character.

In an alternative embodiment, in step S240, if the targeting object is the second virtual character, determining the preset second game skill as the skill to be released may be implemented as follows step S241.

Step S241: and if the aiming object is a second virtual character, responding to skill switching operation, and determining a preset second game skill as a skill to be released.

That is, when it is detected that the sighting target is the second virtual character, skill switching needs to be achieved by the player performing skill switching operation. Therefore, the player can play the game according to own will and strategy, the participation degree and immersion sense of the player are enhanced, the decision making capability of the player is improved, the responsibility sense of the player is enhanced, and the operation experience of the player is enriched.

It should be noted that the skill switching operation described above is an operation applied in the case where the first trigger operation is continuous. The skill switching operation may include, but is not limited to, a touch operation, a shortcut key operation, a voice command operation, or a space gesture operation, etc., which is not limited thereto.

In an alternative embodiment, the first game skill is determined as the skill to be released in response to the skill switch cancel operation with the skill switch operation described above continued. Namely, the skill switching operation described above is canceled. It will be appreciated that this skill switch cancel operation typically corresponds to the skill switch operation described above. By setting the skill switch cancel operation, the player is allowed to regret after the second game skill is determined as the skill to be released, namely, the player is provided with more choices, and the game experience of the player is improved.

In a specific alternative embodiment, the skill switch operation is a skill switch operation including a first sliding operation for the first control that is continuous with the first trigger operation.

It is understood that the above-described first sliding operation is a preset sliding operation, and the sliding direction and the sliding distance of the sliding operation may be specifically set according to the game scenario. This embodiment is not limited thereto. For example, the first slide operation may be a slide operation of sliding down 3 pixels with the first control as a start point.

Correspondingly, in an alternative embodiment, the skill switch cancel operation includes a second sliding operation for the first control having a sliding direction opposite to the sliding direction of the first sliding operation. It can be appreciated that the end position of the second sliding operation is the home position of the first control.

In connection with the graphical user interface 302 of fig. 3, as shown in fig. 6, in the graphical user interface 302, a first indication identifier 30 has been displayed in the graphical user interface 302 in response to a first triggering operation for the first control 20. Based on the graphical user interface 302, in the graphical user interface 309 shown in fig. 6, if the player slides downward a certain distance with the first control 20 as a starting point when the first trigger operation is applied, the first indication mark 30 displayed in the graphical user interface 302 is switched to be displayed as the second indication mark 31 displayed in the graphical user interface 309. In the graphical user interface 309 shown in fig. 6, the above-described first sliding operation is an operation of sliding from the position of the first control 20 shown in the dotted line box and filled in light gray to the position of the first control 20 shown in the solid line box and filled in dark gray. Of course, the display forms herein are merely examples, and do not constitute limitation of the present embodiment.

Based on the above-described graphical user interface 309, as in the graphical user interface 310 shown in fig. 6, after the player can display the second indication mark 31 by sliding the first control 20 downward in the graphical user interface 309, in a case where the downward sliding operation is not interrupted (i.e., the player does not raise his hand), the second sliding operation having the sliding direction opposite to the sliding direction of the above-described first sliding operation is performed for the first control 20, and the termination position of the second sliding operation is the home position of the first control, the switching of the first game skill to the second game skill, that is, the first game skill is redetermined to the skill to be released of the first virtual character, is canceled, and the second indication mark 31 displayed in the graphical user interface 309 is switched to be displayed as the first indication mark 30. In the graphical user interface 310 shown in fig. 6, the above-described second sliding operation is to slide the first control 20, which is shown in a dotted line box and filled in light gray, to the position where the first control 20, which is shown in a solid line box and filled in dark gray, is located. Of course, the display forms herein are merely examples, and do not constitute limitation of the present embodiment.

In an alternative embodiment, if the targeting object is a second virtual character, displaying a first skill switch control at a corresponding position of the first control; and determining the preset second game skill as the skill to be released by taking the first sliding operation of the first control, which is continuous with the first triggering operation, as the first sliding operation taking the first control as a starting point and taking the first skill switching control as an ending point.

That is, in this embodiment, when the aim object is detected as the second virtual character, first, a first skill switching control is displayed in the graphical user interface, and when the player applies an operation to the first skill switching control, a preset second game skill is determined as a skill to be released. By displaying a skill switching control in the graphical user interface, clear and instant skill switching guide information can be provided for the player, and the player can quickly become familiar with skill switching operation according to the first skill switching control, so that the learning cost of the player is reduced.

It can be understood that the corresponding position of the first control may be a position preset for the first control and used for displaying the first skill switching control, and the position is not particularly limited in this embodiment, and may be adjusted according to the layout of the display position of the control in the game.

As shown in fig. 7, in combination with the graphical user interface 300, the graphical user interface 301, and the graphical user interface 302 in fig. 3, after the first indication mark 30 is displayed in the graphical user interface 302, if the pointing object is the second virtual character 13, the first skill switching control 21 is displayed in the vicinity of the first control 20 displayed in the graphical user interface 311. After the first skill switch control 21 is displayed, the player may perform a sliding operation along the sliding path indicated by the broken line 16 without interruption of the pressing operation, as in the graphical user interface 312 shown in fig. 7, when the termination position of the sliding operation is located at the position where the first skill switch control 21 is located, determine the second game skill as the skill to be released, and switch the first indication mark 30 displayed in the graphical user interface 311 to the second indication mark 31 in the graphical user interface 312.

In an alternative embodiment, it may be understood that, when the skill switching operation is an operation for the first control, if a selection function for a skill release direction of a skill to be released is further set for the first control, the difficulty of self-consistent logic of each game corresponding to the first control is increased, and the operation difficulty of a player is also easily increased.

To address the above, in this embodiment, a second control may be provided in the graphical user interface; the second control is used for controlling the first virtual character to move in the game scene; on this basis, the selection operation of the skill release direction for the skill to be released in the above embodiment may include a trigger operation for the second control. The above step S230 may be implemented specifically as follows.

In response to a second trigger operation for the second control, the first virtual character is controlled to move in the scene area, and a moving direction of the first virtual character is determined as a skill release direction, and an aim object within a skill release range in the skill release direction is determined.

That is, in this embodiment, the movement direction of the first virtual character may be taken as the skill release direction. The selection operation and skill switching operation of the skill releasing direction are respectively realized by adopting the two controls, so that the operation difficulty of a player and the difficulty of self-consistent relation between game logics can be reduced.

As shown in fig. 8, in conjunction with the graphical user interface 300 of fig. 3, a second control 22 is also displayed in the graphical user interface 300, the second control 22 including a rocker 23 and a control operating area boundary 24. Based on the graphical user interface 300, when a pressing operation is applied to the first control 20, the graphical user interface 300 is switched to be displayed as a graphical user interface 301, and the second control 22 is also displayed in the graphical user interface 301. Based on the graphical user interface 301, when the pressing operation for the first control 20 is not interrupted, a second triggering operation is applied for the second control 22, specifically, a sliding operation may be applied for the rocker 23 in the second control 22, for example, the rocker 23 is slid to the right within the control operation area boundary 24, the state in which the rocker 23 is not moved is represented in the unfilled state in the graphical user interface 302, and the state after the movement of the rocker is represented in the gray filled state. The first virtual character 12 is controlled to move to the right in the scene area 11 in response to the direction of sliding for the rocker 23 and a first indication mark 30 to the right is displayed as in the graphical user interface 302. It will be appreciated that the direction of movement of the first virtual character 12 and the direction of skill release indicated by the first indicator 30 remain consistent with the direction of sliding of the rocker 23. That is, in the present embodiment, the direction indicated by the second trigger operation is taken as the skill release direction of the skill to be released.

In an alternative embodiment, in step S210, a second skill switch control is further provided in the graphical user interface; the method for switching skills in a game provided by the embodiment of the application can further comprise the following step S280.

Step S280: and in response to a third trigger operation for the second skill switching control, configuring a preset second game skill for the first control.

Optionally, the second skill switch control is highlighted according to a third trigger operation. Highlighting the second skill switch control after being triggered may prompt the player that the first control has been equipped with the second game skill.

It is to be understood that this step S280 may be performed before the above step S220 or before the above step S230, and the present embodiment is not particularly limited.

Accordingly, in the step S240, if the target object is the second virtual character, the predetermined second game skill is determined to be the skill to be released, and the first control is required to be executed when the predetermined second game skill is configured.

The game logic corresponding to the second skill switching control is to configure a preset second game skill for the first control, namely, an association relation is established between the first control and the preset second game skill, so that when a player triggers the first control in a certain way, the first virtual character can be controlled by the first control to release the second game skill. In other words, when the player does not trigger the second skill switching control, the first control does not have the second game skill, and at this time, if the player triggers the first control, only the first game skill can be released; if the player triggers the second skill switching control, the second game skill can be configured for the first control, and then the player can realize skill switching through different triggering modes or different triggering occasions so as to control the first virtual character to release the second game skill through the first control.

The third triggering operation may include, but is not limited to, a clicking operation, a pressing operation, a touch operation, a shortcut key operation, a voice command operation, a space gesture operation, etc. for the second skill switch control, which is not limited.

In this embodiment, highlighting may include highlighting that the second skill switch control is displayed in a different manner than the current second skill switch control. Highlighting may include one or more of the following exemplary display modes: highlighting, stroking, control style adjustment, additional special effects, or strobing. Highlighting refers to displaying the display brightness of the second skill-switching control after being triggered at a brightness that exceeds the original display brightness. The tracing display refers to thickening display or display with preset color of the border of the second skill switching control after being triggered. The control style adjustment display refers to displaying the control display style of the second skill switching control after being triggered in a mode different from the original control display style, for example, adjusting the square control to be a round control, that is, distinguishing and displaying the second skill switching control before and after being triggered in the control display style of different shapes. The stroboscopic display means that the triggered second skill switching control is flashed according to the preset frequency within the preset time, and the additional special effect display means that the flame special effect, the icing special effect and the like are added to the surface of the second skill switching control. In this embodiment, an exemplary description is given with highlighting as highlighting.

As shown in fig. 9, in conjunction with the graphical user interface 300 shown in fig. 3, a second skill switch control 25 is also displayed in the graphical user interface 300 in addition to the first control 20, and after the player clicks on this second skill switch control 25, a preset second game skill is configured for the first control 20, and the second skill switch control 25 is highlighted (shown highlighted in a gray filled state) in the graphical user interface 313 in fig. 9. At this time, it is indicated that the second game skill has been assembled for the first control, and on this premise, a subsequent skill switching operation is performed.

In an alternative embodiment, a third control is further provided in the graphical user interface, where the third control is configured to control the movement of the first virtual character in the game scene. If the target object is the second virtual character, the determining the preset second game skill as the skill to be released may be specifically implemented as follows.

If the aiming object is a second virtual character, displaying a third skill switching control at a corresponding position of a control operation area of the third control under the condition that a preset second game skill is not configured for the first control; and responding to a fourth triggering operation for the third skill switching control, controlling the first virtual character to move in the game scene, and determining the preset second game skill as the skill to be released.

The embodiment is a specific manner of realizing skill switching when the player does not trigger the second skill switching control, i.e. the first control is not equipped with the preset second game skill.

It should be noted that the third control in this embodiment and the second control in the foregoing are controls for controlling the first virtual character to move in the game scene. But the difference is that the second control can also be used to select the skill release direction of the skill to be released, see the description of fig. 8 above; while the third control in this embodiment is only used to control the movement of the first avatar and cannot be used to select the skill release direction of the skill to be released.

The second control and the third control may be displayed with the same or different control identifiers, and in this embodiment, the second control and the third control are respectively displayed with the same control identifier.

In general, the third control may include a virtual rocker and a control operation area, where the virtual rocker is located at a center of the control operation area, and a function of controlling the first virtual character to move in the game scene is achieved by adjusting a position of the virtual rocker in the control operation area.

The corresponding position of the control operation area of the third control may be understood as a position preset for the third control and used for displaying the third skill switching control, for example, the corresponding position may include, but is not limited to, the periphery of the control operation area of the third control, or the control operation area of the third control is divided into a first area and a second area; the first area is used for controlling the first virtual character to move, and the second area is used for controlling the first virtual character to move and realizing skill switching.

The above description of the fourth triggering operation for the third skill switching control may refer to the first triggering operation, the second triggering operation and the third triggering operation, and the operation manner may be determined according to specific requirements, which is not particularly limited in this embodiment. In this embodiment, the fourth trigger operation is exemplified by a sliding operation with the third control as a start point and the third skill switching control as an end point.

As shown in fig. 10, in conjunction with the graphical user interface 300 of fig. 9, a third control 26 (within the dashed box) is also provided in the graphical user interface 300, and the third control 26 may include a rocker 27 and a control manipulation area 28, with the player manipulating the rocker 27 to slide in the control manipulation area 28 to control movement of the first virtual character 12 in the game scene. At this time, if the second game skill control 25 is not triggered, the second game skill is not assembled for the first control 20, and switching from the first game skill to the second game skill when the target object is the second virtual character cannot be achieved.

In the above game scenario, when a pressing operation is applied to the first control 20 in the graphical user interface 300 shown in fig. 10 to determine the first game skill as a skill to be released and a selection operation is performed for the skill release direction of the skill to be released, the graphical user interface 300 is switched to be displayed as the graphical user interface 314, and the third control 26 is also displayed in the graphical user interface 314 and the first indication mark 30 is displayed. Based on the graphical user interface 314, when the pressing operation on the first control 20 and the selection operation on the skill release direction of the skill to be released are not interrupted, if the aiming object is the second virtual character (i.e. is a player teammate), displaying the third skill switching control 29 around the third control 26 at the periphery of the control operation area 28 of the third control 26, i.e. in the dark gray display area around the third control 26 in the graphical user interface 314;

After displaying the third skill switch control 29 described above in the graphical user interface 314, the player may apply a fourth trigger operation to the third skill switch control 29, for example, applying a sliding operation along the sliding path shown by the dashed line 17 to the rocker 27 in the graphical user interface 315, and indicating that the rocker is triggered in the gray filled state in the graphical user interface 315. When the joystick 27 is located inside the control operation area 28, the first virtual character is controlled to move in the game scene, as shown by the graphical user interface 316, and when the contact point position of the sliding operation moves to the position where the third skill switching control 29 is located (the position indicated by the hand-shaped cursor in the figure), the preset second game skill is determined as the skill to be released, and at the same time, the first indication mark 30 displayed in the graphical user interface 315 is switched and displayed as the second indication mark 31 shown in the graphical user interface 316.

In an alternative embodiment, it may be understood that, when the skill switching operation is a fourth triggering operation for the third skill switching control, and the fourth triggering operation is a sliding operation with the third control as a starting point and the third skill switching control as an end point, if a selection function for a skill releasing direction of a skill to be released is further set for the third control, a difficulty of game logic self-consistency corresponding to the third control, where the game logic self-consistency controls the movement of the first virtual character and selects the skill releasing direction, is increased, and the operation difficulty of a player is also easily increased.

To solve the above-described problem, in this embodiment, the selection operation of the skill release direction for the skill to be released may be performed by the first control simultaneously with the function of determining the skill to be released for the first control. For example, the first game skill is determined to be the skill to be released through the pressing operation of the first control, the sliding operation is executed for the first control under the condition that the pressing operation is not finished, and the skill releasing direction of the skill to be released by the first virtual character is determined according to the sliding direction corresponding to the sliding operation.

As shown in fig. 11, in combination with the graphical user interface 300 and the graphical user interface 314 in fig. 10, in the graphical user interface 300, a pressing operation is applied to the first control 20 to determine the first game skill as a skill to be released, at this time, the graphical user interface 300 is displayed switched to the graphical user interface 317, the first control 20 is highlighted in the gray-filled state in the graphical user interface 317, but at this time, even if the first game skill is determined as a skill to be released, the skill release direction of the skill to be released is not determined, and therefore, the first indication mark 30 is not displayed in the graphical user interface 317; on this basis, if the pressing operation is not completed, a slide operation is applied to the upper right, in which the first control 20 filled with light gray is slid from the position indicated by the dotted line box to the position indicated by the solid line box and filled with dark gray, and the graphical user interface 317 is displayed as the graphical user interface 314; in response to the sliding operation, the first indication identifier 30 is displayed in the graphical user interface 314. The first indication identifies that the indicated skill release direction is consistent with the sliding direction of the sliding operation applied for the first control 20.

It should be noted that the dashed lines in fig. 3 to 11 are lines that are fictitious for easy understanding, and these dashed lines do not exist on the graphical user interface displayed by the terminal device.

Thus, the method provided in this embodiment is described, in a game, by detecting a game camp to which a target object whose skill to be released belongs in a skill release range in a skill release direction, when the target object is a second virtual character belonging to the same camp as a first virtual character controlled by a player, skill switching can be implemented, and a preset second game skill for interaction with a teammate is determined as the skill to be released of the first virtual character. And controlling the second virtual character to move to a position indicated by the second game skill by releasing the second game skill for the second virtual character. Therefore, the game skill switching can be realized according to the game camping of the aiming object, and the team fighting capacity in the game is enhanced; in addition, the player does not need to execute complicated operation, and skill switching is automatically realized according to the game camping to which the aiming object belongs after the aiming object is determined according to conventional operation, so that the team fight efficiency is improved.
