Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a game system and a method of implementing a game character artificial intelligence by a user setting,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a game system and method, and more particularly, to a game system and method for implementing artificial intelligence of a game character. More specifically, And a game system and method for implementing artificial intelligence.

In the conventional mobile game, a large number of game characters appear, and the game characters themselves are configured to operate by artificial intelligence.

The artificial intelligence is configured such that, when the current state of the game character is checked and the state of the check result is set in advance, the artificial intelligence automatically performs a predetermined operation of the game character. That is, a game character that has reached a specific state starts a predetermined behavior pattern based on the state.

For example, when the energy of a game character reaches 50%, the game automatically proceeds according to AI algorithm, just like using skill A (skill A).

In this setting, when the planner plans, the programmer who produces the game uses the programming language to produce and code the game program according to the plan, and the planner tests the game program, And the programmer is made to revise the program again.

Because of this game production process, game planners and game programmers must spend a considerable amount of time and money to implement all the contents of the plan, and the process is very complicated.

These game production processes are led by experts.

In the past, such an artificial intelligence algorithm is configured such that it can not be newly set or changed by a non-expert such as a game user.

For example, you can not change an artificial intelligence algorithm that tells you to use Skill A when the energy of the game character reaches 50%, but you can use Skill A even if the game character's energy reaches 30%. When changing the AI algorithm, the game programmer must make a new game change.

However, there has not yet been disclosed a method in which the user can change the artificial intelligence algorithm of the game character immediately before or during the game in real time in accordance with his or her game tendency or game operation, and enjoy the game.

Here, the FSM input module 110 may be configured to receive a setting value from a user at any time before or during game execution.

For example, if the game character A's energy reaches 50%, and the artificial intelligence algorithm is set to use skill A (skill A), the user sets the setting value of 50% and the setting value of skill A And may be configured to receive change input from the user. For example, you can lower 50% to 30%, increase it to 80%, and change skill A to skill A and skill B. The change of the set value of 50% may be configured to receive the set value to be automatically changed according to a certain condition. For example, if the game character B is all consumed, the skill A may be used even if the energy of the game character A reaches 80%, or the setting value may be automatically set according to the operation state of the other game character .

Meanwhile, the aforementioned user includes a game user, and may include all the related subjects other than a professional game programmer such as a game planner, an animator, and the like. That is, the present invention is characterized in that it is possible to easily change the set values even if the game programmer is not a professional game programmer.

The FSM editing module 120 may be configured to change and set the operation state of the game character based on the artificial intelligence according to the set value input by the FSM input module 110. [ Strictly speaking, the FSM editing module 120 can be configured to edit the conditions and variables for setting this operating state.

As described above, the FSM editing module 120 may change the energy setting value of the game character A from 50% to 80%, or may change the skill A to the skill B.

The FSM editing module 120 may be configured to set a game character in the form of a visual script.

2, the FSM editing module 120 includes a category finite state machine (FSM) 121, an event finite state machine (FSM) 122, and an animation FSM (animation finite state machine) 123 . ≪ / RTI >

In addition, the lower FSM of the event FSM 122 may be the animation FSM 123, and the animation FSM 123 may be provided more than once per event FSM 122. [

The category FSM 121 is a configuration for setting a condition and a variable according to the current operation state of the game character. The category FSM 121 confirms the current operation state of the game character, sets conditions and variables based on the checked current operation state, FSM < / RTI > That is, the category FSM 121 may be configured to select and connect the event FSM 122 that matches the current operating state. That is, the event FSM 122 may be configured to be connected according to the conditions and variables set by the category FSM 121. [

And the event FSM 122 may be configured to generate an event of the game character to match the previously set conditions.

The event FSM 122 may be configured to reset the conditions and variables of the game controller and to link them to the animation FSM 123 that matches the conditions and variables. The animation FSM 123 may be configured to operate the game character according to a predetermined behavior pattern according to the conditions and variables described above.

Here, the finite state is composed of a plurality of stat units, and each stat may be composed of one to many small actions. The plurality of stats may be configured to be executed in a sequential order by transition.

One finite state is the order in which many of the stats are executed and terminated, and each stat is executed and terminated in a series of actions.

The stat is configured to have a function reference function, and the action can be configured to have a function of tuning and using all the functions used in the programming language by the FSM editing module 120 in a visual script manner.

Referring again to FIG. 1, the prefab database module 130 may be configured to store an operation state of a game character or a setting value for controlling the game character.

The prefab database module 130 may be configured to store, in the form of a data package, an operation state according to a set value set by a user during a game. Then, the FMS execution module 140 refers to the setting value of the data package type stored in the prefabric database module 130, that is, the conditions and variables for establishing the operation state, and applies the operation state to the FMS execution module 140.

On the other hand, the prefab database module 130 may be configured to set and store these setting values in advance of the game by the game programmer or the user.

The prefab database module 130 may be configured to separately store the settings to allow the user to select and apply the settings for changing a particular operating state at any time.

Thus, the user can select one of these data packages to conveniently set the artificial intelligence of the game character.

The FSM execution module 140 may be configured to apply the artificial intelligence operation state changed by the FSM editing module 120 before or during the game to the game character in real time.

When the operating state and the setting value of the data package type are selectively input using the prefab database module 130, the FSM execution module 140 transmits the operation state selected and input by the FSM input module 110 to the pre- (130). During the game, the user can more conveniently control the artificial intelligence operation of the game character, and the operation state can be set in advance according to necessity, and can be conveniently selected and used.
