Control method of virtual object, control apparatus, device, and medium

An electronic device, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory configured to store executable instructions;
• wherein the processor is configured to read the executable instructions from the memory and execute the executable instructions to implement a control method of a virtual object, wherein the method comprises:
• displaying a target virtual scene in a target interactive interface, the target virtual scene comprising a plurality of virtual objects and a virtual subject controlled by a user;
• under the condition that there is a target virtual object in the plurality of virtual objects, displaying a target control, the target virtual object being a virtual object controllable by the virtual subject in a non-contact manner;
• in response to receiving a trigger operation on the target control, causing the virtual subject to perform non-contact control on the target virtual object according to a control mode corresponding to the target control,
• wherein the target control comprises a follow control,
• wherein, the causing the virtual subject to perform non-contact control on the target virtual object according to a control mode corresponding to the target control, comprises:
• determining a preset ground clearance corresponding to the target virtual object;
• controlling the target virtual object to move to the preset ground clearance in a vertical direction;
• calculating a first horizontal distance between the target virtual object and the virtual subject;
• and
• controlling to keep the first horizontal distance between the target virtual object and the virtual subject.
