Virtual prop control method and apparatus, storage medium, and electronic device

An electronic device, comprising a memory and a processor, the memory storing a plurality of computer programs that, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to perform a plurality of operations including:

• displaying an aiming point of a virtual shooting prop, the virtual shooting prop being controlled by a first virtual operation object associated with the electronic device;
• when a second virtual operation object is determined as an attachment target of the virtual shooting prop, determining, according to a target rotation angle, a rotation manner of a direction aimed at by the aiming point, the target rotation angle being an angle required for rotating the direction aimed at by the aiming point, to align with a target position on the second virtual operation object;
• and
• when the rotation manner is a time-based rotation manner, automatically rotating, by the target rotation angle according to a predetermined time duration, the direction aimed at by the aiming point, to align with the target position on the second virtual operation object.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising a plurality of computer programs stored therein, wherein the computer programs, when executed by a processor of an electronic device, cause the electronic device to perform a plurality of operations including:

• displaying an aiming point of a virtual shooting prop, the virtual shooting prop being controlled by a first virtual operation object associated with the electronic device;
• when a second virtual operation object is determined as an attachment target of the virtual shooting prop, determining, according to a target rotation angle, a rotation manner of a direction aimed at by the aiming point, the target rotation angle being an angle required for rotating the direction aimed at by the aiming point, to align with a target position on the second virtual operation object;
• and
• when the rotation manner is a time-based rotation manner, automatically rotating, by the target rotation angle according to a predetermined time duration, the direction aimed at by the aiming point, to align with the target position on the second virtual operation object.
