US 10,946,282 B2 · Control object spatial location determining method and apparatus

Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a control-object spatial-location determining method and apparatus. The method includes: detecting, by a game engine of the game application, a spatial-location request, wherein the game engine is not applying physical collision, and the spatial-location request is a request for determining, based on a first spatial-location of a first control-object in the game application, a second spatial-location of a second control-object; determining, by the game engine, multiple candidate spatial-locations according to the first spatial-location of the first control-object, wherein the multiple candidate spatial-locations surround the first spatial-location, and any two of the multiple candidate spatial-locations and the first spatial-location do not overlap; and determining, by the game engine, an unoccupied candidate spatial-location among the multiple candidate spatial-locations as the second spatial-location of the second control-object.

Dependent claims

A method of determining a location of an attacker object relative to a target object in a game application, comprising:

detecting, by a game engine of the game application, a location request;
upon receipt of the location request, allocating, by the game engine, a first ring and a second ring, wherein the first ring is positioned between the second ring and the target object;
allocating, by the game engine, at least two first candidate locations on the first ring, wherein the at least two first candidate locations do not touch each other, do not touch the second ring, but each touch the first ring;
allocating, by the game engine, at least two second candidate locations on the second ring, wherein the at least two second candidate locations do not touch each other, do not touch the first ring, but each touch the second ring;
upon determining a preset condition is met, selecting, by the game engine, one of the at least two first candidate locations as the location of the attacker object;
and
upon determining the preset condition is not met, selecting, by the game engine, one of the at least two second candidate locations as the location of the attacker object.

A location determining apparatus for a game application, comprising:

a memory storing computer-readable instructions;
and a processor coupled to the memory and, upon executing the instructions, configured to perform:
detecting a location request;
upon receipt of the location request, allocating a first ring and a second ring, wherein the first ring is positioned between the second ring and the target object;
allocating at least two first candidate locations on the first ring, wherein the at least two first candidate locations do not touch each other, do not touch the second ring, but each touch the first ring;
allocating, by the game engine, at least two second candidate locations on the second ring, wherein the at least two second candidate locations do not touch each other, do not touch the first ring, but each touch the second ring;
upon determining a preset condition is met, selecting, by the game engine, one of the at least two first candidate locations as the location of the attacker object;
and
upon determining the preset condition is not met, selecting, by the game engine, one of the at least two second candidate locations as the location of the attacker object.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing computer-executable instructions, upon being executed by a processor to perform:

detecting a location request;
upon receipt of the location request, allocating a first ring and a second ring, wherein the first ring is positioned between the second ring and the target object;
allocating at least two first candidate locations on the first ring, wherein the at least two first candidate locations do not touch each other, do not touch the second ring, but each touch the first ring;
allocating at least two second candidate locations on the second ring, wherein the at least two second candidate locations do not touch each other, do not touch the first ring, but each touch the second ring;
upon determining a preset condition is met, selecting one of the at least two first candidate locations as the location of the attacker object;
and
upon determining the preset condition is not met, selecting, by the game engine, one of the at least two second candidate locations as the location of the attacker object.
