In particular, a first sliding operation for the virtual joystick may be used to control a first virtual player to move in the virtual scene of the game.

For example, in a graphical user interface of a soccer game, a virtual stick is provided, which can be used to control a virtual player to move, and a first virtual player is controlled to move by a sliding touch operation (first sliding operation) for the virtual stick.

In addition, the manner of controlling the first virtual player to move in the virtual scene is not particularly limited in the present disclosure.

In an example embodiment of the present disclosure, the first virtual player is a controlled player. Specifically, the controlled player refers to a virtual player that the player is currently operating. For example, the player may control the controlled player to move; alternatively, the player may control the controlled player to defend; alternatively, the player may control the controlled player to shoot.

It should be noted that the game action that the controlled player can perform is not particularly limited in the present disclosure.

Further, in the soccer game, an attack state and a defense state may be included, and controlled players may exist in both the attack state and the defense state. Specifically, the attack state in the football game is a state that any one virtual player holds the football; the defending state in the football game is the state that all own-side virtual players do not hold the football.

Step S120, responding to the current existence of the switchable virtual player, and displaying the player identification of the switchable virtual player in the association area of the virtual rocker;

in an example embodiment of the present disclosure, the player identification of the switchable virtual player may be displayed in the associated area of the virtual stick in response to the presence of the switchable virtual player. Specifically, when there is a switchable virtual player in the virtual scene, the player identification of the switchable virtual player may be displayed in the associated area of the virtual stick.

In particular, the associated region of the virtual rocker may be any region on the graphical user interface.

For example, the associated area of the virtual joystick is the area around the virtual joystick.

It should be noted that, the specific location and size of the association area of the virtual joystick are not specifically limited in this disclosure.

In particular, the player identification of a virtual player may be used to indicate other virtual players in addition to the first virtual player. For example, the player identification corresponding to the virtual player may be a head portrait of the player; or the player identification corresponding to the virtual player may be a player ID; alternatively, the player identification of a virtual player may be a player name.

It should be noted that, the present disclosure does not make any special limitation on the specific form of the player identifier corresponding to the virtual player.

And S130, responding to a second sliding operation in the direction corresponding to the first player identification in the player identification aiming at the virtual rocker, and selecting a second virtual player corresponding to the first player identification as a virtual player to be switched.

In an example embodiment of the present disclosure, after the player identifications of the switchable virtual players are displayed in the associated area of the virtual stick through the above steps, a second sliding operation for the virtual stick toward a direction corresponding to the first player identification in the player identifications may be responded. Specifically, first sportsman's sign is one in the sportsman's sign of changeable virtual sportsman, and the second sliding operation who corresponds the direction to first sportsman's sign in virtual rocker sportsman sign means, from the second sliding operation that virtual rocker corresponds to first sportsman sign. For example, the second sliding operation is an operation of identifying a slide from the virtual stick to the first player.

In an example embodiment of the present disclosure, after receiving a second sliding operation for the virtual stick towards a direction corresponding to a first player identification in the player identifications, a second virtual player corresponding to the first player identification may be selected as the virtual player to be switched. Specifically, each sportsman's sign is corresponding to there being switchable virtual sportsman respectively, receives to the second sliding operation of first sportsman's sign corresponding direction in the virtual rocker sportsman sign, represents that the user needs to switch into the virtual sportsman of second that first sportsman sign corresponds with current controlled sportsman, at this moment, can select the virtual sportsman of second for waiting to switch that first sportsman sign corresponds.

For example, as shown in fig. 2, in response to the switchable virtual player currently existing, the player identification of the switchable virtual player is displayed in the association area 202 of the virtual rocker 201, and in response to the second sliding operation 2011 for the direction corresponding to the first player identification 2021 in the virtual rocker toward the player identification, the second virtual player 203 corresponding to the first player identification 2021 may be selected as the virtual player to be switched.

In one example embodiment of the present disclosure, the controlled player is switched to the second virtual player in response to the end of the second sliding operation while the second virtual player is in the selected state. Specifically, when the second virtual player corresponding to the first player identification is selected as the virtual player to be switched through the steps, the second virtual player can be determined to be in a selected state, and after the second sliding operation is finished, the controlled player can be switched to the second virtual player (before the second sliding operation is finished, the second sliding operation is the first virtual player).

For example, when the second virtual player corresponding to the first player identification is selected as the virtual player to be switched through the steps, the second virtual player can be determined as the selected state, when the second sliding operation leaves the touch screen of the terminal device, the second sliding operation is finished, and the controlled player can be switched to the second virtual player.

and S520, responding to the movement of the rocker out of the chassis, and selecting a second virtual player corresponding to the first player identification as a virtual player to be switched.

In an example embodiment of the present disclosure, after the slide arrival position by the second slide operation is obtained as described above, it may be determined whether the swing lever is moved out of the chassis according to the slide arrival position. Specifically, when the slide arrival position is not coincident with the chassis, the rocker is shown to be moved out of the chassis, and at the moment, the second virtual player corresponding to the first player identification can be selected as the virtual player to be switched. Particularly, as long as virtual rocker slides towards the direction that first sportsman's sign corresponds in the sportsman sign, and when the rocker shifts out the chassis, can select the virtual sportsman who is for waiting to switch in the virtual sportsman of second that first sportsman's sign corresponds.

It should be noted that the present disclosure is not limited to a specific manner of determining whether the rocker is moved out of the chassis according to the slide reaching position.

Through the steps S510-S520, whether the rocker is moved out of the chassis or not can be determined according to the slide reaching position, the rocker is responded to move out of the chassis, and the second virtual player corresponding to the first player identification is selected as the virtual player to be switched.

In one example embodiment of the disclosure, it may be detected whether there are virtual players of the same formation within a preset range of the first virtual player, and if so, it is determined that there are switchable virtual players.

It should be noted that the present disclosure is not limited to the specific size and shape of the preset range.

In an example embodiment of the present disclosure, the player identification of the switchable virtual player may be displayed in an associated area of the virtual stick according to the position of the switchable virtual player in the virtual scene. For example, the upper position of the switchable virtual player in the virtual scene may display the player identification of the switchable virtual player above the associated area of the virtual stick.

For example, as shown in fig. 6, the switchable virtual player 603 is in the upper region in the virtual scene, and the player identification 6021 of the switchable virtual player is displayed in the upper position in the associated region 602 of the virtual stick 601, and the player identification 6021 is used to characterize the virtual player 603; the switchable virtual player 604 is in the lower region in the virtual scene, and a player identification 6022 of the switchable virtual player is displayed in the lower position in the associated region 602 of the virtual stick 601, the player identification 6022 being used to characterize the virtual player 604.
