DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the implementation methods of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, a brief introduction to the terms involved in the embodiments of this application is given:

Virtual environment: It is a virtual environment displayed (or provided) when the application is running on the terminal. The virtual environment can be a simulation of the real world, a semi-simulated and semi-fictitious three-dimensional environment, or a purely fictitious three-dimensional environment. The virtual environment can be any one of a two-dimensional virtual environment, a 2.5-dimensional virtual environment, and a three-dimensional virtual environment. The following embodiments are illustrated by taking the virtual environment as a three-dimensional virtual environment, but are not limited to this. Optionally, the virtual environment is also used for virtual environment battles between at least two virtual characters. Optionally, the virtual environment is also used for battles between at least two virtual characters using virtual firearms. Optionally, the virtual environment is also used for battles between at least two virtual characters using virtual firearms within a target area, and the target area will continue to shrink as time passes in the virtual environment.

Virtual objects are movable objects in a virtual environment. These can be virtual people, virtual animals, or animated characters, for example, people, animals, plants, oil drums, walls, and rocks displayed in a 3D virtual environment. Alternatively, virtual objects can be 3D models created using animation skeletal technology. Each virtual object has its own unique shape and volume within the 3D virtual environment and occupies a portion of the space within the 3D virtual environment.

Virtual shooting props: refers to virtual weapons that attack by firing bullets in a virtual environment. Optionally, virtual shooting props can be obtained by picking up a virtual object in the virtual environment; or the virtual object can be equipped with virtual shooting props after selecting equipment on an equipment interface before entering the virtual environment. Please refer to Figure 1, which shows an equipment interface 100. The equipment interface 100 includes multiple virtual shooting props 110 for selection. When a user selects a virtual shooting prop, the equipment interface 100 will display the corresponding prop shape 120 of the virtual shooting prop, as well as the corresponding prop name 130 and prop description 140. The user can equip the virtual shooting prop by triggering the "equip" control 150. When the user enters the virtual environment, the virtual object controlled by the user will carry the virtual shooting prop.

Virtual throwing props: refers to props that trigger target functions by throwing virtual objects in a virtual environment. Schematically, virtual throwing props include combat props and tactical props according to function. Among them, combat props are throwing props that can cause virtual damage to virtual objects, such as grenades, incendiary bombs, sticky bombs, etc. Tactical props are throwing props that will not cause virtual damage to virtual objects but will affect their functions, such as smoke bombs, stun bombs, etc. Optionally, a throwing prop can trigger a target function when the throwing time reaches a preset time, or it can trigger a target function when it is thrown and there is a collision.

In related art, virtual objects, after picking up virtual throwing items, can then throw them to produce various combat or tactical effects, thereby enabling or assisting in the killing of other virtual objects. Taking a virtual grenade as an example, after picking up a virtual grenade, a virtual object can switch to using the virtual grenade using a control or shortcut key. This means that the virtual weapon held by the virtual object is a virtual grenade. When a throwing signal is received for the virtual grenade, the virtual grenade is thrown, and the virtual object can control the direction of the virtual grenade in the virtual environment. After the virtual grenade is thrown, a countdown for its explosion begins. When the countdown ends, the virtual grenade explodes, causing virtual damage to virtual objects within the explosion range. However, in the application of these virtual throwing items, the method of using them is relatively fixed: only the person who picks up the virtual throwing item can actively trigger its effect, resulting in a relatively simple human-computer interaction method.

In the embodiment of the present application, a virtual object uses a virtual shooting prop to hit other virtual objects, causing the virtual throwing props carried by other virtual objects to detach and trigger, thereby increasing the diversity of the use methods of the virtual throwing props.

The method provided in this application can be applied to virtual reality applications, three-dimensional map programs, first-person shooter games (FPS), third-person shooter games (TPS), multiplayer online battle arena games (MOBA), etc. The following embodiments are illustrated by using applications in games.

Games based on virtual environments are often composed of one or more game world maps. The virtual environment in the game simulates scenes in the real world. Users can control virtual objects in the game to walk, run, jump, shoot, fight, drive, switch to using virtual weapons, use virtual weapons to attack other virtual objects, and other actions in the virtual environment. The interactivity is strong, and multiple users can team up online to play competitive games. When a user controls a virtual object to use a virtual weapon to attack a target virtual object, the user selects an appropriate virtual weapon to attack the virtual object based on the location of the target virtual object or operating habits. Among them, virtual weapons include at least one of firearms, melee weapons, and throwing weapons. Among them, firearms include rifles, sniper rifles, pistols, shotguns and other types of firearms. Melee weapons include at least one type of dagger, knife, axe, sword, stick, pot (e.g., frying pan). Throwing weapons include ordinary grenades, sticky grenades, flash bombs, smoke bombs and other types.

The application can be any one of a virtual reality application, a three-dimensional map program, a TPS game, an FPS game, and a MOBA game. Optionally, the application can be a stand-alone application, such as a stand-alone 3D game program, or a network-connected application.

Optionally, server 340 performs primary computing tasks, while first device 320 and second device 360 perform secondary computing tasks. Alternatively, server 340 performs secondary computing tasks, while first device 320 and second device 360 perform primary computing tasks. Alternatively, server 340, first device 320, and second device 360 utilize a distributed computing architecture for collaborative computing.

In conjunction with the above-mentioned introduction to the terms and the description of the implementation environment, the method for using props in a virtual environment provided by an embodiment of the present application is described. Please refer to FIG4 , which shows a flowchart of a method for using props in a virtual environment provided by an exemplary embodiment. The method is described by taking the application of the method in a terminal as an example. The method includes:

Step 401: Display a first virtual object in a virtual environment. The virtual environment also includes a second virtual object, and the second virtual object holds a virtual shooting prop.

Optionally, the first virtual object and the second virtual object are in the same virtual environment. Optionally, the first virtual object and the second virtual object may belong to the same team, the same organization, have a friendship relationship, or have temporary communication permissions. Optionally, the first virtual object and the second virtual object may belong to different teams, different organizations, or two hostile groups. In the virtual environment, the first virtual object and the second virtual object may attack and kill each other using virtual shooting props.

Virtual shooting props are virtual firearms in a virtual environment. For example, virtual shooting props can be obtained by picking up a virtual object in the virtual environment, or by selecting equipment on an equipment interface before entering the virtual environment, whereupon the virtual object is equipped with the virtual shooting props.

In an embodiment of the present application, virtual shooting props include ordinary shooting props and special effect shooting props. When ordinary shooting props are used to hit other virtual objects, only virtual damage will be caused, while when special effect shooting props are used to hit other virtual objects, other hit effects in addition to virtual damage will be caused. For example, the second virtual object in the virtual environment holds a stun gun and uses the stun gun to hit the first virtual object. In addition to suffering virtual damage from the stun gun, the first virtual object will also show the effect of being electrocuted, that is, the first virtual object cannot use virtual props during the electric shock effect.

Step 402: Receive a hit signal from the second virtual object on the first virtual object.

In a virtual environment, a first virtual object and a second virtual object can engage in combat using virtual props and inflict virtual damage. For example, the second virtual object can attack the first virtual object using a virtual shooting prop. Specifically, the second virtual object can aim at the first virtual object and then fire a virtual bullet at it, thereby attacking the first virtual object. For example, a user controlling the second virtual object can trigger an attack control or an attack shortcut key to attack other virtual objects.

When the second virtual object successfully hits the first virtual object, a hit signal is generated, indicating that the second virtual object has successfully shot the first virtual object with its virtual shooting prop. This hit signal is generated by the special-effect shooting prop, which, upon hitting the virtual object, can control the virtual throwing prop carried by the virtual object to separate from the virtual object.

Illustratively, the second device transmits a shooting signal to the server, where the shooting signal includes the identifier of the virtual shooting prop that generated the shooting signal and the aiming direction of the virtual shooting prop. Upon receiving the shooting signal, the server performs a discrimination operation on the shooting signal to determine whether the shooting signal hits the virtual object. The virtual shooting prop identifier is used to determine the shooting range indicated by the shooting signal and the virtual damage value indicated by the shooting signal. The server determines whether the shooting signal hits the target by determining the shooting range indicated by the shooting signal and the aiming direction of the virtual shooting prop.

That is, the server receives the shooting signal of the second virtual object using the virtual shooting prop, and determines the hit situation within the shooting range of the virtual shooting prop. The hit situation is used to indicate the first target currently hit by the virtual shooting prop. Optionally, the first target includes a virtual object and a virtual item. Optionally, the hit situation can also be used to indicate that no target is hit. In response to the hit situation corresponding to the first virtual object, the server generates a hit signal and sends the hit signal to the first device, that is, the first device receives the hit signal. At the same time, the second device will also receive the hit signal and display the hit effect feedback on the interface. Schematically, the effect feedback can be effect feedback displayed in the form of damage value, or it can be effect feedback displayed in the form of virtual blood animation. In response to the hit situation corresponding to the virtual item, the server will not generate the hit signal.

Step 403 : In response to the first virtual object carrying at least one virtual throwing prop, the virtual throwing prop is controlled to separate from the first virtual object based on the hit signal.

Optionally, the virtual throwing props are props that trigger a target function in the virtual environment after being thrown. The virtual throwing props can trigger the target function when the throwing duration reaches a preset duration, or when a collision event occurs in the virtual environment after being thrown. The triggering conditions for the target function are not limited in the embodiments of the present application. In the embodiments of the present application, the virtual throwing props include combat props and tactical props. Combat props are throwing props that can cause virtual damage to virtual objects, and tactical props are throwing props that do not cause virtual damage to virtual objects but do affect their functions. For illustration, a virtual grenade in a virtual environment is used as a combat prop, and a virtual flash bomb is used as a tactical prop as an example. The virtual grenade is a prop that triggers a detonation function when it is thrown for a preset time in the virtual environment. The player controls the target virtual object to throw the virtual grenade. When the virtual grenade is thrown for a preset time, the virtual grenade detonates in the virtual environment and causes damage to virtual objects within a preset distance range from the detonation point. The virtual flash bomb is a prop that is thrown in the virtual environment and triggers a flash effect when a collision event occurs. The player controls the target virtual object to throw the virtual flash bomb. When the virtual flash bomb lands in the virtual environment, the flash function is triggered, and the vision of virtual objects within the flash range is obstructed.

Optionally, the virtual throwing prop can be a prop thrown on the ground in the virtual environment, or a prop thrown at a designated location, or a prop thrown at any other location. For example, when the virtual throwing prop is implemented as an ordinary grenade, the target prop can be thrown at any of the following locations in the virtual environment: the ground, a tabletop, a windowsill, a balcony, a cabinet, etc.; and when the virtual throwing prop is implemented as a sticky grenade, the virtual throwing prop can be thrown at the ground, a tabletop, a windowsill, a balcony, a cabinet, or at any location in the virtual environment where the sticky grenade can stick. Since ordinary grenades have no sticking effect, they can bounce off walls, furniture sides, etc. in the virtual environment. However, since sticky grenades have a sticking effect, they will stick to the first virtual object they touch after being thrown.

After receiving a hit signal from a server, the first device determines the number of virtual throwing items carried by a first virtual object controlled by the first device. If the first virtual object is determined to be carrying at least one virtual throwing item, the virtual throwing item is controlled to detach from the first virtual object in a predetermined manner based on the hit signal. If the first virtual object is determined to be carrying more than one virtual throwing item, the type of virtual throwing item is determined. If the virtual throwing item includes both tactical and combat items, the combat item is controlled to detach from the first virtual object. In one example, if the first virtual object is carrying one virtual grenade and one virtual smoke bomb, the first virtual object drops the virtual grenade after being hit by a second virtual object with a virtual shooting item. If a predetermined condition is met and the first virtual object is hit again by the second virtual object, the first virtual object drops the virtual smoke bomb. The predetermined condition can be hitting the first virtual object again within a certain time period, or it can be that a special hit effect corresponding to a special effect shooting item has a cooldown period, and the first virtual object is hit again after the cooldown period expires.

Optionally, after receiving the hit signal, the first device determines the number of virtual throwing props carried by the first virtual object; optionally, after receiving the first hit signal, the first device receives a hit signal again within a preset time period before determining the number of virtual throwing props carried by the first virtual object; optionally, the hit signal sent by the server to the first device also includes the position information of the hit first virtual object. When the first device receives two hit signals and determines that the distance between the positions corresponding to the two hit signals is within a certain range, the first device determines the number of virtual throwing props carried by the first virtual object.

Illustratively, the preset method can be controlled by the system, or by a second user controlling the second virtual object using preset controls or preset shortcut keys. Taking the system-controlled preset method as an example, after the operating system of the first device receives a hit signal and determines that the first virtual object is carrying at least one virtual throwing prop, it controls the virtual throwing prop to drop from the first virtual object.

The preset method may be a disengagement method determined based on the activity state of the first virtual object. For example, the activity state of the first virtual object is determined; in response to the activity state of the first virtual object being a stationary state, the virtual throwing prop is controlled to disengage by moving downward in a vertical direction; or in response to the activity state of the first virtual object being a moving state, the virtual throwing prop is controlled to disengage by moving downward in a parabolic direction based on the direction of the moving state.

Step 404: triggering the target function corresponding to the virtual throwing prop.

When the virtual throwing item detaches from the first virtual object, its corresponding target function is triggered. The target function can be triggered by a preset duration after the virtual throwing item detaches from the first virtual object; or by a collision event within the virtual environment after the virtual throwing item detaches from the first virtual object; or by a detonation control displayed on the virtual environment interface corresponding to the second device after the virtual throwing item detaches from the first virtual object, allowing the second user to trigger the target function of the dropped virtual throwing item by triggering the detonation control.

In one example, please refer to Figure 5. Taking the first virtual object carrying a virtual grenade as an example, the virtual environment interface 500 displays a virtual environment picture observed from the first perspective of the second virtual object. The virtual environment also includes a first virtual object 510. After the second virtual object hits the first virtual object 510 through the shooting prop 520, the virtual grenade carried by the first virtual object 510 falls to the ground in the virtual environment, and after colliding with the ground, the target function is triggered, that is, the explosion effect 530. The explosion effect 530 will cause virtual damage to the first virtual object 510.

In summary, the prop usage method based on a virtual environment provided by the embodiment of the present application is that, in the virtual environment, after the second virtual object hits the first virtual object through the virtual shooting prop, the virtual throwing prop carried by the first virtual object is detached and the target function is triggered, thereby realizing an application method of the virtual throwing prop in the virtual environment and improving the diversity of the usage methods of the virtual throwing prop.

Please refer to FIG6 , which shows a flowchart of a method for using props based on a virtual environment according to another exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method includes:

Step 601: Display a first virtual object in a virtual environment. The virtual environment also includes a second virtual object, and the second virtual object holds a virtual shooting prop.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first virtual object and the second virtual object are in the same virtual environment, and the first virtual object and the second virtual object can attack and kill each other through virtual shooting props.

Please refer to Figure 7. In the virtual environment 700, when the second virtual object 720 uses the virtual shooting prop to shoot, the virtual bullet will be fired from the muzzle. The second device will detect the movement trajectory of the virtual bullet. Taking the movement trajectory as ray 730 as an example, after the user controls the virtual object to fire, the muzzle emits a ray 730. This ray collides with the virtual objects in the virtual environment within the range. The virtual objects include virtual items and virtual objects. When the ray 730 detects the first target, it will perform target detection and return the hit status.

Step 602: Receive a hit signal from the second virtual object on the first virtual object.

In this embodiment of the present application, after a virtual object in a virtual environment is hit by a virtual shooting prop, a target marker is generated at the location of the hit. Specifically, in response to receiving a hit signal, a target marker is generated, marking the location where the virtual shooting prop hit the first virtual object. Referring to Figure 8 , a virtual environment interface 800 is displayed from the perspective of a second virtual object. After the second virtual object aims and shoots through the scope of the virtual shooting prop and hits the first virtual object 810, a target marker 820 is generated at the location where the first virtual object 810 was hit.

The model corresponding to the virtual object is attached with a damage detection box. As shown in Figure 9, multiple damage detection boxes 911 are attached to a virtual object 910 in a virtual environment 900, and collision detection boxes 912 are attached to the skeleton of virtual object 910. When a damage detection box 911 detects damage, the collision detection box 912 in the damage detection box 911 determines the hit location and attaches a target marker to the corresponding child node. The target marker moves as the virtual object moves.

Illustratively, the existence time of the target mark is limited, that is, the existence time length of the target mark on the first virtual object is a preset time length.

Step 603: Determine the number of hits of the first virtual object by the second virtual object using the virtual shooting prop according to the hit signal.

In this embodiment of the present application, the second virtual object needs to hit the first virtual object with a virtual shooting prop a number of times that reaches a preset threshold before the virtual shooting prop's hit effect is triggered, i.e., the virtual throwing prop carried by the first virtual object is controlled to detach. After receiving the hit signal, it is necessary to determine the number of times the first virtual object has been hit.

Step 604 : In response to the number of hits reaching a preset threshold, determine the number of virtual throwing props carried by the first virtual object.

Indicatively, the preset threshold is a preset number of hits set by the system, and the preset threshold is taken as two times for illustration: in response to the second virtual object hitting the first virtual object for the first time using the virtual shooting prop, a first target mark is generated; in response to the second virtual object hitting the first virtual object for the second time, a second target mark is generated.

Optionally, when the second target marker is generated, the first target marker is not in a disappeared state, i.e., the second virtual object hits the first virtual object twice within a preset time period. That is, in response to the time interval between the generation time of the first target marker and the generation time of the second target marker, it is determined that the number of hits reaches a preset threshold within the preset time period.

Optionally, the generated corresponding position of the second target marker is within a preset distance range of the corresponding position of the first target marker. Referring to FIG. 10 , which illustrates the first target marker 1010 and a range 1020 within which a hit effect can be triggered upon a second hit, the distance between the first target marker and the second target marker is determined; and in response to the distance being within the preset distance range, the number of virtual throwing props carried by the first virtual object is determined.

Step 605 : In response to the first virtual object carrying at least one virtual throwing prop, controlling the virtual throwing prop to separate from the first virtual object based on the hit signal.

The virtual throwing props include combat props and tactical props. In response to the first virtual object carrying the combat props and tactical props, the combat props are controlled to separate from the first virtual object in a preset manner.

In an embodiment of the present application, the preset method is for the virtual throwing prop to detach based on the activity state of the first virtual object. Specifically, the activity state of the first virtual object is determined; in response to the first virtual object's activity state corresponding to a stationary state, the virtual throwing prop is controlled to detach by moving downward in a vertical direction; or in response to the first virtual object's activity state corresponding to a moving state, the virtual throwing prop is controlled to detach by moving downward in a parabolic direction based on the direction of the moving state.

In one example, taking the active state of the first virtual object as a stationary state, please refer to Figure 11. In the virtual environment 1100, the first virtual object 1110 is in a stationary standing state. After being hit by the second virtual object using a virtual shooting prop, the virtual throwing prop it carries breaks away from the first virtual object from the falling start position 1120 in the direction 1130 indicated by the arrow and falls to the virtual ground.

Step 606: triggering the target function corresponding to the virtual throwing prop.

When the virtual throwing item detaches from the first virtual object, its corresponding target function is triggered. The target function can be triggered by a preset duration after the virtual throwing item detaches from the first virtual object; or by a collision event within the virtual environment after the virtual throwing item detaches from the first virtual object; or by a detonation control displayed on the virtual environment interface corresponding to the second device after the virtual throwing item detaches from the first virtual object, allowing the second user to trigger the target function of the dropped virtual throwing item by triggering the detonation control.

In summary, the prop usage method based on the virtual environment provided by the embodiment of the present application is that, in the virtual environment, the second virtual object hits the first virtual object through the virtual shooting prop and achieves a second hit, so that the virtual throwing prop carried by the first virtual object is detached and triggers the target function, realizing an application method of the virtual throwing prop in the virtual environment, and improving the diversity of the usage methods of the virtual throwing props.

Please refer to FIG12 , which shows a flowchart of a method for using props based on a virtual environment according to another exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method is applied to a second device, wherein the second device displays a virtual environment interface. The method includes:

Step 1201: Display a first control in a virtual environment interface in a first state, wherein the virtual environment includes a first virtual object.

Taking the second user manipulating the second virtual object as an example, a virtual environment interface corresponding to the virtual environment is displayed in the second device, wherein the virtual environment includes the first virtual object.

In this embodiment of the present application, the virtual shooting prop is a special-effect shooting prop that can only be equipped when in an activated state. The virtual environment interface includes a first control for controlling a second virtual object to equip the virtual shooting prop. When in the first state, the first control cannot be triggered, meaning that the second user cannot control the second virtual object to equip the virtual shooting prop.

Step 1202: In response to reaching a preset time requirement, the first control switches to a second state.

When the cooldown period of the virtual shooting prop ends, the first control switches from the first state to the second state. As shown in Figure 13, the virtual environment interface 1300 includes a first virtual object 1310. When the preset time requirement is reached, the first control 1320 illustratively changes from an untriggerable state to a flashing state, i.e., the second state. In response to receiving a trigger signal for the first control in the second state, the virtual prop controlled by the second virtual object switches to a virtual shooting prop.

Step 1203: Receive a hit signal from the second virtual object on the first virtual object.

The server receives a shooting signal of the second virtual object using the virtual shooting prop, and when determining that the hit condition indicates that the first virtual object is hit, returns a hit signal for the first virtual object to the first device and the second device.

Step 1204 : In response to the first virtual object carrying at least one virtual throwing prop, control the virtual throwing prop to separate from the first virtual object based on the hit signal.

After receiving the hit signal, the first device determines the number of virtual throwing props carried by the first virtual object, and when at least one virtual throwing prop is carried, controls the virtual throwing props to separate from the first virtual object in a preset manner based on the hit signal.

Step 1205: In response to the virtual throwing prop being separated from the first virtual object, display the second control.

The virtual environment interface also includes a second control for controlling the virtual throwing prop to trigger the target function. That is, the second user can use the second control to control the virtual throwing prop that is separated from the first virtual object to trigger the target function.

Step 1206: In response to receiving the trigger signal for the second control, trigger the target function of the virtual throwing prop.

The second user performs a trigger operation on the second control to generate a trigger signal, and based on the trigger signal, triggers the target function of the virtual throwing prop. Taking the virtual throwing prop carried by the first virtual object as a virtual grenade as an example, when the second virtual object uses a virtual shooting prop to hit the first virtual object, the virtual throwing prop carried by the first virtual object falls. At the same time, the second control is displayed on the virtual environment interface controlled by the second user. The second user triggers the second control to make the virtual grenade produce an explosion effect. Optionally, the second control and the first control can be different control functions implemented by the same control icon; the second control and the first control can also be different control functions implemented by different control icons.

In summary, the prop usage method based on a virtual environment provided by the embodiment of the present application is that, in the virtual environment, the second user can switch the virtual prop held by the second virtual object to a virtual shooting prop through the first control. After the second virtual object hits the first virtual object with the virtual shooting prop, the virtual throwing prop carried by the first virtual object is detached, and the second user who controls the second virtual object can trigger the target function of the dropped virtual throwing prop through the control, thereby realizing an application method of virtual throwing props in a virtual environment and improving the diversity of the usage methods of virtual throwing props.

Please refer to Figure 14, which shows a flowchart of the corresponding logic of the prop usage method based on a virtual environment shown in an embodiment of the present application. Taking the method applied to a shooting game as an example, where the virtual shooting prop is a blaster, the corresponding weapon effect is generated after the blaster hits the target virtual object twice. The weapon effect corresponds to the virtual throwing prop carried by the target virtual object falling and triggering the target function. The method includes the following steps:

Step 1401, equip the blaster.

Before controlling a virtual object to enter a virtual environment for combat, the player enters the equipment interface to equip a blaster and other virtual firearms or virtual props. For example, the player can equip three virtual firearms.

Step 1402, determine whether the blaster is activated.

After the virtual object enters the virtual environment, the blaster enters a cooldown state and cannot be activated, meaning the player cannot use the blaster to attack. The system determines whether the blaster is activated. When the blaster's cooldown period expires and the player triggers the first control, the blaster is considered to be in an activated state.

Step 1403, switch out the blasting gun.

When the blaster is activated, the virtual props used by the virtual object controlled by the player are switched to the blaster, and the player can perform shooting operations by controlling the blaster.

Step 1404, determine whether it is a hit.

When the system receives a shooting operation based on the blaster, it determines whether the shooting operation hits other virtual objects.

Step 1405: When it is determined that the target virtual object is hit, a target mark is mounted on the target virtual object.

The target mark corresponds to the location where the shooting operation hits, and the target mark has a marking time. When the marking time ends, the target mark will disappear.

Step 1406: Determine whether the marking time has ended.

Schematically, the length of the marking time corresponds to the type of virtual shooting props. In one example, when the virtual shooting prop is a submachine gun, the marking time of the target mark is shorter. When the virtual shooting prop is a sniper rifle, the marking time of the target mark is longer.

Step 1407: When the marking time ends, the target mark disappears.

When the marking time ends, the target marker will disappear. After the target marker disappears, when the player hits the target virtual object again with a blaster, the target marker will be generated again, but the weapon effect corresponding to the blaster will not be triggered.

Step 1408: When the marking time has not ended, determine whether the target virtual object is hit again.

When the marking time has not ended and the player hits the target virtual object again with the blaster, the weapon effect corresponding to the blaster can be triggered.

Step 1409: generate explosion effects.

When the marking time has not ended and the target virtual object is hit again, an explosion effect is generated on the target virtual object. The explosion effect is used to prompt the triggering of the weapon effect corresponding to the blaster.

Step 1410: Determine whether the target virtual object carries a virtual throwing prop.

The system determines whether the target virtual object carries a virtual throwing prop. If it does not carry a virtual throwing prop, only an explosion effect will be generated but no virtual throwing prop will fall.

Step 1411 , in response to the target virtual object carrying a virtual throwing prop, it falls and generates a corresponding target function.

When the target virtual object carries a virtual throwing prop, the virtual throwing prop will fall and produce the target function corresponding to the virtual throwing prop. For example, dropping a virtual grenade will produce an explosion effect and cause explosion damage to the target virtual object; dropping a virtual smoke bomb will produce smoke, affecting the target virtual object's line of sight.

In summary, the prop usage method based on the virtual environment provided by the embodiment of the present application is that, in the virtual environment, the second virtual object hits the first virtual object through the virtual shooting prop and achieves a second hit, so that the virtual throwing prop carried by the first virtual object is detached and triggers the target function, realizing an application method of the virtual throwing prop in the virtual environment, and improving the diversity of the usage methods of the virtual throwing props.
