US 2022/0032191 A1 · VIRTUAL OBJECT CONTROL METHOD AND APPARATUS, DEVICE, AND MEDIUM

Abstract

A virtual object control method is provided. In the method, skill casting is controlled by using a map control, and a corresponding second virtual scene can be displayed when a first trigger operation is performed on the map control, and in response to a casting operation on a target skill, a skill casting target can be determined according to an operation position corresponding to the casting operation. In this case, the selection range of the skill casting target may not be limited to the virtual scene with a virtual object as a center, the casting operation has a higher degree of freedom, and the selection can be accurately performed according to the actual case of a desired casting position when the skill is cast, rather than a rough estimation in the currently displayed virtual scene. Apparatus and non-transitory computer readable storage medium counterpart embodiments are also provided.
