Detailed ways

First, a brief introduction is given to the terms involved in the embodiments of the present application.

Virtual object: refers to a virtual character that can be moved in a virtual scene. The movable object is a virtual person, a virtual animal, a cartoon character, etc. The virtual object is a virtual image in the virtual scene that is used to represent the user. The virtual scene includes multiple virtual objects, each of which has its own shape and volume in the virtual scene and occupies a part of the space in the virtual scene. Optionally, the virtual object is a character controlled by operation on the client, or an artificial intelligence (AI) set in a virtual environment through training, or a non-player character (NPC) set in a virtual scene. Optionally, the virtual object is a virtual character competing in a virtual scene. Optionally, the number of virtual objects in the virtual scene is preset, or is dynamically determined according to the number of clients joining the virtual scene, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

Virtual props: refers to props that can be used by virtual objects in virtual scenes. Taking shooting games as an example, shooting games are provided with throwing props, virtual launchers, virtual projectiles and other shooting props, wherein the virtual projectile is the object fired by the virtual launcher when performing a firing operation, and throwing props and shooting props can cause damage to the virtual objects that are hit. Skill props such as virtual chips are also provided, which can grant the equipped virtual objects corresponding operating permissions. Virtual props can also assist virtual objects in achieving certain purposes. For example, virtual smoke bombs can assist virtual objects in concealing their bodies. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application do not limit the types of virtual props.

Tactical competitive game: refers to a game in which at least two virtual objects compete in a single-game battle mode in a virtual environment. Virtual objects survive in the virtual environment by avoiding attacks launched by other virtual objects and dangers in the virtual environment (such as poison gas circles, swamps, etc.). When the life value of the virtual object in the virtual environment is zero, the life of the virtual object in the virtual environment ends, and the virtual object that survives the virtual environment at last is the winner. Optionally, the battle starts at the moment when the first client joins the battle and ends at the moment when the last client exits the battle. Each client can control one or more virtual objects in the virtual environment. Optionally, the competitive mode of the battle can include a single-player battle mode, a two-player team battle mode, or a multiplayer group battle mode. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the battle mode.

Virtual object group: refers to a group created by players controlling virtual objects in a virtual environment, also known as a virtual legion. The group includes at least one member virtual object. The member virtual object that created the group is the leader of the group, responsible for managing the affairs of the group or organizing the group to fight against other groups in the virtual environment. Legion tasks are set in the game, which require the collaboration of the member virtual objects in the virtual legion. When the legion tasks are completed, the virtual legion will receive a legion reward, and each member virtual object in the virtual legion will also receive a reward. The legion recruits more members by upgrading its level and further expands its size.

In applications that support virtual scenes, such as tactical competitive games, players can not only control a single virtual object (i.e., a virtual character) to fight, but also control multiple virtual objects to fight at the same time. In related technologies, players can control virtual object groups to form different formations to move in virtual scenes or fight with other virtual objects. However, this method of controlling virtual object groups is relatively simple, and the human-computer interaction efficiency is low.

The control method of virtual objects in a virtual scene provided by the embodiment of the present application can display a virtual object group in the virtual scene, and the virtual object group includes multiple virtual object groups; by receiving a battle control operation on the virtual object group, the multiple virtual object groups in the virtual object group are controlled to fight in a target formation and in their respective corresponding virtual battle modes, and the corresponding attack animation of attacking the hostile virtual object is displayed. The control method of the virtual object group in the virtual scene obtained by the embodiment of the present application can be applied to a variety of game scenes such as mobile game scenes and terminal game scenes, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

The application 122 is an application that supports a virtual environment. Optionally, the application 122 is an application that supports a three-dimensional virtual environment. The application 122 can be any one of a virtual reality application, a three-dimensional map program, an auto chess game, a puzzle game, a third-person shooting game (TPS), a first-person shooting game (FPS), a multiplayer online tactical competitive game (MOBA), and a multiplayer gunfight survival game. The application 122 can be a stand-alone application, such as a stand-alone three-dimensional game program, or a network-connected application.

Secondly, the implementation environment involved in the embodiments of the present application is explained. For schematic illustration, please refer to Figure 2. The implementation environment involves a terminal 210, a server 220 and a communication network 230, wherein the terminal 210 and the server 220 are connected via the communication network 230.

After the terminal 210 receives the battle control operation on the virtual object group, the control instruction corresponding to the control operation and the display information of the current virtual object group (for example: the number and type of multiple virtual object groups therein) are sent to the server 220. After receiving the control instruction and the display information, the server 220 controls the multiple virtual object groups in the virtual object group to cooperate in the target formation and their respective corresponding virtual battle methods according to the control instruction and the display information, thereby attacking the hostile virtual object; and feeds back the attack animation of the attack on the hostile virtual object to the terminal 210, which displays the attack animation.

Among them, cloud technology refers to a hosting technology that unifies a series of resources such as hardware, applications, and networks within a wide area network or local area network to achieve data computing, storage, processing, and sharing.

In some optional embodiments, the above-mentioned server can also be implemented as a node in a blockchain system.

It should be noted that before collecting relevant data of users and during the process of collecting relevant data of users, this application can display a prompt interface, pop-up window or output voice prompt information, and the prompt interface, pop-up window or voice prompt information is used to prompt the user that its relevant data is currently being collected, so that this application only starts to execute the relevant steps of obtaining relevant data of users after obtaining the confirmation operation issued by the user to the prompt interface or pop-up window, otherwise (that is, when the confirmation operation issued by the user to the prompt interface or pop-up window is not obtained), the relevant steps of obtaining relevant data of users are terminated, that is, the relevant data of users are not obtained. In other words, all user data collected by this application are collected with the consent and authorization of the user, and the collection, use and processing of relevant user data need to comply with the relevant laws, regulations and standards of relevant countries and regions.

In combination with the above introduction and implementation environment, the control method of the virtual object group in the virtual scene provided in the embodiment of the present application is described. Please refer to FIG3, which shows a flow chart of the control method of the virtual object group in the virtual scene provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method is applied to the terminal shown in FIG2 as an example for description. As shown in FIG3, the method includes:

Step 301: Display a group of virtual objects in a virtual scene.

The virtual object group includes a plurality of virtual object groups, wherein a virtual object group is an object group composed of a plurality of member virtual objects of the same type, and virtual objects of different virtual object types have different corresponding virtual combat modes in the virtual scene.

The virtual scene refers to a virtual scene displayed (or provided) when an application (e.g., a tactical competitive application) is running on a terminal. The virtual scene is a semi-simulated and semi-fictitious virtual environment, or a purely fictitious virtual environment. The virtual scene is any one of a two-dimensional virtual scene, a 2.5-dimensional virtual scene, or a three-dimensional virtual scene, and this application does not limit this.

Optionally, the virtual object type is used to indicate the type of the member virtual object. Schematically, a virtual object group includes member virtual objects of the same type, and the virtual object type is determined according to the type of the member virtual object. For example: if the virtual object group is implemented as a virtual sword and card soldier object group, the member virtual objects therein are virtual sword and card soldier objects; or, if the virtual object group is implemented as a virtual long sword hand object group, the member virtual objects therein are virtual long sword hand objects; or, if the virtual object group is implemented as a virtual hound object group, the member virtual objects therein are virtual hound objects, etc. The above are only illustrative examples, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

Optionally, the virtual object group is an object group composed of a plurality of virtual object groups of different types. Schematically, a virtual object group may include a virtual sword and shield soldier object group, a virtual long swordsman object group and a virtual long spearman object group.

Optionally, the virtual combat mode of the virtual object refers to the mode in which the virtual object causes damage to the hostile virtual object, and the virtual combat mode is composed of the props equipped by the virtual object and the skills of the virtual object. Schematically, if the virtual object is implemented as a virtual infantry object equipped with a virtual knife and a virtual shield, the virtual knife causes damage to the hostile virtual object within a certain distance range through actions such as slashing when charging, and the virtual shield is used to resist the damage to itself by the hostile virtual object. At the same time, the virtual infantry object itself has passive triggering skills, for example: when the health value is lower than the threshold, the damage value of the virtual knife to the hostile virtual object will increase; or when the casualty rate of the member virtual objects in the virtual object group is higher than a preset percentage, the damage value of the virtual knife to the hostile virtual object will increase.

Optionally, the display mode of the virtual object group includes at least one of the following situations:

1. Select a virtual object group from multiple candidate virtual object groups.

Optionally, a selection configuration interface is displayed, the selection configuration interface including a plurality of candidate virtual object groups; in response to receiving a selection operation on a virtual object group in the candidate virtual object group, the virtual object group in the virtual scene is displayed.

Illustratively, in the game, before the start of a game or during the game (for example, when all initially selected virtual object groups are eliminated and players need to reselect virtual object groups to fight), a selection interface for virtual object groups is displayed in the game interface. The selection interface includes multiple candidate virtual object groups for players to select. The player can select one of the candidate virtual object groups as the target virtual object group, that is, the virtual object group in the virtual scene.

2. Combining at least two virtual object groups from a plurality of candidate virtual object groups to obtain a virtual object group.

Optionally, a combination configuration interface is displayed, the combination configuration interface including a plurality of candidate virtual object groups; in response to receiving a selection operation on at least two virtual object groups among the plurality of candidate virtual object groups, a virtual object group in a virtual scene is displayed.

Illustratively, in the game, before the game starts or during the game, a combination configuration interface of a virtual object group is displayed in the game interface, and the combination configuration interface includes multiple candidate virtual object groups for players to select. The player can select at least two of the candidate virtual object groups to combine into a target virtual object group, that is, a virtual object group in a virtual scene.

Optionally, the candidate virtual object group corresponds to a combination configuration permission and a combination configuration range, the combination configuration permission is used to indicate that the candidate virtual object group can be combined (that is, it can form a virtual object group with other candidate virtual object groups, and the candidate virtual object group without the combination configuration permission cannot form a virtual object group), and the combination configuration range is used to indicate other specified candidate virtual object groups that can be combined with the candidate virtual object group to form a virtual object group; schematically, the combination configuration interface includes: virtual object group 1, virtual object group 2, virtual object group 3, virtual object group 4, when virtual object group 1 is selected, if virtual object group 1 has the combination configuration permission, then the corresponding virtual object groups that can be combined can be displayed as virtual object group 2 and virtual object group 3, and the remaining virtual object group 4 cannot be combined with virtual object group 1.

Optionally, in the combination configuration interface, the number of member virtual objects in the selected virtual object group may also be configured.

3. The first virtual object group controlled by the current terminal and the second virtual object group controlled by other terminals are combined to obtain a virtual object group .

Optionally, the first virtual object group and the second virtual object group are of different types.

Optionally, a virtual object group combination request is received, the virtual object group combination request being used to request that a first virtual object group controlled by a current terminal be combined with a second virtual object group controlled by other terminals to obtain a virtual object group; in response to receiving a combination indication, the virtual object group in the virtual scene is displayed, wherein the combination indication is used to indicate that other terminals agree to the above virtual object group combination request.

Illustratively, during the course of a target match, if the main virtual object controlled by the player (i.e., the virtual character representing the player) is eliminated or the number of virtual object groups controlled by the player is less than a threshold, resulting in the inability to form a target formation, a combination request can be initiated to teammates, that is, a request to combine the virtual object groups controlled by teammates into a virtual object group. If other players agree to the request, a virtual object group will be formed and displayed in the virtual scene.

Step 302: receiving a battle control operation on a group of virtual objects.

The battle control operation is used to instruct and control multiple virtual object groups in the virtual object group to cooperate in combat in a target formation, and the target formation is used to indicate the arrangement positions of the multiple virtual object groups in the virtual object group.

Optionally, the target formation is determined in one of the following ways:

Method 1: Determine the target formation by receiving the formation configuration operation.

Optionally, a formation configuration operation is received, where the formation configuration operation is used to configure arrangement positions of multiple virtual object groups in the virtual object group to obtain a target formation.

The formation configuration operation may be performed outside the virtual game or within the virtual game.

Illustratively, before starting a target game, the player can combine multiple virtual object groups on the formation configuration interface to obtain a target formation. When the player enters the target game, the virtual object group is displayed on the game interface in the target formation; alternatively, the formation configuration interface displays candidate formations recommended by the system, and the player can select the candidate formation to determine the target formation.

Alternatively, when the player enters the target game, the virtual object group will be displayed in the game interface in a default formation or a pre-configured target formation, and the player can switch the target formation according to the real-time battle situation of the target game. The switching operation can be implemented as at least one of the following situations:

(1) At least two formation icons recommended by the system are displayed in the target game interface, and the formation of the virtual object group is switched by receiving a selection operation of a target switching icon among the at least two formation icons.

Schematically, the virtual object group is composed of a virtual sword and shield soldier object group, a virtual long sword soldier object group, and a virtual spear soldier object group. The formations recommended by the virtual object group system include a three-section formation and a wedge formation.

Schematically, please refer to FIG. 4, which shows a schematic diagram of the interface when the virtual object group is arranged in a three-stage array. In the interface 400, the virtual object group is arranged in a rectangular shape, and the first row is a virtual sword and card soldier object group, the second row is a virtual long sword hand object group, and the third row is a virtual long spear hand object group. Optionally, in the three-stage array, the three rows of virtual object groups can attack the enemy virtual object at the same time, and because of the different virtual props equipped by each, different attack effects can be brought about. For example, the virtual sword and card soldier object of the team member can use a virtual shield to make the hostile virtual object unbalanced, the virtual long sword hand object of the team member can use a virtual long sword to attack multiple hostile virtual objects, and the virtual long spear hand object of the team member can make the hit hostile virtual object suffer more damage from the virtual object group.

Schematically, please refer to FIG. 5 , which shows a schematic diagram of the interface when the virtual object group is arranged in a wedge formation. In the interface 500, the virtual object group is arranged in a triangle, and there are virtual spearman object groups at the vertices and both sides of the triangle facing the hostile virtual object 501. Optionally, when the virtual object group is controlled to attack the hostile virtual object, the formation allows the virtual spearman objects of the group members to preferentially attack more hostile virtual objects. Since the virtual spearman objects can make the hit hostile virtual objects receive more damage from the virtual object group, other virtual object groups obtain higher output.

Optionally, icons corresponding to the three-segment array and the wedge array are displayed on the interface of the game match, and corresponding array arrangement diagrams are displayed on the icons. In the game match, if the current array of the virtual object group is a three-segment array, the icon corresponding to the three-segment array can be highlighted; if the array of the virtual object group needs to be switched to a wedge array, the operation of switching the array of the virtual object group to the wedge array can be triggered by receiving a click operation on the wedge array icon; or, the operation of switching the array of the virtual object group to the wedge array can be triggered by receiving a click operation on a fixed key (for example, F2 on the keyboard).

Optionally, during the course of a game, the formation recommended by the system may change according to the number and types of virtual objects in the virtual object group. For example, when the number of virtual objects in the virtual object group is less than 3, the wedge formation cannot be triggered; when the types of virtual objects in the virtual object group are less than 3, the three-section formation cannot be triggered.

(2) The target game interface can display the real-time formation of the virtual object group, and switch the formation of the virtual object group by receiving the arrangement and combination operations of multiple virtual object groups in the virtual object group.

Illustratively, a real-time formation interface is displayed on the target game interface, on which icons are used to display the arrangement positions and quantities of multiple virtual object groups in the virtual object group. Optionally, the types of the multiple virtual object groups are distinguished by color or shape (for example, a virtual sword and shield soldier object group can be represented by a virtual shield icon, and a virtual spearman object group can be represented by a virtual spear icon).

The formation of the virtual object group can be switched by receiving a move operation on the icon in the real-time formation interface. When moving icons, it can be the movement of a single icon or the movement of a group of icons (that is, a group of icons corresponding to multiple member virtual objects of the same type); or, a formation diagram is drawn in the real-time formation interface, and the formation of the virtual object group can be switched by filling icons into the drawn formation diagram. Optionally, the drawing area is filled with icons of the same color as the drawing area; for example: a triangle is drawn with colored lines, where both sides of the triangle are red, then the red icons corresponding to the virtual spearman object are automatically filled on both sides of the triangle, and the remaining side of the triangle is green, then the green icon corresponding to the virtual sword and shield soldier object is automatically filled on that side, and the interior of the triangle is blue, then the blue icon corresponding to the virtual swordman object is filled inside.

(3) Switching the formation of the virtual object group by receiving specified voice or gesture commands on the target page.

Illustratively, the virtual object group corresponds to a formation switching voice command or a formation switching gesture command, and the operation of switching the formation of the virtual object group to a wedge formation is triggered by receiving a voice command operation (for example: the voice "switch to a wedge formation"); or, the operation of switching the formation of the virtual object group to a wedge formation is triggered by capturing the player's waving action through a camera.

Method 2: Arrange multiple virtual object groups based on the matching of multiple virtual object groups in the virtual object group to obtain To the target formation.

Optionally, the method of obtaining the target formation based on the matching situation includes at least one of the following situations:

(1) Arranging the plurality of virtual object groups based on the types of the plurality of virtual object groups in the virtual object group to obtain a target formation.

Illustratively, the virtual object group includes a first virtual object group and a second virtual object group, wherein the first virtual object group and the second virtual object group are of different types. In different types of virtual object groups, the virtual props equipped by the member virtual objects and the skills they possess are different, that is, the multiple virtual object groups can be arranged according to the virtual props equipped by the member virtual objects and the skills they possess to obtain a target formation.

If the types of multiple member virtual objects in the first virtual object group are virtual cavalry objects, schematically, please refer to Figure 6, then the virtual cavalry object group 601 is arranged in the front row of the second virtual object group 602, that is, facing the position of the hostile virtual object 603; if the types of multiple member virtual objects in the first virtual object group are virtual spearman objects, as shown in Figure 6, the virtual spearman object group 604 is arranged on both sides of the second virtual object group 602, that is, on the left and right sides of the second virtual object group 602 that is not facing the hostile virtual object 603; if the types of multiple member virtual objects in the first virtual object group are virtual crossbowman objects, as shown in Figure 6, the virtual crossbowman object group 605 is arranged behind the second virtual object group 602, that is, behind the second virtual object group 602 that is not facing the hostile virtual object 603.

(2) Arranging the multiple virtual object groups based on the number of the multiple virtual object groups in the virtual object group to obtain a target formation.

Optionally, based on the number of member virtual objects corresponding to the multiple virtual object groups in the virtual object group, a wedge array of member virtual objects corresponding to the multiple virtual object groups is displayed in the virtual scene in a wedge-shaped arrangement; or, based on the number of member virtual objects corresponding to the multiple virtual object groups in the virtual object group, a formation of member virtual objects corresponding to the multiple virtual object groups is displayed in cooperation with a main control virtual object, for example, a circular array surrounding the main control virtual object in a fully surrounded or semi-enclosed arrangement, the main control virtual object being a virtual object independently configured in the main control object configuration interface.

In schematic form, if the difference between the number of team member virtual spearman objects and the total number of other types of team member virtual objects in the virtual object group is greater than a threshold, a wedge formation mainly for attack can be formed; if the difference between the number of team member virtual sword and shield soldier objects and the total number of other types of team member virtual objects in the virtual object group is greater than a threshold, a ring formation mainly for defense can be formed, that is, the team member virtual sword and shield soldier objects surround the main control virtual object in a full or semi-encirclement arrangement.

Method 3: Automatically determine the target formation based on the attribute value of the master virtual object.

Optionally, the target formation is automatically determined according to the health value of the master virtual object. Schematically, when the health value of the master virtual object is less than 5 (the initial health value is 100), a formation to protect the master virtual object can be automatically formed.

Method 4: Determine the target formation based on the terrain in the virtual scene.

Illustratively, in a game match, if it is necessary to control a group of virtual objects to move through a relatively narrow alley, the group of virtual objects is controlled to form a target formation with two member virtual objects in a row.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned method for determining the target formation is only an illustrative example and is not limited to this in the embodiments of the present application.

Optionally, the battle control operation may be implemented as at least one of the following situations:

1. Battle control operations can be implemented as attack instructions to hostile virtual objects.

Optionally, an attack instruction to a hostile virtual object is triggered by receiving a click operation on a designated key on a keyboard (for example, the V key); or, an attack instruction to a hostile virtual object is triggered by receiving a trigger operation on an attack control on a target game interface; or, an attack instruction to a hostile virtual object is triggered by receiving a voice/gesture instruction.

2. The battle control operation can be implemented as a retreat command to a group of virtual objects.

Optionally, a retreat instruction to a hostile virtual object is triggered by receiving a click operation on a designated key on a keyboard; or, a retreat instruction to a hostile virtual object is triggered by receiving a trigger operation on a retreat control on a target game interface; or, a retreat instruction to a hostile virtual object is triggered by receiving a voice/gesture instruction.

3. The battle control operation can be realized as the triggering operation of the skills corresponding to the virtual object group.

Schematically, icons of skills that can be used by the virtual object group are displayed on the target game interface. When the player triggers the icon (for example, clicks the icon), the virtual object group is triggered to use the skill corresponding to the icon.

Alternatively, when the preset conditions are met, the skills possessed by the virtual object group will be automatically triggered. For example, when the distance between the virtual long-sword hand object of a member in the virtual object group and the hostile virtual object is less than the distance threshold, the attack speed of the virtual long-sword hand object of the member and the damage value to the hostile virtual object will be increased.

4. The battle control operation can be realized by switching the props equipped by multiple team members' virtual objects.

Schematically, the virtual object group includes a virtual cavalry object group and a virtual infantry object group. The virtual infantry object group is currently equipped with a virtual shield, and the virtual infantry object group is arranged in front of the virtual cavalry object group facing the hostile virtual object. When a switching operation is received on the props equipped by the virtual infantry object group, for example, switching the virtual shield to a virtual bow and arrow, the arrangement position of the virtual infantry object group is changed, that is, the virtual infantry object group is arranged behind the virtual cavalry object group, so that the virtual cavalry object group faces the hostile virtual object.

The above examples of battle control operations are only for illustrative purposes, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. Optionally, different battle control operations correspond to different target formations. Schematically, when an attack command to a hostile virtual object is received, a virtual sword and card soldier object group, a virtual long sword hand object group, and a virtual long spear hand object group are controlled in a wedge formation to attack the hostile virtual object; when a retreat command to a hostile virtual object is received, a virtual sword and card soldier object group, a virtual long sword hand object group, and a virtual long spear hand object group are controlled in a circular formation to move away from the hostile virtual object.

Step 303 , in response to the battle control operation, displaying attack animations of multiple member virtual objects in multiple virtual object groups attacking hostile virtual objects in target formations and in respective corresponding virtual battle modes.

Optionally, the hostile virtual object is used to indicate a virtual object that is in a different camp from the multiple member virtual objects. In the virtual scene, the camps corresponding to the multiple member virtual objects fight against the camp corresponding to the hostile virtual object.

Optionally, different target formations and different virtual combat modes may produce different attack effects. For example, the virtual object group includes a first virtual object group and a second virtual object group. The generated attack effects include at least one of the following situations:

1. In the target formation, the arrangement position and virtual combat mode of the first virtual object group can increase the attribute value of the second virtual object group.

Optionally, the above-mentioned attribute value includes at least one of a movement speed, an attack value, a defense value, etc. of a member virtual object in the first virtual object group, and this embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.

Illustratively, a combination of a virtual cavalry object group and a virtual infantry object group equipped with virtual horses can increase the movement speed of the member virtual infantry objects; or, the movement speeds of the member virtual cavalry objects and the member virtual infantry objects can be increased simultaneously.

Illustratively, a combination of a group of virtual sword and shield soldiers and a group of virtual infantry objects equipped with virtual shields can increase the defense value of the group members' virtual infantry objects; or, improve the health value of the group members' virtual infantry objects.

Indicatively, a virtual sword and shield soldier object group equipped with a virtual shield and a virtual spearman object group can increase the attack range and attack value of the member virtual spearman object against the hostile virtual object. During combat, a single attack can cause 100 points of damage to hostile virtual objects within a range of 3 meters. When fighting in cooperation with the virtual sword and shield soldiers of the team members, a single attack can cause 130 points of damage to hostile virtual objects within a range of 4 meters.

Optionally, the increase range of the above-mentioned attribute value is different according to the level of the first virtual object group or the second virtual object group. Optionally, the increase range of the attribute value is only associated with the level of the first virtual object group, and the higher the level of the first virtual object group, the higher the increase range of the attribute value of the second virtual object group; the increase range of the attribute value is only associated with the level of the second virtual object group, and the higher the level of the second virtual object group, the higher the increase range of the attribute value of the second virtual object group; the increase range of the attribute value is associated with the level of the first virtual object group and the second virtual object group, and optionally, the increase range of the attribute value of the second virtual object group is determined based on the weighted summation result of the first virtual object group level and the second virtual object group level, and the higher the value of the weighted summation result, the higher the increase range of the attribute value of the second virtual object group.

2. In the target formation, the arrangement position and virtual combat method of the first virtual object group can reduce the attack effect of the hostile virtual objects on the second virtual object group.

The attack effect of the hostile virtual object on the second virtual object group refers to the attack range or attack value of the hostile virtual object on the second virtual object group.

Schematically, a virtual crossbow object group and a virtual cavalry object group equipped with virtual crossbows are combined. The member virtual crossbow objects can shoot at hostile virtual objects through virtual crossbows, thereby suppressing the attacks of the hostile virtual objects and the second virtual object group, that is, reducing the attack range and attack value of the second virtual object group.

3. In the target formation, in response to the first virtual object group hitting the hostile virtual object in the first combat mode, the second combat mode of the second virtual object group is enhanced.

Among them, gain refers to increasing the attribute value of the virtual props corresponding to the second combat mode (including attack value, defense value, movement speed, attack speed, etc.); or increasing the skill attribute value corresponding to the virtual objects of the members in the second virtual object group; or adding additional skills to the virtual objects of the members in the second virtual object group.

Schematically, taking the increase of skill attribute values as an example, the first virtual object group can be implemented as a virtual hunter object group, and the second virtual object group can be implemented as a virtual hound object group; after the team member hunter object equipped with a virtual bow and arrow shoots the target hostile virtual object, if the target virtual object has not been eliminated, the attack of the team member hound object against the target hostile virtual object can be added, that is, when the team member hound object hits the target hostile virtual object, it will cause high damage to the target hostile virtual object, for example: the team member hound object can cause 10 points of damage when hit alone, and can cause 30 points of damage when hit after the team member hunter object shoots it.

4. In the target formation, in response to the first virtual object group hitting the hostile virtual object in the first combat mode, debuffing the attack mode of the hostile virtual object.

Among them, debuff refers to reducing the attribute value of the virtual props corresponding to the hostile virtual object (including attack value, defense value, movement speed, attack speed, etc.); or reducing the skill attribute value corresponding to the hostile virtual object.

5. In the target formation, based on the elimination rate of the first virtual object group, the second combat mode of the second virtual object group is enhanced.

In an illustrative example, the first virtual object group is implemented as a virtual knight object group, and the second virtual object group is implemented as a virtual squire object group. When the elimination rate of the virtual knight objects of the virtual knight object group is higher than a threshold, the attack range and single attack duration of the virtual squire object group on the hostile virtual object can be increased. That is, when the elimination rate of the virtual knight objects of the virtual knight object group reaches a threshold, the attack intensity of the virtual squire object group on the hostile virtual object will be increased.

Optionally, different elimination rates correspond to different increase ranges. Schematically, the higher the elimination rate, the longer the attack range of the virtual servant object group on the hostile virtual object and the longer the duration of a single attack.

6. In response to the first virtual object group and the second virtual object group being arranged in a target formation, increasing a combat skill of the first virtual object group and the second virtual object group.

That is, when the first virtual object group and the second virtual object group form different formations, the first virtual object group and the second virtual object group will generate different combination skills, which are neither original skills of the first virtual object group nor original skills of the second virtual object group.

It should be noted that the above examples of attack effects are only illustrative examples, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. Moreover, the above only illustrates the effect of the first virtual object group on the second virtual object group. Obviously, the second virtual object group can also have the same effect on the first virtual object group; and when the number of virtual object groups in the virtual object group is greater than 2, these virtual object groups will also produce the attack effects described above. For example, in a three-stage formation, the virtual sword and shield soldier object group will simultaneously increase the defense value of the virtual long sword hand object group and the virtual long spear hand object group.

Optionally, the attack animation is an animation displayed according to the attack effect. Schematically, when the bow and arrow of the team member hunter object hits the hostile virtual object, the animation of the bow and arrow hitting the hostile virtual object will be displayed, and identification information will be displayed on the hit hostile virtual object, and the identification information is used to indicate that the hostile virtual object is in a hit state; optionally, the team member hound object will give priority to attacking the hostile virtual object with the identification information.

Optionally, when a battle control operation is received, multiple virtual object groups in the virtual object group may simultaneously attack the hostile virtual object in their respective corresponding virtual battle modes.

Alternatively, multiple virtual objects in the virtual object group attack the hostile virtual object in their respective corresponding virtual combat modes at preset time intervals. In an exemplary embodiment, the virtual object group includes a virtual cavalry object group and a virtual infantry object group. When a combat control operation is received, the virtual cavalry object group in the virtual object group first attacks the hostile virtual object. After 3 seconds, the virtual infantry object group in the virtual object group attacks the hostile virtual object.

Optionally, the virtual scene also displays a master virtual object corresponding to the virtual object group. The master virtual object is a virtual object independently configured in the master object configuration interface. The master virtual object is a virtual object used to represent the player's character. Schematically, there is a master object configuration interface in the game, and the master object configuration interface is used to independently configure the master virtual object controlled by the player. For example, the player switches the dress-up costumes, virtual props, virtual mounts, etc. of the master virtual object in the master object configuration interface.

The player can then manipulate the main virtual object and the virtual object group separately, that is, when a first control operation is received on the main virtual object, the main virtual object is displayed to execute a first action animation corresponding to the first control operation; when a second control operation is received on the virtual object group, the virtual object group is displayed to execute a second action in cooperation with the main virtual object.

Illustratively, the first control operation is used to indicate an operation method of controlling the master virtual object to perform a corresponding action in the virtual scene.

For example: the first control operation is used to control the master virtual object to perform an attack in the virtual scene, then based on the first control operation, the master virtual object is controlled to attack in the virtual scene; or, the first control operation is used to control the master virtual object to run in the virtual scene, then based on the first control operation, the master virtual object is controlled to run in the virtual scene; or, the first control operation is used to control the master virtual object to crawl forward in the virtual scene, then based on the first control operation, the master virtual object is controlled to crawl forward in the virtual scene, etc.

Based on the received first control operation on the master virtual object, a first action animation corresponding to the first control operation performed by the master virtual object in the virtual scene is displayed.

The first action animation is used to display the action form corresponding to the first control operation.

For example: the first control operation is used to control the master virtual object to perform an attack action in the virtual scene, then the first action animation corresponding to the first control operation is implemented as an attack animation; or, the first control operation is used to control the master virtual object to run in the virtual scene, then the first action animation corresponding to the first control operation is implemented as a running animation; or, the first control operation is used to control the master virtual object to crawl in the virtual scene, then the first action animation corresponding to the first control operation is implemented as a crawling animation, etc.

Illustratively, the second control operation is used to indicate an operation method of controlling the virtual object group to cooperate with the main control virtual object to perform actions in the virtual scene.

In an optional embodiment, in response to receiving a second control operation for a designated virtual object group, member virtual objects in the designated virtual object group are controlled to enter a target coordination mode.

Optionally, after the main control virtual object and the member virtual objects in the specified virtual object group are displayed in the virtual scene, the player can select the cooperation mode of the specified virtual object group, thereby selecting and controlling the virtual battle state of the specified virtual object group.

In an optional embodiment, in response to receiving a trigger operation on a matching mode selection control, a target matching mode is determined.

Schematically, a plurality of cooperation mode selection controls are displayed in the virtual scene, and different cooperation mode selection controls correspond to different cooperation modes. Based on the player's triggering operation on the cooperation mode selection control, the target cooperation mode for the virtual objects of the members in the specified object group to conduct virtual battles is determined.

Among them, the target cooperation mode is used to instruct the team member virtual objects to cooperate with the main control virtual object in the virtual battle.

Illustratively, after the target coordination mode is determined, the team member virtual objects move, attack, and the like in the virtual scene based on the target coordination mode, thereby cooperating with the main control virtual object to perform a virtual battle in the virtual scene.

For example: if the target coordination mode is the follow mode, then after the target coordination mode is determined, the member virtual objects in the specified virtual object group follow the main control virtual object in the virtual scene; or, if the target coordination mode is the hold mode, then after the target coordination mode is determined, the member virtual objects in the specified virtual object group hold at the specified position in the virtual scene.

In an optional embodiment, in response to receiving a cooperation mode switching operation, member virtual objects in a designated virtual object group are controlled to switch to a target cooperation mode.

Illustratively, under the condition that the member virtual objects in the specified virtual object group are in a coordination mode, after receiving a coordination mode switching operation, the member virtual objects in the specified virtual object group are controlled to switch to a target coordination mode.

For example: when the member virtual objects in a specified virtual object group are displayed in a virtual scene, the member virtual objects are in the default cooperation mode (such as cooperation mode A). After the player triggers the cooperation mode control corresponding to cooperation mode B, the member virtual objects in the specified virtual object group are controlled to switch to cooperation mode B (ie, target cooperation mode); or, after controlling the member virtual objects in the specified virtual object group to enter cooperation mode A, the player wants the member virtual objects to cooperate with the main control virtual object in cooperation mode B, then the cooperation mode is switched to switch the current cooperation mode A to cooperation mode B, so that the member virtual objects in the specified virtual object group assist the main control virtual object in cooperation mode B.

In an optional embodiment, the team member virtual object is displayed in the virtual scene to perform a second action animation corresponding to the target cooperation mode.

Illustratively, after the player selects the target cooperation mode, a second action animation is displayed, and the second action animation is used to show that the team member virtual object performs an action corresponding to the target cooperation mode in the virtual scene.

Optionally, the second action animation includes the team member virtual object performing an action animation corresponding to the target cooperation mode toward the hostile virtual object.

The hostile virtual object is used to indicate a virtual object that is in a different camp from the main virtual object. In the virtual scene, the camp corresponding to the main virtual object and the camp corresponding to the hostile virtual object engage in a virtual battle.

Optionally, the member virtual objects in the designated virtual object group and the main control virtual object belong to the same camp of virtual objects. When performing a virtual battle, the member virtual objects assist the main control virtual object to attack the hostile virtual object.

After the member virtual objects in the designated virtual object group enter the target coordination mode, the member virtual objects assist the main control virtual object in accordance with the target coordination mode. For example, when the target coordination mode is implemented as the follow mode, the member virtual objects follow the main control virtual object to produce a multiple attack effect on the hostile virtual object; or, when the target coordination mode is implemented as the hold mode, the member virtual objects follow the instructions of the main control virtual object to form a designated formation at the designated position, and establish a defensive barrier through the designated formation to reduce the enemy virtual object's desire to search for the enemy, thereby effectively protecting the garrison area or the main control virtual object indicated by the designated formation.

Illustratively, the preset area behind the virtual objects of the team members in the designated formation is used as the garrison area indicated by the designated formation; or, the preset area surrounded by the virtual objects of the team members in the designated formation is used as the garrison area indicated by the designated formation, etc.

Optionally, in the hold mode, the virtual objects of the team members in the designated formation attack the enemy virtual objects based on the player's control; or, in response to the enemy virtual objects being within the preset attack range of the designated formation, the enemy virtual objects are automatically attacked, etc.

Illustratively, in the target coordination mode, when the control team member virtual object attacks the hostile virtual object, the hostile virtual object is attacked according to the virtual combat mode corresponding to the team member virtual object.

For example: In the target coordination mode, when the team member virtual object is a melee infantry type virtual object, when controlling the team member When a virtual object attacks a hostile virtual object, the virtual object of the member is controlled to attack the hostile virtual object within a certain range on the virtual ground, such as using a virtual spear configured by the virtual object of the member to attack the hostile virtual object within a certain range, thereby displaying the attack animation of the virtual object of the member on the hostile virtual object. Among them, the virtual combat method of the virtual object of the melee infantry type is: using a virtual spear to attack the hostile virtual object within a certain range.

Alternatively, in the target coordination mode, when the team member virtual object is a cavalry type virtual object, when the team member virtual object is controlled to attack the hostile virtual object, the team member virtual object is controlled to attack the hostile virtual object within a certain range on horseback, such as using a virtual sword configured by the team member virtual object itself to attack the hostile virtual object within a certain range, thereby displaying the attack animation of the team member virtual object on the hostile virtual object. Among them, the virtual combat method of the cavalry type virtual object is: using a virtual sword to attack the hostile virtual object, etc.

It is worth noting that the above are merely illustrative examples and are not limited to the embodiments of the present application.

In summary, the control method of the virtual object group in the virtual scene provided by the embodiment of the present application receives the battle control operation on the virtual object group, controls multiple virtual object groups in the virtual object group to cooperate with the main control virtual object to fight in the target formation and the corresponding virtual battle mode, and displays the corresponding attack animation of attacking the hostile virtual object; on the one hand, because the virtual object group includes more than two virtual object groups belonging to different types, the number of target formations and virtual battle modes formed are increased, thereby enriching the control method of the player when controlling the virtual object group to fight; on the other hand, because the battle control operation can control the virtual object group, that is, more than two virtual object groups belonging to different types at the same time, the control efficiency of the player over the virtual object group when participating in the game is improved.

The method provided in the embodiment of the present application provides at least two methods for determining the target formation. First, by receiving a formation configuration operation, the arrangement positions of multiple virtual object groups in the virtual object group are configured to obtain a target formation, thereby improving the configuration efficiency of the target formation configuration. Second, based on the matching conditions of multiple virtual object groups in the virtual object group, multiple virtual object groups are arranged to obtain a target formation. Since the matching conditions of multiple virtual object groups are taken into consideration when determining the target formation, the attack efficiency of attacking hostile virtual objects based on the target formation is improved.

The method provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes the combination configuration operation of virtual object groups by displaying a combination configuration interface and receiving a selection operation of at least two virtual object groups from a plurality of candidate virtual object groups, thereby providing players with a channel for independently constructing virtual object groups, improving the players' gaming experience, and further improving the efficiency of human-computer interaction.

In some optional embodiments, the virtual object group includes a virtual hunter object group and a virtual hound object group, wherein the virtual hunter object group includes a plurality of group member hunter objects, and the virtual hound object group includes a plurality of group member hound objects. Please refer to FIG. 7, which shows a flow chart of a method for controlling a virtual object group in a virtual scene provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method is described by taking the application of the method in the terminal shown in FIG. 2 as an example. As shown in FIG. 7, the method includes:

Step 701: display a first virtual object group in a virtual scene.

The first virtual object group is composed of a virtual hunter object group and a virtual hound object group.

Optionally, multiple member hunter objects in the virtual hunter object group are equipped with virtual bows and arrows, which can cause damage to hostile virtual objects remotely, wherein each member hunter object is configured with one or more member hound objects, which can cause damage to hostile virtual objects at close range by biting.

Step 702: receiving a battle control operation on a first virtual object group.

The above-mentioned battle control operation is used to instruct and control the virtual hunter object group and the virtual hound object group in the first virtual object group to cooperate in combat in a target formation, wherein the target formation is used to indicate the arrangement positions of the virtual hunter object group and the virtual hound object group in the first virtual object group.

Optionally, the target formations of the virtual hunter object group and the virtual hound object group include at least one of the following formations:

1. Follow the formation.

The following formation refers to a formation in which a plurality of crew member hound objects follow a plurality of crew member hunter objects respectively, that is, one or more crew member hound objects follow the peripheral position of a crew member hunter object.

Schematically, please refer to FIG. 8, which shows a schematic diagram of the interface display of the second virtual object group in the following formation. As shown in FIG. 8, the interface 800 includes a plurality of group member hunter objects 801 and a plurality of group member hound objects 802, and a group member hunter The human object 801 is followed by a team member, a hound object 802 .

2. Charge formation.

That is, the virtual hound object group is arranged in front of the virtual hunter object group and faces the position of the enemy virtual object.

3. Protect the formation.

That is, the virtual hound object group surrounds the virtual hunter object group.

The above examples of target formations are merely illustrative and are not limited to these in the embodiments of the present application.

Illustratively, when the player just enters the target game, the first virtual object group can be displayed by default in a follow formation; optionally, when the player initiates an attack command to the hostile virtual object, the follow formation can be maintained or switched to a charge formation; when the player initiates a retreat command, the follow formation can be maintained or switched to a protection formation. Optionally, whether to use a follow formation or a protection formation is determined based on the health value of each member hunter object in the virtual hunter object group. If the health value of each member hunter object is less than a threshold, it is switched to a protection formation. If the health value of each member hunter object is greater than or equal to the threshold, it is switched to a follow formation.

Step 703, in response to the battle control operation, display the attack animation of multiple team member hunter objects and multiple team member hound objects attacking the hostile virtual object in a target formation and in their respective corresponding virtual battle modes.

Optionally, an attack animation of multiple team member hound objects and multiple team member hunter objects attacking hostile virtual objects in a following formation and in their respective corresponding virtual combat modes is displayed; or, an attack animation of multiple team member hound objects and multiple team member hunter objects attacking hostile virtual objects in a charging formation and in their respective corresponding virtual combat modes is displayed.

Optionally, the attack animation of the multiple team member hunter objects and the multiple team member hound objects attacking the hostile virtual object further includes at least one of the following situations:

1. Display a first attack animation of the virtual hunter object group attacking a hostile virtual object in a first combat mode, wherein the first attack animation is used to indicate that the virtual hunter object group hits the hostile virtual object; based on the first attack animation, display a second attack animation of the virtual hound object group attacking the hostile virtual object in a second combat mode, wherein the second combat mode corresponds to a target attack value, and the target attack value is greater than an initial attack value of a member hound object in the virtual hound object group.

Optionally, the first fighting mode refers to the way in which the team member hunter object shoots based on the equipped virtual bow and arrow, and the second fighting mode refers to the fighting mode corresponding to the team member hound object's attack skills set by the system, for example: the skill of causing damage to the hostile virtual object by biting.

In schematic form, after the team member hunter object shoots the target hostile virtual object with a virtual bow and arrow, if the team member hound object hits the target hostile virtual object again, it will cause high damage to the target hostile virtual object. The high damage value is the target attack value, which is much larger than the initial attack value set by the system default corresponding to the attack skill of the team member hound object.

Optionally, when the virtual arrow of the team member hunter object hits a hostile virtual object, an animation of the arrow hitting the hostile virtual object will be displayed, and first identification information will be displayed on the hit hostile virtual object, and the first identification information is used to indicate that the hostile virtual object is in a hit state; optionally, the team member hound object will give priority to attacking the hostile virtual object with the first identification information.

2. Display a third attack animation of the virtual hound object group on the hostile virtual object in the second combat mode, the third attack animation is used to indicate that the virtual hound object group hits the hostile virtual object; wherein the third attack animation corresponds to the first attack effect, the first attack effect is used to indicate that the movement speed of the hostile virtual object is reduced and the attack value of the hostile virtual object is reduced; or, the movement speed of multiple member hunter objects is increased and the attack values of multiple member hunter objects are increased.

Illustratively, when the team member hound object causes damage to the hostile virtual object by biting, second identification information is displayed on the hostile virtual object, and the second identification information is used to indicate that the movement speed of the hostile virtual object has slowed down and the attack power has weakened. Optionally, the team member hunter object will give priority to attacking the hostile virtual object with the second identification information; or, third identification information is displayed on the team member hunter object followed by the team member hound object, and the third identification information is used to indicate that the movement speed of the team member hunter object has increased and the attack power has increased (that is, the damage value of a single attack to the hostile virtual object has increased).

Optionally, if the number of group hunter objects displaying the third identification information reaches a number threshold (the number threshold is less than the number of group hunter objects), the attack effect of the virtual hunter object group gain is increased, for example: the movement speed and attack power of all group hunter objects are increased, and the increase is the same as the movement speed and attack power increase indicated by the third identification information. or, within a preset time, increase the movement speed and attack power of all group member hunter objects to a target range, which is much greater than the increase in movement speed and attack power indicated by the third identification information.

3. In response to the virtual hunter object group being eliminated, a fourth attack animation of the virtual hound object group attacking the hostile virtual object in a second combat mode is displayed, wherein the second combat mode corresponds to a second attack effect, and the second attack effect is used to indicate the attack effect of multiple member hound objects causing damage to the hostile virtual object for a preset duration.

Illustratively, when a virtual hunter object group is eliminated, if there are still virtual hound objects that have not been eliminated in the virtual hound object group, then within a preset time, the hound objects that have not been eliminated will be displayed to continuously lock onto the hostile virtual object to attack, and generate an attack animation of damage. Optionally, in response to the end of the preset time, the hound objects that have not been eliminated will be eliminated.

Optionally, the above preset time is associated with the elimination rate of member hunter objects in the virtual hunter object group. The higher the elimination rate, the longer the preset time. Schematically, when all member hunter objects are eliminated, the remaining member hound objects will obtain a locking damage bonus lasting 5 seconds; if the elimination rate of member hunter objects in the virtual hunter object group is 50%, the remaining member hound objects will obtain a locking damage skill lasting 2 seconds.

In summary, the control method of the virtual object group in the virtual scene provided by the embodiment of the present application receives the battle control operation on the first virtual object group, controls the virtual hunter object group and the virtual hound object group in the virtual object group to cooperate in battle in the target formation and the respective corresponding virtual battle methods, and displays the corresponding attack animation of attacking the hostile virtual object; on the one hand, because the first virtual object group includes two different types of virtual object groups, the number of target formations and virtual battle methods formed are increased, thereby enriching the control methods of the player when controlling the virtual object group to fight; on the other hand, because the battle control operation can simultaneously control the first virtual object group, that is, the virtual hunter object group and the virtual hound object group, the control efficiency of the player over the virtual object group when participating in the game is improved.

The method provided in the embodiment of the present application can display attack animations of multiple team member hound objects and multiple team member hunter objects attacking hostile virtual objects in a following formation and their respective corresponding virtual combat modes by receiving battle control operations. That is, the following formation is determined based on the battle control operation, thereby improving the operational efficiency of players in selecting formations when participating in game matches.

The method provided in the embodiment of the present application provides at least three attack animations of the first virtual object group on the hostile virtual object. First, based on the virtual hunter object group hitting the hostile virtual object, an attack animation of the virtual hound object group attacking the hostile virtual object in a buffed combat manner is displayed; second, a hostile animation of the virtual hound object group hitting the hostile virtual object is displayed, and the hit effect will reduce the attack effect of the hostile virtual object on the virtual object group; third, in response to the virtual hunter object group being eliminated, an attack animation of the virtual hound object group attacking the hostile virtual object in a buffed combat manner is displayed, further enriching the player's control method when controlling the virtual object group to fight.

In some optional embodiments, the virtual object group includes a virtual attendant object group, and the virtual attendant object group includes a plurality of member attendant objects. Please refer to FIG9 , which shows a flow chart of a method for controlling a virtual object group in a virtual scene provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method is applied to a terminal as shown in FIG2 , and as shown in FIG9 , the method includes:

Step 901: display a second virtual object group in a virtual scene.

The second virtual object group is composed of other virtual object groups and virtual attendant object groups.

Illustratively, the other virtual object groups are implemented as virtual knight object groups as an example for explanation, the virtual knight object group includes multiple member virtual knight objects, and optionally, the multiple member virtual knight objects in the virtual knight object group are equipped with virtual horses and virtual lances.

Among them, the virtual horse can provide the team member virtual knight object with a long-distance charge skill, and the team member virtual knight object can use the charge skill to cause the first damage to the hostile virtual object. Optionally, based on the distance between the team member virtual knight object and the hostile virtual object, the first damage value caused by the charge skill to the hostile virtual object is determined. The longer the distance between the team member virtual knight object and the hostile virtual object, the higher the damage value caused by the charge skill to the hostile virtual object. That is, when the team member virtual knight object charges a longer run-up distance, the greater the impact force of hitting the hostile virtual object, and the higher the damage value. In addition, when the team member virtual knight object reaches a distance threshold with the hostile virtual object, it can use a virtual lance to cause a second damage to the hostile virtual object. Harm value.

Optionally, the above-mentioned first damage value and second damage value also correspond to a bonus coefficient, wherein the bonus coefficient can be determined according to the difference between the level of the virtual knight object group and the level of the hostile virtual object group. Schematically, the higher the level of the virtual knight object group and the lower the level of the hostile virtual object group, the higher the bonus coefficient, that is, the higher the first damage value and the second damage value.

In some optional embodiments, the virtual knight object group corresponds to a combination configuration permission, that is, other virtual object groups can be configured for the virtual knight object group, and optionally, the virtual knight object group can be configured with one or more virtual object groups. Then displaying the virtual knight object group and the virtual attendant object group also includes:

A combination configuration interface of a virtual knight object group is displayed, on which a plurality of candidate virtual servant object groups are displayed; in response to receiving a selection operation of a virtual servant object group from the plurality of candidate virtual servant object groups, the virtual knight object group and the virtual servant object group in the virtual scene are displayed.

Optionally, multiple candidate virtual attendant object groups correspond to different types, wherein the types of virtual attendant object groups include at least one of virtual cavalry object groups, virtual pikeman object groups, and virtual crossbowman object groups, which is not limited to the embodiments of the present application.
