In one embodiment, in order to identify the objects 611 to 616 corresponding to the respective object interfaces 211 to 216, the game providing device sets the object interfaces 211 to 216 to the corresponding objects 611 to 616 on the game screen. can display the same number as In one embodiment, if the order of the object interfaces 211 to 216 is changed, the number of the object interfaces 211 to 216 and/or the corresponding objects 611 to 616 may also be changed. In one embodiment, when the skill target selection interface 210 is removed from the screen, the number displayed on the object may also be removed.

7A and 7B are diagrams for explaining a method of determining an object displayed on a skill target selection interface according to various embodiments of the present disclosure.

7A and 7B illustrate an example of a game screen in which a game space in which characters 610 and objects are located and a skill target selection interface 210 are displayed in a user terminal. To describe a method of determining objects displayed on the skill target selection interface, it is assumed that objects are located at locations indicated by 1, 2, ??, and 10 around the character 610 .

As described above, at least one object 710 displayed on the skill target selection interface 210 may be an object capable of interacting with the character 610 in a game space where the character 610 is located. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, at least one object 710 displayed on the skill target selection interface 210 is an object located within a predetermined distance from the character 610 in the game space where the character 610 is located. can be determined by

In one embodiment, if there is no object that can use a skill within a predetermined distance from the character 610 in the game space where the character 610 is located, the skill target selection interface 210 may not be displayed. In this case, the game providing device may output a notification indicating that there is no target that can use the skill to the user.

In one embodiment, at least one object 710 displayed on the skill target selection interface 210 may be determined according to a target condition set for a skill. For example, in the case of a skill set to be applied only to a hostile target, at least one object 710 among objects hostile to the character 610 may be determined. For another example, in the case of a skill set to be applied only to the character itself or a target that is not hostile, at least one object 710 may be determined among the character 610 itself and objects that are not hostile to the character 610 .

Referring to FIG. 7A , in various embodiments, the maximum number of objects that may be displayed on the skill target selection interface 210 may be set in advance. If the number of objects to which a skill can be applied exceeds the maximum number, the game providing device selects at least one object ( 710) can be selected.

In one embodiment, at least one object 710 displayed on the skill target selection interface 210 may be selected in order close to the character 610 . For example, if the number of object interfaces that can be displayed on the skill target selection interface 210 is set to a maximum of N (where N is a natural number), among objects to which a skill can be applied, N objects in order close to the character 610 may be determined as at least one object 710 .

In one embodiment, at least one object 710 displayed on the skill target selection interface 210 may be selected based on the direction in which the character 610 looks. For example, when the character 610 is looking downward on the game screen, an object located below the character may be selected with priority over objects located in the right, left, or upward directions of the character.

However, it is not limited to the above example, and at least one object 710 displayed on the skill target selection interface 210 may be selected by any other criterion.

In one embodiment, at least one object 710 displayed on the skill target selection interface 210 may be determined when the skill target selection interface 210 is displayed for the first time. For example, at least one object 710 may be determined when a user input for selecting a skill corresponding to the skill target selection interface 210 is obtained through a skill interface. For example, the game providing device acquires positions of objects to which a skill can be applied at the time of obtaining a user input for displaying the skill target selection interface 210, and selects skill targets in order close to the character 610. At least one object 710 displayed on the interface 210 may be selected.

In one embodiment, at least one object 710 displayed on the skill target selection interface 210 may be updated by a user input. For example, the at least one object 710 may be determined again at the time of obtaining a user input for the refresh interface 218 of the skill target selection interface 210, and based on the determination, the skill target selection interface ( 210) may be updated. For example, the game providing device acquires positions of objects to which a skill can be applied at the time of obtaining a user input for updating the skill target selection interface 210, and selects skill targets in order close to the character 610. At least one object 710 displayed on the interface 210 may be selected.

In one embodiment, at least one object 710 displayed on the skill target selection interface 210 may be updated at regular intervals. For example, the at least one object 710 may be re-determined every T seconds (where T is a number greater than 0) while the skill target selection interface 210 is being displayed, and the skill target based on the determination. The selection interface 210 may be updated. For example, the game providing device acquires the positions of objects to which a skill can be applied every T seconds, and at least one object 710 displayed on the skill target selection interface 210 in order of proximity to the character 610 can choose

In another embodiment, at least one object 710 displayed on the skill target selection interface 210 may be updated in real time. For example, the at least one object 710 may be re-determined whenever there is a change in character information or object-related information (eg, location, physical strength, energy, buff, debuff, state, etc.), and the determined Based on the object interface may be updated.

For example, the game providing device may identify a game event in which at least one object 710 displayed on the skill target selection interface 210 is updated. The game event may include an event in which a position of a character or object is changed, an event in which an object is created, and an event in which an object is removed, but is not limited thereto. In response to identifying the game event, the game providing device may select at least one object 710 displayed on the skill target selection interface 210 in an order close to the character 610 .

In another embodiment, at least one object 710 displayed on the skill target selection interface 210 is updated only by user input, and only object information displayed on the skill target selection interface 210 is updated periodically or in real time. It can be. For example, even if a first object among at least one object 710 displayed on the skill target selection interface 210 moves away from the character, the object interface corresponding to the first object in the skill target selection interface 210 is not removed. may not be When the first object is out of the skill usable range, an indication indicating that the skill cannot be used may be displayed on an object interface corresponding to the first object. At this time, when a user input for updating the skill target selection interface 210 is obtained, the first object may be removed from the skill target selection interface 210 .

In one embodiment, object interfaces displayed on the skill target selection interface 210 may be arranged according to the priority of selecting at least one object 710 . For example, in the object interface displayed on the skill target selection interface 210 , corresponding objects 710 may be arranged in an order close to the character 610 . However, it is not limited to the above example, and object interfaces may be sorted by any other criterion.

In one embodiment, the object interface corresponding to the current target of the character 610 may be displayed in the first order in the skill target selection interface 210 . In one embodiment, the object interface corresponding to the character 610 itself may be displayed in the first order in the skill target selection interface 210 .

In one embodiment, the order in which the object interfaces are arranged may be changed periodically or in real time. For example, as the position of at least one object 710 displayed on the character and skill target selection interface 210 is changed, the object interfaces may be rearranged in the order of objects close to the character. In another embodiment, the order in which the object interfaces are arranged is fixed at the point in time when at least one object 710 is determined, and may not change unless the at least one object 710 is updated.

Referring to FIG. 7B , in one embodiment, if the number of objects to which a skill can be applied exceeds the maximum number that can be displayed on the skill target selection interface 210, an object currently not displayed by a user input ( 720) may be displayed on the skill target selection interface 210. For example, the skill information interface 217 included in the skill target selection interface 210 may provide a function of displaying objects that are not currently displayed by updating skill target information.

In one embodiment, when obtaining a user input for displaying objects not currently displayed on the skill target selection interface 210, the game providing device excludes the objects 710 displayed on the current skill target selection interface 210. Among the objects, at least one object 720 to be displayed on the skill target selection interface 210 may be determined.

8A and 8B are diagrams for explaining a relationship between a skill target selection interface and a current target of a character according to various embodiments of the present disclosure.

8A and 8B illustrate an example of a game screen in which a game space in which characters 610 and objects are located and a skill target selection interface 210 are displayed in a user terminal.

In one embodiment, the current target of the character may be set to the selected object by a user input for selecting an object on the game screen. 8A illustrates a state in which the character's current target is set to the first object ('spider', 811).

In one embodiment, the object 811 set as the character's current target may be displayed highlighted with a predetermined indicator (eg, a rectangle surrounding the object). In one embodiment, a predetermined indicator (eg, an edge emphasis) may be displayed on the object interface 211 corresponding to the current target 811 of the character.

In one embodiment, when at least one object to be displayed on the skill target selection interface 210 is determined in a state where the current target 811 of the character is set, the determined at least one object may include the current target 811 of the character. can In one embodiment, the current target 811 of the character may be preferentially included in at least one object regardless of a criterion for determining the at least one object. In one embodiment, the object interface 211 corresponding to the current target 811 of the character may be displayed in the first order in the skill target selection interface 210 .

In one embodiment, the game providing device may obtain a user input for selecting an object 815 different from the current target 811 of the character through the skill target selection interface 210 . For example, a user input for the object interface 215 corresponding to the second object ('mantis', 815) that is not the character's current target may be obtained. The game providing device may control the effect of the skill corresponding to the skill target selection interface 210 to be applied to the other object 815 in response to a user input for selecting another object 815 .

In one embodiment, the game providing device may change the current target of the character to another object 815 in response to obtaining a user input for selecting another object 815 . In FIG. 8B, a state in which the current target of the character is changed to the second object 815 is illustrated. In one embodiment, even if the character's current target is changed to another object, the order in which objects are displayed in the skill target selection interface 210 may not be changed.

According to another embodiment, even if a skill is used for an object 815 different from the current target 811 of the character through the skill target selection interface 210, the current target of the character may not be changed or released. That is, even if the object interface 215 corresponding to the second object 815 in the example of FIG. 8B is clicked, the current target of the character is maintained as the first object 811, and the effect of the skill is applied to the second object 815. can be applied to

For example, the user may want to have the character target and attack the first object 811 while using a skill on the second object 815 . In this case, if the character's current target is changed to the second object 815 when the skill is used on the second object 815, the attack on the first object 811 is stopped. If the character's current target is not changed even if the skill is used on an object different from the character's current target through the skill target selection interface 210, the skill can be used efficiently on multiple targets without interrupting the flow of battle, so user experience this can be enhanced. In this case, the user can change the character's current target by manipulating the direct selection of the object 811 on the game screen.

In one embodiment, even if a user input for displaying the skill target selection interface 210, for example, a user input for selecting a skill in the skill interface is obtained, the automatic battle mode in progress may not be released.

In one embodiment, the game providing device may obtain a user input for selecting an object through the skill target selection interface 210 while the character is in an automatic battle mode. The selected object may be the character's current target or may be another object other than the current target. Based on the user input for selecting the object, the game providing device may control the effect of the skill corresponding to the skill target selection interface 210 to be applied to the selected object. In one embodiment, even if a skill is manually used through the skill target selection interface 210, the automatic battle mode being performed may not be released.

For example, a user may want to manually use a specific skill while a character performs an automatic battle. In this case, if the character's automatic combat mode is canceled when the skill is used, the attack on the current target is stopped, resulting in a decrease in combat efficiency. Even if a skill is manually used through the skill target selection interface 210, if the character's automatic combat mode continues, the user experience can be improved because the skill can be used efficiently without combat interruption.

In one embodiment, when a skill is manually used through the skill target selection interface 210 while the character is in the auto battle mode, the skill may be used regardless of the cycle of using the skill in the auto battle mode. For example, when a skill is used every T1 seconds in the auto battle mode, the user may manually use the skill between automatic skill uses. In this case, since there is an effect such as an increase in the character's attack speed, the user's interest can be induced by increasing the efficiency of manual combat rather than automatic combat.

In one embodiment, when a skill is manually used through the skill target selection interface 210, it may be set that the skill cannot be used again before a predetermined waiting time for use passes after the skill is used. For example, it may be set so that the skill can be used again only after T2 seconds (T2 is a number greater than or equal to 0) after using the skill. In one embodiment, the predetermined use standby time T2 may be set shorter than the predetermined period T1 of automatically using the skill in the automatic battle mode. In this case, since the efficiency of manual combat is higher than that of automatic combat, it may be an incentive for the user to perform manual combat.

In one embodiment, the number of times a skill can be continuously used for a specific skill may be set. The number of times the skill can be used continuously is the number of times the skill can be used continuously without waiting time by a user input through the skill target selection interface 210 corresponding to the skill.

In one embodiment, the number of times the skill can be used continuously may be accumulated up to a predetermined maximum number of uses, once per predetermined charging time. The number of times the skill can be used consecutively may be deducted once each time the skill is used. For example, if the charging time of a certain skill is T3 seconds (T3 is a number greater than 0) and the maximum number of uses is N, the number of consecutive uses of the skill increases by 1 every T3 seconds, and when it reaches N may not increase further. The user may continuously use the skill as many times as the remaining number of times without a waiting time by a user input through the skill target selection interface 210 corresponding to the skill. In one embodiment, the charging time may be calculated from the last time the skill was used.

If you set the number of times a skill can be used consecutively, it is possible to provide a sense of speed to the battle by allowing the skill to be used without rest when manually using the skill. At the same time, by limiting the maximum number of uses, it is possible to prevent abusing using only one skill infinitely. Therefore, it is possible to induce interest of the user by providing a more dynamic combat experience to the user.

10 is a diagram for explaining a locking function of a skill target selection interface according to various embodiments of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 10 , a skill target selection interface 210 and a skill interface 250 before locking (1010) and after locking (1050) are shown. The skill target selection interface 210 corresponds to the skill of the skill button 251 included in the skill interface 250 .

In one embodiment, the skill target selection interface 210 may provide a lock setting function for setting a specific object as a basic target of a skill by a user input. In one embodiment, when a skill is locked, the skill interface 250 may provide a function of using a skill to a basic target according to a user input.

In one embodiment, the game providing device may obtain a user input for selecting an object to be set as a basic target of a skill from among at least one object included in the skill target selection interface 210 . In response to obtaining a user input for selecting an object to be set as a basic target of a skill, the game providing device may set the selected object as a basic target of a skill corresponding to the skill target selection interface 210 . For example, when a user input for the object interface 211 is obtained, an object corresponding to the object interface 211 may be set as a basic target of a skill.

In one embodiment, a user input for selecting an object to be set as a basic target of a skill through the skill target selection interface 210 may be different from a user input for selecting an object to use a skill. For example, when a user input of tapping the object interface 211 is obtained, the effect of the skill is applied to an object corresponding to the object interface 211, and a double tap or tap of the object interface 211 is performed. When a user input of tap and hold is obtained, an object corresponding to the object interface 211 may be set as a basic target of a skill. Of course, it is not limited to the above examples.

In one embodiment, the game providing device may obtain a user input for selecting a locked skill through the skill interface 210 . In response to a user input for selecting a locked skill, the game providing device may control an effect of the selected skill to be applied to a basic target set in the skill. For example, when a user input is obtained for a skill button 251 corresponding to a locked skill among at least one skill button included in the skill interface 210, the effect of the skill corresponding to the skill button 251 is displayed. It can be applied to the basic target of the skill.

In one embodiment, the skill target selection interface 250 may not be displayed or removed from the screen according to a user input for selecting a locked skill through the skill interface 210 . That is, when a skill not set to lock is selected in the skill interface 210 by a user input, the skill target selection interface 250 corresponding to the selected skill is displayed or removed from the screen, while the lock in the skill interface 210 is displayed. When a set skill is selected, the effect of the selected skill can be applied directly to the set basic target.

In another embodiment, a user input for using a skill on a basic target through the skill interface 210 may be different from a user input for displaying or removing the skill target selection interface 250 from the screen. For example, when a user input of tapping a skill button 251 corresponding to a locked skill is acquired, the skill target selection interface 210 corresponding to the skill is displayed or removed from the screen, and When a user input of double-tap or tap-and-hold the corresponding skill button 251 is obtained, the effect of the skill may be applied to the basic target. Of course, it is not limited to the above example.

In one embodiment, the skill target selection interface 210 and the skill interface 250 may include an indication indicating that the skill is locked. For example, a predetermined icon (eg, a lock icon) may be displayed on the object interface 211 corresponding to an object set as a basic target in the skill target selection interface 210 . For example, a predetermined icon (eg, a lock icon) may be displayed on a skill button 2510 corresponding to a locked skill in the skill interface 250 .

11 is a diagram illustrating various examples of a skill target selection interface.

In one embodiment, the skill target selection interface may include an indication indicating that the effect of the skill is applied to the object. For example, when a skill effect is applied to an object through a skill target selection interface, an indication indicating that the skill effect is applied may be displayed on a corresponding object interface. For example, as soon as the effect of the skill is applied to the object, a visual effect of emphasizing the edge of the corresponding object interface may be displayed (1110). For another example, the moment the effect of the skill is applied to the object, the visual effect of the skill appearing on the game screen may be equally displayed on the corresponding object interface (1120).

In one embodiment, when the effect of the skill lasts for a certain period of time, an indication indicating that the effect of the skill applied to the object continues may be displayed on the skill target selection interface (1130). For example, an object interface corresponding to an object to which a continuous effect of a skill is applied may include an indication indicating a remaining duration of the skill effect. For example, an object interface corresponding to an object to which a continuous effect of a skill is applied may include an indication indicating a ratio of remaining duration to total duration.

The aforementioned indication(s) may be updated in real time. By means of the above indication(s), the user can receive feedback clearly conveying that the skill has been successfully used. In addition, it is possible to use the skill efficiently by grasping the usage status of the skill at a glance. Thus, the user experience is improved.
