Inviting other players to engage in virtual interactions
View Patent ↗A virtual interaction method including displaying a virtual scenario comprising a first virtual figure and a second virtual figure that participate in a battle game task, wherein the first virtual figure is controlled by a first device. The method further includes, in response to a trigger operation on the first device, displaying the first virtual figure and a target virtual figure performing an action directed to the second virtual figure together, wherein the target virtual figure is not controlled by the first device.
1 . A virtual resource interaction method, comprising:
displaying, on a display of a first device associated with a first user account, a first virtual figure and a second virtual figure that participate in a battle game task in a virtual environment, the first virtual figure being controlled by the first device;
based on a user selection via a user interface of the first device, determining one or more selected virtual figures for performing a virtual action on the second virtual figure, a number of the one or more selected virtual figures being restricted based on a comparison of an amount of virtual resources possessed by the first virtual figure and an amount of virtual resources consumed by the virtual action performed by the one or more selected virtual figures and the first virtual figure together; and
based on one or more responses associated with the one or more selected virtual figures, displaying on the display of the first device:
the first virtual figure and a subset of the one or more selected virtual figures, and
a visual effect corresponding to the first virtual figure and the subset of the one or more selected virtual figures performing the virtual action on the second virtual figure together,
wherein the one or more selected virtual figures are not controlled by the first device.
2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the virtual action corresponds to showing a social expression to the second virtual figure.
3 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
based on the user selection via the user interface of the first device, causing an invitation request to be transmitted to a target device configured to control one of the one or more selected virtual figures.
4 . The method according to claim 3 , further comprising:
receiving a confirmation message associated with the invitation request.
5 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein the confirmation message indicates:
the target device accepts the invitation request; or
the target device does not decline the invitation request.
6 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
deducting the amount of virtual resources consumed by the virtual action from a first account associated with the first virtual figure for performance of the virtual action.
7 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
in response to a determination of insufficient resources for performance of the virtual action, displaying a prompt on the display of the first device for supplementing virtual resources.
8 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying at least one candidate virtual figure on the user interface; and
selecting from the at least one candidate virtual figure the one or more selected virtual figures in response to a selection operation.
9 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying a configuration control for selecting the virtual action or an attribute of the virtual action.
10 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying the subset of the one or more selected virtual figures as being teleported into the virtual environment to perform the virtual action; and
displaying the subset of the one or more selected virtual figures as being teleported out from the virtual environment after the virtual action is completed.
11 . A virtual resource interaction apparatus, comprising:
processing circuitry configured to:
display, on a display of the virtual resource interaction apparatus associated with a first user account, a first virtual figure and a second virtual figure that participate in a battle game task in a virtual environment, the first virtual figure being controlled by the virtual resource interaction apparatus;
based on a user selection via a user interface of the virtual resource interaction apparatus, determine one or more selected virtual figures for performing a virtual action on the second virtual figure, a number of the one or more selected virtual figures being restricted based on a comparison of an amount of virtual resources possessed by the first virtual figure and an amount of virtual resources consumed by the virtual action performed by the one or more selected virtual figures and the first virtual figure together; and
based on one or more responses associated with the one or more selected virtual figures, display on the display of the virtual resource interaction apparatus:
the first virtual figure and a subset of the one or more selected virtual figures, and
a visual effect corresponding to the first virtual figure and the subset of the one or more selected virtual figures performing the virtual action on the second virtual figure together,
wherein the one or more selected virtual figures are not controlled by the virtual resource interaction apparatus.
12 . The apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the virtual action corresponds to showing a social expression to the second virtual figure.
13 . The apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:
based on the user selection via the user interface of the virtual resource interaction apparatus, cause an invitation request to be transmitted to a target device configured to control one of the one or more selected virtual figures.
14 . The apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:
receive a confirmation message associated with the invitation request.
15 . The apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein the confirmation message indicates:
the target device accepts the invitation request; or
the target device does not decline the invitation request.
16 . The apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:
deduct the amount of virtual resources consumed by the virtual action from a first account associated with the first virtual figure for performance of the virtual action.
17 . The apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:
in response to a determination of insufficient resources for performance of the virtual action, display on the display of the virtual resource interaction apparatus a prompt for supplementing virtual resources.
18 . The apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:
display at least one candidate virtual figure on the user interface; and
select from the at least one candidate virtual figure the one or more selected virtual figures in response to a selection operation.
19 . The apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:
display a configuration control for selecting the virtual action or an attribute of the virtual action.
20 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions thereon, which, when executed by processing circuitry of a first device, cause the processing circuitry to perform a virtual resource interaction method:
displaying, on a display of the first device associated with a first user account, a first virtual figure and a second virtual figure that participate in a battle game task in a virtual environment, the first virtual figure being controlled by the first device;
based on a user selection via a user interface of the first device, determining one or more selected virtual figures for performing a virtual action on the second virtual figure, a number of the one or more selected virtual figures being restricted based on a comparison of an amount of virtual resources possessed by the first virtual figure and an amount of virtual resources consumed by the virtual action performed by the one or more selected virtual figures and the first virtual figure together; and
based on one or more responses associated with the one or more selected virtual figures, displaying on the display of the first device:
the first virtual figure and a subset of the one or more selected virtual figures, and
a visual effect corresponding to the first virtual figure and the subset of the one or more selected virtual figures performing the virtual action on the second virtual figure together,
wherein the one or more selected virtual figures are not controlled by the first device.
