One embodiment

According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an embodiment of a control method of a virtual object, it being noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the drawings may be performed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases the steps shown or described may be performed in an order different from that herein.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a control method of a virtual object according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 1, the method includes the following steps:

step S102, in response to the touch operation on the virtual control, determining the operation direction of the touch operation, and obtaining the current state information of the virtual object in the game scene, wherein the current state information comprises: current direction of movement and current speed.

Specifically, the virtual control may be a virtual rocker, which is used for controlling the motion state of the virtual object in the game scene. In an alternative embodiment, taking a game running on the mobile terminal as an example, the virtual control may be disposed at the lower left corner or the lower right corner of the graphical user interface corresponding to the game, so as to facilitate the user to operate the game.

The process of operating the virtual control may be a process of moving the virtual control from the origin center position to other positions through a touch operation on the terminal device, and a direction pointing to the other positions from the origin center position is an operation direction of the touch operation. And in the process of operating the virtual control, acquiring the operation direction of touch operation and the current state information of the virtual object in the game scene in real time so as to control the virtual object.

The current moving direction of the virtual object is used for representing the moving direction of the virtual object, and the current speed of the virtual object is used for representing the moving speed of the virtual object in the game scene. The virtual object further includes a direction, which is used to represent a direction in which the virtual object faces, and the direction of the virtual object may be the same as or different from the moving direction of the virtual object. For example, the virtual object is oriented in the same direction as it moves forward, but is oriented in a different direction as it moves backward.

In an alternative embodiment, taking a game running on a mobile terminal as an example, the device detects touch operation on the virtual control in real time. When the touch operation on the virtual object is detected, the operation direction of the touch operation and the current state information of the virtual object are obtained.

Step S104, determining an included angle between the operation direction and the current moving direction.

Specifically, on the basis of determining the operation direction, the included angle between the virtual object and the current moving direction of the virtual object can be determined.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram for determining an included angle according to an embodiment of the present application, and, with reference to fig. 2, arrow P1 is used to represent a current moving direction of a virtual object, and arrow P2 is used to represent an operation direction of a touch operation. The included angle between the arrow P1 and the arrow P2 is the included angle between the operation direction and the current moving direction.

In an alternative embodiment, the angle of the current moving direction relative to the 0-angle coordinate axis in the world coordinate system in the game scene and the angle of the operating direction relative to the 0-angle coordinate axis in the world coordinate system may be determined separately, and then the difference between the two angles is obtained, that is, the included angle.

In another alternative embodiment, the current moving direction of the virtual object may be taken as a direction of 0 degrees, and after the touch operation for controlling the virtual control is detected, an angle of the operation direction of the touch operation with respect to the current moving direction of the virtual object is determined, where the angle is the above included angle.

Step S106, determining target state information of the virtual object according to the included angle and the current state information, wherein the target state information comprises: a target movement direction and a target speed.

After determining the included angle between the operation direction and the current moving direction, the control intention of the virtual object can be determined, and then the target state of the virtual object is determined.

In an alternative embodiment, the target moving direction may be determined according to an included angle, for example, if the included angle is greater than a preset angle value, it is determined that the virtual object needs to be controlled to turn, the current moving direction is changed to obtain the target moving direction, and if the included angle is less than the preset value, it is determined that the virtual object needs to be controlled to advance, the current moving direction is maintained, and the current moving direction is taken as the target moving direction.

In an alternative embodiment, the target speed may be obtained in combination with the current speed on the basis of the target movement direction. For example, in the case where the target moving direction is the same as the current moving direction, acceleration may be performed according to the current speed until the touch operation is stopped; in the case where the target moving direction is different from the current moving direction, the target speed may be obtained by superimposing the current speed and a new speed generated by the touch operation.

Step S108, the virtual object is controlled to move according to the target state information.

And controlling the virtual object to move according to the target state information of the virtual object, namely controlling the virtual object to enable the virtual object to reach the target state recorded in the target state information. The target state information comprises the target moving direction and the target speed, so the scheme is used for controlling the virtual object to achieve the target moving direction and the target speed in the target state information, and the movement control of the virtual object is realized.

As can be seen from the above, in the embodiments of the present application, in response to a touch operation applied to a virtual control, an operation direction of the touch operation is determined, and current state information of a virtual object in a game scene is obtained, where the current state information includes: current direction of movement and current speed; determining an included angle between the operation direction and the current moving direction; determining target state information of the virtual object according to the included angle and the current state information, wherein the target state information comprises: a target moving direction and a target speed; and controlling the virtual object to move according to the target state information. According to the scheme, the virtual object is modeled as a whole, only key parameters (the current moving direction, the current speed and the included angle) with high performance correlation are introduced, other complex interaction solutions are ignored, so that the consumption of computing resources can be reduced, the technical problem that the computing resources consumed by controlling the virtual object in the game in the prior art are too high is solved, and a plurality of virtual objects can exist on the mobile terminal at the same time.

As the virtual object to be resolved is stepped up, the consumption of its use is also increasing. In addition to these resolving costs, more costs are put on rendering and logic processing, and typically more than 10% of the resolving costs are allocated to the mobile platform, and the processor is too stressed.

As an alternative embodiment, determining target state information of the virtual object according to the included angle and the current state information includes: determining a target moving direction according to the included angle and the current moving direction; and determining a target speed according to the current speed.

Whether the current moving direction is changed or not can be determined according to the included angle, so that whether the target moving direction is the same as the current moving direction or not is determined, acceleration, deceleration or speed superposition can be performed on the basis of the current speed, and the target speed is obtained. The following is a detailed description.

As an alternative embodiment, determining the target movement direction according to the included angle and the current movement direction includes: if the included angle is smaller than a first preset angle, determining that the target moving direction is the same as the current moving direction; if the included angle is larger than or equal to a second preset angle, determining that the target moving direction is opposite to the current moving direction, wherein the second preset angle is larger than the first preset angle, and the second preset angle is larger than the first preset angle; and if the included angle is larger than or equal to the first preset angle and smaller than the second preset angle, determining that the target moving direction deviates from the current moving direction.

The direction of operation of the virtual control is used to reflect the direction in which the virtual object is required to move. In the above scheme, if the included angle is smaller than the first preset angle, determining that the target moving direction is the same as the current moving direction, that is, determining that the moving mode of the virtual object is forward; if the included angle is larger than a second preset value, determining that the target moving direction is opposite to the current moving direction (but the direction of the virtual object can be unchanged), and determining a reversing mode of the moving mode of the virtual object; if the included angle is larger than the first angle and the angle and smaller than the second preset angle, the target moving direction is determined to be changed on the basis of the current moving direction, and the moving mode of the virtual object is determined to be a turning mode.

When the virtual object is expected to move forward in the game scene, touch operation in the same operation direction as the current movement direction (the included angle is 0 degrees) can be performed on the virtual control, but because a certain error exists in the touch operation, the operation direction of the touch operation is difficult to be completely the same as the current movement direction of the virtual object, and therefore touch operation of determining that the included angle of the touch operation and the virtual control is smaller than a first preset angle is used for controlling the virtual object to move forward. Likewise, when the virtual object is expected to retreat, touch operation in an operation direction opposite to the current moving direction (the included angle is 180 °) can be performed on the virtual control, but because a certain error exists in the touch operation, the touch operation with the included angle larger than the second preset angle is determined to be used for controlling the virtual object to retreat. When the included angle is greater than or equal to the first preset angle and smaller than the second preset angle, it can be determined that the control intention of the virtual object is turning movement, so that the current movement direction needs to be changed.

In an alternative embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the area formed by the upper dashed line in fig. 2 is an area with an included angle smaller than the first preset angle, and the touch operation in the area with the operation direction is used to control the virtual object to advance, where the corresponding target moving direction is unchanged, for example, P2; the area formed by the lower dotted line is an area with an included angle larger than or equal to a second preset angle, and the touch operation of which the operation direction falls in the area is used for controlling the virtual object to retreat, and the corresponding target moving direction is unchanged, such as P3; the area formed by the upper left broken line and the lower left broken line, and the area formed by the upper right broken line and the lower right broken line are the areas with the included angle larger than or equal to the first preset angle and smaller than the second preset angle, and the touch operation with the operation direction falling in the areas is used for controlling the virtual object to turn, such as P4.

As an optional embodiment, the virtual object is in a first virtual scene, where the virtual object in the first virtual scene includes a virtual character and a virtual carrier, the virtual carrier is a horse, and determining the target moving direction according to the included angle and the current moving direction includes: if the included angle is larger than or equal to the first preset angle and smaller than the second preset angle, determining that the target moving direction of the virtual object is adjusted from the current moving direction to the operation direction in the turning movement process of the virtual object.

The virtual objects in the first virtual scene include virtual characters and virtual carriers, and in an alternative embodiment, the virtual characters may be horses, and the first virtual scene is a scene in which the virtual characters move on horse in the game.

And if the included angle is larger than or equal to the first preset angle and smaller than the second preset angle, determining to control the virtual object to turn. Because the virtual object of the virtual scene comprises the virtual carrier, the virtual object can be controlled to turn according to a certain radian without direct turning. In the process of turning the virtual object, the moving direction of the virtual object continuously changes until the virtual object completely turns to the operation direction pointed by the touch operation. However, in this process, if the virtual control is released, it is difficult for the virtual object to be completely turned to the operation direction, and only the moving direction of the virtual object when the virtual control is released may be stagnant. When a touch operation for controlling the virtual object to turn is received, the moving direction of the virtual object changes in the turning process, and the virtual object is turned from the current moving direction to the operation direction of the touch operation.

As an alternative embodiment, if the included angle is greater than or equal to the first preset angle and less than the second preset angle, determining the target speed according to the current speed includes: determining the centripetal speed of the virtual object when turning according to the preset steering angular speed and the preset steering radius of the virtual object, wherein the steering radius is determined according to the operation direction of touch operation; and superposing the current speed and the centripetal speed of the virtual object to obtain the target speed.

Specifically, the steering angular velocity is a preset designated velocity, and the steering radius and the angle of the turn show an inverse proportion relation, that is, the larger the angle of the turn is, the smaller the steering radius is.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a virtual object turning in a first virtual scene according to an embodiment of the present application, and in conjunction with fig. 3, a point 0 is a position of the virtual object in a turning process, v0 is a current speed of the virtual object, v1 is a centripetal speed, where v1=w×r, w represents a preset steering angular speed, and r is a steering radius. And superposing v0 and v1 to obtain v2, namely the target speed of the virtual object.

As an alternative embodiment, the virtual object in the second virtual scene moves on the ice surface, and the determining the target speed according to the current speed includes: if the included angle is larger than or equal to the first preset angle and smaller than the second preset angle, controlling the virtual object to decelerate according to the fourth acceleration from the current speed to obtain the first speed; acquiring a control speed generated by operating the virtual control, and accelerating according to a fifth acceleration on the basis of the control speed to obtain a second speed, wherein the direction of the control speed is the same as the operation direction; and superposing the first speed and the second speed to obtain the target speed.

Specifically, the second virtual scene may be a game scene in which a virtual object moves on an ice surface. The virtual object may include only the virtual character and not the virtual vehicle, so that steering may be directly performed under the condition that the included angle is greater than or equal to the first preset angle and less than the second preset angle.

In the above scheme, the control virtual object decelerates on the basis of the current speed, and accelerates the control speed in the operation direction of the touch operation, so as to realize the steering of the virtual object, wherein the control speed is zero at the beginning. Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of controlling the steering of the virtual object in the second scenario according to the embodiment of the present application, and in combination with fig. 4, v11 is the current speed of the virtual object at a certain moment in the steering process, it is decelerated according to the fourth acceleration, v12 is the speed of the same moment in the operation direction, it accelerates according to the fifth acceleration, v11 and v12 are overlapped to obtain v13, and v13 is the target speed of the virtual object at the moment. With the increase of time, v11 is reduced to 0, and v12 is increased to a preset maximum speed, so that the steering control of the virtual object is realized.

As an alternative embodiment, if the included angle is greater than or equal to the first preset angle and less than the second preset angle, determining the target moving direction according to the current moving direction and the operation direction includes: the target moving direction is determined to be the same as the direction of the target speed.

In the second virtual scene, the virtual object may include only the virtual character and not the virtual vehicle, so that the target moving direction is easy to change, and the target moving direction is consistent with the target speed, and the target object is oriented in the same direction as the operation direction.

As an optional embodiment, determining the target speed according to the current speed when the included angle is smaller than the first preset angle includes: in the process of operating the virtual control, if the current speed is smaller than the preset maximum speed, accelerating according to the first acceleration on the basis of the current speed to obtain a target speed, and if the current speed of the virtual object reaches the maximum speed, determining the maximum speed as the target speed; and under the condition that the operation of the virtual control is stopped, the target speed is obtained by decelerating according to the second acceleration on the basis of the current speed.

And under the condition that the included angle is smaller than a first preset angle, determining to control the virtual object to advance. Specifically, the first acceleration and the second acceleration may be the same.

In an alternative embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the operation direction of the touch operation is P1, and the current movement speed is less than the preset maximum speed, the virtual object accelerates to the maximum speed according to the first acceleration, and continues to move according to the maximum speed after reaching the maximum speed. And after stopping the touch operation of the virtual control, decelerating the virtual object according to the second acceleration until stopping.

As an optional embodiment, when the included angle is greater than or equal to a second preset angle, determining the target speed according to the current speed includes: decelerating to zero according to a third acceleration on the basis of the current speed; and determining a preset speed opposite to the current moving direction as a target speed.
