Virtual object control method and apparatus, computer device and storage medium

A virtual object control apparatus, comprising:

• a memory storing a plurality of computer-readable instructions;
• and
• a processor configured to execute the plurality of computer-readable instructions, wherein upon execution of the computer-readable instructions, the processor is configured to:
• display, via a display screen, a virtual scene, the virtual scene comprising a first object, a second object, a visual field focus region, and a visual field peripheral region, the first object being a virtual object controlled by a user, the second object being a virtual object not controlled by a user;
• in response to an operation against the second object, control the first object to fight against the second object in the virtual scene to reduce an attribute value of the second object;
• in response to the attribute value of the second object being less than a preset threshold, display conversion prompt information on the display screen;
• in response to a conversion operation on the second object, play a conversion animation, and display conversion progress indication information and object type options on the display screen, by:
• displaying an option indication region in a position in a display region deviating from a center point of the visual field focus region, and displaying the object type options in the visual field peripheral region;
• and
• displaying the conversion progress indication information and an option indication flag in the option indication region, the option indication flag used to indicate a target object type option being selected;
• and
• in response to a selection of the target object type option and the conversion progress indication information indicating a completion of playing of the conversion animation, convert the second object into a dependent virtual object of the first object, the target object type option being one of the object type options, an object type to which the dependent virtual object belongs being an object type indicated by the target object type option.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing a plurality of computer-readable instructions, wherein the plurality of computer-readable instructions, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• display, via a display screen, a virtual scene, the virtual scene comprising a first object, a second object, a visual field focus region, and a visual field peripheral region, the first object being a virtual object controlled by a user, the second object being a virtual object not controlled by a user;
• in response to an operation against the second object, control the first object to fight against the second object in the virtual scene to reduce an attribute value of the second object;
• in response to the attribute value of the second object being less than a preset threshold, display conversion prompt information on the display screen;
• in response to a conversion operation on the second object, play a conversion animation, and display conversion progress indication information and object type options on the display screen, by:
• displaying an option indication region in a position in a display region deviating from a center point of the visual field focus region, and displaying the object type options in the visual field peripheral region;
• and
• displaying the conversion progress indication information and an option indication flag in the option indication region, the option indication flag used to indicate a target object type option being selected;
• and
• in response to a selection of the target object type option and the conversion progress indication information indicating a completion of playing of the conversion animation, convert the second object into a dependent virtual object of the first object, the target object type option being one of the object type options, an object type to which the dependent virtual object belongs being an object type indicated by the target object type option.
