Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 3843241

For example, in a battle game in which a team is divided into a friendly camp and an enemy camp, such as a snowball fight, the behavior of the ball thrown at the opponent changes unprecedentedly, especially when the behavior when the thrown ball bounces is different from the conventional one. It is thought that the fun of the competitive game can be improved.

However, the above-mentioned prior art does not disclose throwing a ball and the behavior of the thrown ball because it relates to a ball rolling game.

Therefore, the present invention provides a technique for improving the interest of a competitive game based on the behavior of the ejected object emitted toward the opponent and the action of the behavior.

The information processing program according to one aspect of the present invention is a released object that is emitted in a direction based on the designated operation in a virtual space when the computer receives a designated operation including a designation in the height direction from the first player. The action control process for controlling the behavior of the object and the action control process for controlling the predetermined action on the target object when the emitted object comes into contact with the target object in the virtual space are executed. The process is characterized in that the action on the target object is different based on the number of contacts that the released object makes contact with the specific object before reaching the target object.

According to one aspect of the present invention, it is possible to improve the fun of the battle game based on the behavior of the released object emitted toward the opponent and the action of the behavior.

It is a flowchart about the process when the enemy player character which touched a snowball further touches a snowball in this embodiment. It is an example of the block diagram of the hardware environment of the computer which executes the program in this embodiment.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of an information processing apparatus according to the present embodiment. Examples of the information processing device 1 include a processor of the player terminal 12 and a processor of the server 15, which will be described later. The information processing device 1 includes a behavior control unit 2 and an action control unit 3.

When the behavior control unit 2 receives a designated operation including a designation in the height direction from the first player, the behavior control unit 2 determines the behavior of the emitted object to be emitted in the direction based on the designated operation in the virtual space (for example, a game space). Control. The height designation may be, for example, the height of the highest point of the parabola initially drawn by the emitted object to be emitted, or the angle at which it is emitted. Examples of the object to be released include, but are not limited to, the snowball 24 described later. The object to be released may be, for example, a ball-shaped object, a bullet-shaped object, or an object thrown in a virtual space. In the present embodiment, "emitting" includes "throwing", "striking", "shooting", "shooting", and "injecting", and its noun form "emission" also refers to those noun forms. It shall include. As an example of the behavior control unit 2, the motion control unit 35 (35a, 35) described later can be mentioned.

The action control unit 3 controls a predetermined action on the target object when the emitted object comes into contact with the target object in the virtual space. Further, the action control unit 3 makes the action on the target object different based on the number of contacts of the released object in contact with the specific object before reaching the target object. As an example of the target object, there is an enemy character object described later. The predetermined action is, for example, inflicting predetermined damage on the enemy character object hit by the released object, staggering or immobilizing the enemy character object for a predetermined time, or suppressing the action of the enemy character object. You may. An example of the action control unit 3 is an operation control unit 35 (35a, 35) described later. The specific object is an object to which the emitted object bounces, and may be, for example, a ground object (including the ground in which snow is piled up), a wall object, or the like. Further, different actions on a target object based on the number of contacts with a specific object may mean, for example, that the type of action is the same but the amount / amount / degree of the action is different. The type of action may be different. When the type of action is the same but the amount / amount / degree of the action is different, for example, when the emitted object hits the target object and the target object staggers for a certain period of time, the staggering time is the number of contacts. May become longer as the number increases. When the type of action is different, for example, when the released object with one contact hits the target object, only the staggering action is given to the target object, and the released object with one contact is the target. When it hits an object, in addition to the staggering action, the parameter (life value) of the target object may be reduced or the damage value may be accumulated. However, if the number of contacts exceeds the upper limit, the object to be released may explode without exerting these effects.

With such a configuration, it is possible to improve the fun of the battle game based on the behavior of the released object emitted toward the opponent and the action of the behavior.

When the emitted object comes into contact with a specific object based on the specified height direction, the behavior control unit 2 emits so that the highest point in the height direction of the parabola drawn by the emitted object is higher than before the contact. You may control the behavior of the object.

With this configuration, the released object can take a behavior of restitution coefficient> 1, which cannot occur in reality, so that the fun of the battle game can be improved.

Even if the action control unit 3 controls so that when the number of contacts is the second number, which is larger than the first number, the action is more favorable to the first player than the action exerted by the first number when the object to be released is touched. good.

With such a configuration, the player can advance the game in an advantageous manner, and the number of contacts is important in formulating strategies and tactics, so that the interest of the competitive game can be improved.

The action control unit 3 may control the duration of the action on the target object according to the number of contacts.

By configuring in this way, the staggering time can be lengthened as the number of contacts increases, so that the movement of the enemy player character can be temporarily stopped, and the length of the staggering time is important for the strategy of the battle game. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest.

The action control unit 3 may suppress the action of the target object for a certain period of time as the action to be exerted.

With such a configuration, the movement of the enemy player character can be suppressed for a certain period of time, and that time becomes important in the strategy of the battle game, so that the interest can be improved.
When the number of contacts exceeds the upper limit set for the object to be released, the action control unit 3 may suppress the action on the target object more than before the upper limit is exceeded.

With such a configuration, the player is motivated to hit the released object against the enemy player character within a predetermined number of contacts, so that the game can be further improved.

The action control unit 3 is the first when the first character object operated by the first player and the second character object operated by the second player having a predetermined relationship with the first player are arranged in the virtual space. 1 If the released object based on the designated operation of the second player touches the target object while the first action based on the designated operation of the player is occurring on the target object, the second action larger than the first action is targeted. It may be controlled to affect the object.

With such a configuration, it is possible to provide an opportunity to play the game as a group because the game can be advanced more advantageously by the teammates attacking in cooperation with each other than by attacking alone.

Even if the action control unit 3 identifiablely notifies the terminal device of the second player that the first action is occurring on the target object when the action based on the designated operation of the first player occurs on the target object. good.

With such a configuration, the second player can easily recognize the arrival of a chance to attack in cooperation with the first player.

The action control unit 3 may notify only the terminal device of the second player selected based on the relative position from the target object in which the action is occurring.

With this configuration, the closest friendly player character can participate in the battle earlier, so that the enemy player character can be attacked within the time that the action is exerted.
The action control unit 3 may select the number of second players to be notified based on the time during which the action occurring on the target object continues.

With this configuration, the longer the action occurring on the target object continues, the more ally players can be notified, and the more likely it is that a coordinated attack will be performed.

The action control unit 3 notifies the terminal device of the second player who operates the second character object arranged within the range on the field in the virtual space determined based on the duration of the action occurring on the target object. You may.

With this configuration, the range on the field is determined according to the duration of the action occurring on the target object, so it is easy to perform a coordinated attack with a teammate player in that range.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a network configuration of a game system according to the present embodiment. The game system 11 includes one or more terminal devices (hereinafter referred to as "player terminals") 12, a server device (hereinafter referred to as "server") 15, and a communication network 16. The player terminal 12 and the server 15 are connected to each other so as to be able to communicate with each other via the communication network 16.

The player terminal 12 is a portable electronic terminal device having a communication function capable of connecting to a communication network such as a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or a mobile phone carried by a player. The player terminal 12 has an operation display unit 13, a microphone into which sound is input, a speaker for outputting sound, and the like. The operation display unit 13 is a device capable of performing an input operation on the screen 14 and displaying an image on the screen 14, for example, a touch panel display. The player terminal 12 may be a so-called personal computer.

The player terminal 12 can download and install a game application program purchased from an application program sales site on the Internet. As a result, the player can play the game of the application program by performing an input operation on the operation display unit 13 of the player terminal 12. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that a group battle-type game application program in which characters selected by each player form a group and compete against each other is installed in the player terminal 12. The game application program is referred to as a program according to the present embodiment.

In the following, the player terminal 12 used by the first player will be referred to as a player terminal 12a, and the operation display unit 13 and the screen 14 of the player terminal 12a will be referred to as an operation display unit 13a and a screen 14a, respectively. Further, the player terminal 12 used by the second player is referred to as a player terminal 12b, and the operation display unit 13 and the screen 14 of the player terminal 12b are referred to as an operation display unit 13b and a screen 14b, respectively.

The server 15 is an information processing device that manages application programs according to the present embodiment installed in the player terminal 12. For example, the server 15 manages information about a player who uses a game application program (for example, play content, status information of a character being played, point information, etc.), and manages information about billing. The server 15 may be a server system composed of one or more physical information processing devices, or may be a virtual server system composed of one or more virtual server devices.

Here, as an example of the game used in this embodiment, it is divided into a ally camp and an opponent (enemy) camp like a snowball fight, throwing a predetermined object at each other to attack the opponent, and the flag provided on the opponent's territory first. I will explain the outline of the shooting game in which the winner is the winner. For example, the first player operates a character object operated by himself / herself and throws a predetermined object at the character object operated by the second player of the enemy camp. A predetermined object is, for example, a snowball, and if the falling point of the thrown snowball is a place where it can bounce, it bounces and jumps up. Each time a snowball jumps up, its size increases and the height at which it jumps up also increases. The first player can directly hit the second player without bouncing the snowball, or can bounce it and hit the second player.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a game screen in the present embodiment. FIG. 3 shows an outline of a game screen displayed on the screen 14 of the operation display unit 13 when the player plays the game according to the present embodiment. FIG. 3A shows the state of the game screen before the player character releases the snowball, and FIG. 3B shows the state of the game screen after the player character releases the snowball.

The game space is mainly composed of a field 21 and an off-field (not shown). The field 21 is, in principle, a region where a character object operated by a player (hereinafter referred to as a “player character”) can move or a released snowball 24 can bounce. However, the character object operated by the player cannot move on the area where the object that can be an obstacle or the like is arranged. The off-field area (not shown) is an area in which the character object cannot move or the snowball cannot bounce.

In FIG. 3A, a player character (referred to as “first player character”) 22a operated by the first player is arranged on the front side of the screen 14a, and a battle (in this example, a battle) is arranged on the back side of the screen 14a. , A player character (referred to as a "second player character") 22b operated by a second player who is the opponent of the snowball fight) is arranged.

In this example, the player character hits the snowball 24 with the racket-shaped release object 23, but the shape and type of the release object 23 are not particularly limited. The release object 23 may be a racket-shaped, bat-shaped, or golf club-shaped striking object for launching the snowball 24, or a gun-shaped, bow-shaped, or slingshot-shaped object for ejecting the snowball 24. It may be a shooting object or a bare hand.

The battle game according to this embodiment can be played by two or more players, and at that time, the battle can be divided into a friendly camp and an enemy camp. For example, when the third player becomes an ally of the first player, a player character (referred to as "third player character") 22a operated by the third player is arranged on the front side of the screen 14a. Further, for example, when the fourth player becomes an ally of the second player (enemy of the first player), a player character operated by the fourth player on the Okugawa side of the screen 14a (referred to as a "fourth player character"). 22a is arranged.

An object that serves as a shield may be arranged on the field 21. The shield object is an object for hiding from the snowball 24 thrown by the enemy. In FIG. 3, as an example of a shield object, a kamakura 25 (25a, 25b) is arranged on the field.

When the first player performs an operation (swipe) 30 of sliding a predetermined area on the right side of the screen 14 with a finger, the viewpoint of the angle of view displayed on the screen 14 is changed according to the swiping direction. (Hereinafter referred to as "viewpoint adjustment swipe operation 30").

Further, when the first player performs an operation (swipe) 28 to slide a predetermined area on the left side of the screen 14 with a finger, the first player character 22a can be moved according to the swiping direction (swiping). Hereinafter, it is referred to as “character movement swipe operation 28”).

By performing the viewpoint adjustment swipe operation 30 and the character movement swipe operation 28, the direction in which the snowball 24 is emitted can be adjusted. The release direction of the snowball is determined by touching the release button 27.

When the first player touches the release button 27 displayed in the lower right area of the screen 14 with a finger and then releases the finger (touch-off), the first player character 22a faces a predetermined speed and a predetermined direction. The snowball 24 can be emitted at the height (angle) of. The height may be specified, for example, according to the time from touching the release button 27 to touching off. For example, the longer the time from touching the release button 27 to touching off, the higher the emission may be. Alternatively, when the release button 27 is touched, a gauge 29 that periodically changes from the lower limit to the upper limit may be displayed on the screen 14. In this case, when touch-off is performed in accordance with the change in the gauge 29, the height at which the snowball is emitted may change according to the change in the gauge 29 at the time of touch-off. For example, when the gauge 29 is touched off at the timing when the lower limit is reached, a straight ball may be emitted to the enemy character without making a height angle. Further, when the gauge 29 is touched off at the timing when the upper limit is reached, a parabolic snowball may be emitted to the enemy character at an angle of emission to the maximum height.

After touching the release button 27, the snowball is discharged in a behavior according to the direction in which the first player character 22a is facing, a predetermined speed, and a predetermined height (angle). Then, if the enemy player character (second player character 22b) exists before the release, the enemy player character can be hit and the enemy player character can be damaged. In FIG. 3B, the released snowball bounces on the ground twice and jumps toward the second player character 22b. After that, if the second player character 22b cannot dodge the snowball 24, the snowball 24 hits the second player character 22b and can damage the second player character 22b.

When the snowball 24 is released by the player character, it is consumed. Therefore, a predetermined number of player characters (for example, 5, 10, 20, etc.) can be held in advance. In FIG. 3A, as shown by reference numeral 26, a predetermined number of the first player character 22a can be held around the waist in advance.

Further, the snowball 24 may be created by the player character by stopping the player character on the field 21 for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, etc.). For example, when the first player character 22a is stopped on the field 21, the ball is automatically started to be made, but at this time, it may not be possible to move from the spot for a predetermined time. Further, the first player character 22a may pick up and replenish the snowball 24 created by the ally player character and placed on the ground. In addition, when the maximum number of snowballs possessed is exceeded, the first player character 22a places a snowball that exceeds the upper limit on the spot, and when a friendly player character comes into contact with the placed snowball, the snow is automatically placed. You may be able to pick up the balls.

Further, the kamakura 25 containing the item or the like may be marked. In this case, when the player character approaches the kamakura 25 holding an item or the like, the player character automatically kicks, a weapon or a snowball appears from the kamakura 25, and the player character acquires those weapons or a snowball. You may be able to do it. Then, by acquiring a weapon, the player character can make a snowball quickly, move quickly, push an obstacle kamakura, throw it far away, and so on, depending on the attributes of the weapon. You may change the role that you are good at. As such a role, for example, a supply type, a high-speed type, a defense type, and a shooting type may be used. The replenishment type is a type that is good at supporting because it makes snowballs quickly. Since the high-speed type moves quickly, it is a type that is good at close-quarters combat, in which the enemy player character is hit. The defensive type is a type that is good at pushing up the front line because it can be pushed and moved by slipping when it comes in contact with a hiding obstacle kamakura. The shooting type has a long parabolic prediction line and is good at long-range combat.

FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the behavior of the bouncing snowball in the present embodiment. FIG. 4 corresponds to a surface in which the first player character 22a cuts out two axes in the direction in which the snowball 24 is released and the height direction in FIG.

FIG. 4A shows an example of directly hitting an enemy (second player character 22b). For example, when the first player touches the release button 27 and touches off at the timing when the gauge 29 reaches the lower limit or a value close to the lower limit, the fastball can be discharged at a speed _v0 without setting the discharge angle θ. As a result, when there is no shield between the first player character 22a and the second player character 22b, the first player directly refers to the second player character 22b at a relative position within a predetermined range. You can aim and attack. However, the snowball 24 may not reach the enemy player character exceeding the relative position within a predetermined range, and may fall to the ground and bounce.

FIG. 4B shows an example of the behavior of a snowball when it is emitted so as to draw a parabola of a low orbit. For example, when the first player touches the release button 27 and touches off at the timing when the gauge 29 reaches a value close to the lower limit, the snowball 24 having a small emission angle θ can be emitted at a speed _v0 . The more the snowball 24 bounces on the ground where snow is piled up, the larger the size of the snowball 24 and the higher the height at which it jumps up. Here, the height of the highest point of the parabola from the first emission to the first bounce is represented by h ₀ , and the height of the highest point of the parabola from the first bound to the second bound is represented by h ₁ . It is assumed that the height of the highest point of the parabola from the second bounce to the third bounce is represented by h ₂ . In this case, the relationship is h ₀ <h ₁ <h ₂ .

Further, since the size of the snowball 24 increases each time it bounces, if a snowball of a larger size is applied to the enemy player character, it is possible to inflict greater damage on the enemy player character. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4A, when there is no shield between the first player character 22a and the enemy player character, and the enemy player character at a relative position within a predetermined range is covered with snow. The ball 24 can also be released with a straight ball. On the other hand, if you want to do more damage to the enemy player character, you can adjust the emission of snowballs so that they bounce and hit.

FIG. 4C shows an example of the behavior of a snowball when it is emitted so as to draw a parabola of a high orbit. For example, when the first player touches the release button 27 and touches off at the timing when the gauge 29 reaches the upper limit or a value close to the upper limit, the snowball 24 having a large emission angle θ can be emitted at a speed _v0 . .. The more the snowball 24 bounces, the larger the size of the snowball and the higher the height at which it jumps up. Again, in this case, the relationship is h ₀ <h ₁ <h ₂ . In the case of FIG. 4C, for example, when the enemy (second player character 22b) is at a position beyond the relative position in a predetermined range, or between the first player character 22a and the enemy player character (a shield (2nd player character 22b)). For example, it is effective when there is a kamakura object 25b).

There is an upper limit to the number of times the snowball 24 bounces and grows, and if the snowball 24 bounces beyond the upper limit, the snowball 24 may explode. Alternatively, the snowball 24 may explode if it bounces beyond the upper limit and hits an enemy player character.

Further, if the bounce point (bound surface) is uneven, the snowball may be diffusely reflected and the snowball may not bounce in the target direction, but the snowball 24 may bounce in a direction deviating from that direction. Further, when the snowball 24 hits an object without snow, its size does not increase and it may simply bounce off.

Further, when snowballs of the same size collide with each other, they may cancel each other out and burst. Further, when a snowball having a large size collides with a snowball having a smaller size on the other side, only the snowball having a smaller size may explode.

Here, each player character may have parameters such as a life value and a cumulative damage value. The life value represents the life value (or playable index) of the player character, and when this becomes 0, the player character cannot continue playing. The cumulative damage value is a value obtained by accumulating the damage, although the player character takes a certain amount of damage each time it is attacked. If the cumulative damage value exceeds a certain value, it will not be possible to continue playing for that player character.

Further, a lobby screen (not shown) may be provided as a front stage of the game screen of FIG. On the lobby screen, for example, selection of equipment of the first player character 22a, confirmation of equipment and status, invitation of other player characters such as ally player characters, formation of members to form a group, selection of opponent group, battle stage. You may be able to select. The formation of members to form a group includes participation in the group, withdrawal from the group, and the like.

Further, in the game according to the present embodiment, as a condition for clearing the game, in addition to capturing the flag provided in the opponent's base, for example, by attacking, the life value of all the player characters of the opponent's group is zero or the damage is done. You may attack until the cumulative value exceeds a certain value to make it impossible to continue playing.

The conditions for clearing the game are not limited to this, and for example, acquisition of a predetermined item object, acquisition of a predetermined score, discovery of a door to the next stage, etc. may be defined as conditions for clearing the game. ..

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a functional block of the game system 11 in the present embodiment. The player terminal 12 (12a, 12b) includes an operation display unit 13 (13a, 13b), a communication unit 31 (31a, 31b), a control unit 32 (32a, 32b), and a storage unit 37 (37a, 37b). Hereinafter, the player terminal 12 used by the first player, its components, functions, player characters, and the like will be described with the addition of a subscript a. Further, the player terminal 12 used by the second player, its components, functions, player characters, and the like will be described by adding a subscript b. However, the subscripts a and b will not be used in the explanation shared by the player terminals 12 (12a and 12b).

The operation display unit 13 is a touch panel display that can be input and displayed by the input operation of the player. In this embodiment, a touch panel display is used as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the input unit and the display unit may be independent of each other.

The communication unit 31 is an interface that enables communication with a device connected to the communication network 16. Here, the communication unit 31 communicates with the server 15 via the communication network 16.

It functions as 46 (36a, 36b).

The operation receiving unit 33 receives the operation input to the operation display unit 13. For example, the operation reception unit 33 accepts touch operations such as tap, double tap, long touch, scroll, swipe (or slide), flick, drag, pinch-in, and pinch-out on the screen 14.

When the input is made by the controller for the game machine in which the direction key and the decision key are separated, the operation reception unit 33 specifies the direction by the direction key pressed by the player, for example, and the decision key is pressed. It may be specified as the completion of the operation instruction.

The transmission / reception control unit 34 (34a, 34b) needs to be transmitted from each player terminal 12 (12a, 12b, ...) Sharing the game space realized by the program 38 (38a, 38b) in the present embodiment. Information is acquired, and necessary information is transmitted to each player terminal 12 (12a, 12b, ...). That is, each player terminal 12 transmits / receives information to / from the player terminal operated by the opponent player.

The motion control unit 35 (35a, 35b) controls the motion of the object in the game space. That is, the motion control unit 35 controls the motion of the player character, the behavior of the snowball 24, and the like. The movement of the player character includes the movement of the player character hitting the snowball 24 (for example, staggering or being unable to move for a certain period of time). That is, when the motion control unit 35 receives a designated operation including a designation in the height direction (including an angle) from the player, the motion control unit 35 is discharged in the direction based on the designated operation in the game space as described with reference to FIG. Controls the behavior of the snowball 24. Further, the motion control unit 35 controls a predetermined action on the enemy player character when the snowball 24 comes into contact with the enemy player character in the game space. The predetermined action may be, for example, inflicting predetermined damage on the enemy player character hit by the snowball 24, staggering the enemy player character for a predetermined time, immobilizing the movement, suppressing the action, or the like. ..

The display control unit 36 (36a, 36b) controls the display state of the screen 14 (including the case of controlling the display state of the screen 14 based on the control instruction of the operation control unit 35). For example, the display control unit 36 has an image necessary for the player to play a game, such as a field 21, a first player character 22a, a second player character 22b, a kamakura object 25, a snowball 24, a release button 27, a gauge 29, and the like. Is displayed on the screen 14. Further, the display control unit 36 gives an instruction for display control not only to the display of the screen 14 of the player terminal 12 including the display control unit 36 but also to the display of the screen of another player terminal.

The storage unit 37 (37a, 37b) stores the installed program 38 (38a, 38b), game element data 39 (39a, 39b), and various other data according to the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, the storage unit 37 stores background data, object data, item data, effect data, acoustic data, and the like, as an example. Here, the data includes not only status information and character data but also graphical data.

The background data includes, for example, data related to fields 21 and the like constituting the game space. The object data includes object data such as a player character, a kamakura 25, and other objects.

The item data includes data related to an item object stored in a treasure chest or the like arranged in the field 21. When a player character acquires an item during a game, the player character temporarily or permanently increases its offensive power, defensive power, stamina, and a predetermined status parameter. Items include, for example, a release object 23, a snowball 24, a recovery item that recovers a cumulative damage value parameter, a parameter enhancement item that temporarily or constantly improves attack power, maintenance power, and the like.

If the player character acquires a treasure chest or uses the acquired treasure chest during the game, the effect may be given at random. For example, when a player character acquires a treasure chest and hits an ally, an effect equivalent to a combination technique may be activated, or a parameter of a predetermined status (for example, a parameter such as attack power, defense power, stamina, etc.). May be raised.

The effect data is data for identifiable highlighting, for example, that a player character hit by a snowball is affected by an action described later. The acoustic data is data related to music played while playing a game, sound effects used in various scenes, and the like.

The server 15 includes a communication unit 41, a control unit 42, and a storage unit 43. The communication unit 41 is an interface that enables communication with a device connected to the communication network 16. Here, the communication unit 41 communicates with each player terminal 12 via the communication network 16.

The control unit 42 controls the operation of the entire server 15, executes processing in response to a request from the player terminal 12, returns the execution result to the player terminal 12, and relays transmission information to another player terminal. Etc. are controlled. For example, the control unit 42 authenticates the player who plays the game, shares the screen information used among the players when playing the game, manages the play content on the player terminal 12, and charges. Manage and so on.

The storage unit 43 stores a user management database, a billing management database, an application program interface (API), and the like. The user management database is a database related to the player who installed the game.

The API is an application program interface used by the program according to the present embodiment installed in the player terminal 12.

Next, the function of the motion control unit 35 will be described in detail. As described above, the motion control unit 35 controls a predetermined action on the enemy player character when the snowball 24 comes into contact with the enemy player character. The predetermined action can be, for example, inflicting predetermined damage on the enemy player character hit by the snowball 24, staggering the enemy player character for a predetermined time, immobilizing the movement, or suppressing the action thereof. .. A more effective and powerful action can be obtained by superimposing the actions performed by a plurality of player characters in cooperation with a plurality of players. This will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a coordinated attack with a teammate player character when the player is divided into groups to play against each other in the present embodiment. FIG. 6A is a diagram illustrating the behavior of the enemy player character that hits the first snowball. FIG. 6B is a diagram illustrating the behavior of the enemy player character when the player hits the second snowball in a staggered state after hitting the first snowball.

Here, the first player character 22a operated by the first player and the third player character 22c operated by the third player are in the same group and play against the second player character 22b or the like operated by the enemy second player. Suppose you are. Further, it is assumed that FIGS. 6A and 6B are screen examples displayed on the screen 14c of the third player terminal 12c operated by the third player.

In FIG. 6A, it is assumed that the snowball 24 released by the first player character 22a hits the second player character 22b. Then, the second player character 22b that hits the snowball 24 is in a staggered state for a predetermined time (1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, etc.). When the second player character 22b is in a staggered state, the second player character 22b cannot move freely. When the snowball 24 hits the enemy player character in this way, the enemy player character staggers for a certain period of time, and damage due to being hit by the snowball accumulates.

Then, the third player terminal 12c used by the players of the same group may display the auxiliary display information 51 that identifiablely notifies that the enemy player character is currently in a staggered state. As a result, the third player whose auxiliary display information 51 is displayed on the screen 14c can recognize that the second player character 22b is in a staggered state.

The auxiliary display information 51 may be displayed on the player terminals 12 of all members of the same group, or may be displayed on the player terminals 12 of a predetermined member. The predetermined member may be a player who operates a player character whose relative position to the first player character is closest to the player character.

Then, the third player character 22c hits the snowball 24 against the second player character 22b as shown in FIG. 6B while the second player character 22b staggers and cannot move. Then, the second player character 22b suffers a larger damage than usual, and the damage is accumulated. Then, when the damage is accumulated according to FIGS. 6A and 6B and the damage is accumulated up to the accumulation limit amount, the enemy player character goes down and the whole body of the player character is buried in the snowball (snow). It may be in a ball state) and you may not be able to do anything.

Further, as described above, when the player character goes down, it becomes a snowball state and cannot move, and after a certain period of time, the player character may be able to move (revive) again with snow piled on itself.

Further, when the player character goes down and comes into contact with an enemy player character in a snowball state, the player character may kick and roll the enemy player character to enable an attack involving another enemy player character. In this case, if the enemy player character in the snowball state collides with the other enemy player character, for example, the other enemy player character dies and after a predetermined waiting time (for example, 15 seconds, 30 seconds, etc.). , You may try to restart from the place where your own flag is installed.

Further, when the player character comes into contact with a ally player character who is down and in a snowball state, the player character may pay off the snow and revive the ally player character on the spot.

FIG. 7 is a sequence diagram relating to the snowball emission operation in the present embodiment. In FIG. 7, each of the plurality of players can operate the player terminal 12 operated by themselves, and the operations may be performed at the same time.

The first player performs a viewpoint adjustment swipe operation 30 and a character movement swipe operation 28 on the operation display unit 13a of the player terminal 12a in order to hit the second player character 22b, which is an enemy on the screen 14a, with a snowball. Then, the first player touches the release button 27, confirms the gauge 29, measures the timing of releasing the snowball 24, and touches off. Then, in the player terminal 12a, the operation reception unit 33a performs the operation reception process (S1). In S1, the operation receiving unit 33a receives information (input operation information) related to the input operation (touch operation) detected by the operation display unit 13a.

Next, the motion control unit 35a performs the motion control process based on the input operation information (S2). In S2, the motion control unit 35a analyzes the received input operation information, and determines the direction and height (angle) at which the first player character 21a emits the snowball 24 based on the analysis result. Here, the information regarding the release of the snowball 24 is also referred to as release information. The release information includes the speed at which the snowball is released, the direction in which the snowball is released, and the height (angle) at which the snowball is released. The motion control unit 35a analyzes the emission behavior of the snowball 24 based on the emission information. Further, the motion control unit 35a controls the action of the snowball 24 on the enemy player character when it hits the enemy player character.

The display control unit 36a performs display control processing based on the analysis result by the motion control unit 35a (S3). In S3, the display control unit 36a determines whether to output the analyzed information to the screen 14a, the screen 14b, or both, based on the analysis result. When it is determined that the analyzed information is to be output to the screen 14a or when it is determined to be output to both, the display control unit 36a outputs the analyzed information to the screen 14a and displays it. When it is determined that the analyzed information is to be output to the screen 14b, or when it is determined to be output to both screens 14b, the analyzed information is synchronized and displayed on the screen 14b via the server 15.

The transmission / reception control unit 34a transmits synchronization instruction information including the analyzed information to the server 15 in order to synchronize the information analyzed via the server 15 (S4).

The server 15 acquires the synchronization instruction information received from the player terminal 12a and transmits it to the player terminal 12b (S5).

In the player terminal 12b, the transmission / reception control unit 34b performs the transmission / reception control unit (S6). In S6, the transmission / reception control unit 34b acquires the synchronization instruction information transmitted from the player terminal 12a via the server 15.

Then, the display control unit 36b performs the display control process based on the synchronization instruction information (S7). In S7, when the display control unit 36b acquires the synchronization instruction information, the display control unit 36b generates an image related to the snowball release information based on the release information included in the synchronization instruction information and displays it on the screen 14b (S7). The image relating to the release information of the snowball includes an image relating to the bound state of the snowball, the state of the second player character hitting the snowball, and the like. When the synchronization instruction information includes information to display the auxiliary display information 51, the display control unit 36b causes the auxiliary display information 51 to be displayed on the screen 14b based on the information.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the process relating to the release of snowballs in the present embodiment. The control unit 32a reads the program according to the present embodiment from the storage unit 37, executes the program, and functions as an operation reception unit 33a, a transmission / reception control unit 34a, an operation control unit 35a, and a display control unit 36a. The operation reception unit 33a, the transmission / reception control unit 34a, the operation control unit 35a, and the display control unit 36a execute the flow of FIG.

In order to hit the snowball 24 on the enemy (second player character 22b) on the field 21, the first player performs a viewpoint adjustment swipe operation 30 and a character movement swipe operation 28 on the operation display unit 13a of the player terminal 12a. conduct. Then, the first player touches the release button 27, confirms the gauge 29, measures the timing of releasing the snowball 24, and touches off. Then, the operation reception unit 33a detects a series of touch operations, that is, a viewpoint adjustment swipe operation 30, a character movement swipe operation 28, a touch to the release button 27, and a touch operation from touch to touch-off (S11).

The motion control unit 35a acquires information on the position of the first player character on the field 21, the emission direction of the snowball 24, and the emission height (emission angle) from the detected touch operation as emission information (S12). .. That is, the motion control unit 35a identifies the position of the first player character on the field 21 specified by the viewpoint adjustment swipe operation 30 and the character movement swipe operation 28 at the time of touch-off of the release button 27, and the position information ( Release position information) is acquired. Further, the motion control unit 35a determines the direction specified by the viewpoint adjustment swipe operation 30 and the character movement swipe operation 28 at the time of touch-off of the release button 27 as the release direction, and acquires the determined release direction. Further, the motion control unit 35a specifies the height (release angle) to the highest point of the first parabola due to the release of the snowball specified from the time from the touch of the release button 27 to the touch-off, and the release thereof. Get angle information. The release information includes release position information, release direction information, and release angle information.

The operation control unit 35a initializes the number of bounds to zero (S13). The motion control unit 35a determines the velocity v ₀ (vector), the height of the highest point of the parabola in the case of the acquired emission information (emission position, emission direction, emission angle), and the first bound position (first bound position). Calculate (S14). The velocity v ₀ (vector) is predetermined, but may be changed depending on, for example, the type of the emission object 23 (including the case of bare hands).

The display control unit 36a draws a state in which the snowball 24 is released according to the calculation result of S14, and is based on the calculation result of S14 for the display control unit 36b of the player terminal 12b via the server 15. The instruction information is transmitted so as to draw (S15).

The motion control unit 35a determines whether or not the snowball 24 has collided with the enemy before reaching the most recently calculated bound position (S16). If the snowball 24 collides with the enemy before reaching the most recently calculated bound position (YES in S16), the process proceeds to the process of S26.

When the snowball 24 does not collide with the enemy by the time the calculated bound position is reached, that is, when the snowball bounces (NO in S16), the motion control unit 35a has the bound surface in the field and bound. It is determined whether the ground or the object is possible (S17). When it is determined that the bound surface is in the field and not a bounceable ground or object, that is, the bound surface is out of the field, or the bound surface is in the field but is determined to be a non-boundable ground or object. (NO in S17), the motion control unit 35a instructs the display control unit 36a to burst the snowball 24 (S26). The display control unit 36a draws to burst the snowball 24 based on the instruction from the operation control unit 35a, and also from the operation control unit 35a to the display control unit 36b of the player terminal 12b via the server 15. Instruction information is transmitted to draw the snowball 24 to be ruptured based on the instruction of.

When it is determined that the bouncing surface is in the field and is a bounceable ground or object (YES in S17), the motion control unit 35a instructs the display control unit 36a to collide the snowball 24 with the bouncing surface. (S18). The display control unit 36a draws the snowball 24 collides with the bound surface based on the instruction from the operation control unit 35a, and controls the operation of the display control unit 36b of the player terminal 12b via the server 15. Based on the instruction from the unit 35a, the instruction information is transmitted so as to draw the snowball 24 so as to collide with the bound surface.

The motion control unit 35a increments the number of bounds (S19). The motion control unit 35a determines whether or not there is snow on the bound surface (S20). When it is determined that there is snow on the bouncing surface (YES in S20), the operation control unit 35a sets a parameter for increasing the size of the snowball 24 by a predetermined time (S21).

When it is determined that there is no snow on the bound surface (NO in S20), or after the processing of S21, the motion control unit 35a is based on the bound position, the velocity v (vector) at the time of collision with the bound surface, and the coefficient of restitution e. , The height of the highest point of the next parabola, and the next bound position are calculated (S22). It can be expressed by the coefficient of restitution e = (h ₁ / h ₀ ) ^1/2 . As described above, the relationship is h ₀ <h ₁ . At this time, the component of the speed v (vector) of the snowball 24 immediately before the bounce, parallel to the bounce plane is v _x , the component perpendicular to the bounce plane is v _y , and the speed v _x '(vector) immediately after the bounce is bounce. Assuming that the component parallel to the plane is v x'and the component perpendicular to the bound plane is v _y ', it may be represented by v _x '= v _x and v _y '= _{−ev y .} Further, the value of the coefficient of restitution e (> 1) may be changed according to the type of the object forming the bouncing surface (for example, the ground, the wall, the tree, etc.).

In this way, when the snowball 24 comes into contact with a bounceable ground or an object based on the height direction (including the emission angle) specified by the first player, the motion control unit 35a is a parabolic line drawn by the snowball 24. The behavior of the snowball is controlled so that the highest point in the height direction is higher than before the contact.

The operation control unit 35a instructs the display control unit 36a to draw a state in which the snowball 24 is emitted based on the parameters set in S21 and the result calculated in S22 (S23). The display control unit 36a draws a state in which the snowball 24 is released in response to an instruction from the operation control unit 35a, and at the same time, the operation control unit 36a is directed to the display control unit 36b of the player terminal 12b via the server 15. Instruction information is transmitted so as to draw a state in which the snowball 24 is released in response to the instruction from 35a.

The loop processing of S15 to S23 is repeated until the end condition (that is, YES in S16 or NO in S17) is satisfied.

When the snowball 24 collides with an enemy before reaching the most recently calculated bound position (YES in S16), the motion control unit 35a determines whether or not the number of bounds is equal to or less than a predetermined number (S24). The predetermined number of times is, for example, two times, three times, and the like. When the number of bounces is less than or equal to the predetermined number (YES in S24), the motion control unit 35a damages the enemy player character hit by the snowball 24 based on the number of bounces, or staggers and makes it immobile for a predetermined time. Control is performed (S25). That is, the size of the motion control unit 35a increases as the number of bounces of the snowball 24 increases, and the larger the size of the snowball, the greater the degree of damage or staggering to the enemy player character when it hits the enemy player character. ..

In this way, the motion control unit 35a may have different actions on the enemy player character based on the number of bounces. Different actions on an enemy player character based on the number of bounces means, for example, that the type of action is the same, but the amount, amount, or degree of the action may be different, or the type of action is different. It may be different. When the type of action is the same but the amount, amount, or degree of action is different, for example, when the object to be released hits the target object, if the target object staggers for a certain period of time, the stagger time contacts. It may become longer as the number of times increases. When the type of action is different, for example, when the released object with one contact hits the target object, only the staggering action is given to the target object, and the released object with one contact is the target. When it hits an object, in addition to the staggering action, the parameter (life value) of the target object may be reduced or the damage value may be accumulated.

The motion control unit 35a instructs the display control unit 36a to change the display form of the enemy player character based on the damage given to the enemy player character that hits the snowball 24. The display control unit 36a draws so as to change the display form of the player character hitting the snowball 24 in response to an instruction from the operation control unit 35a, and the display control unit 36b of the player terminal 12b via the server 15. In response to an instruction from the motion control unit 35a, instruction information to be drawn so as to change the display form of the player character hit by the snowball is transmitted.

When the number of bounces exceeds a predetermined number (NO in S24), the motion control unit 35a instructs the display control unit 36a to burst the snowball 24 immediately before the snowball comes into contact with the enemy character object (S26). ). The display control unit 36a draws to burst the snowball 24 based on the instruction from the operation control unit 35a, and also from the operation control unit 35a to the display control unit 36b of the player terminal 12b via the server 15. Based on the instruction of, the instruction information is transmitted to draw the snowball 24 to be burst just before the snowball 24 comes into contact with the enemy character object.

When the number of bounces of the snowball 24 exceeds a predetermined number, the motion control unit 35a bursts the snowball 24, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the snowball 24 may be hit as it is, for example. .. However, in this case, the influence of 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, etc. of the influence given by S25 may be caused to damage the enemy player character to which the snowball 24 comes into contact. For example, when the influence given in S26 is damage to the enemy player character, in S27, the motion control unit 35a may give damage such as 1/4, 1/3, or 1/2 of the damage. Further, for example, when the influence of S26 is a staggering state on the enemy player character for a predetermined time, in S27, the motion control unit 35a has a time such as 1/4, 1/3, or 1/2 of the predetermined time. You may give a staggered state.

As a result, when the number of bound touches exceeds the upper limit set for the snowball 24, the motion control unit 35a can suppress the action on the enemy player character more than before the upper limit is exceeded.

According to this flow, when the number of bounces is the second number (for example, the second time) that is larger than the first number (for example, the first time), the motion control unit 35 is the first number of times when a snowball collides. It is controlled so as to exert an action more advantageous to the first player than the action exerted by. That is, the influence (damage, stagger, immobility, etc.) of the n + 1th snowball on the enemy player character when it hits the enemy player character is greater than that of the nth bounce.

Further, the motion control unit 35 may control the duration of the action on the enemy player character according to the number of bounces. That is, when the snowball with a large number of bounces hits the enemy player character, the motion control unit 35a staggers or temporarily becomes unable to move for a longer period of time. In this way, the motion control unit 35 may suppress the action of the enemy character colliding with the snowball 24 for a certain period of time.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart relating to the processing when the enemy player character who has come into contact with the snowball in the present embodiment further comes into contact with the snowball. In this flow, as an action when a snowball hits an enemy player character, the case where the enemy player character staggers for a predetermined time is mainly described for convenience of explanation, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the enemy player character may become stuck for a predetermined time or the enemy player may not move. The character's behavior may be suppressed for a predetermined time.

Further, in the flowchart of FIG. 9, the player character that released the first snowball 24 is the first player character 22a, and the player character that released the second snowball 24 is the ally player character (third). It is assumed that the player character 22c) is not limited to this, and the player character who has released the first snowball 24 may also release the second throw with a time lag.

Regarding the processing of this flow, the motion control unit 35a is in a waiting state until the snowball 24 hits the enemy character object (NO in S31). When the snowball 24 hits the enemy character object (YES in S31), the motion control unit 35a reduces the predetermined life value L1 from the current life value of the enemy player character and controls the display so as to stagger for a predetermined time. Instruct unit 36a. The display control unit 36a controls the display form so as to stagger for a predetermined time based on the instruction from the operation control unit 35a (S32). Further, the display control unit 36a transmits the instruction information from the operation control unit 35a to the other player terminal 12 via the server 15.

The motion control unit 35a controls to display on the player terminal of the ally player (third player in the case of FIG. 6) that the enemy player character is staggering (S33). The display control unit 36a transmits the instruction information from the operation control unit 35a to the third player terminal 12c via the server 15. The display control unit 36c of the third player terminal 12c causes the screen 14c to identifiable that the enemy player character is in a staggered state based on the instruction information. Distinguishing the display to the ally player is, for example, the above-mentioned auxiliary display information 51, and it is identified that the enemy player character is staggering on the screen 14 of the player terminal 12 of the third player who is the ally player. It includes highlighting the enemy player character (changing the color, enclosing it in a frame, etc.) and displaying a message to the effect that it is an "attack chance" so that it can be done.

The motion control unit 35a further determines whether or not the snowball 24 hits the enemy player character while the enemy player character is staggering for a predetermined time (S34). If the snowball 24 hits the enemy player character while the enemy player character is staggering for a predetermined time (YES in S34), the motion control unit 35a has a predetermined life from the current life value of the enemy player character. Decrease the value L2. Here, L1 <L2. Further, the motion control unit 35a instructs the display control unit 36a to draw a state in which a large amount of damage corresponding to a predetermined life value L2 is given to the enemy player character. Based on the instruction from the motion control unit 35a, the display control unit 36a controls the display form so as to draw a state in which a large damage of a predetermined life value L2 is given to the enemy player character (S35). Further, the display control unit 36a transmits the instruction information from the operation control unit 35a to the other player terminal 12 via the server 15.

If the enemy player character is not hit by a snowball while the enemy player character is staggering for a predetermined time (NO in S34), the motion control unit 35a returns the enemy player character from the stagger and the enemy player. The display control unit 36a is instructed to display the character in the normal display mode of the player character (S36). The display control unit 36a controls the enemy player character so as to display the normal player character based on the instruction from the motion control unit 35a. Further, the display control unit 36a transmits the instruction information from the operation control unit 35a to the other player terminal 12 via the server 15.

According to this flow, in the motion control unit 35a, the first player character operated by the first player and the second player character operated by the second player having a predetermined relationship with the first player are arranged in the field 21. If the snowball based on the designated operation of the second player comes into contact with the enemy player character while the first action based on the designated operation of the first player is occurring on the enemy player character, the action is higher than the first action. It can be controlled to exert a large second action on the enemy player character. For example, when the first action causes a predetermined damage to the enemy player character, the second action may be to inflict a predetermined time (twice, three times, etc.) of the predetermined damage to the enemy player character. Further, for example, when the first action causes the enemy player character to stagger, immobilize, or suppress the action for a predetermined time, the second action is to make the enemy player character stagger (twice, three times, etc.) the predetermined time. You may want to stagger your time, get stuck, or suppress your behavior.

Regarding S33, the motion control unit 35a indicates that the enemy player character is staggering only with respect to the player terminal of the ally player selected based on the relative position from the enemy player on which the action is occurring. Identifiable notifications may be used. For example, it is assumed that there are a plurality of player characters operated by the ally player of the first player on the field 21. In this case, the motion control unit 35a may perform the processing of S33 only on the player terminal used by the player who operates the player character having the closest relative position to the first player character.

Further, with respect to S33, the motion control unit 35a may select the number of ally players to be notified based on the time during which the action occurring on the enemy player character continues. That is, it is assumed that there are a plurality of player characters operated by the ally player of the first player on the field 21. In this case, the motion control unit 35a selects more ally players to notify S33 as the enemy player character staggers for a longer time (in other words, the larger the size of the snowball), and notifies the notification. You may go. For example, when the enemy player character is staggering for 1 second (or when the size of the snowball is the initial size), the motion control unit 35a selects one ally player to notify S33 and sets the player. The notification may be given to the selected person. Further, the motion control unit 35a has two ally players who notify S33 when the enemy player character is staggering for 2 seconds (or when the size of the snowball is the next largest after the initial size). You may select and notify the selected two people. Further, when the enemy player character is staggering for 3 seconds (or when the size of the snowball is the largest size), the motion control unit 35a selects three ally players to notify S33. The notification may be given to the selected three persons. Here, the selection of the player may be randomly determined by the motion control unit 35a, or a predetermined priority (for example, high attack power, length of the period in which the group is formed, and the latest selection). It may be decided according to the time, etc.). Further, the first player may determine the priority of the ally player in advance, or the first player may determine the priority when the process of S33 occurs.

Further, with respect to S33, the motion control unit 35a operates an ally player character arranged within a predetermined range on the field in the game space determined based on the time during which the action occurring on the enemy player character continues. The player terminal operated by the player may be notified. The ally player characters arranged within the range may be, for example, all ally player characters located at a predetermined relative position from the first player, or all ally player characters included in a region in a predetermined direction. It may be all ally player characters on the field 21.

The flowchart of FIG. 9 is not limited to the case where the snowballs come into contact with each other with a time lag, and may be applied to the case where two or more snowballs come into contact with each other at the same time. When two or more snowballs hit the enemy player character at the same time, a larger effect may be generated as compared with the case where the snowballs hit with a time lag. That is, when two snowballs hit the enemy player character at the same time, the damage given to the enemy player character is larger than when the snowballs hit the enemy player character with a time lag, or the time and action of staggering or temporarily immobilizing. May be longer in action, such as being suppressed for a predetermined time.

In addition, actions such as staggering, temporary immobility, and suppression of behavior for a predetermined time may be linked by contacting snowballs in sequence or at the same time within a predetermined time during which this action is effective. For example, when the enemy character is hit by the first snowball, it is assumed that the action time is 1 second, such as staggering, temporary immobility, and suppression of action for a predetermined time. If the second throw hits in 1 second when this action time is expressed, the action time is added by another 2 seconds.
