Technical solutions in embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. It will be apparent that the described embodiments are merely part of, but not all of, the embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work, based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
An embodiment of the present disclosure provides methods and apparatuses for controlling put of a virtual resource, computer devices, and storage media. Specifically, a method for controlling the put of the virtual resource according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may be executed by a computer device, which may be a terminal, a server, or the like. The terminal may be a terminal apparatus such as a smartphone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a touch screen, a game machine, a personal computer (PC), a personal digital assistant (PDA), or the like. The terminal may further include a client, which may be a game application client, a browser client carrying a game program, an instant messaging client, or the like. The server may be a separate physical server, may be a server cluster or a distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or may be a cloud server for providing basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content distribution network services, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms.
For example, when the method for controlling the put of virtual resources is operated in the terminal, the terminal apparatus stores a game application program and is configured to present a virtual scene in a graphical user interface. For example, the virtual scene is displayed in the graphical user interface by downloading and installing the game application program through the terminal apparatus and executing it. The manner in which the terminal apparatus provides the virtual scene to the user may include a variety of ways. For example, the virtual scene may be rendered for display on a display screen of the terminal apparatus, or rendered by holographic projection. For example, the terminal apparatus may include a touch display screen configured to present the virtual scene and receive an operation instruction generated by the user operating on the graphical user interface, and a processor configured to run a game, generate a game screen, respond to the operation instruction, and control the graphical user interface and the virtual scene to be displayed on the touch display screen.
For example, when the method for controlling the put of the virtual resource runs on the server, it may be a cloud game. The cloud games is based on cloud computing. In an operation mode of the cloud game, an operation subject of the game application program and the game screen presentation subject are separated. Storage and operation of the method for controlling the put of the virtual resource are performed on the cloud game server. A game screen presentation is at a cloud game client. The cloud game client is mainly configured to receive, send and present game data. For example, a cloud game client may be a display apparatus having a data transmission function near a user side, such as a mobile terminal, a television, a computer, a palmtop computer, a personal digital assistant, or the like. A terminal apparatus for processing the game data is a cloud game server on a cloud side. When the game is played, the user operates the cloud game client, so as to send an operation instruction to the cloud game server. The cloud game server runs the game, encodes and compresses the data such as the game screen, returns the data to the cloud game client through the network, and finally decodes and outputs the game screen through the cloud game client, according to the operation instruction.
The game server is configured to transmit a graphical user interface to the terminal.
These are explained in detail below, respectively. It should be noted that the description order of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments.
The present embodiment will be described in terms of an apparatus for controlling the put of the virtual resource, which may be specifically integrated in a terminal apparatus. The terminal apparatus may include apparatuses such as a smartphone, a notebook computer, a tablet computer, a personal computer, or the like.
An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling the put of the virtual resource. The method may be executed by a terminal processor, as shown in
Step 201: displaying a first virtual scene and a virtual object located in the first virtual scene by a graphical user interface, wherein the virtual object is configured to perform a game behavior in response to a touch operation on the graphical user interface.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the graphical user interface displaying the first virtual scene is a game screen displayed on a display screen of the terminal after the terminal executes a game application program. The first virtual scene of the graphical user interface displaying the first virtual scene may have a game prop, and/or a plurality of virtual objects or the like (buildings, trees, mountains, or the like) constituting or included in a game world environment. A placement of a virtual object such as a building, a mountain, a wall, or the like in the first virtual scene constitutes a spatial layout of the first virtual scene. Further, a game corresponding to the game application program may be a first-person shooter, a multiplayer online role-playing game, or the like. For example, as shown in
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the virtual object may be a game character operated by a player through the game application program. For example, the virtual object may be a virtual character (such as a simulated character or an animated character), a virtual animal, or the like. The game behavior of the virtual object in the first virtual scene includes, but is not limited to, at least one of adjusting body posture, crawling, walking, running, riding, flying, jumping, driving, picking, shooting, attacking, putting, releasing a skill.
Step 202: displaying a second virtual scene and a resource indicator located in the second virtual scene by the graphical user interface in response to an enable trigger operation for the target virtual resource, wherein the resource indicator is configured to visually indicate a put position for the target virtual resource.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to facilitate the player to control a virtual object to carry out a remote attack against an enemy at a distance, a virtual resource may be set in a game. The virtual resource may include props and skills. The virtual resource may be a resource to be put, such as a cluster bomb, a cluster missile, a smoke bomb, or the like. The player may control the virtual object to put the cluster bomb at a certain place within a field of view, so that a plurality of successive explosions occur within a range selected by the player, and a large number of players may be quickly defeated. The virtual resource may be directly put by the virtual object or may be put by the virtual carrier.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the enable trigger operation of the target virtual resource is an operation required when the virtual object uses the target virtual resource in the virtual scene. The enable trigger operations for different virtual resources may be the same or different. The enable trigger operation may be an operation such as a click, a long press, a double, and/or a click, etc.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the graphical user interface displaying the first virtual scene may include a resource triggering control element. When the player performs a touch operation on the resource triggering control element, the enable trigger operation of the target virtual resource may be triggered. In addition, different virtual resources may correspond to the same resource trigger control element, or may correspond to different resource trigger control elements.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the player performs the enable trigger operation, a second virtual scene is displayed. The second virtual scene has a scene layout corresponding to the first virtual scene, and may be all virtual entities in the first virtual scene that are imitated by the virtual simulation entity, such as a building, a wall, a mountain, or the like. The layout of each virtual simulation entity in the second virtual scene is the same as the layout of a corresponding virtual entity in the first virtual scene. In addition, a shape of the virtual simulation entity in the second virtual scene is the same as a shape of a corresponding virtual entity in the first virtual scene. However, the surface of the virtual entity in the first virtual scene has the same color, texture, or the like as a corresponding object in the real life. The virtual simulation entity in the second virtual scene does not have the color, texture, or the like of the simulated virtual entity. The second virtual scene is formed according to the virtual simulation entity. A relative position relationship of respective virtual simulation entities in the second virtual scene is the same as a relative position relationship of respective virtual entities in the first virtual scene. A size of each virtual simulation entity in the second virtual scene may be the same as that of a corresponding virtual entity in the first virtual scene, or may be scaled down or up in proportion to a corresponding virtual entity in the first virtual scene.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the second virtual scene includes a second scene element. The second scene element is configured to characterize a first scene element in at least a portion of the first virtual scene. A position of the second scene element in the second virtual scene is configured to characterize a position of the first scene element in the first virtual scene. That is, the second scene element corresponds one-to-one to the first scene element, the position of each second scene element in the second virtual scene is the same as the position of a corresponding first scene element in the first virtual scene, and each second scene element has the same attribute (such as shape, size, or the like) as a corresponding first scene element. The first scene element and the second scene element may be a virtual building, a virtual wall, a virtual river, or the like in a virtual scene.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a display range of the second virtual scene in the graphical user interface is bound to the resource indicator. When the resource indicator moves in the second virtual scene, the display range of the second virtual scene in the graphical user interface varies as the resource indicator moves. Therefore, the method further includes determining the display range of the second virtual scene in the graphical user interface according to a position of the resource indicator in the second virtual scene.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, since the display range of the second virtual scene in the graphical user interface varies as the resource indicator moves in the second virtual scene, it is necessary to determine an initial display range in the second virtual scene before the above-mentioned step “displaying the second virtual scene and the resource indicator located in the second virtual scene by the graphical user interface”. Specifically, the initial display range of the second virtual scene in the graphical user interface is determined according to a position of the virtual object in the first virtual scene on occurrence of the enable trigger operation.
In an implement of the present disclosure, “displaying the second virtual scene by the graphical user interface” in the above step may include hiding the first virtual scene in the graphical user interface, to trigger display of the second virtual scene in the graphical user interface.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the second virtual scene may not be a new virtual scene independent of the first virtual scene, but is formed by simplifying the first virtual scene. Specifically, the second virtual scene may include the first virtual scene with a preset virtual object hidden. The preset virtual object includes one or more of a player virtual character, a non-player virtual character, and/or a virtual prop object. The player virtual character may be a virtual object currently operated by the current player and/or the player virtual character operated by other players involved in the game. The non-player virtual character may be a non-player virtual character operated by the terminal and not operated by the players involved in the game. The virtual prop object may be a virtual object in the game that has an auxiliary effect on the player virtual character, for example, an attacking weapon, a riding ride, or the like.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first virtual scene and the second virtual scene may be simultaneously displayed in a graphical user interface. In this case, the step of “displaying the second virtual scene by the graphical user interface” may include: determining, in the graphical user interface displaying the first virtual scene, a second display area of an area range smaller than that of the graphical user interface; and displaying the second virtual scene by the second display area. In addition, a position, a size, or the like of the second display area in the graphical user interface are not limited, and can be flexibly set according to actual conditions.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the resource indicator is configured to indicate a reference put position for the target virtual resource in the second virtual scene. The resource indicator may be the same in shape and size as the target virtual resource, or may be different in shape and size from the target virtual resource.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the graphical user interface displaying the first virtual scene includes a virtual object located in the first virtual scene. The graphical user interface displaying the second virtual scene may not include a virtual object located in the second virtual scene. Therefore, a position of an enemy virtual object may be seen in the second virtual scene when the target put position (or target dispensing position) of the target virtual resource is set through the resource indicator, thereby ensuring fairness of a game.
For example, as shown in
Step 203: controlling the resource indicator to move in the second virtual scene, in response to a movement operation for the resource indicator.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the player may move the resource indicator by operating a move control. The graphical user interface displaying the second virtual scene includes a move control configured to control the resource indicator to move in the second virtual scene. The move control includes a horizontal movement control element and a vertical movement control element. In this case, in the above Step 203 of “controlling the resource indicator to move in the second virtual scene in response to the movement operation for the resource indicator” may include:
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, an object movement control element for controlling the virtual object to move in the first virtual scene may be included in the graphical user interface displaying the first virtual scene. After the graphical user interface displaying the second virtual scene is displayed in response to the enable trigger operation for the target virtual resource, the object movement control element in the graphical user interface displaying the first virtual scene may be changed into a movement control element for moving the resource indicator, so that only the resource indicator may move but the virtual object may not move after the second virtual scene is generated.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the player may further move the resource indicator by directly dragging a resource indicator on the terminal screen with a finger or a mouse indication cursor. In this case, the movement operation includes a drag operation. The above-mentioned Step 203 of “controlling the resource indicator to move in the second virtual scene, in response to the movement operation for the resource indicator” may include:
controlling the resource indicator to move in the second virtual scene in response to the drag operation for the resource indicator in the second virtual scene.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to better determine a final reference put position of the resource indicator in the second virtual scene according to a spatial layout of the second virtual scene, a change in the second virtual scene may be displayed as the resource indicator moves. In this case, after the Step 203 of “controlling the resource indicator to move in the second virtual scene, in response to the movement operation for the resource indicator”, the method may further include: displaying a transition clip including a second virtual scene that transforms as the resource indicator moves.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the player triggers the movement operation for the resource indicator, the resource indicator moves in the second virtual scene. Before the player performs the movement operation for the resource indicator, it is necessary to determine the position of the resource indicator in the initial display range of the second virtual scene. Specifically, an initial position of the resource indicator in the second virtual scene is determined according to the position and/or orientation of the virtual object in the first virtual scene on occurrence of the enable trigger operation.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal may load the first virtual scene and the second virtual scene at the same time during a process of running the game. The first virtual scene is displayed on the graphical user interface before the player carries on the enable trigger operation. The terminal may hide the first virtual scene in the graphical user interface and display the second virtual scene in the graphical user interface, when the player carries on the enable trigger operation for the target virtual resource. When determining the initial position of the resource indicator in the initial display range of the second virtual scene, the terminal may first obtain a spatial coordinate (x, y, z) of the virtual object in the first virtual scene. After the second virtual scene is displayed in the graphical user interface, the terminal may determine a spatial coordinate of the reference put point of the resource indicator in the second virtual scene, which may be obtained by combining the spatial coordinates (x, y, z) of the virtual object in the first virtual scene, and the offsets (xd, yd, zd) of the first virtual scene and the second virtual scene, that is, the initial position of the resource indicator (x1, y1, z1)=(x, y, z)+(xd, yd, zd). Then, the player operates the resource indicator in the second virtual scene. The offsets of the first virtual scene and the second virtual scene may be set as 0, or may be flexibly set according to actual conditions.
Step 204: determining a reference put position of the resource indicator in the second virtual scene, in response to a position confirmation instruction for the resource indicator.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in order for the player to better place the target virtual resource at a position that is effective for an actual game situation according to the actual game situation, the resource indicator may include a reference put point and a simulated enable shape for simulating a rendered shape of the target virtual resource enabled on a basis of the reference put point when the target virtual resource is at respective positions in the first virtual scene. Therefore, a rendering effect scene after the target virtual resource is enabled may be viewed by the player in the second virtual according to the resource indicator. Further, the reference put position of the resource indicator in the second virtual scene may be adjusted according to the influence of the rendering effect of the resource indicator on the actual game situation. In this case, the above step 204 of “determining the reference put position of the resource indicator in the second virtual scene, in response to the position determination instruction for the resource indicator” may include:
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, during the movement of the resource indicator, as the spatial layout of the second virtual scene varies, the height of the resource indicator in the second virtual scene varies, or the like, the rendering range of the simulated enable shape of the resource indicator changes. For example, when the target virtual resource is a smoke bomb, a smoke rendering range after the smoke bomb is enabled may change with the wall in the first virtual environment, the height of the put point of the smoke bomb in the first virtual scene, or the like. Therefore, in order to better enable the target virtual resource to have more beneficial effects on the actual game situation in the first virtual scene, it is necessary to determine the reference put position of the resource indicator in the second virtual scene according to the simulated enable shape and the reference put point of the resource indicator.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the number of target virtual resources put at one target put position varies, and the target rendering ranges after the target virtual resources are enabled varies. Therefore, the rendering range of the simulated enable shape of the resource indicator in the second virtual scene may also be determined according to the set number of target virtual resources. In this case, before the step of “determining a shape of the simulated enable shape of the resource indicator according to the spatial layout of the second virtual scene”, the method further includes: determining the number of puts of the target virtual resources in response to the number setting operation of the target virtual resource. After determining the number of the puts of the target virtual resources at the target put position, the above step of “determining the rendering range of the simulated enable shape of the resource indicator according to the spatial layout of the second virtual scene” may include: determining the rendering range of the simulated enable shape of the resource indicator according to the number of puts of the target virtual resources and the spatial layout of the second virtual scene.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to enable the player to control the virtual object operated by the player to attack with other hostile virtual objects, an attack control element for instructing the virtual object to launch an attack in the first virtual scene may be provided in the graphical user interface displaying the first virtual scene. During the determination of the reference put position of the resource indicator in the second virtual scene, there may not be other hostile virtual resources in the second virtual scene for the sake of fairness of the game, and the attack control element in the graphical user interface displaying the first virtual scene is ineffectiveness at this time. In order to simplify the setting of icons of the graphical user interface displaying the second virtual scene, the attack control element may be converted to the position determination control element for the resource indicator. At this time, the step of “determining the reference put position of the resource indicator in the second virtual scene, in response to the position confirmation instruction for the resource indicator” further includes: converting the attack control element into the position determination control element for the resource indicator; and in response to the touch operation on the position determination control element, generating the position confirmation instruction for the resource indicator.
For example, in the schematic view of the reference put position in the second virtual scene as shown in
Step 205: determining a target put position for the target virtual resource in the first virtual scene according to the reference put position, and putting the target virtual resource at the target put position in the first virtual scene.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the target virtual resource includes a target put point and a target enable shape, and the target enable shape includes a rendering shape of the target virtual resource enabled at the target put point. After the simulated enable shape and the put position of the reference put point of the resource indicator are determined in the second virtual scene, the above-mentioned step “switching the graphical user interface displaying the second virtual scene to the graphical user interface displaying the first virtual scene, and determining the target put position for the target virtual resource in the first virtual scene according to the reference put position” may include:
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the spatial position correspondence is a correspondence between respective spatial points of the first virtual scene and respective spatial points of the second virtual scene. Determining a rendering range corresponding to the simulated enable shape in the first virtual scene may include determining a key point(s) constituting the simulated enable shape, or determining, in the first virtual scene, a point(s) corresponding to all points constituting the simulated enable shape. The target rendering range of the target virtual resource is determined in the first virtual scene according to the determined corresponding key point(s). For example, as shown in
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, after the target put point of the target virtual resource in the first virtual scene is determined, and the target rendering range generated when the target virtual resource is enabled at the target put point, the target rendering range after the target virtual resource is enabled may be directly rendered at the target put position.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the put of the target virtual resource in the first virtual scene may be cancelled after the player triggers the enable trigger operation of the target virtual resource and before the reference put position of the resource indicator is determined. Specifically, the prop cancellation area is displayed in response to the enable trigger operation for the target virtual resource, and the graphical user interface displaying the second virtual scene is converted into the graphical user interface displaying the first virtual scene in response to a trigger operation on the prop cancellation area.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a display position and a display shape of the prop cancellation area in the graphical user interface displaying the second virtual scene may be set flexibly according to actual conditions, and it is not limited.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the graphical user interface including the second virtual scene and displaying the second virtual scene is displayed in response to the enable trigger operation for the target virtual resource, a plurality of resource indicators may be generated in the second virtual scene at one time, respective resource indicators may be moved, and after a reference put position of every resource indicator is determined, the position determination instruction is generated, so that the target put positions of the plurality of target virtual resources are determined at one time, and the target virtual resource is put at and enabled at the plurality of target put positions.
Any combination of the above technical solutions may be used to form an alternative embodiment of the present disclosure, and details are not described herein.
In a method for controlling the put of the virtual resource according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the player wants to put the target virtual resource at the target put position in the first virtual scene, he/she may make the enable trigger operation of the target virtual resource, and then move the resource indicator in the second virtual scene having the same spatial layout as the first virtual scene until the target virtual resource is moved to the reference put position in the second virtual scene corresponding to the first virtual scene, so that the terminal may determine the target put position in the first virtual scene according to the reference put position, and put the target virtual resource directly at the target put position. Therefore, the player may put the target virtual resource accurately to the target put position in the game scene, thereby reducing a skill requirement for the player to put the virtual resource.
Referring to
Step 701: display the first virtual scene and the virtual object in the first virtual scene by the graphical user interface.
For example, the graphical user interface displaying the first virtual scene is a game screen displayed on the display screen of the terminal after the terminal executes the game application program. The first virtual scene of the graphical user interface displaying the first virtual scene may have the game prop, and/or the plurality of virtual objects or the like (buildings, trees, mountains, or the like) constituting or included in a game world environment. The placement of the virtual object such as a building, a mountain, a wall, or the like in the first virtual scene constitutes the spatial layout of the first virtual scene.
Step 702: displaying the second virtual scene and the resource indicator located in the second virtual scene by the graphical user interface in response to the enable trigger operation for the target virtual resource.
For example, when the player performs the enable trigger operation, the second virtual scene may be obtained by the simplification of the first virtual scene, so that the second virtual scene is displayed.
Step 703: controlling the resource indicator to move in the second virtual scene, in response to the trigger operation on the movement control element in the graphical user interface displaying the second virtual scene.
For example, the movement control element includes the horizontal movement control element and the vertical movement control element. The resource indicator is moved in the horizontal direction of the second virtual scene in response to a touch operation on the horizontal movement control element. The resource indicator is moved in the vertical direction of the second virtual scene in response to a touch operation on the vertical movement control element.
Step 704: determining the rendering range of the simulated enable shape of the resource indicator according to the spatial layout of the second virtual scene during the movement of the resource indicator.
For example, in the process of moving the resource indicator by touching the movement control element, the spatial layout of the second virtual scene is obtained in real time. The rendering range of the simulated enable shape of the resource indicator is determined according to the spatial layout of the second virtual scene.
Step 705: obtaining the reference rendering range of the simulated enable shape and the position of the reference put point in the second virtual scene, in response to the position confirmation instruction for the resource indicator.
For example, in response to the position confirmation instruction for the resource indicator, the reference rendering range of the simulated enable shape, and the height and the ground projection coordinate of the reference put point in the second virtual scene are obtained. The position of the reference put point in the second virtual scene is determined according to the height and the ground projection coordinate.
Step 706: determining the reference put position of the resource indicator in the second virtual scene, according to the position of the reference put point in the second virtual scene and the reference rendering range of the simulated enable shape.
Step 707: determining the target put position for the target virtual resource in the first virtual scene according to the reference put position, and putting the target virtual resource at the target put position in the first virtual scene.
For example, the spatial position correspondence between the first virtual scene and the second virtual scene is obtained. The graphical user interface displaying the second virtual scene is switched into the graphical user interface displaying the first virtual scene. The target put position for the target virtual resource is determined in the first virtual scene according to the spatial position correspondence and the reference put position, and the target virtual resource is put at the target put position in the first virtual scene.
Any combination of the above technical solutions may be used to form an alternative embodiment of the present disclosure, and details are not described herein.
In a method for controlling the put of virtual resources according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the player wants to put the target virtual resource at the target put position in the first virtual scene, he/she may make the enable trigger operation of the target virtual resource, and then move the resource indicator in the second virtual scene having the same spatial layout as the first virtual scene until the target virtual resource is moved to the reference put position in the second virtual scene corresponding to the first virtual scene, so that the terminal may determine the target put position in the first virtual scene according to the reference put position, and put the target virtual resource directly at the target put position. Therefore, the player may put the target virtual resource accurately at the target put position in the game scene, thereby reducing a skill requirement for the player to put the virtual resource.
