Abstract

A method, an apparatus, a device, and a storage medium for displaying an equipment in a virtual environment battle. The method includes displaying a first battle interface of the virtual environment battle including a main equipment slot, an auxiliary equipment slot, and an expansion control interface in a first partial region of the first battle interface, the main equipment slot for displaying a main equipment of the virtual character, and the auxiliary equipment slot for displaying a first auxiliary equipment of the virtual character; receiving a first trigger signal on the expansion control interface, and displaying a second battle interface of the virtual environment battle including the main equipment slot, the auxiliary equipment slot, and an expansion equipment slot in a second partial region of the second battle interface, the expansion equipment slot for displaying a second auxiliary equipment owned by the virtual character other than the first auxiliary equipment.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for displaying an equipment in a virtual environment battle, performed by a terminal, the method comprising:
displaying a first battle interface of the virtual environment battle, the virtual environment battle being a battle mode in which a virtual character competes with other characters in a virtual environment;
displaying a main equipment slot, an auxiliary equipment slot, and an expansion control interface in a first partial region of the first battle interface, the main equipment slot for displaying a main equipment of the virtual character, and the auxiliary equipment slot for displaying a first auxiliary equipment of the virtual character;
receiving a first trigger signal on the expansion control interface; and
displaying a second battle interface of the virtual environment battle and displaying the main equipment slot, the auxiliary equipment slot, and an expansion equipment slot in a second partial region of the second battle interface, and the expansion equipment slot for displaying a second auxiliary equipment owned by the virtual character other than the first auxiliary equipment,
wherein a display priority of the first auxiliary equipment is greater than a display priority of the second auxiliary equipment.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a second trigger signal on the expansion equipment slot; and
switching the second auxiliary equipment in the expansion equipment slot with the main equipment in the main equipment slot.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second battle interface further displays a contraction control interface, and the method further comprises:
receiving a third trigger signal on the contraction control interface; and
displaying a third battle interface of the virtual environment battle, the main equipment slot, the auxiliary equipment slot, and the contraction control interface being displayed in a third partial region of the third battle interface.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein before the displaying the first battle interface of the virtual environment battle, the method further comprises:
determining display priorities of at least two auxiliary equipment owned by the virtual character;
based on a display priority of an auxiliary equipment being higher than a first condition, determining the auxiliary equipment as the first auxiliary equipment among the at least two auxiliary equipment; and
based on the display priority of the auxiliary equipment being lower than a second condition, determining the auxiliary equipment as the second auxiliary equipment among the at least two auxiliary equipment.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
detecting whether a number of equipment owned by the virtual character is greater than or equal to a preset threshold; and
displaying the first battle interface of the virtual environment battle based on the number of equipment owned by the virtual character being greater than or equal to the preset threshold.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a theme color of the main equipment slot is different from a theme color of the auxiliary equipment slot, and
wherein the theme color of the auxiliary equipment slot is the same as a theme color of the expansion equipment slot.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a display area of the main equipment slot is greater than a display area of the auxiliary equipment slot, and the display area of the auxiliary equipment slot is the same as a display area of the expansion equipment slot.

8. An apparatus for displaying an equipment in a virtual environment battle, the apparatus comprising:
at least one memory configured to store computer program code; and
at least one processor configured to access the memory and operate as instructed by the computer program code, the computer program code comprising:
a displaying code configured to cause the at least one processor to display a first battle interface of the virtual environment battle, the virtual environment battle being a battle mode in which a virtual character competes with other characters in a virtual environment, and display a main equipment slot, an auxiliary equipment slot, and an expansion control interface in a first partial region of the first battle interface, the main equipment slot for displaying a main equipment of the virtual character, and the auxiliary equipment slot for displaying a first auxiliary equipment of the virtual character;
an interaction code configured to cause the at least one processor to receive a first trigger signal on the expansion control interface; and
the displaying code configured to cause the at least one processor to display a second battle interface of the virtual environment battle, and display the main equipment slot, the auxiliary equipment slot, and an expansion equipment slot a second partial region of the second battle interface, and the expansion equipment slot for displaying a second auxiliary equipment owned by the virtual character other than the first auxiliary equipment,
wherein a display priority of the first auxiliary equipment is greater than a display priority of the second auxiliary equipment.

9. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein
the interaction code is further configured to cause the at least one processor to receive a second trigger signal on the expansion equipment slot; and
the displaying code is further configured to cause the at least one processor to switch the second auxiliary equipment in the expansion equipment slot with the main equipment in the main equipment slot.

10. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the display code is further configured to cause the at least one processor to display a contraction control interface in the second battle interface,
wherein the interaction code is further configured to cause the at least one processor to receive a third trigger signal on the contraction control interface, and
wherein the displaying code is further configured to cause the at least one processor to display a third battle interface of the virtual environment battle, the main equipment slot, the auxiliary equipment slot, and the contraction control interface being displayed in a third partial region of the third battle interface.

11. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the displaying code is further configured to cause the at least one processor to:
determine display priorities of at least two auxiliary equipment owned by the virtual character;
based on a display priority of an auxiliary equipment being higher than a first condition, determine the auxiliary equipment as the first auxiliary equipment among the at least two auxiliary equipment; and
based on the display priority of the auxiliary equipment being lower than a second condition, determine the auxiliary equipment as the second auxiliary equipment among the at least two auxiliary equipment.

12. The apparatus according to claim 8 , further comprising a detecting code configured to cause the at least one processor to detect whether a number of equipment owned by the virtual character is greater than or equal to a preset threshold; and
wherein the displaying code is further configured to cause the at least one processor to display the first battle interface of the virtual environment battle based on the number of equipment owned by the virtual character being greater than or equal to the preset threshold.

13. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein a theme color of the main equipment slot is different from a theme color of the auxiliary equipment slot, and
wherein the theme color of the a
