20220105427
This application is based on and claims the benefit of priority from the prior Japanese Patent Application No. 2020-167224, filed on Oct. 1, 2020, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
One embodiment of the present invention relates to a game control method and program for controlling objects in a screen.
In recent years, various game programs executed on a portable terminal such as a smart phone have been distributed. When games are executed in a portable terminal, operations by the user are input using a touch panel. A command (instruction) for an object (also referred to as a player character) to be operated in a screen is input through a touch operation on the screen. For the touch operation, for example, a short tap operation (hereinafter referred to as a “tap operation”), a long tap operation (hereinafter referred to as a “long-press operation”), a slide operation, or the like is used.
In operation games, operations such as moving objects, aiming objects, etc. must be controlled in limited spaces within the screen. Therefore, the long-press operation on the screen is used as one of important operations that can be distinguished from a simple tap operation. For example, Japanese laid-open patent publication No. 2019-37783 describes that when a long-press operation is performed on a screen of a touch display, a virtual character performs a consecutive shooting action.
A game control method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes making a first object to be operated perform a preparatory action for an attack action, triggered by an input from a long-press operation on a screen; and making the first object perform the attack action against a second object when the second object to be attacked satisfies a first condition while the first object is performing the preparatory action.
The first object may move in a direction indicated by a slide operation maintaining the preparatory action when an input from a slide operation against the screen is acquired while the first object is performing the preparatory action.
The first condition may be that the second object is located inside an attack area of the first object.
The first condition may be that the second object overlaps a sight region displayed on the screen.
The first object may perform the preparatory action without making the first object perform the attack action when the second object satisfies the first condition and the first object satisfies a second condition.
The action of the first object may be shifted from the attack action to the preparatory action when the first object satisfies the second condition while the first object is performing the attack action.
Information indicating that the second condition is satisfied may be displayed on the screen when the first object satisfies the second condition.
The second condition may be that there is a factor preventing the first object from attacking the second object.
The second condition may be that the first object and the second object are separated by more than a predetermined distance.
The preparatory action may be holding a weapon. The attack action may be an action of releasing an attack medium from the weapon.
A collision detection area of the second object against the attack medium may be larger than an occupied area of the second object.
A collision detection area of the second object against the attack medium may be approximately equal to an occupied area of the second object in a first communication state, and larger than the occupied area of the second object in a second communication state with a communication speed lower than the first communication state.
An identification image may be displayed on a position of a contact point where the long-press operation was initiated in response to an input by the long-press operation.
A computer-readable storage medium storing a program in an embodiment of the present invention may stores a program for causing a control part of a server or communication device to execute the game control method described above.
A server or a communication device includes a control part for executing the game control method described above.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to prevent a player character from performing unnecessary attack action while maintaining the attack posture of the player character.
In the technique described in the above-mentioned prior art, although a continuous shooting action can be realized by a simple operation of performing a long-press operation on a screen, while the long-press operation is continued, the shooting action is performed regardless of the presence or absence of an attack target (for example, an enemy character). Such an unnecessary shooting action may cause problems, for example, wastage of ammunition or deterioration of visibility of screens due to constantly fired bullets.
One of the objects of an embodiment of the present invention is to prevent an unnecessary attack action from being executed while maintaining an attack posture of a player character.
Hereinafter, an image control method (a method for controlling game progress), which is an embodiment of the present invention, will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different aspects. That is, the present invention is not construed as being limited to the description of the following embodiments. In the drawings referred to in this embodiment, the same portions or portions having the same functions are denoted by the same reference numerals or the same reference numerals followed by an alphabet, and repetitive description thereof is omitted.
In this specification and claims, the terms are defined as follows.
“Object” means an image representing an object to be manipulated or processed on a computer. For example, a player character image that is an operation target of a user in a game screen is an “object to be operated”.
“Touch operation” refers to an operation performed by the user by touching a touch panel or the like on the game screen with a finger, a stylus pen, or the like (hereinafter, referred to as an “instruction object”). “Tap operation” refers to a touch operation in which the period from the start of the contact of the instruction object to the release is short. “Long-press operation” refers to a touch operation in which the period from the start of the contact of the instruction object to the release is longer than the tap operation. “Slide operation” refers to an operation of moving the contact point while maintaining the contact state of the instruction object. The slide operation is also called a swipe operation.
“Program” refers to an instruction or set of instructions executed by a processor in a computer having a processor and a memory. “Computer” is a generic term that refers to an executing entity of a program. For example, when a program is executed by a server (or client), “computer” refers to the server (or client). When a “program” is executed by distributed processing between the server and the client, the “computer” includes both the server and the client. In this case, the “program” includes the “program executed on the server” and the “program executed on the client”. Similarly, when a “program” is distributed among multiple servers, the “computer” includes the multiple servers, and the “program” includes each program executed at each server.
The communication device 100 is, for example, a portable terminal such as a smart phone. The communication device 100 can communicate with the server 200 or other communication devices by connecting to the network NW. The communication device 100 may install a game program. By executing a game program installed in the communication device 100, a game in which an object such as a character in the game screen can be operated according to a user's operation is provided.
The game program is downloaded from the server 200 via the network NW to the communication device 100. However, the game program may be installed in the communication device 100 in advance. Further, the game program may be provided in a state of being recorded on a computer-readable recording medium such as a magnetic recording medium, an optical recording medium, a magneto-optical recording medium, a semiconductor memory, or the like. In this case, the communication device 100 may be an information processing device having a device for reading a recording medium.
The game program may be executed by the communication device 100, by the server 200, or by the communication device 100 and the server 200 in which the roles are shared and executed (so-called distributed processing is performed).
The server 200 is an information processing device that provides a game program or various services to the communication device 100. Various services include, for example, login processing, synchronization processing, and the like in executing an on-line game in the communication device 100.

The game program is recorded in a memory device included in the server 200, a recording medium readable by the server 200, or a database in which the server 200 can be connected via the network NW. In
The control part 11 includes a processor (calculation processing device) such as a CPU (Central Processing Part) and a memory device such as RAM. The control part 11 executes a program stored in the storage part 12 by a processor to realize various functions in the communication device 100. Signals output from each element of the communication device 100 are used by various functions implemented in the communication device 100.
The storage part 12 is a recording device (recording medium) capable of permanently holding information such as a non-volatile memory or a hard disk drive and rewriting information. The storage part 12 stores a program and parameters required to execute the program. For example, the game program described above is stored in the storage part 12. The storage part 12 may be a computer-readable recording medium (e.g., portable memory).
The display part 13 has a display area for displaying various screens (e.g., game screens) under the control of the control part 11. The display part 13 is, for example, a display device such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display.
The operating part 14 is an operating device for outputting a signal corresponding to the user's operation (e.g., a signal indicating a command or information) to the control part 11. The operating part 14 is a touch sensor arranged on the surface of the display part 13. The operating part 14 constitutes a touch panel by combining with the display part 13. Instructions or information corresponding to user's operations are input to the communication device 100 by touching the operating part 14 with the instruction object such as a finger of the user or a stylus pen. However, the operating part 14 may include a switch arranged on a housing of the communication device 100.
The sensor part 15 is a device having a function of collecting information about the movement of the communication device 100, an environment around the communication device 100 and converting the information into a signal. The sensor part 15 of the present embodiment is, for example, an acceleration sensor. The control part 11 acquires information about the movement of the communication device 100 (e.g., tilt, vibrates, etc.) based on an output signal of the sensor part 15. However, the sensor part 15 may include an illuminance sensor, a temperature sensor, a magnetic sensor, or the like.
The imaging part 16 is an imaging device (camera) for converting an image of an imaging target into a signal. The communication device 100 generates an image file (including a still image file and a moving image file) based on an imaging signal output from the imaging part 16. The imaging part 16 also functions as a scanner for reading an identification code such as a one-dimensional code or a two-dimensional code.
The position detecting part 17 detects a position of the communication device 100 based on location information. The position detecting part 17 detects the position of the communication device 100 using GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System).
The communication part 18 is connected to the network NW under the control of the control part 11 and is a wireless communication module for transmitting and receiving data to and from other communication devices such as the server 200 connected to the network NW. The communication part 18 may include communication modules for performing infra-red communication, short-range radio communication, and the like.
The sound input/output part 19 inputs and outputs sound. For example, a sound is input by a microphone of the sound input/output part 19. A sound is output by a speaker of the sound input/output part 19. The sound input/output part 19 can be used not only for communication with other communication devices but also for outputting sounds, sound effects, or the like that accompany collection of external sound or game progress.
The information part 20 informs the user of the state of the communication device 100 by a visual, auditory, or tactile method. Specifically, the information part 20 informs the user of the state of the communication device 100 using light, sound, or vibrate. For example, the information part 20 can notify the user of the presence or absence of communication with an external device by blinking a lamp or vibrating an entire housing. Vibration of the entire housing is performed by a vibrator of the information part 20. The information part 20 can also notify the user of the transition of the screen state or the like in accordance with the game progress. For example, the information part 20 can notify the user that the touch operation satisfies a predetermined condition using light, sound, or vibrate.
The control part 21 includes a calculation processing circuit (control device) such as CPU and a memory device such as RAM. The control part 21 executes a program stored in the storage part 22 by the CPU to realize various functions in the server 200.

A game screen GS (in other words, a game image) described below is displayed on the display part 13 of the communication device 100 by the control part 21 (specifically, a processor included in the control part 21) of the server 200 shown in
The game screen GS shown in
As shown in
In this embodiment, since the operating area OA is provided within a reach of a thumb of a hand holding a portable terminal, the operation by the thumb of one hand is easy. This is because when the portable terminal is operated with one hand, the thumb of the hand holding the portable terminal is basically touched. Although in
In this embodiment, the player character image PC is operated by inputting to the operating area OA by a touch operation. Specifically, the player character image PC is made to perform different operations according to the combination of the touch operation performed on the operating area OA. The following describes an example of making the player character image PC perform a shooting action as an attack action will be described. However, the attack action is not limited to this embodiment, and may include any operation as long as it is an operation that damages or changes the state of the enemy character. For example, the attack action may include an attack by a sword or spear, an attack by magic, the attack by an emission of energy waves, etc.
The presence or absence of the input by the long-press operation can be judged, for example, by whether a predetermined time has elapsed while maintaining the contact of the finger after the finger of the user contacts the contact point CP. That is, when a predetermined time has elapsed from the contact of the finger with the contact point CP, it is judged that the input is performed by the long-press operation. On the contrary, when the finger has left the screen before a predetermined time has elapsed, it is judged that the input is not the input by the long-press operation but a normal tap operation. In this embodiment, an example in which the contact of the finger with the screen is regarded as the touch operation is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this example. For example, it is also possible to judge that the touch operation has been made when the distance between the screen and the finger is a predetermined distance or less. In this case, it may be judged that the finger left the screen when the distance between the screen and the finger exceeds the predetermined distance.
As shown in
On the other hand, as shown in
Specifically, when the input is made by the long-press operation, the player character image PC in the game screen GS holds a gun. When the enemy character image EC is displayed on the game screen GS in a state in which the player character image PC holds the gun, the player character image PC attacks the enemy character image EC. In this case, the player character image PC automatically aims at the enemy character image EC and performs attacks to the enemy character image EC. Thus, the control part 21 of the server 200 makes the player character image PC execute the preparatory action of the attack action upon acquiring the input by the long-press operation. When the enemy character image EC is located in the game screen GS while the player character image PC is executing the preparatory action, the control part 21 makes the player character image PC execute the attack action on the enemy character image EC.
As described above, in this embodiment, when the enemy character image EC satisfies a predetermined condition (here, the enemy character image EC is located in the game screen GS) when the long-press operation is performed in the operating area OA, the player character image PC attacks the enemy character image EC (
Further, in this embodiment, the player character image PC can move within the game screen GS while maintaining the preparatory action. That is, the player character image PC can move back and forth and left and right in the virtual space while holding the gun. In this embodiment, the player character image PC can be moved by a slide operation on the game screen GS.
In the state shown in
As described above, when the player character image PC is moving in the attack mode (that is, the state in which the preparatory action is executed by the user's long-press operation), if the enemy character image EC does not exist in the game screen GS, the player character image PC does not execute the attack action. On the other hand, when the enemy character image EC appears in the game screen GS while the player character image PC is moving in the attack mode, the player character image PC automatically executes the attack action on the enemy character image EC.
When the game program is executed, the control part 21 judges whether the long-press operation has been performed on the operating area OA of the game screen GS displayed on the display part 13 of the communication device 100 (step S101). Specifically, when the control part 21 receives a signal indicating the input by the long-press operation from the communication device 100 (hereinafter, referred to as a “long-press operation signal”), if the coordinate information of the contact point CP included in the long-press operation signal is inside the operating area OA, the control part 21 judges that it has acquired the input by the long-press operation performed inside the operating area OA.
When the judgment result of Step S101 is NO, the processing by the control part 21 returns to Step S101. When the judgment result of Step S101 is YES, the control part 21 judges whether the enemy character image EC is located in the game screen GS (Step S102).
If the judgment result of Step S102 is YES, the control part 21 transmits instruction data for making the player character image PC execute the attack action to the communication device 100 in Step S103. The control part 11 of the communication device 100 generates display data of the player character image PC based on the received instruction data. Thereafter, as shown in
When the judgment result of Step S102 is NO, the control part 21 transmits the instruction data for making the player character image PC execute the preparatory action of the attack action to the communication device 100 (Step S104). The control part 11 of the communication device 100 generates the display data of the player character image PC based on the received instruction data. Thereafter, as shown in
After transmitting transmission data for the attack action or the preparatory action in Step S103 or Step S104, the control part 21 judges whether the slide operation is performed on the game screen GS (Step S105). Specifically, when the control part 21 receives a signal (hereinafter, referred to as a “slide operation signal”) indicating an input by the slide operation (specifically, the movement of the contact point CP) from the communication device 100, the control part 21 judges that the input by the slide operation has been acquired.
When the judgment result of Step S105 is YES, the control part 21 transmits instruction data for making the player character image PC execute the moving action to the communication device 100 (Step S106). Based on the received instruction data, as shown in
Next, the control part 21 judges whether the long-press operation has been released (Step S107). Specifically, when the control part 21 receives a signal indicating that the long-press operation has been released (hereinafter referred to as a “long-press release signal”) from the communication device 100, the control part 21 judges that the input by releasing the long-press operation has been acquired.
When the judgment result of Step S107 is YES, the control part 21 transmits instruction data for returning the player character image PC to the normal posture to the communication device 100 (Step S108). The control part 11 of the communication device 100 cancels the shooting posture of the player character image PC based on the received instruction data, for example, as shown in
As described above, in this embodiment, when the enemy character image EC is located in the game screen GS, the player character image PC executes the attack action on the enemy character image EC in response to the long-press operation of the user. However, when the enemy character image EC is not located in the game screen GS, the player character image PC only executes the preparatory action (i.e., shifts to the attack mode) in response to the user's long-press operation and does not execute the attack action.
When the enemy character image EC appears in the game screen GS while the player character image PC is executing the preparatory action, the player character image PC automatically executes the attack action on the enemy character image EC. On the contrary, when the enemy character image EC disappears from the game screen GS while the player character image PC is executing the attack action, the player character image PC automatically cancels the attack action.
As described above, in this embodiment, even if the player character image PC is in the attack posture by the user's long-press operation, when the enemy character image EC does not satisfy the predetermined condition (in this embodiment, the enemy character image EC is located in the game screen GS), the attack action by the player character image PC is not executed. In other words, the player character image PC executes the attack action on the enemy character image EC only when the enemy character image EC satisfies a predetermined condition. That is, according to this embodiment, it is possible to prevent the player character from executing the unnecessary attack action while maintaining the attack posture of the player character.
In this embodiment, an example of judging whether the attack action is possible depending on whether the enemy character image EC is located in the game screen GS has been shown, but the present invention is not limited to this example. The game screen GS (i.e., the entire imaging range of the virtual camera) is an example of an attack area of the player character image PC, and the shape or size of the attack area can be set arbitrarily. In this embodiment, the “attack area” is an area that indicates the range in which the player character image PC executes the attack action. That is, in this embodiment, when the enemy character image EC is located inside the attack area, the player character image PC executes the attack action. For example, a circular area having a predetermined radius or a part of the circular area can be set in the game screen GS as the attack area.
In this embodiment, the control part 21 of the server 200 executes the game programs to display the game screen GS on the display part 13 of the communication device 100. Therefore, if the communication state between the communication device 100 and the server 200 is unstable, it may be difficult to progress the game in real time.
For example, when the enemy character image EC appears on the game screen GS while executing the preparatory action, the player character image PC automatically executes the attack action. At this time, if the communication state is unstable, there may be a time lag in communication, and the attack of the player character image PC may not catch up with the movement of the enemy character image EC.
In such cases, the enemy character image EC or a collision detection area of the attack medium may be set to be larger than usual. The “collision detection area” is an area corresponding to a range for detecting that the objects are overlapped with each other on the screen. Typically, the collision detection area is substantially equal to an occupied area of the object (an area inside the outer shape of the object). That is, collision detection areas of substantially equal size to the occupied area of the enemy character image EC and the attack medium are set in the enemy character image EC and the attack medium, respectively, and when they overlap with each other, a collision (hit) is detected. That is, by setting the collision detection area of the enemy character image EC or the attack medium to be larger than usual, even if the attack medium does not hit the enemy character image EC, the game can be regarded as hit and the game can proceed.
In this manner, by setting the collision detection area of the enemy character image EC or the attack medium to be larger than usual, even if the communication state becomes unstable and a time lag occurs in the communication, it is possible to suppress the problem that the attack of the player character image PC cannot catch up with the movement of the enemy character image EC. For example, the collision detection area of the enemy character image EC for the attack medium may be larger than the occupied area of the enemy character image EC.
The setting of the above-mentioned collision detection area may be changed according to the communication state. For example, in a normal communication state (a first communication state), the collision detection area of the enemy character image EC or the attack medium is set to be substantially equal to the occupied area of the enemy character image EC or the attack medium. On the other hand, in a communication state (a second communication state) in which the communication speed is lower than the normal communication speed, the collision detection area of the enemy character image EC or the attack medium may be set to be larger than the occupied area of the enemy character image EC or the attack medium.
As described above, by setting the appropriate collision detection area according to the communication state, games can be enjoyed without feeling stress even in an environment where the communication state is unstable.
In this embodiment, an example in which the player character image PC automatically cancels the attack action when the enemy character image EC disappears from the game screen GS while the player character image PC is executing the attack action has been shown, but the present invention is not limited to this example. For example, the player character image PC may be controlled to automatically track the enemy character image EC. Specifically, when the enemy character image EC moves to the transverse direction, the direction of the player character image PC may be changed according to the moving direction of the enemy character image EC.
According to this modification, since the imaging direction of the virtual camera is changed according to the movement of the enemy character image EC, the enemy character image EC can be continuously kept within the imaging range of the virtual camera (that is, within the game screen GS). Therefore, the player character image PC can continue the attack action while tracking the enemy character image EC. The imaging range of the virtual camera may be changed so that the enemy character image EC is always located substantially center of the game screen GS. The imaging range of the virtual camera may be changed so that when the enemy character image EC goes out of the game screen GS, the enemy character image EC is put in the game screen GS again.
In the present embodiment, an example of judging whether the attack action is possible under a condition different from that of the first embodiment will be described. Specifically, an example in which the attack action is executed when the enemy character image EC is located within a predetermined distance from the player character image PC is shown. In the drawings used for the description of the present embodiment, the same elements as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.
As shown in
If the player character image PC does not execute the attack action even though the enemy character image EC exists in the game screen GS, the user may not be able to understand what the cause is. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, by displaying the information 25, the user can be made to recognize that there is a factor that cannot attack the enemy character image EC (e.g., the reason that cannot attack the enemy character image EC).
As described above, in this embodiment, even if the enemy character image EC is located in the game screen GS, when the player character image PC is far from the enemy character image EC, the attack action is not executed. Specifically, in this embodiment, when the player character image PC is separated from the enemy character image EC by more than 20 m, the player character image PC does not attack the enemy character image EC. That is, even when a condition (a first condition) that the enemy character image EC is located in the game screen GS is satisfied, and when a condition (a second condition) that the player character image PC is separated from the enemy character image EC by more than 20 m is satisfied, the player character image PC is made to execute the preparatory action without executing the attack action.
On the other hand, when the player character image PC is located within 20 m of the enemy character image EC, the player character image PC performs the attack action on the enemy character image EC. As described above, in
On the contrary, when the distance between the player character image PC and the enemy character image EC exceeds 20 m due to the movement of the enemy character image EC (when the second condition is satisfied), the operation of the player character image PC shifts from the attack action to the preparatory action. In this case, the information 25 indicating that the position of the player character image PC is too far from the enemy character image EC is displayed on the game screen GS.
As described above, in this embodiment, even when the enemy character image EC is located inside the attack area of the player character image PC (when the first condition is satisfied), if there is a factor that the player character image PC cannot attack the enemy character image EC (when the second condition is satisfied), the attack action is not executed by the player character image PC even if the user performs the long-press operation. In this case, the player character image PC performs the preparatory action of the attack action in response to the user's long-press operation. Further, in this embodiment, the information 25 indicating that there is a factor that the player character image PC cannot attack the enemy character image EC is displayed.
In this embodiment, as a factor that the player character image PC cannot attack the enemy character image EC, it is exemplified that the player character image PC and the enemy character image EC are separated from each other by a distance exceeding a predetermined distance in the virtual space. However, the above factor is not limited to this example. For example, as the above-mentioned factor, there may be a case in which the amount of the attack medium filled in the weapon becomes a predetermined amount or less, a case in which an object (for example, a buddy, an obstacle, or the like) that cannot be attacked exists between the player character image PC and the enemy character image EC, a case in which the enemy character image EC possesses an item that does not accept the attack or activates a skill, or a case in which the communication state between the communication device 100 and the server 200 is unstable.
In this embodiment, an example in which a message is displayed as the information 25 indicating that there is a factor that the player character image PC cannot attack the enemy character image EC has been shown. However, the information 25 is not limited to this example, and the presence of the above-mentioned factor may be notified to the user using a symbol, a figure, an image, a color, or the like. Furthermore, the presence of the above-described factor may be notified to the user by vibrating the housing using the function (specifically, the vibrator function) of the information part 20 of the communication device 100 or outputting sound using the function (specifically, the speaker function) of the sound input/output part 19.
In this embodiment, an example in which the position at which the input by the long-press operation is started can be identified will be described. In the drawings used for the description of the present embodiment, the same elements as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.
As described above, according to this embodiment, it is easy to return the user's finger to the position before the slide operation after the slide operation. As a result, in a game in which a player character is operated using a touch operation including a slide operation, operability can be improved.
In this embodiment, an example of judging whether the attack action is possible under a condition different from that of the first embodiment will be described. Specifically, this example shows an example in which the attack action is executed when the enemy character image EC is overlapped with a sight region displayed on the game screen GS. In the drawings used for the description of this embodiment, the same elements as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.
In the state shown in
According to this embodiment, when the player character shifts to the preparatory action of the attack action by the long-press operation, the game screen GS shifts to the scope screen, so that the user can intuitively recognize the transition to the preparatory action. By changing the game screen GS to the scope screen, the sense of realism of the game can be improved, and the sense of immersion of the user in the game world can be enhanced.
In the first to fourth embodiments, in the game processing, an example in which the server 200 performs the processing of the operation executed by the object to be operated has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this example, the processing of executing the operation of the object may be performed by the control part 11 of the communication device 100. In this case, the control part 11 of the communication device 100 carries out the acquisition of the operation input by the user and the execution of the operation executed by the object to be operated, and the server 200 may carry out a synchronization processing with other users.
As another example, the processing of executing the operation performed by the object may be performed as a distributed processing between the communication device 100 and the server 200.
