The present invention relates to a method for providing a combat command system in an online game, and more particularly, a multi-player online role playing game represented by Lineage. Guilds, such as siege wars, are groups or groups organized by a large number of users within an online game for a specific purpose, and are guilds, clans, and clans depending on the game. How to provide a combat command system in an online game that allows a commander user in the guild to communicate operations and commands more efficiently to the guild in the group battles involving large-scale users. It is about.

In general, in a large group battle involving a large number of users, such as siege warfare in MMORPGs, there are two types of combat command: in-game text chat and voice chat. The commonality is that operations and commands are communicated through the bay.

1 is a block diagram showing a command method used in a group battle in a general online game.

Among the above methods, the command method using a text conversation used in a large-scale group battle in an online game in which a large number of users participates, such as the siege of the majority of MMORPG, there is a problem that can not be accurate and fast combat command.

To overcome this, voice chat is used in FPS (First Person Shooting) -like multiplayer or online games, but it is also accurate for hundreds or thousands of users and dozens of smaller parties. It is disadvantageous to have quick and quick instructions.

2 is a block diagram showing a command method used for artificial intelligence in a real-time strategy simulation game.

Typically, in real-time strategy simulation (referred to as RTS) games represented by star-craft, users battle against a number of non-player characters (NPCs) moving through artificial intelligence (AI). In order to efficiently deliver the instructions, the combat command method called 'Select and Order' is solved through a dedicated user interface (hereinafter referred to as UI), but it is applied only to the player to AI. There is a problem in that it is a unidirectional method and not bidirectional for a user to player.

Therefore, in the case of a large-scale battle in an online game involving a large number of users, such as the siege of MMORPG, the commander user should be able to issue the combat command to the downstream users faster and more efficiently. There is a need for a combat command system in an online game where commands can be delivered quickly and intuitively.

The present invention proposes to solve all the problems of the prior art as described above, the commander user to the lower users in the large-scale battles involving a large number of users in the guild unit in the online game, such as the siege of MMORPG A method of providing a combat command system in an online game that can accurately and efficiently issue a combat command.

In addition, the present invention provides an online game that allows the lower-level users to quickly and intuitively understand the combat command issued from the commander user in a large-scale battle involving guild units in an online game such as the siege of MMORPG. Another way is to provide a combat command system.

In order to achieve the above object, a method for providing a combat command system in an online game according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a step of installing, by a commander user, an Observation Post (OP) for commanding;

2 steps of activating a dedicated interface for command on the screen of the commander user;

Converting a point of view in the game of the commander user to an observer;

Step 4 in which the commander selects a lower user by individual or a small group (for example, a party) to designate a way point and transmit a command such as waiting, moving, or attacking;

A step 5 of displaying the movement route and the command selected from the commander and transmitted to the individual or small group user who received the movement route and the command on the screen;

Characterized in that it comprises a.

The above objects, features and advantages will become more apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

3 is a configuration diagram of an embodiment of a method for providing a combat command system in an online game to which the present invention is applied.

As shown in the figure, a method of providing a combat command system in an online game to which the present invention is applied includes a main server 310, a database (hereinafter simply referred to as a DB) 320, and a user's client system 330. The main server 310 includes a login server that controls user access and communicates with account DB information, a game server that actually runs the online game, and the database 320 is generated by the user for each server. One character DB, a user account DB containing the account information of each user, etc., but this substructure is described in detail as it does not play an unusual role in the general application or configuration of the present invention as described above. To be omitted.

The client system 330 installed in the user terminal for accessing the main server 310 where the online game is serviced is a main interface 331 necessary for general game progression and a commanding interface for a combat command system to which the present invention is applied. (332). The command interface 332 can be activated only for characters that meet certain conditions, such as installing an observatory (OP) on the battlefield in the game, and the command interface 332 is activated on the user client system 330. When activated, the main interface 331 required for normal game play may be completely hidden or disabled, or only partially hidden or deactivated, or with the command interface 332. It may not be hidden together and may always be enabled.

4 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a method of providing a combat command system in an online game to which the present invention is applied.

As shown in the figure, the method of providing a combat command system in an online game to which the present invention is applied starts with a commander player attempting to install an Observation Post (OP) in the game (400). ). The game calculates, at the commander's request to install the station, whether the user is authorized to install the station, and whether the user meets the in-game conditions, such as whether the location and time are appropriate to install the station. If the conditions are met, the commander will install the station at the location at the request of the user (420).

The commander user's client system with the station installed activates a command interface to the commander user, and the in-game point of view is converted to an observer (430), on which the commander user's client system is located. The Main Interface, which was present for normal game play, can be hidden, disabled, or unhide.

The commander user whose command interface is activated through the process may request a lower user who will transmit a command to participate in his command communication channel (440), where the commander user requests to join the command communication channel. May be separately for each sub-user, and if the sub-user is already a small group (Party), the participation request may be represented only to the leader user (Party Leader Player) of the sub-group. If the participation request is accepted by the lower user or the leader user of the small group consisting of lower users (450), the lower user or all the users belonging to the small group participate in the command communication channel (460).

A small group leader user who participates in the command communication channel may install a guard post (GP; Guard Post) in the battlefield (470), and the commander user may view a field of view in the battlefield at the observer point of view through a watchtower installed by the leader user. Field of view) (480).

Through the above process, the commander user who has completed the preparation of the combat command selects the sub-users participating in the command communication channel directly or on the channel interface (490). If you select a reader user, you can also automatically select all subordinate users belonging to the same subgroup as the leader user.

The commander user who has selected a sub-user or a small group participating in the command communication channel can set the movement path and the moving target point of the sub-user or the sub-group through a way point designation method (491). In step 492, a set of commands such as waiting, moving, attacking, reconnaissance, and the like may be transmitted to a selected sub-user or a small group. Of course, it is also possible to simultaneously transfer movement routes and commands to all users participating in the command communication channel established by the commander user without selecting a particular sub-user or subgroup. Through the above, the movement path transmitted by the commander user and the command to be performed are received by the selected lower user or all the lower users participating in the small group or the command communication channel (493), where the movement path and the received command are received. Is output on the client system of users through a separate interface (Graphic Interface) and Graphic Effects (Graphic Effect).

As mentioned above, the present invention allows commander users to quickly and efficiently command combat commands to sub-users in large-scale battles in online games involving a large number of users, such as siege battles in MMORPGs, and sub-users are more clear and intuitive. As a result, the quality of an online game capable of large-scale battles involving a large number of users can be improved by allowing commanders to receive orders.

The present invention described above is not limited to the above-described embodiment and the accompanying drawings, and various substitutions, changes, and modifications can be made without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention. It will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art.

As described above, the present invention is a large-scale in which a large number of users participate in a large-scale battle in an online game in which a large number of users participate, such as a siege battle in an MMORPG, in which a commander user orders a lower order faster and more efficiently. Improve the quality of the combat command system in combat-based online games.

In addition, the present invention, the commander user establishes a separate combat command channel, efficiently to all the sub-users participating in the channel, or to the sub-users belonging to each of the selected sub-users or the selected small group (Party). It is possible to improve the qualitative contents of the battle command system in the online game where a large-scale battle involving a large number of users is instructed by indicating a movement route and a moving target.

In addition, the present invention, the battle command system in an online game where a large-scale battle in which a large number of users participates by quickly and clearly outputting a combat command received from the commander user through a graphic interface and a graphic effect to the lower user. Improve the quality of
