Non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, information processing system, and information processing method

An information processing system for executing a game in which a virtual space is provided, comprising one or more processors and a memory coupled thereto, the one or more processors being configured to control the information processing system to perform at least:

• controlling a player character in the virtual space;
• controlling a virtual camera;
• controlling a vehicle object in the virtual space;
• in the first mode,
• controlling movement of the player character in the virtual space based on a first directional input, controlling a facing direction of the player character in the virtual space based on a second directional input, and making the player character board the vehicle object based on a boarding instruction;
• controlling a position of the virtual camera based on a position of the player character and controlling a facing direction of the virtual camera to be in line with the facing direction of the player character;
• and
• switching the first mode to the second mode after the player character is boarded on the vehicle object;
• in the second mode,
• controlling the facing direction of the vehicle object in the virtual space in which the player character is boarded based on a third directional input;
• controlling the facing direction of the virtual camera in the virtual space based on the fourth directional input;
• making the player character disembark from the vehicle object based on a disembark instruction;
• and
• switching the second mode to the first mode after disembarking the player character from the vehicle object;
• and
• the setting the facing direction of the player character to be in line with the facing direction of the virtual camera when making the player character disembark from the vehicle object.

An information processing method for executing a game in which a virtual space is provided, the information processing method executed using one or more processors, the method comprising:

• in a first mode,
• controlling movement of a player character in the virtual space based on a first directional input;
• controlling a position of a virtual camera according to a position of the player character;
• controlling a facing direction of the player character in the virtual space based on the second directional input;
• controlling a facing direction of the virtual camera to be in line with the facing direction of the player character;
• and
• making the player character board a vehicle object based on a boarding instruction, and then switching to the second mode,
• in the second mode,
• controlling a facing direction of the vehicle object in the virtual space in which the player character is boarded based on a third directional input;
• controlling the facing direction of the virtual camera in the virtual space based on a fourth directional input;
• controlling a position of the virtual camera based on the facing direction of the virtual camera;
• and
• making the player character disembark from the vehicle object based on a disembark instruction, and then switching to the first mode, wherein
• when making the player character disembark from the vehicle object, set the facing direction of the player character to be in line with the facing direction of the virtual camera.
