Method for selecting virtual objects, apparatus, terminal and storage medium

An apparatus for selecting a virtual object on a user interface of a terminal, the apparatus comprising:

• a memory storing computer program instructions;
• and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the computer program instructions and perform:
• displaying the user interface, wherein the user interface includes a display screen corresponding to a virtual environment, and further includes a first virtual object located in the virtual environment;
• obtaining a predefined execution area of a first operation of the first virtual object within the virtual environment;
• obtaining a visible boundary scope of the virtual environment, wherein virtual objects that reside in the visible boundary scope are visible on the user interface;
• determining, based on the predefined execution area and the visible boundary scope, an effective execution area of the first operation within the virtual environment;
• and,
• determining, based on the effective execution area, a target virtual object.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer program instructions executable by at least one processor to perform:

• displaying a user interface of a terminal, wherein the user interface includes a display screen corresponding to a virtual environment, and further includes a first virtual object located in the virtual environment;
• obtaining a predefined execution area of a first operation of the first virtual object within the virtual environment;
• obtaining a visible boundary scope of the virtual environment, wherein virtual objects that reside in the visible boundary scope are visible on the user interface;
• determining, based on the predefined execution area and the visible boundary scope, an effective execution area of the first operation within the virtual environment;
• and
• determining, based on the effective execution area, a target virtual object.
