Abstract:
Systems and methods for precise position selection of an offset anchor from items within a map of a multiplayer game with touchscreen gestures. Specifically, the systems and methods utilize inputs from a touchscreen, to selectively define an offset targeting position in relation to a selected target, e.g., for the selective teleportation of a player's character. In essence, the methods and systems facilitate a user's or “player's” ability to precisely position an character, offset from a target object (generally referenced herein as a “target”), utilizing an intuitive offset-positioning focus point reticle. The offset-positioning focus point reticle, as described herein, allows the player to precisely and efficiently select a radial and offset position for a character to be teleported to relative to a selected target.
