In addition, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application, generally described and illustrated in the figures herein, can be arranged and designed in a wide variety of different configurations. Thus, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application, presented in the accompanying drawings, is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but is merely representative of selected embodiments of the application. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments of the present application without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the term "comprising" is used to indicate the presence of the features stated hereinafter, but does not exclude the addition of further features.

In the game, currently, a player controls a game character to move in a default form by controlling a movable rocker with a left thumb, and when the form of the game character is controlled to be switched, the player usually needs to click a form control to be switched with a right hand, and actually, the game also has more complex operation, but in the existing game design, the left thumb of the player only has the function of controlling the movement, and the right hand of the player needs to undertake heavier operation behaviors (for example, switching the form and executing specific actions), so that the problem of unbalanced operation intensity of the left hand and the right hand of the player is caused; moreover, if two or more operations need to be completed by the right hand of the player, the thumb of the right hand of the player needs to be moved quickly to click the corresponding functional area, the smoothness of the operations is completely limited by the reaction speed of the player, the operation difficulty of the player is high, and the man-machine efficiency is low.

In addition, at present, a derivative design aiming at the movable rocker is provided, so that the left hand of the player can bear more operation forms, and the game experience of the player is more smooth and convenient. For example, the player can move the joystick forward for a period of time by operating the joystick with the left hand to trigger the game character to keep a continuous sprint form, so as to realize the form switching of the game character. However, in this form switching method, a player needs to control a game character to move forward for a certain period of time to trigger, and can only continue to rush forward, and if the direction is changed, the player needs to adjust the visual field by the right hand to control the moving direction.

At present, another derivative design for the moving rocker exists, and the form of the game role after being switched interferes with the function of the movement itself, so that the two derivative designs for the moving rocker have certain optimization space.

Based on this, embodiments of the present application provide a method and an apparatus for controlling a game character, an electronic device, and a storage medium, in which a player can quickly implement switching between different forms of a target game character through two operations that correspond to different preset area ranges and can be continuously switched, thereby alleviating the problem of imbalance in the operation strength of both hands of the player, reducing the operation difficulty of the player, and not limiting the operation of the player, improving the operation flexibility of the player, implementing real-time switching between game character forms and reducing the operation complexity of the player, and the form after the game character switching does not interfere with the function of moving the player, thereby improving the man-machine efficiency.

For the convenience of understanding the present embodiment, a method, an apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium for controlling a game character provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below.

As shown in fig. 1a, in order to provide a method for controlling a game character according to a first embodiment of the present application, a terminal device provides a graphical user interface, where a game scene of a game is displayed in the graphical user interface, and the game scene at least includes a target game character; the graphical user interface comprises a mobile control area, and the control method comprises the following steps:

s101, responding to a first operation acting on the mobile control area, and determining a first contact area of the first operation; and determining a first target form matched with the first preset area range according to the first preset area range to which the first contact area belongs, and controlling the target game role to trigger the first target form.

S102, responding to a second operation which is continuous with the first operation and acts on the movement control area, and determining a second contact area of the second operation; and determining a second target form matched with a second preset area range according to the second preset area range to which the second contact area belongs, and controlling the target game role to be switched from the first target form to the second target form.

The embodiment of the application provides a control method of game roles, a player can realize control of different forms of target game roles through two operations which correspond to different preset area ranges and can be switched continuously, the problem of unbalanced double-hand operation strength of the player is solved, the operation difficulty of the player is reduced, furthermore, the operation of the player is not limited, the operation flexibility of the player is improved, the real-time switching of the forms of the game roles is realized, the operation complexity of the player is reduced, in addition, the forms after the game roles are switched can not interfere with the functions of moving the player, and the man-machine efficiency is improved.

The above exemplary steps provided by the embodiments of the present application are described below by taking the application of the above method to a terminal device as an example.

S101, responding to a first operation acting on the mobile control area, and determining a first contact area of the first operation; and determining a first target form matched with the first preset area range according to the first preset area range to which the first contact area belongs, and controlling the target game role to trigger the first target form.

The above-described control method of a game character can be applied to various types of games each including at least a target game character controlled by a player. As shown in fig. 1b, in the embodiment of the present application, a terminal device provides a graphical user interface 100, a mobile control area 101 is provided on the graphical user interface 100, and in addition, a game scene 200 of an application game is displayed on the graphical user interface 100, where the game scene 200 at least includes the target game character 201. Generally, the movement control area 101 is disposed at a lower left position of the graphical user interface 100, so that the user can control the target game character 201 to move in the game scene 200 by operating the movement control area 101 with the left hand.

In the embodiment of the present application, the player operates different contact areas for the operation in the movement control region, and different target forms are triggered corresponding to the control target game character. Different preset area ranges and target forms corresponding to the preset area ranges are preset in the terminal equipment. Optionally, the method includes a first preset area range and a first target form corresponding to the first preset area range; and the second preset area range and a second target form corresponding to the second preset area range.

When the terminal device detects a first operation of a player acting on a mobile control area, determining a first contact area of the first operation, judging which preset area range the first contact area belongs to, and when determining that the first contact area belongs to the first preset area range, determining a first target form corresponding to the first preset area range, and controlling a target game character to trigger the first target form.

Here, when the control target game character triggers the first target form, first, the current form of the target game character is determined; if the current form of the target game role is different from the first target form, controlling the target game role to be switched from the current form to the first target form; and controlling the target game character to maintain the first target form if the current form of the target game character is the same as the first target form.

Optionally, the first operation may be an operation in which the action position is kept unchanged, for example, a touch click operation, a long press operation, and a heavy press operation; the operation of effecting a change in position may also be, for example, a movement operation or a drag operation for a movement control located in the movement control area.

When the first operation is an operation of acting position change (such as a drag operation for a movement control), after the control target game character triggers the first target form, the control target game character is also controlled to move in the game scene in the first target form.

S102, responding to a second operation which is continuous with the first operation and acts on the movement control area, and determining a second contact area of the second operation; and determining a second target form matched with a second preset area range according to the second preset area range to which the second contact area belongs, and controlling the target game role to be switched from the first target form to the second target form.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the second operation is a continuous operation with the first operation, and the second operation and the first operation correspond to different predetermined area ranges. Here, the second operation is an operation in which the corresponding second contact area satisfies the second preset area range, and then, the first target form corresponding to the second preset area range to which the second contact area belongs is determined, and the target game character is controlled to switch from the first target form to the second target form.

Optionally, the second operation may be an operation in which the action position is kept unchanged, for example, a touch click operation, a long press operation, and a heavy press operation; the operation of effecting a change in position may also be, for example, a movement operation or a drag operation for a movement control located in the movement control area.

When the second operation is an operation of changing the action position (for example, a drag operation for the movement control), after the control target game character is switched from the first target form to the second target form, the control target game character is also controlled to move in the game scene in the second target form.

Alternatively, the target configuration may include a standing configuration or a diving configuration. For example, when the first target configuration is a standing configuration, the second target configuration is a sneak configuration: when the second target form is a standing form, the first target form is a sneak form; wherein, when the target game role triggers the sneak form, the target game role submerges into the appointed liquid of the game scene. In some games, the specified liquid may be ink.

For example, in a game of a type in which a player needs to change the form while walking and sneak into ink to steal an enemy, the game of the type is highly required to change the form of a game character, and the form of the game character needs to be changed quickly and frequently. The method is difficult to handle in the traditional game role operation control, and by adopting the method, the switching of different forms of the game role can be quickly realized, the problem of unbalanced operation intensity of both hands of a player is relieved, the operation difficulty of the player is reduced, and the man-machine efficiency is improved.

For example, the "click and press" of the left thumb corresponds to the "movement and lying prone" of the control target game character, or the "click and press" of the left thumb corresponds to the movement and squat of the control target game character.

Further, as shown in fig. 1b, in the method for controlling a game character according to the embodiment of the present application, the movement control area 101 includes: a first control area 1011 and a second control area 1012 in communication with the first control area 1011; the second control area 1012 is located below the first control area 1011; the first control area 1011 is used to control the triggering of one target configuration, and the first control area 1011 and the second control area 1012 are used together to trigger another target configuration. Optionally, the movement control is located in the first control area 1011, and the movement control can move within a preset area including the movement control area 101. Alternatively, the target configuration may include a standing configuration or a diving configuration.

For example, the first control area 1011 is used for controlling and triggering a first target form, and the first control area 1011 and the second control area 1012 are commonly used for controlling and triggering a second target form; in this case, the first target form is a standing form, and the second target form is a creeping form. Alternatively, the first control area 1011 is used to control triggering of the second target configuration, and the first control area 1011 and the second control area 1012 are used together to control triggering of the first target configuration. In this case, when the second target form is the standing form, the first target form is the creeping form. Wherein when the target game character triggers the sneak mode, the target game character submerges into the designated liquid of the game scene.

The different trigger operations of the player moving the control area 101 differ the display state of the movement control area 101. As shown in fig. 1c, fig. 1c shows, from left to right, a display state of the movement control area 101 when the player does not operate the movement control area 101; a display state of the movement control area 101 when the player operates the first control area 1011 in the movement control area 101; and a display state of the movement control area 101 when the player operates the first control area 1011 and the second control area 1012 in the movement control area 101 at the same time.

As shown in fig. 1d, for example, if the first operation is a "touch-and-click operation" applied to the first control area 1011, it is determined that the first target form triggered by the control target game character is a "standing form"; if the first operation is a "drag operation for a movement control" acting on the first control area 1011, it is determined that the first target form triggered by the control target game character is a "standing movement form".

As shown in fig. 1d, for another example, if the second operation is a "touch-and-click operation" simultaneously acting on the first control area 1011 and the second control area 1012, it is determined that the second target form triggered by the control target game character is a "submerged specific liquid form" (e.g., submerged in ink); if the second operation is a "drag operation for a movement control" simultaneously acting on the first control area 1011 and the second control area 1012, it is determined that the second target form triggered by the control target game character is a "form of movement submerged in a specific liquid".

Further, in the method for controlling a game character provided in the embodiment of the present application, the graphical user interface includes a skill control area, and the method further includes:

determining, in response to a third operation directed to the skill control area, a third contact area for the third operation; and determining a first target skill matched with the first preset area range according to the first preset area range to which the third contact area belongs, and controlling the target game role to release the first target skill.

Wherein, the player controls the target game role to release the skill by triggering the operation of the skill control area. A skill control area is provided on a graphical user interface provided by a terminal device, and is usually arranged at the lower right position of the graphical user interface, so that a user can conveniently control a target game character to release a target skill in a game scene by operating the skill control area with the right hand. As shown in fig. 1b, the skill control area may be the area in which the particular skill control is located in the skill control area 102.

In the embodiment of the application, the player acts on different contact areas of the operation of the skill control area, and different target skills are triggered corresponding to the control target game role. Different preset area ranges and target skills corresponding to each preset area range are preset in the terminal equipment. Optionally, the first target skill includes a first preset area range and a first target skill corresponding to the first preset area range; and the second preset area range and a second target skill corresponding to the second preset area range.

When the terminal device detects a third operation of a player acting on the skill control area, determining a third contact area of the third operation, judging which preset area range the third contact area belongs to, and when determining that the third contact area belongs to a first preset area range, determining a first target skill corresponding to the first preset area range, and controlling a target game character to trigger the first target skill.

Optionally, the third operation may be an operation in which the action position remains unchanged, for example, a touch click operation, a long-time press operation, and a heavy-time press operation for the skill control; it may also be an operation that effects a change in position, such as a movement operation or a drag operation for a skill control located in the skill control area.

In addition, after the player triggers a fourth operation continuous with the third operation for the skill movement control region, determining a fourth contact area of the fourth operation in response to the fourth operation continuous with the third operation for the skill movement control region; and determining a second target skill matched with a second preset area range according to the second preset area range to which the fourth contact area belongs, and controlling the target game role to switch from releasing the first target skill to releasing the second target skill.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the fourth operation is a continuous operation with the third operation, and the preset area ranges corresponding to the fourth operation and the second operation are different. Here, the fourth operation is an operation in which the corresponding fourth contact area satisfies the second preset area range, and then, the second target skill corresponding to the second preset area range to which the second contact area belongs is determined, and the target game character is controlled to switch from the first target skill to the second target skill.

Optionally, the fourth operation may be an operation in which the action position is kept unchanged, for example, a touch click operation, a long press operation, and a heavy press operation; it may also be an operation that effects a change in position, such as a movement operation or a drag operation for a skill control located in the skill control area.

Further, in the method for controlling a game character provided in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 2, the method further includes:

s201, responding to the selection operation aiming at the target skills, and determining the first target skill and the second target skill selected by the selection operation.

S202, responding to configuration operation aiming at the first target skill and the second target skill, configuring the first target skill to match the first preset area range, and configuring the second target skill to match the second preset area range.

In conjunction with step 201 and step 202, the player may perform configuration operation on the target skills, select a first target skill (or matching target skills) corresponding to a first preset area range, and select a second target skill (or matching target skills) corresponding to a second preset area range. For example, the first preset area range corresponds to "points of the player's fingers", the second preset area range corresponds to "pressing of the player's fingers", and "points and presses of the right thumb" correspond to "shooting and opening mirrors" for controlling the target game character; the 'click and press' of the thumb of the right hand corresponds to the 'shooting and gun changing' of the game role of the control target; the 'click and press' of the thumb of the right hand corresponds to the 'shooting and bullet changing' of the game role of the control target; the "click and press" of the right thumb corresponds to the "shooting and jumping" of the control target game character.

When the thumb is pressed down, the contact area between the finger and the screen is instantly enlarged, so that a large friction force is generated between the finger and the screen, and the friction force can generate the illusion that the player moves slowly. In order to improve the game experience of the player, in the embodiment of the application, when the target game character moves the same distance in the game scene, if the first preset area range is larger than the second preset area range, the moving distance of the first dragging operation on the graphical user interface is smaller than the moving distance of the second dragging operation on the graphical user interface; and if the first preset area range is smaller than the second preset area range, the moving distance of the first dragging operation on the graphical user interface is larger than the moving distance of the second dragging operation on the graphical user interface.

Specifically, the embodiment of the present application may neutralize the friction force in the following manner: and (3) dynamically adjusting the sensitivity of the rocker: after the program distinguishes the click state and the press state of the player, the sensitivity of the joystick during the sneak state is actively increased in the press state, so that the influence of the friction force is neutralized. Namely, more obvious visual feedback of 'pressing' is given, and when the target game role moves the same distance in the game scene, the moving positions of the moving rocker corresponding to the 'pressing' state are fewer; through this kind of mode, improved player's gaming experience.

The control method for the game role provided by the embodiment of the application has the following beneficial effects:

1) the possibility of transplanting the host side and playing the mobile phone side in the Switch platform is increased. The operation habit of present cell-phone end player uses both hands to grip as the main, through the mode of this application, can let the player pass through the form of left thumb fast switch over role in the game, has reduced the quantity of required input carrier, and this kind is with the mode of "mobile control region" design for compound controlling part, has given the player bigger operation possibility.

2) In a particular game implementation, a technical barrier may be formed. The method and the device are suitable for game types needing rapid role form switching and flexible movement, have the advantages of being simple to operate, free of movement interruption, capable of meeting finger inertia, capable of meeting player cognition and the like compared with other operation modes, and can form a strong technical barrier if the player accepts and adapts.

As shown in fig. 3, in a method for controlling a game character according to a second embodiment of the present application, a terminal device provides a graphical user interface, where a game scene of a game is displayed in the graphical user interface, and the game scene at least includes a target game character; the graphical user interface comprises a mobile control area, and the control method comprises the following steps:

s301, responding to a first operation acting on the mobile control area, determining a first action shape of the first operation, and selecting a first target shape similar to the first action shape from preset reference shapes; and controlling the target game character to trigger a first target form corresponding to the first target shape.

In general, the movement control area is arranged at the lower left position of the graphical user interface, so that a user can conveniently control the target game character to move in a game scene by operating the movement control area with the left hand.

In the embodiment of the present application, different action shapes of operations of a player acting on a movement control area trigger different target forms corresponding to a control target game character. Different reference shapes and target forms corresponding to the reference shapes are preset in the terminal equipment. Optionally, a first target form including a first reference shape and corresponding to the first reference shape; and the second reference shape and a second target form corresponding to the second reference shape.

When the terminal device detects a first operation of a player acting on a mobile control area, a first action shape of the first operation is determined, a shape similar to the first action shape is selected from preset reference shapes, and when the first action shape is determined to be similar to a first target shape, a first target form corresponding to the first target shape is determined, and a target game role is controlled to trigger the first target form.

Here, when the control target game character triggers the first target form, first, the current form of the target game character is determined; if the current form of the target game role is different from the first target form, controlling the target game role to be switched from the current form to the first target form; and controlling the target game character to maintain the first target form if the current form of the target game character is the same as the first target form.

Optionally, the first operation may be an operation in which the action position is kept unchanged, for example, a touch click operation, a long press operation, and a heavy press operation; the operation of effecting a change in position may also be, for example, a movement operation or a drag operation for a movement control located in the movement control area.

When the first operation is an operation of acting position change (such as a drag operation for a movement control), after the control target game character triggers the first target form, the control target game character is also controlled to move in the game scene in the first target form.

Here, the second operation is an operation in which the corresponding second action shape is similar to the second target shape, and thereafter, the second target form corresponding to the second target shape is specified, and the target game character is controlled to be switched from the first target form to the second target form.

Optionally, the second operation may be an operation in which the action position is kept unchanged, for example, a touch click operation, a long press operation, and a heavy press operation; the operation of effecting a change in position may also be, for example, a movement operation or a drag operation for a movement control located in the movement control area.

When the second operation is an operation of changing the action position (for example, a drag operation for the movement control), after the control target game character is switched from the first target form to the second target form, the control target game character is also controlled to move in the game scene in the second target form.

Alternatively, the target configuration may include a standing configuration or a diving configuration. For example, when the first target configuration is a standing configuration, the second target configuration is a sneak configuration: when the second target form is a standing form, the first target form is a sneak form; wherein, when the target game role triggers the sneak form, the target game role submerges into the appointed liquid of the game scene. In some games, the specified liquid may be ink.

In addition, the corresponding features in the first embodiment of the present application can also be applied to the second embodiment.

When switching the target form of the target game character by the first operation and the second operation is realized by the contact area, the third operation and the fourth operation may realize switching of the target skill of the target game character by the contact area, or may realize switching of the target skill of the target game character by the action shape. Conversely, when switching of the target form of the target game character by the first operation and the second operation is realized by the action shape, the third operation and the fourth operation may realize switching of the target skill of the target game character by the action shape, or may realize switching of the target skill of the target game character by the contact area.
