Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

The embodiment of the application provides a control method, a control device, a control terminal and a storage medium of a virtual role.

The control device of the virtual character may be specifically integrated in an electronic device, and the electronic device may be a terminal, a server, or other devices. The terminal can be a mobile phone, a tablet Computer, an intelligent bluetooth device, a notebook Computer, or a Personal Computer (PC), and the like; the server may be a single server or a server cluster composed of a plurality of servers.

In some embodiments, the control device of the virtual character may also be integrated in a plurality of electronic devices, for example, the control device of the virtual character may be integrated in a plurality of servers, and the control method of the virtual character of the present application is implemented by the plurality of servers.

In some embodiments, the server may also be implemented in the form of a terminal.

For example, the electronic device may be a mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal may display a user operation interface and a picture in which a user controls an interaction of a user character in a virtual scene through the user operation interface; acquiring the current state of a user role in a virtual scene; determining a target subordinate role among user subordinate roles based on the current state, the user subordinate roles being virtual roles subordinate to the user roles; determining the role type of a target subordinate role and the role type of a current subordinate role, wherein the current subordinate role is a user subordinate role existing in a virtual scene at the current moment; when the role type of the current subordinate role is different from the role type of the target subordinate role, displaying a switching control in a user operation interface; and responding to the triggering operation aiming at the switching control, and switching the current subordinate role to the target subordinate role in the virtual scene.

The following are detailed below. The numbers in the following examples are not intended to limit the order of preference of the examples.

In this embodiment, a method for controlling a virtual character is provided, and as shown in fig. 1a, a specific flow of the method for controlling a virtual character may be as follows:

101. and displaying a user operation interface and a picture for controlling the interaction of the user role in the virtual scene through the user operation interface by the user.

A User Interface (UI) is a medium for interaction and information exchange between a system and a User, and it realizes conversion between an internal form of information and a human-acceptable form. A switching control can be displayed in the user operation interface, and the switching control can be expressed in the forms of buttons, pictures, characters, text boxes and the like; the trigger operation may include a click trigger, a long press trigger, a key trigger, and the like.

The virtual scene is a computer-simulated digital scene, and can be formed by virtual characters, buildings, terrains, animals and plants and the like. The virtual scene may include a game scene, a simulation scene, and the like.

A user role is a virtual role played by a user that can be manipulated by a real person of the user, e.g., the user can manipulate the user role to interact with a virtual scene, e.g., the user can manipulate the user role "i" to move, hunt, reconnaissance, etc. in a virtual scene.

102. And acquiring the current state of the user role in the virtual scene.

The current state may include the external environment state at the current time and the state of the character itself.

The external environment state refers to a state of a virtual environment around the user character, and may include the number of enemy characters around the user character, the number of teammate characters, and the like.

The enemy character is a virtual character which is different from the user character in battle, and the user character can interact with the enemy character, for example, the user character and the enemy character can be enemy to each other, the enemy character and the user character can attack each other, and the like.

Similarly, a teammate character is a virtual character that is a same battle as a user character, and the user character may interact with the teammate character, for example, the user character and the teammate character may cooperate with each other, such as the user character may treat the teammate character, and so on.

The role state refers to the role state of the user role itself, and may include a role blood volume value, a physical strength value, and the like of the user role.

For example, in some embodiments, the current state may include an external environment state, the external environment state may include a number of hostile characters, and step 102 may include the steps of:

and detecting the number of enemy roles in the area to be detected, wherein the enemy roles are virtual roles which are different from the user roles in battle.

The area to be measured is any area in the virtual scene, and technical reasons in the art can set the area to be measured according to actual application requirements, and the area to be measured can be a specific virtual scene, for example: a particular game copy scene may also be a particular region in a virtual scene, such as: a virtual scene area within a preset range with a user role as a center; the region to be measured may be a two-dimensional geometric region or a three-dimensional geometric region. For example, the region to be measured may be a two-dimensional circle, square, hexagon, or the like; as another example, the region to be measured may be a three-dimensional sphere, cube, cone, or the like.

Referring to fig. 1b, assuming that only the enemy character 3 is in the area to be measured, and the enemy character 1, the enemy character 2, and the enemy character 4 are outside the area to be measured, it may be detected that the number of the enemy characters in the area to be measured is 1.

In some embodiments, the area to be measured may be a two-dimensional circle, and therefore, the step "determining the area to be measured according to the current position of the user character in the virtual scene" may include the following steps:

acquiring the current position of a user role in a virtual scene;

For example, referring to fig. 1b, a circle can be made in the virtual earth surface of the virtual scene with the current position of the user role as the center of the circle and the preset radius, so as to obtain a circular region to be measured.

103. Based on the current state, a target subordinate role is determined among user subordinate roles, the user subordinate roles being virtual roles subordinate to the user role.

A subordinate role is a virtual role subordinate to a user role, the subordinate role having the same battle as the user role. For example, the subordinate role may be a summons, pets, servings, etc. of the user role.

In some embodiments, the slave Character may be a Non-Player Character (NPC), which refers to a game Character that is not directly manipulated by a real Player. For example, the subordinate characters may be human characters, humanoid characters, biomimetic human characters, animal and plant characters, magic creature characters, robotic characters, and the like.

In some embodiments, the user may give instructions to the subordinate character to instruct the subordinate character to perform corresponding actions, so as to indirectly control the subordinate character, and the actions may be preset in the program. For example, the user may indicate that the subordinate character attacks an enemy character surrounding the user character, follows the user character, and so forth.

In some embodiments, the subordinate characters may also automatically perform actions that were previously programmed to assist the user character in interacting with the hostile character. For example, a subordinate character may automatically attack an adversary character around a user character. In some embodiments, the summons may also have character skills and character attributes, such as offensive, armor value, blood volume, stamina, and the like.

In some embodiments, the current state may include an external environment state, the external environment state may include a number of hostile characters, and step 103 may include the steps of:

The subordinate role may have a role type set in advance according to a requirement, and in some embodiments, the role type may include multiple preset types, for example, the role type may include a first preset type and a second preset type.

The first range may be a numerical range set in advance according to an actual application, or may be a numerical range set by a user. In some embodiments, the first range may be preset to (0, 1 ].

The second range may be a preset numerical range or a numerical range set by a user. In some embodiments, the second range may be preset to (1, + ∞).

In some embodiments, a first preset type of subordinate character may interact with 1 to N hostile characters at a time, and a second preset type of subordinate character may interact with N to infinity hostile characters at a time. Wherein N is a positive integer.

For example, in some embodiments, a first preset type of subordinate character may interact with one enemy character at a time, and a second preset type of subordinate character may interact with more than 1 enemy character at a time.

For example, in some embodiments, a first preset type of subordinate character may be a single offensive type of pet, and a second preset type of subordinate character may be a crowd offensive type of pet.

Wherein, in some embodiments, a group attack type pet may have Area of effect (AOE) skills, which is a game term referring to game skills that are effective over a range and can act on multiple target objects. For example, a group-attacking pet may be one having AOE skills [ storm ], [ fire sea ], [ smoke shell ], and the like. Accordingly, in some embodiments, a single-attack pet may have a single skill, which is a game term that refers to game skills that are applied to only a single target object. For example, a single-attack pet may have individual skills [ pursuing arrow ], [ individual payment instrument ], [ poison dart ], and the like.

In some embodiments, a user may manipulate a user role to generate a subordinate role in a virtual scene, for example, the user may manipulate the user role to trigger the subordinate role to generate a prop, so as to generate a subordinate role corresponding to the subordinate role in the virtual scene; for another example, the user may release the skill by manipulating the user role, so as to generate the subordinate role corresponding to the subordinate role generation prop in the virtual scene.

For example, a user can open a virtual backpack of a user role, find a calling prop in the virtual backpack, and after triggering the calling prop, generate a calling object corresponding to the calling prop in a virtual scene; for another example, a user manipulates a user character to apply a call, thereby generating the call in a virtual scene.

In some embodiments, one or more subordinate roles of a user role in a virtual scene may exist simultaneously.

In this embodiment, when the number of enemy roles in the area to be measured falls within the first range, the first preset type of subordinate role can be automatically generated in the virtual scene, so that the operation steps are simplified, the operation amount of the user is reduced, and the generation efficiency of the subordinate role is improved.

For example, when the area to be detected has only 1 enemy character, a single-attack type pet can be automatically summoned in the virtual scene, and the single-attack type pet can assist the user character to attack the enemy character.

In some scenarios, the user has already summoned a group attack pet, and when the area to be tested has only 1 enemy character, a single attack pet is needed to assist the user character in fighting, so in some embodiments, a single attack pet may be summoned in the virtual scenario.

In some embodiments, the role types may further include a third preset type.

In some embodiments, the current state may comprise a character self state, the character self state comprising a character blood value, and step 103 may comprise the steps of:

The blood volume threshold may be a preset threshold or a threshold set by the user. In some embodiments, the blood volume threshold may be preset to 50.

In some embodiments, a subordinate character of a third preset type may interact with the user character, for example, in some embodiments, the third preset type may be a treatment type, and the subordinate character of the treatment type may be treated for the user character such that the blood volume value of the user character is increased.

For example, in some embodiments, a third preset type of subordinate character may continue to reply with a certain amount of blood value for a user character over a period of time by applying skill [ healing ].

In a preferred embodiment, determining the target subordinate role in the user subordinate roles according to the current state includes acquiring game data of a user account to which the user role belongs, acquiring a user subordinate role list which the user account is authorized to use, and determining the target subordinate role from the user subordinate role list according to the current state.

104. And determining the role type of the target subordinate role and the role type of the current subordinate role, wherein the current subordinate role is a user subordinate role existing in the virtual scene at the current moment.

Role type is a parameter used to characterize a certain attribute of a role, such as: the subordinate roles can be divided into a single attack type and a group attack type according to whether the subordinate roles can attack a plurality of enemy roles simultaneously; for example: the characters can be divided into therapeutic characters, defense characters, attack characters and the like according to the skill attributes of the main virtual skills of the subordinate characters. The same subordinate role can be attributed to different categories, such as: a subordinate role belongs to a single offensive role and also belongs to a therapeutic role.

Each subordinate role can also be regarded as an independent type, so that the types of all subordinate roles are different, and the implementation in the subsequent scheme is convenient, and the switching control is provided as long as the target subordinate role and the current subordinate role are not the same.

In some embodiments, the user may be automatically, user-unaware switched slave roles, so that

steps

105, 106 need not be performed after step 104, and the following steps may be performed directly:

For example, when the number of enemy characters in the area to be measured is 1, the character type of the target subordinate character is a single attack type, and if a current subordinate character of an attack type already exists in the virtual scene, the attack type subordinate character can be directly and automatically eliminated in the virtual scene, and the single attack type subordinate character can be generated in the virtual scene.

For example, when there are 7 enemy characters in the area to be tested, the character type of the target subordinate character is attack type, and the single attack type current subordinate character exists in the virtual scene, the single attack type subordinate character can be directly and automatically eliminated in the virtual scene, and an attack type subordinate character is generated in the virtual scene, and the attack type pet can assist the user character in attacking the 7 enemy characters.

Referring to steps 105-106, to enhance the user experience, in some embodiments, a switch control may be provided for the user to control the switching of subordinate roles, rather than automatically switching subordinate roles imperceptibly for the user.

105. And when the role type of the current subordinate role is different from the role type of the target subordinate role, displaying a switching control in the user operation interface.

In some embodiments, the step of "displaying a switching control in the user operation interface" may be displaying a role identification of the current subordinate role, a role identification of a subordinate role of the second preset type, and a switching control in the user operation interface.

In some embodiments, in order to improve the user experience and make the user perceive the role identity of the subordinate role, the role identifier may include a role identity identifier and a role type identifier, the role identity identifier may be used to characterize the role identity of the virtual role, and the role type identifier may be used to characterize the role type of the virtual role.

The role identifier is an identifier for representing the identity of the subordinate role, and the role identifier may be represented in the form of symbols, characters, images, and the like, for example, the role identifier may be the name, avatar, art design drawing, and the like of the subordinate role.

For example, referring to fig. 1c, the role identifier 120 can include a role identifier 1200 and a role type identifier 1201, wherein the role identifier 1200 characterizes that the role identifier of the subordinate role is cat, and the role type identifier 1201 characterizes that the role type of the subordinate role is attack type.

106. And responding to the triggering operation aiming at the switching control, and switching the current subordinate role to the target subordinate role in the virtual scene.

In some embodiments, step 106 may further include the steps of:

and canceling the display switching control and the role identification of the current subordinate role on the user operation interface.

In some embodiments, step 106 may include the steps of:

eliminating a current subordinate role in the virtual scene;

a target slave role is generated in the virtual scene.

For example, referring to fig. 1d, in some embodiments, the attack pet 11 of the user role already exists in the virtual scene, so the role identifier 110 of the attack pet 11 can be displayed in the user operation interface; when the area to be tested only has 1 enemy role 10, the switching control 01 and the role identifier 120 of the single attack pet 12 can be displayed in the UI interface, and the user can trigger the switching control 01 by clicking to generate the single attack pet 12 of the user role in the virtual scene.

In some embodiments, after the step "remove the current subordinate role in the virtual scene", the switching control may be further canceled from being displayed on the user operation interface, and the role identification of the current subordinate role may be canceled from being displayed.

For example, referring to fig. 1e, in some embodiments, if a pet 11 is a pet belonging to a user role already existing in the virtual scene, the role identifier 110 of the pet 11 may be displayed in the user operation interface; referring to fig. 1f, when the area to be tested has only 1 enemy character 10, the switching control 01 and the character identifier 120 of the attack pet 12 can be displayed in the UI interface; referring to fig. 1g, when the user clicks the switching control 01, the attack pet 12 of the user role may be generated in the virtual scene, the existing attack pet 11 may be eliminated in the virtual scene, and the switching control 01 and the role identifier 110 may be eliminated from being displayed on the user operation interface.

In some embodiments, step 106 may also be to generate a target subordinate role in the virtual scene in response to a triggering operation for switching the control, and to retain the current subordinate role.

For example, referring to fig. 1h, a crowd pet 11 with a user role already exists in the virtual scene, and when the area to be tested only has 1 enemy role 10, a switching control 01 may be displayed in the UI interface, and the user may trigger the switching control 01 by clicking to call a single attack pet 12 in the virtual scene.

As can be seen from the above, the embodiment of the application can display the user operation interface and the picture of the user controlling the interaction of the user role in the virtual scene through the user operation interface; acquiring the current state of a user role in a virtual scene; determining a target subordinate role among user subordinate roles based on the current state, the user subordinate roles being virtual roles subordinate to the user roles; determining the role type of a target subordinate role and the role type of a current subordinate role, wherein the current subordinate role is a user subordinate role existing in a virtual scene at the current moment; when the role type of the current subordinate role is different from the role type of the target subordinate role, displaying a switching control in a user operation interface; and responding to the triggering operation aiming at the switching control, and switching the current subordinate role to the target subordinate role in the virtual scene.

Therefore, the scheme can automatically acquire the current state of the user role in the virtual scene, and determine which subordinate role is needed currently to assist the user role according to the current state, so that the user role is switched to a proper subordinate role in the virtual scene to assist. Therefore, the efficiency of the control method of the virtual role can be improved.

The method described in the above embodiments is further described in detail below.

The role generation scheme provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to various electronic game scenes.

For example, in the present embodiment, the method of the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail by taking the example of switching pets among game copies.

The game copies are virtual scenes in the game, which may be understood as game slots, and different game copies may have different numbers of monster characters. In order to improve the user experience and avoid frequent switching between single attack pets and attack pets due to the fact that the player enters copies with different monster numbers, the number K of monsters around the player character operated by the player can be detected each time the player enters the copies.

If the copy already contains the single attack type pet called by the player character, the character identification of the single attack type pet is displayed in the UI interface, and if K >1, a switching button and the character identification of the attack type pet are displayed in the UI interface.

If a pet attack type that the player character calls has already existed in the copy, the character identifier of the pet attack type is displayed on the UI interface, and if K is 1, the switching button and the character identifier of the pet attack type are displayed on the UI interface.

The player can switch the single attack type pet and the group attack type pet in the copy by clicking the switching button.

For example, referring to FIG. 2a, in some embodiments, when the number of monsters around the player character is 1, and the player has summoned a single offensive pet, the character identification of the single offensive pet is displayed in the UI interface, including the pet avatar and pet type.

Referring to fig. 2b, when the number of monsters around the player character is 4, the character identification of the offensive pet is displayed in the UI interface, and the switch button is displayed. The player may click the switch button.

Referring to fig. 2c, after the player clicks the switch button, the previously summoned single offensive pet may be eliminated in the copy and the offensive pet may be summoned, and the character identifier of the single offensive pet and the switch button may be eliminated from being displayed in the UI interface, and only the character identifier of the offensive pet may be displayed.
