Virtual operation object control method and apparatus

A method for virtual object control in a game application, the method comprising:

• controlling, by processing circuitry, a first virtual object to collect virtual resources for each one of a plurality attack operations performed on a plurality of second virtual objects in a first virtual region;
• based on a first distance between a first detection indicator of the first virtual object and a second detection indicator of a first virtual obstacle being less than or equal to a first predetermined distance threshold,
• displaying a virtual indicator with an amount of the virtual resources to unlock the first virtual obstacle;
• and
• based on (i) the collected virtual resources of the first virtual object being greater than or equal to an unlock threshold, and (ii) a first virtual resource transfer operation of the amount of the virtual resources being triggered by a user of the first virtual object,
• unlocking the first virtual obstacle based on the first virtual resource transfer operation, wherein
• the first virtual region is an unlocked virtual region of a plurality of virtual regions in the game application,
• the first virtual object is located in the first virtual region, and
• based on the first virtual obstacle being in a first locked state, the first virtual object prevents the first virtual object from entering a second virtual region of the plurality of virtual regions.

An apparatus, comprising processing circuitry configured to:

• control a first virtual object in a game application to collect virtual resources for each one of a plurality attack operations performed on a plurality of second virtual objects in a first virtual region;
• based on a first distance between a first detection indicator of the first virtual object and a second detection indicator of a first virtual obstacle being less than or equal to a first predetermined distance threshold,
• display a virtual indicator with an amount of the virtual resources to unlock the first virtual obstacle;
• and
• based on (i) the collected virtual resources of the first virtual object being greater than or equal to an unlock threshold, and (ii) a first virtual resource transfer operation of the amount of the virtual resources being triggered by a user of the first virtual object,
• unlock the first virtual obstacle based on the first virtual resource transfer operation, wherein
• the first virtual region is an unlocked virtual region of a plurality of virtual regions in the game application,
• the first virtual object is located in the first virtual region, and
• based on the first virtual obstacle being in a first locked state, the first virtual object prevents the first virtual object from entering a second virtual region of the plurality of virtual regions.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for a game application which when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform:

• controlling a first virtual object to collect virtual resources for each one of a plurality attack operations performed on a plurality of second virtual objects in a first virtual region;
• based on a first distance between a first detection indicator of the first virtual object and a second detection indicator of a first virtual obstacle being less than or equal to a first predetermined distance threshold,
• displaying a virtual indicator with an amount of the virtual resources to unlock the first virtual obstacle;
• and
• based on (i) the collected virtual resources of the first virtual object being greater than or equal to an unlock threshold, and (ii) a first virtual resource transfer operation of the amount of the virtual resources being triggered by a user of the first virtual object,
• unlocking the first virtual obstacle based on the first virtual resource transfer operation, wherein
• the first virtual region is an unlocked virtual region of a plurality of virtual regions in the game application,
• the first virtual object is located in the first virtual region, and
• based on the first virtual obstacle being in a first locked state, the first virtual object prevents the first virtual object from entering a second virtual region of the plurality of virtual regions.
