Information processing system, storage medium, information processing apparatus, and information processing method

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein a program that, when executed, causes one or more processors of an information processing apparatus to execute information processing comprising:

• controlling a player character's action based on a user's input;
• arranging a first object associated with the player character, at a position in a virtual space based on the user's input with reference to a position of the player character;
• and
• setting, in the virtual space, a region having an extent in a horizontal direction set based on a height in the virtual space at which the first object is arranged, the region including a position related to the horizontal direction of the first object, as a first region related to the user, the region being a two-dimensional or three-dimensional region,
• wherein the controlling the player character's action includes controlling the player character's action such that a predetermined action has a form varying depending on whether or not the player character is located in the first region.

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memories storing a program that, when executed, causes the information processing apparatus to perform operations including:
• controlling a player character's action based on a user's input;
• arranging a first object associated with the player character, at a position in a virtual space based on the user's input with reference to a position of the player character;
• and
• setting, in the virtual space, a region having an extent in a horizontal direction set based on a height in the virtual space at which the first object is arranged, the region including a position related to the horizontal direction of the first object, as a first region related to the user, the region being a two-dimensional or three-dimensional region,
• wherein the controlling the player character's action includes controlling the player character's action such that a predetermined action has a form varying depending on whether or not the player character is located in the first region.

An information processing method for causing one or more processors of an information processing system to at least:

• control a player character's action based on a user's input;
• arrange a first object associated with the player character, at a position in a virtual space based on the user's input with reference to a position of the player character;
• and
• set, in the virtual space, a region having an extent in a horizontal direction set based on a height in the virtual space at which the first object is arranged, the region including a position related to the horizontal direction of the first object, as a first region related to the user, the region being a two-dimensional or three-dimensional region,
• wherein the controlling the player character's action includes controlling the player character's action such that a predetermined action has a form varying depending on whether or not the player character is located in the first region.
