Included in computer concept.

Next, a function setting method according to the present invention will be described.
FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining a lock-on information setting method according to the first embodiment.
First, FIG. 2A shows a start screen of “XX shooting game” in which lock-on information can be designated. In the display unit 3, a name of the game and a start button 31 for starting play are displayed on the initial screen 30. When the player operates the operation unit 5 (see FIG. 1) and selects the start button 31, a customization necessity selection screen 35 is displayed on the display unit 3 (FIG. 2 (2)). The player can select whether or not to customize the lock-on information. Here, when the player operates the operation unit 5 and selects the button 36 to be customized, the designation screen 40 is displayed on the display unit 3 (FIG. 2 (3)). Further, since the play is started by the player operating the operation unit 5 and selecting the button 37 that is not customized, a game screen is displayed on the display unit 3 (FIG. 2 (5)).

  In FIG. 2 (3), a designation screen 40 on which lock-on conditions can be set by parameters is displayed. As parameters, the distance to the enemy (# 1), the angle of the enemy (# 2), and the remaining physical strength of the enemy (# 3) can be set. Each of the specification boxes 41a, 41b, and 41c is provided with a weighting value corresponding to the parameter. When the player operates the operation unit 5 to select a downward triangle button, the weighting value is changed. When the player operates the operation unit 5 and selects the upward triangular button, the weighting value increases. Each numerical value of the weight can be set between 0 and 100. Further, the weighting values (# 1) to (# 3) are combined and automatically adjusted so that the total value becomes 100. Therefore, for example, by increasing the weighting value of the designation box 41a in FIG. 2 (3), the automatic adjustment means 13 (see FIG. 1) decreases the weighting value of the designation box 41b. In addition, bar graphs 42a, 42b, and 42c are provided to the right of the designation boxes 41a, 41b, and 41c. The bar graph corresponds to the weighting value set in the designation boxes 41a, 41b, and 41c, and is provided so that the player can visually recognize the weighting value easily. The lengths of the graphs of the bar graphs 42a, 42b, and 42c change in conjunction with the change in the numerical values of the weights of the designation boxes 41a, 41b, and 41c.

  When the player operates the operation unit 5 to increase the weighting value of (# 1), the game machine 1 can set a lock-on condition even if the distance between the player character and the enemy is long. Further, by increasing the weighting value of (# 2), the game machine 1 can set a lock-on condition for enemies that are in a wide range of angles with respect to the traveling direction of the player character. The angle of the enemy means a direction in which the enemy is present when the player character is facing the upper side of the screen (traveling direction). Further, by increasing the weighting value of (# 3), the game machine 1 can preferentially set the enemy with less physical strength as a condition for lock-on.

  In FIG. 2 (3), when the player operates the operation unit 5 and selects the determination button 43, lock-on information is created under the setting conditions displayed on the designation screen 40, and the created lock-on information is displayed. Using this, the play is started (FIG. 2 (5)). In addition, by selecting the confirmation button 44, the process transits to FIG. Further, by selecting the return button 45, the screen returns to FIG. 2 (2), and the customization necessity selection screen 35 is displayed on the display unit 3.

In FIG. 2 (4), a visual display screen 50 is displayed on the display unit 3. The visual display screen 50 is displayed as an image so that it is possible to specifically recognize which range is preferentially set to lock-on by the weighting value designated in FIG. A range 56 in which a part of the lower part of the substantially circular shape is cut out in a fan shape with the center O at the upper side of the position 55 of the player character having a triangular shape displayed in the approximate center of the screen is shown. In the range 56, the enemy in the center of the circle represented by the broken line 57 is likely to be locked on. In FIG. 2 (4), when the player operates the operation unit 5 and selects the decision button 51, lock-on information is created under the setting conditions displayed on the designation screen 40, and the created lock-on information is displayed. Using this, the play is started (FIG. 2 (5)). Further, by selecting the return button 52, the screen returns to FIG. 2 (3) and the designation screen 40 is displayed on the display unit 3.
As described above, the game machine 1 allows the player to customize the lock-on condition in units of parameters. Therefore, the player can set his / her favorite lock-on condition. Further, since the lock-on condition is displayed by a method that is visually recognizable, it is possible to provide the player with information that makes it easy to recognize the lock-on condition designated by the player.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of lock-on information setting processing according to the first embodiment. The above-described setting of the lock-on information will be described based on a flowchart.
First, in step S1, the control unit 10 determines whether to perform lock-on customization. This determination is based on the result selected by the player on the customization necessity selection screen 35 shown in FIG. When customizing lock-on (S1: YES), the control unit 10 moves the process to step S2. On the other hand, when lock-on customization is not performed (S1: NO), the control unit 10 moves the process to step S10.

  In step S2, the control unit 10 (designated screen display means 11) outputs the designated screen 40 to the display unit 3 (see FIG. 2 (3)). Next, in step S <b> 3, the control unit 10 determines whether or not a change in the numerical value of weighting has been accepted. When the change of the weighting value is accepted (step S3: YES), the control unit 10 moves the process to step S4, and the control unit 10 (automatic adjustment means 13) automatically adjusts the remaining weighting value. Then, the process proceeds to step S5. On the other hand, when the change of the numerical value of weighting is not received (step S4: NO), the control part 10 moves a process to step S5.

In step S5, the control unit 10 (lock-on information receiving means 12) determines whether or not the selection of the determination button 43 (see FIG. 2 (3)) has been received. If received (step S5: YES), the control unit 10 moves the process to step S9. On the other hand, when not receiving (step S5: NO), the control part 10 moves a process to step S6.
In step S6, the control unit 10 determines whether or not selection of the confirmation button 44 (see FIG. 2 (3)) has been accepted. If received (step S6: YES), the controller 10 moves the process to step S7. On the other hand, when not receiving (step S6: NO), the control part 10 returns a process to step S3.

  In step S7, the control unit 10 displays the lock-on information as an image on the display unit 3 based on the weighting value designated on the designation screen 40 (see FIG. 2 (4)). In step S8, the control unit 10 (lock-on information receiving means 12) determines whether selection of the determination button 51 (see FIG. 2 (4)) has been received. If received (step S8: YES), the control unit 10 moves the process to step S9. On the other hand, when not receiving (step S8: NO), the control part 10 returns a process to step S3. The case where the selection of the determination button 51 is not accepted refers to the case where the selection of the return button 52 (see FIG. 2 (4)) is accepted.

In step S <b> 9, the control unit 10 stores the weight calculated based on the weighting value designated on the designation screen 40 in the storage unit 20 in association with the parameter. The weighting indicates a ratio of the weighting numerical value, and this ratio is weighting 1 with respect to the weighting numerical value 100.
In step S10, the control unit 10 (game execution means 19) starts a game based on the designated lock-on information (see FIG. 2 (5)). Then, the control part 10 complete | finishes this process.

Next, the relationship between the parameter setting and the visual display screen 50 in FIGS. 2 (3) and 2 (4) will be described based on a specific example.
FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the relationship between the lock-on information parameter setting according to the first embodiment and the visual display screen 50 at that time.
FIG. 4 (1) shows a part of the designation screen 40, and shows the same weighting values as in FIG. 2 (3). Here, when the weighting value indicating the enemy angle is reduced by 30 from the original weighting value to 60 by the player, the weighting value on the designation screen 40 is changed as shown in FIG. Is done.

In FIG. 4B, the parameter indicating the angle of the enemy is changed from 90 to 60 by the player. Since the weighting value indicating the enemy's angle has been changed, if it is left as it is, 30 that has been reduced by the change will remain. And the total value of the numerical values of the respective weights becomes 70, not 100. Therefore, the automatic adjustment means 13 automatically allocates the remaining 30 to the parameter indicating the distance to the enemy, which is the remaining parameter item, and to the parameter indicating the enemy's remaining physical strength, 15 at a time. Keep it at 100.
In this way, when the player changes the weighting value corresponding to one parameter, the weighting values of other parameters other than the one parameter are changed, and the total value of the weighting values is made constant. Therefore, the weighting numerical value can be automatically adjusted in accordance with the change of one parameter.

Further, in the visual display screen 50 shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the range indicated by the two-point chain and the range indicated by the dotted line are located inside the lock-on possible range indicated by the solid line. There is. The range indicated by the dotted line has the highest priority for lock-on, and if there is an enemy in the range indicated by the solid line, it becomes a lock-on target before the enemy in the other range. Outside the range surrounded by the solid line, the next range to be locked on is a range indicated by a two-point chain.
Comparing the visual display screen 50 shown in FIG. 4 (1) and FIG. 4 (2), the visual display screen 50 in FIG. 4 (2) is farther away due to the shape shown by a broken line or a two-point chain. It is shown that it is easy to lock on the enemy.

Next, lock-on during actual play will be described.
5 and 6 are diagrams illustrating specific examples of lock-on according to the first embodiment.
FIG. 5 shows a case where the enemy distance is prioritized, and FIG. 6 shows a case where the enemy angle is prioritized. 5 and 6, in the play screen 60, a controller 61 (player character) that the player himself controls, two enemies 62, and an enemy 63 are displayed (FIG. 5B and FIG. 6). (See (b)). Then, the pilot 61 is traveling upward on the screen, and the enemy 62 and the enemy 63 are displayed in the traveling direction.
FIG. 5A shows lock-on information in a certain play, and weights corresponding to parameters are set. As can be seen from the weighting, the weighting gives priority to the distance from the enemy.

FIG. 5B shows the play screen 60 of the display unit 3. Here, the priority of the enemy 62 and the enemy 63 is calculated.
FIG. 5C shows the priorities for the enemy 62 and the enemy 63. The priority is determined by multiplying the weight corresponding to the parameter by the parameter value indicating the priority in the parameter. For example, a priority value having a higher priority value is given priority as a lock-on target. . The parameter value is determined from the relationship with the player character and the like. For example, the parameter value decreases as the distance between the player character and the enemy increases. In addition, the parameter value decreases as the angle of the enemy with respect to the traveling direction of the player character increases. The parameter values of the enemy 62 and the enemy 63 shown in FIG. 5B are as shown in FIG. The priority is calculated for each parameter by multiplying the parameter value by weight, and the total priority obtained by adding these is 93 (= 90 + 3 + 0) for the enemy 62, whereas 52 (= 45 + 7 + 0) for the enemy 63. It is. Therefore, the enemy 62 is locked on in preference to the enemy 63. Therefore, the lock-on target 64 is displayed on the enemy 62 in FIG.

FIG. 6A shows lock-on information in another play. Compared to FIG. 5 (a), FIG. 6 (a) prioritizes the enemy angle parameter. The pilot 61 and the enemy 62 and the enemy 63 in FIG. 6B are in the same position as in FIG.
FIG. 6C shows the priorities of the enemy 62 and the enemy 63. From FIG. 6C, the priority is 37 for the enemy 62 and 68 for the enemy 63. Therefore, the enemy 63 is locked on in preference to the enemy 62. Therefore, the lock-on target 64 is displayed on the enemy 63 in FIG.

5 and 6, for the sake of explanation, the priority is calculated for two enemies and the lock-on target is determined. However, the control unit 10 also applies to three or more enemies. Similarly, after calculating the priority for each enemy, the one with the higher priority value, that is, the one with the higher priority is set as the lock-on target.
Further, after the lock-on is determined and attacked, the control unit 10 (decision unit 15) calculates the priority again for the remaining enemies and determines the lock-on target. Therefore, for example, it is possible to newly set an attack target to be locked on one after another by switching the enemies to be locked on in descending order of priority. When it is desired to lock on an enemy different from the set lock-on target, a button for switching on the lock-on is prepared in advance, and the player operates the operation unit 5 to switch the enemy to be locked on. May be.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described.
In the second embodiment, lock-on information can be set more easily.
Note that, in the following description and drawings, the same reference numerals or the same reference numerals are given to portions that perform the same functions as those in the first embodiment described above, and overlapping descriptions will be omitted as appropriate.

FIG. 7 is an example showing the lock-on information storage unit 21 stored in the storage unit 20 according to the second embodiment.
FIG. 8 is a setting example of lock-on information according to the second embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the lock-on information storage unit 21 stores an instruction ID, which is a symbol uniquely indicating an instruction list, and an instruction list in association with each other. The instruction list is a list of lock-on information, and the contents differ for each instruction ID.

  FIG. 8A is a customization selection screen 70 displayed when the button 36 is selected for customization in FIG. 2B described above, for example. The display unit 3 displays a customization selection screen 70 on which an easy customization button 71 and an individual setting button 72 are arranged. Here, when the individual setting button 72 is selected, the designation screen 40 for individually setting the weighting value for each parameter as shown in FIG. 2 (3) is displayed. On the other hand, when the easy customization button 71 is selected, a designation screen 80 as shown in FIG. On the designation screen 80, a designated window 81, an instruction list window 82, an add button 83, a delete button 84, a decision button 85, and a return button 86 are arranged. In the command list window 82, a command list stored in the lock-on information storage unit 21 is displayed. Then, by selecting the instruction list displayed in the instruction list window 82 and selecting the add button 83, the selected instruction list is moved to the designated window 81 and displayed.

  One or more instruction lists may be added. Then, when one is specified in the specified window 81, only the command list is valid, and when a plurality of designations are designated, priority is given in order from the one designated above. For example, consider the case where “the closest enemy within 10 m” and “the enemy closest to the front within 10 m” are selected in this order. For example, when there are a plurality of distances from the player character at the same 8 m position as the closest enemy within 10 m, the next command list is read out. And the enemy nearest to the front among a plurality of enemies becomes a lock-on target. When the enter button 85 is selected, the game screen shown in FIG. 2 (5) is displayed.
