Virtual character control method, apparatus, storage medium and electronic device

A virtual character control apparatus, applied to a mobile terminal and the mobile terminal obtaining a graphical user interface by executing a software application on a processor and performing rendering on a touch display screen, the apparatus comprising:

• a virtual character rendering component, arranged to render a plurality of virtual characters on the graphical user interface, wherein the plurality of virtual characters comprise a first virtual character and at least one second virtual character, the first virtual character is configured to execute a virtual operation according to a touch event of a user on the touch display screen, and the virtual operation comprises a skill operation for the at least one second virtual character;
• a skill control rendering component, arranged to render a skill control on the graphical user interface, wherein the skill control corresponds to the skill operation;
• a target selection control rendering component, arranged to, in response to that a first touch event for the skill control is detected, render a target selection control in a vicinity of the skill control, the target selection control comprising a plurality of sub-controls, each sub-control corresponding to a predetermined target selection condition and the target selection condition being configured to select a target of the skill operation from the at least one second virtual character;
• a target selection component, arranged to detect a second control event for the target selection control, determine a present target selection condition according to the sub-control presently selected in response to the second touch event and select at least one second virtual character consistent with the present target selection condition in real time from a predetermined distance range as the target of the skill operation;
• and
• a skill operation component, arranged to, in response to that the end of the second touch event is detected, control the first virtual character to execute the skill operation on the target which is presently selected.

An electronic device, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory, connected with the processor and configured to store at least one executable instruction of the processor,
• wherein the processor is arranged to execute the at least one executable instruction, and the at least one executable instruction comprises:
• rendering a plurality of virtual characters on the graphical user interface, wherein the plurality of virtual characters comprise a first virtual character and at least one second virtual character, the first virtual character is configured to execute a virtual operation according to a touch event of a user on the touch display screen, and the virtual operation comprises a skill operation for the at least one second virtual character;
• rendering a skill control on the graphical user interface, wherein the skill control corresponds to the skill operation;
• in response to that a first touch event for the skill control is detected, rendering a target selection control in a vicinity of the skill control, the target selection control comprising a plurality of sub-controls, each sub-control corresponding to a predetermined target selection condition and the target selection condition being configured to select a target of the skill operation from the at least one second virtual character;
• detecting a second control event for the target selection control, determining a present target selection condition according to the sub-control presently selected in response to the second touch event, and selecting at least one second virtual character consistent with the present target selection condition in real time from a predetermined distance range as the target of the skill operation;
• and
• in response to that the end of the second touch event is detected, controlling the first virtual character to execute the skill operation on the target which is presently selected.
