QTE為Quick Time Event的簡(jiǎn)寫，多見于主機(jī)游戲中，通常以在規(guī)定時(shí)間內(nèi)根據(jù)提示完成（一系列）按鍵操作的形式出現(xiàn)。就表現(xiàn)上看，其實(shí)是過場(chǎng)動(dòng)畫的一種分解觸發(fā)機(jī)制，用于表現(xiàn)看似復(fù)雜實(shí)則固定的動(dòng)作或者場(chǎng)景效果，一方面在消除了單純過場(chǎng)乏味感的同時(shí)增強(qiáng)了游戲的互動(dòng)性，另一方面還降低了表現(xiàn)復(fù)雜效果的開發(fā)難度。

目前MMORPG的一個(gè)開發(fā)趨勢(shì)就是融入主機(jī)游戲中的一些元素，提升網(wǎng)游在傳統(tǒng)游戲性之外的可玩性。本文主要根據(jù)自己在項(xiàng)目中開發(fā)的QTE系統(tǒng)，介紹一個(gè)相對(duì)比較簡(jiǎn)單的原型框架。
一、分析
以一個(gè)限時(shí)按鍵的QTE來分析，其中包括的元素有：時(shí)間、鍵、結(jié)果。時(shí)間與鍵可看作Event的約束條件，它們共同決定該Event是否達(dá)成。而結(jié)果可作為一條消息發(fā)送給關(guān)心者，然后由后者決定與之相關(guān)的表現(xiàn)。

鼠標(biāo)作為PC上重要的外設(shè)，當(dāng)然會(huì)被用于QTE，其形式可能會(huì)包括：搖晃、按鍵、滾輪滾動(dòng)等等。Event是否達(dá)成的判斷流程，與限時(shí)按鍵大同小異。
有時(shí)候Designer可能會(huì)設(shè)計(jì)一系列Event，增加操作難度，這時(shí)就需要考慮將多個(gè)Event串聯(lián)起來，只有所有Event達(dá)成時(shí)，該QTE才能算達(dá)成。因此，在圖1之上，需要加入另一個(gè)判斷邏輯。

二、實(shí)現(xiàn)
通過分析，不難得出一個(gè)典型的QTE系統(tǒng)的核心數(shù)據(jù)結(jié)構(gòu)：Event鏈表。此外，為了將結(jié)果反饋給QTE請(qǐng)求者，還應(yīng)該提供一個(gè)通用的通知機(jī)制。在這個(gè)原型框架中，通過加入一個(gè)中間層來隔離異構(gòu)的請(qǐng)求者，實(shí)現(xiàn)了回調(diào)機(jī)制。

QTEFunctor作為處理Event的仿函數(shù)基類，給出了各種QTE的處理接口。

QTEDelegateBase提供了回調(diào)函數(shù)的統(tǒng)一接口，為兼容類函數(shù)和非類函數(shù)，分別派生出了QTETypeDelegate和QTENoTypeDelegate。

QTEManager中采用了vector容器來保存待處理的多個(gè)Event鏈，并提供申請(qǐng)QTE、取消QTE的接口，以及Event是否達(dá)成的邏輯更新。
