Abstract

An example of an information processing system, in a battle scene in a game, in a case where any of commands of a plurality of types is specified by a first instruction, and a state of the specified command is in a usable state, causes a player character to perform a behavior associated with the command, causes the command to transition to an unusable state, and resets a first parameter associated with the command. In a case where the command in the unusable state is specified by a second instruction, and a second parameter can be consumed, the information processing system consumes the second parameter, causes the player character to perform the behavior associated with the command, sets the command to the unusable state, and resets the first parameter associated with the command.

Claims30

Dependent claims

One or more non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors of an information processing apparatus to execute information processing comprising:

in a battle scene between a player character and an enemy character in a game,
in a case where any of commands of a plurality of types is specified by a first instruction based on an operation input, and a state of the specified command is a usable state between the usable state and an unusable state,
causing the player character to perform a behavior associated with the command;
causing the specified command to transition to the unusable state;
and
resetting a first parameter associated with the specified command among first parameters set for the respective commands;
in a case where the first parameter satisfies a first condition, causing the command associated with the first parameter to transition to the usable state, wherein the first parameter regarding each of the commands in the unusable state is updated in accordance with progress of a game;
and
in a case where the command in the unusable state is specified by a second instruction based on an operation input, and a second parameter can be consumed;
consuming the second parameter;
causing the player character to perform the behavior associated with the command;
setting the specified command to the unusable state;
and
resetting the first parameter associated with the specified command.

An information processing system comprising:

one or more processors that are configured to execute information processing comprising:
in a battle scene between a player character and an enemy character in a game,
in a case where any of commands of a plurality of types is specified by a first instruction based on an operation input, and a state of the specified command is a usable state between the usable state and an unusable state,
causing the player character to perform a behavior associated with the command;
causing the specified command to transition to the unusable state;
and
resetting a first parameter associated with the specified command among first parameters set for the respective commands;
in a case where the first parameter satisfies a first condition, causing the command associated with the first parameter to transition to the usable state, wherein the first parameter regarding each of the commands in the unusable state is updated in accordance with progress of a game;
and
in a case where the command in the unusable state is specified by a second instruction based on an operation input, and a second parameter can be consumed;
consuming the second parameter;
causing the player character to perform the behavior associated with the command;
setting the specified command to the unusable state;
and
resetting the first parameter associated with the specified command.

12 more elements

A game processing method performed on an information processing system, the game processing method comprising:

in a battle scene between a player character and an enemy character in a game,
in a case where any of commands of a plurality of types is specified by a first instruction based on an operation input, and a state of the specified command is a usable state between the usable state and an unusable state,
causing the player character to perform a behavior associated with the command;
causing the specified command to transition to the unusable state;
and
resetting a first parameter associated with the specified command among first parameters set for the respective commands;
in a case where the first parameter satisfies a first condition, causing the command associated with the first parameter to transition to the usable state, wherein the first parameter regarding each of the commands in the unusable state is updated in accordance with progress of a game;
and
in a case where the command in the unusable state is specified by a second instruction based on an operation input, and a second parameter can be consumed;
consuming the second parameter;
causing the player character to perform the behavior associated with the command;
setting the specified command to the unusable state;
and
resetting the first parameter associated with the specified command.
