In related technologies, when a player controls the virtual character he controls to release a range release skill, it is generally triggered through a game joystick. During the control process, the player is required to move the range release skill to a location with more enemies, and then release the range release skill. Skills to cause damage to enemy avatars.

It can be seen that in the process of releasing existing range release skills, the player mainly moves the skill attack range to a suitable position and then releases it. However, the movement of the skill attack range often takes a certain amount of time, and during the control process, the player in order to avoid missing the range When releasing skills, there is often a problem that the release position of the skill attack range is far away from the expected release position, that is, there is a problem of low release efficiency of range release skills.

In view of this, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a game skill control method, which can improve range release. Skill release efficiency.

The game skill control method in one embodiment of the present disclosure can be run on a terminal device or a server. The terminal device may be a local terminal device.

Taking the keyboard as an example for illustration, the direction keys in the keyboard can include: left direction key, right direction key, up direction key, and down direction key; the default keys can include any key in the keyboard, which is not limited here; the mouse is used as the For example, the second trigger operation can be generated by clicking the left button of the mouse. Of course, the specific generation method is not limited to this.

Figure 9 is a schematic diagram of a game controller provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Optionally, the external control device may be a game controller. As shown in FIG. 9 , the game controller may include a joystick 51 . Of course, in some embodiments, it may also include a cross key 52 and a function key 53 , trigger button (not shown in the figure), etc., are not limited here. Optionally, the player can generate a second trigger operation based on any button in the game controller.

Figure 10 is a schematic flowchart of another game skill control method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Optionally, as shown in Figure 10, in response to the position switching operation for the first skill, determining a target position in the second position includes:

S601. In response to the position switching operation for the first skill, control the skill range identifier corresponding to the first skill to jump and display in the second position, and determine the target position.

The description of the position switching operation can be found in the above-mentioned relevant content, and will not be repeated here. For example, when the external control device is a joystick, the position switching operation for the first skill can be generated by pushing the handle rocker. Of course, the way the position switching operation is generated is not limited to this. In response to the position switching operation for the first skill, the skill range identifier corresponding to the first skill can be controlled to jump and display between multiple second positions. It is understandable that in this process, the corresponding skill range of the first skill is displayed by jumping. With the skill range mark, players can intuitively know the second position corresponding to each jump, making it easier for players to quickly determine the target position.

In some embodiments, if the second position corresponding to the current jump is consistent with or close to the player's expected position, optionally, a determination instruction for the current second position can be generated based on the terminal device or an external control device connected to the terminal device. , in response to the determination instruction, the current second position can be determined as the target position. Optionally, when the target position is determined, the skill range identifier corresponding to the first skill can be controlled to stop jumping and displayed at the target position, so that the player can quickly lock the target position through the skill range identifier corresponding to the first skill.

For example, with reference to the aforementioned Figure 8, if the second position corresponding to the first skill determined according to the aforementioned method includes M1, M2 and M3, and M1, M2 and M3 are respectively one of the projection positions N corresponding to the target virtual character a. The second distances between are X1, X2 and X3. Among them, X2 is greater than X1 and The corresponding projection position N is the farthest. In some embodiments, according to the distance between each second position and the projection position corresponding to the target virtual character, the skill range identifier corresponding to the first skill can be sequentially jumped and displayed in a manner from near to far.

For example, when switching to display the skill range identifier Q corresponding to the first skill in the game scene, you can first display the skill range identifier Q corresponding to the first skill at the second position M1, and after a preset frequency (for example, 0.5 seconds), Q can be switched to display at the second position M2, and after another preset frequency (for example, 0.5 seconds), Q can be switched to display at the second position M3. It can be seen that by applying the embodiments of the present disclosure, the display position of the skill range indicator corresponding to the first skill can be efficiently switched. Compared with related technologies, the switching efficiency of the range release skill can be effectively improved and the release of the range release skill by the player can be simplified. operation burden, and can also improve operation efficiency.

Optionally, continuing to refer to Figure 10, the above method further includes:

S602. In response to the position translation operation for the first skill, control the skill range identifier corresponding to the first skill to translate in the game scene starting from the target position.

Among them, the position translation operation for the first skill can be generated by a triggering method different from the position switching operation. For example, the positional translation operation of the first skill can be generated through the combined operation of the handle shoulder keys and the handle joystick. Of course, the specific generation method is not limited to this and can be different according to the actual application scenario.

It can be understood that, for the target position, if the skill range identifier corresponding to the first skill is displayed at the target position, in some embodiments, in response to the position translation operation of the first skill, the first skill can continue to be controlled. The corresponding skill range identifier starts from the target position and translates in the game scene. The translation can be up, down, left, right, etc., and is not limited here; during the translation process, if the current translation is determined If the position matches the player's expected position, then the translated position can be determined as the new target position.

It is worth noting that the present disclosure does not limit the distance of each translation. Alternatively, the translation distance may be related to the trigger duration of the position translation operation and the unit displacement distance, where the longer the trigger duration of the position translation operation, the The skill range indicator corresponding to the first skill will move farther in the game scene, otherwise, it will be closer.

In some embodiments, it can be seen from the above step S601 that in actual application process, step S601 can be used to The target position is determined in the step S602 to realize the preliminary selection of the target position. Combined with the step S602, the fine-tuning of the target position can be further realized and the applicability of the disclosed method is improved.

For example, if the terminal device is connected to an external control device, and the external control device is a game controller, in some embodiments, a position switching operation for the first skill can be generated by pushing the joystick of the controller, and in response to the position Switching operation can quickly perform jump switching among multiple second positions to determine the target position; based on the determined target position, when the handle shoulder button is continuously pressed, a pair of pairs can be generated by pushing the handle rocker. In response to the position translation operation of the first skill, the skill range identifier corresponding to the first skill can be controlled to translate from the target position in the game scene, and a new target position is determined through translation.

It is worth noting that the above-mentioned jump switching and panning switching methods can be flexibly switched. Based on the above example to continue the explanation, optionally, during the panning switching process, if the continuous pressing operation on the handle shoulder button is cancelled, the switch will return to Jump switching logic, that is, by pushing the handle rocker to generate a position switching operation for the first skill, in response to the position switching operation, jump switching can be quickly performed among multiple second positions to determine the target position.

Optionally, the above-mentioned second positions include multiple second positions, and each second position is distinctively identified in the game scene.

In some embodiments, each second position can be differentiated in the game scene by color, pattern, etc., so that players can quickly identify each second position, and then when determining the target position, they can identify the multiple second positions. Quickly confirm.

In addition, it should be noted that, taking the skill range identification corresponding to the first skill as an example, the present disclosure does not limit the display method of the skill range identification corresponding to the first skill. According to the actual application scenario, the display method can be displayed through patterns. , colors, special effects and other combinations for display. Or, it can be visually displayed based on the specific function of the first skill to improve the player's gaming experience.
