FIG. 2 provides an interface diagram of a virtual scene provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application.

Exemplarily, in the first interface 210, a first virtual object 312, a second virtual object 314 and a third virtual object 316 are displayed; specifically, the number of the third virtual objects is two. Exemplarily, in the first interface 210, the first virtual object 312 uses the virtual shooting prop it holds to perform a virtual attack on the second virtual object 314.

When the second virtual object 314 is eliminated due to the virtual attack, the second interface 220 is displayed; in the second interface 220 , the second virtual object 314 is eliminated and falls on the ground, and virtual explosives 314 a fall around the second virtual object 314 .

In the second interface 220, the first virtual object 312 uses the virtual shooting props held by the first virtual object 312 to perform a virtual attack on the virtual explosive 314a. In response to the virtual attack on the virtual explosive 314a, the third interface 230 is displayed.

The explosion effect of the virtual explosive 314a is displayed in the third interface 230. The third virtual object 316 is located within the explosion effective range of the virtual explosive 314a, and the third virtual object 316 receives virtual damage caused by the virtual explosive 314a, and its health value is reduced.

FIG3 shows a flow chart of a method for controlling a virtual object provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method can be executed by a computer device. The method includes:

Step 510: displaying a first virtual object and a second virtual object in a virtual environment; and in response to an attack operation on the second virtual object, displaying the first virtual object to perform a virtual attack on the second virtual object;

Exemplarily, the first virtual object is a virtual object controlled by a user account logged in by the terminal, and the virtual environment is used to provide virtual tactical competition between different virtual objects;

Exemplarily, displaying the first virtual object includes directly displaying the first virtual object, or displaying a perspective picture of the first virtual object; the perspective picture of the first virtual object is a scene picture obtained by observing the virtual environment from the perspective of the first virtual object. Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the virtual object is observed in the virtual environment through a camera model.

Exemplarily, the first virtual object and the second virtual object belong to different virtual camps; the virtual camp to which the second virtual object belongs and the virtual camp to which the first virtual object belongs may be in a hostile relationship or in a mutually neutral relationship, and this application does not limit this. In one implementation, the two camps are in a hostile relationship, and the second virtual object actively makes a virtual attack on the first virtual object. In another implementation, the two camps are in a neutral relationship, and the second virtual object will not actively make a virtual attack on the first virtual object. When attacked by the first virtual object, the second virtual object makes a virtual attack on the first virtual object.

Step 520: When the virtual attack causes the second virtual object to be eliminated, display virtual explosives falling around the second virtual object;

Exemplarily, in response to the second virtual object's health value being reduced to zero, the second virtual object is eliminated. Exemplarily, the second virtual object being eliminated is also referred to as the second virtual object being killed or the second virtual object being knocked down; the above expressions are all used to indicate that the second virtual object's health value is reduced to zero.

Exemplarily, the virtual explosive is around the second virtual object, but it does not mean that the second virtual object carries the virtual explosive, or the virtual explosive is a part of the second virtual object. In one implementation, the dropping of the virtual explosive is caused by the first virtual object launching a virtual attack, and has nothing to do with the second virtual object.

Specifically, in one implementation, in the virtual environment, other virtual objects initiate a virtual attack on the second virtual object. When the virtual attack causes the second virtual object to be eliminated, no virtual explosives will fall around the second virtual object.

Step 530: In response to the attack operation on the virtual explosive, display the explosion effect of the virtual explosive;

Exemplarily, the implementation of the attack operation on the virtual explosive includes but is not limited to at least one of the following: clicking, sliding, and rotating; for example: clicking a touch screen or a button, sliding a touch screen or a handle, and rotating a terminal or a handle. Exemplarily, the way the first virtual object performs a virtual attack includes but is not limited to: firing a virtual shooting prop, throwing a virtual throwing prop, swinging a virtual instrument, and releasing a virtual skill. This embodiment does not make any restrictive provisions on the specific implementation of the first virtual object performing a virtual attack on the second virtual object.

Similarly, the attack operation on the second virtual object may be implemented in a manner including but not limited to at least one of the following: clicking, sliding, and rotating.

Exemplarily, the virtual explosive is a virtual object that can produce an explosion effect; in one implementation, the virtual explosive can produce an explosion and cause virtual damage, and in another implementation, the virtual explosive can produce an explosion without causing virtual damage, and the explosion effect is displayed only through at least one of virtual smoke, virtual light, and virtual flash.

In summary, the method provided in this embodiment drops virtual explosives around the eliminated second virtual object and causes the virtual explosives to explode by attacking the virtual explosives; the virtual explosives are dropped by the eliminated second virtual object, thereby providing a new way to trigger the virtual explosives for the first virtual object; the time for switching virtual explosive props and waiting for the virtual explosive props to take effect is saved, thereby improving the efficiency of human-computer interaction.

FIG4 shows a flow chart of a method for controlling a virtual object provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method can be executed by a computer device. That is, in the embodiment shown in FIG3 , step 520 can be implemented as step 520a and step 520b:

Step 520a: In response to the virtual attack causing the second virtual object to be eliminated, triggering the virtual skill configured for the first virtual object;

Exemplarily, the first virtual object is configured with a virtual skill for dropping virtual explosives; in one example, when the first virtual object is configured with the above virtual skill, the virtual attack causes the second virtual object to be eliminated, and virtual explosives are displayed dropping around the second virtual object.

Furthermore, the virtual skills configured for the first virtual object may be acquired in the virtual environment, or may be pre-configured before entering the virtual environment; the virtual skills may be bound to the type of the first virtual object, such as the character name of the first virtual object corresponds to the virtual skills; or they may be unrelated to the type of the first virtual object; this application does not make any restrictive provisions on the above content.

Exemplarily, virtual skills are acquired in a player versus player environment (PVE), and virtual skills are acquired randomly when passing a virtual level.

FIG5 provides an interface diagram of a virtual scene provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. In the fourth interface 240, a first virtual object 312, a second virtual object 314, and a third virtual object 316 are displayed; specifically, the number of the third virtual objects is two. The first virtual object 312 holds a virtual shooting prop 312a; the first virtual object 312 uses a virtual crosshair 312b to aim at the second virtual object 314, and performs an attack operation to launch a virtual attack on the second virtual object 314.

Step 520b: In response to triggering the virtual skill, displaying a virtual explosive dropping around the second virtual object;

Optionally, in one implementation, triggering a virtual skill corresponds to displaying a virtual skill control updated to a triggered state; in another implementation, there is no virtual skill control on the user interface, and triggering a virtual skill corresponds to displaying a third virtual object entering a negative gain state.

Exemplarily, the virtual explosive moves in the virtual environment. In an optional implementation, the virtual explosive can produce an explosion and cause virtual damage, and the virtual explosive is used to cause damage to a virtual object in the virtual environment that belongs to the same virtual camp as the second virtual object. In another optional implementation, the virtual explosive can produce an explosion without causing virtual damage, and the virtual explosive is used to produce tactical effects in the virtual environment, such as: generating virtual smoke to block the line of sight, generating virtual flashes to produce dazzling light and huge virtual noise in a short period of time, and generating virtual light to guide virtual objects or virtual objects in the virtual environment.

In summary, the method provided in this embodiment configures a virtual skill for the first virtual object, thereby realizing the dropping of virtual explosives around the eliminated second virtual object, and causing the virtual explosives to explode by attacking the virtual explosives; based on the virtual skill of the first virtual object, the virtual explosives are dropped by eliminating the second virtual object, providing a new way to trigger the virtual explosives for the first virtual object; the time for switching virtual explosive props and waiting for the virtual explosive props to take effect is saved, the efficiency of human-computer interaction is improved, a new virtual skill is provided, and a new human-computer interaction method is provided.

Next, the moving direction of the virtual explosives is introduced.

FIG6 shows a flow chart of a method for controlling a virtual object provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method can be executed by a computer device. That is, based on the embodiment shown in FIG4 , it further includes step 520c:

Step 520c: determining the moving direction of the virtual explosive according to the position information of the third virtual object in the virtual environment;

Exemplarily, there is a third virtual object in the virtual environment, and the third virtual object and the second virtual object belong to the same virtual camp. The number of the third virtual object in the virtual environment can be one or more.

In an optional design, when the number of the third virtual object in the virtual environment is one, the moving direction of the virtual explosive is a direction from the position of the second virtual object to the position of the third virtual object.

In another optional design, when the number of the third virtual objects in the virtual environment is two, the moving direction of the virtual explosive is a direction from the position of the second virtual object to the midpoint of the line connecting the two third virtual objects.

It should be noted that the number of third virtual objects can be the number of third virtual objects in the entire virtual environment where the first virtual object is located, or the number of third virtual objects in a partial area of the virtual environment; for example, the number of third virtual objects in a circle centered on the position of the first virtual object or the second virtual object and with a preset length as the radius.

In summary, the method provided in this embodiment drops virtual explosives around the eliminated second virtual object and causes the virtual explosives to explode by attacking the virtual explosives; based on the virtual skill of the first virtual object, the virtual explosives are dropped by eliminating the second virtual object, providing a new way to trigger the virtual explosives for the first virtual object; saving the time of switching virtual explosive props and waiting for the virtual explosive props to take effect; determining the moving direction of the virtual explosive in the virtual environment, avoiding manual selection of the moving direction of the virtual explosive; improving the efficiency of human-computer interaction, providing new virtual skills, and providing a new human-computer interaction method.

FIG7 shows a flow chart of a method for controlling a virtual object provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method can be executed by a computer device. That is, in the embodiment shown in FIG6 , step 520c can be implemented as step 522 and step 524:

Step 522: In a closed shape surrounded by at least three third virtual objects, when the density of the third virtual objects exceeds a density threshold, the moving direction of the virtual explosive points to the geometric center of gravity of the closed shape;

This embodiment introduces a situation where there are at least three third virtual objects in the virtual environment.

Exemplarily, the closed shape formed by at least three third virtual objects is a closed shape formed with at least three third virtual objects as vertices; all vertices of the closed shape correspond to positions of the third virtual objects.

Exemplarily, the geometric center of gravity of a closed shape is used to indicate the center of gravity of mass of a homogeneous object when the closed shape is regarded as a homogeneous object.

Furthermore, there may be one or more third virtual objects located on the edge of the closed shape and/or inside the closed shape. Four third virtual objects are used as an example for introduction:

In the figure, the positional relationship of four third virtual objects in the virtual environment is shown through the first interface 610a, the second interface 610b, and the third interface 610c; wherein the four third virtual objects include: virtual object A 611a, virtual object B 611b, virtual object C 611c, and virtual object D 611d.

In the first interface 610 a , four third virtual objects form a quadrilateral 621 , and the four vertex positions of the quadrilateral 621 are the positions of the four third virtual objects.

In the second interface 610 b , four third virtual objects form a first triangle 622 , the three vertices of which are virtual object A 611 a , virtual object B 611 b , and virtual object C 611 c ; and the virtual object D 611 d is located on one side of the first triangle 622 .

In the third interface 610 c , four third virtual objects form a second triangle 623 , the three vertices of which are virtual object A 611 a , virtual object B 611 b , and virtual object C 611 c ; the virtual object D 611 d is located inside the second triangle 623 .

In an optional implementation, when there are at least three third virtual objects in the virtual environment and all the third virtual objects are located in a straight line, the moving direction of the virtual explosive points to the midpoint of the line connecting the positions of any two third virtual objects. Further, the moving direction of the virtual explosive points to the midpoint of the line connecting the positions of the two third virtual objects with the shortest distance.

Step 524: In the closed shape, when the density of the third virtual object does not exceed the density threshold, the moving direction of the virtual explosive points to the midpoint of the line connecting the positions of any two third virtual objects;

Exemplarily, in a closed shape, when the density of the third virtual objects does not exceed the density threshold, the distribution of the third virtual objects in the virtual environment is sparse, and the moving direction of the virtual explosive is determined to point to the midpoint of the line connecting the positions of any two third virtual objects, so as to tend to make the explosion effect of the virtual explosive cover the two third virtual objects to ensure that the effect of the virtual explosive is triggered.

Similarly, in a closed shape, when the density of the third virtual objects does not exceed the density threshold, the distribution of the third virtual objects in the virtual environment is clustered, and the moving direction of the virtual explosive is determined to point to the geometric center of gravity of the closed shape, tending to make the explosion effect of the virtual explosive cover at least three clustered third virtual objects, thereby improving the effect of triggering the virtual explosive.

It should be noted that step 522 and step 524 in this embodiment can be split to form new embodiments respectively, and this embodiment does not impose any limitation on this.

In summary, the method provided in this embodiment determines the moving direction of the virtual explosive according to the density of the third virtual objects in a closed shape surrounded by at least three third virtual objects; determines the moving direction of the virtual explosive according to the position distribution of the third virtual objects in the virtual environment, and avoids manual selection of the moving direction of the virtual explosive; improves the efficiency of human-computer interaction, provides new virtual skills, and provides a new human-computer interaction method.

FIG9 shows a flow chart of a method for controlling a virtual object provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method can be executed by a computer device. That is, in the embodiment shown in FIG7 , step 522 can be implemented as step 522a, step 522b, step 522c, and step 522d; step 524 can be implemented as step 524a:

Step 522a: Determine a first closed shape in the virtual environment;

Exemplarily, the first closed shape is formed with at least three third virtual objects as vertices; the first closed shape includes a third virtual objects; and the a third virtual objects may be part or all of the third virtual objects in the virtual environment.

Exemplarily, the vertices of the first closed shape correspond to the positions of the third virtual objects. There may be one or more third virtual objects located on the edge of the closed shape and/or inside the closed shape.

Step 522b: when the density of the third virtual object in the first closed shape exceeds the density threshold, determine that the moving direction of the virtual explosive is directed to the geometric center of gravity of the first closed shape;

Exemplarily, there is a second closed shape in the first closed shape, and there are at least two second closed shapes in the first closed shape. In the virtual environment, the number of first closed shapes is less than the number of second closed shapes. In the case where the density of the third virtual object in the first closed shape exceeds the density threshold, the third virtual object is densely distributed in the range indicated by the first closed shape, avoiding further determination of the second closed shape. And the number of the first closed shape is less than the number of the second closed shape, which reduces the computational complexity of determining the moving direction of the virtual explosive.

Step 522c: if the density of the third virtual object in the first closed shape does not exceed the density threshold, determine a second closed shape in the first closed shape;

In the virtual environment, the first closed shape is a closed shape including a third virtual objects, and the second closed shape is a closed shape including b third virtual objects, where a is greater than b; and both a and b are integers greater than 2. The second closed shape is surrounded by at least three third virtual objects as vertices, and the second closed shape includes b third virtual objects.

Step 522d: when the density of the third virtual object in the second closed shape exceeds the density threshold, determine that the moving direction of the virtual explosive is directed to the geometric center of gravity of the second closed shape;

Optionally, for multiple second closed shapes in the first closed shape, after determining the multiple second closed shapes, if there are multiple second closed shapes in which the density of third virtual objects exceeds a density threshold, the moving direction of the virtual explosive points to the geometric center of gravity of the second closed shape with the smallest area; to ensure that the moving direction of the virtual explosive points to the second closed shape with the highest density of third virtual objects.

Step 524a: when the density of the third virtual objects in the second closed shape does not exceed the density threshold, determine that the moving direction of the virtual explosive points to the midpoint of the line connecting the positions of any two third virtual objects in the second closed shape;

Exemplarily, the third virtual objects are sparsely distributed in the second closed shape, and the moving direction of the virtual explosive is determined to point to the midpoint of the line connecting the positions of any two third virtual objects, so that the explosion effect of the virtual explosive tends to cover the two third virtual objects to ensure that the effect of the virtual explosive is triggered.

Optionally, the moving direction of the virtual explosive points to the midpoint of a line connecting the positions of two third virtual objects with the shortest distance.

It should be noted that steps 522a to 522d in this embodiment can be split to form a new embodiment without step 524a and implemented separately, or step 524a can be split to form a new embodiment with step 510, step 520a, step 520b, and step 530 and implemented separately; this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

In summary, the method provided in this embodiment determines the moving direction of the virtual explosive according to the density of the third virtual objects in a closed shape surrounded by at least three third virtual objects; determines the moving direction of the virtual explosive according to the position distribution of the third virtual objects in the virtual environment, avoids manual selection of the moving direction of the virtual explosive, and improves the efficiency of human-computer interaction; and directly constructs a tree structure for different closed shapes by sequentially determining the first closed shape and the second closed shape, avoids traversal calculation of all closed shapes, and reduces the complexity of calculation.

Fig. 10 provides an interface diagram of a virtual scene provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The fourth interface 630 shows that there are five third virtual objects in the virtual environment: virtual object A 631a, virtual object B 631b, virtual object C 631c, virtual object D 631d and virtual object E 631e.

In the virtual environment, there is only one closed shape including five third virtual objects, that is, the closed shape A 632 includes five third virtual objects.

If the density of the third virtual objects in the closed shape A 632 exceeds the density threshold, the moving direction of the virtual explosive is determined to point to the geometric center of gravity of the closed shape A 632. In this case, there is no need to further judge the closed shape including four third virtual objects and the closed shape including three third virtual objects. The moving direction of the virtual explosive is determined only by determining the closed shape A 632, thereby reducing the computational complexity of determining the moving direction of the virtual explosive.

If the density of the third virtual objects in the closed shape A 632 does not exceed the density threshold, a closed shape including four third virtual objects is determined in the closed shape A 632, such as the closed shape B 633; it can be understood that there are more closed shapes including four third virtual objects in the closed shape A 632. In order to ensure the clarity of the description in the figure, only the closed shape B 633 is shown.

If the density of the third virtual object in the closed shape B 633 exceeds the density threshold, the moving direction of the virtual explosive is determined to point to the geometric center of gravity of the closed shape B 633; in this case, there is no need to further judge the four closed shapes including the three third virtual objects, thereby reducing the calculation complexity of determining the moving direction of the virtual explosive.

It should be noted that the technical solution provided in this embodiment creates a tree structure for closed shapes of different numbers in the virtual environment. Starting from the upper branches with a small number in the tree structure, it is judged whether the density of the third virtual object exceeds the density threshold, thereby avoiding traversal and searching of all closed shapes, and finding the closed shape with the largest local density, thereby reducing the computational complexity of determining the moving direction of the virtual explosive.

FIG11 shows a flow chart of a method for controlling a virtual object provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method can be executed by a computer device. That is, in the embodiment shown in FIG9 , step 524a can be implemented as step 524b:

Step 524b: when the density of the third virtual objects in the second closed shape does not exceed the density threshold, determine that the moving direction of the virtual explosive points to the midpoint of the line connecting the positions of the two third virtual objects with the shortest distance;

Exemplarily, when the density of the third virtual objects in the first closed shape does not exceed the sparse threshold, the second closed shape includes a group of adjacent virtual objects, where the group of adjacent virtual objects is two third virtual objects with the shortest distance in the virtual environment.

Exemplarily, the sparse threshold is less than the density threshold; the density of the third virtual object in the first closed shape does not exceed the sparse threshold, which indicates that the positional relationship of the third virtual object in the virtual environment is highly discrete. Since the second closed shape includes a group of adjacent virtual objects, when the third virtual object is highly discrete, the second closed shape including the group of adjacent virtual objects has a higher density than the closed shape not including the group of virtual objects; the closed shape not including the group of virtual objects is excluded, and closed collisions that do not exceed the density threshold are screened out in advance, thereby reducing the complexity of the calculation.

In summary, the method provided in this embodiment determines the moving direction of the virtual explosive according to the density of the third virtual objects in a closed shape surrounded by at least three third virtual objects; determines the moving direction of the virtual explosive according to the position distribution of the third virtual objects in the virtual environment, avoids manual selection of the moving direction of the virtual explosive, and improves the efficiency of human-computer interaction; by determining that the second closed shape includes a group of adjacent virtual objects, a tree structure is directly constructed for different closed shapes, and closed collisions that do not exceed the density threshold are screened and excluded in advance, thereby reducing the complexity of the calculation.

FIG12 shows a flowchart of a method for controlling a virtual object provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method can be executed by a computer device. That is, based on the embodiment shown in FIG4 , it also includes step 520d and step 520e:

Step 520d: when the first virtual object holds a virtual attack prop of a continuous firing type, determining that the moving trajectory of the virtual explosive has a height change;

For example, a virtual attack prop of the continuous firing type is a prop that can achieve multiple virtual attacks through a single trigger operation, or a prop that can achieve multiple virtual attacks while maintaining an attack state, such as a virtual gun, a virtual automatic rifle, and a virtual submachine gun.

For example, when the moving trajectory of the virtual explosive changes greatly, the movement of the virtual explosive expands from a two-dimensional plane to a three-dimensional space, and the moving trajectory of the virtual explosive is highly complex. Since the number of attacks per unit time of a virtual attack prop of the continuous firing type is greater than that of a virtual attack prop of the non-continuous firing type; by increasing the complexity of the moving trajectory of the virtual explosive, the difficulty of hitting the virtual explosive is balanced.

Step 520e: when the first virtual object holds a virtual attack prop of a non-continuous firing type, determining that there is no height change in the moving trajectory of the virtual explosive;

For example, a non-continuous firing type virtual attack prop is a prop that realizes a virtual attack through a single trigger operation, or a prop that realizes a single virtual attack while maintaining an attack state, such as a virtual bolt-action rifle, a virtual pistol, and a virtual bow and arrow.

For example, when there is no height change in the moving trajectory of the virtual explosive, the movement of the virtual explosive is limited to a two-dimensional plane, and the complexity of the moving trajectory of the virtual explosive is low. Since the number of attacks per unit time of a non-continuously fired virtual attack prop is less than that of a continuously fired virtual attack prop; by reducing the complexity of the moving trajectory of the virtual explosive, the difficulty of hitting the virtual explosive is balanced.

It should be noted that step 520d and step 520e in this embodiment can be split to form new embodiments respectively, and this embodiment does not impose any limitation on this.

In summary, the method provided in this embodiment drops virtual explosives around the eliminated second virtual object and causes the virtual explosives to explode by attacking the virtual explosives; the virtual explosives dropped by the eliminated second virtual object provide a new way to trigger the virtual explosives for the first virtual object; and a new human-computer interaction method is provided for virtual attacks on virtual explosives by linking the movement trajectory of the virtual explosives with the virtual attack props held by the first virtual object.

FIG13 shows a flowchart of a method for controlling a virtual object provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method can be executed by a computer device. That is, based on the embodiment shown in FIG3 , it also includes step 542:

Step 542: when there is a third virtual object within the explosion effective range of the virtual explosive, displaying a negative gain effect added to the third virtual object;

In this embodiment, the virtual explosive is used to add a negative gain effect to the third virtual object; the third virtual object and the second virtual object belong to the same virtual camp. Further, the explosion effective range of the virtual explosive is usually a closed geometric figure. In an optional implementation, the explosion effective range is determined in the virtual environment by respectively determining at least one of the direction, shape ratio and area of the explosion effective range.

Exemplarily, the types of negative gain effects include, but are not limited to, at least one of reducing health points, reducing movement speed, reducing attack power, reducing attack speed, and blocking vision.

In an optional design of this embodiment, as shown in FIG14 , step 540 is further included:

Step 540: Determine the type of the negative gain effect according to the type of the second virtual object;

Exemplarily, the type of the second virtual object corresponds to the type of negative gain effect. Optionally, in the case where the first virtual object initiates a virtual attack on the second virtual object, the type of negative gain effect is determined. Specifically, since the damage value caused by the first virtual object needs to be calculated when the first virtual object initiates a virtual attack on the second virtual object, and the movement amplitude of the second virtual object is small, when the movement of the second virtual object is realized through skeletal animation, the amount of computing resources required to display the virtual environment is low. Determining the type of negative gain effect makes full use of idle computing resources.

When the second virtual object is eliminated, it is necessary to display the second virtual object falling to the ground, and to display the scene of the second virtual object dissolving and disappearing after falling; at the same time, it is also necessary to display the falling animation of the virtual explosive and the movement of the virtual explosive; the number of virtual objects that need to be displayed increases, and the movement amplitude is large; the corresponding amount of computing resources that need to be used is high; by avoiding determining the type of negative gain effect when the second virtual object is eliminated, the concentrated use of computing resources is avoided, and the problem of picture inconsistency or frame rate reduction caused by computing resources is avoided.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, step 540 may be executed at any time between step 510 and step 542 , and this embodiment does not impose any restrictive provisions on the execution order of step 540 .

Further, in an optional design, step 540 may be implemented as the following steps:

Determining candidate effect types according to the type of the second virtual object, the candidate effect types including a first type and a second type;

In the case where a virtual attack is performed on a virtual explosive object during a time period between the first time stamp and the second time stamp, determining the type of the negative gain effect as a first type;

In the case where a virtual attack is performed on the virtual explosive after the second time stamp, the type of the negative gain effect is determined to be the second type.

Exemplarily, the type of the second virtual object corresponds to multiple candidate effect types, and virtual attacks on virtual explosives at different time stamps correspond to different types of negative gain effects, which expands the selection method of negative gain effects. In one example, the virtual explosives indicate different types of negative gain effects by changing colors, providing a new human-computer interaction method for adding negative gain effects to the third virtual object.

It should be noted that this embodiment only shows a scenario in which the candidate effect types include two types; in an optional design, the candidate effect types may include more types, and this embodiment does not impose any limitation on this.

In summary, the method provided in this embodiment drops virtual explosives around the eliminated second virtual object and causes the virtual explosives to explode by attacking the virtual explosives; the virtual explosives are dropped by the eliminated second virtual object, providing a new way to trigger the virtual explosives for the first virtual object; and a new human-computer interaction method is provided for virtual attacks on virtual explosives by linking the type of the second virtual object with the type of negative gain effect.

FIG15 shows a flow chart of a method for controlling a virtual object provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method may be executed by a computer device. The method includes:

Step 702: Enter a virtual level;

The virtual level corresponds to a virtual environment, and the user account logged in by the terminal controls a virtual character in the virtual environment. In an optional implementation, the virtual character is also called any one of a first virtual object, a virtual hero, a virtual warrior, and a master virtual character.

There are also virtual monsters in the virtual environment. In an optional implementation, the virtual monsters are also called any one of virtual wild monsters, virtual nano monsters, and second virtual objects.

Exemplarily, the virtual level is a player-versus-environment level, the virtual characters and virtual monsters belong to different virtual camps, and the virtual camp to which the virtual characters belong and the virtual camp to which the virtual monsters belong are in a hostile or neutral relationship. For a detailed introduction, please refer to the content of step 510 above, which will not be repeated in this embodiment.

Step 704: Displaying a virtual skill list;

In response to the user account logged in by the terminal entering the target level, a candidate skill selection list is displayed.

Figure 16 shows an interface diagram of a virtual skill list provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application; three virtual skills are displayed in the virtual skill list 720, including virtual skill A 721, virtual skill B 722, and virtual skill C 723; the virtual skill list 720 displays a prompt text "Select virtual skill"; by clicking the icon corresponding to the virtual skill, the target virtual skill is selected.

Step 706: Select a target virtual skill;

Exemplarily, by clicking on the virtual skill list, a target virtual skill is selected from a plurality of virtual skills shown in the virtual skill list.

Step 708: attacking the virtual monster, causing the virtual monster to die;

The virtual character controlled by the user account logged in by the terminal performs a virtual attack on the virtual monster; the virtual monster is a non-player character (NPC).

Exemplarily, the virtual character carries one or more virtual pets; the virtual pet is obtained by transforming the virtual monster after the virtual monster dies, or can be called the virtual pet obtained by transforming the virtual monster after the virtual monster is eliminated.

In an optional implementation, the virtual pet is also referred to as any one of a virtual summon and a pet virtual character. Further optionally, the virtual pet has a first form and a second form. When the virtual pet is in the first form, the virtual pet is attached to the virtual character, such as attached to the arm of the virtual character, which is also called an arm form. When the virtual pet is in the second form, the virtual pet is separated from the virtual character, and the virtual pet is on the ground in the virtual environment, which is also called a ground form.

Step 710: Dropping explosives;

After the virtual monster dies, it drops an explosive, which slowly rises up.

Step 712: Shooting explosives;

The avatar shoots at the explosives.

Step 714: generating an explosion effect after hitting the explosive object;

After the virtual character hits the explosive, the explosive explodes and causes area damage.

In summary, the method provided in this embodiment drops virtual explosives around the eliminated second virtual object and causes the virtual explosives to explode by attacking the virtual explosives; the virtual explosives are dropped by the eliminated second virtual object, thereby providing a new way to trigger the virtual explosives for the first virtual object; the time for switching virtual explosive props and waiting for the virtual explosive props to take effect is saved, thereby improving the efficiency of human-computer interaction.
