The present disclosure relates to the field of game technology and, in particular, to a method for determining a damage range of a skill, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium.
In combat games, a scene map of a game scene is typically composed of consecutive polygons, such as quadrilaterals or hexagons. Compared to quadrilateral scene maps, hexagonal scene maps have several advantages, such as the maximum area for the same perimeter, equal distances from the center of a cell to centers of adjacent cells in all directions, and deeper strategic potential. Since a damage range of a game skill is usually in standard shapes such as circles, rectangles, sectors, cones, etc., when calculating the damage range of the skill based on a hexagonal scene map, it is necessary to calculate whether each hexagon is within the damage range based on the shape of the damage range of the skill and the distribution of surrounding hexagons, which imposes significant computational burden.
It should be noted that the above information disclosed in the “BACKGROUND” section is provided solely to enhance understanding of the background of the present disclosure and may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those of ordinary skill in the art.

The purposes and other advantages of the present disclosure are achieved and obtained with structures specifically pointed out in the description, claims, and drawings.
To make the above purposes, features, and advantages of the present disclosure more apparent and understandable, preferred embodiments will be described in detail below, accompanied by the attached drawings.
To illustrate technical solutions in specific embodiments of the present disclosure or in the existing technology more clearly, a brief description to the drawings required for use in describing the specific embodiments or the existing technology will be provided below. It is obvious that the drawings in the following description show some of the embodiments of the present disclosure. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can also be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.
In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely in the following in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments disclosed herein, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
Currently, in virtual scenes of combat games and other virtual scenes, both quadrilaterals and hexagons can be used as scene units to assemble scene maps. The application of scene maps composed of regular hexagons in games is becoming increasingly widespread. Compared to regular quadrilateral maps, regular hexagonal maps have many advantages, such as the maximum area for the same perimeter (i.e., high efficiency), equal distances from the center of a unit cell to centers of adjacent unit cells in all directions (i.e., fairness), and deeper strategic potential. However, the use of the regular hexagonal maps also faces challenges. For example, when an attacker simultaneously damages multiple hexagonal units, accurately calculating which hexagons are affected or damaged becomes crucial. For most attackers, a damage range caused by a skill typically takes standard shapes such as circles, rectangles, sectors, or cones. When these standard shapes intersect with hexagons, accurately determining which hexagons are affected is important for both the attacker and the attacked party.
In related art, purely physical methods are used to calculate the damage range of the skill. For example, in some games, in addition to hexagons, there is also a conventional coordinate system, namely the Cartesian coordinate system. When calculating the damage range, intersections are calculated by using coordinates, a range, and a position of the attacked party in the Cartesian coordinate system. The main advantage of such an approach is that it is more intuitive and has strong visual appeal. However, it also brings significant disadvantages, and the disadvantages mainly include: the damage range is calculated by using the coordinates of the Cartesian coordinate system, which has no relation to the hexagons, and the strategic depth provided by the hexagons is not utilized; and the determination of the damage range can easily lead to confusion. Since standard shapes such as circles, rectangles, sectors, and cones may intersect with hexagons at any position when they are intersected by hexagons, it is very easy to cause ambiguity between the visual effect of whether or not a hexagon is affected and the actual result, which is confusing to the players. As shown in
Based on the above, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for determining a damage range of a skill, an apparatus for determining a damage range of a skill, an electronic device, and a machine-readable storage medium. This technology can be applied in games, animations, and films, specifically for determining a damage range of a skill in games or other three-dimensional scenes.
For ease of understanding the embodiments, a detailed description of a method for determining a damage range of a skill disclosed herein is provided. As shown in
Step S202, in response to release of a target skill, determining a release position of the target skill, where the release position is located in a scene unit of a virtual scene, and the scene unit is a hexagon, and the virtual scene is composed of a plurality of scene units arranged consecutively.
For example, in combat games' scenes or other virtual scenes, a scene map of the virtual scene is typically composed of consecutively arranged polygons that are spliced together. The position of a virtual object in the scene can be represented by the position of the polygon where the virtual object is located. Each virtual object is equipped with at least one predefined skill, and information such as the damage shape, damage distance, and shooting range/effective range of each skill was set during the initial design. For instance, the skill “Summon Meteor” is set with a circular damage shape and a damage distance of 2, while the skill “Release Tornado” is set with a rectangular damage shape and a damage distance of 4, and so on. The damage shapes, distances, and shooting ranges/effective ranges for different skills can be completely different or partially similar. Based on this, after selecting a virtual object to be controlled, users can choose an appropriate position within a shooting range/effective range of a target skill, based on characteristics of each skill possessed by the virtual object and a distance from the virtual object to a target object to be attacked, to release the skill and achieve the goal of damaging the target object.
In one embodiment, the virtual scene is composed of a plurality of consecutively arranged hexagons that are spliced together, that is, the scene unit is a hexagon, and the virtual scene is composed of a plurality of scene units arranged consecutively. When an attackable object appears in the virtual scene, the user controls a virtual object to release a skill at a specific position on the scene map, i.e., the target skill is released, causing damage to the attackable object. For example, the extent of damage caused to the attackable object depends on the release position of the target skill. The closer the release position is to the target object to be attacked, the higher the damage inflicted on the target object.
In an optional embodiment, in the virtual scene composed of a plurality of hexagons arranged consecutively, a hexagonal coordinate system is established to describe the positions of objects in the virtual scene, as well as the release positions of the target skills. Specifically, using a scene unit in which a virtual object is located as the origin, coordinates of the coordinate system are extended in three directions of that scene unit. Based on the shooting range and release direction of the target skill, the release position of the target skill is determined. In this case, the shooting range of the target skill can be 1, 2, 3, or 4, etc., and the skill with different ranges has different release positions. For example, when the shooting range of the target skill is 1, positions up to I unit away from the scene unit where the virtual object is located can serve as release positions, totaling 6 positions. Based on the release direction, the final release position can be determined. Similarly, when the shooting range of the target skill is 2, positions up to 2 units away from the scene unit where the virtual object is located can serve as release positions, totaling 18 positions. Based on the release direction, the final release position can be determined from these 18 positions. When the shooting range of the target skill is 3, positions up to 3 units away from the scene unit where the virtual object is located can serve as release positions, totaling 36 positions. Based on the release direction, the final release position can be determined from these 36 positions.
Step S204, acquiring, based on the release position, first relative position information of a damage range of the target skill, where the first relative position information includes position information of the damage range of the target skill relative to the release position.
Furthermore, after determining the release position of the target skill, the first relative position information of the damage range of the target skill is acquired. The damage range of the target skill is related to factors such as the damage shape, the damage distance, etc. of the skill. The damage shape of the skill includes shapes such as circle, rectangle, sector, cone, etc. The damage distance of the skill can be 1, 2, 3, or 4, etc. The aforementioned first relative position information includes the position information of the damage range of the target skill relative to the release position.
Although different release positions result in different positions of the damage range of the target skill in the virtual scene, there is a certain regularity in the relative positions between the damage range of the target skill and the release position due to the relatively fixed parameters of the skill such as the damage shape and the damage distance. Based on this, in this embodiment, the position information of the damage range of the target skill relative to the release position, i.e., the first relative position information, can be pre-set and stored. During the battle in the game, after obtaining the release position, the first relative position information is retrieved. By performing simple vector calculations between the release position and the first relative position information, the damage range of the target skill can be determined.
In a specific embodiment, a skill typically has a release direction. Since there are different release directions, one release position may correspond to multiple pieces of first relative position information. Each piece of first relative position information also needs to be determined based on a release range.
Step S206, determining the damage range of the target skill based on the first relative position information of the damage range of the target skill.
Based on the above, after obtaining the first relative position information of the damage range of the target skill, the damage range of the target skill can be obtained by adding the coordinate information of the release position of the target skill and the first relative position information as vectors.
In practical implementation, in one method, the shooting range of the target skill is relatively small; the line connecting the object position of the virtual object that releases the target skill and the release position is perpendicular to any side of a hexagonal scene unit in the virtual scene, or the line connecting the object position and the release position passes through any corner of a hexagonal scene unit in the virtual scene; and a center line of the damage range of the skill coincides with the line connecting the object position and the release position of the target skill. In this method, the damage range of the target skill can be obtained by adding the coordinate information of the release position of the target skill to the first relative position information.
In another method, the shooting range of the target skill is relatively large; the line connecting the object position and the release position is not perpendicular to any side of a hexagonal scene unit in the virtual scene, or the line connecting the object position and the release position does not pass through any corner of a hexagonal scene unit in the virtual scene. In this method, after adding the coordinate information of the release position of the target skill to the first relative position information, the damage range of the target skill is adjusted according to predefined rules, ensuring that an angle, between the center line of the damage range of the target skill and the line connecting the object position and the release position, is minimized, thereby adjusting the damage range to align more closely with the edge or corner, which is more in line with the player's perception.
In the above method for determining the damage range of the skill, the release position of the target skill is determined in response to the release of the target skill, where the release position is located in a scene unit in the virtual scene, the scene unit is a hexagon, and the virtual scene is composed of a plurality of scene units arranged consecutively; the first relative position information of the damage range of the target skill is acquired based on the release position, where the first relative position information includes the position information of the damage range of the target skill relative to the release position; and based on the first relative position information of the damage range of the target skill, the damage range of the target skill is determined. Through this method, the relative position information of the damage range of the target skill relative to the release position can be pre-stored, and after the release position is determined during the battle in the game, the damage range of the target skill can be directly determined based on the relative position information, without the need to calculate whether each hexagon is within the damage range, reducing the computation and alleviating the computational pressure.
Furthermore, the pre-stored relative position information of the damage range of the target skill relative to the release position is determined based on the hexagonal scene map. Based on the pre-stored relative position information of the damage range of the target skill relative to the release position, the damage range of the target skill is determined during the battle in the game, which can be understood as the damage range of the target skill is also determined based on the hexagonal scene map. Therefore, the damage range of the target skill matches the hexagonal scene map more accurately. Compared to calculating the damage range based on a conventional two-dimensional map and displaying it on a hexagonal scene map, this method can also improve the accuracy of displaying the damage range.
The following embodiments provide specific implementation methods for acquiring the first relative position information.
Specifically, second relative position information of the release position relative to the object position of the virtual object that releases the target skill is determined; and the first relative position information of the damage range of the target skill corresponding to the second relative position information is acquired. Here, when the second relative position information is different, the first relative position information corresponding to the second relative position information is also different.
In combat games' scenes, each virtual object possesses skill attributes including shooting range, damage shape, damage distance, etc. Based on the attribute of the shooting range of the skill, the release position of the target skill can be obtained, and then the second relative position information of the release position, relative to the object position of the virtual object, can be determined. For example, when the shooting range of the target skill is 1, 6 scene units each is 1 unit away from the virtual object can serve as release positions. Since the skill's release is also directional in the game scene, these 6 scene units have different positions relative to the virtual object. Based on the release direction of the skill, the final release position can be further determined. After determining the release position of the target skill, since the object position of the virtual object has also been known, the second relative position information can be determined to acquire the first relative position information of the damage range of the target skill corresponding to the second relative position information. The first relative position information is used to determine the damage range of the target skill.
Specifically, the virtual object can release the target skill in any direction. When the release direction of the target skill is different, the release position is also different. Based on this, the second relative position information can also be used to indicate the release direction of the target skill. When the release direction is different, the relative position between the damage range and the release position is also different. For example, when the virtual object releases the target skill to the right, the release position is located on the right side of the virtual object and the damage range is also located on the right side of the release position; and when the virtual object releases the target skill to the left, the release position is located on the left side of the virtual object and the damage range is also located on the left side of the release position. Therefore, different second relative position information means different release directions, and when the release directions are different, the first relative position information corresponding to the second relative position information will be different.
The first relative position information is related to the damage shape and the damage distance of the target skill. In one embodiment, when the damage shape of the target skill is a rectangle and the damage distance is 1, there will be 4 scene units each is 1 unit away from the release position to form the first relative position information. When choosing a different release position, the aforementioned first relative position information will change, that is, when the second relative position information is different, the first relative position information corresponding to the second relative position information is different.
The following embodiments provide specific implementation methods for determining the second relative position information.
Specifically, a first hexagonal coordinate system is established with a scene unit corresponding to the object position as the origin; and coordinate information of the release position in the first hexagonal coordinate system is determined as the second relative position information. The second relative position information is used to indicate a release direction and a release distance of the release of the target skill by the virtual object.
In a specific method, as shown in
After determining the second relative position information, the first relative position information of the damage range of the target skill corresponding to this second relative position information can be obtained by: establishing a second hexagonal coordinate system with a scene unit corresponding to the release position as the origin; setting one or more target scene units belonging to the damage range of the target skill; and determining coordinate information of the one or more target scene units in the second hexagonal coordinate system as the first relative position information of the damage range of the target skill corresponding to the second relative position information.
In one embodiment, by taking the scene unit where the release position is located as the coordinate origin, and extending the coordinates of the coordinate system in three directions of the scene unit, the second hexagonal coordinate system is established. The coordinates of the release position are determined as (0, 0, 0), and then one or more target scene units belonging to the damage range of the target skill are set. The damage range of the target skill is related to the factors such as the damage shape and the damage distance of the skill. The damage shape of a skill includes circle, rectangle, fan, cone, etc. The damage distance of a skill can be 1, 2, 3, or 4.
In an optional embodiment, as shown in
The above embodiments of acquiring the first relative position information are related to the damage shape of the target skill. Specifically, the one or more target scene units belonging to the damage range of the target skill are set based on the shape of the damage range of the target skill. The damage shape of the skill is one of the attributes of the skill, including circle, rectangle, sector, cone and so on, which is set by the engineer when designing the skill. Since the damage shape is usually a standard shape that is difficult to match with the hexagon absolutely, to make the damage range as accurate as possible, it is necessary to set the target scene units based on the damage shape of the target skill. For example, the damage shape is a rectangle in
When a skill is released at the same position and at a fixed damage distance, a different shape of the damage range results in different damage coverage of the skill. For example, when the damage distance is 1, the damage shapes are circular, rectangular, sectorial, and conical, as shown in
The following embodiments provide a specific implementation method for setting the target scene units.
Specifically, if a line connecting the object position and the release position satisfies a specified condition, one or more target scene units are set to make a center line of an area corresponding to the one or more target scene units coincide with the line connecting the object position and the release position. If the line connecting the object position and the release position fails to satisfy the specified condition, one or more target scene units are set to minimize an angle between the center line of the area corresponding to the one or more target scene units and the line connecting the object position and the release position. The specified condition includes: the line connecting the object position and the release position being perpendicular to any side of a hexagonal scene unit in the virtual scene, or the line connecting the object position and the release position passing through any corner of a hexagonal scene unit in the virtual scene.
In one embodiment, for example, when a shooting range of the target skill is 1, as shown in
In another embodiment, when a shooting range of the target skill is 3, as shown in
Specifically, as shown in
The following provides specific implementation methods for determining the damage range of the target skill.
Specifically, coordinate information of the release position in the first hexagonal coordinate system is acquired, where the first hexagonal coordinate system is a coordinate system with the scene unit corresponding to the object position as origin; and coordinate information of the damage range of the target skill in the first hexagonal coordinate system is determined based on the coordinate information of the release position in the first hexagonal coordinate system and the first relative position information of the damage range of the target skill.
In one embodiment, the first hexagonal coordinate system is established with the scene unit corresponding to the object position as the origin, the coordinate information of the release position in the first hexagonal coordinate system is determined, and then the coordinate information of the release position in the first hexagonal coordinate system is added to the first relative position information of the damage range of the target skill. In this way; the coordinate information of the damage range of the target skill in the first hexagonal coordinate system can be determined.
In an optional embodiment, when the damage shape of the target skill is rectangular and the damage distance is 4, taking (1, 0, −1) as the release position of the target skill, and using the above 13 scene units as an example of the first relative position information, the information of the damage range of the target skill in the first hexagonal coordinate system is as follows: Coordinate 1 is (1, 0, −1)+(0, 0, 0)=(1, 0, −1), Coordinate 2 is (1, 0, −1)+(0, 1, −1)=(1, 1, −2), Coordinate 3 is (1, 0, −1)+(1, 1, −2)=(2, 1, −3), Coordinate 4 is (1, 0, −1)+(2, 1, −3)=(3, 1, −4), Coordinate 5 is (1, 0, −1)+(3, 1, −4)=(4, 1, −5), Coordinate 6 is (1, 0, −1)+(4, 0, −4)=(5, 0, −5), Coordinate 7 is (1, 0, −1)+(3, 0, −3)=(4, 0, −4), Coordinate 8 is (1, 0, −1)+(2, 0, −2)=(3, 0, −3), Coordinate 9 is (1, 0, −1)+(1, 0, −1)=(2, 0, −2), Coordinate 10 is (1, 0, −1)+(1, −1, 0)=(2, −1, −1), Coordinate 11 is (1, 0, −1)+(2, −1, −1)=(3, −1, −2), Coordinate 12 is (1, 0, −1)+(3, −1, −2)=(4, −1, −3), and Coordinate 13 is (1, 0, −1)+(4, −1, −3)=(5, −1, −4). Based on this, the coordinate information of the damage range of the target skill in the first hexagonal coordinate system can be determined.
The method for determining the damage range of the skill provided in the above embodiments uses coordinates of ranges that pre-defined damage types with different shapes and different distances relative to a hexagonal coordinate system can damage, which significantly reduces computational pressure on one hand, and allows using the hexagon as the smallest unit to determine affected targets on the other hand, thus returning to the original intention of the game to use the hexagon as the base unit of the battle scene, i.e., maximizing the use of the strategic space brought by hexagons in combat. In addition, the embodiments of the present disclosure also correct the damage range in the non-edge and non-corner directions, which also makes the damage range generated by the actual battle more in line with the player's perception.
It should be noted that while the steps for determining the damage range of the skill in this disclosure are described in a specific order in the accompanying drawings, this does not require or imply that these steps must be executed in that specific order, or that all steps shown must be performed to achieve the desired result. Additionally, or alternatively, some steps may be omitted, multiple steps may be combined into a single step, and/or one step may be divided into multiple steps for execution.
For the method embodiments above, refer to an apparatus for determining a damage range of a skill as shown in

In some examples, setting the one or more target scene units belonging to the damage range of the target skill includes: in response to a line connecting the object position and the release position satisfying a specified condition, setting the one or more target scene units to make a center line of an area corresponding to the one or more target scene units coincide with the line connecting the object position and the release position; in response to the line connecting the object position and the release position failing to satisfy the specified condition, setting the one or more target scene units to minimize an angle between the center line of the area corresponding to the one or more target scene units and the line connecting the object position and the release position; where the specified condition includes: the line connecting the object position and the release position being perpendicular to any side of a hexagonal scene unit in the virtual scene, or the line connecting the object position and the release position passing through any corner of a hexagonal scene unit in the virtual scene.
In some examples, determining the damage range of the target skill based on the first relative position information of the damage range of the target skill includes: acquiring coordinate information of the release position in a first hexagonal coordinate system, where the first hexagonal coordinate system is a coordinate system with a scene unit corresponding to an object position of a virtual object that releases the target skill, as origin; and determining coordinate information of the damage range of the target skill in the first hexagonal coordinate system based on the coordinate information of the release position in the first hexagonal coordinate system and the first relative position information of the damage range of the target skill.
Through the above embodiments, the relative position information of the damage range of the target skill relative to the release position can be pre-stored, and after the release position is determined during the battle in the game, the damage range of the target skill can be directly determined based on the relative position information, without the need to calculate whether each hexagon is within the damage range, reducing the computation and alleviating the computational pressure.
Furthermore, the pre-stored relative position information of the damage range of the target skill relative to the release position is determined based on the hexagonal scene map. Based on the pre-stored relative position information of the damage range of the target skill relative to the release position, the damage range of the target skill is determined during the battle in the game, which can be understood as the damage range of the target skill is also determined based on the hexagonal scene map. Therefore, the damage range of the target skill matches the hexagonal scene map more accurately. Compared to calculating the damage range based on a conventional two-dimensional map and displaying it on a hexagonal scene map, this method can also improve the accuracy of displaying the damage range.
Embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a machine-readable storage medium, which stores machine-executable instructions. When the machine-executable instructions are called or invoked by a processor, the machine-executable instructions cause the processor to implement the method of determining the damage range of the skill as described above, such as: in response to release of a target skill, determining a release position of the target skill, wherein the release position is located in a scene unit within a virtual scene, the scene unit is hexagonal, and the virtual scene is composed of a plurality of scene units arranged consecutively; acquiring, based on the release position, first relative position information of a damage range of the target skill, wherein the first relative position information includes position information of the damage range of the target skill relative to the release position; and determining the damage range of the target skill based on the first relative position information of the damage range of the target skill.
In some examples, acquiring, based on the release position, the first relative position information of the damage range of the target skill includes: determining second relative position information of the release position relative to an object position of a virtual object that releases the target skill; and acquiring the first relative position information of the damage range of the target skill corresponding to the second relative position information, where, when the second relative position information is different, the first relative position information corresponding to the second relative position information is different.
In some examples, determining the second relative position information of the release position relative to the object position of the virtual object that releases the target skill includes: establishing a first hexagonal coordinate system with a scene unit corresponding to the object position as origin, and determining coordinate information of the release position in the first hexagonal coordinate system as the second relative position information; where the second relative position information is configured to indicate a release direction and a release distance of the release of the target skill by the virtual object.
In some examples, the first relative position information of the damage range of the target skill corresponding to the second relative position information is pre-set by: establishing a second hexagonal coordinate system with the scene unit corresponding to the release position as origin; setting one or more target scene units belonging to the damage range of the target skill; and determining coordinate information of the one or more target scene units in the second hexagonal coordinate system as the first relative position information of the damage range of the target skill corresponding to the second relative position information.
In some examples, setting the one or more target scene units belonging to the damage range of the target skill includes: setting, based on a shape of the damage range of the target skill, the one or more target scene units belonging to the damage range of the target skill.
In some examples, setting the one or more target scene units belonging to the damage range of the target skill includes: in response to a line connecting the object position and the release position satisfying a specified condition, setting the one or more target scene units to make a center line of an area corresponding to the one or more target scene units coincide with the line connecting the object position and the release position; in response to the line connecting the object position and the release position failing to satisfy the specified condition, setting the one or more target scene units to minimize an angle between the center line of the area corresponding to the one or more target scene units and the line connecting the object position and the release position; where the specified condition includes: the line connecting the object position and the release position being perpendicular to any side of a hexagonal scene unit in the virtual scene, or the line connecting the object position and the release position passing through any corner of a hexagonal scene unit in the virtual scene.
In some examples, determining the damage range of the target skill based on the first relative position information of the damage range of the target skill includes: acquiring coordinate information of the release position in a first hexagonal coordinate system, where the first hexagonal coordinate system is a coordinate system with a scene unit corresponding to an object position of a virtual object that releases the target skill, as origin; and determining coordinate information of the damage range of the target skill in the first hexagonal coordinate system based on the coordinate information of the release position in the first hexagonal coordinate system and the first relative position information of the damage range of the target skill.
Through the above embodiments, the relative position information of the damage range of the target skill relative to the release position can be pre-stored, and after the release position is determined during the battle in the game, the damage range of the target skill can be directly determined based on the relative position information, without the need to calculate whether each hexagon is within the damage range, reducing the computation and alleviating the computational pressure.
Furthermore, the pre-stored relative position information of the damage range of the target skill relative to the release position is determined based on the hexagonal scene map. Based on the pre-stored relative position information of the damage range of the target skill relative to the release position, the damage range of the target skill is determined during the battle in the game, which can be understood as the damage range of the target skill is also determined based on the hexagonal scene map. Therefore, the damage range of the target skill matches the hexagonal scene map more accurately. Compared to calculating the damage range based on a conventional two-dimensional map and displaying it on a hexagonal scene map, this method can also improve the accuracy of displaying the damage range.
