Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of methods consistent with aspects of the present application, as detailed in the appended claims.

Before describing the embodiments of the present application, the related terms referred to in the present application will be explained.

1. Virtual object

The virtual object refers to a virtual role controlled by the user account in the application program. Taking an application as a game application as an example, the virtual object refers to a game character controlled by a user account in the game application. The virtual object may be in the form of a character, an animal, a cartoon or other forms, which is not limited in this application. The virtual object may be displayed in a three-dimensional form or a two-dimensional form, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

The operations that a user account can perform to control a virtual object may also vary from game application to game application. For example, in a shooting-type game application, the user account may control the virtual object to perform shooting, running, jumping, picking up a firearm, replacing a firearm, adding bullets to a firearm, and the like.

Of course, in addition to game applications, other types of applications may present virtual objects to a user and provide corresponding functionality to the virtual objects. For example, an AR (Augmented Reality) application, a social application, an interactive entertainment application, and the like, which are not limited in this embodiment. In addition, for different applications, the forms of the virtual objects provided by the applications may also be different, and the corresponding functions may also be different, which may be configured in advance according to actual requirements, and this is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

2. Virtual environment

A virtual environment is a scene displayed (or provided) by a client of an application program (e.g., a game application program) when the client runs on a terminal, and the virtual environment refers to a scene created for a virtual object to perform an activity (e.g., a game competition), such as a virtual house, a virtual island, a virtual map, and the like. The virtual environment may be a simulation environment of a real world, a semi-simulation semi-fictional environment, or a pure fictional environment. The virtual environment may be a two-dimensional virtual environment, a 2.5-dimensional virtual environment, or a three-dimensional virtual environment, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

3. Virtual prop

Virtual items refer to items that an application (e.g., a game application) provides to a user for use, such as virtual weapons, virtual reply items, virtual vehicles, and so forth.

4. Virtual firearm

The virtual firearm is a virtual weapon provided by a shooting game application and can simulate a virtual object shot by a real firearm. The virtual firearm may be a three-dimensional model of a real firearm, and the virtual object is capable of carrying the virtual firearm and controlling the virtual firearm to shoot at a target.

The virtual firearm may include a variety of different firearm categories such as rifles, submachine guns, machine guns, shotguns, handguns, and the like. The gun category can be divided according to actual requirements, for example, the rifle can be further divided into different categories such as assault rifle and sniper rifle, and the machine gun can be further divided into different categories such as light machine gun and heavy machine gun.

5. Recoil of the hip

Recoil force refers to recoil force generated when the cartridge or shell of the virtual firearm is fired. In the continuous shooting of the bullets, a certain reaction force is generated due to the power of the gun, and the reaction force is called recoil force, so that the gun is unstable and is eccentrically deviated.

The recoil of the virtual firearm is one of the key factors for determining whether the operation in the shooting game is convenient and accurate, and under the action of the recoil, the muzzle can deviate, so that the bullet can irregularly deviate upwards when firing, and the bullet cannot accurately hit a target.

6. Press gun

A core operating skill in a shooting game means that a player can rotate a visual angle to counteract the recoil of a weapon, so that the effect of ballistic recoilless is achieved, and the vicinity of a target is accurately hit. The skill ability to make a bullet hit a target accurately becomes the most core of a shooting game, and is called as 'gun pressing' skill.

Gun pressure is the most basic and most core skill in shooting games, and means that a player inputs a rotating visual angle through a command to counteract visual angle and trajectory deviation caused by recoil of a weapon, so that a bullet can hit a given target area like 'no recoil'.

7. Restoring force

One ballistic mechanism introduced is the reaction force of recoil, which acts to return the muzzle to the offset forward position.

Referring to fig. 1, a schematic diagram of an application execution environment according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. The application execution environment may include: a terminal 10 and a server 20.

The terminal 10 may be an electronic device such as a mobile phone, a tablet Computer, a game console, a multimedia playing device, a wearable device, a PC (Personal Computer), a handheld portable game device, and the like. A client of the application may be installed in the terminal 10.

In the embodiment of the present application, the application may be any application that can provide a virtual environment for a virtual object substituted and operated by a user to perform an activity in the virtual environment. Typically, the application is a Game application, such as a Third-Person shooter Game (TPS), a First-Person shooter Game (FPS), a Multiplayer Online tactical sports (MOBA) Game, a big-fleeting survival (BR) Game, a Multiplayer gunfight type survival Game, and so on. Of course, in addition to game applications, other types of applications may present virtual objects to a user and provide corresponding functionality to the virtual objects. For example, a Virtual Reality (VR) application, an Augmented Reality (AR) application, a three-dimensional map program, a social interaction application, an interactive entertainment application, and the like, which are not limited in this embodiment of the present application. In addition, for different applications, the forms of the virtual objects provided by the applications may also be different, and the corresponding functions may also be different, which may be configured in advance according to actual requirements, and this is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. Optionally, a client of the above application program runs in the terminal 10. In some embodiments, the application is an application developed based on a three-dimensional virtual environment engine, for example, the virtual environment engine is a Unity engine, and the virtual environment engine can construct a three-dimensional virtual environment, a virtual object, a virtual prop, and the like, so as to bring a more immersive game experience to the user.

The server 20 is used to provide background services for clients of applications in the terminal 10. For example, the server 20 may be a backend server for the application described above. The server 20 may be a server, a server cluster composed of a plurality of servers, or a cloud computing service center. Optionally, the server 20 provides background services for applications in multiple terminals 10 simultaneously.

Alternatively, the terminal 10 and the server 20 may communicate with each other through the network 30.

Please refer to fig. 2, which shows a flowchart of a method for controlling a virtual item according to an embodiment of the present application. The method is applicable to a terminal, and the execution subject of each step may be the terminal 10 (hereinafter, simply referred to as "client") in the application execution environment shown in fig. 1. The method comprises the following steps (210-230):

step 210, receiving a shooting instruction for the virtual shooting prop.

And the user generates a shooting instruction aiming at the virtual shooting prop by performing touch control operations such as clicking, long-time pressing and the like on the shooting control. And responding to the touch operation aiming at the shooting control, and generating a shooting instruction aiming at the virtual shooting prop. The shooting instruction is used for indicating the virtual prop to execute the shooting operation.

The virtual shooting prop comprises the virtual firearm. Optionally, the virtual shooting prop is a virtual shooting prop being used by a virtual object.

After receiving the shooting instruction to virtual shooting stage property, still include:

and acquiring the input state of the user. The user input state includes a touch position. Alternatively, the touch position may be an operation input position at the current time, or may be an operation input position at the previous time.

And acquiring the state of the virtual object. Physical state of the virtual object, operational state of the virtual object. The physical state of the virtual object includes physical states of running, jumping, squatting, etc., and the operational state of the virtual object includes operational states of holding a mirror, firing, aiming, etc. The physical state and the operation state of the virtual object are both states controlled by the user through touch operation, for example, certain keys are triggered. For data indexes describing the physical state and the operation state of the virtual object, records are saved during the application process and are very easy to obtain when the application is needed, such as a centering position, a shooting time and a hitting position.

And step 220, controlling the virtual shooting prop to execute the shooting operation.

The above-described shooting operation is an operation of shooting a given target. The center of gravity position, the time of shooting, and the location of the hit were recorded for this shooting operation.

When the shooting operation is executed, recoil is generated, the centering position is deviated, and the hitting position is scattered under the condition of no pressure gun operation. The offset generated by the recoil force can be decomposed in the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction, and accordingly, the recoil force comprises the transverse recoil force and the longitudinal recoil force. Optionally, the magnitude of the longitudinal recoil is more than 5 times the magnitude of the lateral recoil. Optionally, the longitudinal recoil produced by each firing is represented by RecoilUp and the transverse recoil produced by each firing is represented by RecoilLateral. Optionally, the offset effect of squat force is characterized by a squat offset vector.

In one example, as shown in FIG. 3, a diagram illustrating a distribution of hit locations is illustrated. Fig. 3 is a schematic view of a shot position distribution obtained by shooting with pure recoil without a gun-pressing operation by a user. The bullet hitting position can be indicated by the bullet hole 31. Distribution of the charge holes 31 on the background wall 32 as shown in fig. 3, it can be seen that the distribution of the charge holes 31 is very random, and particularly, the mean square error of the distribution of the charge holes 31 is very large in the vertical direction.

In another example, as shown in FIG. 4, another schematic view of a hit location distribution is illustrated. Fig. 4 is a schematic view of shot positions obtained by controlling recoil to shoot by a user through operation of pulling down a lens. The distribution of the charge holes 31 is more concentrated.

And step 230, after the shooting operation is executed, if the quasi-center manual control operation aiming at the virtual shooting prop is received, canceling the automatic restoring force applied to the virtual shooting prop, and controlling the quasi-center position of the virtual shooting prop according to the quasi-center manual control operation.

The centering manual control operation refers to an operation in which a user manually controls the centering position to eliminate the deviation due to the recoil, and is easily understood as a gun-pressing operation. Optionally, the concentric manual control operation comprises adjusting a viewing angle. Alternatively, the centered manual control operation may be implemented by performing a touch operation on a screen, or may be implemented by moving a control device, such as a mouse, a remote control, a handle, or the like.

The automatic restoring force is a force for automatically adjusting the position of the center of sight of the virtual shooting prop after the shooting operation is performed. Optionally, an automatic restoring force acts on the muzzle, pulling the quasi-centric position of the virtual shooting prop back to the quasi-centric position when shooting. The automatic restoring force can be decomposed into a longitudinal automatic restoring force and a lateral automatic restoring force.

The longitudinal automatic restoring force is used for adjusting the centering position of the virtual shooting prop in the longitudinal direction. The transverse automatic restoring force is used for adjusting the centering position of the virtual shooting prop in the transverse direction.

The cancellation of the application of the automatic restoring force to the virtual shooting prop means that the automatic restoring force no longer acts on the virtual shooting prop and no longer adjusts the true-to-heart position of the virtual shooting prop upon receipt of a true-to-heart manual control operation directed to the virtual shooting prop.

The canceling of the application of the automatic restoring force to the virtual shooting prop includes: and longitudinal automatic restoring force applied to the virtual shooting prop is cancelled, and transverse automatic restoring force applied to the virtual shooting prop is cancelled.

Optionally, the isocenter position of the virtual shooting prop is controlled based on pre-shooting isocenter position, recoil, and isocenter manual control operations.

Optionally, the location of the hit of the virtual shooting prop is controlled based on the pre-shooting isocenter position, recoil, and isocenter manual control operations.

In an exemplary embodiment, the method for controlling the virtual item further includes:

and step 240, after the shooting operation is executed, if the centering manual control operation is not received, applying automatic restoring force to the virtual shooting prop, and controlling the centering position of the virtual shooting prop according to the automatic restoring force.

Under the condition that the quasi-centering manual control operation condition aiming at the virtual shooting prop is not received, automatic restoring force is applied to the virtual shooting prop, and the quasi-centering position of the virtual shooting prop is adjusted by acting on the virtual shooting prop through the automatic restoring force. Optionally, the isocenter position of the virtual shooting prop is controlled based on the pre-shooting isocenter position, recoil, and automatic return force.

Optionally, the hit position of the virtual shooting prop is controlled based on the pre-shooting isocenter position, the recoil force, and the automatic restoring force.

The automatic restoring force forces the weapon to return to the equilibrium position for pulling the muzzle, which is deflected by the recoil, back to the original equilibrium position, i.e. the muzzle of the weapon deflects in a certain direction when firing, and the restoring force is to pull the weapon back to the equilibrium position with zero deflection.

The longitudinal automatic restoring force may be expressed as punchanglexdecreasured and the longitudinal automatic restoring force may be expressed as punchangleydeecreasured, which have a unit of degrees/second, which means a restored offset angle per second, acting on the displacement in the longitudinal or transverse direction, respectively. Optionally, the effect of the position offset recovery by the automatic recovery force is characterized by a recovery force vector. Alternatively, the magnitude of the restoring force vector is determined by programming preconfigured punchlonglexdecreasesespesped and punchlongleydeecrasesped. Optionally, different virtual shooting props are configured with different values of longitudinal and transverse automatic return forces. Alternatively, in the case where an automatic restoring force acts on the virtual shooting prop (i.e., is being in a restoring state), the action of the automatic restoring force on the virtual shooting prop is stopped in response to a shooting operation or a wide-range sliding operation by the user.

To sum up, the technical scheme that this application embodiment provided, through the interrupt mechanism who sets up an automatic restoring force, detect the operation back of user manual control accurate heart position after the shooting operation, just stop through automatic restoring force adjustment accurate heart position, change into through user manual control accurate heart position, promote the efficiency and the accuracy of user operation, can adapt to multiple user operation custom, accurate discernment user intention.

Please refer to fig. 5, which shows a flowchart of a method for controlling a virtual prop according to another embodiment of the present application. The method is applicable to a terminal, and the execution subject of each step may be the terminal 10 (hereinafter, simply referred to as "client") in the application execution environment shown in fig. 1. The method comprises the following steps (501-508):

step 501, receiving a shooting instruction for a virtual shooting prop.

And 502, controlling the virtual shooting prop to execute a shooting operation.

In step 503, after the shooting operation is performed, if the sliding touch operation is received, the touch position of the sliding touch operation at the first time and the touch position at the second time are acquired.

The sliding touch operation may be embodied as a user adjusting a viewing angle in a certain direction. For example, the user performs a lateral sliding operation on the screen to achieve adjustment of the viewing angle in the lateral direction (or horizontal direction), thereby controlling lateral movement of the collimation position of the virtual shooting prop.

Optionally, the sliding touch operation includes a lateral sliding, a longitudinal sliding, and a diagonal sliding. The oblique sliding includes upward left sliding, downward left sliding, upward right sliding, and downward right sliding.

Alternatively, the diagonal sliding may be decomposed into a lateral sliding or a diagonal sliding.

The first time and the second time are different times and reflect the time sequence of the first time and the second time. Optionally, the first time is a current time, and the second time is a historical time. Optionally, the first time is a time corresponding to a current game animation frame (hereinafter referred to as a current frame), and the second time is a time corresponding to a frame preceding the current frame in time sequence.

The touch position refers to a touch position of the user on the screen.

And step 504, determining a displacement vector generated between the first time and the second time by the sliding touch operation according to the touch position at the first time and the touch position at the second time.

The touch position at the first time has the coordinate of (x)₀，y₀) The coordinate of the touch position at the second time is (x)₁，y₁). Optionally, the coordinates of the touch position at the first time and the coordinates of the touch position at the second time are coordinates in the same coordinate system, and taking a game scene as an example, the coordinate system may be a coordinate system constructed with a lower left corner of the screen as an origin.

In this case, the displacement vector generated between the first time and the second time is [ (x)₀，y₀)-(x₁，y₁)]。

The displacement vector is a vector indicating a displacement determined based on a position displacement amount between the touch position at the first time and the touch position at the second time. Alternatively, the displacement vector between two adjacent game animation frames may be referred to as an inter-frame displacement vector.

Step 505, determining displacement information based on the displacement vector.

The displacement information includes a displacement distance and/or a displacement velocity. The displacement information includes a longitudinal displacement distance and/or a longitudinal displacement velocity. The displacement information includes a lateral displacement distance and/or a lateral displacement velocity.

In an exemplary embodiment, the above step 505 includes the following sub-steps (505a-505 b):

505a, the displacement vector is transformed to obtain a transformed displacement vector.

The transformation process is used to establish a mapping relationship between the displacement of the sliding touch operation and the displacement of the isocenter position. Alternatively, the conversion process is a process of multiplying the displacement vector by a constant coefficient, wherein the constant coefficient is related to the game sensitivity. Alternatively, the constant coefficient is not a constant value, and an applicable or corresponding value may be selected according to actual conditions. Optionally, the game sensitivity includes but is not limited to mouse sensitivity, control sensitivity of virtual items, and the like.

The transformed displacement vector may also be referred to as an operation input vector. The touch position at the first time has coordinates of (x)₀，y₀) The coordinate of the touch position at the second time is (x)₁，y₁) Under the scene of (2), the transformed displacement vector PullDownVector＝K*[(x₀，y₀)-(x₁，y₁)]Where K is a constant coefficient. Optionally, the transformed displacement vector includes a transformed inter-frame displacement vector, and the transformed inter-frame displacement vector is a vector obtained by performing transformation processing based on the inter-frame displacement vector.

In one example, as shown in FIG. 6, a schematic diagram of generating an operation input vector is illustrated. Which comprises the following steps:

step 1, obtaining the touch position (x) of the current frame₀，y₀)。

Step 2, obtaining the touch position (x) of the previous frame₁，y₁)。

And step 3, determining a displacement vector of the sliding touch operation between the current frame and the previous frame.

And 4, transforming the displacement vector to obtain an operation input vector PullDownvector.

And 5, updating the touch position.

505b, determining displacement information from the transformed displacement vector.

Optionally, a component of the transformed displacement vector in the longitudinal direction is taken as the longitudinal displacement distance. Alternatively, the longitudinal displacement distance may be expressed as pulldown vector.

Optionally, a component of the transformed displacement vector in the longitudinal direction is divided by the displacement time as the longitudinal displacement distance to obtain the longitudinal displacement velocity.

Optionally, a component of the transformed displacement vector in the lateral direction is taken as the lateral displacement distance. Alternatively, the lateral displacement distance may be expressed as pulldown vector.

Optionally, a component of the transformed displacement vector in the transverse direction is divided by the displacement time as a transverse displacement distance to obtain a transverse displacement velocity.

Optionally, the displacement information includes an inter-frame longitudinal displacement distance, an inter-frame longitudinal displacement speed, an inter-frame transverse displacement distance, and an inter-frame transverse displacement speed.

And step 506, under the condition that the displacement information meets the condition, determining that the sliding touch operation is the centered manual control operation.

The above condition is a judgment condition for identifying whether or not the slide touch operation by the user is the centering manual control operation, which is easily understood as the gun pressing operation.

When judging whether the user executes the gun pressing operation at the current frame, the judgment can be carried out through two aspects, on one hand, whether the displacement distance determined by the operation input vector formed by the user at the current frame meets the actual condition of the gun pressing operation or not can be judged, and on the other hand, whether the displacement speed determined by the sliding operation of the user at the current frame meets the actual condition of the gun pressing operation or not can be judged. The displacement speed is obtained by dividing the displacement distance determined by the operation input vector formed by the user in the current frame by the inter-frame interval time, so that the planning and understanding are facilitated. Alternatively, only the displacement distance determined by the operation input vector formed by the user in the current frame can be used as the judgment basis in the implementation process.

In an exemplary embodiment, the case where the above-described displacement information satisfies the condition is as follows:

the first condition is as follows: and determining the sliding touch operation as a vertical centered manual control operation under the condition that the vertical displacement distance belongs to the first distance interval and/or the vertical displacement speed belongs to the first speed interval.

The first distance interval is used for quantitatively representing a reasonable range of longitudinal displacement distance generated by gun pressing operation. Wherein, the left interval endpoint value of the first distance interval is the minimum first distance, which is easily understood as the minimum longitudinal displacement distance; the right interval endpoint value of the first distance interval is the maximum first distance, which is easily understood as the maximum longitudinal displacement distance. In the case where the longitudinal displacement distance belongs to the first distance section, the slide touch operation can be regarded as a centered manual control operation in the longitudinal direction, that is, there is a gun-pressing operation in the longitudinal direction.

The first speed interval is used for quantifying a reasonable range of longitudinal displacement speeds generated by the gun pressing operation. Wherein, the left interval endpoint value of the first speed interval is the minimum first speed, which is easily understood as the minimum longitudinal displacement speed; the right interval end point value of the first speed interval is the maximum first speed, which is easily understood as the maximum longitudinal displacement speed. In the case where the longitudinal displacement speed belongs to the first speed section, the slide touch operation can be recognized as a centered manual control operation in the longitudinal direction, i.e., there is a gun-pressing operation in the longitudinal direction.

Optionally, the interval endpoint value is determined by setting a threshold coefficient, comprising a minimum threshold coefficient and a maximum threshold coefficient, to be multiplied by the magnitude of the squat force. Alternatively, the threshold coefficient may be established according to actual conditions, for example, according to a displacement time factor. Optionally, the minimum first distance is a product of a minimum threshold coefficient K1 and a value of longitudinal recoil force RecoilUp. Optionally, the maximum first distance is a product of a maximum threshold coefficient K2 and a value of longitudinal recoil force RecoilUp.

Accordingly, in the case where the longitudinal displacement distance belongs to the first distance section and/or the longitudinal displacement velocity belongs to the first velocity section, the application of the longitudinal automatic restoring force to the virtual shooting prop is cancelled, and the centering position is adjusted in the longitudinal direction by the centering manual control operation. Optionally, the automatic restoring force comprises an inter-frame automatic restoring force, which refers to an automatic restoring force generated between two frames. Optionally, the inter-frame automatic restoring force includes a horizontal inter-frame automatic restoring force and a vertical inter-frame automatic restoring force. Alternatively, the vertical displacement distance in case one may be an inter-frame vertical displacement distance, and then for the current frame, the vertical inter-frame automatic restoring force applied to the virtual shooting prop should be cancelled. Alternatively, the longitudinal displacement speed in case one may be an inter-frame longitudinal displacement speed, and then for the current frame, the longitudinal inter-frame automatic restoring force applied to the virtual shooting prop should be cancelled.

Case two: and determining the sliding touch operation as a horizontal centered manual control operation under the condition that the horizontal displacement distance belongs to the second distance interval and/or the horizontal displacement speed belongs to the second speed interval.

The second distance interval is used for quantitatively representing a reasonable range of the transverse displacement distance generated by the gun pressing operation. Wherein, the left interval endpoint value of the second distance interval is the minimum second distance, which is easily understood as the minimum transverse displacement distance; the right interval endpoint value of the second distance interval is the maximum second distance, which is easily understood as the maximum lateral displacement distance. In the case where the lateral displacement distance belongs to the second distance section, the slide touch operation can be regarded as a lateral centered manual control operation, that is, there is a gun-pressing operation in the lateral direction.

The second velocity interval is used to quantify a reasonable range of lateral displacement velocities resulting from the gun-pressing operation. Wherein, the left interval endpoint value of the second speed interval is the minimum second speed, which is easily understood as the minimum transverse displacement speed; the right interval endpoint value of the second speed interval is the maximum second speed, which is easily understood as the maximum lateral displacement speed. In the case where the lateral displacement speed belongs to the second speed section, the slide touch operation can be regarded as a lateral centered manual control operation, that is, there is a gun-pressing operation in the lateral direction.

Optionally, the minimum second distance is a product of a minimum threshold coefficient K1 and a value of longitudinal recoil force recoilalteral. Optionally, the maximum second distance is a product of a maximum threshold coefficient K2 and a value of longitudinal recoil, recoilalteral.

Accordingly, in the case where the lateral displacement distance belongs to the second distance section and/or the lateral displacement speed belongs to the second speed section, the application of the lateral automatic restoring force to the virtual shooting prop is cancelled, and the centering position is adjusted in the lateral direction by the centering manual control operation. Alternatively, the lateral displacement distance in case two may be an inter-frame lateral displacement distance, and then for the current frame, the lateral inter-frame automatic restoring force applied to the virtual shooting prop should be cancelled. Alternatively, the lateral displacement speed in case two may be an inter-frame lateral displacement speed, and then for the current frame, the lateral inter-frame automatic restoring force applied to the virtual shooting prop should be cancelled.

In one example, as shown in FIG. 7, a schematic diagram illustrating a process of automatic restoring force of a switch is illustrated. The method comprises the following steps:

and a, judging whether the transverse displacement distance is greater than the minimum transverse displacement distance and less than the maximum transverse displacement distance. If yes, executing step b, otherwise executing step c.

And b, canceling the transverse automatic restoring force.

And c, applying transverse automatic restoring force.

And d, judging whether the longitudinal displacement distance is greater than the minimum longitudinal displacement distance and less than the maximum longitudinal displacement distance. If yes, executing step e, otherwise executing step f.

And e, canceling the longitudinal automatic restoring force.

And f, applying longitudinal automatic restoring force.

And step 507, after the shooting operation is executed, if the quasi-center manual control operation aiming at the virtual shooting prop is received, canceling the automatic restoring force applied to the virtual shooting prop, and controlling the quasi-center position of the virtual shooting prop according to the quasi-center manual control operation.

And step 508, after the shooting operation is executed, if the centering manual control operation is not received, applying an automatic restoring force to the virtual shooting prop, and controlling the centering position of the virtual shooting prop according to the automatic restoring force.

The following further explains the beneficial effects brought by the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application in combination with the scheme provided by the related technology. In a typical return force implementation, for example, in a shooting game application, the aiming position or hitting position is determined by a squat offset vector, a gun pressure input vector, and a return force vector when a shooting operation is performed. Wherein the direction of the return force vector is opposite to the direction of the squat offset vector. Referring to fig. 8, a diagram illustrating an alignment process is shown. Due to the existence of the recovery amount, the recovery ending center position can deviate from a shooting starting point which needs to be aimed by a player through the pressure gun operation, so that the shooting operation cannot be accurately realized. However, the presence of the return amount also limits the deviation of the return end alignment position from the shooting start point when the user is not performing the gun-pressing operation, and in this case, the presence of the return amount is a positive benefit for the player.

Therefore, the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application starts and stops the condition of the automatic restoring force through setting, and then the shooting device is suitable for various shooting operation scenes, and improves the efficiency and accuracy of shooting operation. The method comprises the steps of firstly obtaining the displacement of sliding touch operation of a user between two moments, further identifying whether the current operation behavior of the user is gun pressing operation, and when the gun pressing operation of the user is identified, cancelling the automatic restoring force existing between frames by taking the frame as a unit, and when the gun pressing operation of the user is not identified, applying the automatic restoring force existing between frames by taking the frame as a unit, so that the shooting operation of the user can be assisted from a more detailed angle.
