Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, 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 some embodiments of the present application, but not all 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.

In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the related art related to the present application will be further described in detail below.

The object control method in the embodiment of the application can be operated in a local terminal device or a cloud interaction system.

The cloud interaction system comprises a cloud server and user equipment and is used for running cloud applications. The cloud applications run separately.

In an alternative embodiment, cloud gaming refers to a cloud computing-based gaming mode. In the running mode of the cloud game, the running main body of the game program and the game picture presenting main body are separated, the storage and the running of the object control method are completed on a cloud game server, and the cloud game client is used for receiving and sending data and presenting the game picture, for example, the cloud game client can be a display device with a data transmission function close to a user side, such as a mobile terminal, a television, a computer, a palm computer and the like; but the cloud game server in the cloud is used for processing the game data. When a game is played, a player operates the cloud game client to send an operation instruction to the cloud game server, the cloud game server runs the game according to the operation instruction, data such as game pictures and the like are encoded and compressed, the data are returned to the cloud game client through a network, and finally the data are decoded through the cloud game client and the game pictures are output.

In an alternative embodiment, the local terminal device stores a game program and is used to present a game screen. The local terminal device is used for interacting with the player through a graphical user interface, namely, a game program is downloaded and installed and operated through an electronic device conventionally. The manner in which the local terminal device provides the graphical user interface to the player may include a variety of ways, for example, it may be rendered for display on a display screen of the terminal or provided to the player through holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device may include a display screen for presenting a graphical user interface including a game screen and a processor for running the game, generating the graphical user interface, and controlling display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.

The terminal device in this embodiment may be, for example, a mobile phone (or referred to as a "cellular" phone), a tablet computer, or may also be a computer device, a portable, pocket, handheld, computer-embedded mobile device or device, etc., and is not particularly limited herein, and the specific implementation of the terminal device may be selected according to actual needs as long as the corresponding conditions described above are met and the object control method in this application may be executed.

With the continuous development of mobile communication technology, more and more mobile terminal games emerge, wherein the mobile terminal games have various types. There is currently a type of mobile terminal game in which there are virtual characters and virtual vehicles on which the virtual characters can be located to enable the virtual characters to ride the virtual vehicles.

For example, fig. 1 may be understood in conjunction with fig. 1, where fig. 1 is a scene schematic diagram of an object control method provided in this embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 1, it is assumed that a game graphical user interface includes a virtual character 101 and a virtual vehicle 102, wherein the virtual character 101 can be located on the virtual vehicle 102 as shown in fig. 1 to enable the virtual character 101 to ride on the virtual vehicle 102.

In the actual implementation process, the virtual character may be, for example, a virtual character, a virtual animal, a virtual object, and the like, and the virtual vehicle may be, for example, a virtual ship, a virtual vehicle, a virtual airplane, and the like.

Taking the virtual vehicle as a ship as an example, it can be understood that the virtual character can move on the moving ship, but in the current game implementation, when the virtual vehicle is moving, the virtual character cannot leave the vehicle or take the vehicle at any time.

For example, the virtual vehicle is a ship, and in the moving process of the ship, the virtual character can move on the ship, but the virtual character cannot get on or off the ship at any time, and only after the ship stops moving, the virtual character can correspondingly get on or off the ship.

Therefore, in the current game including the virtual character and the virtual vehicle, there is a problem that the game operation lacks comprehensiveness.

In the prior art, the reason why the virtual character cannot leave or take a virtual vehicle at any time is that when the virtual character takes the virtual vehicle, the virtual character actually moves based on the local coordinate system of the ship. It will be appreciated that when the virtual character is located on the virtual vehicle, the virtual character is actually located under the local coordinate system of the virtual vehicle, wherein the virtual character can move freely on the virtual vehicle based on the local coordinate system of the virtual vehicle. Meanwhile, when the virtual carrier moves, the local coordinate system of the corresponding virtual carrier also moves correspondingly, and because the virtual character is positioned under the local coordinate system of the virtual carrier, the virtual character can also move synchronously along with the movement of the local coordinate system.

Therefore, when the virtual character is positioned on the virtual carrier, the virtual character is positioned under the local coordinate system of the virtual carrier, and the movement of the virtual character following the virtual carrier and the movement of the virtual carrier relative to the virtual carrier can be effectively realized.

Meanwhile, it can be understood that when the virtual character is going to be launched from the ship on the virtual vehicle, the virtual character needs to be switched from the local coordinate system to the world coordinate system, but in the moving process of the virtual vehicle, because the local coordinate system of the virtual vehicle is also moving continuously, the dependence of the virtual character on the local coordinate system of the virtual vehicle cannot be stopped quickly, and the position of the current virtual character in the world coordinate system cannot be determined quickly, so that the switching of the coordinate system cannot be realized in time at this time.

Similarly, if the virtual character is not going to be carried on the vessel on the virtual vehicle, the virtual character needs to be switched from the world coordinate system to the local coordinate system, but during the moving process of the virtual vehicle, because the local coordinate system of the virtual vehicle is also continuously moving, the dependency relationship of the virtual character on the local coordinate system of the virtual vehicle cannot be quickly established, and the position of the current virtual character in the local coordinate system cannot be quickly determined, so that the switching of the coordinate system cannot be timely realized. Therefore, in the current game implementation, the virtual vehicle is not supported to freely get on and off the virtual vehicle during the moving process of the virtual vehicle.

Aiming at the problems in the prior art, the application provides the following technical conception: the movement of the virtual character and the movement of the virtual carrier are completed under a world coordinate system, the local coordinates of the virtual character relative to the virtual carrier can be determined based on the world coordinates of the virtual character and the world coordinates of the virtual carrier, and then the virtual character moves correspondingly according to the corresponding local coordinates when the virtual carrier moves, so that under the condition that the virtual character and the virtual carrier can move synchronously, the virtual character and the virtual carrier move based on the world coordinate system, even if the virtual character wants to get on or off the ship in the moving process of the virtual carrier, the conversion of the coordinate system is not needed, the virtual carrier can be moved up and down freely by the virtual character, and the comprehensiveness of game operation is improved effectively.

Based on the above introduction, the object control method provided by the present application is introduced below with reference to specific embodiments, and first, an application scenario of the present application is further described with reference to fig. 1.

The object control method provided in this embodiment may provide a graphical user interface through a terminal device, where the terminal device may be the aforementioned local terminal device, and may also be the aforementioned client device in the cloud interaction system. The graphical user interface is a computer operation user interface displayed in a graphical manner, which allows a user to manipulate icons or menu controls on a screen using an input device, where the input device may be, for example, a mouse or a touch screen, and the like.

In this embodiment, the graphical user interface includes a game screen, and the game screen includes at least one virtual character and at least one virtual vehicle, where the implementation manners of the virtual character and the virtual vehicle are described above and are not described herein again.

The terminal device may be the aforementioned local terminal device, and may also be the aforementioned cloud game client.

Based on the application scenario described above, the following describes an object control method provided in the present application with reference to fig. 2, and fig. 2 is a flowchart of the object control method provided in the embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 2, the method includes:

s201, a first absolute position of the virtual carrier in a preset coordinate system and a second absolute position of the virtual character in the preset coordinate system at a first moment are obtained.

It can be understood that the game pictures displayed in the graphical user interface are all displayed frame by frame, and can be processed in units of one frame when determining the movement of the virtual character and the virtual carrier, and one frame in this embodiment may correspond to one time, for example, so that it is assumed that the first time and the second time are times corresponding to adjacent frame pictures, and the second time is after the first time, and when determining the positions of the virtual character and the virtual carrier at the second time, for example, the game pictures can be determined according to the positions of the virtual character and the virtual carrier at the first time.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the first time and the second time may be any time as long as the first time and the second time are times corresponding to adjacent frame pictures, and the second time is after the first time.

In one possible implementation manner, for example, a first absolute position of the virtual vehicle at the first time in the preset coordinate system and a second absolute position of the virtual character in the preset coordinate system may be obtained, and the currently introduced preset coordinate system may be, for example, a world coordinate system of the game, so that both the current first absolute position and the current second absolute position may be positions in the world coordinate system.

S202, acquiring a third absolute position of the virtual carrier under a preset coordinate system at the second moment according to the first movement information of the virtual carrier.

In this embodiment, when determining the movement of the virtual vehicle, for example, first movement information of the virtual vehicle may be further obtained, where the first movement information may indicate whether the position of the virtual vehicle moves, and if the position of the virtual vehicle moves, the first movement information may include, for example, a moving direction and a moving distance of the virtual vehicle.

And for example, second movement information of the virtual character may be acquired, where the second movement information may indicate whether the position of the virtual character has moved, and if the position has moved, the second movement information may include, for example, a moving direction and a moving distance of the virtual character.

In one possible implementation, whether the first movement information of the virtual vehicle or the second movement information of the virtual character is determined according to the operation of the user, for example, the operation of the movement control by the user can be detected, so as to determine the first movement information and/or the second movement information; or the movement information may be determined according to preset settings of the game, for example, a ship or a virtual character is set to move in a preset game scenario according to preset movement information.

The specific implementation manner of obtaining the first movement information and the second movement information is not limited in this embodiment, and may be selected and set according to actual requirements, as long as the first movement information may indicate the movement of the virtual vehicle according to the content described above, and the second movement information may indicate the movement of the virtual character according to the content described above.

After the first absolute position of the virtual vehicle is determined, a third absolute position of the virtual vehicle in the preset coordinate system at the second moment can be obtained according to the first movement information.

It is understood that the first movement information may indicate whether the position of the virtual vehicle moves, and if the position of the virtual vehicle moves, the first movement information may indicate a direction and a distance of the movement, and for example, a determination may be made first according to the first movement information to determine whether the position of the virtual vehicle moves.

In one possible implementation manner, if it is determined that the position of the virtual vehicle moves, for example, a third absolute position of the virtual vehicle in the preset coordinate system may be determined based on the first absolute position according to the moving direction and the moving distance indicated by the first movement information.

For example, if the moving direction is due north and the moving distance is 30, the position with the distance of 30 due north of the first absolute position may be determined as the third absolute position, where the unit of the moving distance may be selected according to actual requirements. In an actual implementation process, both the moving direction and the moving distance may be selected according to actual requirements, which is not limited in this embodiment.

In another possible implementation, if it is determined that the position of the virtual vehicle has not moved, it may be determined that the third absolute position and the first absolute position are equal, for example.

And S203, determining a fourth absolute position of the virtual character in the preset coordinate system at the second moment according to the first absolute position, the second absolute position, the third absolute position and the second movement information of the virtual character.

It can be understood that, in the implementation process of the game, when the virtual character is located on the virtual carrier, the virtual character moves synchronously along with the virtual carrier. If the virtual character does not move relative to the virtual carrier, if the virtual carrier moves, the virtual character also needs to correspondingly move so as to ensure that the virtual character can be positioned on the virtual carrier; and if the virtual character moves relative to the virtual carrier, if the virtual carrier moves, the virtual character also needs to correspondingly move on the basis of the movement of the virtual carrier so as to ensure that the virtual character correspondingly moves on the virtual carrier.

That is, the change in the position of the virtual character in the present embodiment is actually determined according to the movement of the virtual vehicle and the movement of the virtual character, and therefore, in the present embodiment, after the second absolute position of the virtual character and the second movement information of the virtual character are determined, for example, the fourth absolute position of the virtual character in the preset coordinate system may be determined according to the first absolute position of the virtual vehicle, the second absolute position of the virtual character, the third absolute position of the virtual vehicle, and the second movement information of the virtual character.

It can be understood that the second movement information may indicate whether the position of the virtual character moves, where whether the position of the virtual character indicated by the second movement information moves is indicated by whether a corresponding instruction is given or a corresponding operation triggers the virtual character to move, and if the virtual character moves, the second movement information may indicate a direction and a distance of the movement, and for example, first, a determination may be made according to the second movement information to determine whether the position of the virtual character moves.

In one possible implementation manner, if it is determined that the position of the virtual character changes, for example, the synchronous movement of the virtual character may be determined according to the movement of the virtual vehicle, and then, based on the synchronous movement relative to the virtual vehicle, the fourth absolute position of the virtual character in the preset coordinate system may be determined according to the movement direction and the movement distance indicated by the second movement information.

In another possible implementation manner, if it is determined that the position of the virtual character does not move, for example, a fourth absolute position of the virtual character in the preset coordinate system may be determined according to the third absolute position of the virtual vehicle, because the current second movement information indicates that the position of the virtual character does not move, it is meant that there is no corresponding operation or instruction to trigger the movement of the virtual character, but because the virtual character is located on the virtual vehicle, the virtual character needs to determine the corresponding position along with the movement information of the virtual vehicle.

And S204, rendering the position of the virtual carrier at the second moment on the graphical user interface according to the third absolute position, and rendering the position of the virtual character at the second moment on the graphical user interface according to the fourth absolute position.

After determining the third absolute position of the virtual traffic in the preset coordinate system, the position of the virtual vehicle at the second time may be rendered in the graphical user interface according to the third absolute position, and after determining the fourth absolute position of the virtual character in the preset coordinate system, the position of the virtual character at the second time may be rendered in the graphical user interface according to the fourth absolute position, where the third absolute position and the fourth absolute position are both based on the world coordinate system, so that the virtual character and the virtual vehicle in this embodiment may move accordingly based on the world coordinate system.

Based on the above description, it can be understood that the position movement of the virtual vehicle can be directly determined according to the first movement information, but the position movement of the virtual character is determined according to the second movement information on the basis of the movement of the virtual vehicle, so as to ensure that the virtual character can move synchronously along with the virtual vehicle. Meanwhile, the virtual character and the virtual carrier are moved under a world coordinate system, so that the scheme provided by the embodiment can effectively ensure that the virtual character moves along with the virtual carrier on the basis of ensuring that the virtual character and the virtual carrier respectively realize corresponding movement under the world coordinate system, and the virtual character does not move under a local coordinate system of the virtual carrier, so that the virtual carrier can be moved up and down at any time, and the comprehensiveness of game operation is effectively improved.

The object control method provided by the embodiment of the application comprises the following steps: and acquiring a first absolute position of the virtual carrier in a preset coordinate system and a second absolute position of the virtual character in the preset coordinate system at a first moment. And acquiring a third absolute position of the virtual carrier under a preset coordinate system at the second moment according to the first movement information of the virtual carrier. And determining a fourth absolute position of the virtual character under the preset coordinate system at the second moment according to the first absolute position, the second absolute position, the third absolute position and the second movement information of the virtual character. And rendering the position of the virtual carrier at the second moment on the graphical user interface according to the third absolute position, and rendering the position of the virtual character at the second moment on the graphical user interface according to the fourth absolute position. The fourth absolute position of the virtual character is determined under the world coordinate system, and the third absolute position of the virtual carrier is determined under the world coordinate system, so that the virtual character and the virtual carrier can be guaranteed to move based on the world coordinate system, meanwhile, the virtual character is further determined according to the second movement information on the basis of the movement of the virtual carrier, and therefore the scheme provided by the application can effectively guarantee that the virtual character can move along with the virtual carrier when the virtual character is located on the virtual carrier, and meanwhile, the virtual character moves under the world coordinate system, so that the virtual carrier can be moved up and down at any time, and the comprehensiveness of game operation is effectively improved.

Based on the above embodiments, the object control method provided by the present application is further described in detail with reference to fig. 3 to 6, fig. 3 is a flowchart of an object control method provided by the present application, fig. 4 is a first schematic moving diagram of a virtual object and a virtual carrier provided by the present application, fig. 5 is a second schematic moving diagram of the virtual object and the virtual carrier provided by the present application, and fig. 6 is a third schematic moving diagram of the virtual object and the virtual carrier provided by the present application.

As shown in fig. 3, the method includes:

s301, a first absolute position of the virtual carrier in a preset coordinate system and a second absolute position of the virtual character in the preset coordinate system at the first moment are obtained.

S302, according to the first movement information of the virtual carrier, a third absolute position of the virtual carrier under a preset coordinate system at the second moment is obtained.

The implementation manner of S302 is similar to the implementation manner of S202, and details of the specific implementation manner are not repeated here, and further details of the implementation manner for determining the third absolute position of the virtual vehicle according to the first movement information and the first absolute position are described below with reference to fig. 4.

As shown in fig. 4, for example, it is assumed that the virtual vehicle is a ship shown in fig. 4, and the preset coordinate system is an x-y coordinate system shown in fig. 4, it is understood that the coordinate system shown in fig. 4 is only a coordinate system illustrated here for convenience of description of the scheme, in an actual implementation process, the preset coordinate system may be, for example, a world coordinate system in a game, for example, a three-dimensional coordinate system, and the like.

Referring to fig. 4, assume that the frame picture corresponding to the first time is the implementation shown at 401 in fig. 4, and the frame picture corresponding to the second time is the implementation shown at 402 in fig. 4. Assuming that the position of the virtual vehicle is represented by the position of the center point of the virtual vehicle, it can be determined based on fig. 4 that the first absolute position x ═ a of the virtual vehicle in the preset coordinate system in the frame 401 corresponding to the first time is set as₁，y＝y₁The corresponding position.

And assuming that the first movement information of the virtual vehicle indicates that the virtual vehicle moves and indicates that the moving direction is a direction having an angle of 0 ° with the positive direction of the x-axis), that is, a direction indicated by an arrow a in fig. 4, and indicates that the moving distance is β, a third absolute position of the virtual vehicle in the preset coordinate system at the second time may be determined based on the first movement information and the first absolute position.

As shown in fig. 4, the distance from the first absolute position corresponding to the moving direction a may be determined as the position of the moving distance β, as the third absolute position, as shown in fig. 4, toward the moving direction a, and as the first absolute position (a)₁，y₁) The position of the distance beta is (a) in FIG. 4₂，y₁) The corresponding position, i.e. the third absolute position, is shown in the figureX in 4 ═ a₂，y＝y₁Corresponding position where a₁And a₂The distance between them is beta.

In an actual implementation process, a specific implementation manner of the first movement information may be selected according to an actual requirement, which is not limited in this embodiment, and a specific implementation manner of the third absolute position may also be adaptively determined accordingly, as long as the third absolute position is determined according to the first movement information and the first absolute position.

And S303, determining a first relative position of the virtual character relative to the virtual vehicle according to the second absolute position and the first absolute position.

Based on the above description of the embodiment, it can be determined that, when determining the position change of the virtual character in the embodiment, because the virtual character needs to move along with the virtual vehicle on the virtual vehicle, and the movement of the virtual character in the embodiment is also performed in the world coordinate system, in the embodiment, when determining the position of the virtual character, the relative position of the virtual character with respect to the virtual vehicle can be determined, and then the position of the virtual character is determined according to the relative position, so that it can be ensured that the virtual character moves along with the virtual vehicle, and is not limited by the local coordinate system of the virtual vehicle.

In one possible implementation manner, for example, the first relative position of the virtual character with respect to the virtual vehicle may be determined according to the second absolute position and the first absolute position, for example, the first relative position may be understood with reference to fig. 4, see fig. 4, and it is assumed that in the frame 401 corresponding to the first time, the first absolute position of the virtual vehicle is (a)₁，y₁) The second absolute position of the virtual character is (b)₁，y₂) Then, based on the first absolute position and the absolute position, the distance between the virtual character and the virtual vehicle in the x-axis direction is determined to be δ, the distance in the y-axis direction is determined to be η, and the relative direction information between the two can also be determined, so as to determine the first phase position of the virtual character relative to the virtual vehicle.

In practical implementation, the first relative position may include, for example, the distance difference value in each direction and the relative direction information described above, or the first relative position may be determined by the following formula one and formula two:

locatiPlayerPosition＝Quaternion.Inverse(shipRotation_1)×(playerPosition_1-shipPosition_1)

formula one

The mapping method comprises the following steps that a mapping table is used for mapping a virtual character to a virtual carrier, wherein the mapping table is used for mapping the virtual character to a world coordinate system, and the mapping table is used for mapping the virtual character to a virtual carrier.

And the second formula is:

localPlayerRotation

＝Quaternion.Inverse(shipRotation_1)×playerRotation_1

formula two

The playrortation _1 is a rotation orientation of the virtual character in a world coordinate system in a previous frame, and the localplayerrtation is a local orientation of the virtual character based on the virtual vehicle.

Based on the first and second formulas, the first relative position in the present embodiment may include the above-described local coordinate locatiPlayerPosition of the virtual character based on the virtual vehicle and the local orientation locatiplayerrosition of the virtual character based on the virtual vehicle.

In an actual implementation process, a specific implementation manner of the first relative position may be selected according to actual requirements, as long as the first relative position may indicate a position of the virtual character relative to the virtual vehicle.

S304, determining a fifth absolute position of the virtual character in the preset coordinate system according to the third absolute position and the first relative position, wherein the relative position of the fifth absolute position relative to the third absolute position is the first relative position.

After the first relative position is determined, a fifth absolute position of the virtual character in the preset coordinate system can be determined according to the third absolute position and the first relative position of the virtual vehicle, and it can be understood that the fifth absolute position in this embodiment is a position in the preset coordinate system after the virtual character moves along with the virtual vehicle, and a relative position of the fifth absolute position with respect to the third absolute position in this embodiment is the first relative position, that is, the fifth absolute position in this embodiment is a position where the position of the virtual character with respect to the virtual vehicle does not change.

For example, it can be understood in conjunction with fig. 4, as shown in fig. 4, suppose that the third absolute position of the current virtual vehicle is (a) in fig. 4₂，y₁) The position shown here is assumed to include the distance in the x-axis direction, the distance in the y-axis direction, and the relative direction information, and the fifth absolute position (b) shown in fig. 4 may be determined based on the above-determined distance δ in the x-axis direction, the distance η in the y-axis direction, and the relative orientation information (b)₂，y₂) In connection with fig. 4, it can be determined that the fifth absolute position (b)₂，y₂) Relative to the third absolute position (a)₂，y₁) The determined first relative position is the determined first relative position, that is, the currently determined fifth absolute position is a position after the virtual character moves following the movement of the virtual vehicle without moving the virtual character on the virtual vehicle.

In one possible implementation, the fifth absolute position of the virtual character may be determined according to the following formulas three and four, as opposed to the above formulas one and two.

playerPosition_2

＝(shipRotation_2×localPlayerPosition)+shipPosition_2

Formula three

The mapping table includes a mapping table, and the like.

And the formula four is:

playroration _2 ═ shipRotion _2 × localplayerration formula IV

The localplayerrotion is a local orientation of the virtual character based on the virtual vehicle, and the playrorotion _2 is a rotational orientation of the virtual character in the current frame of the virtual character in the world coordinate system, so that the fifth absolute position of the virtual character may include, for example, the fifth absolute coordinate playerPosition _2 of the currently determined virtual character in the world coordinate system and the rotational orientation of the virtual character in the current frame of the virtual character in the world coordinate system, playrorotion _ 2.

S305, determining a fourth absolute position of the virtual character under the preset coordinate system at the second moment according to the second movement information and the fifth absolute position.

After the fifth absolute position is determined, the virtual character moves along with the virtual vehicle, and the virtual character can move by itself, that is, the relative position information of the virtual character and the virtual vehicle changes, so that the fourth absolute position of the virtual character in the preset coordinate system at the second moment can be further determined according to the second movement information and the fifth absolute position.

In a possible implementation manner, the second movement information may include a movement direction and a movement distance, and the fifth absolute position may be updated according to the movement direction and the movement distance, for example, so as to obtain a fourth absolute position of the virtual character in the preset coordinate system at the second time.

For example, as shown in fig. 5, it can be understood that, as shown in fig. 5, the frame screen corresponding to the first time point is an image shown as 501 in fig. 5, the frame screen corresponding to the second time point is an image shown as 502 in fig. 5, and the first absolute position of the virtual carrier is a coordinate (a) in the frame screen 501 corresponding to the first time point₁，y₁) The indicated position, the second absolute position of the virtual character is the coordinate (b)₁，y₂) The indicated position.

Similar to the description of FIG. 4 above, assume that the current is based on the dotted lineThe first movement information of the virtual vehicle and the first absolute position of the virtual vehicle determine that the third absolute position of the virtual traffic in the preset coordinate system at the second moment is the coordinate (a) in fig. 5₂，y₁) The indicated position.

And similar to the description of fig. 4 above, a first relative position of the virtual character with respect to the virtual vehicle may be determined based on the second absolute position and the first absolute position, and then based on a third absolute position (a) of the virtual vehicle₂，y₁) And said first relative position, determining a fifth absolute position (b) of the virtual character in a predetermined coordinate system₂，y₂) Its implementation is similar to that described above with reference to fig. 4.

Further, assuming that the moving direction of the second movement information is the direction indicated by the arrow a in fig. 5 and the moving distance is the distance indicated by ∈ in fig. 5, the fifth absolute position (b) may be paired according to the moving direction and the moving distance₂，y₂) Updating to obtain a fourth absolute position (b) of the virtual character in the preset coordinate system₃，y₂)。

Based on the above description, it can be determined that, in the implementation process of the above description, a fifth absolute position of the virtual character after moving along with the virtual vehicle can be determined, then, on the basis of the fifth absolute position, a fourth absolute position of the virtual character after moving relative to the virtual vehicle can be implemented, and the determined position information of the virtual character is implemented in a world coordinate system, so that the virtual character can be effectively implemented to move along with the virtual vehicle in the world coordinate system, and simultaneously, the virtual character can be effectively implemented to move relative to the virtual vehicle, which are all implemented in the world coordinate system, because the virtual character is not located in a local coordinate system of the virtual vehicle, the virtual vehicle can be effectively implemented to get on and off the virtual vehicle at any time.

Based on the above description, it can be determined that, in the embodiment, the first movement information may indicate that the virtual vehicle moves or does not move, and the second movement information may indicate that the virtual character moves or does not move, and there are many possible implementation manners of the corresponding virtual character and the virtual vehicle.

In a possible implementation manner, the first movement information indicates that the virtual vehicle moves, and the second movement information indicates that the virtual character moves, that is, both the virtual vehicle and the virtual character move at the same time, which can be implemented by referring to fig. 5, as shown in fig. 5, the position of the virtual vehicle moves, and the position of the virtual character moves synchronously with the virtual vehicle, and the position of the virtual character relative to the virtual vehicle also moves correspondingly according to the second movement information.

In another possible implementation, the first movement information indicates that the virtual vehicle moves, and the second movement information indicates that the virtual character does not move, that is, only the virtual vehicle moves, which can be implemented as shown in fig. 4, in which the position of the virtual vehicle moves, and the position of the virtual character follows the virtual vehicle to move synchronously, because the virtual character does not move spontaneously, and therefore the position of the virtual character relative to the virtual vehicle does not change.

In another possible implementation manner, the first movement information indicates that the virtual vehicle does not move, and the second movement information indicates that the virtual character moves, that is, only the virtual character moves, in this case, an implementation manner can refer to fig. 6, as shown in fig. 6, in which the position of the virtual vehicle does not move, and is always located at the coordinate (a)₁，y₁) Indicated position, and position of virtual character from coordinates (b)₁，y₂) The indicated position is moved to the coordinate (b)₄，y₂) The indicated position, and thus the position of the virtual character relative to the virtual vehicle, also changes.

In an actual implementation process, a specific moving manner of the virtual vehicle and the virtual object may be selected according to an actual requirement, which is not limited in this embodiment.

S306, rendering the position of the virtual carrier at the second moment on the graphical user interface according to the third absolute position, and rendering the position of the virtual character at the second moment on the graphical user interface according to the fourth absolute position.

The implementation manner of S306 is similar to the implementation manner of S204 described above, and is not described here again.

The object control method provided by the embodiment of the application determines a first relative position of a virtual character relative to a virtual carrier according to a first absolute position of the virtual carrier and a second absolute position of the virtual character, then determines a fifth absolute position of the virtual character after the virtual character moves synchronously with the virtual carrier according to the first relative position and a third absolute position of the virtual character after the virtual carrier moves, and then realizes the movement of the virtual character according to the fifth absolute position and second movement information on the basis of the fifth absolute position so as to determine a fourth absolute position of the virtual character at a second moment after the virtual character moves, wherein the whole process is carried out under a world coordinate system, so that the scheme provided by the embodiment of the application can effectively realize the synchronous movement of the virtual character following the virtual carrier under the world coordinate system and simultaneously effectively realize the spontaneous movement of the virtual character relative to the virtual carrier, because the virtual character does not move under the local coordinate system of the virtual carrier, the virtual character can effectively get on or off the vehicle at any time, so that the comprehensiveness of game operation is effectively improved.

On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, the object control method provided in this embodiment of the present application may further detect and mark upper and lower virtual vehicles of the virtual character, which is described below with reference to fig. 7 to 11, where fig. 7 is a flowchart three of the object control method provided in this embodiment of the present application, fig. 8 is a first implementation schematic diagram for determining a vehicle identifier corresponding to the virtual character provided in this embodiment of the present application, fig. 9 is a second implementation schematic diagram for determining a vehicle identifier corresponding to the virtual character provided in this embodiment of the present application, fig. 10 is a third implementation schematic diagram for determining a vehicle identifier corresponding to the virtual character provided in this embodiment of the present application, and fig. 11 is a fourth implementation schematic diagram for determining a vehicle identifier corresponding to the virtual character provided in this embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 7, the method includes:

s701, determining a first position relation between the virtual character and the virtual carrier according to the third absolute position and the fourth absolute position, wherein the first position relation indicates that the virtual character is located on the virtual carrier or the virtual character is not located on the virtual carrier.

In this embodiment, since the virtual character can be moved up and down the virtual vehicle at any time, the positions of the virtual vehicle and the virtual character determined for each frame may be on the virtual vehicle or not, and thus the first positional relationship between the virtual character and the virtual vehicle needs to be determined in this embodiment.

In one possible implementation, for example, it may be determined whether the virtual character is located on the virtual vehicle according to the third absolute position and the fourth absolute position, so as to determine a first positional relationship between the virtual character and the virtual vehicle, where the first positional relationship may indicate that the virtual character is located on the virtual vehicle, or the first positional relationship may also indicate that the virtual character is not located on the virtual vehicle.

Alternatively, in the actual game implementation process, the presence or absence of the virtual vehicle under the foot of the virtual character may be detected by detecting a ray of a predetermined length toward the foot from the sole of the virtual character, for example. If the virtual vehicle is detected to exist, determining that the first position relation indicates that the virtual character is located on the virtual vehicle. If the virtual vehicle is detected to be absent, determining that the first position relationship indicates that the virtual character is not located on the virtual vehicle. The preset length of the ray detection may be, for example, 3 meters, and in an actual implementation process, the length of the ray detection may be selected according to an actual requirement, which is not particularly limited in this embodiment.

S702, determining whether the first position relationship indicates that the virtual character is located on the virtual carrier, if so, performing S703, and if not, performing S705.

In this embodiment, different implementations exist for different indications of the first position relationship, so that it can be determined whether the first position relationship indicates that the virtual character is located on the virtual vehicle, and then corresponding operations are performed.

S703, acquiring a second position relation between the virtual character and the virtual carrier at the first moment.

In a possible implementation manner, if it is determined that the first positional relationship indicates that the virtual character is located on the virtual vehicle, a second positional relationship between the virtual character and the virtual vehicle in the frame corresponding to the first time needs to be further acquired, so as to determine whether the virtual character is always located on the virtual vehicle or just starts to be located on the virtual vehicle, that is, it needs to determine whether the virtual character performs a boarding operation at the second time compared to the first time.

The second positional relationship in this embodiment is similar to the first positional relationship described above, and may indicate that the virtual character is located on the virtual vehicle, or may also indicate that the virtual character is not located on the virtual vehicle.

S704, if the second position relationship indicates that the virtual character is not located on the virtual vehicle, determining the identifier of the virtual vehicle to be the vehicle identifier corresponding to the virtual character.

In a possible implementation manner, for example, as can be understood with reference to fig. 8, 801 in fig. 8 is a frame picture corresponding to a first time, and 802 in fig. 8 is a frame picture corresponding to a second time, it can be determined based on fig. 8 that the second positional relationship at the first time indicates that the virtual character is not located on the virtual vehicle, and the first positional relationship at the second time indicates that the virtual character is located on the virtual vehicle, and therefore it can be determined that the virtual character has just performed the boarding operation, and therefore the boarding of the virtual character can be marked, for example, the identifier of the virtual vehicle can be determined as a vehicle identifier corresponding to the virtual character, such as the identifier of the virtual vehicle is ship a, and the current virtual character is character one, and then, for example, the vehicle identifier corresponding to character one can be set as ship a, so as to mark that the character one is located on ship a.

In another possible implementation manner, for example, as can be understood with reference to fig. 9, 901 in fig. 9 is a frame picture corresponding to a first time, and 902 in fig. 9 is a frame picture corresponding to a second time, it can be determined based on fig. 9 that the second positional relationship at the first time indicates that the virtual character is located on the virtual vehicle, and the first positional relationship at the second time indicates that the virtual character is located on the virtual vehicle, so that it can be determined that the virtual character is always located on the virtual vehicle, and the boarding mark has been performed before, and therefore, no operation needs to be performed currently.

S705, a second position relation between the virtual character and the virtual carrier at the first moment is obtained.

In a possible implementation manner, if it is determined that the first positional relationship indicates that the virtual character is not located on the virtual vehicle, a second positional relationship between the virtual character and the virtual vehicle at the first time is further acquired, so as to determine whether the virtual character is not located on the virtual vehicle all the time or is not located on the virtual vehicle just now, that is, it is required to determine whether the virtual character performs the operation of going off the ship at the second time compared with the first time.

S706, if the second position relation indicates that the virtual character is located on the virtual carrier, determining that the carrier identifier corresponding to the virtual character is empty.

In a possible implementation manner, for example, as can be understood with reference to fig. 10, 1001 in fig. 10 is a frame picture corresponding to a first time, and 1002 in fig. 10 is a frame picture corresponding to a second time, it can be determined based on fig. 10 that the second positional relationship at the first time indicates that the virtual character is located on the virtual vehicle, and the first positional relationship at the second time indicates that the virtual character is not located on the virtual vehicle, and then it can be determined that the virtual character has just performed the operation of going off the boat, so that the virtual character can be marked to go off the boat, for example, it can be determined that a vehicle identifier corresponding to the virtual character is empty, so as to mark that the virtual character is not currently located on the virtual vehicle.

In another possible implementation manner, for example, as can be understood with reference to fig. 11, 1101 in fig. 11 is a frame screen corresponding to a first time, and 1102 in fig. 11 is a frame screen corresponding to a second time, it can be determined based on fig. 11 that the second positional relationship at the first time indicates that the virtual character is not located on the virtual vehicle, and the first positional relationship at the second time indicates that the virtual character is not located on the virtual vehicle, and then it can be determined that the virtual character is not always located on the virtual vehicle, and it has been previously determined that the vehicle identifier corresponding to the virtual character is empty, so that no operation needs to be performed currently.

It is understood that, taking the virtual vehicle as a ship as an example, the above-described boarding or disembarking operation may be triggered in response to a jumping operation, a climbing operation, and the like performed by a user, after triggering a corresponding instruction, the virtual character may correspondingly perform the corresponding boarding or disembarking operation, and after performing an uploading operation or a disembarking operation, the above-described boarding or disembarking switching procedure may be performed.

According to the object control method provided by the embodiment of the application, the first position relation between the virtual character and the virtual carrier is determined according to the third absolute position and the fourth absolute position, and then the virtual character is marked to go on or off the ship according to the second position relation at the first moment and the first position relation at the second moment, so that whether the virtual character is positioned on the virtual carrier and which virtual carrier the virtual character is specifically positioned on can be simply and effectively marked on the basis of realizing the virtual character goes on or off the virtual carrier at any time based on a world coordinate system, and the orderliness and the comprehensiveness of game data are ensured.

On the basis of the above embodiment, after the terminal device determines the game related information, the game related information needs to be synchronized to the remaining second terminal devices to ensure the synchronization of the game data.

For example, fig. 12 may be used to understand, and fig. 12 is a schematic diagram illustrating an implementation of sending synchronization information according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 12, the terminal device 1201 may send synchronization information to the server 1202, and then the server 1202 may send the synchronization information to at least one second terminal device, where the at least one second terminal device is in the same game scene as the terminal device, and may also be understood as a terminal device in the same game.

It is understood that the terminal device herein is a terminal device for displaying the graphical user interface provided in the embodiment of the present application, it may also be understood as a terminal device held by the current user, it may also be considered as a first terminal device to distinguish from a second terminal device, and the second terminal device is a terminal device held by the rest of users in the same game.

In a possible implementation manner, after determining the identifier of the virtual vehicle to the vehicle identifier corresponding to the virtual character, it may be determined that the virtual character is located on the virtual vehicle, at this time, for example, first synchronization information may be sent to the server, so that the server sends the first synchronization information to the at least one second terminal device, where the first synchronization information may include at least one of the following: the virtual vehicle comprises a vehicle identification corresponding to the virtual character and a first relative position of the virtual character relative to the virtual vehicle.

It can be understood that, taking the virtual vehicle as a ship as an example, when the virtual character is located on the ship, the terminal device may send an identifier of the ship and a first relative position of the virtual character with respect to the ship to the remaining second terminal devices through the server, and then the second terminal devices may obtain, for example, a position of the ship in a preset coordinate system according to the identifier of the ship, then determine a position of the virtual character in the preset coordinate system according to the first relative position and the position of the ship in the preset coordinate system, and then render the virtual character according to the position of the virtual character in the preset coordinate system, so that synchronization and display of position information of the virtual character may be accurately and effectively implemented.

In another possible implementation manner, after determining the carrier identifier corresponding to the virtual carrier based on the identifier of the virtual carrier, it may be determined that the virtual character is not located on the virtual carrier, and at this time, for example, second synchronization information may be sent to the server, so that the server sends the second synchronization information to the at least one second terminal device, where the second synchronization information may include at least one of: the virtual role control method comprises first indication information and an absolute position of a virtual role under a preset coordinate system at the current moment, wherein the first indication information is used for indicating that a carrier mark corresponding to the virtual role is empty.

It can be understood that, taking the virtual vehicle as a ship as an example, when the virtual character takes off the ship, the terminal device may send the first indication information to each second terminal device through the server to indicate that each second terminal device takes off the ship currently by the virtual character, and at the same time, since the virtual character does not need to move along with the virtual vehicle after taking off the ship, the absolute position of the virtual character at the current time in the preset coordinate system may also be sent to each second terminal device, so as to implement synchronization of the information about taking off the ship with each second terminal device and synchronization of the position after taking off the ship. And then rendering the virtual character according to the position of the virtual character in the preset coordinate system, thereby accurately and effectively realizing the synchronization and the display of the position information of the virtual character.

When the terminal device synchronizes the position of the virtual character with each second terminal device, the terminal device synchronizes a first relative position of the virtual character with respect to the virtual vehicle, and then each second terminal device determines an absolute position of the virtual character in the preset coordinate system according to the first relative position and the absolute position of the virtual vehicle in the preset coordinate system. The terminal device does not directly synchronize the absolute position of the virtual character in the preset coordinate system, and the following two reasons exist.

First, the absolute position of the virtual character may change very fast along with the movement of the virtual vehicle, and if the absolute position of the virtual character is directly synchronized to each second terminal device, due to the effect of network delay, when the second terminal device receives and displays the absolute position of the virtual character, the virtual character may have moved far away from the current position following the virtual vehicle, and thus the position synchronization of the virtual character between each terminal device may be wrong. However, the relative position of the virtual character with respect to the virtual vehicle is relatively fixed, and the change is relatively small, so that the accuracy of the position synchronization of the virtual object can be effectively improved by synchronizing the first relative position.

Secondly, when the position of the virtual vehicle is determined in the graphical user interface of the terminal device, for the ship, the specific representation of the ship on the sea surface fluctuating along with the sea waves is different, specifically, each terminal device processes the representation of the fluctuation by itself, so that in the graphical user interface of each terminal device, the position of the virtual vehicle is approximately the same, but is not completely the same, in this case, if the absolute position of the virtual character is directly and synchronously displayed to each terminal device, a situation that the virtual character is displayed incorrectly on part of the terminal devices may occur, for example, the virtual character falls into the virtual vehicle, or the virtual character floats on the virtual vehicle may occur. However, if the first relative position is synchronized to each second terminal device, and each second terminal device determines the absolute position of the virtual character according to the first relative position, the correct display of the virtual character can be effectively ensured, so that the display error can be effectively avoided.

In summary, according to the solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, for each virtual character in the game, by determining the relative position between the virtual character and the virtual carrier, and then determining the absolute position of the virtual character after moving spontaneously according to the absolute position of the virtual character in the world coordinate system after the virtual character moves along with the virtual carrier determined by the relative position, the movement of the virtual character and the virtual carrier can be effectively realized in the world coordinate system, wherein the movement of the virtual character along with the virtual carrier and the movement of the virtual character relative to the virtual carrier can be effectively realized, and the whole process is performed in the world coordinate system, because the virtual character is not moved in the local coordinate system of the virtual carrier, and there is no parent-child relationship between the virtual character and the virtual carrier, the virtual character can effectively realize getting on and off the transportation at any time, so as to effectively improve the comprehensiveness of game operation.

It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the movement of the virtual vehicle and the movement of the virtual character are both performed in the world coordinate system, but if the virtual vehicle and the virtual character are merely placed in the world coordinate system without any processing, the following situations may occur:

for example, for a case that the virtual vehicle is a ship, for a ship which is unmanned on the sea and ripples with the ship, the ship can heave under the action of the sea waves, and assuming that a virtual object exists on the ship, it can be understood that when the ship moves down at the action position of the sea waves, the virtual object also moves down under the action of gravity (because the support of the sole of the virtual character moves down), and when the ship moves up under the action of the sea waves, the virtual object also moves up under the support action of the ship (because the support of the sole of the virtual character moves up and comes up to the top of the virtual character), but the movement of the virtual object is completely completed under the action of force, so that the heave of the virtual object and the movement of the virtual vehicle are not synchronously realized, and the virtual character shakes.

And for the vessel which is controlled to move fast, if the virtual character exists on the vessel and no processing is performed on the virtual character, the virtual character falls into the sea from the vessel after the vessel moves.

The reason for the above two situations is that although the virtual character and the virtual vehicle are both located in the world coordinate system, no corresponding processing is performed on the movement of the virtual character and the virtual vehicle, and in the embodiments of the present application, by determining the relative position of the virtual character with respect to the virtual vehicle and then determining the absolute position of the virtual character according to the relative position and the absolute position of the virtual vehicle, corresponding processing can be performed in the world coordinate system, so as to effectively realize the synchronous movement of the virtual character with the virtual vehicle and simultaneously effectively realize the spontaneous movement of the virtual character with respect to the virtual vehicle.
