Method and apparatus for constructing building in virtual environment, device, and storage medium

An apparatus for constructing a target object in a virtual environment of an application, the apparatus comprising:

• processing circuitry configured to:
• display a first picture of the virtual environment according to a first perspective corresponding to a first observation direction of a virtual movable object in the virtual environment,
• display an object construction controller corresponding to the target object,
• receive a touch operation on the object construction controller,
• determine a target construction position of the target object based on the touch operation, a target distance, and the first observation direction of the virtual movable object,
• receive a touch release operation corresponding to the touch operation, and
• construct the target object at the determined target construction position according to the touch release operation.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing instructions which when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform a method for constructing a target object in a virtual environment of an application, the method comprising:

• displaying a first picture of the virtual environment according to a first perspective corresponding to a first observation direction of a virtual movable object in the virtual environment;
• displaying an object construction controller corresponding to the target object;
• receiving a touch operation on the object construction controller;
• determining a target construction position of the target object based on the touch operation, a target distance, and the first observation direction of the virtual movable object;
• receiving a touch release operation corresponding to the touch operation;
• and
• constructing the target object at the determined target construction position according to the touch release operation.
