The technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure is explained in detail below:

the present example embodiment provides a virtual character skill exchange method. Referring to fig. 3, the virtual character skill exchange method provides a graphical user interface through a terminal device, where the terminal device may be the above-mentioned local terminal device, or may be a client device in a cloud interaction system, and may include the following steps:

step S310, the content displayed on the graphical user interface at least partially includes a virtual scene, where the virtual scene includes a first virtual character operated by the user through the terminal device and at least one second virtual character of the friend party.

And step S320, generating a skill control interface on the graphical user interface, wherein the skill control interface comprises a skill control corresponding to the skill data configured according to the first virtual role and at least one skill control corresponding to the skill data configured according to the second virtual role.

And S330, responding to the exchange operation of the skill control, and exchanging the skill data of the first virtual character with the skill data of the second virtual character.

And step S340, acquiring the skill data after the first virtual character exchange, and controlling the first virtual character to release the skill according to the exchanged skill data.

In an aspect provided by the disclosed example embodiments, a skill control may be displayed on the generated skill control. And responding to the exchange operation acted on the skill control, exchanging the skill data, and then controlling the virtual character according to the exchanged skill data of the virtual character. On one hand, the virtual characters obtain different skills, so that the skills can be exchanged under various conditions, and the playability and fault tolerance of the game are improved; on the other hand, the limitation that the virtual character can only use fixed skills is changed, so that the virtual character has higher control diversity and stronger flexibility; in another aspect, the time consumed by the game can be reduced, thereby improving the efficiency of game fighting and relieving the resource pressure of the server.

Next, in another embodiment, the above steps are explained in more detail.

In step S310, in response to the game starting instruction, a game interface of the current game corresponding to the first virtual character is displayed through the graphical user interface, where the game interface includes, in part, a virtual scene and at least one second virtual character in the same team as the first virtual character in the virtual scene.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the game start instruction may be generated by the terminal device through a touch operation performed by the user on the graphical user interface or other shortcut operations based on the external device. The game interface for the current game is the interface that has entered the actual game, not the interface in the preparation phase (e.g., the pick avatar interface or the game setup interface). Taking a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA for short) as an example, if a game is to be played, a game playing mode needs to be selected first, then a virtual character of the game needs to be selected, and then a plurality of virtual characters enter the game playing process together to play the actual game, and at this time, the game playing interface of the current game playing is the game playing interface of the game playing.

The game-play interface can be a whole or partial display virtual scene, the virtual scene is a scene in which virtual characters perform virtual activities, the scene can include landforms, buildings and the like, and a first virtual character of a current user and a second virtual character which is in the same team, the same camp or a cooperative relationship with the first virtual character are in the virtual scene. Other virtual characters in an enemy relationship with the first virtual character can also be included in the virtual scene, and the disclosed embodiments do not limit the objects that can be included in the virtual scene.

In step S320, a skill control interface is generated on the graphical user interface, where the skill control interface includes a skill control corresponding to the skill data configured according to the first virtual character and at least one skill control corresponding to the skill data configured according to the second virtual character.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the number of the second virtual characters is not limited, and a different number of the second virtual characters may be determined according to the rules of game play. The skill controls of the virtual character are used to characterize different skills, the different skill controls each indicating associated skill data. The skill data is used for controlling the virtual character to execute corresponding skill actions according to the skill data when the terminal equipment receives skill operation instructions aiming at the virtual character.

The skill control of the virtual character may be displayed in a manner that the skill control corresponds to the virtual character. As shown in fig. 4, the first virtual character "a" 410 corresponds to a skill control 411, a skill control 412; the second virtual character "B" 420 corresponds to the

skills control

421, 422; the second virtual character "C" 430 corresponds to a skill control 431 and a skill control 432. Or the skill controls can be integrated into a skill control pool and displayed separately from the virtual roles. The disclosed embodiments are not particularly limited herein as to how the skill controls of the virtual character are displayed. The virtual role and the skill control are correspondingly displayed, so that the relationship between the role and the skill can be visually displayed, the user can conveniently make an exchange selection, and the information transmission intuitiveness and the interaction efficiency between the user and a computer are improved.

The cooling status of the skill may also be displayed on the skill control. The cooling state may be cooling or cooled, and the cooling state may also be a specific cooling time. By displaying the cooling state, a reference can be provided for the exchange process, and the accuracy of interaction is improved. It will be appreciated that the cooling state may not be displayed, thereby avoiding displaying too much content on the graphical user interface and improving the interface information indirection.

In step S330, the skill data of the first virtual character is exchanged with the skill data of the second virtual character in response to the exchanging operation of the skill control.

In the disclosed embodiment, the form of the switching operation may be various. For example, the swap operation may be a two-click operation, wherein the skill control of the first virtual character is selected in response to a first click operation on the skill control of the first virtual character, and the skill controls of the first virtual character and the second virtual character are swapped in response to a second click operation on the skill control of the second virtual character. The exchange operation can also be a dragging operation, the skill control of the first virtual character on the initial contact point is judged according to the initial contact point on the graphical user interface of the dragging operation, the skill control of the first virtual character is dragged to the touch separation point on the graphical user interface of the dragging operation in response to the dragging operation, and the exchange with the skill control of the second virtual character at the separation point is completed. And after the skill controls of the virtual roles are exchanged, corresponding skill data are also exchanged correspondingly according to the exchanged skill controls.

In step S340, the skill data after the exchange of the first virtual character is obtained, and the skill of the first virtual character is controlled to be released according to the exchanged skill data.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the skill data may be obtained from the server and stored in the terminal device after determining the virtual character related to the game match when the game starts; after the start of the game, in the exchange process, the skill data of the virtual character may be inquired from the server, and the skill data may be configured to the first virtual character. And enabling the terminal equipment to respond to the skill operation on the virtual character and control the virtual character to release the corresponding skill.

In one embodiment of the disclosure, an implementation manner of the virtual character skill exchange method is also provided. The method further comprises the following steps:

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device may continue to operate the first virtual character in response to the control instruction for controlling the first virtual character to execute the game behavior in the virtual scene. It will be appreciated that the second avatar may also be continually controlled to perform game play in the virtual scene. For example, the terminal device corresponding to the second virtual character generates a corresponding control instruction in response to the operation of the user corresponding to the second virtual character, the control instruction for the second virtual character is uploaded to the game server by the terminal, and the terminal of the ground virtual character receives the control instruction to control the second virtual character in the virtual scene to execute the game behavior.

For example, the virtual character can be controlled to move in the virtual scene even after the skill control interface has been generated on the graphical user interface.

By implementing the embodiment of the disclosure, the office is enabled to normally operate by continuously responding to the control command in the process of exchanging the skill data. Even if the mobile terminal is in the exchange state, the exchange process can not be interrupted, the exchange can be normally carried out, and the interaction efficiency is improved.

In one embodiment of the disclosure, an implementation manner of the virtual character skill exchange method is also provided. The step of generating a skill control interface on the graphical user interface comprises:

In embodiments of the present disclosure, only the skill controls of the first virtual character and the second virtual character that agrees to the interchange skills are displayed in the skill control interface. The exchange process may be that the terminal devices of the respective users upload messages agreeing to the exchange to the game server, and the respective terminal devices further may know from the game server whether the skills of the virtual characters of the respective users may be exchanged.

Implementing embodiments of the present disclosure, only the skill controls of the first virtual character and the second virtual character that agreed to exchange may be displayed. Unnecessary information display interference can be reduced, information redundancy is reduced, and interaction efficiency is improved.

It is understood that all of the second avatar may be displayed. However, the second virtual character corresponding to the exchange approval and the second virtual character corresponding to the exchange rejection are displayed separately, and for example, the second virtual character corresponding to the exchange rejection is displayed in a special manner such as highlighting.

In one embodiment of the disclosure, an implementation manner of the virtual character skill exchange method is also provided. The step of exchanging the skill data of the first virtual character with the skill data of the second virtual character in response to the exchanging operation on the skill control further comprises:

displaying, on the graphical user interface, a skill exchange time limit configured for the first virtual character in response to an exchange operation acting on the skill control;

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the virtual role initiating the interchange (first virtual role) or accepting the interchange (second virtual role) is configured with an interchange operation limit duration independently. For example, a default countdown (30 seconds) begins after a initiates the exchange of skills, and after 5 seconds, if teammate B agrees to the skill exchange request, a default countdown (30 seconds) begins for teammate B. But now team B can interact with team a only 25 seconds long, after 25 seconds B can still exchange with other teammates but cannot continue to exchange with a because a has already passed the skill exchange time. After 10 seconds, teammate C may also be added, and the exchange between C and a can only be performed in 20 seconds.

By implementing the embodiment of the disclosure, the swappable time can be configured for each virtual role, so that the swapping efficiency is higher, all virtual roles are prevented from being continuously swapped at the same time, and the resource pressure of the server is relieved.

In one embodiment of the disclosure, an implementation manner of the virtual character skill exchange method is also provided. Prior to the step of generating a skill control on the graphical user interface, the method further comprises:

In the embodiment of the disclosure, a pause control may be provided on the graphical user interface, and the terminal device sends a message of agreeing to pause to the server in response to a pause operation acting on the pause control.

It will be appreciated that the determination of whether to suspend the session may be based on a variety of criteria. For example, only one user may be required to pause or all users in the office may be required to agree to pause, or the server may determine whether the number of agreeable persons is large in the same team. For example, a team of five people issues four consent to pause messages, including a voting instruction issued by a user operating a first virtual character through a terminal device and a voting instruction issued by a user operating a second virtual character through a terminal device. Then the server sends a game pause instruction to all terminals in the game center, and the terminals receive the game pause instruction. Or a plurality of terminal devices are connected with each other, then a pause agreement message is sent among the plurality of terminal devices, when the number of people reaches a pause condition, the current game is paused, and the control refusal response is controlled to respond to a control instruction for controlling the first virtual character to execute the game behavior in the virtual scene.

It will be appreciated that the number of pauses may also be counted and displayed on the graphical user interface via a control. For example, only a limited number of pauses, such as three, may be set in a session, or the number of pauses may not be limited. When the number of times of pausing is limited to 3 times, the number of times that the user has paused currently and the total number of times that the user can pause can be displayed on the control respectively, and the user can also initiate a request for pausing through the control.

By implementing the embodiment of the disclosure, the current game playing of the game is paused by receiving the game pause instruction. The game picture can be kept unchanged during skill exchange, and the skill exchange is facilitated.

In one embodiment of the disclosure, an implementation manner of the virtual character skill exchange method is also provided. Before the step of receiving a game pause instruction and pausing the current game play, the method further comprises:

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the voting instruction may indicate a plurality of voting statuses, for example, including approval, rejection, and abandonment, and the instruction may be added with more instructions, for example, to limit disapproval pause, pause after approving five minutes, and the like.

And generating a voting control for displaying the voting state. The voting states indicated by the voting instructions can be collectively displayed in a list, and the displayed voting states can be sorted when displayed, for example, the voting states can be sorted according to time sequence according to the generation time or the receiving time of the voting instructions; the voting states belonging to the same category may be displayed together, or the voting states of different categories may be displayed separately. Different voting states may be distinguished in different colors, for example, agreeing to pause as a green or "√" symbol, with different meaning as a red or "x" symbol, and the disclosed embodiments are not limited thereto.

For example, as shown in fig. 5, in the game screen of the game, a voting control 510 is generated at the upper right corner, and a voting state 511, a voting state 512, and a voting state 513 are displayed on the voting control 510, respectively.

By implementing the embodiment of the disclosure, the voting control is generated by detecting the voting state indicated by the obtained voting instruction, and the voting state is displayed on the voting control. The pause process can be accurately and instantly communicated to the user, so that the user has higher mastery degree on the information in the game.

In one embodiment of the disclosure, an implementation manner of the virtual character skill exchange method is also provided. Prior to the step of obtaining the skill data after the first virtual character swap, the method further comprises:

And when the current skill control of the first virtual role is determined, the terminal equipment does not respond to the exchange operation of the skill controls any more, does not exchange the skill controls any more, and finishes the skill exchange.

In the disclosed embodiment, the confirmation signal includes both a user confirmation signal and a system confirmation signal, and when any one confirmation signal is detected, the determination of the current skill control of the first virtual character can be started.

The user confirmation signal is generated by the terminal device in response to a confirmation operation of the user. May be generated in response to a user acting on a physical device on the terminal device, such as a mouse, keyboard or handle, etc.; or generating a confirmation control on a graphical user interface on the terminal equipment, and generating a user confirmation signal in response to a confirmation operation on the confirmation control.

Optionally, when the user confirmation signal is generated, the virtual character controlled by the user may be synchronously identified, which indicates that the skill of the corresponding virtual character has been determined. For example, as shown in fig. 6, a first virtual character 611 and other second

virtual characters

612, 613 are displayed below a skill control, which also includes a confirmation control 614 thereon, above which is an indication of whether the skill representing the virtual character has been determined.

And the system confirmation signal is automatically generated by the terminal equipment after the skill control is generated and a preset time period passes. After the skill controls are generated, the skill controls of the virtual characters can be exchanged, but the exchange time cannot be too long, so that the influence on the process of the game competition of the whole game is avoided. For example, after the skill control is generated, a preset countdown module is activated, and the countdown may be displayed inside or outside the skill control. If the user confirmation signal is not detected, the terminal equipment directly generates a system confirmation signal when the countdown is finished.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, optionally, the viewing operation on the skill control may be a click operation, a long-press operation, or the like. In response to the viewing operation, the terminal device may request the skill information of the response from the server, or may obtain the skill information corresponding to all the skill controls from the server in advance when the game starts. The skill information is used to describe the characteristics of the corresponding skill of the skill control, such as skill cooling time, attack distance, attack effect and other skill characteristics.

The information display window can be generated beside the skill control for which the viewing operation is directed, and when the skill information is displayed in the information display window, the information of the skill information can be displayed in a differentiated manner, for example, the skill name information and the skill effect information are displayed separately.

By implementing the embodiment of the disclosure, the skill information corresponding to the skill control is acquired by responding to the viewing operation of the skill control, and the skill information is displayed on the generated information display window. Therefore, related information of skills can be conveniently checked in exchanging skills, the problem that a user is familiar with the skills is avoided, and the efficiency of skill exchange is improved.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the terminal device may set the skill control to be in a locked state in response to a locking operation on the skill control interface. The locking operation may be, for example, a long press operation or a double click operation; alternatively, a function menu may be generated in response to the long press operation, and the locking may be completed based on the operation of the locking function of the function menu.

The skill control in the locked state cannot be exchanged, and may be that the skill control cannot be operated by the user of the virtual role corresponding to the skill control, or cannot be exchanged by other users besides the user of the virtual role corresponding to the skill control. It is understood that the skill control in the locked state may also be unlocked, which may be based on an operation similar to the locking operation, for example, unlocking by long pressing the skill control again, or generating a function menu after long pressing, and clicking an unlocking function in the function menu to complete unlocking.

In one embodiment of the disclosure, an implementation manner of the virtual character skill exchange method is also provided. The step of exchanging the skill data of the first virtual character with the skill data of the second virtual character in response to the exchanging operation on the skill control comprises:

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the terminal device firstly responds to the selection operation of the skill control of the first virtual role to determine a plurality of first skill controls to be exchanged, the selection operation may be a plurality of times of clicking the operation, and the clicked skill control of the first virtual role is used as the first skill control to be exchanged; the skill control of the first virtual character on the path passed by the graphical user interface by the sliding operation is used as the first skill control to be exchanged. After the first to-be-exchanged skill control is determined, the first to-be-exchanged identifier may be displayed specifically, such as enlarged or highlighted around the identifier, etc., to alert the user as to which identifiers have been selected.

The first avatar exchanges the second avatar skill control through the first to-be-exchanged skill control. And then determining a plurality of second skills to be exchanged of the second virtual character by responding to the selection operation of the skills control of the second virtual character, wherein the plurality of second skills to be exchanged can be from the same virtual character or from a plurality of virtual characters.

For example, as shown in fig. 7, the skill control 711 and the skill control 712 of the first virtual character "a" 710 are selected as the first skill control to be exchanged, and a "√" symbol is added to the first skill control to be exchanged to indicate that the skill control is the first skill control to be exchanged. And selecting one skill control 111 of the second virtual character B as a second skill control to be exchanged, selecting one skill control 11 of the second virtual character C as the second skill control to be exchanged, and adding a symbol of 'check mark'.

It is to be easily understood that, a plurality of second skills controls to be exchanged of the second virtual character may be determined first, and then a plurality of first skills controls to be exchanged of the first virtual character may be determined.

It should be noted that although the various steps of the methods of the present disclosure are depicted in the drawings in a particular order, this does not require or imply that these steps must be performed in this particular order, or that all of the depicted steps must be performed, to achieve desirable results.
