Description

Virtual object control method and device and electronic equipment

Technical Field

The application relates to the technical field of computers, in particular to a control method and device of a virtual object, and further provides related electronic equipment and a computer readable storage medium.

Background

Currently, in gaming applications, during the user's control of the movement of a virtual object, if a virtual window is encountered, the user wishes to control the virtual object to turn over the window into (out of) the room.

In the prior art, whether the virtual object turns over the virtual window is controlled by judging whether the take-off position of the virtual object for the turning-over action is in the area opposite to the virtual window, if the take-off position is in the area opposite to the virtual window, the virtual object is controlled to execute the turning-over action, otherwise, the virtual object is controlled to execute other operations.

However, because the area range over which the virtual window is over is smaller, the user needs to precisely control the virtual object to move into the area over which the virtual window is over and execute the overturning action to successfully realize the window overturning operation, so that the judgment conditions are over-limited for the user, the operation difficulty is high, and the game experience of the user is reduced. For example, during the process of the game tension fight, if the user does not notice whether the jump position of the jump action is in the area opposite to the virtual window, the user urgently controls the virtual object to execute the jump action to try to jump the window, so that other misoperation of the virtual object is extremely easy to control, and the execution of the window-flipping operation cannot be realized.

In other possible embodiments, the technical solution provided by the present application may also be executed by using the server as the execution body, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to the type of the execution body.

Next, with reference to fig. 2, a detailed description is given of a method for controlling a virtual object provided by the present application, and fig. 2 is a flow chart of a method for controlling a virtual object provided by a second embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 2, includes:

s201, displaying a virtual scene, wherein the virtual scene comprises at least one target virtual object and at least one visual channel.

The target virtual object is a virtual object controlled by the current user through the terminal.

The visual channel is used for the target virtual object to pass through from one side of the visual channel to the other side of the visual channel. Wherein the visual channel may be a virtual window, a virtual door, etc. in a virtual game scene. It is emphasized that the user can see the visual channel through the displayed game scene on the terminal. For example, a user may see a virtual room, a virtual window in a virtual scene.

In the following, a visual channel is taken as a virtual window as an example. For example, when a user manipulates a target virtual object to stand in a room facing a window, the user may manipulate the target virtual object to pass through one side of the virtual window to the other side of the virtual window. It is also understood that the user manipulates the target virtual object within the room to perform a panning action such that the target virtual object passes over the virtual window to the outside of the room.

Wherein each of the visual channels corresponds to a judgment area, and the judgment area is surrounded on the periphery of the visual channel. The judging area is used for assisting in judging whether the target virtual object can successfully pass through one side of the visual channel to reach the other side of the visual channel when the target virtual object executes the crossing action. It is understood that the determination area is an area obtained by expanding in various directions along the periphery of the visual channel. The decision area is enclosed around the periphery of the viewing channel. It should be emphasized that this decision area is not visible to the user.

Optionally, the visual channel is a virtual door, the judging area corresponding to the visual channel comprises a virtual door frame, or the visual channel is a virtual window, and the judging area corresponding to the visual channel comprises a virtual window frame.

Alternatively, the shape and the area size of the determination area corresponding to the visual channel are not limited at all, and may be the same or different. The shape and size of the regions between the determination regions corresponding to different visual channels may be the same or different.

Alternatively, the shape of the determination region is spherical, or cylindrical, or square, or cubic, or the same shape as that of the visual channel, or the like, and the shape of the determination region is not limited by the present embodiment.

Next, with reference to fig. 3, fig. 4, and specific examples, taking a visual channel as a virtual window as an example, a determination area corresponding to the visual channel is illustrated, fig. 3 is one of schematic diagrams of the determination area provided in the second embodiment of the present application, and fig. 4 is a second schematic diagram of the determination area provided in the second embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 3, the room in fig. 3 has a virtual window 301 facing south (area defined by a black solid line), and the virtual window includes a window port 3011 and a window starboard 3012 when viewed from the inside of the room (note that, since the port and starboard of the virtual window are relatively speaking, for convenience of description, 3011 is the window port and 3012 is the window starboard when viewed from the inside of the room to the outside of the room, for example). The determination region 302 (region defined by the black dotted line) is obtained by extending the window port 3011 and the window starboard 3012 of the virtual window in the east-west direction by different distances or by the same distance.

As shown in fig. 4, the room in fig. 3 has a virtual window 301 (area defined by solid black lines) facing south, which includes a window port 3011 and a window starboard 3012 as viewed from the room. The determination area 402 (area defined by the black dotted line) is obtained by extending the virtual window in the four directions of east, west, south, and north by different distances or by the same distance along the window port 3011 and the window starboard 3012.

The above examples are merely illustrative of the shape and size of the determination region, and are not limited to the shape and size of the determination region, and the shape and size of the determination region may be determined according to actual requirements, as long as the determination region is satisfied to surround the outer periphery of the visible channel.

S202, responding to the overturning action executed by the target virtual object, and controlling the target virtual object to pass through one side of the visual channel to reach the other side of the visual channel under the condition that the target virtual object faces the judging area and the position relation between the center of gravity central axis of the target virtual object and the judging area accords with a first preset condition.

In the following, three possible ways of centering the center of gravity axis of the target virtual object in the virtual scene are first described by way of example.

The terminal adopts the coordinates of the target virtual object in the virtual scene to represent the position of the target virtual object in the virtual scene.

In one possible implementation, in the 3D game application, the terminal determines that the position of the target virtual object in the virtual game scene is represented in a three-dimensional coordinate form, for example, a three-dimensional coordinate system is established by taking the center point of the virtual scene as the three-dimensional coordinate origin, and the position of the target virtual object is assumed to be a coordinate (x ₁,y₁,z₁), where the coordinate (x ₁,y₁,z₁) can represent the specific position of the target virtual object in the virtual scene. Then the center axis of gravity of the target virtual object is x=x ₁, that is, the value of the x coordinate of the target virtual object in the virtual scene is x ₁.

In another possible implementation, in a 2D game application, the terminal determines that the location of the target virtual object in the three-dimensional virtual game scene is represented in two-dimensional coordinates, such as coordinates (x ₂,y₂), which can represent the specific location of the target virtual object in the two-dimensional virtual scene. Then the center axis of gravity of the target virtual object is x=x ₂, that is, the value of the x coordinate of the target virtual object in the virtual scene is x ₂.

Next, with reference to fig. 5, an exemplary description is made of a center of gravity axis of a target virtual object, and fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a center of gravity axis of a target virtual object according to a second embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 5, a target virtual object 503 stands near a virtual window 502 in a virtual room 501, and a center axis 5031 of gravity of the target virtual object is located between a port 5022 and a starboard 5023 of the virtual window 502.

Next, two possible implementations of determining whether the target virtual object is oriented to the determination area are exemplarily described.

In one possible implementation, in a computer game scenario (i.e., a game in which a user manipulates a target virtual object through a computer and using a keyboard and a mouse), the current user adjusts the position of a mouse pointer in the virtual scenario by moving the mouse to control the orientation of the target virtual object.

Whether the target virtual object faces the judging area is judged by judging whether the position of the mouse pointer is in the judging area corresponding to the visual channel. For example, when the terminal determines that the position of the mouse pointer is in the judging area corresponding to the visual channel, the terminal determines that the target virtual object faces the judging area, otherwise, the terminal determines that the target virtual object does not face the judging area. For another example, when the terminal determines that the position of the mouse pointer is in the vicinity of the visual channel, the target virtual object is determined to be oriented to the visual channel, and otherwise, the target virtual object is determined to be not oriented to the visual channel.

Next, with reference to fig. 6, an exemplary description will be given of determining the direction of the target virtual object, and fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of the target virtual object direction determination area according to the second embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 6, when the target virtual object 503 is near the virtual window 502 and the mouse pointer 601 is displayed in the determination area 602 corresponding to the virtual window 502, the terminal determines that the target virtual object 503 is oriented to the determination area 602, which may be understood as the terminal determines that the target virtual object 503 is oriented to the virtual window 502. The virtual window 502 and the determination area 602 are two-dimensional schematic views.

In another possible implementation manner, the terminal determines whether the target virtual object faces the determination area according to the magnitude relation between the first included angle between the target virtual object and the determination area and the preset angle threshold. Specifically, when the terminal determines that the first included angle between the target virtual object and the judging area is smaller than the preset angle threshold, the terminal determines that the target virtual object faces the judging area, otherwise, the terminal determines that the target virtual object does not face the judging area.

In the following, two possible implementations of determining the first angle of the target virtual object to the decision area are exemplarily described.

In one possible implementation, a ray is emitted from a direction (direction) opposite to the target virtual object to the determination area, and an angle between the ray and the determination area is determined as a first angle.

Next, with reference to fig. 7, a visual channel is taken as an example of a virtual window, and the foregoing possible implementation manner is described, where fig. 7 is one of schematic diagrams for determining a first included angle between a target virtual object and a determination area according to a second embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 7, the virtual window 701, the target virtual object 702, and the determination area 706 corresponding to the virtual window 701 are included. A ray 704 is issued to the determination area 706 in the direction opposite to the target virtual object 702, and a reference line 704 parallel to the determination area 706 is drawn at the intersection of the ray 703 and the determination area 706. An angle 705 between the reference line 704 and the ray 703 is determined as a first angle between the target virtual object 702 and the determination region 706.

In the above figures, only the virtual window, the determination area corresponding to the virtual window, and the target virtual object are identified by way of example, which is not limited in any way.

In another possible implementation, a ray is emitted from a direction (direction) opposite to the target virtual object to the determination area, and an angle between the ray and a normal line of the determination area is determined as the first angle.

Next, with reference to fig. 8, a visual channel is taken as an example of a virtual window, and the foregoing possible implementation manner is described, where fig. 8 is a second schematic diagram of determining a first included angle between a target virtual object and a determination area according to a second embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 8, the virtual window 701, the target virtual object 702, and the determination area 706 corresponding to the virtual window 701 are included. A ray 703 is issued in the opposite direction of the target virtual object 702 to the decision region 706, and a normal vector 801 perpendicular to the decision region 706 is drawn at the intersection of the ray 703 and the decision region 706. The angle 802 between normal vector 801 and ray 703 is determined as the first angle between target virtual object 702 and decision region 706.

In this embodiment, only the implementation manner of determining the first angle between the target virtual object and the determination area is described as an example, but the implementation manner of determining the first angle between the target virtual object and the determination area may be set according to actual requirements.

It should be noted that, for the above two methods for determining the first included angles, the preset angle thresholds corresponding to the first included angles may be the same or different. The preset angle threshold value corresponding to each first included angle needs to be determined according to actual conditions.

Optionally, whether the positional relationship between the center of gravity central axis of the target virtual object and the determination area meets the first preset condition is determined.

Optionally, the first preset condition includes any one of a center of gravity axis of the target virtual object being located between a first left edge longitudinal axis and a first right edge longitudinal axis corresponding to the determination region, a center of gravity axis being located to the left of the first left edge longitudinal axis and a distance from the first left edge longitudinal axis being less than a preset distance threshold, and a center of gravity axis being located to the right of the first right edge longitudinal axis and a distance from the first right edge longitudinal axis being less than a preset distance threshold.

In the following, taking a visual channel as a virtual window as an example, a first preset condition is met by a positional relationship between a center of gravity axis of a target virtual object and a determination area, which is illustrated in fig. 9, a first schematic diagram of a first preset condition is met by a positional relationship between a center of gravity axis of a target virtual object and a determination area, which is provided in a second embodiment of the present application, and fig. 10, a second schematic diagram of a first preset condition is met by a positional relationship between a center of gravity axis of a target virtual object and a determination area, which is provided in a second embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 9, a virtual window 701, a target virtual object 702, a decision region 706 corresponding to the virtual window 701, a first left edge longitudinal axis 901 of the decision region 706, and a first right edge longitudinal axis 902 of the decision region 706. Center of gravity central axis 903 of target virtual object 702 is shifted to the left, and center of gravity central axis 903 of target virtual object is located between the first left edge longitudinal axis and the first right edge longitudinal axis corresponding to the determination region when center of gravity central axis 903 is shifted to wall 904 opposite to target virtual object 702.

As shown in fig. 10, the center of gravity central axis 905 of the target virtual object 702 is shifted to the left, and when the center of gravity central axis 905 is shifted to the wall 904 opposite to the target virtual object 702, the center of gravity central axis 905 of the target virtual object is located at the left of the first left edge longitudinal axis corresponding to the determination area, and the center of gravity central axis 905 of the target virtual object is located at the first distance 906 from the first left edge longitudinal axis. When the first distance is smaller than a preset distance threshold, the position relationship between the center of gravity central axis of the target virtual object and the judging area accords with a first preset condition.

In this embodiment, in response to the panning action performed by the target virtual object, in the target virtual object orientation determination area, and under the condition that the position relation between the center of gravity central axis of the target virtual object and the judging area accords with the first preset condition, the target virtual object is controlled to pass through one side of the visual channel and reach the other side of the visual channel. For example, taking a visual channel as a virtual window, in response to a step of performing a step of turning over the target virtual object, when it is determined that the target virtual object is oriented to the determination area and a positional relationship between a center of gravity axis of the target virtual object and the determination area meets a first preset condition, the target virtual object is controlled to turn over (or pass through) from one side of the virtual window to the other side of the virtual window.

The virtual object control method includes displaying a virtual scene, wherein the virtual scene comprises at least one target virtual object and at least one visual channel, the target virtual object is a virtual object controlled by a current user through a terminal, the visual channel is used for enabling the target virtual object to pass through one side of the visual channel and reach the other side of the visual channel, the visual channel corresponds to a judging area, the judging area surrounds the periphery of the visual channel, and under the condition that the target virtual object faces the judging area and the position relation between the center axis of gravity of the target virtual object and the judging area accords with a first preset condition, the target virtual object is controlled to pass through one side of the visual channel and reach the other side of the visual channel in response to the crossing action executed by the target virtual object. By setting the corresponding judging area for the visual channel, the judging area surrounds the whole visual channel, namely, the area coverage of the judging area is larger than that of the visual channel, and compared with the area coverage of the visual channel, a user can control the virtual object to enter into the area coverage of the judging area more easily. Therefore, when the target virtual object faces the judging area and the position relationship between the center of gravity central axis of the target virtual object and the judging area accords with the first preset condition, the target virtual object can be successfully controlled to pass through one side of the visual channel to reach the other side of the visual channel in response to the crossing action executed by the target virtual object. The method greatly improves the possibility that the user controls the target virtual object to pass through one side of the visual channel and reach the other side of the visual channel, avoids the problem that the user needs to precisely control the target virtual object to move into the cell because the area range opposite to the virtual window is smaller, otherwise, the user is very easy to control the virtual object to execute other misoperation, and improves the user experience.

Optionally, in response to a scrolling action performed by the target virtual object, in the target virtual object towards the decision area, and under the condition that the center of gravity central axis of the target virtual object is positioned between the second left edge longitudinal axis and the second right edge longitudinal axis corresponding to the visual channel, the control target virtual object passes through one side of the visual channel and reaches the other side of the visual channel.

Next, taking the visual channel as a virtual window as an example, referring to fig. 11 and a specific example, a schematic diagram of a positional relationship between a center of gravity axis of a target virtual object and the visual channel according to a second embodiment of the present application is shown in fig. 11, where fig. 11 is a schematic diagram of a positional relationship between a center of gravity axis of a target virtual object and the visual channel according to a second embodiment of the present application.

The center of gravity central axis 1103 of the target virtual object 702 is shifted leftward, and when the center of gravity central axis 1103 is shifted onto the wall 904 opposite to the target virtual object 702, the center of gravity central axis 1103 of the target virtual object is located between the second left edge longitudinal axis and the second right edge longitudinal axis corresponding to the determination region.

Optionally, in response to a scrolling action performed by the target virtual object, in the target virtual object towards the decision area, and under the condition that the position relation between the center of gravity central axis of the target virtual object and the judging area and the visual channel accords with a second preset condition, the target virtual object is controlled to pass through one side of the visual channel and reach the other side of the visual channel.

Optionally, the second preset condition includes any one of a center of gravity axis being located between the first left edge longitudinal axis and the second left edge longitudinal axis, and a center of gravity axis being located between the first right edge longitudinal axis and the second right edge longitudinal axis.

Next, taking the visual channel as a virtual window as an example, referring to fig. 12 and a specific example, a schematic diagram of a positional relationship between the center of gravity axis of the target virtual object and the determination area and the visual channel according to the second embodiment of the present application is shown in fig. 12, and a schematic diagram of a positional relationship between the center of gravity axis of the target virtual object and the determination area and the visual channel according to the second embodiment of the present application is shown in fig. 12.

As shown in fig. 12, comprising a virtual window 701, a target virtual object 702, a second left edge longitudinal axis 1101 of the virtual window 701, a second right edge longitudinal axis 1102 of the virtual window 701, a first left edge longitudinal axis 901 of the decision region 706, and a first right edge longitudinal axis 902 of the decision region 706. Center of gravity central axis 1201 of target virtual object 702 is translated to the left, and center of gravity central axis 1201 of target virtual object 702 is positioned between first left edge longitudinal axis 901 corresponding to the determination region and second left edge longitudinal axis 1101 corresponding to virtual window 701 when center of gravity central axis 1201 is translated to wall 904 opposite target virtual object 702.

Optionally, a first virtual obstacle is included in the visual channel. Wherein the first virtual obstacle may be breached.

Alternatively, the step of controlling the target virtual object to traverse the visual channel may comprise controlling the target virtual object to break the first virtual obstacle and to cross the visual channel.

For example, taking a visual channel as a virtual window, the first virtual obstacle may be a glass that can be broken, and before the user controls the target virtual object to cross the visual channel, the user first controls the target virtual object to break the glass, and then passes through one side of the virtual window to reach the other side of the virtual window.

Optionally, in response to the step of performing the step of moving over by the target virtual object, the target virtual object is controlled to climb the second virtual obstacle in a case where the target virtual object is not oriented to the determination area, the center of gravity central axis is located to the left of the first left edge longitudinal axis or the center of gravity central axis is located to the right of the first right edge longitudinal axis.

Optionally, in response to the step of performing the step of traversing the target virtual object, in the direction of the target virtual object toward the determination area, a distance between the target virtual object and the determination area is less than a third distance threshold, and under the condition that the position relation between the center of gravity central axis of the target virtual object and the judging area accords with the first preset condition, the target virtual object is controlled to pass through one side of the visual channel and reach the other side of the visual channel.

The distance between the target virtual object and the determination area refers to a linear distance between the target virtual object and the determination area.

Optionally, when the positional relationship between the center of gravity central axis of the target virtual object and the determination area meets a first preset condition, or the positional relationship between the center of gravity central axis of the target virtual object and the determination area and the visual channel meets a second preset condition, a prompt identifier is displayed in the virtual scene, and the prompt identifier is used for prompting to execute the step-over action. When the user sees the indication mark, the user can clearly know that the position of the target virtual object controlled by the user accords with the position condition of the visual channel.

In addition, compared with the prior art, a small part of the area in the direction opposite to the visual channel is used as the effective crossing range of the visual channel, the judging area in the scheme comprises the area occupied by the visual channel and the areas extending for preset distances towards the peripheral directions of the visual channel, so that the problem that the game application program misjudges the behavior of the target virtual object when the target virtual object is controlled to enter the effective crossing range corresponding to the visual channel is solved, the accuracy of the user to control the target virtual object to cross the visual channel is improved, the efficiency of human-computer interaction is improved, and compared with the prior art, the judgment area in the scheme comprises the area occupied by the visual channel and the area extending for preset distances towards the peripheral directions of the visual channel, and the game application program can greatly improve the possibility of successfully controlling the target virtual object by the user, improve the target virtual object and improve the user experience. Especially, in the fight of the tension of the virtual game, the user does not reach to control the target virtual object to the area occupied by the visual channel, and the user controls the target virtual object to execute the skip action in a panic manner in the vicinity area of the area occupied by the visual channel, so that the possibility that the user controls the target virtual object to successfully skip the visual channel is greatly improved, the evasion fluency of the virtual object is improved, and the game experience of the user is improved.

The visual channel that the target virtual object 702 is to cross is the virtual window 1302, as shown in interface (a) in fig. 13, with the target virtual object 702 facing the virtual window 1302. As the user presses the movement control 1303 to control the target virtual object 702 to move from the position 1305 to the virtual window 1302 along the direction indicated by the arrow 1304, when moving to the position 1306, the terminal detects that the center axis 1308 of the center of gravity of the target virtual object is located in the determination area 1301 corresponding to the virtual window 1302, and then determines that the positional relationship between the position 1306 where the target virtual object 702 is located and the determination area 1301 meets the first preset condition. As shown in interface (b) of fig. 13, a prompt sign 1307 with a "window-flipable" is displayed near the virtual window 1302. Therefore, after the terminal detects that the condition that the target virtual object orientation determination area is satisfied and that the positional relationship between the center axis of gravity of the target virtual object and the determination area meets the first preset condition is met, as shown in an interface (b) in fig. 13, the terminal responds to the user to trigger the scroll control 1308 to control the target virtual object to scroll, as shown in an interface (c) in fig. 13, the terminal displays a screen that the target virtual object scrolls across the virtual window, that is, the target virtual object 702 scrolls from the inside of the virtual room 1300 to the other side of the virtual window 1302 from the side of the virtual window 1302, and reaches the outside of the virtual room 1300.
