Managing character control in a virtual space

摘要

Character control in a virtual space may be managed between user instructions and non-user instructions. User instructions associated with controllable aspects of characters within the virtual space may be received. The characters may include a first character associated with a first user and a second character. Non-user instructions associated with controllable aspects of characters within the virtual space may be provided. A determination may be made as to whether two or more characters are coupled together. The first character may be coupled with the second character responsive to a coupling action performed by one or both of the first character or the second character. A determination may be made as to whether user instructions or non-user instructions should dictate control of controllable aspects of characters. Individual characters may be configured to be agnostic as to whether user instructions or non-user instructions dictate control of controllable aspects.

主权项

1. A system configured to manage character control in a virtual space between user instructions and non-user instructions, the system comprising:
one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
implement an instance of the virtual space to determine views of the virtual space, the instance of the virtual space including characters configured to be agnostic as to whether user instructions or non-user instructions dictate control of controllable aspects of the characters, the characters including a first character associated with a first user and a second character;receive user instructions associated with direct user control of one or more controllable aspects of the characters, one or more controllable aspects of the first character being directly controlled by the user instructions;provide non-user instructions associated with control of one or more controllable aspects of the characters, the non-user instructions being uninfluenced by the user instructions;determine whether two or more characters are coupled together within the instance of the virtual space, the first character being coupled with the second character responsive to a coupling action performed by one or both of the first character or the second character within the instance of the virtual space;determine whether user instructions or non-user instructions should dictate control of controllable aspects of characters, the determination as to whether user instructions or non-user instructions dictate control of one or more controllable aspects of the second character being based on whether the first character is coupled with the second character; anddictate control of the one or more controllable aspects of the second character such that (1) the one or more controllable aspects of the second character are directly user-controlled by user instructions responsive to a determination that the first character is coupled with the second character based on performance of the coupling action by one or both of the first character or the second character and (2) the one or more controllable aspects of the second character are controlled by non-user instructions responsive to a determination that the first character is not coupled with the second character based on neither the first character nor the second character performing the coupling action.
