The terminal comprises a touch display screen and a processor, wherein the touch display screen is used for presenting a graphical user interface and receiving an operation instruction generated by a user acting on the graphical user interface. When a user operates the graphical user interface through the touch display screen, the graphical user interface can control the local content of the terminal by responding to the received operation instruction, and can also control the content of the opposite-end server by responding to the received operation instruction. For example, the user-generated operational instructions for the graphical user interface include instructions for launching the gaming application, and the processor is configured to launch the gaming application after receiving the user-provided instructions for launching the gaming application. Further, the processor is configured to render and draw a graphical user interface associated with the game on the touch-sensitive display screen. A touch display screen is a multi-touch-sensitive screen capable of sensing touch or slide operations performed simultaneously by a plurality of points on the screen. The user performs touch operation on the graphical user interface by using a finger, and when the graphical user interface detects the touch operation, the graphical user interface controls different virtual objects in the graphical user interface of the game to perform actions corresponding to the touch operation. For example, the game may be any one of a leisure game, an action game, a role playing game, a strategy game, a sports game, a educational game, and the like. Wherein the game may comprise a virtual scene of the game drawn on a graphical user interface. Further, one or more virtual objects, such as virtual characters, controlled by a user (or player) may be included in the virtual scene of the game. In addition, one or more obstacles, such as rails, ravines, walls, etc., may also be included in the virtual scene of the game to limit movement of the virtual object, e.g., to limit movement of the one or more objects to a particular area within the virtual scene. Optionally, the virtual scene of the game also includes one or more elements, such as skills, scores, character health status, energy, etc., to provide assistance to the player, provide virtual services, increase scores related to the player's performance, etc. In addition, the graphical user interface may also present one or more indicators to provide indication information to the player. For example, a game may include a player controlled virtual object and one or more other virtual objects (such as enemy characters). In one embodiment, one or more other virtual objects are controlled by other players of the game. For example, one or more other virtual objects may be computer controlled, such as a robot using an Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm, implementing a human-machine engagement mode. For example, virtual objects possess various skills or capabilities that a game player uses to achieve a goal. For example, the virtual object may possess one or more weapons, props, tools, etc. that may be used to eliminate other objects from the game. Such skills or capabilities may be activated by the player of the game using one of a plurality of preset touch operations with the touch display screen of the terminal. The processor may be configured to present a corresponding game screen in response to an operation instruction generated by a touch operation of the user.

101. And displaying a game interface, wherein the game interface is used for displaying a virtual scene and a plurality of virtual roles in the virtual scene, and the game interface is a game interface for controlling the virtual roles.

In the embodiment of the application, the game interface is displayed with a virtual scene, and the virtual scene is a virtual environment displayed (or provided) when an application program runs on the terminal. The virtual environment can be a simulation environment for the real world, a semi-simulation and semi-fictional three-dimensional environment, or a pure fictional three-dimensional environment. The virtual environment is used for virtual environment combat between at least two virtual characters, and virtual resources available for the at least two virtual characters are provided in the virtual environment. The method comprises the steps that a virtual scene is displayed in a game interface, one or more virtual characters are displayed in the virtual scene, and the virtual characters can be a master virtual character, can be a same-camp virtual character which camps with the master virtual character, and can also be an hostile-camp virtual character which hostile with the master virtual character, wherein the same-camp virtual character is a virtual character which camps the same as the master virtual character; the hostile virtual character is a virtual character that is not co-operating with the master virtual character. Master virtual characters, co-camping virtual characters, and hostile camping virtual characters may coexist in a virtual scene, which is illustrated herein and not by way of limitation.

For example, referring to fig. 3, a virtual scene is displayed in the game interface, in which a plurality of virtual characters are displayed, the virtual characters may include a master virtual character, a co-camp virtual character, and a hostile virtual character, in which the master virtual character, the co-camp virtual character, and the hostile virtual character coexist.

A virtual character (or hero) refers to a movable object in a virtual environment. A virtual character refers to a virtual object in a game that a user or player controls through a terminal. In the embodiment of the application, the main control virtual character refers to a virtual object in a game controlled by a current user through a terminal, namely, a virtual character controlled by a local end user. The virtual character that camps with the master virtual character or the hostile virtual character that hostile with the master virtual character refers to: other users control virtual objects in the game through terminals, namely virtual roles controlled by other end users.

For example, referring to fig. 5, when the first terminal detects that the master virtual character is knocked down by the hostile virtual character, that is, the master virtual character is in a knocked down state, at this time, the hostile virtual character that knocks down the master virtual character is determined to be a candidate virtual character, and a character selection instruction is generated. And the first terminal responds to the role selection instruction, and when the number of candidate virtual roles for defeating the main control virtual role is determined to be one, the candidate virtual role is determined to be a target virtual role, an aiming mark is displayed on the game interface, and the aiming mark is displayed on the target virtual role in a superposition manner.

Specifically, the step of determining a target virtual character from candidate virtual characters in response to a character selection instruction includes:

and determining the target virtual character from the plurality of candidate virtual characters according to the attack values of the candidate virtual characters.

For example, referring to fig. 6, when the first terminal detects that the master virtual character is knocked down by the hostile virtual character, that is, the master virtual character is in a knocked down state, at this time, the hostile virtual character that knocks down the master virtual character is determined to be a candidate virtual character, and a character selection instruction is generated. And the first terminal responds to the role selection instruction, and acquires the attack value of each candidate virtual role in the candidate virtual roles when the number of the candidate virtual roles for defeating the main control virtual role is determined to be a plurality of. The first terminal may determine, from among the plurality of candidate virtual characters, a candidate virtual character having a highest attack value on the master virtual character, specifically, a life value of the master virtual character is 100, when the master virtual character is knocked out, an attack value of the hostile virtual character a on the master virtual character is 80, and an attack value of the hostile virtual character B on the master virtual character is 20, determine that the candidate virtual character having the highest attack value on the master virtual character is hostile virtual character a, then determine the candidate virtual character (hostile virtual character a) having the highest attack value as a target virtual character, display an aiming identifier on the game interface, and superimposedly display the aiming identifier on the hostile virtual character a.

Optionally, the step of determining the target virtual character from the candidate virtual characters in response to the character selection instruction, the method includes:

If the number of candidate virtual characters is a plurality of, determining a target virtual character from the plurality of candidate virtual characters based on the character class of the master virtual character and the character class of the candidate virtual character.

For example, when the first terminal detects that the master virtual character is defeated by the hostile virtual character, that is, the master virtual character is in a defeated state, at this time, the hostile virtual character defeating the master virtual character is determined to be a candidate virtual character, and a character selection instruction is generated. And the first terminal responds to the role selection instruction, and acquires the role category of the master virtual role and the role category of each candidate virtual role in the plurality of candidate virtual roles when the number of candidate virtual roles for defeating the master virtual role is determined to be a plurality of. The first terminal may determine a candidate virtual character identical to the character class of the master virtual character from among the plurality of candidate virtual characters, and then determine the candidate virtual character identical to the character class of the master virtual character as the target virtual character.

The character class is a class obtained by classifying the virtual character based on its own attribute. For example, character classes can be classified into attack classes and defense classes, the terminals are provided with a life threshold and an attack force threshold, and the common characteristics of the virtual characters in the attack classes are that: all are virtual roles whose life values are below the life threshold and whose offensiveness is above the Yu Gongji force threshold. Whereas the common features of the virtual roles in the defensive category are: all are virtual roles whose life values are above a life threshold and whose offensiveness is below an offensiveness threshold. Or the character categories can be divided into a main attack category and an auxiliary category, and the common characteristics of the virtual characters in the main attack category are as follows: all game skills of the virtual character are attack type skills. And the common feature of the avatars in the auxiliary category is: all skills of the virtual character are of a treatment or defending type, wherein the treatment type of skills can be game skills of recovering a life value of the same or the virtual character, and the defending type of skills can be game skills of resisting attack of the same or the virtual character against the enemy of the virtual character. For illustration only, there are more types of character class classifications, which are not described in detail herein.

In a specific embodiment, after the step of determining the target virtual character according to the character selection instruction, the method may include:

And acquiring target role information of the target virtual role.

Specifically, after determining the target virtual character, the first terminal acquires character information of the target virtual character as target character information. The role information of the virtual role can be a role name corresponding to the virtual role, a role head or a game account nickname associated with the virtual role. Specifically, the name of the character corresponding to the virtual character may be the name of the hero of the game, the avatar corresponding to the virtual character may be an image representing the hero of the game, and the nickname of the game account is a custom name of the user creating the game account in the application program of the game.

103. Sending a role locking request to a server so as to send a role locking instruction to a second terminal through the server, wherein the role locking instruction is used for indicating the second terminal to confirm whether to lock a target virtual role, and the second terminal is a terminal corresponding to a game account with the virtual role, and the virtual role with the role is: and the virtual role is the virtual role of the same camping as the master virtual role.

The method comprises the steps that a first terminal sends a role locking request to a server based on target role information, so that the server returns first response information to the first terminal based on the role locking request, and sends a role locking instruction to a second terminal through the server, wherein the role locking instruction is generated based on the target role information and is used for indicating the second terminal to confirm whether to lock a target virtual role, the second terminal is a terminal corresponding to a game account with the virtual role, and the virtual role with the same role is: and the virtual role is the virtual role of the same camping as the master virtual role.

Specifically, the first terminal may send a first role locking request to the server, so that the server generates first response information based on the target role information carried in the first role locking request, and returns the first response information to the first terminal, and sends a role locking instruction to the second terminal through the server.

In order to improve the accuracy of synchronous locking of the same-camp virtual roles, before the step of sending the role locking request to the server, the method further comprises:

determining the display position of a master virtual character on a game interface;

Generating a target area based on the display position and a preset range rule;

and determining the virtual role to be processed, and taking a terminal of the game account corresponding to the virtual role to be processed as a second terminal, wherein the virtual role to be processed is a virtual role which is positioned in the target area and has the same camping as the master virtual role.

In order to make the user explicitly whether to perform the locking operation on the target virtual character, specifically, after the step of "sending a character locking request to the server", the method may include:

Specifically, when the first terminal receives the first response information, the first terminal generates a locking identifier according to the first response information, and the locking identifier is displayed in a superimposed manner on the target virtual character on the game interface.

For example, referring to fig. 7, when the user clicks any position in the game interface through the middle mouse button, that is, the clicking operation of the middle mouse button is the first touch operation, the first terminal responds to the first touch operation of the user on the game interface, and displays an aiming mark on the game interface. At this time, the user can drive the aiming mark to move on the game interface at will by controlling the movement of the mouse, when the user controls the aiming mark to stay in the display range of the virtual character in the virtual scene for displaying, and the virtual character is clicked by the right button of the mouse, namely the clicking operation of the right button of the mouse is the second touch operation, the first terminal responds to the second touch operation of the user on the game interface to generate a character selection instruction, and then the virtual character is determined to be a target virtual character according to the character selection instruction. When the first terminal receives the first response information, the first terminal generates a locking identifier according to the first response information and displays the locking identifier in a superimposed manner on the target virtual character on the game interface.

For example, referring to fig. 8, when the first terminal detects that the master virtual character is knocked down by the hostile virtual character, that is, the master virtual character is in a knocked down state, at this time, the hostile virtual character that knocks down the master virtual character is determined to be a candidate virtual character, and a character selection instruction is generated. And the first terminal responds to the role selection instruction, and acquires the attack value of each candidate virtual role in the candidate virtual roles when the number of the candidate virtual roles for defeating the main control virtual role is determined to be a plurality of. The first terminal may determine, from among the plurality of candidate virtual characters, a candidate virtual character having a highest attack value on the master virtual character, specifically, a life value of the master virtual character is 100, when the master virtual character is knocked out, an attack value of the hostile virtual character a on the master virtual character is 80, and an attack value of the hostile virtual character B on the master virtual character is 20, determine that the candidate virtual character having the highest attack value on the master virtual character is hostile virtual character a, then determine the candidate virtual character (hostile virtual character a) having the highest attack value as a target virtual character, display an aiming identifier on the game interface, and superimposedly display the aiming identifier on the hostile virtual character a. When the first terminal receives the first response information, the first terminal generates a locking identifier according to the first response information and displays the locking identifier in a superposition manner on the hostile virtual character A on the game interface.

Referring to fig. 9, fig. 9 is a flowchart of another method for locking a virtual character according to an embodiment of the present application, where the method for locking a virtual character is applied to a second terminal, and the second terminal is a terminal corresponding to a game account with a virtual character, and the specific process may be as follows:

201. and receiving a role locking instruction sent by the server, wherein the role locking instruction is generated based on target role information carried in a role locking request sent by the first terminal to the server, and the first terminal is a terminal for controlling a game account corresponding to the virtual role.

Specifically, the second terminal may receive a role locking instruction generated by the server based on the target role information carried in the role locking request, where the role locking instruction is used to query whether the second terminal locks a target virtual role of the master control virtual role, where the second terminal is a terminal corresponding to a game account with the virtual role, and the virtual role with the same camp is: and the virtual role is the virtual role of the same camping as the master virtual role.

202. Based on the role locking instruction, locking request information is displayed in a preset information display area of the game interface, wherein the locking request information is used for indicating: and confirming whether the target virtual role corresponding to the target role information is locked or not.

In this embodiment, when the second terminal receives the role locking instruction sent by the server, the second terminal may display locking request information in a preset information display area of the game interface of the second terminal based on the role locking instruction, so as to inquire whether a user who controls the second terminal locks a target virtual role corresponding to the target role information.

For example, referring to fig. 10, when the second terminal receives a character lock instruction transmitted from the server, the second terminal may display lock request information, which may be "apply for locking enemy, agree" in a preset information presentation area of a game interface of the second terminal, based on the character lock instruction.

For example, referring to fig. 11a, when the second terminal receives a character locking instruction sent by the server, the second terminal may display locking request information in a preset information display area of a game interface of the second terminal, where the locking request information may be "apply for locking enemies, whether to agree" and two controls are generated below the locking request information, one is "yes" and one is "no".

Optionally, the role locking instruction received by the second terminal may be generated by the first terminal by acquiring role information of the master virtual role, and then based on the role information of the master virtual role and the target role information. When the second terminal receives the role locking instruction sent by the server, the second terminal can display locking request information in a preset information display area of a game interface of the second terminal based on the role information of the master virtual role and the target role information. For example, referring to fig. 11B, when the second terminal receives a character locking instruction sent by the server, the second terminal may display locking request information in a preset information display area of a game interface of the second terminal based on character information (teammate a) of a master virtual character and target character information (enemy B), where the locking request information may be "teammate a applies for locking enemy B, whether to agree" to query whether a user who handles the second terminal locks a target virtual character corresponding to the target character information; and two controls are generated below the lock request message, one being "yes" and one being "no".

203. When a lock confirm operation in response to the lock request information is detected, a character lock confirm request is transmitted to the server.

It should be noted that, the lock confirmation operation in the embodiment of the present application may be a touch operation, specifically, the user may operate the game interface through a touch display screen, for example, the user uses a finger to click or touch the game interface to generate a touch operation. The user may also click on the game interface to generate a touch operation by controlling a mouse button, for example, the user clicks on the game interface by pressing a right mouse button to generate a touch operation.

For example, when the second terminal receives the character locking instruction sent by the server, the second terminal may display locking request information in a preset information display area of the game interface of the second terminal based on the character locking instruction, where the locking request information may be "apply for locking enemies, whether to agree or not". When the user clicks on the game interface by pressing the right button of the mouse to generate touch operation, namely the touch operation is a locking confirmation operation, the second terminal sends a role locking confirmation request to the server.

For example, when the second terminal receives the character locking instruction sent by the server, the second terminal may display, based on the character locking instruction, locking request information in a preset information display area of a game interface of the second terminal, where the locking request information may be "apply for locking enemies, whether to agree" and two controls are generated below the locking request information, one is "yes" and one is "no". When the user clicks yes on the game interface by pressing the left mouse button, namely the touch operation is a locking confirmation operation, the second terminal sends a role locking confirmation request to the server. When the user clicks no on the game interface by pressing the left mouse button, that is, the touch operation is a lock cancel operation, the second terminal no longer transmits a character lock confirm request to the server.

In addition, the lock confirmation operation in the embodiment of the present application may be a default operation. For example, it may specifically be: the lock request message may be "apply for lock enemy, agree or not," and two controls are generated below the lock request message, one is "yes" and one is "no". The locking request information has a preset display time (for example, in 5 seconds), the preset display time is displayed near the locking request information, and if the locking request information is in the display process of the preset information display area of the game interface of the second terminal, the user does not have any touch operation on the game interface, the second terminal defaults to determine to receive locking, so that a role locking confirmation request is sent to the server.

204. And when second response information generated by the server based on the target character information carried in the character locking confirmation request is received, the locking identification is displayed on the target virtual character on the game interface in a superposition mode according to the second response information.

In order to make the user clearly determine whether to perform locking operation on the target virtual character, when the second terminal receives second response information generated by the server based on the target character information carried in the character locking confirmation request, the second terminal generates a locking identifier according to the second response information, and the locking identifier is displayed in a superimposed manner on the target virtual character on the game interface of the second terminal.

For example, when the second terminal receives the character locking instruction sent by the server, the second terminal may display, based on the character locking instruction, locking request information in a preset information display area of a game interface of the second terminal, where the locking request information may be "apply for locking enemies, whether to agree" and two controls are generated below the locking request information, one is "yes" and one is "no". Referring to fig. 12a, when the user clicks "yes" on the game interface by pressing the left mouse button, that is, the touch operation is a lock confirm operation, the second terminal sends a character lock confirm request to the server, and the display of the lock request information is canceled on the game interface. When the second terminal receives second response information generated by the server based on the target role information carried in the role locking confirmation request, the second terminal generates a locking identifier according to the second response information, and the locking identifier is displayed in a superimposed mode on the target virtual role on the game interface of the second terminal. Referring to fig. 12b, when the user clicks "no" on the game interface by pressing the left mouse button, that is, the touch operation is a lock cancel operation, the second terminal no longer transmits a character lock confirm request to the server, and the display of the lock request information is canceled on the game interface.

Still alternatively, referring to fig. 13, the lock request message may be "apply for locking enemy, agree or not", and two controls are generated under the lock request message, one is "yes" and one is "no", the lock request message has a preset display time (for example, in 5 seconds), and a countdown of the preset display time is displayed near the lock request message. If the locking request information is displayed in a preset information display area of a game interface of the second terminal, the user does not have any touch operation on the game interface, the second terminal defaults to confirm receiving locking, so that a role locking confirmation request is sent to the server, and the display of the locking request information is canceled on the game interface. When the second terminal receives second response information generated by the server based on the target role information carried in the role locking confirmation request, the second terminal generates a locking identifier according to the second response information, and the locking identifier is displayed in a superimposed mode on the target virtual role on the game interface of the second terminal.

The embodiment of the application provides another virtual character locking method which can be executed by a terminal or a server, and the embodiment of the application is described by taking the virtual character locking method executed by the server as an example.

Generating first response information and a role locking instruction respectively based on target role information carried in a role locking request, wherein the role locking instruction is used for indicating a second terminal to confirm whether to lock a target virtual role, the second terminal is a terminal corresponding to a game account with the virtual role, and the virtual role with the role is: and the virtual role is the virtual role of the same camping as the master virtual role.

In order for a user to determine the source of a role locking request, the step of generating a role locking instruction based on target role information carried in the role locking request includes:

acquiring role information of a master virtual role;

For example, the role locking request carries target role information and role information of a master virtual role, and when the server receives the role locking request, the target role information carried in the role locking request and the role information of the master virtual role are obtained; then, a character lock instruction is generated based on the character information of the master virtual character and the target character information.

303. And returning the first response information to the first terminal and sending a role locking instruction to the second terminal.

304. And when a role locking confirmation request sent by the second terminal is received, generating second response information based on the target role information carried in the role locking confirmation request.

305. And returning second response information to the second terminal.

Wherein the second response information indicates: and the second terminal generates a locking identifier according to the second response information, and displays the locking identifier in a superimposed manner on the target virtual character on the game interface of the second terminal.

In accordance with the above description, the method of locking the virtual character of the present application will be further described by way of example. Referring to fig. 15, fig. 15 is a flow chart of another virtual character locking method according to an embodiment of the present application, and taking interaction between a server and a terminal as an example, a specific flow may be as follows:

The game interface is used for displaying a virtual scene and a plurality of virtual characters in the virtual scene, and is a game interface for controlling the virtual characters.

402. And when the role selection instruction is detected, determining a target virtual role according to the role selection instruction.

Specifically, the target virtual character is a virtual character that is hostile to the master virtual character. The first terminal can respond to the touch operation for the virtual characters in the virtual scene, generate a character selection instruction based on the touch operation, and then determine the virtual characters aimed by the touch operation as target virtual characters according to the character selection instruction.

It should be noted that, the touch operation in the embodiment of the present application may be an operation performed by a user on the game interface through the touch display screen, for example, a touch operation generated by the user clicking or touching the game interface with a finger. The user may also click on the game interface to generate a touch operation by controlling a mouse button, for example, the user clicks on the game interface by pressing a right mouse button to generate a touch operation. Specific embodiments are exemplified in the embodiment of the first terminal, and are not described herein.

404. And sending a role locking request to the server based on the target role information.

405. And receiving a role locking request sent by the first terminal.

406. And generating first response information and a role locking instruction respectively based on the target role information carried in the role locking request.

Specifically, the server generates first response information and a role locking instruction based on target role information carried in the role locking request, wherein the first terminal is a terminal for controlling a game account corresponding to the virtual role, the role locking instruction is used for indicating a second terminal to confirm whether to lock the target virtual role, the second terminal is a terminal corresponding to the game account with the virtual role, and the virtual role with the role is: and the virtual role is the virtual role of the same camping as the master virtual role.

After generating the first response information and the role locking instruction, the server executes steps 407A and 407A, respectively, where the specific flow is as follows:

The first flow is as follows:

407A, returning the first response information to the first terminal.

407B, when the first response information is received, displaying the locking identification in a superposition manner on the target virtual character on the game interface according to the first response information.

In order to make the user clearly determine whether to lock the target virtual character, when the first terminal receives the first response information, the first terminal generates a locking identifier according to the first response information, and displays the locking identifier in a superimposed manner on the target virtual character on the game interface.

407G, when second response information generated by the server based on the target character information carried in the character locking confirmation request is received, displaying the locking identification in a superposition manner on the target virtual character on the game interface according to the second response information.

In summary, the embodiment of the application provides a method for locking a virtual character, which comprises displaying a game interface; when a role selection instruction is detected, determining a target virtual role according to the role selection instruction; acquiring target role information of a target virtual role; then, a role locking request is sent to a server based on the target role information, so that the server returns first response information to the first terminal based on the role locking request, and a role locking instruction is sent to the second terminal through the server; and when the first response information is received, the locking identification is displayed on the target virtual character on the game interface in a superposition mode according to the first response information. According to the embodiment of the application, the locking operation of the master control virtual role on the target virtual role is sent to other virtual roles in the same camp, so that the virtual roles in the same camp and the master control virtual role can be used for quickly determining the same target virtual role; when the enemy of fire collecting attack is realized in the game, the operation steps of locking the same target virtual character with the virtual character in the same array can be simplified, the operation efficiency is improved, the game playing method is richer, and the game interestingness is improved.

In accordance with the above description, the method of locking the virtual character of the present application will be further described by way of example. Specific examples of this scenario are as follows:

(1) When a user logs in a game at a first terminal (computer end), the computer equipment can enter a game play by controlling a master control virtual character, the game play also comprises a plurality of virtual characters except the master control virtual character, the plurality of virtual characters are divided into different camps in the game, and one camping can be composed of three virtual characters. Wherein, two virtual roles and a master virtual role are same-lineup virtual roles, and other virtual roles and master virtual roles are hostile lineup virtual roles. As shown in fig. 16a, at this time, a virtual scene is displayed in the current game interface, and a master virtual character, a co-camping virtual character co-camping with the master virtual character, and a hostile virtual character a and a hostile virtual character B may be displayed in the virtual scene.

(2) Referring to fig. 16b, when the first terminal detects that a user clicks at any position of the game interface by pressing a key in the mouse, the computer device may generate a lock initiation instruction based on the mouse click operation triggered by the user, and display the aiming identifier on the game interface in response to the lock initiation instruction. The user can control the movement of the mouse, so that the aiming mark moves in the game interface correspondingly to the control of the movement of the mouse, and the aiming mark responds to the movement of the mouse. At this time, the user moves the aiming mark to the hostile virtual character to be locked, for example, aims at the hostile virtual character a, and the user overlaps the aiming mark with the selected hostile virtual character a, and then the user can click the right button of the mouse to perform a click operation. When the first terminal detects that a user presses a right button of a mouse to perform clicking operation, the hostile virtual character overlapped with the aiming mark is taken as a target virtual character, and target character information of the hostile virtual character A is obtained.

(3) After the first terminal obtains the target role information, the first terminal can send a role locking request to the server, the server receives the role locking request, the server can respectively generate first response information and a role locking instruction based on the target role information carried in the role locking request, the server returns the first response information to the first terminal, and the server sends the role locking instruction to the second terminal.

(4) When the first terminal which is used for controlling the virtual roles receives the role locking instruction, the locking identification can be displayed on the hostile virtual role A in a superposition mode in response to the role locking instruction. Meanwhile, referring to fig. 16c, the second terminal receives the role locking command sent by the server, and the second terminal may display, in a preset information display area of the game interface, locking request information based on the role locking command, where the locking request information may be "apply for locking the hostile virtual role a, and agree or not". When a response to a lock confirmation operation for the lock request information is detected, for example, when a user using the second terminal performs a click operation by pressing a left mouse button by manipulating a mouse, a character lock confirmation request is sent to the server, and when the server receives the character lock confirmation request sent by the second terminal, second response information is generated based on target character information carried in the character lock confirmation request and the second response information is returned to the second terminal. And when the second terminal receives second response information generated by the server based on the target role information carried in the role locking confirmation request, the locking identification is displayed on the hostile virtual role A in a superposition mode.
