Virtual object movement control method and apparatus, electronic apparatus, and storage medium

An electronic apparatus, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory configured to store a computer program;
• the processor being configured to execute the computer program stored in the memory to implement a plurality of operations including:
• displaying a virtual joystick region in a terminal screen of the electronic apparatus;
• in accordance with a determination that (i) a touch operation on the virtual joystick region is detected, (ii) a displacement of the touch operation is greater than a displacement threshold, and (iii) a duration of the touch operation is greater than a target time:
• rendering a target function button in the terminal screen, the target function button being used for controlling a virtual object to automatically move according to a target speed;
• and
• causing the virtual object to start moving automatically according to the target speed after a first touch operation on the target function button is detected;
• and
• controlling the virtual object to continuously move in a virtual scene automatically without further touch operations until a second touch operation on the target function button is detected.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing at least one instruction, at least one program, and a code set or an instruction set, the instruction, the program, and the code set or the instruction set being loaded and executed by a processor of an electronic apparatus to implement operations including:

• displaying a virtual joystick region in a terminal screen of the electronic apparatus;
• in accordance with a determination that (i) a touch operation on the virtual joystick region is detected, (ii) a displacement of the touch operation is greater than a displacement threshold, and (iii) a duration of the touch operation is greater than a target time:
• rendering a target function button in the terminal screen, the target function button being used for controlling a virtual object to automatically move according to a target speed;
• and
• causing the virtual object to start moving automatically according to the target speed after a first touch operation on the target function button is detected;
• and
• controlling the virtual object to continuously move in a virtual scene automatically without further touch operations until a second touch operation on the target function button is detected.
