A joystick 202: a user may control the controlled virtual object to move in the virtual scene by touching the joystick 202. In some embodiments, the user may also control a movement direction of a dependent virtual object of the controlled virtual object by touching the joystick 202, wherein the dependent virtual object may be a virtual object that may be summoned by the controlled virtual object through virtual skills.
Skill controls 203: the user may release different skills by clicking on different skill controls 203. In some embodiments, the user may also control a skill release direction by dragging the skill control 203.
An attack control 204: a user may control the virtual object to make a “normal attack” by clicking on the attack control 204. The user may set different “normal attack” for different virtual objects. For example, the user may set “normal attack” modes for the first type of virtual objects as “prioritize the attack on the nearest unit”. The user may set the “normal attack” mode for the second type of virtual objects as “prioritize the attack on a unit with a minimum virtual life value”. The terminal may control the controlled virtual object to execute a different “normal attack” mode when the user clicks on the attack control 204 according to the “normal attack” mode set by the user.
A signal sending control 205: the user may send a shortcut signal to other users on the same team by clicking on the signal sending control 205. For example, a signal for reminding the disappearance of an enemy, or a signal for reminding the initiation of an attack, or a signal for reminding the withdrawal, etc. are sent, which will not be limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the shortcut signal is displayed in the form of an expression in the virtual scene. For example, the signal for reminding the initiation of the attack is displayed as an expression where two swords intersect in the virtual scene, and the signal for reminding the withdrawal is displayed as a shield expression in the virtual scene.
A feature extension control 206: the user may control the terminal to display other controls by clicking on the feature extension control 206. For example, after the user clicks on the feature extension control 206, the terminal may display other types of signal sending controls in the virtual scene 200, or display an expression sending control, etc.; and the user may send an expression in the virtual scene by clicking on the expression sending control, and this expression may be seen by other users in the same team.
In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the technical solutions provided in the present disclosure may be performed by the first terminal 110, the second terminal 120 or the third terminal 130, which will not be limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. The following will be explained by taking the executive main body being the first terminal 110 as an example.
Step 301: The first terminal displays a virtual scene with a controlled virtual object displayed in the virtual scene.
The virtual scene is a game scene. The controlled virtual object is also a virtual object controlled by the first terminal in the virtual scene. The user may control the controlled virtual object to move in the virtual scene and fight against other virtual objects through the first terminal.
Step 302: The first terminal displays a first expression corresponding to a first interaction event in the virtual scene in response to that the first interaction event happens in the virtual scene, the first interaction event being an interaction event associated with a first virtual object, the first virtual object being a virtual object in the same team as the controlled virtual object.
The interaction event is an event having an interactive nature in the virtual scene, e.g., an event that a user controls the virtual object to defeat virtual objects of other teams in the virtual scene, or a user controls the virtual object to defeat a certain wild monster in the virtual scene. In some embodiments, the wild monster is also referred to as a neutral creature. The user controlling the virtual object to defeat the certain wild monster may add attribute values to the virtual object controlled by himself/herself and a virtual object controlled by another user in the same team, e.g., increase the attack power, defense power or skill damage of the virtual object. The first expression corresponds to the first interaction event. The first terminal displaying the first expression may also function to remind the occurrence of the first interaction event in the virtual scene.
Step 303: The first terminal displays a second expression in the virtual scene in response to an operation on the first expression, the second expression being used for replying to the first expression.
Through the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, during the game, the first expression corresponding to the first interaction time is displayed in the virtual scene in response to a teammate of the controlled virtual object triggering the first interaction event. In response to that a player wants to reply to the first expression, there may not be a need to open the chat box to select, and a response on the second expression may be made rapidly by performing the operation on the first expression directly, thereby achieving high efficiency of human-computer interaction.
The above-mentioned steps 301 and 303 are a brief introduction to the technical solutions provided by the present disclosure. The technical solutions provided by the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to some examples.
Step 401: The first terminal displays a virtual scene with a controlled virtual object displayed in the virtual scene.
In some embodiments, the virtual scene is a game scene of the MOBA game, and the controlled virtual object is a virtual object controlled by the first terminal. The user may control the virtual object through the first terminal to perform behaviors, e.g., to move in the virtual scene, release virtual skills to attack virtual objects in other teams or release virtual skills to treat virtual objects in the same team.
In some embodiments, in response to that the user opens a virtual counterpart, the first terminal displays a virtual scene corresponding to the virtual counterpart, and displays a controlled virtual object in the virtual scene. One virtual counterpart is also one round of the MOBA game, the virtual scene displayed by the first terminal is a partial area of the virtual scene, the controlled virtual object is displayed in the center of the virtual scene displayed by the first terminal, and the virtual scene displayed by the first terminal moves with the movement of the controlled virtual object. In some embodiments, the virtual scene displayed by the first terminal is also referred to as a field of view range of the controlled virtual object. In response to that other virtual objects enter the field of view range of the controlled virtual object, the first terminal may also display the other virtual objects.
Referring to
Step 402: The first terminal displays a first expression corresponding to a first interaction event in the virtual scene in response to that the first interaction event happens in the virtual scene, the first interaction event being an interaction event associated with a first virtual object, the first virtual object being a virtual object in the same team as the controlled virtual object.
In some embodiments, the first terminal displays the first expression in the virtual scene in response to that a control terminal of the first virtual object issues the first expression in the virtual scene. The first expression issued by the control terminal of the first virtual object in the virtual scene is also one first interaction event, and an expression corresponding to the first interaction event is also the first expression. Corresponding to the implementation environment in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the control terminal of the first virtual object is also the second terminal 120 in the implementation environment, and a user using the second terminal 120 and a user using the first terminal 110 are teammates in this round of the game.
In response to that the control terminal of the first virtual object, i.e., the second terminal, issues the first expression in the virtual scene, the first terminal may display the first expression so as to realize the communication between different users in the same team and improve the efficiency of human-computer interaction.
For example, the second terminal displays the virtual scene, and the virtual scene displayed by the second terminal includes a virtual object controlled by the second terminal, i.e., the first virtual object. In the game process, in response to that the user using the second terminal, i.e., a second user, wants to communicate with other users in the same team by sending expressions, the second user may trigger an expression transmission operation in the virtual scene displayed on the second terminal. In response to the expression transmission operation, the second terminal sends a first request to a server, the first request carrying a first expression corresponding to the expression transmission operation. The server acquires the first expression from the first request in response to receiving the first request, and sends a first instruction to the first terminal, the first instruction carrying the first expression. The first terminal acquires the first expression from the first instruction in response to receiving the first instruction. The first terminal displays the first expression in the virtual scene.
The operation of displaying, by the second user, the expression transmission operation triggered in the virtual scene on the second terminal includes any one of the followings.
The control corresponding to the first expression is a signal sending control or an expression sending control. The following will be described by taking the control corresponding to the first expression being the signal sending control and the expression sending control respectively as an example.
Taking the control corresponding to the first expression as the signal sending control as an example, the signal sending control is also the signal sending control 205 in
In some embodiments, the signal sending controls include sending controls that send an attack signal, a retreat signal, and a disappearance signal. The attack signal is used for reminding the teammate to control the virtual object to initiate an attack, the retreat signal is used for reminding the teammate to control the virtual object to withdraw, and the disappearance signal is used for reminding the teammate that a hostile virtual object disappears and attention may need to be paid. Accordingly, in response to that the signal sending control clicked by the second user is a sending control for sending the attack signal, the first expression corresponding to the signal sending control is an expression for reminding to the initiation of an attack, for example, an expression where two swords intersect. In response to that the signal sending control clicked by the second user is a sending control for sending the retreat signal, the first expression corresponding to the signal sending control is an expression for reminding the withdrawal, such as a shield expression. In response to that the signal sending control clicked by the second user is a sending control for sending the disappearance signal, the first expression corresponding to the signal sending control is an expression for reminding the disappearance of an enemy, such as an exclamation mark expression.
In response to that the signal sending control clicked by the second user is an attack signal sending control, referring to
Taking the control corresponding to the first expression being the expression sending control as an example, the expression sending control is a control displayed after clicking on the feature extension control 206 in
The virtual scene displayed on the second terminal includes a chat control. In response to a clicking operation on the chat control, the second terminal displays a chat window in the virtual scene, and the expression selection control is displayed in the chat window. The second terminal displays at least one candidate expression in response to the clicking operation of the second user on the expression selection control. In response to a clicking operation on the first expression in the at least one candidate expression, the second terminal sends the first request to a server, the first request carrying the first expression. The server acquires the first expression from the first request in response to receiving the first request, and sends a first instruction to the first terminal, the first instruction carrying the first expression. The first terminal acquires the first expression from the first instruction in response to receiving the first instruction. The first terminal displays the first expression in the virtual scene.
In some embodiments, in response to the expression transmission operation, the second terminal is further capable of displaying the first expression corresponding to the expression transmission operation in the virtual scene. The first expression sent by the second terminal may be displayed not only on the first terminal but also on the second terminal for the second user to view.
In some embodiments, in response to of a plurality of second terminals, the server may send, in addition to the first instruction to the first terminal, the first instruction to other second terminals to cause the other second terminals to display the first expression in the virtual scene.
In this embodiment, all the users in the same team may view the first expression sent by the second terminal, so as to realize the interaction between a plurality of users in the same team and improve the interaction efficiency.
In some embodiments, in response to that a first virtual object triggers a target event in the virtual scene, the first terminal displays the first expression corresponding to the target event in the virtual scene. In some embodiments, the first virtual object triggering the target event in the virtual scene is also referred to as a “highlight moment” of the first virtual object.
In some embodiments, the target event includes any of the followings: the first virtual object defeats a target virtual creature in the virtual scene; the first virtual object robs the target virtual creature from the second virtual object in the virtual scene; the first virtual object defeats one second virtual object in the virtual scene, and the second virtual object is the first virtual object defeated in the virtual scene; and the first virtual object defeats a plurality of second virtual objects consecutively in the virtual scene.
The target virtual creature refers to a virtual creature with a higher attribute value in a virtual scene, and defeating the target virtual creature may add attribute values to all the virtual objects in the same team. For example, life values, or attack power or defense power, etc. may be added to all virtual objects in the same team. In some embodiments, defeating the target creature may also summon a virtual creature in the virtual scene, and the summoned virtual creature may help defeat a team fight of the target virtual creature. Defeating the target virtual creature in the virtual scene may enhance the fighting capability of the own team and increase the winning probability of the own team. The first virtual object is a virtual object in the same team as the controlled virtual object, namely, a virtual object controlled by the second terminal; and the second virtual object is a virtual object in a different team from the controlled virtual object, namely, a virtual object controlled by the third terminal.
“The first virtual object robs the target virtual creature from the second virtual object in the virtual scene” means that a damage value caused by the second virtual object to the target virtual creature is greater than a target threshold value, but the target virtual creature is defeated by the first virtual object, wherein the “defeated” means “the final blow”, that is to say, the attack of the first virtual object reduces a virtual life value of the target virtual creature to zero.
“The first virtual object defeats one second virtual object in the virtual scene, and the second virtual object is the first virtual object defeated in the virtual scene” means that the first virtual object defeats a virtual object in a hostile team first in a virtual counterpart. In some embodiments, this scenario is referred to as the “First Blood” in the MOBA game.
“The first virtual object defeats a plurality of second virtual objects consecutively in the virtual scene” means that the first virtual object defeats the plurality of second virtual objects consecutively at a frequency less than or equal to a target time interval in the virtual scene. The target time interval is set by a person skilled in the art according to actual situations, for example, being set as 10 s or 15 s, which will not be limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. In response to that the target time interval is 10 s, it means that the first virtual object defeats the plurality of second virtual objects, and the time interval between moments of defeating any two second virtual objects is less than or equal to 10 s. In the MOBA game, a scenario where the first virtual object defeats two second virtual objects consecutively in the virtual scene at a frequency less than or equal to the target time interval is referred to as “double-kill” or “double-break”; and a scenario where three second virtual objects are defeated consecutively is referred to as “triple kill” or “triple break”, and so on.
For example, the server sends the first instruction to a first terminal in response to the first virtual object triggering the target event in the virtual scene, in the first instruction carrying the first expression corresponding to the target event. The first terminal receives the first instruction, then acquires the first expression from the first instruction, and displays the first expression in the virtual scene. For example, taking the target event where the first virtual object defeats the plurality of second virtual objects consecutively in the virtual scene as an example, referring to
In some embodiments, in response to that the first virtual object is defeated in the virtual scene and the control terminal of the first virtual object issues the first expression in the virtual scene, the first terminal displays the first expression in the virtual scene.
The first virtual object being defeated in the virtual scene means that the life value of the first virtual object is reduced to zero. In some embodiments, the first virtual object may be defeated by the second virtual object in the virtual scene, may be defeated by a defense tower, or may be defeated by a virtual creature, which will not be limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. In this implementation, the first expression is an expression of apology or frustration from a user controlling the first virtual object, i.e., the second user.
For example, a second terminal displays an expression sending control corresponding to the first expression in the virtual scene in response to that the first virtual object is defeated in the virtual scene. In response to a clicking operation on the expression sending control, the second terminal sends the first request to the server, the first request carrying the first expression. The server acquires the first expression from the first request in response to receiving the first request, and sends a first instruction to the first terminal, the first instruction carrying the first expression. In response to the first instruction, the first terminal acquires the first expression from the first instruction. The first terminal displays the first expression in the virtual scene.
For example, referring to
In some embodiments, in response to that the first interaction event happens in the virtual scene, the first terminal plays an animation corresponding to the first expression in the virtual scene.
The animation corresponding to the first expression is configured by a person skilled in the art. For example, the person skilled in the art makes an expression and an animation corresponding to the expression well, and then stores the expression and the animation corresponding to the expression in a binding mode. In the scenario that the first interaction event happens in the virtual scene, the first terminal may directly load the animation corresponding to the first expression, and play the animation in the virtual scene.
In some embodiments, the first terminal displays an avatar of the first virtual object next to the first expression. For example, referring to
In this implementation, a user may quickly know that the first expression is an expression sent by a control terminal (i.e., the second terminal) of the first virtual object by looking at the avatar next to the first expression, so as to facilitate the user to decide whether to reply to the first expression, thereby achieving high efficiency of human-computer interaction.
A position where the first terminal displays the first expression is described below.
In some embodiments, avatars of a plurality of virtual objects in the team are displayed in the virtual scene; and in response to the first interaction event happening in the virtual scene, the first terminal displays the first expression corresponding to the first interaction event under the avatar of the first virtual object.
In this implementation, a user may quickly know that the first expression is an expression sent by the control terminal (i.e., the second terminal) of the first virtual object by looking at an avatar above the first expression, so as to facilitate the user to decide whether to reply to the first expression, thereby achieving high efficiency of human-computer interaction.
For example, referring to
In some embodiments, the first terminal displays the first expression in the upper right corner of the virtual scene such that the display of the first expression does not interfere with the user's view of the virtual scene and avoids the occlusion to the virtual scene by the first expression. For example, referring to
In some embodiments, a virtual map is displayed in the virtual scene, and the first terminal displays the first expression next to the virtual map. For example, the first terminal displays the first expression on the right side of the virtual map or displays the first expression below the virtual map. Since the virtual map is what the user frequently views during the game, displaying the first expression around the virtual map by the first terminal may increase the probability that the user sees the first expression. For example, referring to
In some embodiments, after 402, the first terminal may perform the following steps 403 or 404 according to actual situations, which will not be limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.
Step 403: The first terminal displays a second expression in the virtual scene in response to an operation for the first expression, the second expression being used for replying to the first expression.
In some embodiments, in response to a clicking operation for the first expression, the first terminal displays the second expression of the same type as the first expression in the virtual scene. In some embodiments, this mode of triggering the second expression is also referred to as “fast sending of expressions”.
“The first terminal displays a second expression of the same type as the first expression in the virtual scene” means that in response to that the first expression is a “Cute” expression, the first terminal will also send a “Cute” expression after the user clicks on the first expression. In response to that the first expression is a “Smiley” expression, the first terminal will also send a “Smiley” expression after the user clicks on the first expression.
In this implementation, the user may directly click on the first expression to control the first terminal to display the second expression while wanting to reply to the first expression, without performing related operations such as expression selection, thereby achieving high efficiency of human-computer interaction.
For example, in response to a clicking operation on the first expression, the first terminal acquires a second expression of the same type as the first expression. The first terminal displays the second expression in the virtual scene. In some embodiments, the first terminal may also send a second request to the server in response to acquiring the second expression of the same type as the first expression, the second request carrying the second expression. The server acquires the second expression from the second request in response to receiving the second request, and the server sends a second instruction to the second terminal, the second instruction carrying the second expression. In response to receiving the second instruction, the second terminal acquires the second expression from the second instruction. The second terminal displays the second expression in the virtual scene. That is, while a user clicks on the first expression and controls the first terminal to display the second expression, other users belonging to the same team as the user may also see the second expression via the second terminal, so as to achieve a user-user interaction. The types of the first expression and the second expression are set by a person skilled in the art according to actual situations, which will not be limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, in response to that the first expression is an “Apology” expression, the person skilled in the art may bind a “Consolation” expression with the “Apology” expression; and in response to that the user clicks on the “Apology” expression, the first terminal may display the “Consolation” expression, while the first terminal sends the second request to the server, the second request carrying the “Consolation” expression. The server acquires the “Consolation” expression from the second request in response to receiving the second request, and the server sends the second instruction to the second terminal, the second instruction carrying the “Consolation” expression. In response to receiving the second instruction, the second terminal acquires the “Consolation” expression from the second instruction. The second terminal displays the “Consolation” expression in the virtual scene. The user who sends the “Apology” expression may also feel the encouragement from their teammates through the “Consolation” expression. For example, referring to
In some embodiments, in response to a drag operation on the first expression, the first terminal displays an expression selection area in the virtual scene, the expression selection area having at least one candidate expression displayed therein. In response to a clicking operation on the second expression in the at least one candidate expression, the first terminal displays the second expression in the virtual scene.
In this implementation, the user may, in response to wanting to reply to the first expression, drag the first expression, and select the second expression that is desired to be sent in the displayed expression selection area, thereby giving the user greater autonomy and improving the user's gaming experience.
For example, referring to
The candidate expressions in the expression selection area are set by a person skilled in the art according to actual situations, which will not be limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, the person skilled in the art may configure an “Encouragement” expression, a “Smiley” expression and a “Sad” expression in the expression selection area, a user may select the second expression in the expression selection area to reply to the first expression, and the second expression selected by the user may also be seen by other users in the same team, so as to facilitate communication between users.
In some embodiments, the expression selection area includes a plurality of sub-areas, and the at least one candidate expression is displayed in the plurality of sub-areas, respectively. In this implementation, the terminal may display the at least one candidate expression in the plurality of sub-areas respectively, different sub-areas may separate the plurality of candidate expressions, and the user may select a desired candidate expression from the different sub-areas.
For example, the expression selection area is a circular area, one sub-area is a part of the circular area, and a type icon corresponding to the at least candidate expression is displayed in the center of the circular area. In some embodiments, the expression selection area is a rotatable area. In response to a sliding operation on the expression selection area, the first terminal controls the expression selection area to rotate in a direction of the sliding operation. That is, the user may view different candidate expressions by sliding the expression selection area. In the rotation process of the expression selection area, the candidate expression rotates accordingly, and the user may rotate the candidate expression to a desired position and then make an expression selection. In this scenario, the expression selection area is also referred to as an expression wheel. The type icons displayed in the center of the circular region are used to represent the types of the plurality of candidate expressions displayed in the sub-areas, and a user may determine the types of the plurality of candidate expressions by viewing the type icons.
In some embodiments, at least one expression type icon is displayed in the expression selection area, each expression type icon corresponding to at least one candidate expression. The first terminal displays a second expression corresponding to a target expression type icon in the virtual scene in response to a clicking operation on the target expression type icon in the at least one expression type icon. The expression type icon is also an icon representing the type of the corresponding expression. For example, the expression types include a “Consolation” expression, a “Smiley” expression, a “Sad” expression, etc. Taking the target expression type icon being an icon corresponding to the “Consolation” expression as an example, the first terminal displays the “Consolation” expression in the virtual scene in response to a clicking operation for the target expression type icon. It should be noted that the expression corresponding to the expression type icon is set by the user according to the preferences. For example, the user may set the expression corresponding to at least one expression type icon on the first terminal before the game starts; and in response to the completion of the setting, in response to that the user clicks on the corresponding expression type icon in the game, the first terminal may display the expression set by the user for the expression type icon, thereby enriching the user's selection and improving the user's game experience.
In some embodiments, the at least one candidate expression displayed in the expression selection area is an expression corresponding to the controlled virtual object. In response to the user clicking on the second expression in at least one candidate expression, the second expression displayed by the first terminal in the virtual scene is the expression corresponding to the controlled virtual object, and other users may know which user transmission side the second expression is from by viewing the second expression, thereby achieving extremely high efficiency of human-computer interaction. In some embodiments, in response to the clicking operation on the second expression in the at least one candidate expression, the first terminal is further capable of controlling the controlled virtual object to perform an action corresponding to the second expression in addition to displaying the second expression in the virtual scene. “Control” herein means to display. That is, the control process is performed by the server, and the first terminal displays the process of the controlled virtual object to perform the action, or the process of the controlled virtual object to perform the action is directly controlled by the first terminal, which will not be limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. A corresponding relationship between the second expression and the action is set by a person skilled in the art according to actual situations. For example, the person skilled in the art may store the second expression and the corresponding action in a binding mode in response to completing the making of the second expression and the corresponding action; and in response to the second expression being selected, the first terminal controls the controlled virtual object to perform the action corresponding to the second expression. In this implementation, in addition to being able to display the second expression in the virtual scene, the first terminal is also able to control the controlled virtual object to perform a corresponding action, thereby enriching a display effect of the second expression and improving the user's game experience.
In some embodiments, in response to the operation on the first expression, the first terminal displays the second expression in the virtual scene in an zoomed-in manner. In some embodiments, the second expression is a vector graphic, and the first terminal may display the second expression in the zoomed-in manner in response to displaying the second expression, so as to facilitate the user to view.
For example, in response to the operation on the first expression, the first terminal determines the second expression corresponding to the operation, and the first terminal displays the second expression in the virtual scene in the zoomed-in manner. The first terminal may also send the second request to the server in response to determining the second expression corresponding to the operation, the second request carrying the second expression, so that the server sends the second instruction carrying the second expression to the second terminal. The second terminal displays the second expression in the virtual scene in the zoomed-in manner in response to receiving the second instruction.
In some embodiments, the terminal plays an animation corresponding to the second expression in the virtual scene in response to the operation on the first expression.
The animation corresponding to the second expression is configured by a person skilled in the art. For example, the person skilled in the art makes the expression and the animation corresponding to the expression well, and then stores the expression and the animation corresponding to the expression in a binding mode. In response to the operation on the first expression, the first terminal may directly load the animation corresponding to the second expression, and play the animation in the virtual scene.
For example, in response to the operation on the first expression, the first terminal determines the second expression corresponding to the operation, and the first terminal plays the animation corresponding to the second expression in the virtual scene. In response to the operation on the first expression, the first terminal is also capable of sending the second request to the server, the second request carrying the second expression, such that the server sends the second instruction carrying the second expression to the second terminal. The second terminal plays the animation corresponding to the second expression in the virtual scene in response to receiving the second instruction.
In some embodiments, the first terminal updates the first expression to the second expression in response to the operation on the first expression.
In this implementation, the first terminal only displays one expression at the same time, so as to avoid the occlusion on the virtual scene caused by a larger number of displayed expressions, thereby improving the user's game experience.
For example, in response to the operation on the first expression, the first terminal determines the second expression corresponding to the operation. The first terminal cancels the display of the first expression and displays the second expression on a display position of the first expression. In response to the operation on the first expression, the first terminal is also capable of sending the second request to the server, the second request carrying the second expression, such that the server sends the second instruction carrying the second expression to the second terminal. The second terminal updates the first expression to the second expression in the virtual scene in response to receiving the second instruction.
In some embodiments, the first terminal displays the second expression over the controlled virtual object.
In some embodiments, in response to that the first interaction event happens in the virtual scene, the first terminal displays an interaction control corresponding to the first expression in the virtual scene. In response to the operation on the interaction control, the first terminal displays the second expression in the virtual scene. In some embodiments, the first terminal simultaneously displays the first expression in the virtual scene.
The position of the interaction control is set by a person skilled in the art according to actual situations. For example, the interaction control is set at the lower right corner or the lower left corner of the virtual scene, which will not be limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.
Referring to
In some embodiments, the first terminal displays an avatar of the controlled virtual object next to the second expression.
In this implementation, the user may quickly know that the second expression is the expression sent by the control terminal (i.e., the first terminal) of the controlled virtual object by viewing the avatar next to the second expression, thereby achieving high efficiency of human-computer interaction.
In some embodiments, avatars of a plurality of virtual objects in the same team as the controlled virtual object are displayed in the virtual scene, and the first terminal displays a corresponding second expression below the avatars of the plurality of virtual objects.
In this implementation, the user may quickly know which user sends the second expression by viewing the avatars above the second expression, thereby improving the efficiency of human-computer interaction.
In some embodiments, the first terminal cancels the display of the second expression in response to not detecting the operation on the second expression within a target duration.
Step 404: The first terminal cancels the display of the first expression in response to that no operation on the first expression is detected within the target duration.
The target duration is set by a person skilled in the art according to actual situations, such as being set as 2 s, 3 s or 5 s, which will not be limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.
Through 404, in response to that no operation on the first expression is detected within the target duration, it means that the user does not want to reply to the first expression, and the first terminal may cancel the display of the first expression, without additionally occupying a display space of the virtual scene.
Step 405: The first terminal updates the second expression to a third expression corresponding to a second interaction event in response to that the second interaction event happens in the virtual scene, the second interaction event being an interaction event associated with a second virtual object, the second virtual object being a virtual object in the same team as the controlled virtual object.
The second interaction event is an interaction event which is the same as or different from the first interaction event. Accordingly, the second virtual object is a virtual object which is the same as or different from the first virtual object, which will not be limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. In the following description, an example will be given in which the second virtual object and the first virtual object are different virtual objects. Accordingly, The second terminal described below is not a terminal the same as the second terminal in the previous step, the second terminal in 401-404 being a control terminal of the first virtual object, the second terminal in step 405 being a control terminal of the second virtual object.
In some embodiments, in response to that the control terminal of the second virtual object issues the third expression in the virtual scene, the first terminal updates the second expression to the third expression in the virtual scene, wherein the control terminal of the second virtual object issuing the third expression in the virtual scene is also one second interaction event, and the expression corresponding to the second interaction event is also the third expression.
In this implementation, in response to that the control terminal of the second virtual object issues the third expression in the virtual scene, the first terminal may display the third expression, so as to realize the communication between different users in the same team, thereby improving the efficiency of human-computer interaction.
For example, the second terminal displays a virtual scene, and the virtual scene displayed by the second terminal includes a virtual object controlled by the second terminal, namely, a second virtual object. In the game process, in response to that a user using the second terminal, i.e., the second user, wants to communicate with other users in the same team by sending expressions, the second user may trigger the expression sending operation in the virtual scene displayed on the second terminal. In response to the expression transmission operation, the second terminal sends a third request to the server, the third request carrying the third expression corresponding to the expression transmission operation. The server acquires the third expression from the third request in response to receiving the third request, and the server sends a third instruction to the first terminal, wherein the third instruction carrying the third expression. In response to receiving the third instruction, the first terminal acquires the third expression from the third instruction. The first terminal displays the third expression in the virtual scene.
In some embodiments, in response to the second virtual object triggering a target event in the virtual scene, the first terminal displays the third expression corresponding to the target event in the virtual scene.
For example, in response to the second virtual object triggering the target event in the virtual scene, the server sends the third instruction to the first terminal, the third instruction carrying the third expression corresponding to the target event. The first terminal receives the third instruction, then acquires the third expression from the third instruction, and displays the third expression in the virtual scene.
In some embodiments, in response to that the second virtual object is defeated in the virtual scene and the control terminal of the second virtual object issues the first expression in the virtual scene, the first terminal displays the third expression in the virtual scene.
The second virtual object being defeated in the virtual scene means that the life value of the second virtual object is reduced to zero. In some embodiments, the second virtual object may be defeated by the second virtual object in the virtual scene, may be defeated by a defense tower, or may be defeated by a virtual creature, which will not be limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. In this implementation, the third expression is an expression of apology or frustration from a user controlling the second virtual object, i.e., the second user.
For example, the second terminal displays an expression sending control corresponding to the third expression in the virtual scene in response to that the second virtual object is defeated in the virtual scene. In response to a clicking operation on the expression sending control, the second terminal sends a third request to the server, the third request carrying the third expression. The server acquires the third expression from the third request in response to receiving the third request, and the server sends a third instruction to the first terminal, wherein the third instruction carrying the third expression. In response to receiving the third instruction, the first terminal acquires the third expression from the third instruction. The first terminal displays the third expression in the virtual scene.
