Drawing command control method, recording medium, drawing command control device and program {DRAWING COMMAND CONTROL METHOD, RECORDING MEDIUM, DRAWING COMMAND CONTROL DEVICE AND PROGRAM}

The present invention relates to a drawing command control method, a recording medium, a drawing command control device and a program, and more particularly, a drawing command control method for a competitive game in which a plurality of enemies and a character of a player play against the game, the recording medium, the drawing command control device, and the program. It is about.

In recent years, communication games of various aspects using communication networks have begun to spread. Such a communication game includes, for example, directly connecting a plurality of game devices located in different places using a relatively short communication cable or through a LAN, and a game server and the Internet which manage the game progress of each game device. Connection through the back. Each game device is configured by connecting an input device such as a controller pad, a display, a communication cable, a telephone line, or the like to a computer of the game device main body. The player can operate the buttons of the input device and communicate with other players so that many people can play the game at the same time while looking at each display.

In such a communication game, for example, a server / client type game, an access program for accessing a game server from a game device (client computer) operated by a player, and image data and audio data of the game are stored on a recording medium such as a CD-ROM. Many are recorded and provided. The flare controls the motion of each responsible character by operating the game device. The client computer transmits the input information by the player to the game server, and many games draw an image on the display by the game progress instruction received from the game server.

However, in the game through the communication network described above, the commands input by the plurality of players from the respective game apparatuses are executed individually, and the operation of the character controlled by each player is sole, so that a plurality of players can participate in the same game. Even if it is, it is difficult to relate to other characters controlled by other players. That is, even when a plurality of flares simultaneously input a command to attack the same enemy character, since a communication error is generated through the communication network, the command is executed separately, so that a plurality of characters cooperate to defeat the enemy character. It is difficult to express an attack.

Disclosure of Invention It is an object of the present invention to provide a drawing command control method, a recording medium, a drawing command control device, and a program which can provide a sense of solidarity to a plurality of players.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a first aspect of the present invention receives a competitive command for the enemy and his / her character from a plurality of client computers having image data of a competitive motion of a competitive game in which a plurality of enemies and his / her character compete. A drawing command control method of a game server that sends a drawing command for instructing a drawing of the competitive motion to a computer, wherein the previous competitive command is received within a predetermined time after receiving the previous competitive command for any of the enemy and his character. Upon receiving a later competitive command for another character that targets the same character as the character that is the target of the character, it is determined whether the previous competitive command and the later competitive command have a predetermined relation, When it is judged to have, the preceding charge Unlike a match motion corresponding to a command and the later match command, a single drawing command for drawing a match motion of the character that is the object of the previous match command or the next match command is selected, and the drawing command Transmitting to the plurality of client computers.

According to this aspect, when the previous match command and the next match command satisfy predetermined conditions, a plurality of single image commands for drawing a match motion of the character that is the target of the previous match command or the next match command are provided. Since it transmits to the client command computer, it is possible to have a sense of solidarity among the players who play the game on the plurality of client computers because the same competitive motion is drawn to the plurality of client computers, and the previous competitive command is received as the predetermined condition. The target character of a later competitive command that allows input of a later competitive command within a predetermined time from the time and has a predetermined relation with the previous competitive command causes the same character as the target character of the previous competitive command, Each match mode of a command and a later match command And it can increase a sense of community than the player from a point that can image the motion of the charging and charging the same enemy character in cooperation otherwise.

In this aspect, when a later competitive command that is related to the previous competitive command is received within a predetermined time, the later competitive command and the later competitive command are assumed to have no relationship, and thus the later competitive command is further related to the previous competitive command. There is no need to consider the association of later match commands (since there is no need to consider chaining to later match commands), so that a single drawing command can be used in response to a previous match command, a later match command, and a later match command. Selection is easy. At this time, when a later competitive command and a later competitive command are the same competitive command with different target characters, if one of the receiving command is invalid, the later competitive command and the later competitive command may be used. Since the drawing command can be selected, the selection of the drawing command becomes easier. In addition, when the previous competitive command is received, the method further includes transmitting a preparation command for drawing a preparation motion indicating a preparation operation of the competitive motion corresponding to the previous competitive command to the plurality of client computers. Drawing on the display of this client computer indicates that the game server has received the previous competitive command, so that the player can be notified that a later competitive competitive command can be input. Also, when the previous competitive command is received, whether or not the relevant competitive command having a predetermined relation with the previous competitive command exists, even if the competitive command is for the player's character of the character that is the target of the previous competitive command, the related competitive command is determined. If it is determined that a match command exists, sending the match command to a client computer capable of sending the match command to select a match command allows the player to send a match command that is related to the previous match command. Selection is easy. In addition, if the attack power against the enemy character by the drawing command exceeds the sum of the attack power of each of the previous command and the later command, the previous command and the later game are more than the sum of the attack power of the individual command. The attack power when the command is related increases the chances of defeating the same enemy character, thereby increasing the solidarity between players.

The second aspect of the present invention receives a competitive command for the enemy and his character from a plurality of client computers having image data of the competitive motion of a competitive game in which a plurality of enemies and their characters play, and the client computer receives the competitive command of the competitive motion. A drawing command control method of a game server that transmits a drawing command for instructing drawing, wherein a character different from a target of the previous competitive command is received within a predetermined time after receiving the previous competitive command for any of the enemy and his character. Judging whether or not a later competitive command is received, and when judging that the previous competitive command is received, a parallel drawing command for drawing a parallel match motion corresponding to each of the previous competitive command and the later competitive command. Send to the plurality of client computers It includes the steps:

According to this aspect, it is determined whether or not a later competitive command for a character different from the target of the previous competitive command has been received within a predetermined time since receiving the previous competitive command for either the enemy or his character. When it is judged that it is received, a parallel drawing command for drawing a match motion corresponding to each of the previous match command and the next match command is transmitted to the plurality of client computers. Since the competitive motion corresponding to each of the competitive command of is drawn in parallel, the player can have a sense of solidarity with other players by seeing the competitive motion of his / her character being drawn in parallel.

A third aspect of the present invention receives a drawing command for drawing a match motion of the enemy and his character from a game server that controls a competitive game in which a plurality of enemies and their characters are playing, and corresponds to the drawing command from the drawing data held.

Receiving a display command indicating a predetermined time from the game server to select the relevant competitive command, and when the display command is selected during the predetermined time, transmitting a selection command indicating the selection of the display command to the game server. A drawing command for drawing a match motion of the character of the player who is the target of the match command or the related match command, or a match motion corresponding to the match command and a match of the match command Receiving a parallel drawing command for simultaneously drawing a competitive motion corresponding to a competitive command for another character, determining whether or not the competitive motion is being drawn, and when not drawing, the drawing command or the parallel drawing command And drawing a charging motion corresponding to the drawing command or the parallel drawing command after completion of the drawing of the charging motion when drawing.

According to this aspect, the client computer is a competitive command for the player character transmitted from the other client computer to the game server, and when the relevant competitive command having a predetermined association with the competitive command exists, the relevant competitive command can be selected from the game server. Since a display command for displaying a predetermined time is received and a display command is selected for a predetermined time, a selection command for displaying a selection of the display command is transmitted to the game server, so that the player may change his / her character different from the character by the display by the display command. A drawing command for sending a selection command in consideration of the relationship between the character and the drawing motion for drawing the match motion of the character that is the object of the opponent command or the related competition command, while at the same time promoting cooperation between the characters. Daejeon command Receive a parallel drawing command for drawing a corresponding match motion and a match motion corresponding to a match command targeting a different character that is different from the target of the match command, and determine whether or not the match motion is drawing. Since the drawing motion or the drawing motion command corresponding to the drawing command or the drawing drawing command is not performed during drawing, the drawing motion or the drawing motion command corresponding to the drawing command is drawn after the drawing of the drawing motion is finished during drawing. Regardless of the difference in time or the difference in communication time between the client computer and the game server, the competitive motion corresponding to the drawing command or the parallel drawing command can be drawn in accordance with the drawing situation of the client computer.

In this case, if the drawing time of the charging motion corresponding to the drawing command is shorter than the sum of the writing time of the charging motion corresponding to the transmitted charging command and the drawing time of the charging motion corresponding to the related charging command, the speedy charging motion Can be expressed. Further, if the image data of the competitive motion corresponding to the drawing command includes a part of the pixel data of each competitive motion corresponding to the competitive command and the associated competitive command, the competitive motion corresponding to the writing command is replaced by the competitive command and the associated competitive command. Since both of the match motions corresponding to the command can be approximated or similar, it is possible to prevent the player's interest in the match motions of other enemies and their characters from being damaged.

A fourth aspect of the present invention is a computer-readable recording medium of the drawing command control method of the third aspect described above.

(action)

Next, with reference to the flowchart about the operation | movement of the server client system 50 of this embodiment, the seven player characters and a game which belong to the self flight unit which seven players operate and control each game device 10 are controlled. A case in which seven enemy characters belonging to an enemy unit controlled by the server 56 are played is described. In addition, it is assumed that the recording medium 1 is already inserted into the game device main body 2, and the game program and game data are stored in the RAM in the CPU block 20. The game data includes action data and image data of the competitive command as described below. The database 57 of the server site 53 includes game progress information, character position information, game command-related data, handover function level, blocking function level, weapon function level, critical function level, as described below. Character attribute data such as evasion power, hit power, vitality, and engagement value are stored. In addition, in order to simplify description, in the following flowchart, description is centered on the operation | movement of a player side character, and the description is abbreviate | omitted that the same process is performed also about the enemy character of a computer side.

The first time the game is played, the player communicates with the account management server 58 of the server site 53 according to the instruction displayed on the screen by the game program to register the user of the game user. In user registration, information such as personal information of a user or a method of paying a fee according to the use of the server site 53 is transmitted, and a user ID and password are obtained. When the game is played after the second time, the game server 56 is accessed via the proxy server 55 with the obtained user ID and password.

<Game Server>

As shown in FIG. 5, the CPU of the game server 56 determines whether or not a competitive command for a plurality of self-characters separately received from the game device 10 can be executed in cooperation, and corresponds to the competitive command. An antistatic processing routine for transmitting a reproduction instruction of the reproduction scene indicating the operation of the character is executed. In the competitive processing routine, first, in step 102, it is judged whether or not a connection from the game device 10 is made. In the case of affirmative determination, a start process for starting a game is performed in the next step 104, and in step 106, the process proceeds to step 106.

In step 104, it is determined whether or not the user ID and password transmitted from the game device 10 and the registered information stored in the account management server 58 match, to perform user authentication. In affirmative determination, it is determined that the user is a registered user, and the game data stored in the database server 57 is read and transmitted to the game device 10. Therefore, in steps 102 to 104, when the connection from the game device 10 is made, user authentication is performed and the game is started. As a result, the player can access the game server 56 at a free time and play the game. Even when the game is interrupted, another flare advances the game, but the game can be resumed soon by loading the game progress information from the game server 56.

In step 106, it is determined whether or not a competitive command for the character is received from the game device 10. In the case of affirmative judgment, the flow advances to step 108; in the case of a negative judgment, the flow returns to step 102. It is determined whether or not the competitive command received in step 108 has a small scene (preparation motion) indicating the preparation action of the character corresponding to the competitive command. In case of judgment, step 122 is reached. In step 110, it is determined whether or not the playback instruction of the small scene corresponding to the competitive command of the other character of the other party has already been transmitted to the game device 10. When the combo reception time described later is displayed, it is determined that the playback instruction for the small scene has already been transmitted. In the case of affirmative judgment, the process proceeds to step 122 and in the case of a negative judgment, the process proceeds to step 112.

In step 112, the predetermined combo reception time is read in correspondence with the received charging command, and the clock is started in accordance with the internal clock of the CPU. In the next step 114, all the game apparatuses 10 connected are sent a playback instruction (preparation command) of the small scene corresponding to the received competitive command, and the game apparatus 10 reproduces the small scenes. Therefore, in steps 112 to 114, a small scene corresponding to the previously received competitive command is reproduced so that a combo for cooperating a plurality of competitive command received within the predetermined combo reception time is possible. The combo referred to here represents a so-called cooperative action by cooperating a plurality of competitive commands to attack an enemy character.

Next, in step 116, a display instruction (display command) is sent to the game device 10 for selecting the match command that is received and the match command (related match command) that can be combod. At this time, the CPU determines whether or not the received competitive command and the commissible competitive command are in the related data of the predetermined competitive command, and in the case of affirmative judgment, the game device in charge of controlling the character of the player who can execute the competitive command. In (10), the action list to be described later indicates that there is a battle command of a small scene and a combo that can be combod. For example, it is displayed as "combo", and when the "combo" is selected, it is judged that the competitive command which can be combo was selected. The relevant data of the competitive command is determined so that a reproduction scene can be designated when two competitive commands are combo-capable. As a result, the player can select a match command that can be combod with a match command during small scene reproduction.

In the next step 118, it is determined whether or not it is within the combo reception time, and if it is affirmative judgment, the process proceeds to step 120; In step 120, it is determined whether a match command other than the match command received in step 106 is received. In the case of affirmative determination, the flow advances to step 124. In the case of affirmative determination, in step 122, each game apparatus 10 transmits a reproduction instruction for individually reproducing the reproduction scene corresponding to the competitive command received in the step 106. In step 124, a combo determination processing subroutine is executed to determine whether or not the match command received in step 120 and the match command received in step 106 are possible.

As shown in Fig. 6, the combo determination processing subroutine determines whether the two competitive commands received in step 152 correspond to the relevant data of the competitive command and are the competitive command against the same enemy character. In the case of affirmative determination, it is determined that the combo is possible and proceeds to step 156. In the case of affirmative determination, in the next step 154, a playback instruction is transmitted to each game device 10 to individually reproduce playback scenes corresponding to each of the two competitive commands. The combo judging subroutine ends, and the flow advances to step 126 of FIG.

In step 156, it is determined whether or not there is a combo established previously, and in the case of affirmative judgment, the process proceeds to step 160; in the case of a negative judgment, in step 158, the instruction for reproducing the reproduction of the combo to each game device 10 (drawing command). Is sent, the combo determination processing subroutine ends, and the flow proceeds to step 126 of FIG. In addition, in the following description, the character used as the object of the competitive command received previously is called a combo main, and the character used as the target of the competitive command received later is called a combo helper.

In step 160, it is determined whether the match command of the combo helper of the combo previously established and the match command received in step 120 are the same match command, and if it is affirmative judgment, it goes to step 162, and if it is a negative judgment, it goes to step 164. Goes. In step 162, the charging command received in step 120 is canceled so as not to be executed, and the combo determination processing subroutine ends, and the process proceeds to step 126 in FIG. As a result, a separate match command can be executed for the character that is the object of the canceled match command.

In step 164, an instruction to individually reproduce the reproduction scene of the previously established combo and the reproduction command corresponding to the competitive command received in step 120 is transmitted to each game device 10, and the combo determination processing subroutine is terminated to finish the FIG. Go to step 126. Therefore, in step 152 to step 164, when the two competitive commands received within the combo reception time correspond to the related data of the predetermined competitive command against the same enemy character, it is set as a combo, and the separate competitive command received after the combo is established. A combo with and a combo of one competitive command and two identical competitive commands are not established, and a playback instruction of a playback scene is transmitted to each game device 10 according to each case.

In step 126 of FIG. 5, the game device 10 receives information changed by the game progression such as a change in character's vitality or engagement value, character's position information, and reservation information of a reproduction scene from each game device 10 to update data. At this time, when the reservation information of the reproduction scene contains information for fusing and combining the reproduction scenes as described later, a reproduction instruction (parallel drawing command) is transmitted to each game device 10 for fusing and combining the reproduction scenes. Update data is sent to each game device 10, and the flow returns to step 102.

<Game Device>

Next, the operation of the game device 10 will be described. As shown in Fig. 7, the CPU in the CPU block 20 executes a game control processing routine for reproducing the reproduction scene by the instruction from the game server 56. In the charge control processing routine, first, it waits until the start button 30 is pressed in step 202. If affirmative determination is made in step 202, then connection to game server 56 is established in the next step 204. The input user ID and password are transmitted to the game server 56, and the game can be started when the user is authenticated. Next, in step 206, the initial setting of the game is performed. If there is stored data, the stored data is loaded from the game server 56 and stored in the RAM in the CPU block 20. If there is no stored data, a player character in charge of the player is determined, and the attribute data of the character is loaded from the game server 56 to start the game.

The player presses the △ button 32 of the controller pad 3 to display an arrow icon along with a character name, a character identification number, a list of competitive commands that the character can execute, and an overall image of the character. Let them appear on the By tilting the analog stick 39, the arrow icon is moved to the position of the character serving as the player character among the characters displayed on the screen, and the analog stick 39 is pressed. In addition, the selection of the player character can be made by using a set of cross buttons. At this time, the arrow icon is moved to the position of the desired character in the cross-direction button set and the ○ button 33 is pressed.

The CPU determines that the player character is selected when the analog stick 39 or the button 33 is pressed, and transmits the identification number of the character to the game server 56.

In the next step 208, it is determined whether or not the vertical recursion is performed once every 1/60 second (16.6 milliseconds) coinciding with the vertical retrace period of the television monitor 4; Proceeds to step 210 and proceeds to step 210 in the case of a negative judgment. In step 210, a main processing subroutine for performing information acquisition, sound processing, and the like of the competitive command to be executed by the player character is executed.

As shown in Fig. 8, in the main processing subroutine, it is judged whether or not the button 33 is pressed whether or not a screen display for selecting a competitive command to be executed on the player character is requested in step 252. do. In the case of affirmative judgment, step 254 is reached. In the case of a negative judgment, step 262 is reached.

In step 254, the player plate, which will be described later, is displayed, and the player character is displayed with a list of executable actions. Next, in step 256, it is determined whether or not a competitive command is input, and in the case of a negative judgment, the flow advances to step 262, and in the case of a positive judgment, the flow proceeds to step 258.

Here, the display displayed on the screen of the television monitor 4 will be described. As shown in Fig. 18, when a player character is acted on according to a competitive command, a replay of the competitive command described later is played, a title display 71 displaying the name of the action on the upper left of the screen, and six characters on the lower part of the screen. Character plate 72 showing the schematic attribute data of the player and player plate 75 showing the schematic attribute data of the player character, and an enemy character plate 73 showing the schematic attribute data of the seven enemy characters in the upper part of the screen. Is displayed. As shown in FIG. 15A, the magnetic character plate 72 and the enemy character plate 73 have a vitality gauge 81 for increasing and decreasing the vitality, an atmospheric pressure gauge 82 for increasing and decreasing the engagement value, and a weight time to be described later. Indicative weight time bar 83 is displayed. The vitality gauge 81 indicates that the entire length of the rod-shaped frame represents the vitality 200, and possesses as much vitality as painted from the left end. The engagement value gauge 82 shows that the entire length of the rod-shaped mold represents the engagement value 200 and possesses the engagement values as much as painted from the left end. As shown in FIG. 15B, the player plate 75 is displayed with an action list 84 showing the vitality gauge 81, the engagement value gauge 82, and the competitive command that can be executed by the player character. When the competitive command is input, the weight time bar 83 (not shown) is displayed in the same manner as the character piece plate 72 and the enemy character plate 73.

In the same manner as the player character selection described above, the player selects a competitive command to be executed by the player character from the action list 84 displayed by operating the analog stick 39 or the cross-direction button set, and displays the opponent character on the screen. Choose from the enemy characters displayed.

The CPU determines that the competitive command and the enemy character have been selected when the analog stick 39 or the ○ button 33 is pressed, and determines the action ID and the identification number of the enemy character of the selected competitive command in the next step 258. ), And in step 260, the input flag A = 1 indicating that the information of the entered competitive command is stored in the RAM. Therefore, in steps 256 to 260, when the competitive command to be executed on the player character and the enemy character are input, the input information is stored in the RAM.

Here, the behavior data will be described. As shown in Table 1 below, the action data includes ID, name, classification for discriminating physics behavior and magic behavior for each command, effect type for discriminating effects such as weapon attack or magic, and execution of the corresponding command. In this way, the consumption consumption value consumed by the character, the weight time (waiting time) from the input of the competitive command to the execution time, and the new playback time (drawing time) when reproducing the competitive command are reproduced.

The competitive command of the classification 0 of Table 1 represents a bodily behavior, and mainly the attack by a weapon and the defensive behavior of oneself are classified. In addition, the competitive command of the classification 1 indicates the magic behavior, and mainly attacks by magic are classified. In addition, the Combat command of Effect Class 1 has the effect of direct attack by sword or spear, the Combat Command of Effect Class 2 has the effect of indirect attack by bow and arrow, and the Combat command of Effect Class 3 has magical effect. The charging command of effect category 4 exerts the effect of recovery, and the charging command exerting special effects other than these is classified as effect class 0.

In step 262 of FIG. 8, the sound processing unit 24 instructs execution of sound processing such as sound effects and background music, terminates the main processing subroutine, and proceeds to step 214 of FIG.

When affirmative determination is made in step 208 of FIG. 7, in the next step 212, a combo input process is performed, and a combat processing subroutine for reproducing the reproduction scene is executed.

As shown in Fig. 9, the combat processing subroutine performs the input processing of the combo, the processing during the weight time, and the reproduction processing of the reproduction scene. In addition, the character state graph for determining the state of the character indicates any of the weight state, the extended part reproduction state of the reproduction scene of the competitive command, the main body part reproduction state, and the cancelable part reproduction state.

In step 302, it is determined whether or not a playback instruction of the small scene is received from the game server 56. In the case of a negative determination, the flow advances to step 308, in the case of affirmative determination, in the next step 304, it is determined whether or not the regeneration of the small scene is finished. In the case of affirmative judgment, the flow advances to step 308. In the case of affirmative judgment, a combo input processing subroutine for receiving from the game server 56 whether the competitive command input in step 306 is combo enabled is executed.

As shown in Fig. 10, the combo input processing subroutine determines whether the input flag A = 1 in step 402, proceeds to step 404 for affirmative determination, and ends the combo input processing subroutine for negative determination. The process proceeds to step 308 of FIG. In step 404, the game server 56 transmits input information of the competitive command stored in the RAM. In the next step 406, it is judged whether or not the reproduction instruction of the reproduction of the combo has been received from the game server 56, and when the judgment is negative, the process proceeds to the step 410, and when the affirmative judgment is reached, the process proceeds to the step 408. In step 408, the combo flag on indicating reproduction of the combo is reproduced, the character state graph is in the main part reproduction state, the combo input processing subroutine ends, and the flow proceeds to step 308 in FIG. Therefore, in steps 404 to 408, the reconstruction scene of the combo in which the player character of the competitive command is playing while the small scene is being regenerated and the player character as the combo helper is reproduced.

In step 410, it is judged whether or not a playback instruction for individually reproducing the playback scene has been received from the game server 56. If affirmative judgment is made, the character status flag is set to the weighted state, and the combo input processing subroutine is terminated. In step 308, if it is determined to be negative, the input flag A = 0 at the next step 412, and the combo input processing subroutine ends, and the process proceeds to step 308 in FIG. Therefore, in steps 410 to 412, when the playback signal of the combo and the playback instruction of the individual playback signals are not received from the game server 56, by setting the input flag A = 0, the playback scene corresponding to the input competitive command is not played. Enter the match command of.

In step 308 of FIG. 9, it is determined whether the input flag A = 1. In the case of a negative determination, the flow advances to step 312. In the case of affirmative determination, a weight processing subroutine is executed in step 310 to perform the processing during the weight time.

As shown in FIG. 11, in the weight processing subroutine, it is determined in step 432 whether the match value owned by the player character is sufficient for execution of the competitive command. In the case of a negative determination, the flow advances to step 434. In the case of affirmative determination, the game command 56 transmits the information of the competitive command to the game server 56 in the next step 436. In step 434, the air pressure value is insufficient, so that the pressure value increasing process is performed, the weight processing subroutine ends, and the flow proceeds to step 312 in FIG. The combined value is increased by 1/6 points every 1/60 seconds of the vertical retrace period, that is, 10 points per second.

Next, in step 438, the character status flag is set to the weighted state, and the weight time Tw determined for each competitive command is read from the behavior data stored in the RAM, and 1/60 second is decreased every 1/60 second of the vertical retrace period. The weight time Tw is counted. At this time, the CPU causes the weight time bar 83 of the player plate 75 to display the time information of the weight time until the competitive command is executed. This makes it possible to display the remaining time until the player character executes the competitive command.

Here, the time display of the weight time bar 83 will be described. The weight time bar 83 is displayed in the bar-shaped frame is color-coded. The rod-shaped weight time bar 83 represents the whole 10 seconds from the left end to the right end of the display, and can display the time elapsed for 30 seconds by color classification. When the rest of the weight time Tw is between 20 and 30 seconds, the length of the (Tw-20) second portion at the left end is displayed in light blue, and the remaining portion is displayed in green. When the rest of the weight time Tw is between 10 and 20 seconds, the length of the (Tw-10) seconds portion is displayed in green at the left end and the remaining portion is displayed in yellow. The rest of the weight time Tw is 0 to 10 In the case of seconds, the length of the Tw seconds from the left end is displayed in yellow, and the remaining portion is displayed in white. As a result, when the rest of the weight time Tw is 30 seconds, the entire weight time bar 65 becomes light blue. When the weight time bar 65 decreases from 30 seconds to 20 seconds, the light blue part becomes short and the green part becomes long. When the rest of the weight time Tw is 20 seconds, the entire weight time bar 65 becomes green, and when decreasing from 20 seconds to 10 seconds, the green part becomes short and the yellow part becomes long. When the rest of the weight time Tw is 10 seconds, the entire weight time bar 65 becomes yellow, and when decreasing from 10 seconds to 0 seconds, the yellow part becomes short and the white part becomes long.

In the subsequent step 440, it is judged whether or not a playback instruction of the small scene corresponding to the sent command is received. If the judgment is negative, the process proceeds to step 448. In the case of affirmative judgment, the image processing unit 23 performs the playback of the small scene in the next step 442. Is instructed to draw on the screen of the television monitor 4. The small scene is reproduced during the weight time unlike the reproduction scene of the charging command described later. As shown in Fig. 16, the small scene 62 corresponding to the competitive command of the character of his side is on the lower right side of the screen of the television monitor 4, and the small scene 63 corresponding to the competitive command of the enemy character is the TV monitor 4 as shown in FIG. In the upper left of the screen, a window of a different frame whose size is about 1/4 of the entire screen is opened and reproduced, so that the reproduction scene 61 of another competitive command is reproduced independently.

In the next step 444, it is judged whether or not the playback instruction of the combo is received from the game server 56, and when the affirmative decision is made, the combo flag indicating that the combo is in step 446 is continuously turned on; Go to 448 Therefore, in steps 432 to 448, when the player character has a sufficient match value, the information of the competitive command is transmitted to the game server 56 to start counting the weight time. The combo flag is set when a small scene is played by the instruction from the game server 56 and a playback instruction of the combo is received. At this time, the player character becomes the combo main, and the other player's character becomes the combo helper.

In step 448, it is judged whether or not the weight time Tw has ended by judging whether or not Tw = 0. If it is affirmative determination, the flow advances to step 450, and in the case of negative determination, the weight processing subroutine is terminated and FIG. Go to step 312. In step 450, the weight state of the character state flag is released, and the input flag A = 0. Next, in step 452, the information of the charging command for which the weight time Tw is completed is added to the reservation buffer of the image processing unit 23, and the weight time subroutine ends, and the process proceeds to step 312 in FIG. In the reservation buffer, the information of the competitive command for which the weight time Tw ends and does not reproduce playback scene is stored in the order of ending the weight time Tw. The reproducing scene of the charging command is reproduced by the information of the reservation buffer. Details will be described later. Therefore, in steps 448 to 452, when the weight time Tw of the input competitive command ends, the information of the competitive competitive command is stored in order in the reservation buffer.

Here, the reproduction scene of the charging command will be described. A plurality of sets of motion data corresponding to the competitive command obtained by using motion capture or the like are prepared in the VRAM of the image processing unit 23, and the CPU of the CPU block 20 performs an image by the playback instruction received from the game server 56. It instructs the CPU of the processor 23 what motion data to use. The motion here does not directly calculate the displacement of the pixel in real time, but uses a sequence of data obtained by sampling the movement of a person in advance, and more realistically expresses the behavior of the character. The reproduction scene of a combo is one reproduction scene synthesize | combined by calculating by including a part of each motion data by the data sequence of the motion data corresponding to an individual charging command. At this time, the regeneration time of the scene is made to match any of the regeneration time of the regeneration scene corresponding to the individual competitive command. A typical three-dimensional motion data data structure consists of a scale value representing the size of each character object, a rotation angle about each axis of XYZ in three-dimensional virtual space, and coordinate values for each XYZ component representing a moving distance from the origin. The motions can be expressed by having these frames for each motion by the number of frames of the motions. The frame refers to a time unit of image display processing, which corresponds to a so-called "cut".

As shown in Fig. 17A, the regeneration scene corresponding to the charging command is composed of three parts, in principle, an expansion part, a main body part, and a retractable part, and a small god is included in the combo-capable charging command. The small scene is reproduced during the weight time when the charging command of the combo main is input. After the weight time expires, the extended part, the main body part, and the cancelable part are reproduced in this order. The charging command of the combo helper is input during small scene playback, and when the combo is established, the combo body part is played instead of the main body part playback. The outline of each part will be described using the reproduction scene of the name "slash" as an example. An extension part reproduced before the main body part draws the pre-movement of the action, and the character executing the command will prepare a sword and head. It is a god who swings up loudly. The next body part draws the subject's movement of the action, which is the god until he hits the knife and hits the attack. The subsequent cancelable part is a post-movement of the action, a god that allows the character of the opponent to lean after the attack and the character who executes the competitive command to fix the knife.

As described above, the replay scene of the competitive command is composed of three parts, but when the competitive command for a plurality of characters is received in succession, the configuration of the part to be reproduced by the reproducing situation of another revival scene at the end of the weight time is determined. Change it. This will be explained over time. As shown in Fig. 17B, when six competitive commands are received in succession, the structure of the part to be played back is changed at the timing of the end of the weight time, stored in the reservation buffer, and played back in sequence by the information in the reservation buffer. In addition, in FIG. 17B, "W" indicates weight time, "B" indicates extended part playback, "M" indicates main body part playback, "A" indicates cancelable part playback, and "(A)" Each cancelable part that is not played is shown.

At time a, the weight time of the competitive command (1) ends, and at this time, the reproduction of the other competitive command is not being reproduced, so that the reproduction of the extended part is started. Next, at time b, the weight time of the competitive command ((2) ends, but since the extended part of the competitive command ((1)) is being played, after the expansion part of the competitive command ((1)) and the main body part are finished playing, Information is stored in the reservation buffer so as to reproduce the main part and the cancelable part of the charging command (2), and are placed in the new reproduction reservation state. At this time, the cancelable part of the charging command (1) is canceled without regeneration, and reproduction of the extended part of the charging command (2) is omitted. Next, at time c, the weight time of the charging command (4) ends, but the main body part of the charging command (1) is being reproduced, and the charging command (2) is in a new reproduction reservation state. For this reason, after the regeneration of the main body part of the charging command ((2)) in the regeneration reservation state, the charging command ((4)) is newly rescheduled to reproduce the main body part and the cancelable part of the charging command ((4)). It is in a state. At this time, the cancelable part of the charging command (2) is canceled without reproducing, and the reproduction of the extended part of the charging command (4) is omitted. The input of the charging command (4) is later than the charging command (3), but since the weight time has ended earlier, the reproduction of the reproduction scene comes first. Next, at time d, the weight time of the competitive command (3) and the competitive command (5) ends, but the main body part of the competitive command ((2)) is being reproduced, and the competitive command ((4)) Renewal reservation status. When the weight time of a plurality of competitive commands ends at the same time, the regeneration scene of the competitive command (the competitive command with a large weight time Tw) inputted above is first reproduced. In this case, since the input of the game command (3) is input first, the playback scene of the game command (3) is played first, and then the playback scene of the game command (5) is reproduced. After the reproduction of the main body part of the command ((4)), the main body part of the charging command ((3)), followed by the main body part and the cancelable part of the charging command ((5)) are reproduced. And the charging command (5) is in the regeneration reservation state. At this time, the cancelable part of the competitive command (4) is canceled without regeneration, and the reproduction of the extended part of the competitive command (3), the cancelable part and the extended part of the competitive command (5) is omitted. . That is, after the regeneration of the main body part of the charging command ((2)), the main body part of the charging command ((4)), the main body part of the charging command ((3)), the main body part of the charging command ((5)), and Play back in order of the cancelable parts. Next, at time e, the reproducing of the main body part of the charging command 5 ends, but since there is no charging command in which the weight time has expired otherwise, the cancelable part of the charging command 5 is continued. Next, at time f, the weight time of the charging command 6 ends. At this time, reproduction of the cancelable part of the play command (5) being reproduced is stopped, and the main body part of the play command (6) is reproduced. At this time, reproduction of the extension part of the charging command 6 is omitted. Since the weight time of another competitive command does not end during the reproduction of the reproducing scene of the charging command (6), the reproducing scene of the charging command (6) is reproduced to the end of the cancelable part.

In step 312 of Fig. 9, a regeneration processing subroutine for reproducing a replay scene corresponding to the charging command is executed.

As shown in Fig. 12, in the reproduction processing subroutine, it is determined in step 502 whether or not there is a character on his / her own side in the reproduction state of the reproduction scene. In the case of affirmative determination, the flow advances to step 504. Go to step 544. In step 504, it is determined whether or not the reproduction of the reproduction state is the extended part, and if it is determined in the negative judgment, the flow advances to step 512. In the case of affirmative judgment, the image processing unit 23 instructs the reproduction of the extension part in the next step 506. It can draw on the screen of the television monitor 4.

Next, in step 508, it is determined whether or not reproduction of the extended part has ended, and when it is judged illegally, the reproduction processing subroutine ends, and the flow proceeds to step 314 of FIG. In affirmative determination, in the next step 510, the main body part following the extended part in which playback is completed is put into a playback state, and the playback processing subroutine ends, and the flow proceeds to step 314 in FIG.

In step 512 subsequent to step 504, it is determined whether or not the reproduction mode in the reproduction state is a main body part, and if step 501 is judged to be negative, step 514 is reached. In step 514, it is determined whether or not the combo flag is on. If affirmative determination is made, the process proceeds to step 518. In the case of negative determination, the image processing unit 23 instructs the image processing unit 23 to reproduce the main body part in the next step 516, and the television monitor 4 Draw on the screen. In step 518, a combo reproduction processing subroutine for reproducing the reproduction scene of the combo is executed.

As shown in FIG. 13, in the combo reproduction processing subroutine, in step 602, the reproduction processing of the combo is instructed by the image processing unit 23, and drawn on the screen of the television monitor 4. FIG. In the next step 604, it is judged whether or not reproduction of the reproduction scene of the combo has ended, in the case of affirmative judgment, the combo flag is turned off in step 606, and in the case of a negative judgment, the combo reproduction processing subroutine and the reproduction processing subroutine are terminated. The process proceeds to step 314 of FIG.

Next, in step 608, it is determined whether or not the player character is a combo main. If affirmative determination is made, processing of the combo action result is performed as described below, and the flow proceeds to step 610. In the case of a negative determination, the reproduction state of the character status flag is released in step 612, the combo reproduction processing subroutine and the reproduction processing subroutine are terminated, and the flow proceeds to step 314 in FIG.

In step 610, it is determined whether there is information of a competitive command in the reservation buffer, and in the case of a negative judgment, the flow advances to step 614, and in the case of affirmative judgment, the flow goes to step 616. In step 614, the character status flag is set to the cancelable part reproduction state, the combo reproduction processing subroutine and the reproduction processing subroutine are terminated, and the flow proceeds to step 314 in FIG. In step 616, the character status flag is set to the main body part playback state, the combo playback processing subroutine and the playback processing subroutine are terminated, and the flow proceeds to step 314 in FIG. Therefore, in steps 608 to 616, in the case of the combo main, after the playback of the combo is finished, the reserved playback scene is played when there is a reserved playback scene, and when there is no reserved playback scene, the cancelable part following the combo body part is played back. In the case of the combo helper, the play state of the character status flag is released to enable execution of another competitive command.

In step 520 subsequent to step 516 of FIG. 12, it is determined whether or not the reproduction of the main body part has ended. If the judgment is negative, the playback processing subroutine is terminated to proceed to step 316 of FIG. An action result processing subroutine that executes the result of the execution of the competitive command is executed.

As shown in Fig. 14, in the action result processing subroutine, in step 632, the damage of the player character to the enemy character by the execution of the competitive command is calculated to calculate the vitality of the enemy character. Damage is calculated as follows.

In order to determine whether the attack of the player character has been hit or not, a passing judgment value X for determining whether or not the enemy character can take the attack by the following equation (1) is given by the following equation (2): Calculate the avoidance determination value Y for determining whether the character can avoid the attack, and the blockage determination value Z for determining whether the enemy character can prevent the attack, according to Equation 3 below. do. The skipping judgment value (X), the blocking judgment value (Y), and the blocking judgment value (Z) exceed the predetermined judgment probability determined separately, respectively, in order to skip the attack, avoid the attack, and prevent the attack. Judging by success. In the equation, the subject represents the player character executing the attack, the target represents the enemy character under attack, M is a coefficient according to the attack method of the player character, and when the effect type 1 (direct attack) of the behavior data is used. When M = 1, effect type 2 (indirect attack), M = 0. In addition, the values of the skipping function level (the level of the function that catches the attack), the evasion power (the ability to avoid the attack), the hit power (the ability to hit the attack), and the blocking function level (the level of the function preventing the attack) are Each character is read from attribute data.

Next, a random number of 0 to 99 is obtained, and the hit determination probability Ph is determined, and it is determined whether or not the attack has been hit by Equation (4). When the hit judgment probability Ph is equal to or greater than the sum of the skipping judgment value X, the avoidance judgment value Y, and the blocking judgment value Z, that is, the enemy character is not skipping, avoiding, or blocking an attack. When you can't do that, you think the attack was hit.

When an attack is hit, the damage caused by the attack is obtained as follows. When an attack is not hit, damage is determined. The small damage determination value L for judging the small damage and the intermediate damage is calculated according to the following formula (5), and the large damage determination value (N) for judging the large damage is calculated according to the following formula (6). In addition, the values of the weapon function level (the level of the weapon handling function) and the fatal wound function level (the level of the function giving fatal injury to the opponent) in the equation are respectively read from the attribute data of the character.

Next, a random number of 0 to 99 is obtained, and the damage probability is set as the probability of determination Pd. When damage judgment probability (Pd) satisfies Equation 7 below as small damage, when the following Equation 8 is satisfied as medium damage, when satisfies Equation 9 as large damage, When 10 is satisfied, the maximum damage is made, and the obtained damage is stored in RAM.

Subsequently, the decrease in vitality corresponding to the calculated damage is subtracted from the vitality owned by the enemy character. As shown in Table 2 below, when damage is small, the enemy character's health is reduced by 5, and when the damage is medium, 10 is reduced, 20 is reduced when the damage is large, and 40 is reduced when the damage is maximum. When the player character executes a combo attack that becomes a combo main, the life loss value obtained by multiplying the health reduction value of Table 2 by 2.5 by 2.5 is subtracted from the enemy character's health. When the life is less than zero as a result of the calculation of the life, it is determined that the character is killed. At this time, the CPU instructs the image processing unit 23 to draw the dead character down, and draws the dead character that falls down on the television monitor 4 and does not move.

Damage Health Reduction Small damage 5 Medium damage 10 Great damage 20 Maximal damage 40

In step 634 of Fig. 14, the match value of the player character is calculated. The match value reads the consumption value of the executed competitive command from the RAM and subtracts the consumption value from the value owned by the player character. In the next step 636, the playback state of the main body part of the character status flag is released, the action result processing subroutine ends, and the flow proceeds to step 524 of FIG. As a result, when the reproduction of the main body part is finished, the player character can execute another competitive command.

In step 524 of Fig. 12, it is determined whether or not the competitive command in the reservation state is stored in the reservation buffer. In the case of affirmative determination, the flow advances to step 530. In the case of a negative judgment, the flow advances to the next step 526. In step 520, the cancelable part continues to be in the playback state and the playback processing subroutine ends in FIG. Proceed to step 314. Therefore, in steps 504 to 526, the extension part and the main body part are continuously reproduced when the extension part of the reproduction scene corresponding to the competitive command is in the reproduction state, and the reproduction scene of the combo is reproduced when the combo flag is on. When the reproduction of the main body part is finished, processing of the result by the execution of the competitive command is performed, and when there is no reserve command in the reserved state, the cancelable part is placed in the reproduction state.

In the case of a negative determination in step 512, in step 528, it is determined whether or not a competitive command in the reservation state is stored in the reservation buffer. At this time, since it is determined to be negative (not an extended part) in step 504, and subsequently is negatively judged (not the main body part) in step 512, the cancelable part is in a regenerating state. In the case of a negative judgment, the process proceeds to step 536. In the case of affirmative judgment, the process proceeds to the next step 530. In step 530, it is judged whether or not the reproduction command of the charging command can be simultaneously reproduced or combined, and the process proceeds to step 534 in the case of a negative judgment, and proceeds to step 532 in the case of a positive judgment.

When the weight time of the two charging commands is successively ended within a predetermined time and stored in the reservation buffer, when the following conditions are satisfied, the playback scenes of the two charging commands are fused or combined and reproduced simultaneously. Here, the fusion of reproduction scenes combines and reproduces one reproduction scene from two reproduction scenes, so that the combination divides the display screen of the television monitor 4 to reproduce two reproduction scenes at the same time. The reproduction scenes in which two reproduction scenes are fused or combined are synthesized by calculating the date sequence of each motion data described above. The scene reproduction time at this time is matched with the reproduction time of one of the two reproduction scenes. The conditions that can be fused are the first when the characters attacked by two competitive commands are the same, and the second when the character executing the competitive command first stored in the reservation buffer is the character attacked by the next competitive command. Third, when the character subject to the attack command stored in the first buffer is the character executing the next stored command. In the first condition, it is judged to be continuous action, and in the second or third condition, it is tidal action or counterattack action, respectively. The condition that can be combined is that the character executing the two competitive commands and the character under attack are all different.

As shown in FIG. 18, when the reproduction scenes of two competitive commands are combined, the display screen is divided into two and reproduced. On the left side of the screen, a reproduction scene 74 in which the opponent character of the enemy character plate 72 and the enemy character of the enemy character plate 73 are drawn is drawn on the left side of the screen, and the name of the competitive command is displayed on the title display 71. On the right side of the screen, a reproduction scene 74 'between which the player character of the player character plate 72' and the enemy character of the enemy character plate 73 'are played is drawn, and the name of the game command is displayed on the title display 71'. do.

In step 532 of Fig. 12, the reproduction scenes of the two competitive commands are merged or combined to synthesize one reproduction scene, the reservation order of the reservation buffer is changed, and the information of the convergence / combination is transmitted to the game server 56. As a result, since the reproduction scenes of the two competitive commands are simultaneously reproduced, subsequent reservation procedures are pulled out one by one. In the next step 534, the main body part of the play command reserved after the play command reproduced in step 516 is put into the play state, and the play processing subroutine ends, and the process proceeds to step 314 in FIG.

In the next step 536 of step 528, the reproduction of the cancelable part is instructed by the image processing unit 23, and drawn on the screen of the television monitor 4; Subsequently, in step 538, it is determined whether or not reproduction of the cancelable part has ended. If the judgment is negative, the reproduction processing subroutine ends, and the flow proceeds to step 314 of FIG. Cancelable Releases the part playback status. Subsequently, in step 542, the display of the entire screen is instructed by the image processing unit 23, drawn on the screen of the television monitor 4, the reproduction processing subroutine ends, and the flow proceeds to step 316 in FIG. Therefore, in step 528 to step 540, if there is a play command in the reserved state when the cancelable part is in the play state, the cancelable part is stopped and playback reproduction corresponding to the play command in the reserved state is performed.

If it is judged negative in step 502, it is determined whether or not the competitive command whose weight time has expired in the next step 544 has been stored in the reservation buffer in step 454. Such a determination can be made by referring to a flag. In the case of a negative determination, the flow advances to step 542. In the case of affirmative determination, the image processing unit 23 instructs the image processing unit 23 to make the reproduction part of the reproduction scene corresponding to the next command of the reservation order into the reproduction state and proceeds to step 542. Goes. The processing in step 542 described above is performed, and the reproduction processing subroutine ends, and the flow proceeds to step 314 in FIG. Therefore, in step 544 to step 546, when there is no playback mode in the playback state, the playback scene corresponding to the reserve command in the reservation state performs playback of the extended part.

In step 314 of FIG. 9, the player server transmits the increase or decrease of vitality or engagement value, the character status, the progress time of the weight time, the reservation buffer information, and the update information of the reproduction status of the playback scene to the game server 56. Receive the update information, end the combat processing subroutine and proceed to step 214 of FIG.

In step 214 of FIG. 7, it is determined whether the battle is over. It is determined that the battle is over when the player character dies or when an input to stop the game is made. In the case of a negative judgment, the process returns to step 208. In the case of affirmative judgment, the process proceeds to step 216. In step 216, when the player character dies, a new player character is selected, and when an input for stopping the game is made, the game data is transmitted to the game server 56 and stored, and the billing specification is received from the charging server 59. Then, the connection with the Internet 52 is disconnected to terminate the combat action control routine.

<Transmission and reception>

Next, the communication between the game server 56 and the game device 10 will be described. The server time managed by the game server 56 and the client time managed by the game device 10 cause a difference depending on the communication situation. The process in which the game server 56 receives three competitive commands respectively transmitted from the three game devices 10 and draws the reproduction scene in the game device 10 will be described.

As shown in Fig. 19, the game server 56 receives the competitive command and playback is executed in the game device 10 in the order in which the weight time ends. In addition, in FIG. 19, (W) represents an uncounted weight time, and (Cancellable (P)) represents an unplayable cancelable part, respectively.

The competitive command (1) received by the game server 56 ends the weight time at time b of the server time, and transmits a playback instruction to the game device 10 to the playback device. In game device 10, the playback of the playback scene corresponding to the competitive command (1) is actually started at time B of client time later than time b of server time. In this case, since no other reproduction scenes are reproduced, the reproduction parts are reproduced in the order of extension parts and main body parts. At the time a of the server time, during the weight time of the competitive command ((1)), the competitive command ((2)) having a small scene is received, and the playback instruction of the small scene is transmitted to the game device 10 to indicate the combo reception time. do. In the game device 10, the reproduction of the small scene is actually started at the time A of the client time later than the time a at the server time, and the combo reception starts at the time A. FIG. The game server 56 receives the combo by the combo helper from time a to time X when the combo reception time ends. Since the game device 10 is playing a small scene at time X, this time is not the time of the combo reception end, but the time Y at which playback of the small scene is finished is the time of the combo reception end. That is, in the game device 10, the time from the time A to the time Y of client time becomes a time which can be combo input. At time C of client time, the competitive command (3) is input and transmitted to the game server 56, but it is time c that the game server 56 receives. In server time, time c is later than time X, but in client time, time C is a combo input time, so the competitive command (3) is received by the game server 56 as a combo input. When the match command ((2)) and the match command ((3)) form a combo, the character that is the target of the match command ((2)) becomes the combo main and the character that is the target of the match command ((3)) Become a combo helper. At time D of the client time, reproduction of the main body part of the competitive command (1) is terminated, and thus the reproduction of the combo reproduction scene of the competitive command (2) and the competitive command (3) is started. At this time, the cancelable part of the charging command (1) is canceled without being reproduced. After the regeneration of the combo reproduction scene is completed, the cancelable part of the charging command (3) is omitted and the cancelable part of the charging command (2) is reproduced. If the combo does not hold, the main body part of the charging command ((2)), the main body part of the charging command ((3)), and the cancelable part after the completion of the regeneration of the main body part of the charging command ((1)) as described above. Are played in turn. Therefore, the timing of the start and end of the combo reception is managed on the server time, but the drawing of the television monitor 4 of the game device 10 is managed by the client time.

Next, a process of establishing a combo by the communication between the game device 10 and the game server 56 will be described with time.

As shown in Fig. 20, the game device 10 and the game server 56 in charge of the combo main, the combo helper 1, and the combo helper 2 execute the processing of the combo input while transmitting and receiving information. At time A, the competitive command of the combo main is input and transmitted to the game server 56. At time A ', the game server 56 transmits to each game apparatus 10 a small scene start instruction corresponding to the received competitive command. The playback of the small scene starts at time A "of the game device 10. In the game server 56, the time x is the end of the combo reception, but in each game device 10, the combo starts from the start of the small scene to the end. Since the reception time is reached, the combo reception end time is different between the game device 10 for the combo helper 1 and the game device 10 for the combo helper 2. The combo helper 1 inputted with the combo at time B. The game server 56 receives the competitive command of the game at time B 'and the combo establishment (the above-mentioned combo establishment condition is satisfied outside of time) is satisfied. However, the competition command entered at the time combo after the combo reception is completed. When the server receives the competitive command of the combo helper 2 input combo at time B, the time B 'has passed the combo reception end time x of the game server 56, but the game device 10 Since the input of is before the end of the combo This beam is formed.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 21, the game device 10 and the game server 56 execute the reproduction processing of the combo reproduction scene. At time B, the competitive command of the combo helper 1 is transmitted to the combo input game server 56. At time B ', the game server 56 transmits the combo establishment (the above-mentioned combo establishment conditions other than time are satisfied) of the received competitive command and the competitive command of the combo main. At time B "of the game device 10, the combo flag is turned on. The game device 10 in charge of the combo main reproduces the extended part of the match command when the weight time of the input match command ends. At C, playback of the extended part is finished, and the start of playback of the combo playback is transmitted to the game server 56. At time C ', the game server 56 transmits combo playback to each game device 10. Time C In the game device 10, the combo body part is played, and the combo flag is turned off after the playback ends. Since the competitive command of the combo helper 2 is not combo input, strictly speaking, the combo helper 2 is not a combo helper, but it is a character other than the target character of the combo, and it is in response to the playback instruction from the game server 56. By this, the same combo main body parts as the combo main and the combo helper 1 are reproduced.

As described above, in the game server 56 of the server client system 50 of the present embodiment, the two competitive commands received within the combo reception time correspond to the relevant data of the predetermined competitive command against the same enemy character. In this case, it is judged that the combo is established and an instruction for reproducing the reproduction of the combo is transmitted to the game device 10 (steps 152 to 158), so that the player operating the game device 10 executes two competitive commands, respectively. It is possible to have a sense of solidarity between players who manipulate their characters from seeing the same playing scene that the characters of the game cooperate to attack the enemy character. In addition, since the instruction for reproducing the small god of the competitive game command received (steps 108 to 114), it is possible to notify other players that the player is a good opportunity to attack by collaborating with the character, and at the same time the competitive command for the small god being played. Since the match command which can be combod is displayed as a "combo" which can be selected (step 116), since the combo becomes easy to establish, solidarity between players can be improved. In addition, when a competitive game command that satisfies the conditions of the combo is received after the combo is established, the player is required to regenerate the combo reproduced scene and the individual reproduced scene (step 160, step 164). Enjoy. Since one match command cancels one of the same match commands to prevent two identical match commands and combos (step 162), the character that is the target of the canceled match command can play the game from the point that another match command can be executed. You can proceed.

In addition, the game device 10 is configured to play back each playback scene when the playback instruction of the playback scene of the combo or the playback instruction corresponding to the individual competitive command is received from the game server 56 (steps 406 to 412). ) The player can enjoy a competitive game with a sense of solidarity from the reproduction of the combo or the reproduction game corresponding to the entered competitive command. When the weight time Tw determined for each competitive command ends, information on the competitive command is stored in the reservation buffer (steps 450 to 454), and playback is sequentially reproduced from the reservation buffer (steps 524 to 534 and step 544). Since the reservation information is updated (step 314) by communicating with the game server 56 at the same time as step 546, the player can see the playback scenes one by one and enjoy a sense of presence since the playback scenes are not played back in sequence. Can be. In addition, since the regeneration time of the regeneration scene of the combo is shorter than the regeneration time of the sum of the regeneration scenes corresponding to the individual competitive commands, the replay time can be shortened and a speedy competitive game can be played. In addition, since the data sequence of the reproduction scene of the combo is included as part of the data sequence of the reproduction scene corresponding to the individual competitive command, the input from the point that the reproduction scene of the combo includes a part of the reproduction scene corresponding to both of the original competitive commands is included. It is possible to confirm that the competitive command is executed and not to impair the interest in the competitive game. Also, when two competitive commands whose weight time expires satisfy a predetermined condition, the reconstructed scenes of the corresponding competitive command are fused or combined (step 530). It is possible to have a sense of solidarity with other players from the fact that the reproducing scene of and the reproducing scene of his / her character are played in parallel.

In the present embodiment, the server site 50 and the plurality of game devices 10 are connected to each other via the Internet 52. However, the plurality of game devices are directly connected by a relatively short cable or one game device is shown. A plurality of input devices may be connected to each other. As a result, the players share a time for playing the same game between relatively close places and neighbors, and thus, a stronger sense of solidarity can be obtained.

In the present embodiment, a game of competition between seven player characters controlled by seven players and seven enemy characters controlled by the game server 56 is exemplified. However, the player and player characters may be controlled between the players. good. As a result, the movement of the opponent's character is not automatically determined, and the taste of other players is reflected, so that a thrilling or realistic match can be enjoyed. In the present embodiment, when the same competitive command capable of another combo is received after the combo is established, the example of canceling the reception of the competitive command is shown. The more you increase, the more you can feel solidarity. In addition, in this embodiment, the case where the reproduction time of the reproduction scene of the combo is made shorter than the total reproduction time of the reproduction scenes corresponding to the individual charging commands is illustrated. However, the reproduction time of the reproduction scene of the combo may be increased. Thereby, since the state of attacking in cooperation with another character can be seen for a long time, a feeling of solidarity can be made enough.

In addition, in the present embodiment, an example is shown in which the playing scenes of two competitive commands whose weight time Tw has expired are fused and combined, but when the game server 56 receives the competitive command, determination of convergence or the like is made. Although an example in which fusion or the like is performed may be shown, the present invention does not need to simultaneously perform fusion or the like, that is, the plurality of reproduction scenes may be reproduced by shifting the time. At this time, the plurality of reproduction scenes may be shifted in time depending on the attack power of the action command, the weight time, or the like.

In addition, in this embodiment, although the predetermined weight time Tw was preset for every competitive command, the weight time Tw may be determined by arithmetic, and it may be fluctuate | varied by the life force of a character, etc. In FIG. This can be achieved by multiplying the weight time Tw by the coefficient according to the vitality possessed by the character when the competitive command is input. Thereby, it is possible to preferentially execute the competitive commands by the vitality or to express the difference of strength with other characters.

In this embodiment, the game program of the competitive game is recorded in the recording medium 1, but a person who enjoys the game downloads the game program to a hard disk built into his personal computer through the Internet or the like. Although it is also possible to think of an aspect in which a competitive game can be enjoyed independently or with another person who is remote, such a hard disk is included in the recording medium of the present invention.

As described above, according to the present invention, when the previous match command and the next match command satisfy certain conditions, a single drawing command for drawing the match motion of the character that is the object of the previous match command or the next match command. Can be transmitted to a plurality of client computers, so that the same competitive motion can be drawn to the plurality of client computers, so that a player who plays a competitive game on the plurality of client computers can have a sense of solidarity, and the previous competitive command is received as the predetermined condition. Allows the input of a later competitive command within a predetermined time from the time when the target is played, and the target character of the later competitive command having a predetermined relation with the previous competitive command targets the same character as the target character of the previous competitive command. Of the war command and later of war command Unlike individual combat motions, it is possible to improve the solidarity of the player by drawing a combat motion in which the same enemy character is played against the same enemy character.
