SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING CURVED PATH OF TRAVEL FOR CHARACTER IN COVER MODE IN GAME ENVIRONMENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To determine a curved path of travel for a character in cover mode in video games that feature cover mode.SOLUTION: A computer system comprises: a memory storing data and program instructions, the data representing a game environment including a character and a plurality of cover segments; a player interface; and a processor configured to execute the program instructions stored in the memory. Execution of the program instructions causes the computer to implement a method that comprises: determining a selected subset of the cover segments; determining a curved path that passes through control points associated with the selected subset of the cover segments; and rendering images for display via the player interface. The images shows movement of the character along the curved path while the character is in cover mode.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 13
