First, some nouns or terms appearing in the process of describing the embodiments of the present disclosure are explained:
The virtual scene is a virtual scene displayed (or provided) by an application program when it is running on a terminal or server. Optionally, the virtual scene is a simulation environment of the real world, or a half-simulation and half-fictional virtual environment, or a purely fictional virtual environment. The virtual scene is any one of a two-dimensional virtual scene and a three-dimensional virtual scene, and the virtual environment may be sky, land, ocean, etc. The land includes environmental elements such as deserts and cities. The virtual scene is a scene in which the user controls the virtual object(s) to complete the game logic. For example, in a sandbox 3D shooting game, the virtual scene is a 3D game world for players to control the virtual objects to fight against. An exemplary virtual scene may include at least one element of mountains, plains, rivers, lakes, oceans, deserts, sky, plants, buildings, and vehicles. For example, for 2D card games, the virtual scene is a scene for displaying releasing of cards or displaying the virtual object corresponding to the card. The exemplary virtual scene may include: the arena, the battle field, or other “field” elements that can display the state of the card battle or other elements. For 2D or 3D multiplayer online tactical competitive games, the virtual scene is a 2D or 3D terrain scene for the virtual objects to fight against. The exemplary virtual scene may include: canyon-style mountains, lines, rivers, classrooms, tables and chairs, podiums and other elements.
The virtual object refers to a dynamic object that can be controlled in the virtual scene. Optionally, the dynamic object may be a virtual character, a virtual animal, an anime character, or the like. The virtual object is a character controlled by the player through an input device, or an artificial intelligence (AI) set in a virtual environment battle through training, or a non-player character (NPC) set in a virtual scene battle. Optionally, the virtual object is a virtual character competing in a virtual scene. Optionally, the number of virtual objects in the virtual scene battle is preset, or dynamically determined according to the number of clients joining the battle, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. In a possible implementation manner, the user can control the virtual object to move in the virtual scene, for example, control the virtual object to run, jump, crawl, etc., and can also control the virtual object to use the skills, virtual props and the like provided by the application to fight with other virtual objects.
The virtual substance refers to a static object in the virtual scene, such as terrain, houses, bridges, vegetation, etc. in the game scene. Usually, the static objects are not directly controlled by the player, but can respond to the interactive behavior of the virtual objects in the scene (such as attacking, demolishing, etc.), and make corresponding performances, for example: the virtual objects may demolish, pick up, drag, build the buildings. Optionally, the virtual object may also be unable to respond to the interactive behavior of the virtual object. For example, the virtual object may also be a building, door, window, plant, etc. in the game scene, but the virtual object cannot interact with it. For example, the virtual object cannot damage or remove the window.
The virtual resource is a virtual prop (such as firearms, a protective clothing, a material, a building material, etc.), a virtual asset (such as a gold coin, a point), or a virtual object (such as a wild monster, a building, etc.) or the like that can help the virtual object to better complete the purpose of the game and is obtained in the complete feature game task of inside the game or outside the game. In an optional implementation manner, for example, in shooting games, the virtual resource may be firearms, ammunition, a protective clothing, firearm accessories, healing supplies, detachable houses, etc. In MOBA games, the virtual resource may refer to a wild monster virtual object with different attributes, etc.
The virtual prop refers to a prop that the virtual object can use in the virtual environment, including but not limited to the virtual items that can be used by the virtual object so as to speed up its own attributes, assist fight or cause damage to other virtual objects, such as bullets firearms, cold weapons, grenades, shields, springboards, puppets, etc. The virtual prop may also be a supply prop such as a bullet, and may also be an accessory such as an expanded cartridge clip, a sight magnifier, a flame suppressor, and a gun butt that is assembled on a designated virtual weapon.

It can be seen that implementing the information sending method shown in
An application scenario of this embodiment is provided below. A schematic diagram of a graphical user interface is shown in
Among them, 1000 is a backpack control. Through the touch operation acting on this control, display of a backpack interface in the graphical user interface is triggered to view the items and props in the backpack. The items and props may include but not limited to: medicines, weapons, accessories, armors, and other props. In an optional implementation manner, an edge line is provided on the edge of the backpack control to indicate the amount of items in the backpack. The touch operation acting on the backpack control may be operations such as click, double click, long press, and slide.
1002 is a movement control, and a circle filled with shadows is a joystick in the movement control. In an optional implementation manner, the movement control is configured with a movement response area, where the movement response area may be the same size as the movement control, that is, the area in the graphical user interface corresponding to the movement control is the movement response area. In an optional implementation manner, the size of the movement response area may be larger than the size of the movement control, that is, the movement control is set in the movement response area. In particular, the graphical user interface is divided into left and right areas from the middle, where the left area is the movement response area of the movement control. The movement control instruction is triggered by the touch operation acting on the movement response area of the movement control, and the moving direction of the virtual object is controlled according to the movement control instruction. The touch operations acting on the movement response area of the movement control may be operations such as click, double click, long press, and slide.
When it is detected that the touch operation that triggers the movement control instruction satisfies a preset condition, a “Sprint” instruction is triggered to control the virtual object to automatically and continuously run in the game scene. As shown in
1004 and 1014 are both attack controls, and an attack instruction is triggered by a touch operation acting on an attack response area of the attack control, and the virtual character is controlled to perform an attack operation in the game scene according to the attack instruction. The attack behavior triggered by the attack control corresponds to the current assembly state of the virtual object. For example, when the virtual object is equipped with a long-range weapon, the attack behavior triggered by the attack control is a shooting behavior, that is, the left hand can perform the shooting operation by triggering the control 1004, and the right hand can perform the shooting operation by triggering the control 1014; when the virtual character is equipped with a melee weapon, the attack behavior triggered by the attack control is a slashing behavior, etc. In an optional implementation manner, only one of the attack control 1004 and the attack control 1014 is displayed. The display position of the attack control may be adjusted according to a position setting instruction, where the position setting instruction may be triggered when setting the interface, or may be triggered during the game. The touch operation acting on the attack control may be operations such as click, double-click, long-press, and slide.
1008 and 1010 are posture controls, and a posture adjustment instruction is triggered through a touch operation acting on the posture controls, so as to adjust the posture of the virtual object in the game scene. Among them, triggering the control 1008 can control the weapon to be located on the left arm of the virtual object, and control the virtual object to stand with the posture of turning the head to the left; triggering the control 1010 can control the weapon to be located on the right arm of the virtual object, and control the virtual object to stand with the posture of turning the head to the right. 1008 and 1010 are mostly used for posture control of the virtual object when the virtual object is avoiding obstacles such as walls and trees. The touch operation acting on the posture controls may be operations such as click, double click, long press, and slide.
1012 is a weapon slot, and triggering the weapon slot can switch the weapon used by the player. The “Continuous fire” on the left is used to indicate the current shooting mode. In the “Continuous fire” mode, multiple bullets are fired continuously. In addition to the “Continuous fire” mode, it can also be switched to the “Single shot” mode, and in the “Single shot” mode, a single bullet is fired. The lower shaded bar is used to show the amount of bullets in the weapon. When shooting, the amount of bullets keeps decreasing. When the amount of bullets becomes zero, the bullets can be changed automatically, and then the amount of bullets is at the maximum. In addition, the control 1016 is a reloading control, triggering the reloading control can add bullets to the currently used weapon, and after reloading, the amount of bullets is the maximum. The touch operation acting on the weapon slot may be operations such as click, double click, long press, and slide.
Controls 1018 and 1020 are motion controls, and the virtual objects are controlled to perform corresponding actions in the game scene through touch operations acting on the motion controls. For example, triggering 1018 can control the virtual object to squat, and triggering 1020 can control the virtual object to prostrate on the ground. The control 1022 can control the virtual object to perform a jumping action. The touch operation acting on the action control may be operations such as click, double-click, long-press, and slide.
Control 1024 is used to control the current game scene to enter the scope mode. When the first touch operation acting on the control 1024 is detected, it is controlled to enter the scope mode. In the scope mode, the aiming lens is displayed in the game scene, and the game scene seen by the virtual object through the aiming lens is also displayed. In the scope mode, the accuracy of shooting can be improved. When the second touch operation acting on the control 1024 is detected, it is controlled to exit the scope mode. In an optional implementation manner, the first touch operation and the second touch operation are independent touch operations. For example, by clicking the control 1024, the current game scene is controlled to enter the scope mode, and by clicking the control 1024 again, the scope mode is exited, and a game scene captured by a virtual camera following a virtual object is displayed again. In an optional implementation manner, the first touch operation and the second touch operation may be a start operation and end operation of one touch operation, for example, when touching the control 1024 is detected, the game scene is controlled to enter the scope mode, during the continuous pressing process, the game scene is controlled to be in the scope mode continuously, and when it is detected that a touch medium that triggers the touch operation leaves the touch detection area, it is controlled to exit the scope mode.
Control 1026 is used to control the shooting parameters of the virtual camera presenting the game screen, thereby adjusting the visual field screen of the game scene displayed in the graphical user interface. In an optional implementation manner, it is determined that a touch operation acting on the control 1026 is detected, and the shooting parameters of the virtual camera are adjusted according to the touch operation, where the shooting parameters include but not limited to a position, an orientation, a viewing angle, etc. of the virtual camera. The touch operation acting on the control 1026 may be operations such as click, double-click, long-press, and slide.
The control 1028 is a marking control, and the virtual objects, virtual substances, etc. in the game scene are marked through touch operations acting on the marking control. Control 1032 is a setting control, by clicking on the control 1032, a setting menu is displayed, so as to set the basic functions of the current game. The touch operations acting on the control 1028 may be operations such as click, double-click, long-press, and slide.
Controls 1034 and 1036 are message controls, where 1034 can be used to view system notifications, and 1036 can be used to view messages sent by teammates, or send messages to teammates. 1038 is a small map, which is used to display the position of the virtual object controlled by the player, and may also display the positions of virtual objects of some other players.
