  • Patent number: 11951395
    Abstract: This application relates to a method for displaying a marker element in a virtual scene performed at a terminal. The method includes: receiving a marking request from a user of the terminal, wherein the user controls a current virtual object rendered in a display interface of the virtual scene; in response to the marking request, determining a target virtual item in the display interface of the virtual scene; obtaining graphic data of a marker element when a distance between the target virtual item and the current virtual object in the virtual scene is within a predefined distance, the marker element being a graphic element used for indicating a location of the target virtual item in the virtual scene; and rendering the marker element according to the graphic data at a designated location adjacent the target virtual item in the display interface of the virtual scene.

  • Publication number: 20230364519
    Abstract: This application discloses a virtual item movement control method performed at a computing device. The computing device displays a target virtual item to descend in a virtual scene. After determining an initial movement track of the target virtual item according to a first display position and a first speed of the target virtual item, the computing device updates, in real time, the initial movement track of the target virtual item according to at least one of a randomly-determined environmental condition of the virtual scene and a health value of the target virtual item to obtain a target movement track and then controls the target virtual item to move according to the target movement track until after the target virtual item arrives at a stationary position in the virtual scene.

  • Patent number: 11752439
    Abstract: This application discloses a virtual item movement control method performed at a terminal. The terminal displays a target virtual item in a virtual scene, the target virtual item including a flying virtual item and a carrier virtual item. After determining a target movement track of the target virtual item according to a first display position and a first speed of the target virtual item and at least one of an environmental condition or a health value of the flying virtual item, the terminal controls the target virtual item to move according to the target movement track. After the carrier virtual item is in a landed state, the terminal determines a second target movement track of the carrier virtual item according to a second display position and a second speed, and then controls the carrier virtual item to move in the virtual scene according to the second target movement track.

  • Patent number: 11325036
    Abstract: An interface display update method is performed by an electronic device, including: displaying a virtual item currently controlled by a virtual object in a virtual scene; detecting a perspective rotation operation associated with the virtual object; obtaining a target rotation angle, a first rotation speed of a perspective of the virtual object, and a second rotation speed of the virtual item according to the perspective rotation operation, the second rotation speed being less than the first rotation speed; and updating the virtual scene, based on the target rotation angle, the first rotation speed of the perspective of the virtual object, and the second rotation speed of the virtual item, using a target animation in which the virtual scene changes in accordance with the perspective rotation operation, the target animation visualizing an effect that rotation of the virtual item lags behind rotation of the perspective of the virtual object.

  • Patent number: 11224815
    Abstract: This application discloses a method for obtaining a damage value of an attack item in a virtual environment performed at a computer device, and this application belongs to the computer field. The method includes: determining that an attack item shot by a virtual object hits a target object in the virtual environment; obtaining attenuation parameters of at least two media through which the attack item passes in a flight process before hitting the target object; calculating a damage value of the attack item to the target object according to the attenuation parameters of the at least two media after the attack item passes through the at least two media; and deducting a hit point value or an endurance value of the target object according to the damage value.

  • Publication number: 20200376381
    Abstract: A posture adjustment method includes: obtaining a first operation through a client, determining a second action in response to the first operation, and playing a target picture in the client. The first operation is used for indicating that a first object performs a first action, the first object is an object in a virtual scene displayed by the client, and a first part of the first object holds a target item being used for launching an attack in the virtual scene. The second action is used for driving, by a second part of the first object, the first part to adjust a holding posture to the target item to automatically achieve a relatively proper and accurate posture of using the target item. The target picture being used for displaying that the first object performs the first action and the second part of the first object performs the second action.
