Abstract

A data processing method includes: determining, after receiving a casting instruction input by a user for a specified skill, first-type action data corresponding to the specified skill, the first-type action data being data that can be displayed before a server makes a response; sending a data requesting message to the server, the data requesting message being used for requesting second-type action data corresponding to the specified skill, and displaying the first-type action data, the second-type action data being data that cannot be displayed until the server makes a response; and receiving the second-type action data sent by the server, and displaying the second-type action data.

Claims

1. A data processing method, comprising:

at a terminal having a processor and a memory storing programs executed by the processor,

receiving a casting instruction for a specified skill of a virtual character from a user;

determining a first action data corresponding to the specified skill of the virtual character;

sending a requesting message to a server during a process of displaying the first action data, the requesting message being used for requesting a second action data corresponding to the specified skill of the virtual character;

receiving the second action data from the server; and

displaying the second action data.

2. The data processing method according to claim 1, further comprising:

listening to determine that the second action data is received during the process of displaying the first action data.

3. The data processing method according to claim 2, further comprising:

buffering the second action data before the displaying of the first action data is finished.

4. The data processing method according to claim 1, further comprising:

listening to determine that no second action data is received until the displaying of the first action data is finished; and

displaying preset redundant action data associated with the first action data.

5. A data processing method, comprising:

at a server having one or more processors and a memory storing programs executed by the one or more processors;

receiving, a data requesting message from a terminal which is displaying a first action data corresponding to a specified skill of a virtual character, the data requesting message being used for requesting a second action data corresponding to the specified skill of the virtual character;

determining the second action data corresponding to the specified skill of the virtual character in response to the data requesting message; and

sending the second action data to the terminal.

6. The data processing method according to claim 5, wherein after the process of receiving the data requesting message from the terminal, the method further comprises:

determining that a presentation of a second action data corresponding to a previous request is not finished;

buffering the data requesting message;

recording an expiration time of the data requesting message; and

reading the data requesting message when the expiration time expires.

7. A terminal, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory storing program instructions, wherein the processor executes the program instructions to;

receive a casting instruction for a specified skill of a virtual character from a user;

determine a first action data corresponding to the specified skill of the virtual character;

send a requesting message to a server during a process of displaying the first action data, the requesting message being used for requesting a second action data corresponding to the specified skill of the virtual character;

receive the second action data from the server; and

display the second action data.

8. The terminal according to claim 7, wherein the processor executes the program instructions further to:

listen to determine that the second action data is received during the process of displaying the first action data.

9. The terminal according to claim 8, wherein the processor executes the program instructions further to:

buffer the second action data before the displaying of the first action data is finished.

10. The terminal according to claim 8, wherein the processor executes the program instructions further to:

listen to determine that no second action data is received until the displaying of the first action data is finished; and

display preset redundant action data associated with the first action data.
