Method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for perspective rotation

A terminal, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor connected to the memory;
• the processor being configured to load and execute executable instructions for perspective rotation in a virtual environment by performing a plurality of operations including:
• displaying (i) a first perspective image of an application program associated with the virtual environment, (ii) a first function control for supporting a first function and a perspective rotation function, and (iii) a second function control for supporting a second function and the same perspective rotation function, wherein the first perspective image is an image of the virtual environment observed using a first perspective direction of a virtual character in the virtual environment and the first function control and the second function control are overlaid on the first perspective image;
• receiving a first perspective rotation operation triggered based on the first function control;
• enabling the first function and the perspective rotation function of the first function control and switching the first perspective image to a second perspective image according to the first perspective rotation operation, the second perspective image being an image of the virtual environment observed using a second perspective direction of the virtual character in the virtual environment;
• receiving a second perspective rotation operation triggered based on the second function control while the first function control is in an enabled state;
• and
• disabling the perspective rotation function of the first function control, enabling the second function and the perspective rotation function of the second function control, and switching the second perspective image to a third perspective image according to the second perspective rotation operation, the third perspective image being an image of the virtual environment observed using a third perspective direction of the virtual character in the virtual environment.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having at least one instruction for perspective rotation in a virtual environment stored therein, the at least one instruction being loaded and executed by a processor of a terminal to perform a plurality of operations including:

• displaying (i) a first perspective image of an application program associated with the virtual environment, (ii) a first function control for supporting a first function and a perspective rotation function, and (iii) a second function control for supporting a second function and the same perspective rotation function, wherein the first perspective image is an image of the virtual environment observed using a first perspective direction of a virtual character in the virtual environment and the first function control and the second function control are overlaid on the first perspective image;
• receiving a first perspective rotation operation triggered based on the first function control;
• enabling the first function and the perspective rotation function of the first function control and switching the first perspective image to a second perspective image according to the first perspective rotation operation, the second perspective image being an image of the virtual environment observed using a second perspective direction of the virtual character in the virtual environment;
• receiving a second perspective rotation operation triggered based on the second function control while the first function control is in an enabled state;
• and
• disabling the perspective rotation function of the first function control, enabling the second function and the perspective rotation function of the second function control, and switching the second perspective image to a third perspective image according to the second perspective rotation operation, the third perspective image being an image of the virtual environment observed using a third perspective direction of the virtual character in the virtual environment.
