With reference to the above description of the virtual environment and the description of the implementation environment, a method for using the virtual item provided in the embodiment of the present application is described, and an execution subject of the method is illustrated as a client running on the terminal shown in fig. 1. The terminal runs an application program, which is a program supporting a virtual environment.

The application provides an exemplary embodiment for applying the using method of the virtual prop to an FPS game.

When the virtual character enters the virtual environment and starts to match, a skill selection interface of the match at this time can be popped up on the user interface, and the user can select a skill from the skill selection interface to use in the match at this time. Illustratively, virtual characters of the same lineup cannot use the same skills, and when a skill has been selected by other virtual characters of the same lineup, the user cannot select the skill any more. For example, the use method of the virtual prop provided by the application can be used for the use process of the skill of a trap chip. Illustratively, the virtual character selects a 'trap chip' as the skill of the game.

Illustratively, after the virtual character selects the skill, a use control of the skill is displayed on the right side of the user interface, and illustratively, a "trap chip" skill corresponds to a trap placement control. Illustratively, after the user selects the "trap chip" skill, the skill will enter a cooling period, where the skill is not available, at which point the trap placement control is not triggerable and is displayed in a non-triggerable state, e.g., in gray. Illustratively, the cooling period is 75s, and after 75s after the user selects the "trap chip" skill, the user can use the skill by triggering the trap placement control. Illustratively, after the user has used the "trap chip" skill once, the skill will again enter the cooling period until the cooling period is over and the user can use the skill again.

The user adjusts the position of the trap placement by adjusting the location on the user interface at which the sight is aimed, for example, the adjustment of the sight can be adjusted by a movement operation on a movement control and a view rotation operation on a view control. And after the user aims at the place where the trap is placed, triggering the trap placing control, and placing the trap on the ground aimed by the sight bead. For example, when the trap is placed, the client may detect whether the place where the trap is placed is suitable for placing the trap, for example, whether the place where the trap is placed is too far away from the position of the virtual character, whether an obstacle is blocked on the place where the trap is placed, whether the place where the trap is placed is too inclined, and the like. If the trap is suitable for placement, the trap is placed in a placement place, and if the trap is not suitable for placement, the trap is not placed.

Illustratively, the trap of the "trap chip" is a laser trap. After the trap is placed, two laser rods higher than the ground are arranged on the ground, the lower ends of the laser rods are inserted into the ground, the upper ends of the laser rods are provided with transverse laser emitting ports, the two laser rods are respectively placed at two ends and emit laser beams from the two emitting ports, and the laser beams are connected with the two laser rods in a straight line.

For example, after the trap is placed by the virtual character, the trap can be seen by other virtual characters in the same camp, and the trap can not be seen by other virtual characters in the hostile camp. Illustratively, the trap will only work against other avatars in a hostile camp. When other virtual characters of enemy camps pass through the laser beam, the action effect of the trap is generated, the moving speed is reduced, and the life value is continuously reduced, and the action effect can be continued for a period of time. Illustratively, the trap will show up when triggered by another avatar of a hostile camp, after which the trap is visible to all avatars of the hostile camp.

Illustratively, the client detects whether other virtual characters of the hostile camp trigger the trap or not by means of ray detection. The client controls at least one of the two laser emitting ports to periodically emit at least one detection ray. The maximum length of the detection ray is equal to the linear distance between the two laser emitting openings. When the detection ray is emitted to impact the three-dimensional virtual model, the client side obtains an impact result, the impact result comprises information of the impacted three-dimensional virtual model, and when the three-dimensional virtual model is the three-dimensional virtual model of the virtual character of enemy camp, the client side determines that other virtual characters of enemy camp trigger the trap to have an effect on the other virtual characters.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a method for using a virtual item according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The execution subject of the method is exemplified by a client running on the terminal shown in fig. 1, the client being a client supporting a virtual environment, and the method includes at least the following steps.

Step 305, displaying a first user interface, wherein the first user interface comprises a virtual environment picture, and the virtual environment picture is a picture for observing the virtual environment from the perspective of a first virtual character belonging to the first camp.

Illustratively, the first user interface is the interface displayed on the client after the session has been initiated. Exemplary, before the first user interface, may further include: a team forming interface for friend team forming, a matching interface for matching the virtual role with other virtual roles, a game loading interface for loading game information of the game, and the like.

Illustratively, the first virtual role in the present embodiment is a virtual role controlled by the client, that is, the first virtual role is a master virtual role controlled by the client. The second virtual character is a virtual character controlled by other clients, or the second virtual character is a virtual character controlled by a server, or the second virtual character is a virtual character controlled by artificial intelligence, or the second virtual character is a virtual character controlled by a simple algorithm in the client, that is, the second virtual character can be a main control virtual character on other clients, or can be a human machine virtual character which is not controlled by any user.

Alternatively, the virtual environment screen is a screen from which the virtual environment is viewed from the perspective of the first avatar. The perspective refers to an observation angle when the virtual character is observed in the virtual environment from a first person perspective or a third person perspective. Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the viewing angle is an angle at which the first virtual character is observed by the camera model in the virtual environment.

Optionally, the camera model automatically follows the virtual character in the virtual environment, that is, when the position of the virtual character in the virtual environment changes, the camera model changes while following the position of the virtual character in the virtual environment, and the camera model is always within the preset distance range of the virtual character in the virtual environment. Optionally, the relative positions of the camera model and the virtual character do not change during the automatic following process.

The camera model is a three-dimensional model positioned around a virtual character in a virtual environment, and when a first-person visual angle is adopted, the camera model is positioned near the head of the virtual character or positioned at the head of the virtual character; when a third person perspective view is adopted, the camera model can be located behind the virtual character and bound with the virtual character, or located at any position away from the virtual character by a preset distance, the virtual character located in the virtual environment can be observed from different angles through the camera model, and optionally, when the third person perspective view is the shoulder-crossing perspective view of the first person, the camera model is located behind the virtual character (such as the head and the shoulder of the virtual character). Optionally, the viewing angle includes other viewing angles, such as a top viewing angle, in addition to the first person viewing angle and the third person viewing angle; the camera model may be positioned over the head of the virtual character when a top view is used, which is a view of viewing the virtual environment from an aerial top view. Optionally, the camera model is not actually displayed in the virtual environment, i.e. the camera model is not displayed in the virtual environment view displayed by the user interface.

To illustrate an example where the camera model is located at any position away from the virtual character by a preset distance, optionally, one virtual character corresponds to one camera model, and the camera model may rotate with the virtual character as a rotation center, for example: the camera model is rotated with any point of the virtual character as a rotation center, the camera model rotates not only angularly but also shifts in displacement during the rotation, and the distance between the camera model and the rotation center is kept constant during the rotation, that is, the camera model rotates on the surface of a sphere with the rotation center as the sphere center, wherein any point of the virtual character can be the head, the trunk or any point around the virtual character, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. Optionally, when the virtual character is observed by the camera model, the center of the view angle of the camera model points to the direction in which the point of the spherical surface on which the camera model is located points to the center of the sphere.

Optionally, the camera model may also observe the virtual character at a preset angle in different directions of the virtual character.

Referring to fig. 4, schematically, a point is determined in the first virtual character 11 as a rotation center 12, and the camera model is rotated around the rotation center 12, and optionally, the camera model is configured with an initial position, which is a position above and behind the first virtual character (for example, a rear position of the brain). Illustratively, as shown in fig. 4, the initial position is position 13, and when the camera model rotates to position 14 or position 15, the direction of the angle of view of the camera model changes as the camera model rotates.

Optionally, the virtual environment displayed by the virtual environment screen includes: at least one element selected from the group consisting of mountains, flat ground, rivers, lakes, oceans, deserts, swamps, quicksand, sky, plants, buildings, and vehicles.

Illustratively, the local game is participated by at least two virtual roles, the at least two virtual roles respectively belong to at least two camps, and different camps are in hostile relation with each other. In this embodiment, the first virtual character belongs to the first camp, and the second virtual character belongs to the second camp, wherein the first camp and the second camp are each other a hostile camp. Optionally, the office of the game may also include a third virtual character and a fourth virtual character, where the third virtual character belongs to a third camp, the fourth virtual character belongs to a first camp, the third camp and the first camp are each other a hostile camp, and the third camp and the second camp are also each other a hostile camp.

Illustratively, the virtual roles in the office of the office pair are divided into at least one camp, and each camp comprises at least one virtual role. For example, the game is divided into two camps, and each camps has five virtual roles, wherein the first virtual role to the fifth virtual role belong to the first camps, and the sixth virtual role to the tenth virtual role belong to the second camps. For another example, each virtual character belongs to an individual camp, and ten virtual characters participate in the office, wherein the first virtual character belongs to the first camp, and the second virtual character belongs to the second camp … …, and the tenth virtual character belongs to the tenth camp.

And step 306, responding to the item use instruction, setting the virtual item in an inactivated state in the virtual environment, wherein the virtual item is a trap item which is invisible to the virtual character of the second formation when the virtual item is in the inactivated state, and the virtual item comprises a virtual detection line for simulating a non-real object.

In response to the item use instruction, the client sets the virtual item in an inactivated state in the virtual environment.

The item use instruction is an instruction for controlling the first virtual character to set the virtual item in the virtual environment. The prop use instruction is generated after the client receives the prop use operation of the user. The client may receive the property using operation of the user through a variety of ways, for example, the client may receive a touch operation of the user through a touch display screen, receive a voice operation of the user through a microphone, recognize an action instruction of the user through a camera, receive a click operation of the user through a mouse, receive a key operation of the user through a gamepad, and receive a key operation of the user through a keyboard. Exemplarily, the client receives a touch operation of the user through the touch display screen: at least one of click, double click, slide, drag, press.

Taking an example of generating a prop use instruction by a prop use control, as shown in fig. 5, a prop use control 402 is displayed on a first user interface 401, where the prop use control 402 is a UI control, for example, a plurality of prop use controls 402 may be displayed on the first user interface 401, and in this embodiment, one prop use control is displayed on the first user interface 401. When the client receives an operation of clicking the item use control 402 by the user, as shown in fig. 6, a special effect 403 for placing the virtual item is displayed in the virtual environment screen, and after the playing of the special effect 403 is finished, as shown in fig. 7, the virtual item 404 is set in the virtual environment.

The virtual prop is a prop used for simulating a real trap. Illustratively, the virtual prop is a trap prop. Or, the virtual prop is a prop with a trap effect. Namely, after the virtual prop is placed by the first virtual character, the prop is triggered by other virtual characters (second virtual characters). The virtual prop is placed in a virtual environment and has a hiding effect, and is invisible to other virtual characters (second virtual characters) or is not easy to find the other virtual characters (second virtual characters). When the virtual prop is used, the virtual roles are arranged at any position in the virtual environment, and when other virtual roles meet the triggering conditions of the virtual prop, the virtual prop can be triggered, so that the effect on other virtual roles triggering the virtual prop is generated. Exemplarily, the virtual prop provided by the embodiment has a virtual detection line, the virtual detection line is a detection line formed by virtual substances, and the virtual detection line cannot deform when being subjected to an external force. Illustratively, the virtual detection lines exist in an energy state, for example, the virtual detection lines exist in the form of light, electricity, or waves. Illustratively, the virtual detection line is at least one of a laser line, a current line. The virtual detection line is used for triggering the virtual prop. When the virtual character of the enemy camp collides with the virtual detection line, the virtual prop is triggered, and a negative effect is generated on the virtual character of the enemy camp. Illustratively, when the virtual detection line is a laser line, the virtual prop simulates real-world triggering of a trap by a laser sensor. When the virtual detection line is a current line, the virtual prop simulates the placing of the outgoing current in the virtual environment, and when the virtual character touches the outgoing current, an electric shock effect is generated. Illustratively, a virtual detection line is a line segment of finite length.

Illustratively, a virtual prop has two states, an inactive state and an active state. The two states of the virtual prop control the virtual prop to be visible and invisible to the virtual character of the second battle (hostile battle). Illustratively, after the first virtual character places the virtual item in the virtual environment, the virtual item is in an inactivated state and invisible to the virtual character in the enemy camp. That is, the virtual item is not displayed on the client that controls the virtual character of the enemy camp. When the virtual prop is triggered for the first time, the virtual prop becomes an activated state and is visible to virtual roles strutted by enemies. That is, the virtual item is displayed on the client that controls the virtual character of the hostile camp. For example, only the first trigger will change the state of the virtual item, and neither the second trigger nor the third trigger will change the state of the virtual item. For example, only a virtual character in a hostile camp (not the first camp) may trigger a virtual prop. For example, the virtual item is a virtual item placed in a virtual environment by a first virtual character of a first lineup, at this time, the virtual item is in an inactivated state, and the virtual item cannot be seen by a second virtual character of a second lineup and a third virtual character of a third lineup; then, the second virtual character accidentally touches the virtual detection line, the virtual prop is triggered, the virtual prop becomes activated, and at the moment, the second virtual character and the third virtual character both see the virtual prop. For example, the other avatars in the first lineup may gain the gain effect by hitting the virtual detection line, but may not trigger the virtual prop. Illustratively, the virtual prop is always visible to the virtual character of the first lineup.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8, a user interface is presented that views the virtual environment from the perspective of the first avatar 405. In a first region 407 of the virtual environment, virtual item 404 is placed, which virtual item is placed by a first banked virtual character, and first virtual character 405 can see virtual item 404. As shown in fig. 9, a user interface is presented for viewing the virtual environment from the perspective of the second virtual character 406. A virtual item is placed in a first area 407 of the virtual environment, and since the virtual item is placed by a virtual character of a first lineup, the virtual item cannot be seen by the second virtual character 406, and the virtual item is not displayed in the first area 407.

Step 307, in response to the collision between the second virtual character and the virtual detection line, changing the virtual prop into an activated state, and controlling the second virtual character to receive the negative effect of the virtual prop, where the second virtual character is a virtual character belonging to a second camp, and the virtual prop is visible to the virtual character of the second camp when the virtual prop is in the activated state.

And in response to the collision of the second virtual character with the virtual detection line, the client changes the virtual prop into an activated state, and controls the second virtual character to be subjected to the negative effect of the virtual prop.

When the three-dimensional virtual model of the second virtual character collides with the virtual detection line or generates intersection in the virtual environment, the second virtual character triggers the virtual prop. When the virtual item is triggered by a virtual character in an enemy battle for the first time, the virtual item changes from an inactive state to an active state.

For example, as shown in fig. 9, at this point, the virtual item is in an inactive state and second virtual character 406 cannot see the virtual item. When the second avatar moves forward to first area 407, as shown in fig. 10, second avatar 406 collides with the virtual detection line of virtual prop 404, thereby triggering virtual prop, at which point virtual prop 404 becomes active and virtual prop 404 is visible to second avatar 406.

The virtual character triggering the virtual prop can be affected by the negative effect of the virtual prop. A negative side effect is one that negatively impacts the activity of the virtual character in the virtual environment. For example, the negative side effects include lowering at least one state value of the second avatar, the state value including at least one of a vital value, a movement speed, a signal value, a defense value, an attack value, an equipment endurance, a skill consumption blue amount, an economic value, and an equipment quantity. Illustratively, the life value and the signal value are used to determine the survival status of the virtual character in the virtual environment, and when the life value or the signal value is too low, the virtual character dies. The defense value is used for calculating the damage value of the virtual character when the virtual character is attacked, and under the same attack, the higher the defense value is, the lower the damage value of the virtual character is. The attack value is used for calculating the damage value suffered by other virtual roles when the virtual roles attack other virtual roles, and under the condition that the defense values of other virtual roles are the same, the higher the attack value is, the larger the damage value suffered by other virtual roles is, and the damage value is the reduction amount of the life value or the signal value. The amount of blue consumed by the skill is also called blue bars, when the skill is released by the virtual character, the amount of blue of the virtual character with a certain amount can be reduced, and when the amount of blue is too low, the skill cannot be released by the virtual character. The equipment durability is used for describing the usable state of the equipment, and the equipment durability influences the addition of the equipment to the defense value or the attack value of the virtual character, or the equipment durability influences the precision when the equipment is used, and when the equipment durability is too low, the equipment cannot be used. The virtual character can exchange economic value for equipment or virtual prop in the game. For example, the life value of the second avatar may decrease at a first rate and the movement rate may decrease for a period of time after the second avatar triggers the virtual prop. For example, within one minute after the second avatar triggers the virtual prop, the second avatar's life value decreases by 10 points per second and the movement speed decreases from 3m/s to 1 m/s.

Exemplary negative side effects may also be: dropping a piece of equipment on the virtual character body randomly; controlling that the virtual character may not move for a period of time; controlling the user interface of the virtual character to be occluded; controlling at least one of the virtual character deaths.

In summary, in the method provided in this embodiment, the virtual item is set in the virtual environment, and when an enemy virtual character passes through the virtual detection line of the virtual item, the virtual item is triggered, so that a negative effect is generated on the enemy virtual character. The user can attack the virtual role by the enemy by placing the virtual prop on the necessary way of the enemy virtual role. The attack does not need to be triggered actively by a user, but is triggered passively by detecting the collision between the enemy virtual character and the virtual detection line by the client, so that the attack operation of the user is simplified, and the human-computer interaction efficiency is improved.

Exemplary, an exemplary embodiment of setting a virtual prop in a virtual environment and an exemplary embodiment of detecting a collision of a second virtual character with a virtual detection line using a ray are given.

Fig. 11 is a flowchart of a method for using a virtual item according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Taking the execution subject of the method as an example of the client running on the terminal shown in fig. 1, the client is a client supporting a virtual environment, and according to the exemplary embodiment shown in fig. 3, step 306 includes steps 3061 to 3064, and step 307 includes step 3071.

Step 3061, in response to the prop use instruction, setting a first component and a second component of the virtual prop in the virtual environment.

In response to the item use instruction, the client sets the first and second components of the virtual item in the virtual environment.

The virtual prop further includes a first component and a second component. The first component and the second component are used for fixing the virtual prop in the virtual environment, and the first component and the second component are also used for connecting the virtual detection line. Illustratively, the top of the first component and the top of the second component are respectively connected with two ends of the virtual detection line, and the bottom of the first component and the bottom of the second component are fixed in the virtual environment. Illustratively, the shape of the first and second members may be arbitrary, e.g., conical, cylindrical, rectangular parallelepiped, hemispherical, spherical, etc. Illustratively, the first and second components may be the same or different in shape. Illustratively, the first and second units each have a connection point, and the connection point is connected to an end of the virtual detection line. For example, when the virtual detection line is a laser line, the laser line is emitted from a connection point of one component to reach a connection point of another component, wherein one connection point is provided with a laser emitter, and the other connection point is provided with a laser receiver. Illustratively, the first and second members are identically shaped and the first and second connection points are located at the same location, or, symmetrically, of the first and second members, respectively.

For example, as shown in fig. 12, the virtual prop includes a cylindrical first member 408, a cylindrical second member 409, and a virtual detection line 410. Wherein, the first member 408 and the second member 409 are vertically placed on the ground, the bottom of the first member 408 and the bottom of the second member 409 are connected to the ground, and the top of the first member 408 and the top of the second member 409 are respectively connected to two ends of the virtual detection line 410. Wherein the virtual detection line 410 is parallel to the ground, and the virtual detection line 410 is higher than the ground by a first height, which is smaller than the height of the virtual character three-dimensional virtual model.

Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 13, step 3061 includes steps 3061-1 and 3061-2.

Step 3061-1, displaying a aiming sight on the virtual environment screen in response to the first road tool use instruction.

In response to the first headwear use instruction, the client displays a sight on the virtual environment screen.

Illustratively, a targeting sight may also be displayed on the user interface of the client, the targeting sight serving to assist the user in targeting a location in the virtual environment. Illustratively, the aiming sight is generally located at the center of the virtual environment screen, and as the virtual character moves within the virtual environment and the user rotates the direction of the virtual character's view, the location at which the aiming sight is aimed within the virtual environment changes. For example, as shown in fig. 7, a cross-shaped aiming sight 411 is displayed on the virtual environment screen.

For example, the aiming sight may be always displayed on the virtual environment screen, or may be displayed on the virtual environment screen after the client receives the first tacker use instruction. The first vehicle uses instructions for displaying the aiming sight. The first track use instruction may also be referred to as a sighting instruction, which may be triggered by a sighting operation. Illustratively, the aiming operation may be the first triggering of a prop use control or the triggering of an aiming control. The embodiment takes the targeting operation as an example to trigger the prop using control, when the user triggers the prop using control for the first time, a first prop using instruction is generated, a targeting sight is displayed on a virtual environment picture, the user can adjust the targeting position of the targeting sight in the virtual environment by controlling the virtual character to move in the virtual environment and adjusting the visual angle of the virtual character, after the adjustment is completed, when the user triggers the prop using control again, a second prop using instruction is generated, and the virtual prop is placed at the targeting position.

Illustratively, when the aiming sight is always displayed on the virtual environment screen, step 3061-1 may instead be that the client displays the aiming sight on the virtual environment screen. At this moment, there is not first stage property instruction of using, and the client can directly place the virtual stage property according to second stage property instruction of using at the aim position.

Step 3061-2, in response to the second prop use instruction, placing a virtual prop at the aiming position of the aiming sight, enabling a first part and a second part of the virtual prop to be respectively located at two sides of the aiming position, fixing the bottom of the first part and the bottom of the second part in a virtual environment, and enabling the virtual detection line to be perpendicular to the aiming direction of the aiming sight.

In response to the second prop use instruction, the client places a virtual prop at the aiming position of the aiming sight.

Illustratively, the manner in which the client places the virtual prop is one-time placement. The client takes the aiming position as the central position of the virtual prop, and the virtual prop is transversely placed in the direction perpendicular to the aiming direction of the virtual character. Namely, the first part and the second part of the virtual prop are symmetrically distributed on two sides of the aiming position, and the virtual detection line is perpendicular to the aiming direction of the first virtual character. Illustratively, the aiming direction of the first virtual character is a shooting direction of a camera model corresponding to the first virtual character. Illustratively, the aiming direction of the first avatar is a direction perpendicular to the virtual environment screen inward. Illustratively, the aiming direction of the first virtual character is directly in front of the viewing direction of the virtual environment view. Namely, when the virtual prop is placed, the virtual prop is transversely placed in front of the first virtual character by taking the aiming position as a central position.

The second prop uses instructions for placing the virtual prop in the virtual environment. Illustratively, the second prop use instruction is generated after the client receives the prop use operation. For example, the prop use operation may be triggering a prop use control, or the prop use operation may be triggering a prop use control a second time. The operation of triggering the prop use control for the first time is a sighting operation.

Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 14, step 3061-2 includes steps 3061-21 through 3061-23.

Step 3061-21, in response to the second prop use instruction, emitting a first straight line from the first space point to the aiming direction, wherein the first straight line intersects the virtual environment at a second space point, and the first space point is a point on the three-dimensional virtual model of the first virtual character.

And responding to the second prop use instruction, and enabling the client to emit a first straight line from the first space point to the aiming direction, wherein the first straight line intersects with the virtual environment at the second space point.

Illustratively, the client, in response to the second prop use instruction, emits a line extending in the direction of aim from a point on the three-dimensional virtual model of the first virtual character, the line intersecting the three-dimensional virtual model of the virtual environment at a second spatial point. For example, the first spatial point may be any point on the three-dimensional virtual model of the first virtual character, e.g., the first spatial point may be a point located in the eyes, head, shoulders of the first virtual character. For example, the position of the first spatial point is determined according to the position of the camera model, and if the camera model is arranged at the head of the first virtual character, the first spatial point is positioned at the head of the first virtual character; if the camera model is located on a shoulder of the first virtual character, the first spatial point is located on the shoulder of the first virtual character.

Illustratively, a straight line emitted from the first space point collides with the three-dimensional virtual model of the virtual environment, and the client acquires collision information after the collision, wherein the collision information includes a collision point, and the collision point is the second space point.

As shown in fig. 12, the first virtual character 405 has a first spatial point 412 on its head, and a straight line is projected from the first spatial point 412 in the aiming direction 414 to intersect the virtual environment at a second spatial point 413.

For example, the second spatial point and the aiming position may be the same position point or different position points.

Illustratively, the collision information acquired by the client further includes information of a three-dimensional virtual model collided with a straight line, the client judges whether the three-dimensional virtual model is a model of a virtual environment according to the information of the three-dimensional virtual model, and if the three-dimensional virtual model is not the model of the virtual environment, the client determines that the virtual prop cannot be placed and gives a prompt that the virtual prop cannot be placed. If the three-dimensional model of the virtual environment is collided by the straight line, the client detects whether an obstacle exists near the point, and the detection method can be as follows: respectively emitting two detection rays to two directions vertical to the aiming direction by using a third space point right above the collision point, judging whether the detection rays collide with the three-dimensional virtual model, and if so, judging that an obstacle exists; if the three-dimensional virtual model is not collided, no obstacle exists. The height of the third space point from the second space point is determined according to the height of the virtual detection ray from the ground, and the length of the detection ray is determined according to the length of the virtual detection line. If no obstacle exists, the second space point can be used for placing the virtual prop, and if the obstacle exists, the fact that the virtual prop cannot be placed is prompted.

For example, the client may further obtain an inclination angle of the three-dimensional virtual model of the virtual environment in the direction perpendicular to the aiming direction according to the collision point, and then adjust the inclination angle of the virtual prop in steps 3061-23 according to the inclination angle of the virtual environment, so as to place the virtual prop in the virtual environment in parallel with the ground.

Step 3061-22, obtain a first location of the first virtual character.

The client acquires a first position where the first virtual role is located.

Illustratively, the first location is a location of the first avatar in the virtual environment. For example, the first location may be a two-dimensional coordinate of the first avatar on a horizontal plane of the virtual environment. Illustratively, the first location may also be a three-dimensional coordinate of a center location of a three-dimensional virtual model of the first virtual character.

For example, as shown in fig. 12, the client obtains a first location 415 at which the first avatar 405 is located.

Step 3061-23, in response to a linear distance between the first location and the second spatial point being less than a distance threshold, placing a virtual prop at the aiming location of the aiming sight, such that the first component and the second component are respectively located at two sides of the aiming location, a bottom of the first component and a bottom of the second component are fixed in a virtual environment, and the virtual detection line is perpendicular to the aiming direction of the aiming sight.

In response to a straight-line distance between the first location and the second spatial point being less than a distance threshold, the client places a virtual prop at an aiming location of the aiming sight.

Illustratively, the client calculates a linear distance between the first location and the second spatial point. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, the client calculates a linear distance from the first location 415 to the second spatial point 413. Illustratively, the linear distance is a linear distance of two points in a horizontal direction, i.e. a distance from a projected point of the first position on a horizontal plane to a projected point of the second spatial point on the horizontal plane.

If the straight-line distance is smaller than the distance threshold value, the first virtual character can place a virtual prop at the aiming position; if the straight-line distance is greater than the distance threshold, the first virtual character may not place a virtual prop at the target location.

For example, the virtual prop may be placed at the farthest distance (distance threshold), for example, the first virtual character may place the virtual prop within 10 meters of itself, and if it exceeds 10 meters, the first virtual prop needs to approach the target position to place the virtual prop. Illustratively, the distance threshold may be arbitrarily set.

Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 15, if the aiming sight 411 is aimed at a location that is relatively far from the first virtual character, a prompt 416 "too far away and not placeable" is displayed on the user interface when the user triggers the prop use control 402.

For example, after the virtual item is placed in the virtual environment, the client detects whether a virtual character of an enemy camp collides with the virtual detection line in a ray detection manner.

Step 3062, at least one virtual detection line is emitted from the first component to the second component.

The client transmits at least one virtual detection line from the first component to the second component.

Illustratively, the virtual detection lines in steps 3062 through 3064 are rays for ray detection that are not visible to the user. Illustratively, the virtual detection lines in steps 3062 through 3064 may also be rendered with special effects as user-visible lines.

Illustratively, at least one virtual detection line is periodically emitted between the first part and the second part of the virtual prop, and is used for detecting the collision of the second virtual character with the virtual detection line. For example, the virtual detection line may be emitted from the first component to the second component in a single direction, or emitted from the second component to the first component; the light may be emitted from the first member to the second member and emitted from the second member to the first member in both directions. For example, there may be multiple virtual detection lines emitted in each direction.

Illustratively, the virtual detection lines are periodically and continuously emitted, that is, the parts of the virtual props are emitted one virtual detection line at intervals. In order to improve the detection accuracy of the virtual detection lines, the emission cycle of the virtual detection lines may be set to a short cycle.

For example, as shown in fig. 16, the virtual prop emits two virtual detection lines from the first member 408 to the second member 409, and the virtual prop emits one virtual detection line from the second member 409 to the first member 408.

Step 3063, at least one virtual detection line is emitted from the second component toward the first component.

The client transmits at least one virtual detection line from the second component to the first component.

Step 3064, at least one virtual detection line is emitted from the first component to the second component and at least one virtual detection line is emitted from the second component to the first component.

The client transmits at least one virtual detection line from the first component to the second component, and transmits at least one virtual detection line from the second component to the first component.

Step 3071, in response to the collision between the at least one virtual detection line and the three-dimensional virtual model of the second virtual character, the virtual prop is changed into an activated state, and the second virtual character is controlled to be subjected to the negative effect of the virtual prop.

And in response to the collision of the at least one virtual detection line with the three-dimensional virtual model of the second virtual character, the client changes the virtual prop into an activated state and controls the second virtual character to be subjected to the negative effect of the virtual prop.

For example, a virtual prop may be triggered by any virtual detection ray colliding with the three-dimensional virtual model of the second virtual character. For example, as shown in fig. 16, a virtual detection line emitted from the second member 409 collides with the second virtual character 406, and the second virtual character 406 triggers a virtual prop.

For example, after the virtual detection line collides with the three-dimensional virtual model, collision information may also be acquired. The collision information comprises information of a three-dimensional virtual model, the client judges whether a virtual character of enemy battle collides with a virtual detection line according to the information of the three-dimensional virtual model, and if so, the client triggers the virtual prop; if not, the virtual prop is not triggered.

For example, the virtual character of the first lineup, the virtual carrier, and the three-dimensional virtual model of the virtual prop do not trigger the virtual prop when colliding with the virtual detection line. For example, if the virtual detection line collides with the virtual character of the first camp, a gain effect may be exerted on the virtual character of the first camp, for example, the state value of the virtual character of the first camp is increased. For example, if the virtual vehicle carries a virtual character of enemy camp, the three-dimensional virtual model of the virtual vehicle may trigger the virtual prop, or may not trigger the virtual prop. The client can obtain the current bearing state of the virtual carrier according to the information of the virtual carrier in the collision information, and judge whether the virtual character for battle is taking the virtual carrier.

In summary, the method provided in this embodiment provides a method for placing a virtual prop in a virtual environment, and the method includes obtaining a placement position of the virtual prop by using the aiming sight, and determining a placement direction of the virtual prop according to the aiming direction, so as to quickly place the virtual prop, so that the first virtual character can place the virtual prop in the virtual environment through one operation, thereby simplifying user operation, improving efficiency of placing the virtual prop by the user, and improving human-computer interaction efficiency.

According to the method provided by the embodiment, the straight-line distance from the aiming position to the first virtual character position is detected, when the first virtual character is too far away from the aiming position, the user is prompted that the virtual prop cannot be placed, and the situation that the user places the virtual prop randomly in a virtual environment to influence normal activities of other virtual characters in the virtual environment is avoided.

According to the method provided by the embodiment, the ray detection mode is utilized to detect the collision between the virtual character of the enemy camp and the virtual detection line, so that the collision between the virtual character and the virtual detection line can be rapidly and efficiently detected, and the trigger sensitivity of the virtual prop is improved.

Illustratively, an exemplary embodiment is given in which a virtual item has a limited time of use.

Fig. 17 is a flowchart of a method for using a virtual item according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The execution subject of the method is exemplified by a client running on the terminal shown in fig. 1, the client being a client supporting a virtual environment. Based on the exemplary embodiment shown in fig. 3, the method further comprises step 308 and step 309.

And 308, responding to the successful placement of the virtual prop, and calculating the placed time length of the virtual prop.

And responding to the successful placement of the virtual prop, the client calculates the placed time length of the virtual prop.

Illustratively, when a first virtual character successfully places a virtual item in the virtual environment, the client starts to calculate the placed duration of the virtual item. The placed duration is used to describe the length of time that the virtual item is placed in the virtual environment.

Illustratively, the virtual prop can be triggered for multiple times to generate multiple action effects, and the triggering times do not influence the effectiveness or the failure of the virtual prop.

Step 309, in response to the placed time length meeting the time threshold, determining that the virtual item is invalid.

In response to the placed duration satisfying the time threshold, the client determines that the virtual prop is invalid.

For example, if the time length of the virtual item placed in the virtual environment exceeds the time threshold, the virtual item may be disabled, and the virtual item may disappear from the virtual environment regardless of whether the virtual item is triggered. The time threshold may be any value, for example, the time threshold may be 5 minutes, that is, the virtual item exists in the virtual environment for at most 5 minutes, and the virtual item automatically disappears after 5 minutes.

In summary, in the method provided by this embodiment, if the time length of the placed virtual item satisfies the time threshold, the virtual item is controlled to be invalid, so that the virtual item disappears from the virtual environment, on one hand, the virtual item can be triggered many times, and on the other hand, the method can prevent the virtual item in the virtual environment from being too many, which affects the normal movement of the virtual character in the virtual environment.

Illustratively, an exemplary embodiment of a virtual item is presented as a skill that a user may select at the beginning of an encounter.

Fig. 18 is a flowchart of a method for using a virtual prop according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The execution subject of the method is exemplified by a client running on the terminal shown in fig. 1, the client being a client supporting a virtual environment. Based on the exemplary embodiment shown in fig. 3, the method further comprises steps 301 to 304.

Step 301, displaying a second user interface, where the second user interface includes at least one skill and at least one skill selection control, the at least one skill includes a virtual prop, and the at least one skill selection control includes a virtual prop selection control corresponding to the virtual prop.

The client displays a second user interface.

For example, after entering the game, the virtual character displays a second user interface (skill selection interface) on which the user can select the skill used by the game. The skills are only used in the game, and the next game needs to be selected again when starting. Illustratively, where at least one skill is provided in the second user interface, multiple avatars of the same row may not possess the repeated skill, e.g., a first skill has already been acquired by a first avatar, and other avatars of the first row may no longer acquire the first skill.

The skill selection control is used for receiving a selection instruction of generating skill by a selection operation of a user. Illustratively, one skill corresponds to one skill selection control.

For example, as shown in fig. 19, five skills are displayed on the second user interface 417: the chip comprises a hard chip, an interference chip, a confusion chip, a control chip and a trap chip. The trap chip corresponds to the virtual item, and the user may select the trap chip 418 and then click the determination control 419 to generate a selection instruction for selecting the virtual item.

Step 302, responding to a selection instruction generated by triggering a virtual item selection control, and sending a skill selection request to a server, wherein the skill selection request comprises a first virtual character and a virtual item.

And responding to a selection instruction generated by triggering the virtual prop selection control, and sending a skill selection request to the server by the client.

Illustratively, after a user triggers a virtual item selection control, a selection instruction is generated, the selection instruction comprises information of a virtual item selected by a first virtual character, a client sends a skill selection request to a server according to the selection instruction, and the skill selection request is used for requesting the server to acquire the skill of the virtual item for the first virtual character.

Illustratively, after receiving a skill selection request sent by a client, a server determines whether a virtual character in a first battle has a person to select a virtual prop, if the person has selected the virtual prop, the first virtual character cannot be selected any more, and if no person has selected the virtual prop, the first virtual character acquires the skill of the virtual prop.

Step 303, in response to receiving a selection failure instruction sent by the server, prompting that the virtual item cannot be selected, where the selection failure instruction is sent by the server after determining that the first virtual character is not a virtual character of the first selected virtual item in the first lineup.

In response to receiving a selection failure instruction sent by the server, the client prompts that the virtual prop cannot be selected.

For example, if the virtual character has acquired the skill of the virtual item in the first lineup, the server may send a failure selection instruction to the client, and the client prompts, according to the failure selection instruction, that the skill of the virtual item cannot be selected.

And step 304, in response to receiving a selection success instruction sent by the server, determining the virtual item as the skill of the first virtual character, wherein the selection success instruction is sent after the server determines that the first virtual character is the virtual character of the first selected virtual item in the first lineup.

In response to receiving a selection success instruction sent by the server, the client determines the virtual item as a skill of the first virtual character.

For example, if there is no virtual character in the first lineup that obtains the skill of the virtual item, the server may send a selection success instruction to the client, and the client determines the virtual item as the skill of the first virtual character.

For example, after the skill of the virtual prop is acquired, the skill has a cooling time, the first virtual character cannot use the virtual prop during the cooling time, and after the cooling time is over, the first virtual character can use the virtual prop.

For example, as shown in fig. 20, when the skill of the virtual item is just acquired by the first virtual character, item usage control 402 is displayed in gray, and at this time, item usage control 402 may not receive a trigger operation, that is, the virtual item cannot be used. After the cooling time is over, as shown in fig. 5, prop usage control 402 may be highlighted, and at this time, prop usage control 402 may receive a trigger operation, that is, the virtual prop may be used.

For example, after the virtual prop is used once, the virtual prop enters the cooling time again. For example, the duration of the cooling time may be set arbitrarily, and the cooling time may be 60 seconds, for example.

And step 508, releasing the skill at the aiming position by the client, and placing the laser trap.

In step 509, the client determines whether the enemy touches the laser trap. If yes, go to step 511; otherwise, go to step 510.

At step 510, the client waits for an enemy to trigger a laser trap.

In step 511, the client controls the laser trap to show up and the enemy is harmed and slowed down.

Illustratively, the client turns the laser trap into an active state, visible to the enemy.

Step 512, the client judges whether the use time of the laser trap is finished, and if so, the step 513 is carried out; otherwise, go back to step 511.

And step 513, the client controls the laser trap to disappear.
